Broken Luna loves again Book 2

First night

Ethan's POV

I didn't plan to get angry but I just couldn't control it.

I'm not angry at Claire for the way she acted, I'm angry because she doesn't want to tell me anything.

And how could she expect me to be selfish when I see her suffering. I just couldn't add more stress to her lack of sleep and worrying.

Everyone stays clear of me and just bow their heads in respect. I must be emitting some strong alpha aura into the atmosphere because the minute I enter my office Logan stands looking at me worried.

"Woah, dude are you okay?” I close the door behind me and take in a deep breath fighting the urge to punch something.

"Is it Claire?” He asks whilst studying my face.

I slightly nod and he sighs too.

I walk over to the comfortable couch and just sit down throwing my head back.

"Look, I'm mostly on your side, all the time. But don't you think you should have told her before?” He walks over to me and I glare right at him.

"Okay. I won't say a word.” He raises his hands in surrender then backs up a bit.

I sigh then scrub my face with my hands.

"I didn't know how to tell her. I couldn't tell her." He pays close attention.

"Well do you think she'll still back out now?” I take in a deep breath then stare at Logan.

"Oh Gosh.” I exclaim then stand.

"You're right. What if she backs out now?” I question looking nervous.

"Okay it was just a question. Don't let it get into your head.” Logan pats me on the shoulder.

"Just talk to her. Make her understand.” I look at him curious.

"How?” At that he smiles happily and I regret asking.

"I never thought this day would come.”

"Logan.” I roll my eyes and he chuckles then clears his throat.

"Show her. Show her that it's not as hard as it seems, and that you will be by her side through it all.” I nod at Logan's words, but on a second thought.

Did those words just come out of his mouth??

"What the hell happened to you this past six months?” He shrugs at me then walks towards the door.

"Talk to her…..Also since you're back, even though you just came, just have a look at those documents on your desk. It's just two. It won't take long.” He smiles.

"Really.” I roll my eyes again.

"Yeah, welcome back Alpha.” He adds before exiting and closing the door behind him.

I take in a deep breath then let it out.

I hate to admit it but he's right. Also I can't talk to her right now. Let me give her some time to cool down first.

I sit back down in the couch and pull out my phone.

I smile at my wallpaper which is a picture of Claire sleeping.

Half of her face is covered by her hand and the other half covered by her hair but I can still see her beautiful cheek and one eyelid.

I unlock my phone and this time it's of her in shorts with a black blouse and jeans jacket sitting cross-legged and laughing whilst trying to reach out to my phone.

"I really hope you don't back out little wolf.” I smile at the picture then look over at my desk.

Looks like there's no rest for me.

Claire's POV

I watch as Ethan storms out and a bit of the anger I feel leaves with him.

I bend over with my hands on my knees then let out a very big breath.

Did I really act in the right way?

I mean how did he expect me to act with this big revelation?

Of course I'd freak out.

In my mind I thought I was just moving into a new pack to meet new faces and eventually become their Luna.

But a Queen, that's just a whole new level.

It's not something you just show me. It's something you prepare me for so I don't freak out.

Really, how was he expecting me to react?

I stand straight again and a little wave of dizziness washes over me.

I massage my temples and I realize how tired I am.

I look over at the huge King size bed with its beautiful grey sheets that look so inviting.

I take my time to study the exquisite interior of the room and I realize how huge and masculine it looks.

Almost every single thing in the room is coloured dark.

"It must be Ethan's room.” I think to myself then walk over to take a seat at the edge of the bed.

His sweet scent fills my nostrils and I close my eyes to savour it and let it calm me. I open them again and look around. I spot a study area with a book shelf, a little dinning area before my eyes land on our suitcases and I sigh.

I should probably take a shower to take the tension away then see if I can take a nap.

I enter the huge bathroom which has the same colour as that of the room and I pause for a moment. I look at the shower then at the huge bath tub.

"Of course there are two.” I sigh then choose the shower and have myself a warm relaxing bath.

I head back to the room with high hopes that Ethan is back, even though I don't know if I'm ready to talk to him.

Disappointment spreads across my face when I don't see him here.

I sigh then move to my suitcase to put on some clothes.

After dressing I sit at the edge of the bed then run a hand through my wet hair.

A message pops up on my phone and I smile at the wallpaper on my lock screen.

It's a picture of Ethan and I. I'm blowing a kiss whilst staring into the camera but he's staring at me like always. Like a lovesick puppy.

I chuckle at that memory then sigh.

"I just wish he would have told me." I whisper to myself.

"He's not the only one keeping secrets you know.” Mia announces and I crease my forehead.

"What are you trying to say."

"Before you get angry at him for not telling you he's a king, how about you do a self check.” She growls lowly then disappears into the silence.

Feeling exhausted and not ready to deal with Mia I brush away the thought to have a little nap.

I wake up to find that I surprisingly slept for two hours.

About five minutes after I woke up I hear a knock on the door which startles me a bit.

I hold my breath for a moment as I wait for him to come in but the door doesn't open.

I hear the knock again followed by a voice.

"It's a maid your highness, please may I enter?”

