"Luna Du Couteau A.K.A The Vicious Wolf"

Luna Du Couteau Snippet

MC's POV

Voices echoing on the walls and the smell of air pungent, making your nose twitch from the horrid smell. Walking the dark castle hallways, torches lined up on the walls, the chilling air enveloping you and making you shiver.

The eerie atmosphere making your stomach quezzy and vision spin. Stopping in front of a wooden door, legs becoming wobbly you leaned on the wall and drop down on the cold cobblestone, your back pressed to the wall.

Putting your hand in your pocket, feeling a small rectangular box and fishing it out. Gently opening the lid upwards, inside it's a lapiz dimaond ring, it's color like the sea. You know what your holding in your hand will decide yours and Luna's future.

Still concentrated on the ring, you heard the door open and see a person coming out. They are drying their face full of sweat with a towel, spotting you they stop drying their face and their eyes widening. "NO WAY!, IT'S REALLY YOU. they shout with excitement.

Standing on your feet and putting your finger in your mouth, trying to silence them. "Ssshhhhhh" you say firmly. The person putting their hand in their mouth and nodding their head. Putting your finger down and coming closer to them, this close you can see their atlethic body and smell the sweat in their body.

"Let me guess, your a fan? you whisper to them. The person dropping their hand from their mouth and putting it atop their eyebrows. "Yes sir!" they whisper and saluting you. Saluting them back, you asked them a question.

"Is Luna there?" you asked inquisitively in a low voice. The person looked at you with awe in their eyes, not believing that your here in front of them and talking with them in the flesh. "Yes sir! they whisper back.

"Is she alone?" you inquire them. The person looked at the door behind them and back to you, their finger raised and gesturing for you to come close. "No sir, she is currently sparring with someone." they say to you. Putting your hand on your chin. "I see!" you say, irriated by this intrusion.

The person sensing your ire, immediately pipe up. "Would you like me to get rid of them sir?" they asked you, waiting for your command. Looking at them and putting your hand on their shoulder, feeling their body tensed up.

"No need for that, I can handle this by my own." you say confidently at them. Removing your hand from their shoulder, you heard them asked you a question. "May I be bold sir? but what are you holding in your hand?" they asked you curiously, pointing to the object in your hand.

Looking down, you see that you are gripping the box tightly it's shape leaving a mark in your hand. "Well soldier, can you keep a secret? you asked them in a authoritive tone.

The person saluting you again and saying. "With my life, SIR" they say, emphasing your title. Putting the box in front of them, so that they can see it properly and pulling the lid upwards, revealing it's contents to them.

The person looked at the ring with admiration, still like a statue and mouth agape open. "Well, what do you think? you asked them worriedly. The person still looking at the ring and not answering you. With your other hand you, swipe it up and down in front of their face, still not receiving a response from them, you closed the box.

The person blinked their eyes rapidly, still dazed, you snapped your fingers together.

Hearing this, they snapped their head at you. "This is the most beautiful thing I have seen, sir." they say with awe and admiration. Their response, calming your nerves and your heart is beating back to normal. "Thank you for your kind words, soldier." you looked at them joyingly.

"Is it a gift sir?" they asked curiously. Looking at the wooden door, hearing the sound of grunts and wooden sticks being hit together.

"No, this right here is a wedding ring, my dear friend." you say, patting the box comfortingly. The person looked at you with happiness, overjoyed to hear this news. "Congratulations sir!" they say and patting your shoulder.

Looking at their hand and raising your eyebrow, seeing this, they quickly dropped their hand and apologizes. "I'm sorry sir, I have forgotten my place!" they say, bowing their head in shame.

Laughing at their meekness. "It's quite alright and I want to thank you for your support." you say to them comfortingly. Hearing this, the person tilt their head to look at you and breathing a sigh of relief.

"Nevertheless, I should be still respectful to my commander, may be in the battlefield or in the recreational area." they say chastising themselves.

Their body deflating a little, you heard them speak. "What can I do, to help sir?" they asked you, their hand placed in their left-chest.

Their willingness filled you with joy. "Well, can I asked you to not tell anyone about this and do not let anyone get near here! I want it to be a surprise." you say in a commanding tone.

The person bowing their head at your command. "Right away sir." they say determined in their task. Watching them walking towards the exit and passing you by, you heard them speak

. "Good luck sir!" they say supportingly and saluting you.

"Thank you soldier" you say with a crack in your voice, saluting them back. With that gesture, the person turn on their heels and resume walking towards the exit, their figure slowly being swallowed by the darkness. Setting your attention back at the door and clenching your hands tightly.

"Let's do this!" you shout in your mind resolutely. Putting your hand on the knob, turning it and pushing it open. Inside you see the training area is a mess, weapon equipment lying on the ground, exercise equipment in a pile of mess.

