The Luna Trials by Marissa Gilbert novel Chapter 31

31. You Saw Nothing

Kyle knew what he had to do very well. He might have been the good guy who loved joking around and having fun, but at the same time, he came here with one purpose and one purpose only – to protect his best childhood friend at all costs. And this time blogging as the Truthteller wasn’t going to cut it.

He knew it the moment he saw that piece of garbage in the hall and had to pretend that nothing was happening. But the more he observed Zack Morgan, the faster he came to the realisation that he would have to deal with him personally. He had already seen his friend in the pit of despair, and he wasn’t going to let that traitor push her back again right when she started to

return to her usual self. It was surprising that the North influenced Savvy in such a way, but Kyle was ready to take it. Whatever made her happy. They grew up like siblings since their parents died at about the same time, and other than her, Reid and Gideon, Kyle had no one else.

It was easy to find Zack’s room. He already knew where the guest wing was, and from there, he relied on the asshole’s scent. The stench of revolting mint led him to the door, and he heard moans coming from the inside. He was doing it again. Even after seeing his mate tonight! Knowing what it would make her experience far too well.

Kyle’s fists clenched involuntarily as he heard a loud slap and more moaning.

“Yes, baby, like that!” Zack grunted on the other side of the door, and the next moment Kyle knocked the whole thing out with his foot. The girls in the room screamed and ran in opposite directions from the luxurious bed in the centre, leaving Zack alone with the one who didn’t manage to get away as he was still holding her hands crossed at her back and barely managed to

pull out.

“What the…” The werewolf didn’t even get a chance to finish his sentence as the lycan stormed his way and grabbed his throat, throwing him against the wall. He could hear the sound of a few bones crushing at impact, but it wasn’t even nearly enough.

Three girls. He planned to have sex with three girls tonight just to hurt Savvy. Kyle never had a mate, and he couldn’t even imagine what kind of pain that was. However, he heard some things. Muscles being torn from the bones, skin peeled, thick needles pierced into each inch again and again… Those were just a few comparisons that came to his mind now. And he wanted Zack Morgan to experience each of those. He got one of the best mates possible, and this was what he was doing to her. Unbelievable!

The rage went through every cell of the lycan’s body.

The girls hectically tried to gather their things and leave. They were all werewolves. Probably maids or someone of lower ranks. There was no way a lycaness would participate in something like this with a mere werewolf like Zack. Not thinking twice, Kyle closed the distance between the two of them and, lifting Zack up by his hair, started punching him again and again until his fist was properly bloodied.

The pathetic being tried to block a few punches and then tried kicking Kyle in the chest, probably to push him away. But the lycan only chuckled when he grabbed the prick’s fist and

There was no way a lycaness would participate in something like this with a mere werewolf like Zack. Not thinking twice, Kyle closed the distance between the two of them and, lifting Zack up by his hair, started punching him again and again until his fist was properly bloodied.

The pathetic being tried to block a few punches and then tried kicking Kyle in the chest, probably to push him away. But the lycan only chuckled when he grabbed the prick’s fist and

twisted it to ensure it was broken too. Zack’s painful groan sounded like music to his ears.

Another punch – and his lip was split, blood gathering in the corners of his mouth, One more – and the eye was so swollen. He probably couldn’t see with it anymore.

Kyle didn’t wish to stop. In fact, he wanted to continue until this man was erased from the face of the planet

It should have been Savvy’s kill, but something went wrong today and she didn’t finish him off. However, Kyle did not intend to let continue her suffering. She would forgive him sooner or later. She always did. But that piece of trash would be dead and wouldn’t be able to hurt her anymore

“Stop!” he heard a voice, and someone’s hand grabbed his. Yet Kyle didn’t plan to stop, so he just snapped his head to that person and snarled at… her.

Petra’s mentor, Evelynn, didn’t even flinch. Out of everyone in this castle, she was the last person he expected to see.

“Go away,” Kyle growled loudly, his wolf barely holding back. They both wanted Zack’s blood. All of it

Evelynn’s grip on him became tighter, and he felt her claws elongating, digging into his skin until it bled too. Surprisingly, that brought him back to his senses, and this time he furrowed his brows at her.

“Trust me, he deserves this!” The lycan clenched his lips.

“I have no doubt,” the she-wolf in front of him released him and fixed her perfect hairdo, her chocolate hair shining in the light of the candles in the room.

Candles! The asshole lit up candles for his fours*me!

One of the girls was ready to leave, but Evelynn turned to her and commanded, “Stay right there! Everyone!”

Surprisingly, all three she-wolves froze on the spot.

