Silver Moon - hima (universal ebook reader .txt) 📗

<Keete’s POV>
The bright light from the moon, illuminated her translucent skin, she was perfect in every way, world seemed to hold right there when her alluring smile made its way to her lush lips, I wonder how such a perfect girl chose me, she gingerly took my hand and placed it in hers squeezing it tightly shut, she leaned on to my shoulders and relaxed.

Her lips parted and then closed again, she did it for a while, she wanted to ask something but she couldn’t. Is she worried about being martially bond?

“Ilene… just ask whatever it is?” her eyes met mine. I could see her hesitation.

“You are not ready for marriage and you need sometime... Is that it?” she nodded that hurt me a lot, I know that she loves me and bonded with me but her hesitation to marry me tore my heart into pieces.

“I love you… it’s just that there are lot of things going on now. I need to get used to this way of living first…” the sadness is radiating off her and it wrenched my soul more than anything. I couldn’t see her like that… I carefully blocked my mind from her.

“Don’t worry about it… we have lot of time together…” She cut me off with a gentle kiss which was a pure bliss.

Pure love filled her heart and it is a good thing for me… Mitrik cleared his throat making grand entrance…I felt like strangling him for interrupting us.

Ilene shied away from me; the faint blush that grew into the red on her cheeks allured me even more… I wanted to be left alone with her.

“Dad wants to see you…” she nodded still hiding her face from embarrassment.

I watched her walk away Mitrik; she was graceful and sensuous in her movements, it was like her feet never touched the ground, she was like a purple breeze walking in that purple evening gown. As the distance grew between us, I had the sudden urge to snatch her away and lock ourselves in a room where none would come in between us.

I sighed as she walked away from my vicinity, I didn’t want to let her away from my sight so I followed after her like a puppy.

I have waited so long for her; we have faced so many hurdles to be together this day… I clearly remember the day when she was brought here… she looked so fragile and vulnerable in her human form. She was reluctant to believe this world; her hatred towards it thinned the hopes of being with her.

When she finally came to accept who she was, Conan came in. None ever knew how many times I thought of killing him for coming in between us, the only thing that stopped me from doing so is her; I could never hurt her in anyway…

Those days were the far worst days in my life… sending her alone with him while I tried not to break apart when she and my family needed me most? Tristan’s voice interrupted my train of thoughts.

“Are you sure about it?”He was upset about something what would it be?

“We are sure about it…” Ilene’s musical voice filled my ears, she is anxious.

The mixed feelings of them confused me, what are they discussing about? Why is Tristan upset? Why is Ilene anxious? I decided to find out, if something is bothering her than I should know it.

“Uh…Keetes. DO you agree with Ilene?” Tristan asked eying me curiously.

“I never go against her wish…” I replied. True… I would never go against her.

“Well, it’s settled then, your marriage is postponed…” Tristan’s words cut through me like dagger. I get it why he is upset, now.

I have granted to Ilene’s wish but I couldn’t make my heart accept it wholeheartedly. Ilene’s face lit up, she scurried over to thank me, I winked and pulled her closer. Mary walked just in time and whispered something to her.

“Duty calls…” she said and leaving me for the second time.

I don’t why but it seems lately that the whole world is trying to separate me from Ilene, Ever since she ascended the throne she is busy with the night world matters and the only time I get her with me, someone takes her away.

I left to my room sighing, Mitrik grinned knowing what I’m going through. I sat in her room waiting for her to come…Why did she want to postpone our marriage? Few days, back she is so excited about it what made her change her decision? Is she hiding something from me, I don’t think so she never kept any secrets…

<Ilene’s POV>
I walked into my room to see Keetes asleep on my couch, I slid into his arms and lay there, his warmth radiated into me, he pulled me tightly into his hug still unconscious, the only thought I picked up from him was me, I know that he was upset about the wedding but there is no other choice for me…

I wish I could say that; I want nothing more than being with him but there are things that should be taken care of first. If even one percent of Mitrik said is right, I couldn’t risk him knowing it. I know the consequences of letting him know about Mitrik’s vision. I dozed off into sleep watching his soft smile that never left his lips…


Conan is having a difficult time in controlling little Ilene, She is the youngest wolf in the pack and probably the most energetic, she liked challenges and that’s what always kept her in trouble all the time, Conan had warned her most of the times not to pick fights with the young wolvens of the pack, he thought having wolves blood running through their veins they had advantage over her.

