The Heavenly Luna

Chapter 5: Aetherion kingdom

Lumina's pov

"Stop making noise so you won't disturb her shhh keep quiet" "Mum why can't we wake her up yet" "she's weak let her rest", I heard whispers, trying to open my eyes, I blink gently "she's waking up" I heard "go call the high king". I woke up seeing a woman with Silver-white hair flowing like moonlight, Soft glowing skin, Pale blue luminous eyes and a beautiful girl with Long crimson-red hair like living fire and Golden-amber eyes that glow when angry, Pale royal skin with faint flame-like markings during magic use, "who...who are you?" I asked "Me I'm princess kaelira Ashmoon of Aetherion kingdom and this here is my-" the other lady with silver white hair almost like mine cut her and said "I am selene Ashmoon the moon goddess and the former queen of Aetherion kingdom" she said "Mum why didn't you let me finish" the girl I found out her name is kaelira a princess "I can introduce myself no need to help me" the queen said but it's shocking she's the moon goddess. I chuckled at the way they bantered, they both turned to me, " uhmm...it's nice to meet you your highnesses" I was about to come down from the bed and bow but the queen quickly stopped me and said "No don't do that honey, you're still unwell" "but..." I was about to protest when The door suddenly slammed open, crashing against the wall hard enough to make me flinch. He stormed in.

Power entered the room before he did heavy, commanding, impossible to ignore. My breath caught as Draven Ashmoon crossed the distance toward me in long, urgent strides.

“How are you?” he demanded immediately, his voice low but edged with worry. I stared. And completely forgot how speaking worked. Up close, he looked unreal like some ancient Greek god had stepped out of a legend and chosen darkness instead of heaven. Tall, easily over six feet, broad shoulders wrapped in black, moving with the effortless grace of a predator who knew nothing could challenge him.

His dark hair fell slightly into his eyes, as if he had rushed here without caring about appearances. And those eyes...

Red.

Not soft red. Not human red. But deep, glowing crimson, burning with power… and unmistakable concern as they searched my face.

How am I supposed to answer him? my mind whispered helplessly. How am I supposed to form words when he looks like that?

Dangerous. Beautiful. Terrifying.

Perfect in a way that felt almost sinful to look at for too long.

He stepped closer, tension radiating from him, his gaze moving quickly over me as if checking for injuries.

“Well?” he pressed, voice softer now. “Are you hurt?”

My heart betrayed me, racing wildly beneath his attention.

I opened my mouth.

Nothing came out.

"Answer don't leave my brother hanging" kaelira said with sly smirk. "I... I'm" I'm so embarrassed and flustered right now with my cheeks hitting up "I'm fine"