In the center of the room you see, Luna and Serena sparring with each other, their escrima sticks clashing with each other. Entering inside and stopping a safe distance from the fight, watching the combatants going out with each other.

Luna's POV

Hearing the sound of the door opening, you dind't mind it, focused on the fight in front of you. "C'mon Luna, let me hit you!" Serena grumbles, her sticks missing you. "Then hit me faster!" you shout, smirking at her. Attacking her with your own weapon.

Exchanging blows back and forth, it's sound echoing around the room, until Serena made a grievous mistake, looking at her foot, you noticed that is tilted to the side much more, knowing that one push it all that it takes and Serena will lose her balance.

Rushing her with a combination of left and right attacks and twirling your stick to make it harder to read. Plus using your knees to disrupt the positioning of her body, making her susceptible to falling.

Your attacks becoming more powerful and precise with each blow, you noticed that Serena is having a hard time to defend herself, before she was attacking you, now she switched on the defensive. "Luna calm down, jeez!" she says through clenched teeth.

Not listening to her, you did not relent and pushed your attack even futher, the advantage is in your side and you will not give Serena any more chance to fight back.

Clack…Clack…Clack, the sound of wooden sticks being hit together, reveberating around the room. Bloodlust becoming the driving force of your attacks, your assassin training kicking in.

"Do not let your enemy, have the foothold on you, if they are down on the ground." your master's teaching echoing in your mind.

Serena getting on one knee and raising her sticks abouve her head. "Luna stop, I yield!" she shouts pleadingly. With her pleading, you still keep striking her, hitting her sticks again and again. Until, you break through her defenses, her weapon clattering on the ground. "If they are down on the ground, you will STRIKE THEM DOWN" you repeat your master's words with finality. Raising your weapon high, determined to finish it and seeing the fear in Serena's eyes. Until you feel someone tackle you from behind.

MC's POV

Seeing Serena kneeling on the ground and Luna's weapon raised high, you know that this is not gonna end well. Starting to run and gaining speed, you barrel towards Luna both of you sliding on the ground and turning her around to face you, holding her arms and pinning her on the ground.

This close and Luna fighting in your hold, you can see the bloodlust in her eyes. This is not the Luna you know and loved, but her Vicious Wolf side manifesting.

"Luna it's me!" you say with a cracked voice. Luna looking at you with murder in her eyes and frantically eyes moving around, looking for a way to break from your hold. Seeing her like this, makes your heart ache, you looked at her lips and kissed her.

Feeling your skin touched with hers, at first her lips were hard and rejecting your love, then you feel her body deflate and reciprocate your kiss fiercely.

Breaking from the kiss and looking her down, you can see her eyes returning to normal, back to herself. In this position you couldn't help, but feel turned on, seeing her on the ground and pinning her hands down.

"Achem, would you guys get a room!" Serena says behind you and rising from her knees.

Dismounting off Luna and standing up, then proceeding to give Luna a lending hand and helping her get on her feet. You see Luna, rushing to Serena.

Luna's POV

Standing beside Serena, you inspect her if they sustained any wounds. Checking and patting parts of their body to check if something is broken. "I'm alright Luna, if it weren't for MC, I'm probably be lying unconscious on the ground," she says, brushing of your hands.

"I'm really sorry, Serena, I don't know what came over me." you say wistfully and looking at your hands. Serena putting her hand on your shoulder,

"Luna, it's alright, although try to play nice next time." she says smiling. Looking in her eyes, although she said this nicely, you can feel the edge in her words.

"Noted!" you reply back. MC making their way towards to the both of you. Both of you looked at MC, MC is fidgeting in their place anxiously. "See ya later Luna and it was nice meeting you MC!" Senna says, walking away from the both of you and waving her hand. "See you!" you shout back to her.

MC's POV

"You too, Serena, take care of yourself!" you shout to her, concerningly. Serena still waving her hand and walking forward, not giving the both of you a single glance. Setting your attention back to Luna, you can see her hands balled into fist and shaking angrily. "Hey, you alright moonpie? you ask her worriedly.

Luna looking you with anger in her eyes. "No, I'm not alright, I lost control, AGAIN!" she say emphazing the word again.

Seeing her like this, made you feel pity for her, sauntering towards and pulling her for a hug. Feeling her body tensed up and reluctantly hugging you back. "It's gonna be alright, I'm here for you." you say gently. Luna not speaking, hugged you even tighter.

Luna's POV

MC huggin you in their arms, brings you comfort and a sense of peace. Satisfied you let go of MC and give them some space. "So why are you hear?" you inquire MC.

