FAT GIRLS can’t be LUNA The Name Caspian Feared
Mabella’s POV“His name is Aldric Crane,” Fred tells her the next morning, placing the file on the war room table. “Eleven years in governance. Clean record. Unremarkable by every measure.” A pause. “Until three months ago when someone started meeting with him privately.”I looked at the file, its edges worn from hasty handling. The war room smelled of strong coffee and old parchment, the long oak table scarred from years of strategy sessions. Sunlight filtered through narrow windows, casting sharp lines across the maps pinned to the walls. After yesterday’s verification, the pack should have felt victorious. Instead, this new thread pulled tighter around us.“Who,” I pressed, flipping open the folder. Neat columns of notes stared back at me—dates, locations, payments.“That’s what I’ve been working out since yesterday,” Fred told me carefully, leaning against the table with arms crossed. His eyes were tired but sharp, the loyal beta who never rested when threats lingered. “The meetin
FAT GIRLS can’t be LUNA When the Ruby Sang Twice
Mabella’s POV“Bring the Ruby,” I told Fred, standing at the front of the assembly hall with fourteen Alphas watching my every breath and the full Crest pack standing solid behind me. Aldric Crane sat three rows back, trying—and failing—to look unconcerned.Fred inclined his head and moved without hesitation, his broad shoulders cutting through the heavy silence that had already fallen over the hall. The kind of silence that made every heartbeat echo.Elder Bowen stepped forward, unrolling the formal scroll with practiced gravity. His voice echoed off the vaulted ceilings. “Under Provision 47 of the Unified Pack Charters, a formal challenge has been filed requiring independent bloodline verification before the coronation may proceed. The objector, pack governance member Aldric Crane—a council administrator of eleven years—asserts that recent irregularities surrounding Luna’s pregnancy and delivery warrant such confirmation.”I stood motionless, listening to every calculated word.

FAT GIRLS can’t be LUNA Just Us Before the Storm
Mabella’s POVTwo weeks before the coronation, the pack house felt like a pressure vessel on the verge of bursting. Every corridor hummed with tension. Messengers came and went at all hours. Serena drilled the ceremony guards until they moved like shadows. Fred looked like he hadn’t slept in days. And I carried the weight of the upcoming public verification in my bones even as I rocked Liora through yet another fussy evening.But tonight, finally, she had surrendered.I sat in the dimly lit sitting room attached to our chambers, the only light coming from a low-burning hearth and one enchanted lantern. Liora was asleep against my chest, her tiny body heavy with exhaustion after a long cluster-feed. Her breathing was soft and even, those perfect mismatched eyes closed in deep peace. The split-stone pendant from the mysterious gift lay warm against her little shirt.I should have put her down in the bassinet. I should have gone to bed. Instead, I stayed curled in the wide armchair, brea
FAT GIRLS can’t be LUNA Let Them Test My Blood
Mabella’s POV“The true heir cannot be installed while the Ruby of Binding remains unbound to its rightful blood purpose.”The words hung in the air like a challenge wrapped in ancient formality. I stared at the scroll in Fred’s hand, the black wax seal broken, the silver sigil of the Voss bloodline mocking me from the bottom. Elara Voss. The aunt who had appeared at the orange tree like a ghost, delivered my father’s documents and vanished again into the shadows. Now she was objecting to my coronation.Alfredo’s growl rumbled low beside me. “She helped us. She risked everything to bring the heir declaration. Why the hell would she do this?”Serena snatched the scroll from Fred and scanned it rapidly, her sharp eyes narrowing. “It’s properly filed. Sent through three neutral intermediaries and stamped by an independent arbiter. Legally binding enough to force a delay if we ignore it. Clever.”I took the document with steady hands, though my pulse thundered. Liora was sleeping in the n
FAT GIRLS can’t be LUNA The Ruby’s True Purpose
Alfredo’s POV“Do you think she was right?”Mabella’s question lingered in the quiet of our chambers as she held the photograph of Stella and her newborn like it was both a treasure and a wound. Liora slept soundly in the bassinet beside us, tiny chest rising and falling in perfect rhythm. Three weeks had passed since Collins Argent’s unexpected visit, and the weight of everything—legacy, bloodlines, the doubled mandate—had only grown heavier.I knelt in front of her, taking her hands in mine. “Yeah, Luna. I think Stella was right. You already changed everything. And Liora… she’s going to finish what you started.”Mabella gave me a tired but genuine smile, the silver bracelet from her mother glinting on her wrist. The first week after birth had been brutal, but she was healing stronger every day. Wolflina’s protective fire burned brighter in her eyes now. “Then we make sure the coronation reflects that. No half-measures.”The next three weeks became a storm of logistics and politics t
FAT GIRLS can’t be LUNA My Little Sun
Mabella’s POV“Let him in. But under guard. If he wants to meet her… he’ll do it on our terms.”The words left my mouth steady, but my pulse raced. Collins Argent. Alfredo’s father. The man whose absence had shaped so much of my mate’s hardened edges. I hadn’t expected him to show up on our doorstep barely a week after Liora’s birth, yet here we were.Alfredo’s jaw was granite. “Fred, escort him to the small receiving hall. No weapons. Two guards stay in the room at all times. Serena, you’re with us.” He turned to me, voice softening as he brushed a thumb across my cheek. “You don’t have to do this right now. You’re still healing.”“I do,” I said, shifting Liora against my shoulder. She was awake but calm for once, her mismatched eyes blinking slowly. “He’s her grandfather. And whatever history he has with you, with Stella… I need to see who he really is.”Serena nodded sharply, falling into step beside us as we made our way down. The corridor offerings had been cleared to one side, b
