1. 62. Decades Old Past

MORGANA

My eyes blazed with anger as I spun towards Orrian, ready to unleash my wrath upon him. He raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms.

“I only stated the truth, Moonlight.” He said, looking into my eyes.

“Orrian… He marked me to save my life! And even if that wasn’t the reason, I would have wanted him to!” I said, glaring at the taller man, who was un-phased by my anger.

But that was Orrian, calm, collected, cold even… Too many. Yet he had lowered that wall form e, but when he was stuck on a way, he was as stubborn as an old man.

“I won’t understand why you would agree to something like that. Regardless of if it was your wish or not.” He said, his voice, as always, powerful and deep with that cold edge to it.

“Don’t be so stubborn or fixated on your thoughts, Orrian… I love Kian, a level of love that I have never felt before.” I said quietly, knowing that was a hard blow. “I love him more than I can ever explain to you. There is no life for me without him.”

But the look in Kian’s eyes… That guilt… I didn’t want it there.

*The Morgana I knew would never throw her life away for love.” He said, his eyes calculating.

I glared into his eyes, my chest heaving. “Throw my life away? HE is my life! And yes, I’m not the Morgana you knew long ago. This Morgana knows what she wants and has found where I belong! I found a love worth dying for! “I said dangerously.

My dark eyes met his icy grey ones, and like always, his were guarded. Orrian was the one person whose mind I was not able to penetrate. He was powerful, strong, and even now… parts of him were a mystery. Memories of long ago flashed through my mind as I thought back to the day we parted…

(Over Thirty Years Ago)

The sun had set and the crescent moon was glowing in the sky, making the sea sparkle like a thousand jewels. The sand beneath my feet was welcoming and soft. I leaned back against Orrian’s firm chest and closed my eyes, letting the coolness of the night blanket my skin. I wore a backless red silk dress that fell to my ankles with a slit from the thigh down.

“The night is so welcoming.” I murmured, sighing when his lips brushed up my neck, sending pleasure rushing through me.

“You are my light in the dark, my moonlight.” He whispered.

My heart clenched and I knew he was waiting for the answer… The answer to his proposal he

made a few days ago…

“I know your answer.” He said quietly, his voice like a whisper on the wind. It was almost as if he knew what ensued within my mind.

“I’m sorry, Orrian,” I said, slowly tugging out of his arms, turning to face him. “I know what being your queen will mean… To never step out of Elandort for my entire life.”

“Elandorr is huge Morgana, you won’t be stuck within the palace walls.” He said, reaching over and caressing my cheek.