MC becomming serious and looking at you with determination in their eyes. "I have to tell you something important Luna" they say with urgency in their tone.

Hearing MC call you by your name fills you with worry, they always call you moonpie. Not wanting to be surprised, you started guessing the possible outcomes that MC will say, at least in this way you're prepared.

"Let me guess your dying? you asked them. MC looked at you with shock. "What, I'm not dying Luna" they say.

"Oh I know! you want to fack tonight? you deadpan.

"No, Luna I do-, wait what did you say? MC asked and looking at you mouth open. Trying to maintain your stoic demeanor.

"You heard me!" you shout and crossing your arms together.

"No, Luna not that also, but we can do it after this." MC says suggestingly.

"Then you gonna leave for somebody new?" you asked with hardness in your tone. MC looked at you flabbergasted and putting their hand atop their chest.

"Moonpie, I will never leave you for someone else!" they say confidently. Sauntering towards them and leaning close to their ear. "Good, because if you do, I will hunt you down!" you whisper to their ear.

MC's POV

This close you can feel, the warmth of Luna's body on yours, gulping and stepping away from her. "No, it's much more important than that Luna." you say trying to comfort Luna, her eyes is filled with murderous intent.

"Good, now spit it out MC" Luna shouts, her patience waning. Sighing and getting on our knees, wanting to finish this once and for all.

" Luna, When I look into your eyes, I know I won't let go unless you do. When I look into your eyes you made me want to hope of better days to come. When I look into your eyes I realised I want to belong to you all my life, .but I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know in my heart that you are the only one for me." you say to her with all your heart.

Luna putting her hands on her mouth and covering it in surprise. "Luna, will you marry me?" you ask anxiously.

"I'm sorry I can't" Luna says turning around and started to cry.

Luna's POV

Turning around and tears started to flow on your tears, your heart shattered to a million pieces for rejecting MC's proposal. MC speaking behind you and putting their hand in your shoulder, turning you around to face them.

"It's alright moonpie" they say smiling, but with sadness in their eyes. Couldn't control yourself, you closed the distance and hugged them tightly. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry it's that I'm just afraid of hurting you!" you say sobbing with each word.

"I understand moonpie, but you didn't need to worry about that." they say hugging you closely to them. Tears started to flow down on MC's cheeks.

"It's just all my life is filled with strife and bloodshed, upon meeting you, you help me get back into the light and showing me that I'm still capable of being loved." you say hugging MC even tighter, afraid that they will be taken away from your arms.

MC' POV

Hearing her say this, filled you with sorrow, you know she told you about her past life, but you have no idea that she have carrying his much baggage.

Meeting her for the first time was the hardest part of your life, every time you try to interact with her, she shut you down and will just speak a few words to you and she will dismissed you.

But that didn't stop you from trying, as time goes by the ice around her heart started to crack.

Sometimes you hear her chuckling lowly from your joke and putting her stoic mask once again. Sometimes in your conversation she will tell you a little bit of her life and then she will be quiet all of the sudden and will turn the spotlight back to you, not getting a single word from her again.

Now, looking at the present on how you managed to capture her heart still alludes you.

Putting your hand on her cheeks and rubbing the tears of her eyes. "Luna, I really want to marry you, but if you need time, I will give all the time you need." you say to them gently.

"I know, I know it's just what if I lose control and accidentaly hurt you?" she ask you worriedly and not looking you in the eyes. Using your hand and putting it under her, turning her to face to your direction. "Let's worry about that when we crossed that bridge." you say confidently.

Luna's POV

Feeling the skin of MC's hand on your chin, feels you with peace and safety, that in their hands you know that they will fight for you and die for you. Getting their handand holding it in yours. "Then let's get married" you declare resoutely.

MC smilled at you with the biggest smile and kissed you. Kissing them back, but this time your kiss is filled with happiness and a sense of longing. "We cross that bridge when we get there." MC's voice echoing in your mind.

Breaking from the kiss and stepping away from them. "Now that were engaged, how about a friendly spar. you say and walking towards the training weapons.

"Hmmm, I think I'm a little worried how we will spend our honeymoon." MC says and walking towards you. Grabbing a staff and throwing it at MC and catching it deftly, you grab staff of your own. "

Let's worry about that when we crossed that bridge." you repeat back to them.

"Hahah, last wisest words." MC says, chuckling and twirling the staff in their hand.

"True, but the question is, who's last words is it?" you ask and walking towards the center of the mat. MC following suit, setting into a battle stance and you did the same.

"Let's find out shall we? they say, brows furrowed in concentration. "And we shall" you declare confidently, finger gesturing for them to come at you.

MC rushing you and their staff connecting with yours, the sound of wood hitting with each other echoing in the room.
