He Called Me Barren Luna, But I Bore His Brother’s Heir

He Called Me Barren Luna, But I Bore His Brother’s Heir

For five years, Kiara has lived as the unwanted Luna of the pack. Her husband, Maelor , never loved her despite being her fated mate. He still keeps his former lover by his side, while Kiara is forced to endure the pack’s cruel whispers and the name that has followed her everywhere, barren Luna, Maelor, has given her one final chance. If she cannot give him an heir, he will send her away. Desperate to save the only marriage she has ever known, Kiara travels miles to obtain a rare fertility seed. On their fifth anniversary, she prepares a romantic dinner, hoping that finally having an heir will make Maelor see her differently. Instead, he arrives with his former lover and humiliates her. Heartbroken, Kiara takes the fertility seed and later finds herself overwhelmed by its effects. When a man enters her room that night, she believes it is Maelor finally returning to her. She gives herself to him, believing for one night that her husband has finally chosen her. But the next morning, she discovers that Rhaelor never entered her room. And then the impossible happens. Maelor , the rightful Alpha who disappeared during war years ago, returns to the pack. Calyra begins to remember the stranger from that night—the unfamiliar voice, the different scent, and the distinctive mark on his collarbone. Could the man she thought was her husband have actually been Cassian ? , Maelor’s own brother? When Kiara discovers she is pregnant, the pack that once called her barren is forced to look at her differently. But there is one problem. The heir growing inside her does not belong to the Alpha who rejected her. It belongs to the Alpha who has just returned to reclaim everything that was stolen from him,including his throne.

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT
Kiara's POVCassian did not drop his sword immediately. He stood motionless with the blade still raised, and the muscles in his jaw flexed as though he were grinding his teeth to dust, while Amelia's breath hitched against the knife at her throat."Let her go, Maelor," I said, and the trembling in my voice was not an act. "She has never harmed you, and you gain nothing by spilling the blood of a girl who has barely begun her life.""She is a traitor's daughter," Maelor said, "and the pack has already condemned her to execution, so I am only performing a small mercy by sparing her the long wait."Cassian's eyes locked on mine across the tunnel. In that single glance, I read a thousand unspoken things, an apology and a plea and a faint spark of something that looked almost like a plan, and then his gaze flicked toward the ceiling for the briefest instant before returning to Maelor."What do you want?" Cassian asked quietly. "You have a knife on a child, an army at your back, and a dunge

Chapter: Sixty Seven
Kiara's POVFor a heartbeat, nobody in the tunnel moved. The only sound was the crackling of torches and the heavy breathing of the soldiers, and I felt Amelia's fingers dig into my arm so hard that it hurt.Maelor stepped forward slowly, his boots splashing through a shallow puddle, and the light from the torches turned his face into a mask of triumph. He looked sober for the first time in weeks, and that made him far more frightening than the drunken fool I had faced in my bedroom that morning."Look at you both," he said, spreading his hands wide. "The traitor's wife and the traitor's daughter, creeping through the dark like rats, and thinking they could outsmart the Alpha of this pack with a single forged note.""We were led here by your councilman," Amelia snapped. "He told us that Cassian was waiting, and he drugged half the dungeon to make it look believable, so if there is anyone here who deserves to be called a rat, it stands right beside you."Maelor's smile faltered slightly

Chapter: Sixty Six
Kiara's POVFor several seconds, I could not make my mouth form a single word. Councilman Zek stood in the doorway of our cell with the torchlight carving deep shadows across his face, and he looked exactly the way he always looked, calm and respectable and faintly amused by the foolishness of everyone around him."Forgive the early hour, my Luna," he said, bowing his head slightly. "Prince Cassian told me to wait until midnight, but the guards are changing shifts sooner than we expected, and I could not risk leaving you here a moment longer.""Prince Cassian?" Amelia repeated, and her voice cracked with suspicion. "Nobody has called him a prince since he vanished, and he would never trust a councilman who sat quietly while the elders handed his throne to Maelor."Zek smiled gently. "He trusts me because I held his throne in my heart even when I could not hold it in my hands, and because I have spent two months quietly protecting the people he loves. Now come quickly, for the passage b

