Keira's POV

Nylo was chattering in my ear about river frogs again, his tiny voice muffled by the rush of water below us.

“…and then the fat one tried to eat a whole dragonfly. Can you imagine? I mean, I could do it, but I have teeth sharper than—”

I wasn’t listening. My mind was far away, lost in the cold ache wrapping around my chest. The water flowed fast and dark beneath the stone bridge where I stood, the breeze making my thin dress flap against my knees. The river always smelled of moss and wet earth, comforting in a way nothing else was here.

I closed my eyes, feeling the evening wind brush my face. For a moment, just a small, fleeting moment, I let myself imagine a world where I wasn’t fighting to survive. Where my songs weren’t mocked. Where someone loved me without shame.

Nylo tugged gently at a strand of my hair. “Kiki… you’re quiet. Are you thinking about food again? Because I swear, if we ever escape this place, I’m taking you to that human village with the meat pies—”

  • LUNA'S CURSE; Her Three Messiahs   Chapter 79

    POV: DaxIt was over.That’s what everyone kept saying.The war was done. The battlefield quiet. The screams gone. But none of it felt like peace.I stood near the crater where it all ended, wind biting through my torn sleeves. Smoke drifted up from the scorched ground, curling like ghosts over the broken earth. Somewhere under it all, her scent had vanished. No blood. No body. No trace.Keira was gone.I didn’t know if that meant she was dead. I couldn’t let myself believe that. But she wasn’t here. I’d seen the blast. I’d watched the light take her. I was screaming her name, running toward her with everything I had left. But it wasn’t enough.I didn’t reach her in time.And that wasn’t the only life lost.My father—our father—had fallen hours before Keira vanished. Our Alpha. Our anchor. The one we all thought would never fall. He died leading the charge, sword drawn, fury in his eyes. I didn’t even get to hold his hand before he hit the ground. He bled out alone in the mud, and I w

  • LUNA'S CURSE; Her Three Messiahs   Chapter 78

    POV: KeiraThat evening, everything felt different.Not better. Just clearer.I sat on a low rock near the stream that ran along the edge of camp. Moss covered the stone, and my boots were in the freezing water.The cold helped a little. My feet were sore. My ribs and arms were still bruised, but the fever I’d been fighting for days had finally broken earlier. I still felt tired, but my mind was sharper now—like a knife pulled out of the fire and left to cool.Nylo lay stretched out across my lap, warm and soft like a scarf. His eyes were half-closed, his tail twitching every now and then, like he could hear all the thoughts running through my head.Tia sat nearby, legs crossed, sharpening her blade. Her hand moved fast, almost angry. The metal made a scraping sound with every stroke. She hadn’t said a word all day, not since the drills ended and she collapsed against a post, staring at nothing.I didn’t blame her. This place was hard on everyone. It stripped you down and left you raw

  • LUNA'S CURSE; Her Three Messiahs   Chapter 77

    POV: KeiraI woke up to the sound of boots on gravel. The noise was sharp, scratching through the quiet of early morning. For a second, I thought I was dreaming.My head throbbed. My mouth felt dry. My body hurt like I’d been crushed by a huge rock. Every little move sent pain shooting through me. Nylo wasn’t on my shoulder anymore—maybe he had gone to find water. On the other side of the room, Tia was still asleep, curled up tight. Her face was wet with tears. She must’ve had a nightmare.I sat up slowly, and the bed creaked under me. Pain shot through my ribs, sharp and deep. I pressed my hand to my side and winced. Still cracked. Great.Outside, the morning drills had already started. I could hear people yelling and weapons clashing. Bodies hitting the ground. My heart sank. I wasn’t even sure I could stand, let alone fight again.But I would.I always did.I pulled on my boots with shaky hands. I still had a fever. My boots were stiff, covered in dried mud and blood. When I stepp

  • LUNA'S CURSE; Her Three Messiahs   Chapter 76

    POV: KadenThe stars were fading when I stepped onto the training grounds, their light swallowed by the creeping gray of dawn. Mist clung to the earth like breath held too long, curling around my boots and chilling the air. The cold bit against my skin, sharp and familiar, but I didn’t mind. I liked these quiet hours before the world woke. When everything was stripped bare, raw, and true.There was no pretending in silence.Just breathing. Existing.The soldiers were still asleep in the barracks, their snores muffled behind stone walls. The campfires had burned low, embers glowing like dying eyes in the dark, casting faint orange flickers across the dirt. The scent of ash and sweat lingered, heavy and real.I stood still, my cloak brushing my calves, and watched.From where I stood, her cot was a shadow beneath the overhang of the training quarters. A threadbare blanket was wrapped tightly around her curled

  • LUNA'S CURSE; Her Three Messiahs   Chapter 75

    POV: KeiraThe moon hung low behind a veil of thin clouds, its dull silver light seeping through the jagged cracks in the stone ceiling. The training quarters were quiet now, the kind of quiet that felt heavy, like it could crush you if you let it. The air was thick with the lingering stench of sweat, dust, and the faint metallic tang of blood. Somewhere in the dark, soldiers shifted on their cots—breathing, snoring, muttering in their sleep.I lay still on the thin, lumpy cot they’d given me, my arms pressed tightly against my bruised ribs. Everything hurt.My muscles trembled, not just from exhaustion but from the way they’d been pushed past their limit. My skin burned where it was scraped raw, the cuts on my knuckles stinging with every faint movement. My head pulsed, a dull throb that matched the rhythm of my heartbeat.And yet… I couldn’t sleep.Not yet.I turned my face toward the cold stone wall, letting out a slow, shaky breath. The ache wasn’t just in my body. It ran deeper,

  • LUNA'S CURSE; Her Three Messiahs   Chapter 74

    POV: KadenThe balcony stone was warm under my forearms as I leaned forward, eyes locked on the training grounds below. The sun burned high, relentless, casting harsh shadows across the dust-choked field. Heat shimmered in waves, but she didn’t falter.Keira.Small. Bruised. Bloodied.She moved like the pain was nothing. Like her body wasn’t screaming at her to stop. Her shirt clung to her skin, soaked with sweat. Her hands, raw and bleeding, trembled as she gripped the wooden sword. Her knees had buckled twice—maybe three times—since I’d started watching.But she didn’t stay down.Not once.She stood. Fought. Burned.Her form was sloppy, her footing unsteady, but those eyes… they blazed. Fierce. Unbroken. Even from up here, I could feel the heat of her defiance. She was a spark in a world that wanted to smother her.I tilted my head, lips curling into something like a smile. Not amusement. Not quite. It was… curiosity. Hunger, maybe. Pride.“What did those fools do,” I muttered under
