Luna was struck when she saw Nina Kissing luca under the mahogany
tree. She wished that she was mistaken but her eyes were deceiving
her. She watched as her heart broke once again. Nina was practically
devouring Luca, and he was not stopping her. He held her by the waist
and participated in the kiss. She watched as their tongues entwined and
their mouths consumed each other. Just then she let out a growl and
Luca came to his senses. He saw Luna and realized what had happened.
He could not understand what had just happened and saw the hurt in
Luna's eyes. He quickly pushed Nina away and walked toward Luna.
She looked at him with pain in her eyes and ran off into the woods.
Luca was inclined to go after her but he could not. Something was
holding him back. He stayed at Nina's side until the evening.
Throughout the day Luca felt torn. His heart was with Luna but his body
did otherwise. It didn't feel real and She kept spraying him with this
perfume. He didn't even like the scent. What was going on. He needed
to break free from what ever this was. He knew that it was not normal
what was happening to him but he didnât know how to fix it.
âLuca!â his father emerged from the trees and Luna ran as she knew
that Luca's father would know what she had done. She had been
warned by her mother but she so loved the power that she had over
Luca that she decided to enjoy it. Now she'd been seen and no doubt
the prince would have her hunted when he found out. âLuca, what is
wrong with you! Get my son to the palace and find the elder!â
The palace guards pick up Luca and like lightning took him to the
palace. Luca's father was sure that it was witchcraft and immediately
summoned Lunaâs uncle and Nina's parents along with Nina. Everyone
made haste and were present except Nina. Her adopted parents had no
idea where she was. This just confirmed the prince's suspicions. He
however kept his calm and awaited word from the elder and spirit
healer.
Luca could not speak but he had his wits about him. It was just that he
had no control of his body. âWhat the hell is going on? What did that
bitch do to me? I will have her head when I recover from this. She set
me up and possibly drugged me with this perfume. She made me look
weak and horrible in Luna's eyes. I will Kill her when I recover from this.â
He thought to himself. Luca lay still as the healer did her thing. She had
identified the problem and told Luca's father that Lt was a love spell
that was used on Luca and as the person used too much it paralyzed
Luca and that he would be ok but it would take some time to recover.
Luca's father was furious. He asked Nina's parents to bring her to him
when she got home and to speak nothing of it to her. The two were
embarrassed and ashamed and angry. They couldn't believe that their
little girl could do something so demeaning and especially to the future
king. They were beside themselves with emotion. It was night and no
one had seen or heard from Nina. This only made her situation worse.
Lucian returned to his house and failed to tell Luna what had happened
as he was more concerned of what had just happened to Luca. What
was done to Luca was similar to what had been done to his pack's
Alpha by the witch, only difference was that instead of a love potion he
was poisoned. Thankfully he recovered but the damage had already
been done. He couldn't help but wonder whether the witch was in
anyway involved in this. If so, what could be the motive? What do they
want? Why did they use the prince? And how is Nina involved. As
Lucian sat in deep thought in the kitchen at the table, Luna walked in
and as she was not in the mod to talk to anyone simply went up to her
room. The two lost in thought.
Luna sat on her bed tears flowing down her cheeks uncontrollably as
she replayed the image of Nina kissing Luca and him kissing her back
under that damn mahogany tree. Her heart was already broken. She felt
defeated to a love that was yet to be acknowledged. Her powers were
ready to perform. She wanted to burn Nina to a crisp hell before doing
that she wanted to beat her till she was broken and then burn her but
she had no right to do so. Luca had not chosen her. She didnât even
know whether there was anything between them.
All she had were a few glances, an erection from him that could have
been imagined, and a few displays of affection from Luca. He never
came out to tell her that he loved her, or wanted her or even kissed her
like he did Nina. She only got a peck on her forehead and probably so
she would feel better. He'd probably done it out of pity. And there she
was walking on air thinking that she would be chosen by a prince, the
love of her life. She sat on the bed torturing herself with the image of
that kiss and her heart broke. She felt heart wrenching pain from it all.
âLuna, come to your senses. What gave you the idea that someone like
him would even consider you as his mate. Come to your senses. He's
known her all his life. Who knows how long they'd been doing it. Why
did you get your hopes up? Luna, come to your senses. Please. You
cannot appear to be this weak.â With that she got into the shower and
went straight to bed, seeking solace and comfort in her dreams.
