Lunessa's POV

Azrik was married?

Married? Not mated, not bound by fate, but by choice? And he didn’t think to tell me? A stranger had to be the one to drop that little bomb like it was casual gossip?

I blinked quickly, forcing my lips into a smile so tight it hurt. “Oh, of course I know about that,” I lied smoothly. “I’m just surprised you’re bringing her up.”

She gave me a pointed look. “Of course you do, everyone knows. I didn’t like her, personally. She was beautiful and elegant, yes, but never gave him a child, this city needs a Luna who can bear an heir to the last Lycan.”

There was a trace of irritation in her voice, like I was a prize, a vessel, not a person. And she said it with that sweet, polished tone that made my skin crawl.

I let out a hollow laugh. “Right.”

Her gaze slid over me like a critique. “I hope he didn’t decorate your chambers with pink and purple, that was her style. I wouldn’t want anything to remind us of her.”

I stiffened. My pulse pounded, my fingers twitch

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 42: Falling Into Roots

    Lunessa’s POVI walked through the night until my legs could barely carry me. My feet throbbed, every step away from him felt like I was peeling off a piece of myself.The veil that once hid my face now lay crumpled in my bag. I shifted into wolf form, and Due took the bag between her teeth, her silent presence grounding me as we moved through unfamiliar woods.By the time dawn broke, we had reached the outer edges of a small pack. Due shifted behind a cluster of trees, and I dressed in a plain simple gown from the bag, nothing that hinted at royalty or Lunahood.I wandered into the town’s open market and found a lonely bench near a bakery. I sat with my arms wrapped tightly around myself, the early morning chill sinking deep into my skin, right down to my soul.I hadn’t slept or cried. I just existed.By morning pack members began to emerge, traders, vendors, elders. I kept my head down, hugging myself tighter. I stood eventually and found a small grocery stall. With shaking hands, I

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 41: The Rejection I Never Saw Coming

    Azrik’s POVMy heartbeat thudded loud in my ears. I scanned the words once, then again, until they burned into me like acid.> You never loved me, AzrikYou loved the idea of me carrying your children more than you ever loved me. I was alone, when I needed you most. I'm done living such a pathetic life. I'm rejecting you, and severing every bond we ever had, don't come looking for me.—Lunessa.I stared at the paper, the ink smearing slightly under my grip.“Wait… I… I don’t understand,” I whispered, looking up at Draven.Draven lifted his hands slightly. “I didn’t read through the note. I just took it from Mira and came straight here.”I didn’t wait for more. I gave him the paper. I scrambled to find my trousers. I was shirtless, and barefoot, I didn’t care. I tore through the hallways like light. Within seconds, I was in her wing of the palace, my pulse thundering in my ears.Mira gasped when I stormed in, startled by the sight of me.“Where is she?” I demanded.Mira shook her head

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 40: Something In The Dark

    Azrik’s POVHe continued growling. ‘Dowen, what is it?’ I asked, irritation building.His voice came low. ‘I don’t know... but something is wrong. The energy around her is dark, Azrik.’I exhaled sharply. ‘Relax. You said you haven’t been feeling her wolf, maybe when we reconnect properly, you will. This distance has thrown us all off.’‘I’m not sure we're saying the same thing,’ Dowen murmured.I shook my head and dismissed the unease clawing at the edges of my mind. She was here with me, that was all that mattered. I opened the car door for her, like I always did, and drove us back to the palace.When we stepped into my sitting room, the moonlight spilling through the glass windows, I leaned in to kiss her.But before I could touch her, Dowen surged from inside me and threw my body back, hard. I slammed against the wall with a dull thud.She hurried to my side. “Are you okay?”I forced a smile. “Yes... I’m fine. Must’ve lost my footing.”But my hands trembled as I reached out again

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 39: Where Her Eyes Should Be

    Azrik’s POVFighting Royal Alpha Nick was far more brutal than I’d imagined. The bastard had laid traps at every corner and commanded a legion of allies who fought like men possessed. But in the end, I cornered him, stripped him of his arrogance and cleaved the life from his eyes.With his death, the alliance unraveled. His armies scattered like frightened crows, and the war that had dragged on far too long finally crumbled into silence.I should’ve felt victorious, and I did, until the hunger to see her overtook every other feeling. After two months away, my bones ached for Lunessa. The scent of her, the sound of her laughter, the warmth of her hand in mine. I abandoned protocol the moment I stepped through the palace gates and headed straight to her chambers.She was standing by the window, halfway dressed, her hair spilling down her back like liquid. I must’ve startled her, she turned abruptly, eyes wide with disbelief.“Azrik?” she whispered, breath catching in her throat.“Lune

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 38: The Exile I Didn't Deserve

    Lunessa's POV She walked past me like I didn’t exist, calm and collected.She moved to Azrik’s wine rack and poured herself a drink, completely unbothered, as though this was her home.I swallowed hard, my throat like glass. Arassac was the reverse of Cassara.“Cassara?” I croaked, my voice trembling with disbelief.She rolled her eyes and let out an exaggerated sigh. “Ugh. Finally.”Her voice held no shame, or guilt. Just the irritation of someone tired of pretending.“I… I don’t understand,” I whispered, holding back my tears.‘Let me out!’ Due roared inside me, her fury shaking the walls of my mind. ‘Let me out, I’ll shred her into pieces!’‘That won’t solve anything, Due,’ I replied, barely holding her back.‘But it’ll give me the satisfaction,” she growled.I took a shaky breath, forcing myself to stand tall. “If you're really Cassara why did you pretend to be my friend? What was the game?”She didn’t answer right away. She simply sipped her wine, and turned to face me, lounging

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 37: The Betrayal I Walked Into

    Lunessa's POV Before I could spiral further, I made a decision, I would confront him. But each time I tried, each time I pushed even gently, he would deflect.It was like he’d built a wall between us made of silence, and every time I tried to chip at it, he smiled and said nothing.With the full moon approaching, he busied himself with preparations. I watched from a distance as he poured his energy into the celebration, into appearances, into everything except me.He sent gifts, boxes of velvets, rare perfumes, handwritten letters laced with romantic words, but they felt cold. Like he was going through the motions of loving me without feeling it.I used to think I craved his presence. That if only he were here, the ache would ease, but even when he stood beside me, my senses felt dulled, as if the very bond that once electrified my soul had slipped into sleep.How long could I keep pretending?One quiet afternoon, I went to his palace office. He looked up from some documents, smiling
