Lahat ng Kabanata ng Wolf's Bane: Moonlit Forbidden: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 27

Her room was at the far end of the castle, with the window facing the sables. Beyond that was the village, and beyond that was the forest. She stood there, by the window, leaning in to rest her elbows on the railing with thoughts in her head as she fixed her eyes on the forest. The sun was still up in the sky, but it was beginning to set."Too slow," she thought to herself, talking about the sun still holding up in the sky. She let out a sigh and turned away from the window, walking to her bed then said it out loud, "Too slow."She wanted to get to Ivone right now and it wasn't just because she wanted to tell her about her brother's plot, it was a little bit more than that. The last time they had seen had been days ago. Or weeks? She hadn't been keeping count but she knew it had been a long time ago. Her wolf howled and her body craved.As she sat on her bed, she allowed her fingers climb up her shoulders to the nape of her neck and caress the marks Ivone's teeth had left there. She b

She was laying down lazily on the bed with her eyes fixed on the ceiling when she heard the call. Immediately, she jacked off the bed and ran to the window. She held her breath and her heart in her hands and fell silent, listening again for the call just to be sure.And then she heard it again."Maya!" she screamed in her heart.Her heart fluttered and raced and she quickly ran to her wardrobe to take off the night wear she already had on. Filtering through the dresses she had come to own, she chose something simple from the wardrobe to put on and she quickly got dressed, the excitement of seeing Maya again tonight drove her on.Just as she finished dressing, she made for the door, paused to calm herself down before she placed her hand on the door knob. In that moment, a knock came to her door and her heart skipped several beats. She felt like she had just been caught doing something she should not have been doing and her heart refused to settle."Ivone," came Triston's deep baritone

"You are a long way from your castle, aren't you?" he smirked micheviously, "Maya Thorold."Fear settled in Ivone's heart as she read the look in Triston's eyes. She heard a bark from behind her and the huge wolf they had initially thought to be Reyes settled down into his human form. She recognized him, he was Jaxon, Triston's delta."I was right to follow my instincts and trail you," Triston said, speaking to Ivone who brought her attention back to him, "I wanted to know where it was you were constantly running off to, I never did expect you would lead me right to a Thorold.""Triston, listen to me," Ivone began. Her hand left Maya and was held out in front of her against Triston. Knowing where his mind was going to, she tried to reason with him, "Maya is not her brother, she is not Reyes.""You should step aside, Ivone.""Triston please!" Ivone said in desperation, "I know you want your revenge, so do I but she is not Reyes!"Triston shook his head, "No Ivone, you do not want this

But then, if Triston had wanted to exert his revenge on him by killing his sister, then he would have made a big show of it in the same manner or similar to how he had done with his own mate, Damaris. He would not have taken her to Elyria to be killed there, because he was sure that Triston knew that if Maya's blood, as the princess of Nyxoria, was spilled on Elyria's soil, drawn by an Elyrian, it would mean war.He groaned and stood still, bowed his head and pinched the bridge of his nose. Right now, he just had to believe that his sister was alive. Safe? he wouldn't know, but at least, she was alive. He took in a deep breath, let it out heavily and stood straight with a frown on his face."Back to Nyxoria," he said and transformed.Dathan narrowed his eyes at him, a little bit confused, "And what about the princess, Maya?"Reyes turned his head to Dathan and produced a low growl from his throat in annoyance. Dathan bowed his head a little, lifted both hands in the air and took a cou
