The king turned so pale I cried. I cried because I realized what I had just brought on myself. Everyone in that area gasped with their weeps getting even louder. My legs shook as if to buckled, Brum cursing over and over again behind me. I knew I did something stupid but I could not let them kill a pack member. As much as they hated me, I was the luna of the pack, I was a mother to all of them and I would not watch while any of my children got hurt. I would protect them to my death, that I what a luna does.
I was panicking but I would not take my decision back. My fear came back, so scared I thought I would faint.
The king turned, his whole body turning to me. The whip was already coated with nothing but blood, it dripping to the ground as Stern fought to stand up straight. My lips shook, my hands too. What a promising day it had been but that was gone.
The king’s eyes moved from me to the beta, not knowing what th
“Get him up, get him up please.” I shot, no one seeming to snap out of the feelings they were buried in. I tried standing, afraid to hurt him, but the king was passed out so I sucked in a breath and tried standing up with him.Brum was scattered on the floor, his mind not there, knowing he had gone through the worst torture with my heart tearing for him. I wished I could go to him and apologize but I could not.My tears were blinked back.“Snap out of it and get the king up before he losses more blood. Someone link the doctor, we will take the king to his room.” I shot out, my body stepping back, my own body on fire with some of the whips having torn through my side, but that could wait.A man ran up, helping me carry the king. I held one arm with the man holding the other. The king weighed so much I thought my legs would snap yet I would carry him. We walked away, blood dripp
Nightfall fell and the king still had not pulled from his state of unconsciousness. I felt as if l was losing my mind, the only thing keeping me sane just his moving chest.I lay on his back, breathing him in and out. My lips pressed on his cool skin now and again. The room was dark, the windows having been opened with the growing crescent in the sky, the curtain dancing to the wind’s tune.The food was still untouched, lunch having been taken away. The ladies came back when dinner hit, bringing a few other dishes for the king and I. They peaked and asked how he was doing and all I could do was fake a smile and tell them he would wake up soon.The door suddenly opened, pulling me from my thoughts, my head picking up but not enough to see who had entered.I heard footsteps, leading to me sitting on the king to fully turn and see the intruder. I already had a good idea for there was no one else who would walk in with such confidence when the king was
I could barely stand, literally stumbling out of the flying machine with my eyes closed to take a deep breath then opened them and stood up straight.I pulled a smile on my face, fixed my walk, and walked as if everything was alright.The eyes were felt on my body, analyzing all the tears on my clothes along with the blood. I was sure I was a black and crimson mess.My head was nodded as I passed all the people, opening the door to walk in.A part of me thought I would find him awake and standing, a part of me thought he would no longer be there but he was. He was still lying on the bed, his body quivering.back, him burning hot with sweat beads on his skin. He was restless, sounds that made no sense to me but from contact, he went so still. My worried eyes wrecked over him, hearing a nearly silent sigh with his chest collapsing. My head bent, a kiss on his temple.I did not know what was happening to him
The only way to keep sane was by lying where he had slept while covered by his t-shirt. I loved how baggy it was, my nipples were hard from it caressing them. I had cleaned myself but I could still feel him in between my legs. I could still feel his tongue now and again, having me clutch my legs together. I ached for him in a way I had never ached for anything. If I could just see him again, if I could just kiss him. My fingers ran on my lips, aching for his and burning for his soft lips to take mine and leave them sore. Was he with her? Was he cupping her butt and ravishing her? The images slipped in my head and I groaned. No work was done that night, too much having happened during the day. There was no way my mind could part from the cruel king who held my heart in his grasp. Was it stupid for me to think he cared? Somehow, I knew he did. Someh
“Before we leave, can I please have a meeting with those working in the kitchen and in cleaning? This meeting could happen anytime, I am free. When can most of you guys be free? Or I could just have a few representatives now.” I said, my chair pushed back, standing up just as the king had stood up. I wanted to say it out when he was still there so the people would feel a bit compelled to attend the meeting. The room fell silent. The king standing still, his eyes to his people. My heart drummed, my hands sweating. I was starting to like the guy, like, besides the mate bond. “We can stay back now luna.” A voice came with heads nodding and my smile was too much. “Thank you so much,” I replied, feeling so excited. Finally, something was happening and I could just kiss the king. He turned and made his way to the door. Brum was right after him. Before, I would have asked him to stay but with all that had happened, I felt I had a great standing wit
My ears were out listening for anything as I walked through the road leading to the pack hospital. It was busy to my shock, so many people in the forest, wondering what they were doing but all I had in mind was to make it out alive.I took a turn with the pack hospital coming to view. It was painted white, a two-story building mostly built of glass. It was extravagant. I had not imagined it being that fancy. I walked to the doors which just slide open on their own from my approach. My eyes went wide, like a child discovering a magical world.My eyes then fell on the large reception desk but there was no one there. I walked past it, sure that if anyone was close, they would have smelt me and come through if they could. My eyes scanned around, it smelling better than I had expected. There were too many doors until I saw a direction pointer. The wards were on the next floor. I took the flying machine which opened to many labeled doors. The lights were bright,
The walk back in the forest was fast with my ears perked up, listening to all that were near me and also trying to think of a way to break what I would to the king and royal beta. I shook my head, chuckling just from the thought of it.I took the flying machine up, my hands shaking, my eyes barely seeing anything with something thick and heavy stuck in my throat. My hands rubbed on each other. The flying machine seemed to move fast and slow at the same time. I was trying to sort through my words, trying to come up with a speech that would have me at better odds of getting what I needed. The doors dinged and I thought I would faint.My heel clicked on the floor, seeing the doors, passing all until I stood before Brum’s office. I raised my hand to lower it. My face was pure black I was sure from all the blood just rushing there. I was hot and flustered, the dress suddenly too tight. I knocked once, listening, with no reply coming so I ju
I did not back down, us just staring at each other even when Brum cleared his throat. I was not going to be the first to pull away from his stare, I was not going to take whatever wolf’s ass words he was spitting out.I cleared my throat, adjusting in my seat while still holding his stare. I could see that my defiance was awakening some interest in him, a smirk on his face, and oohh that smirk, I was in love with it.Everything he did was absolute magic.“Yes my king, it would be wise to just sit and let your luna show you her skills and techniques,” I said to him, licking my lips in the process to bite my lower lip. There was no way he could resist, his eyes lowering and staying on my lips, full and wet for him.Wait!!! My mind was getting too dirty for my liking.His eyes drew back to my face, me sitting back and watching him. It turned to a long stare before
