Serena

I wasn’t sure where we were going with our conversation, but I was pumped up to make him see I wasn’t just any woman he could discriminate.

Sure I got moments of quivering lips and weak knees whenever he was close by and I couldn’t deny the inexplicable attraction I had towards him, but my will power was strong enough to see past those obstacles. Well, at least for the time being… He was a damn fine man after all and god, thanks to my sexual dreams, I had already admitted to myself I was horny for him.

Anyway, what I said to him was true. I will be on top of him soon, in one way or another…

He responded to my statement with an amused expression on his face. “You’re acting like a luna,” he said. “I’m not sure whether to be proud of it or angry.”

I finally heard that word from his mouth.

A luna.

Prince Elijah mentioned it. I heard it from Lord Hale too. And now, him.

From my understanding of the overused characteristics of werewolves in Hollywood movies, a luna was one female wolf who held a unique power, an undeniable charisma, and a strong influence among her subordinates. She ruled equal to her alpha; with an iron fist but with the softest and loving heart.

I couldn’t be sure if I was fit for this position. I couldn’t even transform into a wolf. I was a human through and through.

I was unsure how to react to his statement, so I just kept myself silent.

Seconds later, however, the atmosphere of the room changed. I found myself surrounded in the cold darkness. The king’s weight was still on me, I could still feel it, but I felt detached from my surroundings.

Then, I saw something out of the corner of my eyes: something beautiful, something flashy. It was shaped like a bug: a cross between a butterfly and a spider. Its rainbow colors popped, breaking the seemingly endless shade of black around me.

My eyes widened. A bright white light suddenly enveloped me and the next thing I knew, a splitting headache filled me nonstop.

Returning back to reality, I found myself looking at the king in pain. “My head. It hurts,” I whimpered.

He appeared to be worried for me, something that I never expected he would. “I’ll get some medicine,” that’s what he said, but I doubt that would help at all.

“Ahhh!” I cried out when another wave of ache started on my temporal, then running along my nape. The pain was so intense I had to double over. Another bright white light filled my vision. I honestly thought I had turned blind because of it.

Tears started to run down my cheeks. I wasn’t able to stop it until finally, my body hit the mattress, my mind slowly turning blank…

Once I was conscious, I saw Rhea and Prince Elijah standing not far away from my bed. They were silently conversing and holding hands, lovingly might I add. The prince was quick with courting her it seems.

Prince Elijah was the first to notice me awake. Then, Rhea turned around to look at me.

“Serena!” she cried, showing a relieved smile. “You’re finally awake!” She approached me and touched my arm in a sisterly fashion.

“Was I out that long?” I asked, no clue at all if I slept a day or more. I sat up and propped myself against two thick pillows.

She shook her head. “No, it’s morning now. Ten to be exact. The Healers came here last night. They said you passed out.”

“Oh, I see…” I murmured, looking down and observing a large bowl and used towels placed on my bedside table.

‘I passed out,’ my mind processed. Remembering what took place before that–with the king on top me and his hard member poking my abdomen–I was under his mercy. Who knows what could have happened then…

“Thank you for taking care of me, Rhea,” I stated, giving her a soft smile.

“Hm?” she looked lost for a moment, blinked fast, and then smiled. “Oh no, I just arrived here thirty minutes ago, Serena. It was the king who took care of you before I arrived. I heard from the Healers he stayed by your side the whole time they healed you.”

I was taken aback. The king did that? Really? I had no memory after losing consciousness. The only thing that stuck to my brain was the white heat inside me and the warmth around my hand.
