The Disgraced Luna Queen

Chapter 8: The Priestess

Unknown POV

I had been watching the Lost Princess for awhile now, I was not sure if she was truly The Lost Princess at first. She held no powers when I stumbled upon her and the omega wolf who cared for her when she was 21 while out in the city. But I knew it had to be her as she was the spitting image of the late Queen. Eventually we brought her down, she was a powerful, wonderful Luna. Until we manipulated her life & turned her into the Disgraced Fallen Luna. But something has changed. The vision I am seeing now is different. This was not the fallen Luna we saw 16 years ago. How different she is. She is still graceful, she is prosperous with money and influence. But her family bond is weak, very weak especially the mate bond. Interesting. She still wants him and him her, but the guilt and lack of trust is preventing it. Maybe that can be our advantage over her.

16 Years Ago…

At first he didn’t believe me until I took a picture of her and showed him the woman who resembled the Late Queen.

He grew angry immediately, asking why didn’t I take her down! She was a threat to all that we achieved. But I told him, she had no powers, and she had a shield of some sort surrounding her. He grew even angrier with me. “Tail her, find everything out about her. We need to bring her down to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled.” He demanded.

My King, she is different than the other one. She has a mate and children. She is the Luna of the strongest pack in the south. She is unaware of what she is or who she is. She also did not have the mark of the blessed one but it could be the shield that I sensed is hiding it.

“Listen Priestess. You should have foreseen this. What use are you to me if you could not have seen her?” He growled near my face.

I thought the same thing, before I blurted out “I believe the Moon Goddess and Lycan God had something to do with it. Or a powerful witch. There are only about 4 strong witches left that I know of that could perform this type of magic.”

He stared brooding at me, before finally saying “ Very Well. We will have to bring her down by the one thing that can break her. Her family and her mate. And then death.”

Present time

I came out of my trance .. she is stronger and her family will have powers as well. We will lose this war. I looked for different outcomes, but she always came out on top. This does not bode well for my king and I. But can it be that she will truly rise from disgrace and defeat to bring us all peace? Can she even rule over vampires? We have no King or Queen of the night. The faes are all but destroyed, barely recovering.mm far and few.

I have to find out before I inform his majesty. His rule is not what he promised. Only Werewolves are prospering, all other supernaturals were hunted. I am even wanted for death among my own kind for the betrayal. I should have seen this but I believe my own gods saw it fit to blind me with limited sight because they knew ultimately I would betray my own kind.

This Luna and Future Queen her future is promising. Her rule is going to be exactly what was prophesied all those years ago. I feel as though I should be following her. I feel as my path is meant to be with her. I choose the path of destruction because I believed in a man who felt threatened by a child and wanted power not peace. I forged my own path because I didn’t want the fates to decide for me. But now..now I don’t know anymore. My powers are limited due to who I follow. I know when I was younger and my mother like figure told me my future was to be great if I choose to stay on the path decided for me. But being new to the vampire world, my choice of mortality taken for me, I decided I wouldn’t let that be taken the way they took my choice on life from me.

True I had a rough childhood growing up living as an orphan in the streets rejected by all because of my powers of sight as a human were manifesting then. My mama left me in the orphanage said I was too special to handle at 5 years old. God it hurt, seeing her leave but as I grew older I loved it. I loved the freedom being a human had. Sure I had to scrap for food and for a place to sleep but it was worth it. I got older and learned the way of the world And then he came into the picture..

Flashback:

He saw me digging for food, when they were passing by on their cattle run. He pulled up on his horse all handsome and confident. He studied me and I studied him before I stated “Staring is not polite sir.”

He chuckled and said in a southern drawl “My apologies ma’am, your just really beautiful. I’m trying to figure why someone like you is digging and scrapping for food.”

“Well that is none of your business sir. But if you must know, I’ve been alone all my life. No one to take care of me. So I do what I do to get by.” I stated with a slight attitude.

He c****d his head to the side..”how about we change that? I can buy you a nice meal, get you cleaned up and you can tell me all about yourself at the local diner. Then I have a deal for you.”

“Hell No. I am no w***e, so whatever is running through your mind you can forget it. I might be what you call beautiful but id rather work for my means the right way. Doing little cleaning jobs, errands to earn some cash than be anyone’s whore.” I spit out with so much venom in my voice.

He c****d an eyebrow up at me and said “w***e? Who said anything about you being a w***e? I’m a business man, and I don’t need whores. If I wanted a w***e I could go up to the nearest w***e house in the next town over for that. What I am offering is something brand new to the market.”

Flashback ends

Thinking on my past life. If only I was smart enough then maybe I wouldn’t be in the position I am in now… a struggling vampire priestess serving a Lycan. Hated by my own kind.
