Alpha vs Luna novel Chapter 2

Octavia jolts back to life, her chest heaving in a rapid motion, she wipes the sweat from her face before turning to the dark sky, the moon and her sisters dancing in them joyously.

She turns to her room, her eyes scanning the surroundings for anything that could burn; for fire. But there was nothing. She turns to her side to see a bare man laying beside her, snoring soundly.

She heaves a very sigh as she placed her hand on her chest, she was off jewelry except for a precious ring she wore on her fourth finger.

She gently gets out of bed, making sure not to wake her husband up, flashing her nudity to the world, she took one look at him and there is no emotion in her eyes.

She wears her extravagant robe and walks out of the room, closing the door behind her. She walks down the palace halls looking for who her heart desired, she was restive and she needed to be in his arms.

She passes by a room and decides to check up on her.

She opens the door gently, only peeping, and she discovers that she is sleeping soundly. A small smile graces aging features before she closes the door once more.

She turns back only to bump into someone,

“Are you looking for me your majesty?” A sinister grin decorates his lips but she is not impressed,

“No, I just wanted to get some fresh air.” She lies through her teeth avoiding the man’s smirk, she still didn’t like to be caught stealing,

“Sure you do, well, I’m going to bed, good—” he’s walking away until she drags him back by his hair,

“Did I tell you to leave?” She’s as cocky as ever and he couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped his lips but it was a taunt to her, “I want to speak to you…… it’s weighty….” She avoids eye contact and he knew that something was up.

“Very well….” His hands are wrapped around her waist snuggly and he leads her outside to their private garden, and when they were alone, “what is the matter Octavia? Did you have another revelation?” His tone tenses up as he guides her to the floral bench; a beach that was made up of vines and flowers and was suspended by strong vines to a tree making it more of a swing.

It was a bit high above the ground so he hat to pick her up and place her on the bench, slightly swinging it to put her at ease. Her lips purse unsure of how to explain this to him,

“I did…..but it wasn’t like the one I had when Arcadia was born…… There is going to be big trouble soon Xerxes….” She speaks in bits as she looked for the right words to explain to him. She finally stares into his blue orbs, they held worry, “why are you burdened already?” She cups his cheeks lovingly before looking around to make sure no one saw their affectionate display,

“Why won’t I be concerned? Any time you say things like these you’re almost pronounced dead each time. What will I do to protect you now?” He looks at the moon before glancing at her euphoric features, “what did you see Octavia?”.

She takes another deep breath and her eyes lock with his, fingers intertwining and their souls bonding.

“The demise of our kingdom……my death…..” She breaks out and his eyes widen,
