Dante’s Pov

if she couldn't help us, what were we supposed to do now?

I just stood there, grappling with the consequences and disappointment of what my mother had just said.

I had really hoped she could find a way around the council, a way to protect Tamara without throwing her into the very fire she was meant to escape.

But now I could see it in her face—she was bound by the council’s rules as much as I was.

Just as I was about to resign myself to this disappointment, my mother surprised me with a look that held a flash of hope.

"Dante wait," she said as an idea formed in her mind . "There is still a way to save her, a way to make the elders submit to what you want them to do."

My head snapped up as a spark of hope lit in my chest. "What are you saying?"

Her gaze shifted to Tamara, standing silently at my side with worry and tension clear in her face.

“The investigation against Tamara is still ongoing,” my mother began carefully. “And if they find her guilty, the

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    The meeting

    3rd povElder Marcellus moved like a shadow under the pale glow of the moon, his heart hammering in his chest. Every step was calculated, silent, careful not to scrape a stone or knock over a stray object that might give him away. The corridors of the Lycan realm were quiet, save for the occasional distant snore or shuffle from a guard, but he knew better than to trust the night. Hector’s vigilance had tightened after Ivonne’s ordeal; guards patrolled more often, more strategically, and it made even a simple stroll treacherous.Marcellus’s palms were slick with sweat as he pressed himself against the cool stone walls, darting a glance down the hall. A guard’s shadow stretched across the corridor ahead.Damn it.He froze, holding his breath, and timed his movement with the guard’s passing. The sentry’s eyes scanned methodically, but Marcellus let his noble rank shine through—subtle gestures, a tilt of his head, a feigned calm. The guard hesitated, recognition flickering, and then with

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Respect

    IVONNE’S POVI woke to the soft morning light streaming through the palace windows, warm and golden, brushing over my face. My head rested on Hector’s chest, the rise and fall of him steady and comforting. I blinked a few times, trying to process the calm after the storm of the last few days.“Good morning,” Hector murmured, pressing a kiss to my temple. His voice was still thick with sleep and relief. “You finally decided to wake up.”I smiled, still groggy, and snuggled closer. “Morning… feels… good,” I mumbled, yawning.Before I could fully enjoy the quiet, a soft knock echoed from the door. Hector’s arms tightened around me, and he groaned. “Who could that be this early?”“Maybe it’s important,” I said, attempting to sit up.“Not so fast,” Hector said firmly, gently pushing me back against his chest. “You’re staying right here. I won’t let anyone see you half-asleep like this.”I huffed, feeling both annoyed and secretly grateful. “I’m fine! I can get up.”“Nope,” he replied, arms

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    End of peace

    IVONNE’S POVWhen it started getting dark, Hector led me back to the palace, and I couldn’t help but marvel at how different everything felt. Even though we’d been here before, today the place seemed warmer, softer somehow. The corridors were quiet, but the air hummed with… respect?We reached our room, and he ushered me inside. A light dinner had been prepared—bread, fruits, cheese, and some honeyed meat. It wasn’t fancy, but it looked inviting, and for the first time in what felt like ages, I didn’t care about appearances.As I stepped in, I noticed something odd. The Lycans—those who usually eyed me with suspicion or outright hostility—were bowing as we passed. Their expressions weren’t wary or jealous; they were smiling. Even a few bowed very low respectfully as if acknowledging something I had done.I stopped in my tracks, confused. “Hector… why are they… smiling at me? and Bowing so low?”He smiled, leaning down to kiss my forehead. “Stories of what you did have spread, Ivonne.

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Her peace

    IVONNE’S POVI slowly blinked awake, squinting as the morning light poured through the tall windows. The warmth of the sun hit my face, but it wasn’t the light that made me pause. It was the steady pressure of someone holding me—someone familiar.“Hector?” My voice was hoarse, barely above a whisper.“Morning, beautiful,” came the reply, low and teasing. I felt his lips brush mine in the softest of kisses, and then—he started kissing me all over. My hands, my cheeks, my lips. He was excited, full of energy, and every time his lips touched mine, a little thrill ran through my body.I sat up, blinking in shock. “Wait… wait a second.” I pulled back a little, my hands on his chest. “You’re… healed? Completely?”Hector grinned, running his hands through his hair. “Completely. Not a scratch, not a bruise. I was fully fine the moment you woke up. Don’t act like you didn’t miss me holding you all these days.”I shook my head, still stunned. “You’re… okay… really okay?”He cupped my face, lean

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    The original ivonne

    IVONNE’S POVI blink at the familiar voice as, the white haze around me dissolves like mist over a river at dawn.My body feels heavy, but not in the way of exhaustion. More like… weightless, like I’m floating in a dream. I turn, half-expecting to see Hector’s bloodied face—or someone, anyone i know—standing behind me.Instead, I freeze.Because A figure stands there. But its Not my mother. Not any other person I recognize. Instead, it’s me.Or at least, a version of me. But this version glows. Golden, ethereal clothes drape her like sunlight, shimmering with an energy I can’t describe. Her hair is the same as mine, but brighter, with strands that seem to move as if alive. And her eyes… silver. Pure, molten silver.I step back, wobbling. “Wha… what—who are you? Are… are you me?”She tilts her head, a smile that’s equal parts cruel and teasing curling her lips. “Who knows? Are you dead?”My stomach lurches. “Dead?!”She laughs, the sound ringing like wind chimes in a storm. “Relax, I’

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Penance, pain and sacrifice

    IVONNE’S POVAfter i volunteer myself, For a moment, nobody moves. The world is holding its breath, hanging on the edge of a knife. Then—A warm, trembling hand wraps around mine“Ivonne please— no.” Hector’s voice is shredded, like his throat is made of broken glass. He pulls, weak but desperate, trying to drag me back to him. “I won’t let you do this.”I glance down at him. His face is ashen, sweat beading at his temples, the stain of blood creeping through his shirt again where the wound refuses to seal. Viera and her brothers are still kneeling beside him, pouring faint blue light into his chest, trying to keep him conscious.I squeeze his fingers, not gently. “Your Majesty, let go.”“I can’t.” His voice breaks. “Please… don’t make me watch them hurt you. Not you.”“I’m not yours to protect,” I say, more sharply than I intend. “Not right now. This is my choice.”He tries to sit up. The moment his torso lifts, pain lances through him; he gasps and his body folds, the wound tearing
