His Wolf's Luna

My heart ceased to beat for a second and my eyes widened in shock. What was going on? Kayla had ordered for me to be locked up so she could marry Marcus without interference from me. No, I had to stop them. I tried to move forward again but the guards were quick to stop me, bowing right in front of me. “How dare you! I order you all to leave here immediately!” I yelled in anger but they were not ready to let me go. They simply stood, transfixed on a spot like they had not heard what they said. “We are very sorry, your majesty. We got a royal decree to not let you leave and until it is revoked, we cannot allow you to leave” Anger welled up in me that very minute but immediately, it transitioned to tears. I was deeply hurt. I had to do something. I could not imagine my sister getting married to the monster. Kayla’s POV “Your Highness, Marcus is around” One of the maids announced as I made my hair. For reasons unknown, I wanted to make my hair today itself. I had to get accustomed to it. What if I had no maid at Marcus’ place? Marcus was known to be very brutal so the chances were high that he would not allow me to have a maid. I nodded at the maid and then looked at the reflection in the mirror. Sadness was boldly written all over my face. I died immediately. Living with Marcus was like selling my soul to the devil but I could not put my sister’s and the whole pack’s life at stake. If Marcus didn’t get me, he was going to go after my sister. If he could not get her, he would destroy our pack. Violet... My heart raced at the thought of her. Vee was not so easy of a lady. She was going to ruin everything if she comes to see Marcus. She could get Marcus upset and he would kill everyone. No. I was not going to allow that. I had to think of a way to stop her as soon as possible. “Nia” I looked up at one of the maids. Immediately, Nia bowed and walked closer to me. “Get Vivie’s breakfast and take it to her room. Inform her that the dining room is under construction for the preparation of our guest” She bowed and nodded. Just then, I sighted Yvonne and Yvette giggling and chatting as they headed to Violet's room. Immediately, I beckoned on one of the maids to call them in. “How well do you love Vivie?” I stood up and walked to them, holding their shoulder. They were shocked as they had least expected it. They looked at each other in confusion. I already knew what their answer would be. Aside from me, Father and Mother, they were the next set of people who could lay down their lives for her. “Marcus is around. You must not tell Vivie about this” I looked them in the eyes and they both nodded. Good. “What if she comes out? What if she finds out he is around?” Yvette questioned, trembling. I was even gentler than Violet yet she feared me more than she feared Violet. “We have to stop her and that is left to you ladies” I turned my back to them. “Violet is desperate to save me and as such, is proposing marriage to Marcus in my stead” They gasped at this revelation. Of course, that was what I wanted and that was the reaction I awaited. I know they would not want it. As sad as it may sound, they would prefer Vivie to marry Marcus than me because they loved me so much. Of course, if there was any help they could proffer to get her out of the mess, they would do it but at this point, there was nothing they could do. “I will deploy guards if she tries to overpower you both and leave the room but while in the room, do your possible best to distract her from coming outside” I ordered and then turned to look at them. “We understand” They bowed and left at my approval. That was settled. I immediately deployed some guards to watch over Violet's room. She could not get out of there no matter how hard she tried because I knew she could not defeat the guards. Satisfied that everything was in order, I walked out of the room, trying my possible best to remain as calm as possible when in reality, all I wanted to do was cry. I was hurting deep within and it was painful there was nothing we could do. My mate. I was going to miss him so much. Rejecting him was going to be so difficult for him as well as for me but if that was the price I had to pay for the safety of the pack, then I was willing to pay it. Like the royalty that I am, I tread the steps gently, down to the living room. The tables were set, breakfast was set as well and as expected, Mother, Father, and Marcus were sitting on it. Marcus sat on the end of the table like he was the owner. I was upset but there was nothing I could do. A smile formed on his face as he looked at me. I pretended not to see him and then sat by Mother’s side. Mother looked surprised as she looked around, perhaps, searching for Violet. Vivie had not found her mate hence Mother had believed it would be easier for her to accept Marcus since she had not found her mate and she would not feel the pain of rejecting a mate. Father looked shocked too as I was the only one there. I was the heir to the throne so they wanted me to stay at all costs.
