His Silent Luna

CHAPTER 6

Lyka POV

The City of Blackburn was very beautiful with tall skyscrapers and almost everywhere, and tall buildings. The streets were bustling and there was lots of traffic but a siren was on our car indicating we were important and cars gave way to us.

I couldn't stop staring out the window through the ride to the palace and once I got there, I gasped.

The palace was ten times bigger than mine back in White Mountain, and it was more beautiful.

The palace operated with high technology, some devices I've never seen before. I was in awe. Once we got out of the car, numerous servants were already gathered, waiting for us.

“Welcome back, Prince Silver. Welcome to the palace Princess Hazel.” They greeted us.

The welcome was heartwarming, especially with the beautiful smile on their faces but Silver didn't care, he brought out his phone from his pocket and placed a call.

“Follow me.” He instructed then began walking into the palace. I gave them a small bow, I didn't want to leave them hanging like that then caught up with Silver. “What the f**k was that?” He snapped at me.

I just stared at him, unsure of what to do. He walked closer to me, and said softly, “You need to forget that you were a slave, Lyka.”

Why did the way he said my name make me happy and get butterflies in my stomach? It could be because he's the only one that's used it in a very long time. I had forgotten how it sounded. Whatever it was, I loved the way he said it, the way it casually rolled off his lips, it was turning me on which shouldn't be happening at this moment.

“Don’t ever bow to the servants again. Don't embarrass me.” He was so close that his breath was fanning me, I couldn't breathe as I tried to calm my beating heart. “You understand, Lyka?” I managed to nod.

He then intertwined our fingers together and led me into the palace. I tried to walk normally but I kept stripping on my feet. His blue eyes were unforgiving to this mistake but he surprised me by wrapping his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him. “Is this better?” He leaned down a whispered in my ears. I looked up at him, his eyes softened, and his lips parted slightly. I had to gulp down hard.

No, it is most definitely not better. My heart was pounding in my chest and my legs were getting weak, my breath was shaky and I wasn't sure how I was going to control all the electric sparks I felt inside.

I nodded, I couldn't tell him any of that anyway so I had to bear with it. He tugged away some strands of hair on my face behind my ear, “Then let's go.” His voice was low and deep, it was very seductive for me and the warm look in his eyes didn't let me stop staring at him. There were some strands of his dark brown hair on his face and my hands itched to touch them and tug them behind his ear. Just when my hand reached for his hair, his eyes turned darker and his face contorted into a frown and I froze immediately. “I said let's go! You're mute, not crippled.” He barked then turned his gaze from me.

I awkwardly dropped my hand and began walking. I wanted to walk away but I couldn't, this was the palace, his family stayed here and they might be watching us right now. I need to act well so I'll get the benefits from the deal we made.

He walked me to my chambers in the palace for the crown princess and handed me to the maids to help me get settled.

Before he left, he instructed me to be ready to meet his father in two hours.

The quarter for the crown princess was beautiful, it screamed royalty and extravagance from the decorations, the paintings, the types of furniture, and the overall interior of the rooms. Blackburn was indeed wealthy, they are the richest country in the entire werewolf kingdom and the supreme rulers over all the packs and Alphas.

I was greatly impressed and outright star-struck once I saw my royal wardrobe. Designer clothes, shoes, accessories and jewelry.

“If you don't like the style our personal fashion designer and advisor picked for you, we can have it changed immediately.” I heard a feminine voice say behind me in the middle of my wow moment. I turned to her and saw she was one of the maids that greeted us on our arrival.

I shook my head in answer then waved her off. I couldn't speak and I couldn't let them know I couldn't. How we're going to pull this off? I have no idea but I'm counting on Silver to find Hazel before the week runs out to save his butt.

I took a long shower and I felt the jet lag kicking in but I couldn't sleep off, I had two hours to settle in.

I showered and got dressed in a navy blue dress that fell on top of my knees. Blue is Silver's favorite color so it should make an impression that I was somewhat dressing to his liking.

Before the hours elapsed, a guard came for me to escort me, luckily, I was ready.

He took me to a pavilion where Silver and His Majesty, the Alpha King were both waiting for me.

Once Silver saw me, he gave me a heart-melting charming smile that has probably made many she-wolves fall in love. He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, “You're here.” He says then gesturing to his father, a man who's probably in his eighties or nineties, “This is my father, His Majesty.” I bowed at him and gave him the best smile I could give.

“Your Majesty, this is Hazel, my mate.” And to my surprise, he brought those icy blue eyes to me and then locked our lips in a kiss.
