All Chapters of Return of the Luna and the last Lycan clan: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

If things weren’t gloomy enough on an average summer day, it felt even harder now to find an ounce of joy or happiness now that the clouds were rolling in and the sun barely peeped any warmth through. I used to love autumn… it’s cool breeze, wind through my fur, running through the trees as their wet orange and yellow leaves brushed past me. I loved the smell of the damp grass, and the way the rain seemed to replenish the dry earth. But now, without the freedom to run around carelessly, or take a moment to stroll through the trees that surrounded our border, there wasn’t much left to enjoy about it, and for the first time in my life, I couldn’t wait for autumn to be over. I chucked on a thick cloak over my acceptable Luna gown and walked away from the window so that I could get on with baking the apple and pumpkin pies and deliver them all before the day had ended. I walked into the kitchen expecting to see one of the omega’s waiting and ready to help me when I suddenly gasped at the

For the last three days since Marco’s birthday celebrations, we have been getting along better each day, partly because we have barely seen each other, which was a good thing for me. As much as I have been able to slightly tolerate him lately, I still preferred as much space from him as possible. But I woke up this morning telling myself that today had to be the day, I had to somehow convince Marco to release Richard and Rorke from their cells, and I was going over and over in my mind how I was going to approach it, because I knew that out of all the sun wolves still on our land, Richard and Rorke would be the ones that Marco would be most wary of because they were so close to my father and he probably assumed they had full knowledge of what happened between my father and the slayer. I took my time, slowly walking to his study, preparing myself to come across as calm and understanding as much as I could muster. The way we had been civilised lately, arguing with him wouldn’t work, bein

I woke up to see the drapes were already drawn back and Marco wasn’t in the bed. I had taken myself to bed early last night when one of Marco’s palace guards came to me and informed me that Marco was too busy to attend our dinner plans. I was all too relieved that I didn’t have to face an awkward dinner setting with him, with enough time for him to discuss that…. That kiss! The one that I wish had never happened. It was such a small thing, and yet… the repercussions were troubling. I hopped out of bed and headed straight for the bathroom, but as I swung open the door, I jolted back in shock and embarrassment. There standing at the bathroom sink brushing his teeth, Marco was completely naked with his towel laid messily on the floor. I shrieked as he looked at me with wide eyes in surprise and I quickly shut the door again and paced around the room feeling mortified and flustered. The bathroom door clicked open as Marco bashfully cleared his throat, and I peeped round to look at him,

“You ready for some more pate?” Marco grinned as I approached him at the top of the grand stairs.“As long as it’s not covered in weird jelly, then I’m ready”. I jested in return with a smile as I took hold of his arm.He began leading us down the stairs as people below were being ushered into the ball room by the palace omegas, and I felt a sense of relief when I saw Maura being escorted in along with Landon.“Let’s hope we don’t have to do another formal dinner for a while, I’m not exactly a big fan of mingling”. Marco commented as we reached the bottom of the stairs and waited in the hallway until everyone had been appointed to their right seats.“Really, you? I never would have thought you out of all people didn’t like to socialise”. I joked with a chuckle.“I know! Especially as I’m so approachable”. Marco retorted with sarcasm as we both sniggered and finally entered the room.“Please stand for your alpha and Luna!” An omega announced and everyone got to their feet and bowed the

I tiredly opened my eyes, blinking through the grogginess and blur as I was met with the view of the bedroom ceiling above me. I glanced around realising that I was tucked up in the bed and I had bandages on my left arm and a gauge on my right shoulder.“Ooh, you’re awake!” Lucille cooed and I looked at her as she stood beside the table near the window and Marco sitting there with a tray of breakfast and a pile of paperwork.I grunted as I tried to re-position myself on the bed, feeling my ass was numb and my back felt stiff. Lucille quickly poured some fresh water into a cup as Marco got up from his seat and sat on the edge of the bed right next to me.“Do you need help moving?” He asked in a kind and soft tone.I shook my head and tried to hoist myself up into a sitting position. As I moved, Marco moved my pillows up against the headboard for me to lean against, and I eyed him curiously at his attentiveness.As soon as I was sitting comfortably, Lucille handed me the water and I gulp
