Missing Luna

Blake, Maya and Luna returned to the palace and Blake could not stop staring daggers at maya who was lost in a little conversation with Luna,

“Why must she follow us to the palace?” Blake questioned with a frown on his face as Luna stopped turning quickly to his direction.

“And why won’t she? Can’t you see she was stranded on the road with no where to go!” Luna said while maya just chuckled to how they fought with each other continuously.

“You two should stop already! I won’t be staying too long here,I just need a place to stay till I get myself together.” Maya replied before walking ahead of the both of them.

“You must really be becoming a charity now, you are just paving way for strangers to freely roam in our territory and now the palace.” Blake whispered to Luna before also walking ahead as she stood there staring at both of them with a frown, she knew she wouldn’t be making any mistakes with maya but why does Blake keeps acting like she picked up a wanderer about to destroy her peace. She thought, unknown to her that everything she had just seen from maya was all staged as a way for her to enter the place and also gain Luna trust.

Later that night she return back to the spot of the incident and the man who Luna had seen him fought was in a perfectly good shape,

“You did a good job.” Maya said, throwing a few cash on the wolf who smiled while counting it.

“No, you did a perfectly good job maya, you were able to trick her into thinking you scattered me in pieces which wasn’t what exactly happened.” The wolf responded, pocketing the money as he walked away…the wide smile still on his face.

“Now phase one was successful, time to put in the next plan but Blake seems to be making everything go astray, I need to do something before he goes ahead and ruin it all.” Maya thought to herself as she walked back to the palace.

She silently entered the grand hall to admire the throne she was so thirsty of when she saw Luna sitting on it going through a few files, she was about to run back away but Luna had already seen her.

“You are still awake?” Luna questioned as she smiled awkwardly, waking up to the throne where Luna was seated going through the files scattered all around the table.

“Yes,I was searching around for you but couldn’t find you.” Maya said to Luna as she smiled to her excuse.

“That’s weird, I was also searching every corner for….I even sent my beta to find you but he said he couldn’t find you.” Luna said making maya heart immediately skip a beat.

“We must have missed each other while I searched for you too.”

“It’s fine Maya, whenever you don’t see me just be well aware that I am in the council room sorting out some political issues.”Luna replied still fully concentrated on what she was doing.

“Why can’t you leave the political part for Blake to take care of?” Maya asked making Luna chuckle,as she stared at maya.

“You are stranger here that’s why you don’t know much about me and Blake.” Luna mysteriously replied making maya frustrated as all she wanted was Luna trusting in her and telling her everything.

“You can still tell me, we are friends.” Maya said.

“I wasn’t planning on not telling you, everyone knows about why Blake can’t handle anything concerning the throne.” Luna replied, just then her beta walked in staring at maya weirdly.

“Are you Maya??” The beta asked.

“Yes….”

“But, but I saw you just few minutes ago coming out of the forest just after a wolf ran off.” Maya stared in shock at the beta and then Luna who now had a suspicious look.

“What were you doing there…”Luna got cut off short as Blake walked in.

“I guess she finally listened to my warning and decided to leave, why did you even return?” Blake asked Maya who immediately found a perfect excuse to cover up why she went back to the forest.

“I was scared I guess and I wouldn’t want to leave Luna and disappear after she did me a favor by helping me when I was in need.” Maya replied boldly, secretly also thankful to Blake for his hatred towards her as it had just helped her survive Luna suspicion.

“It’s fine Maya, go and take a rest now…including you Blake I still have a lot to do.” Luna said returning to her work as the beta also left before Blake pulled maya out of the room.

“Don’t ever make my sister worried about you, and you know very well this is why I would hate you more.” He whispered to Maya who just stared at him with a firm grin.

Luna was soon finished with signing some files and approving some of the pleas from the pack memebers when she stared at the time and it was already few minutes past midnight.

“I must have really lost track of time.” She murmured to herself before getting up from the throne, stretching her body but she still felt like her bones were stiff in ways she couldn’t express…she decided to take a stroll since that would be the only solution since the reason she had a stiff bone was because she was in one position for too long.

She stepped out the hall and from ther walked out of the palace gates without any of the guards seeing, she was curious to see the place where Maya had slaughtered a wolf juts hours back.

Blake returned to the council halls to tell Luna to postpone any signing till the next morning and go take a nap when he noticed the files were all arranged but Luna wasn’t anywhere there.

“Luna!!!” He yelled in fright,

“Where is Luna!!” He barged in furiously on maya who was about to sleep.
