Keira's POV

I lay on my thin mattress staring up at the cracked ceiling, my eyes burning with unshed tears. The moonlight filtering through the small barred window painted silver lines across my face, but its gentle glow brought me no comfort tonight.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it again – my shredded dress hanging like torn weeds, Alia’s smirk as I walked onto the stage barefoot, Kai’s cold empty eyes as he announced my last place. Shame curled deep in my stomach, heavy and sour. I pressed a fist against my chest, trying to ease the ache there, but it only made it worse.

Why did I even try? I thought bitterly, blinking back tears. I should have known better. Omegas don’t win. We just survive.

Nylo stirred from where he lay curled beside my cheek. He crawled onto my chest, his small furry body warm against my cold skin. “Kiki,” he whispered softly, his silver ears drooping. “Don’t cry, moonlight.”

“I’m not crying,” I lied in a trembling voice, wiping my cheeks quickly. “It’s j

    Keira's POV The sun rose blood red that morning. I watched it through the small window, my stomach twisted in tight, painful knots. Nylo sat in my hair, combing out the tangles with his tiny claws.“Another day, another trial to make you feel like a squashed beetle,” he grumbled. “Honestly, Kiki, let’s just run away. I know a hollow tree near the eastern border. We can live there. You can dance naked under the moon and I’ll catch bugs for dinner.”A small, tired laugh slipped out of me. Nylo said the most unhinged things. “Thank you, Nylo,” I whispered, “but I can’t leave. Not yet.”He huffed loudly, crawling down to sit on my shoulder. “Then don’t die today, okay? I forbid it.”When the announcement bell rang, we were gathered into the main courtyard where the three Alphas stood waiting. The other girls fluttered around like brightly coloured butterflies, batting their lashes and giggling nervously.“Today’s trial,” the instructor announced, “is one of emotional connection. Each Alp

    Kai's POVI kept my face blank as I stood before the crowd, announcing her rank.“Keira. Last place in today's trials.”The words left my mouth cold and sharp. I watched her flinch, just slightly, like a wounded deer trying not to show its pain. Something twisted painfully in my chest, deep and hot. My wolf growled low inside me, pacing restlessly.We hurt her. She sang. She was brave. She is ours.I clenched my jaw, shutting him out. She is nothing, I told myself. She cannot be ours. She can never be ours.I forced myself to look away from her teary eyes. I focused on the scores in my hand, scribbled in neat black ink. Her name sat at the bottom, circled twice.Good, I thought. She needs to remember her place. She needs to stay away from me.But my hands were trembling. I curled them into fists, willing them to still as the hall buzzed with whispers around me.“She deserves last place.”“Did you hear her song? Creepy.”“Ugly Omega should have just danced and saved us the trouble.”Ea

    Keira's POV I stood frozen on the stage as the judge’s cold voice boomed through the silent hall.“Keira, Omega class. Disqualified for talent breach. You will receive no points.”No points.The words echoed in my head like a death sentence. My knees trembled so badly I almost collapsed right there, but I forced myself to stand still, chin tucked down, eyes fixed on the polished stone floor. The humiliation burned hotter than any fever I’d ever had.I should have just danced, I thought, blinking away tears. Even if I looked foolish. Even if my dress was in rags…“Move aside, Omega,” the judge barked.I stepped down from the stage, my feet numb against the cold floor. As I walked past the waiting contestants, I felt their eyes on me – some filled with pity, others with mocking glee. The Omega failure. The maid who thought she could be Luna.I heard a soft tinkling laugh and my heart sank. Alia stood near the curtains, her golden gown glittering like sunlight on water. Her hair was pin

  • LUNA'S CURSE; Her Three Messiahs   Chapter 23

    Keira's POV I woke up before dawn, my heart thudding so hard I thought it would rip out of my chest. For a moment, I just lay there on my straw mattress, staring up at the cracked ceiling. My fingers curled into the rough blanket as I whispered to myself, Today… I’ll show them I’m worth something. “Kiki… you’re awake before the chickens again,” Nylo’s tiny voice came from beside my pillow. I turned my head to see his small wolf-fairy body curled up like a sleepy kitten. His silver fur shimmered under the moonstone lamp as he yawned dramatically. “Don’t tell me you’re nervous about these two-legged fools and their silly games.”I couldn’t help a tired smile. “Of course I’m nervous,” I whispered back. “This is the first time they’re letting an Omega perform on stage. If I mess up, they’ll use it against me forever.”I mean, the last time I danced, it was because the Alpha ordered. And it was just him. But this was different. Nylo hopped onto my shoulder, his small claws pricking my s

    “Move it, Omega!”I stumbled forward as the guard shoved me roughly into line with the other girls. The early morning air bit at my bare arms and legs. We were in the temple courtyard, a wide stone clearing with cold mist curling over the ground. My teeth chattered as I hugged myself.“Today’s trial is endurance,” the priestess announced, her voice echoing across the silent yard. “You will stand under the sacred waters and chant prayers to the Moon Goddess. If you falter, you fail.”My heart sank as I followed the line of trembling girls toward the towering fountain. Ice-cold water crashed down from its carved wolf mouth, forming a pool that steamed in the dawn air. I swallowed hard. There was no heat in that water. Only pain.One by one, the girls stepped under the stream. Some screamed from the shock, others clenched their teeth in silence. My turn came too quickly.“Go,” the priestess snapped.I stepped forward. The moment the water hit my skin, I thought I would die. It felt like
