Lillie“Follow me.” I did just that. I needed to know. I needed to see what he wanted to show me since he said that he can help me.“But, why are you interested in helping me?” I asked him as we went on a walk, away from the palace garden.“Don't you want to be helped?” he asked and I shrugged.I rolled my eyes. “I didn't say that I didn't want to be helped. It's obvious that I am going through a lot and…”Jace placed his finger on my lips, causing me to stop talking about whatever I was going through.“Just forget about it. Leave everything to me.”And that was it. I stopped talking and moved in silence with him. He led me to the direction of the palace library and I kept on wondering what he was up to.How did I even trust him to this extent that I followed him all the way from the garden to the library?Those were questions that I could not understand myself. I could not answer them either. Instead, I saw myself following his lead.“How does it feel to be mated to all four prince
Hello guys! Long time no see. This month has personally been a lot for me, and I'm so glad to see that March is finally over. It's a new month in less than 24 hours, and I'm hoping I'll be able to get a restart on this year. That being said, this is a notice that I would be rewriting chapters 1-10 of book 2 (ONCE BANISHED, NOW A LUNA) and I've been made to understand that the changes would not take place unless you delete the book from your library and add it again. I would be uploading the new chapters tonight and hoping they get reviewed before this time tomorrow. I have put a lot of thought to this story and decided to work on adding much more twists and turns to blow you all away (as I always do) and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it. from yours truly, Edit: The rewrite has just taken place. Enjoy ❤️
Lillie’s POV I had barely run my hands across the spine of some of the books hung in the shelves when the door to the library creaked open. Instinctively, I turned my attention towards the door, just to see David walk in. Pure hatred and rage dwelled in his eyes as he stared at me. My heart thundered wildly behind my chest. I wasn't scared of him, but I had no idea why my insides always acted funny even from the slightest reaction from him. Some tables and shelves separated David and I, but it did nothing to protect me from fury radiating from his body. I was sure that if I went any closer, I would be burned to bits by David's anger. David turned away from me immediately, almost making me rethink if I had really seen the hatred in his eyes. Even if I was uncertain, the burning sensation on my skin was more than enough to remind me. Anger burned bright in me and I clutched my hands by my side. I couldn't do a lot of danger, so it was best if I reeled my anger in. That, and the fact
LILLIE Fresh flowers and beautiful trees. The garden of Dark Moon palace still remained my favorite thing about it. I leaned forward into the metallic rails and heaved a sigh. I had made quite a bold choice earlier that day; a choice I was seriously rethinking as I stood in the balcony of my room, clad in a red dress Jace swore screamed “danger.” He had been nothing but nice to me all day - which only started when I agreed to join his course. Which made me wonder if they were all like that; ready to tear you apart unless you serve their purpose. His purpose was a good one. One that would correct all the wrong done to my brother and I, and more people that suffered our fate. I heaved a sigh as my right hand traveled to my neck. I found my thumb caressing the skin alpha David had carelessly squeezed, and my eyes gently shut at the warmth of it. The gentle breeze swept the scent of his minty breath and chocolate musk aroma back to my nose. Gripping the rails, I gently pushed my head
LILLIE It was a silent drive to the venue of the meeting, mostly because I kept to myself and wouldn’t say a word. The only thing that stayed on my mind was what Jace had said. Did I really have that power over alpha David? Or was I just being kept around until the princes could figure out what to do with me? “We’re here.” Jace called out in his ever enthusiastic tone. I looked away from my side of the window and turned to him. Through his window, I could see a tall building whose architecture could pass as that of a castle. “Welcome to Ivan Jace royal hotel and suites.” I read the words engraved on the sign post aloud, and caught a smile from Jace. “Yes. My best establishment if you’re wondering.” His cocky smile spread from his cheeks to his eyes, and something in my stomach squeezed painfully. “You have a hotel.” I had intended for it to come out as a question, but my heart betrayed me. He narrowed his eyes on me. “Yes.” He reached for my pale hands and shifted, inching clo
DAVID Darkness. I had found out as a child that my brain functioned three times better whenever I worked or read in the dark. Which meant that I turned every light on the ceiling off, leaving nothing but the one on top of my table, which shone bright, but only on the work in front of me. I never looked back. It was for that reason the rest of my study was dark, except my desk, of course. I sighed for what could pass as the hundredth time, scratched my itchy eyes with my fingers, and leaned back into the soft leather of my chair to yawn. I was tired, physically and mentally, but I couldn’t find it in me to sleep, not until she…they returned. I twirled my chair around to stare at the huge windows behind me. Jace’s car wasn’t in the car park yet. My eyes instinctively shifted to the huge analogue clock that rested on my wall to my right; my last gift from my father before he died. It wasn’t hard to see through the darkness with my wolf vision, so I could tell it was minutes past midn
LILLIE The party, whatever its symbolism, was in full swing. Jace, Esmeralda, and I stood at the heart of it all. Jace encouraged everyone who walked by us to eat and drink to their heart’s content. Every eye that glanced at us seemed to settle on me, and I hoped it was more for the way my dress settled on my hips, than for the matching red tattoo on my neck. I should have gotten a damn shawl to hide it. “They would both reject you.” Jace said aloud, turning to me. I felt relieved to finally have his attention, at least it would take my mind off the numerous stares I was getting. Stunned by his statement which - obviously - came out of nowhere, my eyes danced around his tall frame. He all but rolled his eyes as he pulled me closer. I didn’t know why, but my gaze shifted to Esmeralda. She was locked in an embrace with a dark tall man barely three feet away from us. I returned my gaze to Jace. “Daniel and Darwin. They will reject you tonight, or first thing tomorrow morning.” He r
Lillie“No! Let go of me!” I screamed as loud as my lungs would allow me. Rough hands grabbed me by my shoulders and pulled me away from the door. “What are you doing?! I said let go of me! I’m a Darkmoon citizen! I know my rights, you bloody…”“Miss Lillie Rome, we have been ordered by the royal family to escort you to the palace.” Of course, I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me they were from the royal family. The four huge men that stood at my door all wore black uniforms with the wolf emblem of the royal family pinned to their shirts and black berets. “This has to be a mistake.” I spat out, while trying to wriggle free of his hold. “I haven’t done anything. I’m not the one you’re looking for!” I cried out once more. Why would the royal family want to see me? It was more than clear that people in Darkmoon hated us. “The banished”, they called us. Did the new alpha king finally decide to exterminate us all? “Mother! Mother!” I forced myself to turn towards the door while I sh
