The Vampire’s Luna: Hate Me, Save Me

“Are you kidding me?!” Erin’s voice rang out. “Are you fucking kidding me, Garrick?! I was with this son of a bitch!” she snapped. Garrick rose slowly to his feet, acting innocent. “Princess Erin—” His jaw tightened. “You are making a scene.”” A scene?” she repeated. “You asked for my sister’s hand in marriage, and I am making a scene?” Kyllian stepped down from the platform. “What are you saying, Erin?” he asked. Erin looked from her father to Garrick. Her mouth trembled. “I was with him! Talking about out future together!”” Okay, enough!” Kyllian barked. “We should discuss this somewhere else.” But Garrick stepped forward. “Your Majesty…” he said, voice heavy with wounded dignity. “I don’t think we should.” He placed one hand over his chest as if honour lived there. “Princess Erin has just slandered me in the presence of all the soldiers in the territory.”” Slandered you?” she breathed. “You son of a bitch!” Erin launched herself at him. She ran straight for him like a woman possessed by rage and madness. Her palm cracked across Garrick’s face. Erin hit him again, then shoved at his chest, then kicked his shin. Garrick stumbled back, raising his hands as if he were the victim of some tragic misunderstanding. She swung again. This time, Lyra descended from the platform with terrifying calm, crossed the space in a few long strides, and lifted Erin clean off her feet from behind. Erin kept kicking. “Put me down! Lyra, I swear—””Compose yourself, for goodness’ sake, Erin!”” Get away from me!” Erin spat, twisting against her sister’s grip. Lyra’s face burned with anger now. “What do you think you are doing, embarrassing Father like this?” Then Garrick spoke. “Princess Erin… I know you have had a crush on me for a long time. I tried not to encourage it. Truly, I did. I respect you deeply, Princess Erin. But I have always had eyes for your sister. I’m sorry if this hurts you,” Garrick finished. Another soldier nodded. “That’s true.” Then another.” He spoke of wanting to be worthy of the Crown Princess.” Erin looked at him and the man she had loved seemed to shift before her eyes.A climber.A strategist.A bastard.”You are one giant piece of shit,” she muttered.*****Princess Erin was born carrying the spirit of the Moon Goddess inside her.
