Filed To Story: The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert
Savvy was so comfortable in Kai’s arms as they were cuddling on the sofa with a laptop on a small nearby table. She couldn’t believe he was hiding that from her, and the moment she discovered it in one of the drawers, she went online to check what was happening at The Luna Trials.
“Why do you want to watch this?” he grunted.
“Because!” she scoffed and wriggled, getting even cozier against his warm body. “I am a part of it, remember?”
“Not anymore,” he growled softly into her ear and nibbled her earlobe. “The Luna Trials are over. I have my Luna with me already.”
“Well, the world isn’t aware yet!” she giggled and stretched her hand to click on the play b*tton.
The faces of Claude and Chloe wearing matching green suits made the princess frown. The twins were polished as always and ready to entertain whether people wanted it or not.
“Why were those two chosen to do this again?” She asked the King next to her as he lazily brushed her hair with his fingers.
“They are professionals,” he replied, and she snorted.
“Are they?” Savannah shot him a reproachful gaze. He had to know that they were biased at all times.
“They make any show a show,” Kai had to admit. “I think Elene wanted more publicity for this event and with the correct light on our family. We don’t do these things often, and it was one of a kind opportunity.”
“Maybe you should be doing it more often then?” The girl chuckled. “Gideon and ! hate interviews and public appearances, but we do it from time to time to let people see us and feel like they know us.”
“See,” he pulled her closer and k*issed the top of her head. “This is exactly why I need a Luna.”
“Oh, take Petra then. She will give you the show of your life every day!” Savvy mocked him, and he tickled her as punishment, making her giggle until she teared up and gave up.
“No, thanks,” the northern King grunted, bringing her back to her place next to him. “When I make my choice, it’s final. You are all I need.”
She hoped he would say that, and it was so satisfying to hear that again. Everything was so perfect lately that Savvy was afraid it was too perfect. Life had never been this colourful for her. She thought she was happy at some point in her life before Zack. She thought everything was over right after her disgusting mate ruined all her expectations about life and love. However, what was happening now was beyond her wildest dreams.
They were happy. Excessively, overwhelmingly, immensely happy. So happy that she couldn’t help but feel guilty to be this blissful every day. Kai may not have been her true mate, but he sure as hell made her feel loved, needed and safe.
“Three contenders face elimination today,” Chloe said in a serious tone, a corner of her l!ps curved slightly.
“Do you see her sneering?” Savannah furrowed her brows. “How does nobody notice that?”
“All right, all right,” Kai placed a gentle k*iss on her shoulder to make amends. “The twins are evil. Happy?”
“Meh,” she pretended not to care, and they kept watching the next round of the Eliminations. It was between Brigit, Petra and Mavis now. One had to go because the three of them had the lowest number of points.
“How are you not there again?” Savvy gave him a suspicious look. “Weren’t you supposed to save one?”
“I saved the only one I care about,” Kai grinned at her, and this time she was the one to peck his chin gently.
“But what about these three?”
“Elene will pick the one! “saved“, he said, and the princess exhaled sharply through her nostrils.
“Of course, she will….” Savvy sighed in annoyance, watching the northern princess sitting on a throne behind the contenders. She really got herself comfortable there in the absence of her brother.
“So,” Chloe tried to create as much suspense as possible. “The North has voted, and we have the results.”
“Keep in mind that every vote was carefully checked by Princess Elene’s team, so rigging was not possible,” Claude a*s*sured everyone with a dazzling smile.
Aloud snort escaped Savannah hearing all this, but she chose not to comment.
“Luckily for the three beautiful lad*ies here, just one is going to leave us tonight.” Chloe made a concerned face, and Savvy wanted to throw something at the screen. “Because King
Kai Fionnlagh decided to save one of the contenders, and I have her name right here.”
The woman paused, showing a silver envelope to the cameras and opening it slowly, reading the name, then gasping as if she was shocked and, after some time, facing the camera again.
“Come on!” Savvy growled. “It’s taking forever!”
Kai let out a low chuckle, pulling her closer and inhaling her scent. It was never enough, though.
“The contender saved by our King is none other than … Brigit Borg!” the presenter’s amused voice sounded, and Savannah’s l!ps parted.
“Well, I have to admit, this is unexpected,” Kai chuckled. “I was sure she’d save Petra.”
“The people of the North will save Petra,” Savvy pointed out. “She is one of you. Elene just made sure Brigit stayed. I wonder why….”
“She knows Brigit is not winning now that I have expressed who I want.” The King caressed her cheek gently. “Now that she isn’t a threat, Elene wants her in the finale to appease the white bears and show them there are no prejudices against them.”
“A bit too late for that!” A huff escaped the girl. “Maybe,” Kai hummed. “But it’s worth a try. Anything to avoid the war.”
Just one word almost ruined their mood. They already discussed it a few times, and Savvy told Kai everything that Bjorn told her and what they found out from Castiel and Roxy back in the day. Both of them knew that it didn’t look good.
They watched the vote results appearing on the screen in silence, and it wasn’t surprising that Petra won most of the votes.
She giggled and jumped on the spot in a silver frilly dress while Mavis took her loss gracefully and left the stage.
Kai leaned forward and slammed the laptop shut. “Enough of this,” he k*issed his woman’s forehead and started to get up. “What are you doing?” Savvy knitted her brows, eyeing him questioningly. “We need to get out,” he told her, stretching his hands to help her stand up.
“I thought that it wasn’t safe.” She reminded him of his words, but a knowing smirk on his l!ps told her that he might have exaggerated.
“It must be safer now,” Kai cleared his throat. “I mean … If we don’t go far and ….”
“I guess if we stay close enough, it’s going to be fine.” Savvy giggled and went for the wardrobe in the next room to find some weather-appropriate clothes for herself. She chose a pair of jeans, a men’s grey sweater with snow boots, and a warm jacket. When she was done, the Northern King was already waiting for her, dressed slightly lighter than she was. Perks of being a native here.
They walked out of their little house for the first time in days, and the sun, together with sparkling white snow, blinded them at first.