Chapter: Sixty Five
Kiara's POVThe iron cuffs on my wrists were so cold that they felt like they were burning through my skin, and the damp stone beneath me had soaked through my robe hours ago. I kept my back pressed against the wall of the cell, one hand resting on my belly, because the baby had been moving restlessly ever since the guards threw us inside.Amelia sat across from me with her knees pulled to her chest, and she had not looked at me once since the gates slammed shut. Her lip was split from where her face had struck the bars, and a thin line of dried blood ran down her chin."You can stop staring at me like that," she said without lifting her eyes. "I already know what you are going to say, and I do not want to hear another apology from the woman who ruined my life.""I am not going to apologize," I answered softly. "I am going to tell you something I should have said weeks ago, and you are going to listen until I finish, even if you hate every word."She finally turned her head, and the to

Chapter: Sixty Four
Kiara"Traitor?"Taken by surprise, I looked at Cassian, surprised by what he had just said, and judging by the exclamations of the people, I wasn't the only person stunned in the pack.He went on, moving around the podium."Every single one of you never partook in the war because everyone who left home to fight never came back, and till date, we mourn thousands of our soldiers who left to protect what was ours and got killed."More murmuring, rumbling, and screams. Then, when it settled, Cassian continued. I was still in awe.Betrayed?"As the commander who led the war, it was fortunate that I didn't die. The Goddess had given me the opportunity to come back and tell everyone here that there's still hope. Grieffully, we might never get what we wanted. We might never get our loved ones that were lost, but we will get justice by bringing out this traitor."I stared at him, clueless."As a prisoner held in the North..."

Chapter: Sixty Three
KiaraMy wolf burst right out and charged at him, forcing him out of the way and standing in the way so he wouldn't go after the girl again. Then I commanded more people into the room so they could come and help her out.A fleet of maids walked in. They carried the badly bruised woman out of the room."Maelor! You dare not attack my workers! You are not!" I yelled. He kept growling at me. His wolf moved around in circles, wanting to attack, but I stood my ground. I had never stood up to him the way I had just done, and I bet his crazy wolf wanted to scare me. He wanted me to tuck my tail and bow down to him, but I had no loyalty to him.Not in this moment.I bared my teeth at him, showing him I was ready to fight to the death. I might not win, but the Goddess had to kill me before I let him go without a bruise he would leave to remember.When he saw I wasn't going to fall back, he stood and then morphed back to his human self. He raised his hands up, then staggered backward. He had a

Captain Luna With The Cold Alpha

Captain Luna With The Cold Alpha

The Hockey Captain’s Contract with the Cold Alpha Sophie came to the settlement with one goal: win the final hockey match and return to the city with her team. She never expected to discover that the strange people around them were not ordinary villagers, or that the man who ruled the territory was a powerful Alpha. When a rogue attacks her team, Sophie learns the truth in the worst possible way. Her own boyfriend chooses to sacrifice her to save himself, leaving her at the mercy of a creature she cannot understand. Then Magnus arrives. Cold, feared, and completely in control, he saves her before the rogue can take her. But Magnus soon discovers something even more dangerous than the rogue. Sophie is his mate. The human hockey captain has no idea what the bond between them means, and Magnus has no intention of telling her yet. When Sophie insists on returning to the city, Magnus gives her a choice she cannot easily refuse: stay in his territory under a contract, or watch the hockey final disappear. Sophie agrees, believing she is only making a temporary deal with a cold Alpha. But Magnus knows there is much more at stake. Because the longer Sophie stays in his territory, the harder it becomes to hide the truth. She is his mate. And someone else may already know why she was brought into his pack.

