Alpha Ryder didn’t wait long after our heavy conversation before summoning food. Perhaps he noticed the way my hands trembled slightly, or the way my eyes lingered too long on the table when the servants moved in and out. Whatever the reason, I was grateful. When the doors opened and trays were brought in, the scent alone made my mouth water embarrassingly. Warm bread, roasted meat glazed with herbs, bowls of soup steaming gently, fresh fruits glistening like jewels, and pastries dusted lightly

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter Eighty-Seven: Under Watching Eyes

    Celeste POVThe dinner had softened into something almost celebratory.The tension of the council sessions had dissolved into music, laughter, and the low murmur of alliances being gently reinforced over wine and shared stories. Couples were rising from their seats one by one, drifting toward the center of the hall where the orchestra had shifted into something slower, warmer.I sat back in my chair for a moment, simply watching.Janet was glowing.There was no other word for it.Her fingers were laced with Ryan’s beneath the table, and every now and then, he would lean closer to say something that made her laugh softly, her eyes lighting up in a way that would have been impossible just a week ago when we first saw her.I smiled to myself.She deserved that.She deserved someone who would choose her publicly and fiercely without hesitation.My gaze lingered on them longer than I realized.For a brief, unguarded second, something tugged at my chest.Not jealousy.Not quite regret.Just

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter Eighty-Six: The Quiet Between Then and Now

    Celeste POVThe room felt different after Janet left.Not empty—just… still.For a while I remained where she had hugged me, my hands resting loosely at my sides, my gaze drifting toward the mirror where she had stood moments earlier. I could still see the image of her in that royal blue dress, eyes shining in disbelief at her own reflection, as if she had only just begun to understand that she was allowed to be seen.It made something warm settle in my chest.Because I knew that feeling.I had lived the opposite of it for years.Slowly, I moved toward the window, the quiet of the chamber wrapping around me. The council complex beyond the glass was glowing with evening light, the distant sound of music drifting upward from the lower halls where the closing dinner had already begun.A life full of movement and power.So far removed from the place I had once called home.Blood Moon.The name rose in my mind like a shadow I had learned to step around.I hadn’t thought about it this deepl

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter Eighty-Five: Not done yet

    Janet’s POVWe weren’t done.Not even close.The bond thrummed between us like a living current—hot, electric, insatiable. Every heartbeat sent another pulse of his need straight into my veins, and mine answered right back, doubling the fire until I felt like I might combust.Ryan was still buried deep inside me, still hard, still throbbing even after he’d come so hard his whole body had shaken. His release coated us both, slick and warm, making every tiny shift of his hips feel obscene.He lifted his head from my neck, eyes still midnight-black, pupils blown so wide there was barely any iris left. His lips were swollen, glistening. A thin sheen of sweat clung to his brow, to the sharp line of his jaw.He looked feral.Beautiful.Mine.Without a word he rolled us—sudden, effortless—so I was straddling him. The movement drove him even deeper, hitting a spot that made stars explode behind my eyelids. I cried out, hands flying to his chest

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter Eighty-Four: The Bond Sealed

    Janet POVThose five words hit me like ice water and wildfire at the same time.“I want to mark you now.”My whole body went still against the wall, breath trapped in my lungs. Ryan’s eyes—those bottomless black pools—held mine without blinking, his wolf so close to the surface I could almost feel the beast pacing behind his ribs.A shiver raced down my spine. Not entirely fear. Not entirely anything I could name.“Are you sure?” The question slipped out, barely louder than a whisper. My voice trembled. My hands were still curled into his shirt, knuckles white.Ryan didn’t hesitate.“Never been more sure of anything in my life.”His voice was gravel and velvet, rough with need but steady with certainty. He leaned in slowly this time, giving me the space to pull away if I wanted to.I didn’t.Instead I tilted my head to the side, baring the vulnerable curve of my neck. The gesture felt huge. Final. Like handing over a piece of my soul I could never take back.Ryan exhaled sharply, a so

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter Eighty-Three: I want to mark you

    Janet’s POVThe moment Ryan’s fingers locked around my wrist, the entire banquet hall seemed to shrink into nothing. The music, the laughter, the clinking glasses—all of it faded until there was only the pounding of my heart and the heat of his skin against mine.He didn’t speak. He didn’t need to.We moved like we were being chased—half walking, half running—down the long corridor that led away from the glittering crowd. My heels clicked too loudly against the marble, my breath coming in short, sharp bursts. I could feel the eyes of a few curious pack members on us as we passed, but Ryan didn’t slow, didn’t look back. His grip was firm, possessive, trembling just enough to tell me he was holding himself together by a thread.The second the heavy door of his suite slammed shut behind us, the world narrowed to the space between our bodies.He spun me around and pressed me hard against the wall.Our mouths crashed together before I could even draw a full breath.It wasn’t gentle. It was

  • Barren Luna Returns with Triplets   Chapter Eighty-Two: Too Close to Breathe

    Janet POVThe moment we stepped into the grand dining hall, the sound hit me first.Music—soft and elegant—flowed through the air from the raised platform at the far end of the room where a small ensemble played under golden light. Conversations overlapped in a steady hum, punctuated by laughter and the clink of crystal against crystal. The entire hall shimmered with power and ceremony, long tables dressed in deep silks, banners of every major pack hanging from the high walls like silent witnesses to alliances that had been forged and broken a hundred times over.And I was walking into it on Ryan’s arm.Not as someone’s shadow.Not as someone waiting to be summoned.As his chosen mate.The awareness of that alone made my pulse race.“Breathe,” Ryan murmured beside me, so low no one else could hear.I hadn’t even realized I had stopped.“I am breathing,” I whispered back.He leaned closer slightly, his shoulder brushing mine. “No. You’re trying not to disappear.”I blinked.Because he
