Kharl POV

“Celeste?”

The name left my lips slowly, but the moment I said it—

Something shifted.

Not in front of me.

Not in the garden.

But inside my head.

A memory I hadn’t touched in years stirred, faint at first, like something buried too deep to reach easily. I frowned slightly, leaning back against the bench as I tried to grasp it.

“I…” I started, then stopped.

Ryder didn’t interrupt.

He didn’t push.

He just watched me.

And that gave the memory space to rise.

“I was young,” I said finally.

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter 137: The Dreams She Can’t Escape

    The door to my room clicked shut with a soft finality that should have brought relief. Instead, it only amplified the restless heat still simmering under my skin. The night had been too long, too charged. Kharl’s voice, seating close to him and perceiving his sweet scent stayed in my mind in a dream-like haze of memory, refused to fade. I kicked off my shoes, peeled away the dress that suddenly felt too tight, and slipped into bed wearing nothing but a thin silk slip.The sheets were cool against my overheated skin, but they did nothing to calm the ache low in my belly. I curled onto my side, hugging a pillow to my chest, and closed my eyes.Just sleep, I told myself. Tomorrow you go back to normal. Tomorrow this longing stops.But sleep came fast and treacherous.The dream pulled me under like warm honey.I was back in Kharl’s room, but the space felt different—darker, more intimate, the air thick with the scent of him: pine, musk, and raw male desire. Moonlight spilled through the w

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter 136: The Man She Won’t Forgive

    Celeste POVBy the time we got back to the palace, the sun was already beginning to set.The sky had that soft golden glow, the kind that made everything look peaceful even when it wasn’t. The drive back from the spa had been calmer than I expected. Alora had talked the entire way, still excited about everything she experienced, while Janet had slowly opened up a little more. Jasmine… well, she tried. I could see it. It wasn’t perfect, but it was something.And for now, something was enough.The moment we stepped out of the car, I didn’t even make it past the entrance before I heard them.“Mom!”Rune’s voice came first, loud and excited.Blaze followed right after him, his smaller frame running just as fast as his brother. Before I could react, both of them crashed into me, wrapping their arms around me tightly.I laughed softly, bending down to hold them.“I missed you too,” I said, pressing kisses to their heads.Blaze clung to me a little longer than usual, and I noticed it immedia

    Third Person POVThe moment the car carrying the women disappeared beyond the gates, the atmosphere in the palace shifted.Lighter in some ways.Heavier in others.The silence they left behind didn’t last long.Ryan stood in the courtyard with Kharl not too far from him, both men aware of each other without speaking. The tension between them had not faded since the breakfast table. If anything, it had only settled deeper, like something waiting for the right moment to rise again.“Training field,” Ryan said shortly, turning to the boys.Rune’s eyes lit up immediately.Blaze looked curious, still recovering but determined not to be left out.“We’re coming too?” Rune asked.Ryan nodded. “You’re part of this pack. You train.”That was all the encouragement Rune needed.Blaze followed closely, while Kharl’s men fell into formation behind them. Kharl himself moved with them, silent, observant, his presence as commanding as ever.The walk to the training field was filled with energy. Guards

    Celeste POVBy the time I got out of my room that morning, the palace was already awake.I could hear soft footsteps in the hallway, the distant clatter of dishes from the kitchen, and the faint hum of voices drifting through the air. It felt… normal. Too normal, considering everything that had happened in the past few days.For a brief moment, I stood still outside my door, taking a breath.Then I pushed the thoughts aside and made my way toward the children’s room.When I stepped inside, I paused.They were already ready.The nannies had done their job early. Rune and Blaze were dressed neatly, their hair combed, while Alora stood in front of the mirror, admiring herself with a proud little smile.I couldn’t help but smile.“Good morning, my babies,” I said softly.They turned immediately.“Mom!” Alora ran first, throwing herself into my arms.I caught her, laughing lightly as I kissed her cheek.Rune and Blaze followed, though slower.“Good morning,” Rune said, trying to sound seri

    Ryan POVSometime in the middle of the night, I woke up.At first, I didn’t know what had pulled me out of sleep. The room was quiet, the kind of silence that settles deep into the walls of a palace when everyone else is resting. No footsteps in the hallway. No distant voices. Just stillness.Then I felt it.Her.Janet was beside me, curled slightly into my side, her breathing slow and steady. One of her hands rested lightly against my chest, like she had reached for me in her sleep without even realizing it.I turned my head slightly to look at her.Even in the dim light, I could see her clearly.The softness of her face.The faint crease between her brows, like something was still bothering her even in her sleep.My chest tightened.She had smiled earlier.Tried to act like everything was fine.But I knew better.I raised my hand slowly and brushed a loose strand of hair away from her face. She stirred a little but didn’t wake.“You think I don’t see it,” I whispered softly, more to

    Ryan POVBy the time I returned to the palace, the sun was already high.The morning had been long. Longer than it should have been. Pack matters always had a way of stretching time, especially when my mind wasn’t fully in it.And today—It wasn’t.Not even close.Even while speaking, giving orders, listening to reports, part of me kept drifting back.To her. My lovely mate.To the way she had looked this morning. Quiet.Trying not to take up space. Dad and Jasmine didn’t help with the way they were cold to her too. I didn’t like it. I made a mental note to talk to both of themI pushed the door to my room open, expecting to see her sitting where I left her.But she wasn’t.For a brief second, my chest tightened.Then I saw her.On the bed.Asleep.Curled slightly to one side like she had just laid down without planning to.My expression softened immediately.I stepped inside quietly, closing the door behind me with care. The room felt calm. Still. Like nothing had happened.But the
