Kharl POV

Kharl did not intend to watch her.

He told himself that as he took his seat along the curved edge of the council chamber, reports laid neatly before him, eyes fixed deliberately on the central platform where the next discussion would unfold. He told himself he was here as Blood Moon’s representative, not as a man haunted by a past he had no right to revisit.

But when Celeste stood, the room shifted.

Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just subtly, the way a space adjusts when someone with q

Odd he wasn’t curious or questions how Celeste had become part of Golden Sky pack or Ryan’s sister ?

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter 180: The Weight of What’s Coming

    Celeste POVRain poured heavily against the palace windows.The sound should have been comforting.Instead, it made me restless.I stood near the fireplace in my room, staring into the flames while the children slept nearby. The storm outside had lasted for hours now, dark clouds swallowing the moonlight completely. Every few minutes lightning flashed across the sky, followed by thunder strong enough to shake the windows slightly.Normally, Alora would have climbed into my lap complaining about the noise.Tonight, she slept curled tightly beside Amelia, one small hand still gripping the sleeve of Amelia’s nightdress like she was afraid the other girl would disappear if she let go.That alone made my chest ache.The kidnapping had changed all of them.Even the little things were different now.Rune checked the locks before bed without being asked.Blaze woke up twice from nightmares but pretended he only wanted water.Amelia apologized constantly for things that were not her fault.And

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter 179: The Man in the Shadows

    Markus POVThe abandoned church smelled like dust, rain, and old death.Perfect.I stood near the broken window, watching the storm gather outside while the weak candlelight behind me flickered against the cracked walls. The place had once belonged to humans decades ago before being left to rot deep inside neutral territory. Now it belonged to no one.Which made it useful.One of the men entered quietly behind me.“The outer paths are clear,” he reported. “No trackers.”I nodded once without turning.Kharl would search the forests first.Ryan would tighten borders.Ryder would look for patterns.Predictable men.Powerful.But predictable.That was why they kept surviving battles while still losing wars they didn’t even realize existed.“You’re bleeding again,” another voice said.I finally turned slightly.A woman stepped from the shadows carrying a medical kit. Tall. Calm. Dark eyes that missed very little.Selene.One of the few people I trusted enough to stand this close to me.“It

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter 177: Shadows Around the Palace

    Kharl POVThe palace no longer slept.Not really.Even when the halls grew quieter and the torches burned lower, tension still moved beneath everything like something alive. Warriors stood at every entrance now. Patrols rotated twice as often. The guards on the walls no longer spoke casually to each other during shifts.Everyone felt it.The crack Markus left behind.I stood on the upper balcony overlooking the training grounds, my arms folded tightly across my chest as the cold night wind hit my face. Below me, warriors moved in groups carrying lanterns and weapons, preparing to leave again for another search sweep through the outer forest lines.Still nothing.Hours had passed since Markus escaped.And still—Nothing.No fresh scent.No trail.No sighting.That bothered me more than I wanted to admit.Because men like Markus always left traces.Unless they planned not to.My jaw tightened.He planned this.Not just the escape.Everything.The hidden exits.The accomplices.The timin

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter 176: When the Walls Fail

    Third Person POV (Kharl / Celeste / Lydia)The alarm didn’t come softly.It tore through the palace like a wound reopening.First the horns.Then the shouts.Then the running.By the time the words reached the upper halls, they had already changed shape, spreading faster than truth ever could.“Security breach—”“The dungeon—”“Guards down—”“Markus—”Escaped.The word settled over the Pack like poison.Panic followed immediately.Not loud at first.But sharp.Controlled chaos.Warriors flooded the corridors, armor half-fastened, weapons already drawn, eyes scanning as if the enemy might still be inside the walls. Orders were shouted, repeated, contradicted, then corrected again as the chain of command tightened around the situation.No one slept after that.No one could.Because this wasn’t just a failure.It was a crack.And everyone could feel it.—Kharl stood in the center of the command hall, his presence alone enough to steady the chaos around him, even if it did nothing to qui

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter 175: The Night He Slipped Away

    Markus POVNight had always been my ally.Darkness does something to people. It slows them. Softens their focus. Makes them believe that what they cannot see does not exist.But men like me—We live in the dark.We breathe in it.We wait inside it.And tonight…The dark belonged to me again.I sat chained against the cold stone wall of the dungeon, my head slightly lowered, my breathing slow and controlled. To anyone watching, I looked like a man who had accepted his fate.Defeated.Contained.Broken.That illusion had been necessary.For hours now, I had played the role well.Silent.Unmoving.Watching.Listening.Counting.Every guard that passed.Every shift change.Every footstep that lingered longer than it should.Because no prison is perfect.And no Alpha—no matter how powerful—can watch everything at once.Especially when he believes the threat is already contained.A faint sound echoed through the corridor.Soft.Almost nothing.But I heard it.Of course I did.My lips curled

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter 174 – Flames Rekindled

    My head rested against his chest, the steady thump of his heart the only sound in the quiet room. No matter what happens… I won’t let anyone take them again. The thought anchored me, but so did the man holding me. Kharl’s arms were steel and velvet at once—strong enough to crush, gentle enough to heal. I breathed him in, pine and musk and the faint salt of the fear he’d finally let me see.He must have felt the shift in me, because his hand slid up my back, fingers threading into my hair. Slowly, he tilted my face up. Our eyes locked. No words. Just the raw, naked truth between us: we had almost lost everything tonight.Then he kissed me.It started soft—his lips brushing mine like a question, like he was still afraid I might vanish. But the moment I answered, pressing closer, the dam broke. The kiss deepened, turned hungry, desperate. His tongue swept in, claiming my mouth with a low groan that vibrated straight through me. I moaned into him, hands fisting in his shirt, pulling him h
