The Lost Luna Princess

Chapter 2

Alpha Kings POV

I raced down to the safe room using my enhanced speed to check that Nick had gotten my family

to safety before he had confronted Jason. As I entered the staircase that led to the safe room my nose

was hit with the coppery smell of fresh blood. Fear and anger flooded my senses, and my wolf

Maximus was growling in my head. He was just as pissed as I was promising to make Jason and

everyone else involved pay.

As I rounded the corner the corridor walls were splattered with blood and the lifeless bodies of two

guards were torn apart on the ground.

Maximus spoke in my head telling me what I already knew. The scent from down here wasn’t that

of the rogues but of my lifetime friend and beta Jason. I flung the safe room door open and there on the

floor was my beautiful mate and queen.

Vanessa was alive but her injuries were bad, she wasn’t healing, and I could smell wolfsbane in

her blood.

“That bastard laced the knife in poison” Maximus confirm what I was thinking.

I pulled the sliver knife from her abdomen, the smell of burning flesh entered my nose as it seared

the skin in my hand. My face began to feel wet from the tears that fell from my eyes at the sight of

Vanessa. I knew she wouldn’t survive this the blood loss was too much and the wolfsbane with silver

prevented the healing process from working.

Through our mate bond I could feel her pain, her fear and her anger. She opened her beautiful

blue eyes that once looked like the sparkling reflection of the ocean noticing how they had now

darkened, tears falling from them onto her beautiful flawless face. She looked at me and with her soft

voice she said one thing that made me feel as if my world had ended.

“Angel”.

Had Angel been taken had someone saved her I didn’t know but I promised Vanessa, I would find

her. Maximus was using all of his strength to try and come to the surface knowing that our pup was

missing, it took every ounce of power I had to hold him back. And with that I felt my heart tear into

pieces. My Vanessa slipped away. I felt our bond fade leaving nothing but emptiness and the feeling

that half of me had died. I couldn’t hold Maximus back any longer and with a deafening howl I gave him

control.

- Luna Queens POV

It had been a long day; I had gone back to my room to settle Angel as the festivities had worn her

out and she was beginning to become fussy. There was a sudden knock on the door before it burst

open startling me. William had ordered Nick to get me and our daughter to safety so he could lead the

road to victory against the rogues that had entered our territory slaughtering a few of the guards that

were on patrol.

“Follow me Luna and keep close” Nick shouts as we run down the corridors of the palace.

I had Angel in my arms as she was somehow able to sleep through all of what was happening.

Pack warriors rushed past us as they went outside shifting into their wolves heading towards the

western borders. I wished that William was coming with us, but I knew that being alpha and king to the

royal pack meant he needed to be by his fighter’s sides, giving them strength and courage as he

stands with them.

“Luna wait here” Nick whispers in a soft tone, my eyes widened as the smell of rotten eggs came

from the staircase leading from the basement.

“Rogues” I replied.

I wished I too could fight beside my pack as I was a skilled warrior before I became a mum.

William didn’t like the fact I would fight when needed but he knew he couldn’t stop me. Myself and my

wolf Diamond enjoyed the hunt. Diamond was an ivory colour wolf with green eyes that resembled

emeralds. I too am the daughter of a pure-blooded alpha, and I was a direct descendant of the moon

goddess, meaning I was stronger than many Lunas. My wolfs colour was rare confirming we were of

special blood.

As I held Angel closer to my chest Nick rounded the corner my heartbeat thumping away as I

hoped that he wouldn’t be overpowered. Growls and whines came from the staircase then all of a

sudden Everything went quiet, before finally Nick emerged.

“Right let’s go” Nick said as he led me down the corridor.

There on the ground were the bodies of two rogues, one had fully shifted and by the looks of it the

second died while shifting. Nick had been quick to deal with them before they could harm us. Once me

and Angel were inside the door was locked. I had asked Nick to go and aid the others knowing no one

would be able to get in here. He reluctantly agreed after mind linking his mate, the gamma female

Marie asking her to join us as she too was a trained warrior. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

It didn’t take long for Marie to arrive; she wasn’t as slim a build as most she-wolves Marie was

muscular in build with her red hair styled in a bob due to all the training she went through to join the

packs warriors. She didn’t wish to be a mother as she enjoyed the thrill of the fight and feared if she

had a pup, she wouldn’t be able to train. Time seemed to pass slowly as we waited to be told it was

over. It was then that Myself and Marie got a mind link from Jason our beta that things were ok, and he

was coming to escort us back upstairs.

“Do you not think it’s strange that it’s Jason informing us and not our William?” Diamond was

concerned but I reminded her we had no reason not to trust Jason. He was after all the beta and

Williams best friend.

Just as I opened the door to the safe room, we caught the smell of blood and rogues. We

immediately knew something wasn’t right but before we could shut the door Jason had forced it wider

open. My eyes widened with shock as I took in the sight before me. Laying on the floor was the two

guards Nick had ordered to stand guard both torn apart and their blood covering the floor and walls.

“Why” was all I could say before I felt the burning sensation of something sharp enter my

abdomen.

Jason had stabbed me with a silver knife that felt like it had been dipped in wolfsbane as the pain

was like nothing I had ever felt before. Diamond whimpered as she too felt the pain as I did. I fell to the

floor and looked straight to where Marie was comforting Angel.

“Take Angel and run. Run like you have never run before, please save her” I begged through the

mind link.

I could see the tears burning in her eyes knowing she didn’t want to leave me to die her Luna and

best friend, but she respected my wish.
