The sun was warm against Jace’s back as he stepped onto the training ground again, freshly bandaged but burning with anticipation. He hadn’t realized just how much he’d missed this—the crunch of boots against gravel, the whistle of arrows slicing the air, the sharp bark of instructors commanding form and focus.

He grinned.

“I’m back,” he muttered to himself.

Across the field, Rayne was in her stance already, eyes narrowed at the dummy in front of her. She moved fluidly, efficiently—like a blade in motion.

He jogged toward her, heart lifting. “Hey, warrior.”

She turned, startled for a second, then smiled softly. “Hey.”

He expected her to hug him or at least punch him in the arm like old times, but she only gave him a nod and turned back to her stance.

Odd.

Jace didn’t say anything at first. Maybe she was just focused. Or tired. Or…something.

But as the training dragged on, he noticed more.

Rayne barely looked at him during drills.

She didn’t joke with him like she used to.

And when he

    She went to his bed and woke him up“Rayne,” he said gently. “What's the problem?”She said nothing.Lucian sat up on his bed beside her, his fingers brushing against her clenched hands. “Rayne… talk to me. What’s going on?”She hesitated again.This wasn’t just her secret anymore—it was dangerous knowledge. Sharing it could put him in trouble too. If the Council found out he knew all along…But she couldn’t carry the weight alone. Not anymore.Rayne inhaled shakily and nodded.“I have to tell you something. It’s bad. And it’s about Xavier.”Lucian’s eyes hardened immediately. “What did he do?”Rayne looked at him, wide-eyed, and began.“He cornered me yesterday. He—he called me by my real name. Rayne. Not Rei. He knows I’m not a boy.”Lucian’s jaw tightened. Fury crept into every muscle of his body. “What?”“Jace told him, out of jealousy,” she continued quickly, “And he said if I don’t give him what he wants, he’ll report me to the council.”Lucian stood abruptly, pacing like a pred

  • Alpha's Hidden Luna   Chapter Forty Six: Midnight Shadow

    Rayne didn’t know how she made it through the day.She had few hours. Maybe less than she thought.Xavier hadn’t said where or when he would expose her. He didn’t need to. His threat echoed in her ears louder than any war drum.“Give me what I want, and I’ll keep your secret.”It was a cage. A cruel, calculated trap. And the worst part? He knew she couldn’t run to anyone—not Lucian, not the Council, not even Elias. Her secret was her undoing.She’d fought too hard to get into Blackmoon Academy.She couldn't lose everything.She wouldn't.----The sun was setting in streaks of deep crimson when Rayne finally sought him out.She found Xavier in the west tower courtyard, lounging like a king in the marble gazebo that overlooked the rest of the grounds. He always came here after training, where he could look down on the academy like he already ruled it.Rayne’s hands were shaking as she stepped into the circle of light.Xavier turned lazily, as if her presence was expected.“I have been w

    Rayne sat on her bed, knees tucked into her chest, staring blankly at the floor.Her disguise felt heavier now. Like a costume soaked in blood.She thought she could survive this. She thought no one would ever find out.She’d been so careful.But now Xavier knew.And the threat wasn’t just expulsion. It was violation. It was the kind of manipulation she had sworn she'd never fall victim to. He hadn’t just exposed her identity—he’d tried to take control of her body, her choices.And the most damning part?Her future was uncertain.Her disguise was gone.And someone… someone she trusted… had done this to her.Someone had told him.Someone close.Her heart clenched, a name rising unbidden in her mind.Jace.Aside Lucian, Jace was the only one who knew her secret.Could it have been him?He’d been acting strange all day. Distant. Moody. Secretive. Even.But no—he wouldn’t…Would he?A knock rattled the door.She looked up, fear blooming in her chest—but it was only Lucian, peeking through

    Jace couldn’t sleep.The moonlight spilled in pale streaks through the slats of his dormitory window, and yet the shadows inside him were deeper, darker, and louder than any night sky.Elias's voice echoed in his mind.“Rei and Lucian are lovers..”That one sentence had shattered something in him.She had chosen Lucian. Unequivocally. Willingly.And not just emotionally.Jace wasn’t a fool. He saw the way Lucian touched her sometimes, like it was a reflex—like her body belonged to him. He saw the lingering glances. The way Rayne would look up at him when she thought no one was watching, like she’d been claimed and was glad for it.And Lucian? He didn’t even try to hide it anymore.Jace gritted his teeth, sitting up in bed.He’d protected her since she came ito the Academy. As a teammate. A best friend. He'd taken blows for her during combat training. Covered her secret for her in several trials. He’d even cried when he thought she might die after some dangerous trials.And now?She ha

  • Alpha's Hidden Luna   Chapter Forty Three: Ashes Of Trust

    The morning after his forced interrogation, Jace Moren stepped onto the field with shoulders stiff and thoughts spiraling.His ribs ached, his pride bruised, but none of that compared to the burning ache in his chest—the fire of betrayal, confusion, and something far worse.Jealousy.He wasn’t even sure why. Maybe it was because he’d always felt like Rayne was his person. His teammate. His best friend. His anchor. And now, it was like she’d been swept into a different orbit—one ruled by someone like Lucian Wolfe.Someone with secrets.Someone dangerous.Jace didn’t know what he hated more—the idea of her being hurt by Lucian… or the possibility that she wasn’t, and that she’d chosen Lucian anyway. But she wouldn't open her secret to him. Or would she?He spotted her during sword practice, her form a blur of sharp precision and quiet grace. She didn’t falter once.Not even when he walked up to her.“Rayne,” he said, voice low, steady.She turned, breathless but calm. “Hey, Jace.”There
