DRACO.

“We are better together. We could rule the forest and the faes.” He added. “Think about it! Power! I can give you more power!”

I could be furious knowing he might kill me off, but what triggered me was his blatant declaration that he was the right man for her.

Wrong move. Because that would never happen.

I growled as I made another leap in the air while ordering Iris’ force and her spikes not to hit me as I moved in the same direction as them.

And although I could feel her force and h

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 216 - Home

    PRINCESS CASSIOPEIA Soon to be Queen of the Wicker Forest.It felt like lightning struck me in the head and then the rest of my body but it didn’t hurt at all. Instead, I was cocooned in a comfortable embrace as the pixie dust of memories filled my mind. One by one, my memories returned from the moment I was able to see the Wicker Forest with my own eyes as a little fae—my first step, my first magic, and my first introduction to the Imperial Faes’ ways of living. Even without knowing who my mother was, laughter and love surrounded me while I was growing up. I never ran out of it. I had a good childhood.But everything shifted drastically over the last two decades. I saw greed growing in my father’s eyes. He kept telling me that his plans were for the betterment of the Wicker Forest, and I believed him.I didn’t know that the lectures I was given were no longer part of the regular school for Imperial Faes. I was being prepared for a war I had no clue was about to happen. At that

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 215 - Pixie

    IRIS. “Iris…” She turned to look at me again. “Mama…” “Tell me… Why could I do what I did? And why were you able to show me that thing in your hand?” She asked, and this time, I noticed that she hardly stuttered. And when I looked at her again, I noticed many other things. Her hair became longer and shinier, and her skin became clearer. The color had returned to her face and lips. Her cheeks, once hollowed out, were returning to normal, and her lashes were longer. She looked like someone who was made up for an event and not someone who was almost choked to death earlier by a Dark Fae.So I knew I could no longer delay letting her know everything because her body was slowly returning to her Dark Fae Form. “Mama…” I held her hands, covering the dark ink on her skin with my hands. “There are many things I will tell you, but first, I want you to retrieve that memory you’ve lost. The memory that Franco said you had lost in an accident.”“Will it tell me who my family is?” She asked.

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 214 - Successor to the Throne

    IRIS.I woke up and Mama was still asleep, which was nothing unusual. She let out a full magic earlier, so it had depleted her mana. The only reason I wasn’t worried was that she was breathing steadily and smiling in her sleep. She looked too relaxed for someone who just brutally decapitated a head. Dad was back at the forest where we left Eox’s body. He went back with Brute, so the Guardian could check if he was really dead. And that also eased my worries, because I felt like the Raiders would come and attack us if they hadn’t heard back from their king. But Brute told Dad and Draco while I was asleep that once the Dark Fae King dies, the whole Wicker Forest will feel it. And until the next ruler stepped up, they would not be allowed to leave the realm. And it resulted in Draco asking who was the rightful successor to the throne upon the king’s death.Brute said a dark vein mark would be passed on from one ruler to another. In Eox’s case, the person who stopped the beating of his

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 213 - A Mother's Wrath

    IRIS.I should have believed Draco when he told me there was no way Eox would leave the Orebrus unguarded, but the stubborn part of me was so sure Eox had no idea that I knew about the Orebrus. And it was too late to regret that because Eox already held my mother’s life in his hands.So, throughout the confrontation, I tried my best to remain calm, but the moment he tightened the vines around Mama’s neck, I lost it. Everything happened so fast after that. The next thing I knew, I was rolling on the ground with Draco’s beast protecting me. Draco also cut loose the thorny vines that Eox had wrapped around me. But instead of the vines dying or vanishing, they remained alive and were crawling back to Eox. The rolling eventually stopped and I immediately stood up with Draco’s wolf beside me.I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My mother, despite not remembering who she was, was letting out a power I had never seen from any dark fae before. Her vines were thicker and deadly-looking.

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 212 - Princess Cassiopeia

    DRACO.In seconds, I was pulled into a limbo. I already knew where she was taking me. Earlier, I sent people to locate Vaidas and Cassiopeia, and they found them in one of the streams inside the forest, which was twenty minutes away from our home. They were enjoying their picnic. There was no danger around them, so we just let them stay and continue with their day.My feet landed on the forest ground and I immediately let Iris stand on her own.“No!” Iris screamed as dried leaves rose from the ground, circling together with a big dust tornado. I couldn’t see anything, but I pulled Iris closer so her back rested against my torso, and I placed my arm over my forehead, trying to shield my eyes but still peeking enough to see my mate.“Calm down, Princess Diallica. So we can talk…” Eox’s voice boomed but I had no idea where he was. Iris’ chest heaved, but the dust tornado slowly vanished. I was finally able to see what made Iris scream.Vaidas was tied up around a tree, unconscious. H

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 211 - Dark Heart

    DRACO.“Do you know why you can’t manipulate the Orebrus?” I asked her.“What do you mean?”“Because your heart’s not into it. You want it to change a memory that you, yourself, could never let go.”Her eyes watered as she held on to my hand on her face. “My heart is turning black like Dark Faes. I have the desire to punish those who took my family away… But at the same time, I don’t want that to happen, Draco. I don’t know what I want or who I am anymore.”“Look at me, Little Bird.” I pulled our faces closer before I continued. “You are Iris. Not the Omega Iris. Not the Dark Fae Iris. You are my Iris. But like anyone in this world, regardless of species, you are capable of love and caring. But also of anger. Of frustrations. Of hatred. You are capable of thinking negative thoughts against other beings. But it doesn’t make you bad. As long as you don’t act on it and as long as you try to do the right thing, you will remain you. My Iris.”Her tears fell, and I wiped them with my thumbs

    IRIS’ POV.After we finished our tea, we decided to move and sit under a tree so we could find a more relaxing position. We had just sat down and were giggling as she shared stories of how she met Alpha Kael when they came back. I held my breath as I watched Draco walk toward me. He no longer had h

    IRIS' POV.“What were you planning to do with her then?” I was scowling, my chest heaving as I waited for his response. “I didn’t know. All I knew was that she was Kael’s, and anything that Kael had, I wanted away from him. But even before she could reach my territory, Adessa had already created h

    IRIS' POV.My morning began as wonderfully as how my night ended. I woke up with something pressing lightly on my left eye, and I began to scratch it. I heard Draco chuckling, making me realize that he was actually peppering kisses on my face. So my eyes snapped open at the sight of his handsome,

    IRIS' POV.The kiss deepened and Draco lifted me off the ground, wrapping my legs around his waist as he pressed my back against the lamp post. He was kissing me roughly while his groans and grunts filled my ears.“Draco… Someone might see us…” I said hoarsely, panting hard as I gripped his hair tig
