Bal could feel that someone is staring at her. And it was not only physically looking at her, but also she felt like it was scrutinizing even her soul. But when she sensed her mate's presence, she instantly felt at ease. Bal slowly opened her eyes and was greeted by Kaylon's gorgeous pair of eyes.
'Would you like to tell me something?' Her eyes were wide open while looking at Kaylon. She was sure that she heard his voice. But his lips are not even moving nor did open his mouth to speak. Her brows furrowed trying to comprehend things. And then she remembered what happened last night and how she enjoyed herself being blissfully marked. 'I guessed the story that I read was right. Kaylon and I are linked to each other now.'
"I-i'm sorry, Kaylon. It wasn't my intention to hide it from you. Canary! It's Canary's idea." When those words left in her mouth, she could already hear Canary's howling from her head. Telling her that she's unfair.
"Since when did you wake your wolf up?" Kaylon strokes her hair while still fervently looking at her eyes. She was not comfortable with the mind communicating yet.
"Just yesterday. When we came here . . ." she murmured. Feeling ashamed of the headache she caused yesterday.
"I'm sorry, love. I can't imagine the pain you go through. Canary won't just puff out like a bubble. You woke her up. With great emotions. It won't happen again. I didn't expect that you're this jealous, baby," he teases.
"I didn't mean it. I-it just happened. I guess I lost control."
"You're amazing and full of surprises, my love. I'm so happy that Moon Goddess gave me a second mate. I know that it's a rare thing to happen. And I'll cherish you." Kaylon cupped her face and gave her a sweet kiss on her lip. But instead of preparing to get up. Bal could already sense that Kaylon is up to something. Something that she would surely kill just to have too.
Their soft kisses started getting intense as Kaylon's hands were now slowly moving their way down to her naked mountain.
Suddenly, Kaylon's hand came to a halt when they heard a loud knocking on the huge door of their chamber.
"Damn it! This should be reasonable or I will go on a rampage!" Bal swallowed nervously upon seeing the annoyance on his man's face. She could say that this is another side of him; being grumpy when disturbed. Of course, she's always on the go whenever Kaylon wants some sexy time again with her. It doesn't matter if she was just devirginized last night. Her body was fully healed due to her unique body healing ability. And because her pain last night was caused by her mate, he was the reason also why her body healed more quickly than she anticipated. 'But it was a blissful pain!' Balvina thought and covered her face with the pillow so no one could hear her screaming while giggling. She wasn't expecting being marked to feel so good. Most likely she would go crazy just by thinking about Kaylon. The night they shared. How he touched her, how he made her feel wanted, and being the most beautiful girl in the whole world.
"Love . . . I'll be back in a moment. Some things need to be immediately tended to in our little kingdom. Your two maids are already here. I love you." Bal nodded and stared at him. She was now looking at Kaylon's every move, wearing his huge black shirt and breeches.
"You can rest here, love. But if you want to look around, your maid will escort you." Kaylon leaned closer to her ear. "They might look fragile. But they are one of our best pairs in combat . . ." he mumbled and kissed her again.
"Be safe," she said and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Augh! Not enough . . ." She heard him mumble while walking away slouching.
It didn't take long when Balvina heard three consecutive knocks again, just minutes before Kaylon left.
"Luna Bal . . . We're here!" Even though they've just met. Balvina could already tell who's Laleth and Lolitia in their voices. Not to mention the difference in their scent. She also trusted the sisters for she can feel nothing but love and sincerity in the two whenever they are with her.
"Come in, Laleth and Lolitia," she said and quickly fixed the quilt on her body. Her eyes were on the floor staring at her beautiful nightgown that was mercilessly whacked by Kaylon.
"Ehhh! We're happy to be here and serve you, Dear Luna." the sisters lower their heads. But Bal could see that they were uncontrollably giggling.
"Did something good happen to both of you?" she asked, while her brows wiggled.
"Oh . . . Nothing much, Luna Bal. We're just happy to see you radiating today." She could clearly see the smile of the two full of malice and excitement.
"I know what you two are thinking. And yeah . . . It's right."
"Ahhh! Oh, my . . . I'm sorry, Luna Bal. We got too happy for you and our Alpha. We can't wait to take good care of the Secluded pack's future little Cub." Bal almost choked with her saliva when she heard those words. 'No! I can't be a mother yet! I didn't even know how to be like a mother. I-I was just starting to find my character. What if my baby will suffer too? Just like what happened to me!" Her thoughts were killing her.
"Dear Luna? A-are you okay? I-i'm sorry. We're sorry for being insensitive," Lolitia said while tears fell from her eyes. Balvina was taken aback by Lolitia's sudden tears.
