Adrian's POV:

I stared at my phone, the message from Xavier glaring at me from the screen.

"We need to talk. I have something to tell you about Kayla and the enemy hunting her. Meet me at the old clearing by the edge of the forest. Midnight. Alone." I rolled my eyes, the familiar sense of irritation crawling under my skin.

Why would he want to help me now? What the hell does he want? And why the hell did he want me alone?

I could feel my anger simmering, but I also knew this could be important.

Kayla was all that had been on my mind nonstop lately, and if Xavier thought he could help ... or use her against me… well, I wasn’t about to sit back and do nothing.

But the thought of meeting him alone? That didn’t sit well with me.

“You want me to go alone?” I muttered under my breath, more to myself than anyone else. I didn’t trust Xavier for a second, and I certainly wasn’t about to walk into a trap with just me and him. My first instinct was to call in my men, get backup, but some

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    The fire

    Adrian’s POVThe first thing I smelled when I turned the corner toward my wing wasn’t smoke—it was the sting of something acrid and wrong, thick in the air like poison. My gut clenched before my brain even caught up. Then I heard the shouting, the frantic footsteps, the rush of water being hauled in buckets and hoses them the extinguishers being sprayed. I moved faster until I got to the scene and my heart dropped. My room—our room—was blazing. Red hot flames licked out through the open door and windows, black smoke rolling into the hall, and a crowd of warriors, servants, and firefighters scrambled in chaos trying to fight the inferno. “What the hell happened?!” I roared, pushing through them, my chest constricting as the heat slapped me in the face. Logan spun toward me, his face pale, his hair damp from sweat. “Alpha—” “Where is she?” I grabbed him by the arm, shaking him so hard his teeth rattled. “Where’s my mate. Where's Kayla?” Logan’s eyes widened with panic. He shook

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    To love a Valkyrie

    Adrian's POVConnor had just informed us that King Konstantine was requesting our presence, and Ingrid had just convinced Kayla to eat a little of her meal so I moved to help her up.Helping Kayla out of bed these days had become something I did with more care than I ever imagined I was capable of. I slid an arm behind her back and another beneath her knees, steadying her as she shifted upright with that soft sigh of fatigue she’d been carrying for 2 weeks now. Her skin felt too fragile under my hands, and the weight of her was lighter than it should’ve been. It made my chest ache. Despite the growing baby in her womb, She’d lost some weight—too much of it. And I knew exactly why. Kayla had barely eaten these last two weeks. The stress of everything— Mia's revelations about her family's sacrifice, her nightmares, the weight of a power she never asked for—had carved the brightness out of her, replacing it with shadows. “Careful,” I murmured, tucking my arm more securely around her

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Secrets and Fires

    Ingrid's POVI really never expected to see that.Who could have imagined catching Logan and Candice—half-hidden near the side hallway, pressed together like teenagers who’d just discovered what lips were for.I blinked, frozen for all of two seconds, before instinct kicked in and I loudly cleared my throat.The reaction was priceless.Logan jumped back so fast he nearly tripped over his own boots, while Candice squeaked and slapped her hands over her face like she could hide the blush spreading all the way to her ears.“Oh my Moon—” Candice mumbled, looking everywhere but at us.Logan, on the other hand, tried to pull himself together, straightening his shirt like nothing happened. “We were just—”“—trying to devour each other?” Connor’s voice slid in smoothly from behind me, and I didn’t even have to look to know he was smirking.I glanced at him and discovered I was right. The corner of his mouth twitched upward as he addressed his friend. “This is quite an Interesting development,

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Ingrid's perspective

    Ingrid's POV The morning sun had barely peeked through the palace windows when I made my way to Luna Kayla’s room with a tray of breakfast. It had been two weeks since Mia’s revelation to Luna Kayla and the rest of us. Her revelation was one that had shaken everything we thought we knew about the Luna's future. Mia had said that Someone had to die to prevent Rogan from turning the Luna into a twisted force that would end up destroying everything and everyone she loved. Ever since that day, Luna Kayla had been quiet, distant and looking almost haunted. She moved like a ghost, and her eyes carried a weight that no one should have to bear. And Alpha Adrian… he hadn’t left her side for more than a few hours, even when duty called him elsewhere. I’d watched them like a hawk, worried for both of them, but knowing he was the only thing keeping her tethered to the present. I gently knocked on her door. “Luna? Breakfast is here.” There was no answer. My heart sank a little. Pus

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    A sacrifice against blood magic

    Kayla's POV “You mean…” I shook my head, refusing to believe it. “To stop his magic from hurting the people I love, Someone else has to die?” Mia nodded slowly and I felt my heart drop in despair. Adrian’s jaw clenched and I felt the tension radiating off him. “That’s not happening.” He snapped and I agreed. "Hold on Luna." Logan’s voice suddenly cut in with a harsh tone. “This could all be a lie. This woman could be trying to trick one of us into doing something stupid like killing ourselves for no good reason.” Ingrid aslso stepped up beside him with her eyes narrowed. “I agree with him Luna. Mia herself said she's been working for Rogan for years. For all we know, she’s still on his side and feeding us exactly what he wants us to hear.” Mia’s eyes instantly flashed with barely contained fury. “Dont be foolish! This is not a trick!” Her voice rose, raw with emotion. “How can I still be working with him when he tried to kill me huh?! I lost all loyalty to that beast the

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    A sacrifice for the greater good

    Kayla's POV"Rogan had decided that if he couldn't steal Kayla's powers or kill her off." Mia revealed, "Then he would turn Kayla so angry, so bitter and so full of hate, that she unconsciously destroys everything and everyone she loves. Until the only person she has left is him. Then he will have her. And from the look of things," Mia gestured at her bandages. "I think his plan is already working." I froze. “That means,” I added with my eyes locking on her's, “he could twist me enough to hurt my own child.” Mia looked away for a moment then murmured a quiet "Yes." That shook my world. The room seemed to tilt until My breath began to catch painfully in my throat. My heart was hammering, but my blood felt like it had stopped moving entirely. “No…” The word barely escaped my lips. “No, that—” “Luna Kayla?” Ingrid’s voice cut in with concern. She stepped toward me, but I instinctively backed away until Adrian held me. My legs felt like they didn’t belong to me anymore. “W
