60. His Moonlight
KIAN
Night turned to day, and day turned to night once more. I was only stopping to give Morgana blood and to eat and drink. At times, I’d shift, and at others, I’d walk.
Morgana opened her eyes a few times but she was weakening despite how much blood I was giving her. She was able to stay awake for longer but she wasn’t able to do much more than to cling to me weakly. She kept apologising for the burden she had become, what she didn’t damn realise was that she had fought like a fucking queen, protecting my back as she held her own by my side.
“We’re almost there.” She whispered, her eyes had never looked so washed out as they had this morning, her face ashy and her breathing laboured. “I’m sorry... You must be so exhausted.”
I could feel her guilt and anguish through the bond, along with her helplessness.
“Really sunshine? Not with that again. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)You fought like a fucking warrior goddess, and I assure you, watching you was a fucking turn on.” I said,
She let out a weak laugh, kissing my neck softly.
“Only you would think that.” She murmured.
“I think you’re underestimating your beauty.” I replied, making my way through the snowy mountain.
That possessiveness at the fact that this prince was her ex made me frown. I was curious to see what the dickhead looked like, what had been so appealing about him that she had chosen him. Someone who had been befitting enough to capture my woman’s attention…
“You’re getting jealous and angry.” She murmured.
Perks of the bond, it worked both fucking ways.
“I’m not.” I denied trying to block my emotions off from her.
“You know, you and Thanatos are the only ones I love.” She whispered, her head resting on m y shoulder, exhaustion clear in her voice.
‘Mate mentioned me too, she’s fucking perfect.’ Thanatos growled.
“Well, he’s happy you remembered him.” I remarked, tilting my head and kissing her forehead.
I paused staring out at the mountains, we were out of Clair De Lune. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)We crossed those borders when we passed the river. Right now we were in unclaimed land, but a few miles forwards and I was sure we would reach the borders of Elandorr. A place I had never been to, a place said to be full of magic, splendour and beauty.
Yeah well, I hope they were as strong and welcoming to match their kingdom’s fucking appeal.
“I can feel the magic... We’re nearing the border.” She whispered.
I paused.
“Already? I thought it was a few miles out? Then again, I’ve only ever scouted this place to get a scope on my kingdom. I’ve never come too far out.”
“Hmm, I can feel the veil…” She murmured, pressing her lips to my neck once more, placing soft kisses along it.
Fuck was it wrong that even in this state, she was still fucking turning me on?
“Do you want my first appearance in front of the elves with a fucking hard on?” I growled, slowly easing her off my back and into my arms, bridal style, then kissing her neck.
She gasped, grabbing onto my jacket weakly.
“It wouldn’t be a bad sight.” She whispered, looking into my eyes. I pressed my forehead to
hers.
Fuck not much longer and you’ll be ok…
I kissed her lips deeply, forcing myself to keep control rather than devouring her when she was already so weak.
“Is the veil a barrier or just a concealment spell?” I asked as we continued forward.
“Both.” She replied, “We won’t be able to cross it until we are granted permission. There’s a Teason Elandorr is the only kingdom said to not welcome anyone in.”
Taa
“Yet you think this guy will allow us in?” I said, now able to sense the magic myself.
She smiled faintly.
“He will.” She said this with complete confidence.
I was doing this on her words, but even if she was wrong, I wouldn’t hold it against her. I just hoped that even if he didn’t offer us help, he’d at least help heal Morgana.

Another hour passed and I could actually feel the power in the air. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)I was beginning to lose focus on my sense of direction. It was colder and icier, I could actually feel it biting into my
bones.
“I thought the barrier is somewhere here.” Morgana whispered weakly. Her breath coming out in a puff of white mist due to the cold. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“I think we’re already in it…” I murmured.
She looked at me and I stopped. Elves had hearing and sight that was more than impressive. They must be close enough to hear us…
“We seek passage to speak to the rulers of Elandorr.” I said loudly.
Morgana looked at me before motioning me to place her down. I frowned but did as she said, supporting her body that she was not able to hold up by herself.
“I have been welcomed into the kingdom of Elandorr by his royal highness, Prince Orrian himself. I have a message which he told me would grant me passage!” She said as loudly as she could
I heard the soft rustle of something shifting around us and then it felt like everything stilled. I t was almost as if the very air around us was waiting.
“What message?” A strong melodic voice asked.