I gape a bit not knowing how to respond. I climb off the bed then look around. She probably thinks Ethan is around.

I fix my hair a bit then clear my throat.

"You may enter.” I respond before the door knob turns and in walks a beautiful petite woman in maid's clothing.

She closes the door behind her then bows at me. I look around a bit confused.

"Umm, Ethan is not here." I say hoping she'll stand straight.

"I'm here for you, your highness.” My eyes widen a bit at the words coming from her mouth.

"Well, umm, sure.” I respond but she nods as she's still bowing.

"You can stand straight." I tell her but I feel it's so wrong to say it like that.

The woman stands straight and I stare into her blue eyes before she looks down a bit.

"Who are you again?” I ask rather curious.

"I was assigned as your personal maid your highness.” I gape for the second time.

"Why?” I ask that stupid question then facepalm.

"I'm supposed to help you dress for occasions and to be at your immediate service.” She continues to look down avoiding eye contact.

"Thanks but I don't think I'll need a personal maid." I speak politely to not offend her.

"I'm sorry your highness, but I was instructed by the queen to be your personal maid. The queen instructed me to help you dress for tonight's dinner."

"Of course." I think to myself then sigh.

"Do you know where Ethan is?” I ask hoping she'll know.

"No please, I haven't seen his Majesty.” I slowly nod at the official names.

"Okay, when does this dinner start?”

"In thirty mins please.” I nod again then look at her still looking at the ground then sigh.

"Can you please get me a makeup kit?”

"Yes your highness.” She instantly bows then leaves the room.

I quickly hurry up and get dressed in a beautiful blue floral design dinner dress before the maid gets back.

I'm sorry but I really don't need help to put on my own dress.

I hear a knock on the door again and I know it's the maid.

"Please enter." I respond then straighten my outfit.

She enters and bows again.

"How do I look?” I ask and she looks up at my dress.

"You look beautiful your Highness, but I'm supposed to dress you myself.” She looks back down with the makeup kit in her hand.

"Well you can do my make. If that helps.” I suggest and she bows again.

"Please, not too much.” I request after I take a seat and wait for her.

After some foundation to cover my eye bugs, light pink lipstick and some other wonders I'm ready to go.

I look into the mirror and marvel at her work.

"Wow, you're really good. Thanks.” I compliment and she bows again.

Soon we're downstairs and on our way to the dinner.

I wanted to wait for Ethan but time is running and I don't want to keep his mother waiting.

With the maid leading me we pass by rooms with nicely exquisite doors and I can't help but wonder what's on the other side.

We arrive at the huge stairway with golden frames and the maid pauses.

Down the foot of the stairs is Ethan's mother and two guards at both ends.

I swallow a bit when she sets her eyes on me. The maid bows at me before leaving me alone.

I walk down the stairs to meet the queen who meets me with open arms.

"You look explicit.” She compliments with a smile and I also look at her dress.

"You look beautiful too....your majesty." I compliment with a small bow and smile.

"Please, I said call me Katherine." I nod at her request for the second time.

The queen is in a nice fitting sleeveless dinner wear and I can't help but gape at how beautiful she is.

I don't know how old she is but I know she's not supposed to look this young and beautiful.

Oh wait, she's the vampire. I remember Ethan telling me his father was the werewolf and his mother a…vampire.

Hold on a second. How come she and I clicked. Normally we're not supposed to like each other. Or its the mother in law bond?

"Where's Ethan?” She looks back up and I look at her confused.

"I thought he would already be there.”

"He's not.” Katherine shakes her head and I begin to worry.

Gosh I hope he's okay.

"Come on, don't worry about him. He'll join us soon.” Katherine assures me then leads the way.

We stop in front of a huge double door with guards at both sides.

The guards open the door for us and the Queen enters first before I follow.

I enter yet another breathtaking place.

The dinning hall is huge with a long and wide center table and matching chairs.

The hole room looks like the inside of a gold bar and I can't help but gasp at the beautiful bright chandeliers.

Okay, did I mention that this is my first time being in a castle? Well now you know.

The Queen stops at the table filled with just three people who stood up the minute she walked in.

She smiles at them then reaches for my hand.

"Everyone, Meet Claire Andrews. The future Queen of Artea.” She pushes me forward and I have to smile at them.

I look at the faces and I only recognize two.

Logan and Lydia.

Wait Lydia, my trainer from Paris.

I'm about to reach out and shake their hands but they all bow to me and I stay still.

I did not see that coming.

"Okay, so this is Logan Tennor. The beta but Duke to the humans." I try not to look shocked at the Queen's statement.

"Lydia here is our new general and she works alongside Logan. To the humans she's head of security.” I nod.

"This is our Delta, Michael. He's in charge of the humans.” She points to a nice looking blonde who smiles at me.

He's a delta, then this means Crystal Moon pack is huge. Only packs with huge populations have a delta who is last in command to the alpha.

"He's also like a duke to the humans.” She adds and I wonder why they have two positions. Is it some kind of system in this country.

Suddenly the doors open and we all turn our attention to Ethan walking in.
