Chapter 28: Replica of moon stone

Alora woke up late in the morning but didn’t find Magnus next to her. She propped on her elbows to sit and wandered her eyes around. Touching her lips, she recalled the kiss between them from the previous night and smiled.

She put her feet on the floor and put on the slippers before standing up. The blindfold could not be seen anywhere around the room. "How am I supposed to call in someone?" Alora mumbled.

"You don’t need to." Magnus entered with a silver glass in his hand. "Good morning, Love. You had a good sleep, I suppose," he said, smiling at her.

Alora nodded at him. "Usually it’s tough to sleep at a newer place, but I got a nice sleep," she accepted and saw him drinking. "Is that wine, Your Highness? You should not drink wine in the morning," she asserted.

"It’s blood, my beloved," Magnus answered.

For a second, Alora’s smile disappeared and she got a bit scared to hear that. "Oh. I need to freshen up and bathe. Last night, the blindfold was with His Highness," she murmured.

"Iva, take Princess Alora to the washroom," Magnus instructed a maidservant, who entered the chamber soon with her head down.

"What about the blindfold?" Alora asked the prince again.

"I forgot where I have kept it," Magnus replied, "See you at the breakfast, Alora," he smiled and vanished from her sight within a blink.

Alora sighed and wondered what was in Magnus’s head.

Outside, in the dining hall, Magnus was seated at the chief seat, enjoying the blood. Lillian entered the hall, giving a curtsy to her brother. The servant pulled out a chair for Lillian to sit.

"Lily, it’s not good to enter a place without being called," Magnus replied.

"Brother, it’s the palace. Only you got a separate residence with Alora to live. As your only sister, I can roam around without any interference," Lillian asserted.

"Not here, Lily. Tobias, show her the way out to the carriage," Magnus stated.

"I will go by myself," Lillian said. "Can I not even get close to my sister-in-law?" She complained.

"Lily, you should leave. Alora will be here soon without the blindfold. You don’t wish to die by burning, do you?" Magnus arched a brow at her amusement.

Lillian twitched her lips and quickly left the hall. Tobias told the prince he would escort the princess to the carriage and walked away.

"Fill it more," Magnus instructed the servant, who stepped up. She lifted the jar containing the fresh human blood and poured it into the glass for Magnus.

"Greetings to Your Highness!" Gabriel pronounced as he specially came from Elmswood to report Magnus about the incident related to the werewolf attack.

"I should have waited for His Highness in the living room, but I thought I should urgently report it to you," Gabriel said.

"I thought you would come here with the pack leader," Magnus chuckled and brought the silver glass to his mouth.

"A werewolf was present in the caravan that night because none of the werewolves are absent from the Dark Moon Pack," Gabriel responded and took out something from his pocket, "and these were found at the spot, where the caravan was attacked."

Magnus put the glass on the table and took the wooden token from him along with a replica of moon stone, which was used by some specific werewolves only. "Isn’t it used by werewolves to transform? But only alphas and betas can do that," he asserted, examining the moon stone.

"Yes. Someone wanted to kill Her Highness that night," Gabriel said.

Magnus furrowed his brows together. He felt the werewolf might not be there to kill Alora, but something else. "It’s foolish to think that anyone can kill Alora. There’s more to this story," he asserted.

Gabriel wondered what more could be there. "Your Highness, I have also shifted here," he informed him.

"What? Why?" Magnus asked. "What about your position?"

"His Highness forgot that I was in Elmswood because of him," Gabriel said.

"Princess Alora is near and she is without the blindfold," Tobias suddenly announced, causing Gabriel and everyone to close their eyes, except Magnus, who enjoyed the scene.

Alora looked at everyone with a worried glance and then stopped next to Magnus. She extended her hand out, "Please return my blindfold."

Magnus took out the maroon blindfold with a pattern on it from inside his pocket and showed it to her. "You mean this?" He inquired.

"Yes," Alora almost grabbed it but Magnus pulled his hand back.

"You’ve to give me something to take the blindfold from me," Magnus said.

"What does His Highness want?" Alora questioned.

"A kiss," Magnus replied.

"Wh-what?" Alora was embarrassed by his demand.

"Let’s leave everyone," Tobias said. Gabriel was the first one to leave followed by the others.

"You don’t need a blindfold anymore," Magnus remarked as the doors closed with a thud.

"No, I want it." Alora ran to his left side to take the blindfold. However, Magnus quickly took it in his right hand and smirked at her.

Alora placed her hand on his shoulder and leaned toward him, reaching her hand to his. He stared at her face, which was only an inch away from his.

"You look alluring," Magnus suddenly pronounced, bringing her attention to him. His gaze lingered on her lips, and he licked his own in anticipation. Closing the distance, he initiated a kiss.

In the next moment, Alora discovered herself seated on his lap, yet the kiss persisted. The blindfold became an afterthought as her hands found a place on his arms, the world outside the kiss fading away for her.

Magnus angled her face to deepen the kiss, but he still refrained from savoring her mouth. A few seconds later, he nipped her bottom lip, yearning for a sweet cry and blood too. The scent of her blood fell to his nostrils and the color of his pupils changed instantly.

He withdrew from the kiss, his canines grew, and...
