Eirlys POV

Rhydian's expression sharpened immediately. His eyes focused on me with full attention, all business now.

"When did it happen?" he asked.

"This afternoon."

"How long did it last this time?"

"Less than two minutes," I told him.

"Was there pain?" His voice stayed even but I could hear the concern underneath.

I nodded. "Yes. He cried afterward. It seemed to hurt him quite a bit."

"And afterward? How was he?"

"He slept for a while. He seemed very tired and worn out, like all his

  • Winning Back My Lost Luna!   Fifty.

    Kaelor POV: I woke before dawn, while the world outside still lay wrapped in quiet shadows. For a few peaceful seconds, I lay there staring up at the wooden beams of the cabin ceiling, simply listening to the soft rustle of the wind through the trees. Then a slow smile spread across my face.She had kissed me.Not because some old prophecy or pack duty pushed her into it. Not because anyone had told her she had to forgive me. She had chosen to. It was only one kiss, soft and careful, like she was testing the waters after so much pain. Yet somehow that single moment felt bigger than every hard-won victory I had claimed on any battlefield.A firm knock sounded at the door. Three solid raps. I knew exactly who it was."Come in," I called.Father stepped inside, filling the doorway with his broad frame. One look at my face and one of his thick eyebrows lifted."You're smiling," he said, his voice carrying that familiar mix of surprise and approval."I am," I replied, still grinning a li

  • Winning Back My Lost Luna!   Forty Nine.

    Eirlys POV: I couldn’t stop thinking about that almost-kiss. It stayed with me all day, the way the scent of lavender clings to freshly washed clothes. Close enough to remember every second. Impossible to forget.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Kaelor’s face under the soft glow of the lanterns. He hadn’t looked demanding. He hadn’t begged. He had simply waited for me, patient and steady, like he would wait forever if that was what I needed. I hated how that look had followed me all the way home. It made my chest feel too tight and my thoughts too loud.“You’ve added salt twice now,” Mrs. Elowen said, her voice warm with amusement.I blinked and looked down at the soup bubbling in the pot. “I have?”“You definitely have.” She chuckled softly and gently took the small sack of salt from my hands before I could ruin lunch for half the village. “You’ve been somewhere else all morning, child.”“I’ve been right here,” I said, trying to sound innocent.“Mhm.” She stirred the pot slowly, t

    Kaelor POV:I had forgotten just how warm her hand felt in mine.It was not that the memory had faded completely. No, it was that no memory could ever do justice to the real thing. The gentle pressure of her fingers, the softness of her skin, the way her touch seemed to steady something deep inside my chest that I had not even realized was still unsteady.The music floated lazily through the village square, slow and inviting, as we moved together in careful, slightly awkward circles. My steps were far from graceful, but I did not care. Not tonight."I warned you," I murmured, my voice low near her ear."You did," she replied softly, a hint of amusement coloring her words."I never learned properly." I said with a little chuckle. Eirlys glanced down at our feet, her lips twitching. "You've already stepped on me twice.""I thought it was only once," I said, pretending to be surprised."It was twice. You might be far terrible than I expected," she confirmed, her tone playful."I practic

    Eiryls POV:Halfway through the meal, Auren frowned at Alaric's plate. "You don't like carrots."The older Alpha paused mid-bite. "I've been discovered.""You've been hiding them under the potatoes," Auren said, sounding scandalized."I have," Alaric admitted.Auren shook his head. "Mama says carrots help you grow big and strong.""I fear that stage of my life has passed me by," Alaric replied dryly."It doesn't matter," Auren said firmly. Before anyone could stop him, he scooped every carrot from his grandfather's bowl onto his own plate. "There. Now you don't have to worry about them."Alaric stared at the empty spot on his plate. "So now you'll eat them for me?""I don't mind carrots," Auren said happily, already digging in.The older Alpha looked strangely moved, his expression softening in a way I rarely saw. "You've taken my vegetables.""I know.""...Why?""'Cause family shares," Auren said simply, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.The words settled over the tabl

    Eirlys POV:"I wasn't falling," I said quickly, brushing dirt from my skirt."You absolutely were," Kaelor replied, his voice warm with that quiet amusement I remembered too well."I merely lost my footing for a second. That's all."His eyes danced as he looked at me, the corners crinkling in a way that made my stomach do a little flip. "You fell very gracefully, though. Like you were trying to make it look intentional."I shot him a look, but I could feel my cheeks warming. "I was there, you know. I know what happened.""So was I," he said softly, matching my pace as we walked. "And I saw the whole thing."Auren walked happily between us, swinging our joined hands back and forth like it was the best game in the world. His little fingers gripped mine tightly, full of trust that made my heart ache in the best way."You were both there," he chimed in cheerfully, as if that settled everything.Neither of us had the courage to tell him that was exactly the problem. Four years apart, and n

    Kaelor's POV: Eirlys looked toward the empty training bench and nodded at it. "Sit." "I'll be fine." "Kael." The old name stopped me completely. It slipped out before she could catch it, and the moment it left her lips, her eyes widened. She realized what she'd said at the exact same moment I did. For a heartbeat, neither of us breathed. Her cheeks flushed a soft pink. "I... I meant..." "You don't have to explain," I said quietly. I sat down on the bench before she could argue again. She opened her satchel and began pulling out fresh bandages, a small jar of salve, and a clean cloth. Her movements were efficient, but I could see the way her fingers trembled just slightly. "You always ignore your injuries," she said, not looking at me yet. "Even when they're bad. Even when you know better." "I've improved." She raised one eyebrow, finally glancing up at me. The corner of her mouth twitched like she was trying not to smile. "I've improved a little," I amended. "Better." She