"I-it's okay, Lolitia. No need for you to cry. I was just not expecting it. But it's okay." She smiles and beckons the two to come near her.
"Would you two like to help me get up?" The girls look at each other and nod their heads in unison. Laleth quickly became her human cane, while Lolitia helped her with the thick quilt. Now, she had proven that the girls are physically strong. Balvina's body was fine. She was just experiencing lightheadedness. And she wanted to test the two girls if they could handle her weight. "Is the kingdom okay? I sense something is off . . ." she murmured, and subconsciously touched her mark. Balvina could feel a little burning sensation coming from it.
"Is your mark painful, Dear Luna?" She batted her lashes and looked at Laleth in confusion.
"How did you know, Laleth?"
"My friends were experiencing that kind of burning sensation when their mates were away or being agitated, Luna Bal. Oh!" Laleth covered her mouth when she realized what she just said.
"Kaylon is in danger?" She yelled and began looking around, aiming for something to wear so she could go and follow her mate.
"No. That's not what I mean, Dear Luna. Maybe the Alpha is just mad. And Alpha Kaylon often loses his temper whenever the problem is about our city wall."
"Can you tell me more about that while I'm having my quick bath?"
"I understand, Luna Bal."
After a moment. Balvina was now sitting on the beautiful chair again, inside the tub. She was quickly pouring herself with water, making the girls dumbfounded, and just stood in the corner while looking at her. It was like they were watching her every step which she finds impossible.
"Do you mean the wall which was located just near to that little volcano, Laleth?" She couldn't understand the sudden uneasiness of her body. Even Canary was telling her something was off.
"Absolutely, Luna Bal. Well . . . it's really quite a headache, especially . . . It's now exuding some disturbing smoke again," Lolitia added while preparing for her bath towel. Her mind wondered for a moment before picking her pace again.
"And Kaylon was now heading to that location?" Her heart was rapidly beating thinking that her mate is away.
"You don't have to worry about it, dear Luna. The Alpha used to do that before. He even visited the volcano before even though it's already on the verge of eruption. The volcano is very small too. There were also quite a few mountains overlooking the spot." Balvina heaved a deep sigh of relief when she heard Laleth's explanation. Well at least, she doesn't have to be over-paranoid anymore.
So Balvina stood up and was automatically covered by a bath towel. Her beautiful brown hair was now dripping causing it to acquire a temporary straight appearance. She stepped out of the tub and was now making her way back to her chamber. Her almost Goddess figure swayed with her alluring gorgeous hair.
"Laleth, Lolita. I want to look around the city and meet our people. Are you two willing to escort me?" Balvina awkwardly smiles. For she can already visualize the kind of gaze that she will receive when she goes outside. But she was determined. As a Luna, her responsibilities won't end in Kaylon's bed. She clearly knows that she has to take over her duty. She has studied it beforehand so it's no longer a big butt for her now. All she needs to do is to put what was written in those lessons into action. That was what she thought. As easy as that.
"You look gorgeous as always, dear Luna. Here, wear this beautiful necklace and ring to complement your unrivaled beauty," Lolitia showed her a beautiful pair of sparkling pieces of jewelry. Balvina admits that it looks dazzling and mesmerizing. But she was not going to meddle with her people just to show off. She will be meeting them to slowly win their trust. It doesn't matter if it will take her time. Her goal was to make her people safe whenever she was around.
"It's fine, Lolitia. I will only wear my ring." She lifted her hand, showing off her ring that signifies not just being the Luna, but also the queen of Secluded Pack's kingdom. She knows that wearing the ring is like fully embracing her duty as the queen.
"As you wished, Luna Bal." Laleth quickly runs to the huge door and knocks on it. In an instant, the two doors were now fully open. She could already see the long empty hallway.
"I can do this . . ." she mumbled. 'Canary? We're going to explore the palace and meet our people. Are you ready?'
'I was born a queen of the Matriarch in your vast, dark, and empty subconscious, Balvina! In short, I was born ready!'
'Yeah, I know. No need to elaborate. And please. . . help me act accordingly and appropriately.'
'Don't talk to me like you didn't betray me. You didn't even call my name in your blissful climax! Although I am with Stone . . . But still! You shouldn't have neglected me!' Balvina rolled her eyes feeling irritated.
'It's like I could say 'Canary! I'm going to cum!' she sarcastically said, which made her wolf look at her with a death glare.
'Yeah, you're right. Let's get going. I'm bored to death.'
"Luna Bal? Are you okay?"
"Oh! Yeah. I'm fine. Let's go." Balvina slightly patted her dress and began walking using Monta's signature walk.
