Nyra's POV

Despite what I overheard, I did not storm in and tear Selene to shreds. Not yet. I held myself back. Barely.

Every word that slipped out of her mouth was like oil to the fire burning inside me, but I reminded myself why I came here in the first place: I came to check for threats, and not to get distracted by petty plots.

Not that her scheme was petty. I knew Selene well enough, had suffered enough of her manipulations, to know she was not all bark.

Behind her face of loyalty and falsification, lays the heart of someone who would burn down kingdoms to get what she wanted. The soft quickness in her voice could not mask the deadly intention behind her words.

She could be dangerous, and with the loyal dogs still sticking to her heels, waiting for her command like the obedient pawns they were, I needed to stay one step ahead.

To anticipate her next move before she even conceived it. But there would be time for that. A time when she would not see me coming, when her fake smile wo

    Seeds of DiscordNyra's POVThe air inside the grand hall felt thick, it was enough for someone to choke on. It was not from the incense burning inside the high silver bowls. It was Selene's voice. Her voice was sweet to only those that did not know better, but it was poison to those that knew better.She stood at the entrance of the room, she spread her hands out like a priestess giving a blessing, every part of her was glowing with smile certainty."I will not leave," she said, her voice was so clear that even the guards that were far away turned their heads. "Because I carry the heir to the throne. I am the true Luna. Not this pretender."Her eyes turned to me, her lips curved when she saw the heat flash in my eyes. The crowd murmured like water disturbed by a thrown stone. People in fancy clothes shifted and leaned on each other to whisper to themselves. Some wolves were shaking their heads like they could not believe what they were hearing, but others looked suddenly thoughtful,

    The Return of ShadowsDraven's POVNyra's footsteps sounded too hard like war drums, it pounded through the hallway even before I saw her. By the time she got to my office, the door was slammed back so hard on the wall that the dir frame shook.Her eyes were wild. Flames and storms at once. For a moment, I thought she might shift right here just to bite my head off."Is it true?" she demanded. No greeting. No warm-up. "Selene is coming back to Crescent Moon?"The air between us felt tight enough to snap. I leaned on my chair back, slowly and intentionally, to keep myself from reacting to her anger and my own. "That is what the reports say."Her hands settled down, and she placed them by her sides. "And you did not think to tell me?"I breathed out through my nose. "I was going to.""When? When she is already in my living room? When she is sitting on the Luna throne she never earned?" Her voice was sharp enough to cut glass."She is not going to sit on anything," I growled, my temper s

    Storms of DeceptionNyra's POV I did not sleep that night.I could not.Every time I close my eyes, I always hear Zaira's voice in my head. Not the same mocking laugh from the darkness, but a low whisper, as if she left some part of herself stuck in my mind just to remind me that she could reach me anytime she wanted. The words were not even clear half the time. Just pieces, threats, the echo of her command that made my skin crawl.Bring me the boy.Every time those four words played again in my mind, a sick weight pressed harder in my chest. My own will had been bent once already. The memory of it was like acid. How my body had moved without my permission, how my thoughts had been pushed aside like they meant nothing. If she could do it again... I did not want to think about what might happen. What if next time I can't fight back at all?So when the first light of dawn came into my room, I was already dressed and walking back and forth, my mind was running in wild loops. The floor c

    The Claimant QueenNyra’s POVI hadn’t even begun to think of a way out of the madness Zaira left me tangled in when the distant sound of footsteps and crunching gravel announced another intrusion. I barely had the strength to react. My chest still rose and fell too fast, my limbs too heavy, the aftershocks of the witch’s control still echoing in my bones.Auren was safe with Draven. That was all I could cling to right now.I was still standing in the clearing where Rowan and I once met, where I’d been dumped by Zaira’s spell, cold and alone and afraid, when a shrill, too-familiar voice rang out like claws across glass.“Nyra!” The name wasn’t a greeting. It was a challenge.I turned slowly, my fingers twitching at my sides, and saw her. Selene.She stood flanked by a group of wolves, none from Crescent Moon. These were unfamiliar. Lavishly dressed, heavily armed, and, from their scent, barely loyal. Hired warriors, most likely.But it wasn’t the troops that startled me most. It was

    Fractured ResolveNyra POVI did not cry.Not once.Not even when I came back to Crescent Moon in the dead of night, with my bare feet and my shaking body, my mouth was filled with the bitter taste of fear. Everything else hurts worse. I did not make a sound when I walked past the guards who nodded at me with confused looks, their faces showing questions they were too nice to ask. I did not blink when Draven stormed out of the front door like he had been waiting there the whole time, anger and relief spinning behind his eyes like twin storms.Nyra, where the hell have you been?I held up my hand before he could touch me. It was not anger. It was not hate. It was not even distrust.It was numb.The kind that sits in your bones when your mind cannot handle anymore. When feeling anything at all might break you completely.I am fine, I said.Fine? You have been missing for... His voice cracked, it was from the emotions he was not able to hold back. You vanished just like that, and you exp

    The Strange Voice Nyra's POVI woke up to laughter.Not just any kind of laughter. This one was deep and rough, moving like smoke through the shadows, pushing against my skin like hands I could not see. I sat straight up fast with a sharp gasp, my head was still hurting, even my arms and legs were shaking. The cold cave floor cut into my palms as I tried to stay steady. My eyes were looking everywhere in the dark to see signs of who was out there.But there was no face. Just the voice.A woman speaking.Mean, slow, too sure of herself to be normal.Who is there? My voice came out rough and broken, either from fear or how dry my throat felt. Show yourself!Nothing.Then, again, that laugh. She moved closer now, like she was walking in circles around me.I spun around, my heart was beating so hard, but I did not see anything other than the weak light of the single oil lamp that was still burning on the wall. Shadows went out long and bent. I could not really tell where the walls ended