Conan sighed as the young wolves are preparing the battle ground. He remembered clearly the days when she brought her home, She was afraid at first to mingle with huge family, she was tentative to come outside the safety of her room but soon she joined the good company of Joy and people began to surround her all the time, she has a charm to attract people.

My pack gave a warm welcome to her, she was given the name “Ula” as her wolf name, nobody knows her true name which is a good thing for Conan since that name brought many memories to him.

Ula slumped on to the branch beside Conan dangling her legs. “You are upset…”She demanded. All the pack members respected Conan as an alpha and with respect they had some fear to speak up to him but Ula never cared for the pack rules, to her Conan is a good friend.

“Shouldn’t I?” Conan smirked. “You know I’ll win…”Ula pouted.

True, to her word Ula always won challenges, she is flexible and had tactics that won her all the matches but Conan was afraid that some day she would get hurt with her over confidence.

“I warned you…”Ula cut him off. “You know I couldn’t resist a challenge besides Josh picked up the fight first,” She pouted.

Conan nodded his head in disbelief, “I just want you to be safe…”he said. Ula blushed at that, she liked it when Conan sounded protective of her.

Josh the young pup of Jane walked in, “Ready?”he called. Ula nodded and nudged Conan to get up and dragged him with her.

“Ula…This I’ll win…”Josh smirked.

“In your dream…”Ula snapped. Josh is Eddy and Jane’s kid, he has brutal strength which makes him even with Ula.

The pack had a out dooor stadium just for this purpose, the young wolves had a tendency to always pick up the fights and facing challenges is one way to get them trained. The pack members sat on the raised benches eager to watch.

“Be careful…”Conan said as he let Ula go. She winked and ran into the field.

“Go..Ula…Go…”Rose and Jack screamed. Ula gave thumbs up and winked. Conan stood up from his huge chair sitting on the top round of circle, everyone went silent.

“Remember…No dirty tricks, I need a clean fight…” His voice boomed in the surroundings.

Josh ran straight at her flying his arms on Ula’s neck, she went down on her knees and skidded past him, and landed a blow on his back, he flipped back and threw his right fist , She dodged it past, he tripped her and she fell face on the mud, some of them stood up in anxiety, as Josh grabbed her neck and pounded her onto the grounded. Conan couldn’t resist the urge to go after him, he held on to arms of his chair tightly. Ula twisted in the mud, She used her legs to kick him and in a second’s distraction she got up and twisted his arms and had him pinned to the ground, Josh hit her with his head, Ula swaggered as she felt dizzy, Josh got up and lunged at her, she dodged him but couldn’t miss his blow. She felt on the ground, Everyone gasped.

Conan ran into the ground and he threw him away from her growling, “The fight is over kid…” he growled.

Conan scooped her up and carried her into his quarters… Ula woke up after sometime catching his hand… “It hurts…”She complained.

“Stupid girl, If I see you again in fighting…I’ll personally kill you.” Conan grumbled.

“Josh, just got lucky.”She complained. “Whatever…no more challenges for you.”he said.

“Oh my god!” Ula jumped up by the familiar voice, Conan went rigid soon after hearing her.

“Ilene…” Ula jumped in joy to hug her, Ilene paid them visits frequently… most of the time it’s Ula going to visit her in the palace…She would stay for few days and be back.

“What happened?” She said tracing her fingers gently on her patched wound on the forehead.

“It’s just a scratch…” she slapped her fingers away from it. Ula hated when Ilene fretted about her safety, Ilene treated her like a baby and that hurt Ula’s pride.

“Why can’t you stay away from the fights?” Ilene chided gently.

“Like that’s going to happen?” Ula smirked

Ilene nodded her head in disbelief. They spoke for a while about regular things, Conan left them alone to talk, he ran into the forest confines, howling in pain. Every time he saw her, he could feel the strings of his heart being pulled, he put up a façade in front of everyone that he got over her but everyone knew how much it hurt him to see his first mate living with someone else.

Ilene tried talking to him so many times but he was just distant to her, it only hurt him more. Ilene hoped that he would someday move on and some girl would come into his life who would keep him focused on her.

“Where’s Conan?” Ula frowned when Ilene asked this question out of blue. “He must be in his room…”she said.

“I just want to have a quick word with him…”Ilene said and scurried into
