His Rogue Luna novel Chapter 69

It was a beautiful piece albeit a little odd.

"That's strange," Kieran muttered. I had to agree. I guess vampires had a neck fetish. Though to be fair, so did werewolves considering we bit each other's necks during mating.

Several guards greeted us at the doors and so did a guide. We were all escorted into the palace and I couldn't help admire the decorations.

It appeared that vampires preferred a dark and grand theme with touches of Victorian and gothic styles. All the art pieces in the halls either depicted a tragic moment in history, or were stoic portraits of people.

"They could use some colour in here," I heard Medea murmur. Viktor snorted in response. After walking down some more halls, we finally made it to a set of large golden double doors. The two guards stepped out to the front and each pushed open one heavy door.

Viktor stepped into the room first and bowed.

"The guests, Your Highness," With one hand, he gestured for us to enter and we did.

The room was large and sparse, with only two large thrones towards the back, on a raised platform. A man and a woman sat at the throne, the king and queen while the members of court stood around the space, lining up the sides of the room.

There were more faces than expected.

Nevertheless, I shrugged it off and held my head high.

"Your Highness, the witches of the Crescent Sisters. Head witch Seraphine, War Strategist Medea and Head Healer, Lilith," they each curtsied lightly and bowed their head as their names were said.

"Your Highness, Spirit Wolf Artemis and Alpha Kieran of the Phantom Pack," I curtsied too and Kieran bowed.

It was silent for a while as we had to wait for the king of queen to speak first. Both royals seemed to be assessing us. They each had glowing red eyes, an eye colour held only amongst royals. The queen had red hair that matched her eyes and fair skin. She looked absolutely regal on her throne, wearing a magnificent crown.

She was quite intimidating to look at.

I caught her eye and I held it. After a second I gave her a small respectful nod and moved my gaze away from her and onto the king.

The king was quite intimidating to look at too. Much like his wife, he too had an air of regality and dominance about him. He had fair hair and skin which only made the bright red of his eyes and cloak stand out even more.

He stood up abruptly and clasped his hands before him, suddenly smiling. The sudden change in disposition was almost startling.

"I am honoured to stand here and witness a unique moment in all of our histories: all three of our species joining forces," He held out his hand to which Viktor stepped up to give him the treaty.

He took it and opened the scroll to read it, his smile widening even further.