Chapter: The Betrayal
CHAPTER FOURTHE BETRAYALSophie’s POVI left the pack healer’s palace with the contract still fresh in my mind.I had agreed to stay in this strange place for one month and become Magnus’s contract wife, something I still couldn’t believe I had actually agreed to. The entire situation felt ridiculous, but I kept reminding myself why I had done it.The hockey final.That was the only reason I needed to stay.I had promised my team that I would lead them through the championship, and I wasn’t going to let everything we had worked for disappear because of what had happened tonight.I had barely taken a few steps when Magnus’s voice stopped me.“The contract is ready.”I turned around and saw him standing near the entrance of the healer’s palace with a few sheets of paper in his hand.“What contract?”“The one you just agreed to.”He held it out to me.“You need to read it before you sign.”I took the papers from him and looked down at them.There were so many words that my head was alre

Chapter: What?
CHAPTER THREETHE CONTRACTSophie’s POVThe pack healer finished examining me, then stepped away from the bed after confirming what I had already known from the beginning. There was nothing wrong with me. I had a few marks on my clothes from being dragged through the forest, but I wasn’t injured, and there was no reason for me to remain there.I looked toward the man standing near the doorway.Magnus, he had barely spoken since bringing me to the healer, but his presence had been impossible to ignore. He stood there with his arms crossed over his chest, watching everything that happened as though he owned the room and everyone inside it.I was beginning to understand why everyone here seemed to obey him without question.I pushed myself off the bed.“I have been treated, and there is nothing wrong with me, so I can leave now.”Magnus didn’t move. “You can leave when I tell you that you can leave.”I stared at him. I had never met anyone who spoke with such certainty about controlling

Chapter: Stop It
CHAPTER TWOSHE’S MINEMagnus’s POVWe had been tracking the rogue for hours, moving through the forest as quietly as possible while following the trail he had left behind. He had crossed too far into our territory again, even after my men had warned him several times to stay away, and this time I had decided that I would not allow him to escape before I found out exactly what he was doing so close to the settlement.My men followed behind me, watching the trees and the ground for any sign that the rogue had changed direction. The forest was dark, and the moonlight barely reached the ground through the thick branches above us, but I knew these woods well enough to move through them without hesitation.The trail was fresh.Broken branches hung from the trees, leaves had been crushed under someone’s feet, and the smell of the rogue was getting stronger with every step.He was close, I could feel it.Unfortunately, there was something else I could feel too.My wolf had been restless for

Chapter: Familiar
CHAPTER ONESophie’s POVWe had been in the settlement for two days, and I still could not understand the place.The five of us had come from the city for the final hockey match, and the organizers had arranged for us to stay here while we trained with some of the local players and introduced the sport to them. It was supposed to be a simple trip, but since we arrived, I had noticed too many things that did not make sense.The final was being held in the settlement because the organizers had reached a special agreement with the people who controlled the territory. They had promised to provide the rink, accommodation, transportation, and security for all the teams, which was why we had been brought here instead of staying in the city.The people here called themselves a pack, and I had heard words like Alpha, Omega, and Lycan more than once. I had no idea what any of them meant, and whenever I tried to ask, I never got a proper answer.I was sitting outside the guesthouse with Rolan, m

Chapter: The Woman In The Portrait
Chapter TwentyThe Woman in the PortraitHazel's POVThe final fitting took longer than the first, mostly because the seamstress had decided the bodice needed adjusting twice more than she'd originally promised. I stood on the small platform while she circled me, pins between her teeth, muttering about seams I couldn't see anything wrong with."Almost finished," Mabel said from her chair near the window, offering me a small, encouraging smile.I nodded, though my arms had begun to ache from holding still, and let my eyes wander around the room instead of thinking too hard about the dress itself. That was how I noticed the portrait hanging above the mantle, one I hadn't paid attention to during my last visit.It showed a group of women from an older generation, dressed in the formal style the household still used for important gatherings. I recognized a much younger version of the current Alpha's late wife near the center, and beside her, slightly turned toward the artist, a woman I di