The cold seemed to lift and the haze that had seemed to have settled around us thinned out. Trees that were in full bloom were scattered around, ice droplets frozen on the coloured leaves like jewels glinting under the sunlight. As far as I could see, these tall, elegant trees covered the area, but they were spread out, each one having its own area. In the distance, I could see some sort of gate made out of white wood and silver filigree patterns.
I looked at the three men who had now un-mounted their white horses and were walking towards us. Each one was dressed in the finest threaded clothing one could find. The type you would wear on a
special occasion. Silvery white fabric with embroidered thread work, with fine chainmail and grey pants underneath. Each one held a long sword in his belt and carried a bow and arrows. Their hair was similar shades of light blond to one another’s, worn in thin braids from the front and the rest left open. Their eyes were all light, icy blue, pale green and light brown. Each one, tall, lean, yet built with a regal air to them.
“Aal rai’ash hara si oren dashe saara ki Orrian aal Elandorr nayash!” Morgana said clearly and confidently.
Her words fucking hit me hard and I felt as if I had been doused in icy water. I felt as if someone had just stabbed me through the fucking heart. I clenched my jaw swallowing hard a s I exhaled sharply. My eyes snapped to Morgana, her words echoing in my head and my eyes blazing as my emotions surged through me. Did she know what she had just said?
She looked at me, confused at the sudden change in me, but before she could even ask me what was wrong, the men spoke in unison.
“We yield to our future queen.” They said, bending one of their knees before us, each one placing a fist on his heart and lowering his head to Morgana.
Morgana’s eyes widened in shock, turning her head towards me. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)I knew she realised that her words held a meaning she wasn’t expecting and the way those words had hit me hard.
“…No… I don’t… I don’t know what I said…” She said, worry filling her as she clenched my top.
“I come home to my beloved, with the gift of his promise under the white sky of the mountains of Elandorr.” I said quietly.
The words sounded sour in my mouth. They may not have meant much, but in the elven tongue, he had given her no less than the gift of a promise of love and a proposal.
I hadn’t been so sure before, but it was clear their relationship had been far deeper than I had thought
“Kian.” She said softly.
I was fucking trying my best not to show my anger when she was already unwell, but it was hard to contain it completely.
“Kian-”
“We will take you to the prince.” One of the guards said, motioning for Morgana to take his horse.
“I’m ok, Kian will hold-”
I lifted her onto the horse, getting on behind her. No matter how fucking hard this was, I was not going to shut her out, despite the urge to take a break and clear my head.
My heart was thundering with rage and anger. My instincts were telling me to rip this
fucking asshole to shreds when I see him but I’m sure even Morgana wouldn’t forgive me for that, I thought bitterly. She is mine, and I’ll be damned if this fucking Orrian so much as looks at her in the wrong way
‘Kill him.’ Thanatos spat, his anger like a fucking tornado in my head.
I held her firmly in my arms as I guided the horse after the other two men, my eyes blazing gold.
“Kian listen to me.” She whispered.
“Save your energy.” I said, I was unable to look at her.
I know it was in the past, but it fucking hurt. Yeah, I’d had Sage but something told me this bond between them was fucking deeper.
“Kian …” She swallowed and I wrapped one arm around her tightly.
The men watched us sharply and my eyes flashed. The urge to kiss her right here overcame m e, and so I did, placing my lips to her neck softly. She sighed and I realised her heart was pounding as it always did when I touched her, making me feel fucking guilty that I got angry over something that wasn’t really her fucking fault.
“I didn’t know what.”
“Don’t. Let’s meet this prince.” I said, my voice barely able to contain my anger that burned
through me, and I knew the elves could sense it too.
She didn’t speak after that, realising I didn’t want to talk. As much as I felt guilty for it, staying silent was the best way for me to be able to control myself.
We rode for a short while, through the snow and trees when the sound of a galloping horse made one of the men signal for me to stop. I tugged at the reins, my other arm around Morgana’s waist.
The moment the man pulled his horse to a stop, leaving a flurry of snow in his wake and jumped from it, I knew he was the fucking prince. He had long ash-blond hair that fell over his shoulder, reaching halfway down his back, two braids woven alongside the side of his head in the elven style and a crown that rested on his forehead. Dressed in a white tunic and light grey pants, he oozed power.
His icy grey eyes widened as they stared at Morgana.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) The intensity of his emotions made my gut twist and my anger flare.
“Moonlight… It’s good to see you again.”
And the fucking cherry on top was that Morgana’s heart began to race…
