The Protected Luna

Voices In My Head.

I'm back everyone!!!

I'm sorry for dropping off the face of the Earth for so long. I know a lot of you were anxiously waiting for an update from The Protected Luna. I've seen the messages and I was so touched by your kind words. Unfortunately I was hit with writer's block and I had no idea how to start the next chapter. But luckily I was able to climb the twenty foot wall in front of me. Anyway instead of writing one chapter, here's a double update. I hope you guys enjoy it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Artemis

It's been two weeks since that ghastly experience at the cathedral and everyone was trying their best to forget what happened and focus on what's important: healing. Rupert was being investigated by the authorities for his crimes against me and Dimitri and his title as King of Romania had been temporarily revoked until further notice.

My mother was also being investigated, seeing as she was just as involved as Rupert. When Alec and Natalie found out they denied having known anything about this incident. Alec didn't even attempt to help her which shocked everyone, including Mother herself. She figured if not anyone else he would stand by her, him being her son and all. So you could imagine how enraged she was when he refused to help her prove her 'innocence'.

As for Marcus, he was sent to a special psychiatric facility in Bulgaria to help with his 'mental problems'. Several days ago he pleaded not guilty, utilizing the infamous insanity plea to avoid going to jail. It wasn't hard to do and considering how unstable he was at the time, the judge ruled in his favor.

Dimitri asked that a restraining order be put in place so that Marcus would stay away from me. The judge granted the restraining order and Marcus was told to stay away from me or face dire consequences otherwise.

Agatha and Agnis took Presha and her vampires back to Histria to be punished for what they've done. Presha lied about being sent from the coven to fulfill the prophecy, she tricked us into going to the three packs to take the amulets, she joined Rupert and the others in kidnapping, imprisoning and torturing me and Dimitri and she murdered several vampires from the coven.

Deidre, Uriel, Caspian and Cassandra went back to their packs, leaving me with the powers of their amulets. Of course it was never theirs to begin with. They were merely safeguarding the magic until the time came for me to fulfill the prophecy.

Seeing as how I already had the magic inside me two years too soon there wasn't anything anyone could do about it. And they couldn't remove it or I would die. I would simply have to learn to live with and control my newfound powers. That's why for the past few days I've been training with Dimitri, Bria, Alessandro,  Marguerite and Ramona to learn to control my powers.

The first day I had them I almost set the kitchen on fire. When I tried to fill some water from the sink the pipe exploded and water started gushing everywhere. To prevent something like that from happening again Dimitri thought it would be best if I started training with him and the others.

Every morning we'd go to the training grounds where Dimitri, Bria, Alessandro, Marguerite and Ramona would help train me. I did physical and mental training, flexibility and breathing exercises and I learnt how to keep my emotions under control. Twice I lost my temper and almost burnt everyone to a crisp.

Today's training session went unexpectedly well with no mishaps whatsoever. After coming back to the packhouse I showered and went downstairs to help get things ready for the Lunar Festival, held every year on the fifteenth of June to celebrate the day Selene  created us, her children.

The festival always began at seven o'clock and lasted until dawn. As the bull was sacred to Selene one would be sacrificed and offered up to her as a symbol of our devotion. The omegas would prepare a feast and the entire pack would eat outdoors under the light of the moon.