“Just pretend you didn’t see anything.” Kyle told her and turned back to Zack, ready to connect with his nose again. It still wasn’t broken, and this just wouldn’t do.

“if you kill him, your girl will be eliminated!” Evelynn said calmly and went to close the now crooked door. “If that’s what you want, then be my guest.”

Kyle wanted to crush the basterd’s skull; however, he knew very well that he couldn’t make such decisions on behalf of Savvy. She did not want to be eliminated. That was for sure.

His eyes locked with Zack and the werewolf smirked at him, “See, you can’t do anything, boy!”

This earned him yet another punch. Not a fatal one, but enough to knock a few teeth out of his mouth and send him to the floor where he belonged.

Kyle was breathing heavily, not knowing what to do now and how to calm his nerves. Luckily for him, Evelynn placed her delicate hand on his shoulder and gestured to the exit.

“Let’s go,” she said calmly, and he followed her. But the woman stopped at the door and turned to look at the three girls in the room. “No word of this to anyone. If you say anything, it will be your word against mine. And trust me, the King, the Princess and literally everyone else will believe me over you. That includes you too, Alpha. You are a stranger in the North. A stranger who

“Where are we going exactly?” she wondered and saw the corners of his lips curling into a smug smile.

“It’s a surprise!” he said as he brought her to a huge car next to the gates. This was already not what she expected at all.

Kai took the driver’s seat, and she was right next to him when they drove off. He was taking her to the mountains surrounding the castle. She always wondered what was up there.

Well, now she had a chance to see for herself.

The narrow icy serpentine roads made Savvy remember a few old prayers to the Moon Goddess, but the view of the castle, the small towns down below with their glimmering lights and the northern woods that stretched for miles and miles made up for pretty much everything. However, mostly it was thanks to the fact that he just came back from a battle and went straight to see her and take her to… Moon Goddess knows where. This was the most romantic thing that anyone had ever done for her,

Unless he was going to push her off that mountain, of course, but the pure excitement on his face told her it was nothing of the sort.

“Is it really safe for us to go outside alone again?” she asked and bit her lip at once, knowing that it was a sensitive topic for him.

“No worries,” he assured her with a chuckle, “every inch around the castle is heavily protected. My warriors are everywhere here. You will not see them, but they are close.”

“Nice to know,” she mumbled and looked at him apologetically. However, the Lycan King only placed his hand on top of hers and gave it a light squeeze. This little gesture of reassurance brought peace to her at once.

Soon the car stopped at a place Savvy would never have predicted it could stop. She looked out of the window again and realised that only two feet from the door of her car was a steep hill descending into the white mist. She couldn’t even see the ground behind the fog.

“Come this way,” Kai offered her a hand and helped her to get out through the driver’s seat, which she gladly accepted as she wasn’t a big fan of heights.

Savannah noticed that he took her into what looked like a cave. He had an old camping lantern in his arm, which he switched on almost immediately to illuminate their way.

Savvy gasped when she saw the cave’s walls covered with carvings. Intricate patterns revealed the pictures of wolves and people, lycans and bears, each chisel mark crisp and

well-formed. She quickly realised that they weren’t just images. They were stories and she had never seen anything like it.

But Kai ignored all that and kept walking, tugging her after himself. “Wait,” she tried to stop him. “What is this place? Is that… Fenrir?”

She pointed at an image of a huge wolf who was carved and then painted black all over. Next to him stood a woman in a beautiful dress, with a crescent in her hair.

“And is that the Moon Goddess?”

“That’s just some maiden,” the King stopped for a moment and then pointed at a picture of a woman with a crescent crown and on a throne, wearing armour and with a sword in her hand, “That is the Moon Goddess.”

“Huh,” Savvy stopped. “We paint her differently in the West.”

“Yeah, I know,” Kai snorted, finally making a stop and letting her admire the ancient art. “You paint her in pretty dresses.”

“You are saying that as if there is something wrong with that!” Savvy looked at him with a challenge, waiting for his answer.

“It’s just … she is the most powerful woman and goddess. We see her as a warrior deity. That’s all.”

“So?” Savannah let out a little laugh. “Do you think a pretty dress will suddenly make her less powerful or less of a warrior?”

“I feel like it’s a trick question and choose not to reply to that!” The Northern King made a wise choice and grasped the Princess’ hand again. “Come on! I don’t want us to miss it!”

They walked through a tunnel with carvings until Savvy saw a round opening in one of the walls. This one also went straight to the cliff, and she hoped that this wasn’t their final destination

The flicker of hope, however, was soon extinguished by Kai, who threw a blanket on the ground right next to the edge and placed the lantern nearby, gesturing for her to join him.

“Come, Savvy, it almost started.”
