Sprawled on a rough wooden bed with nothing but a frayed blanket. Her face was pale, contorted in pain, the cursed mark on her neck glowing angrily red. Her lips trembled. Sweat glistened on her brow. She looked fragile. Breakable. Beautiful.

By her side?

A tiny rabbit glaring at me like I kicked its grandma.

A cabbage in the corner literally hissed.

And—was that a tomato… crying?

I ignored them.

I crossed the room in two strides, dropped to my knees beside the bed.

“Kyla?” I whispered. My voice cracked. I hadn’t spoken her name aloud before, but it felt like it had always belonged to me.

“Kyla, look at me.”

I touched her hand. Ice cold.

My magic surged, golden light dancing from my palm to her skin, trying—desperately—to stabilize what the goddess had begun and the world had cursed.

“I’m here,” I whispered, fiercely now. “I found you. I’m not leaving.”

Please, I thought, pressing my forehead to her temple, don’t let it be too late.

The rabbit snorted beside me and muttered, “Took you

  • Queen Luna: Once Rejected, Now Ruthless   Chapter 85

    If there was even a sliver of a way back…My fingers dragged over one particularly ancient tome: bound in silver and wrapped in spell-locked chains. I whispered the unlocking spell, old enough that the air around me shimmered with pale blue glyphs.The book creaked open.“Chronos Binding,” I murmured. The title alone sent a chill down my spine.Inside were diagrams of realms overlapping each other like threads in a tapestry. Old Realm. Divine Plane. Mortal Realm. Abyssal Void.And there—tucked into a folded vellum page—was a note.Not a spell. A map.It showed the pillars. A location deep in the Skybound Forest where reality thinned.A possible rift origin point.I leaned back slowly, candlelight flickering against my skin.Outside, lightning crackled far in the distance. Not a storm. That was magic in the air.The rebellion was moving.But I had my own mission now:—Find the rift point.—Reclaim what was lost.—Make sure this realm didn’t fall like the New Realm had.I stood, gathere

  • Queen Luna: Once Rejected, Now Ruthless   Chapter 84

    The merchant scribbled frantically on a scroll as I listed ingredients:— Goats’ fat and hardened wax from magic bees.— Lye, harvested from burnt moon-wood ash.— Lavender and rosemary from floating gardens.— Mint and foxglove petals for scent.— Alkanet root for color.— Shimmering frost leaf—one of the few magical plants that produced bubbles naturally when mixed with water.“We’ll mix the fat and lye first,” I explained, pointing to a giant cauldron already in the center of the floor. “It’ll saponify. Then we add herbs, essential oils, frost leaf powder to make it lather.”“And… the shampoo?”“Similar,” I said. “But liquid form. Infused with silk seed oil for softness. Peppermint extract to soothe the scalp. Elven apple essence for scent.”The workers all gathered around me now. Wereman apprentices, elven scribes, humans in plain clothes.“Do not use too much frost leaf,” I warned. “Or it will burn the skin.”They listened. I showed them step by step: melting fat, stirring in ash

    “Trade routes. Defenses. Transportation. Communication systems. Structures. Medicine.” I flicked my fingers once, letting a silver thread of energy weave between them. “Things your magic doesn’t yet imagine.”Gold’s ears twitched approvingly.“Just give me your proposals,” I added. “A list of problems that need solutions.”I leaned back fully into my throne, voice dropping to its lowest, coldest note:“This realm… this kingdom… could fight the divine plane itself if we work together.”A long pause. And then, slowly, each person in the room knelt—one by one. First the merchant lords, their silken robes pooling on the marble. Then the guild leaders. Then the alphas. Even Nicholas, face pale from blood loss, dropped to one knee and bowed his head.“My queen,” he rasped quietly. “We will follow.”Serian watched them all with a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.“Good,” I said softly, voice like falling snow. “That settles it.”And just like that, I dismissed them with a flick

    I let it hang there a moment, my eyes tracing the lines of the council table. The memories that still flickered like shards of broken glass through my mind.A man’s face. A war I lost. A world I burned.But… I wasn’t that woman now. Not entirely.When I spoke, my voice was soft. Calm. But every ear turned. “The Moon Queen does not answer to dukes,” I said quietly, looking directly at Nicholas. “Nor to merchant guilds. Nor even to the Divine Realms.”His jaw tensed, just slightly.“I may not remember everything,” I continued, voice gaining strength, “but I remember this: I am the balance between realms. You do not argue over trade stones while shadows gather.”The lights in the ceiling flared suddenly brighter as if punctuating my words. Some of the nobles shifted uncomfortably. “Let me make myself clear,” I said. “The Old Realm’s strength is not in its stones, its borders, or its immortal years. It is in its unity. And unity begins here.”Khalisto’s dark eyes narrowed. But to my surpr

    I swallowed down the lump in my throat as Serian slowed, his expression unreadable.It was Serian who finally broke the silence.“This place waited for you,” he said quietly, hands clasped behind his back. “For millennia.”My voice came rough, softer than I meant.“What happened when I slept?”He didn’t hesitate.“You destroyed the New Realm. The one where you lived before. The one where you had...” His jaw flexed slightly. “Where you had people you cared for.”I stopped walking. My fingers curled into fists.Serian turned to me, his gaze like molten amber in the light.“You lost control, my lady. That’s why your body returned here. Your soul burned everything until the only thing left was this place. Your origin. Your resting ground.”I didn’t want to believe it.But the ache in my chest told me it was true.I remembered—The storm.The light.A man’s face.The faces of the children.“Everyone...” I breathed, voice breaking. “Everyone I loved...”Serian didn’t reach for me. But he di

    “What? You forgot? I am your guardian.”“Who?” The rabbit rolled its eyes. “I am Gold. You named me.”Ahhh!Well…why does it feel like I wanted to cry?But…This world wasn’t made for tears.But I did breathe. For the first time in what felt like lifetimes.And I listened. To the magic. To the wind. To the power singing in my veins.Because this place…was familiar…but something was missing. I know. But it feels like the beginning of something. Before the world that I broke. Before the throne. Before love. Before him.…him?Who?I looked around, I know this place.This was the Old Realm.Where I was born. No…created. Where I was feared. Where even the gods once whispered my name like a warning.The Moon Queen.And now, I had returned— Not to rule. Not to conquer. But to remember who I was?…before I became a weapon?And maybe—just maybe— To find out if I could become something more?Not a curse. Not a queen. But something new? Because somewhere, far away from this realm, a world I o