Chapter: The Name That Didn't Exist
Chapter NineteenThe Name That Didn't ExistAlan's POVCorbin lived at the edge of the pack lands, in a cottage surrounded by a garden he clearly spent most of his retirement tending. He was an older man, his back slightly bent from decades of service, and when he opened the door and saw me standing behind Desmond, he went pale enough that I thought he might refuse to let us in at all."Young Alpha." He bowed low. "I didn't expect you to come yourself.""Desmond said you wanted to speak to me directly," I said. "So I came."He hesitated, glancing between us, then stepped back to let us inside. His cottage was small and tidy, a fire already burning low in the hearth. He didn't offer us seats right away. He stood near the window instead, wringing his hands like a man trying to decide how much of himself he was willing to spend on the truth."I've kept quiet about that night for two years," he said finally. "I told myself it wasn't my place to question what happens among the family. A st

Chapter: The Keeper Of The Guest Wing
Chapter EighteenThe Keeper of the Guest WingAlan's POVI hadn't slept well since Desmond told me about the ring. I kept turning the same details over until they wore smooth in my mind and stopped meaning anything at all. A soft voice. A silver ring with a pale stone. A hand on my shoulder I'd spent two years assuming belonged to the woman I loved.Desmond found me in the study before I'd finished my first cup of coffee."There's something you should see," he said, closing the door behind him.He set a ledger on my desk, one of the household inventories kept by the steward's office. "This tracks who requested private deliveries to guest rooms during large gatherings. Wine, food, anything outside the standard service.""And the Hunter's Moon gathering is in here?""It is." He turned to a marked page. "Someone requested a bottle sent up separately that night, listed under 'special reserve, guest wing, east corridor.' No name attached to the request. Just a steward's initials confirming

Chapter: The Ring In The Drawer
Chapter SeventeenThe Ring in the DrawerHazel's POVMabel found me in the small sitting room off my bedroom, folding linens I didn't actually need to fold, the kind of task I gave my hands when my mind wouldn't settle."You don't have to do that," she said, setting down a tray of tea. "That's what I'm here for.""I don't mind." I set the last cloth aside. "It gives me something to do besides think."She poured two cups without asking, then sat across from me instead of leaving the way she usually did. "You've had a lot thrown at you these past weeks. It's no wonder your hands need something to hold on to.""Did you know my mother?" The question came out before I'd fully decided to ask it. "You've been here a long time."Something softened in her face. "I knew her a little. She used to bring you into the kitchen when you were small, before your father put a stop to it. Said a Gamma's daughter shouldn't be underfoot with the help." She smiled faintly. "You never seemed to mind the kitch

Chapter: The Wine That Wasn't His
Chapter SixteenThe Wine That Wasn't HisDesmond's POVThe servant records were kept in a small room off the west archive, ledgers dating back further than I had patience for. I found the guest list for the Hunter's Moon gathering within the hour, along with the staff assignments for that night.A young man named Teo had been listed among those serving the guest wing. I didn't recognize the name, which meant nothing on its own, but when I asked one of the senior stewards where he'd gone, the man frowned like he was trying to remember something he'd deliberately let himself forget."Teo," he said slowly. "He left not long after that gathering. A few weeks, maybe less.""Left on his own?""That's the odd part. He never said goodbye to anyone. One day he was carrying trays through the east hall, and the next his room was empty. Someone said he'd taken a position with a pack up north." He shook his head. "No one saw him pack. No one saw him go."That was enough to make me uneasy. People w

Chapter FifteenThe Woman Who Warned HerDesmond's POVRuth's hands had gone still in her lap, but her eyes stayed fixed on the window, as though she expected someone to be standing there."Tell me about her," I said gently. "Anything you remember. Even small things."She was quiet for a moment, gathering herself. "Her voice was soft. Educated. Not the kind of voice that belongs to a servant or a warrior's wife." She paused. "She wore something that smelled of jasmine. Strong enough that I noticed it before I noticed her face.""Did you see her face clearly?""It was dark. She stood just outside my door and never stepped into the light." Ruth shook her head. "But I remember her hands. She wore a ring on her right hand, silver, with a small stone I couldn't name in that light. Blue, maybe. Or gray."I kept my voice even, though something in my chest had gone tight. "When did she come to you?""Four days after the gathering. Before anyone outside the family knew what had happened betwee
