Few days later.

So there we were. Morning number… what? Three? Four?

Time in the cursed forest had the same logic as my hair before coffee: nonexistent and defying gravity.

Anyway, we started the day like we always did now—me, in my oversized hoodie-dress-thing, stirring a battered pot of vegetable stew, muttering to myself and dodging sass from every sentient thing in the house.

King Edric? He was sitting by the rickety wooden table, shirtless again, legs spread like he owned the continent (which he technically did, so I couldn’t even argue), golden gaze watching me like I was breakfast.

“Don’t stare at me like that,” I mumbled, stirring aggressively. “I don’t have bacon.”

He shrugged. “I could eat anything.”

“Oh?”

“As long as you made it.”

I blinked.

The sass in my bones loaded like a weapon. “Don’t get romantic with your royal abs in my poverty stew kitchen, Your Majesty.”

He grinned—that slow, wolfish, cheekbone-flexing grin that could cause birthrates to spike—and leaned on the t

  • Queen Luna: Once Rejected, Now Ruthless   Chapter 28

    ALRIAN’S POVLocation: Windsor Pack – Once Proud, Now CrumblingI stood at the center of the Windsor Pack house, the air thick with the sour scent of fear, defeat… and something worse.Grief. But not the soft, delicate kind.No.This grief burned.Mourning twisted into fury inside my chest like molten metal. My fists clenched until blood slipped between my fingers, the floor beneath me groaning from the weight of my aura. The Pack Elders stood to the side, silent, trembling like aged leaves before winter. They didn’t dare meet my eyes. They didn’t need to.They knew.My father—our Alpha—was dead.Not by war. Not in battle.But by a single breath. A single growl. A single flick of royal wrath from the so-called Alpha King.Because of her.Kyla Black.Once wolfless. Once my rejected mate. Now the crowned Luna Queen of the entire Southern Kingdom. Her magic echoed across kingdoms. Her power soared like a phoenix reborn. And she looked down at us from her silken throne while we—her former

  • Queen Luna: Once Rejected, Now Ruthless   Chapter 27

    IN MY SUITE, STILL SPARKING WITH RAGE AND COFFEE-FUELED NERVESI stormed into the living room of my suite like a thundercloud in heels.My red velvet gown flared behind me like the cape of a slightly unhinged superhero, and honestly? I looked fabulous while internally combusting.Nerves? Shredded.Heart? Slamming like war drums.Energy? Like I just snorted ten Red Bulls, an espresso shot, and a questionable moonstone.I was pacing so hard, I think the enchanted carpet started whimpering.Knock.The door opened with the subtle drama only King Edric Moon could pull off. Tall. Calm. Too gorgeous for his own safety. Shirt half-unbuttoned because of course it was. And those golden eyes—still glowing faintly from the council carnage.He stepped in and said, softly, “Are you okay?”Oh no, he didn’t.“Am I okay?” I spun, hands flailing like I was about to summon a lightning storm. “You decapitated someone, Edric!”“I warned him.”“That’s not the point!”“You’re shaking.”“That’s not—” I pause

  • Queen Luna: Once Rejected, Now Ruthless   Chapter 26

    The morning began with divine coffee. Not just “oh this is good” coffee. No. This was the kind of coffee that tasted like it was brewed by angels, steeped in moonlight, and whispered affirmations to your soul with every sip. And the view? From our shared balcony? Worth more than my entire former life.We sat under a canopy of golden silk, sunlight dripping across the crystal table like it had RSVP’d.Croissants that flaked like edible clouds. Berries dipped in enchanted cream. A slice of mana-infused peach tart that I might have moaned over.King Edric sat across from me, shirt tragically buttoned this time—but that didn't stop the heat behind those proud amber eyes. He watched me like I was the center of every prophecy and pastry tray.Then came the dressing.Clarence practically danced into my room holding a gown like she had summoned it from the depths of Mount Sass. “Red,” she announced. “Velvet. Bold. Queenly. Dangerous. You’ll look like a royal warning sign.”She was right. It h

    Two hours later, I stumbled out of the wax chamber like a defeated warrior. My skin? Silky. My legs? Dangerous. My soul? Shattered.“Was it worth it?” Clarence asked, inspecting me.I stood tall, chin high. “Absolutely not. But I look expensive now, so I guess I forgive you.”By the time we returned to the castle, I felt like a freshly minted gold coin.Smooth. Glowing. Worth a small nation.And absolutely ready to demand pajamas and pudding.Spa hours, my friend, are no joke.They are not relaxing.They are full-on combat with beauty as the battlefield.And I?I survived.Waxed, polished, and reborn like a sparkly phoenix from the ashes of body hair and sass. Private carriage. Guards. Towels softer than moonlight. My skin glowed, my nails shimmered, and even my aura felt like it drank holy water and said “I’m back, peasants.” Mr. Yellow returned with a tiny robe and demanded a tiara. I promised to look into it.By the time dinner rolled around, Clarence had shoved me into a deep blu

    But of course, before I could twirl dramatically in my new robe, try on crown-sized earrings, or argue with Clarence about whether “too much glitter” was a real crime (it’s not, FYI)…There was something more urgent.I needed a shower.A long, hot, burn-my-trauma-off kind of shower.Clarence gave me a knowing look and snapped for one of her assistants to guide me, but the butler—Fox, tall, grave, and glowing with quiet judgment and a terrifying sense of schedule—already had it covered.“This way, my lady,” he said, bowing slightly, then led me through an ornately carved door beside the bedroom.I stepped into the bathroom……and immediately forgot how to breathe.It was the size of my entire old room back in the Windsor Pack. Maybe even bigger if you included the half-burned closet and the squeaky corner where I used to hide stolen snacks.This bathroom? This wasn’t a bathroom. This was a marble temple dedicated to hygiene and sinful levels of luxury.The floor gleamed with black and g

  • Queen Luna: Once Rejected, Now Ruthless   Chapter 23

    Kyla POV:Arriving at the Southern Territory was like flying into a dream. Or falling into the pages of a fairy tale—with a shirtless Alpha King as the flying carriage, naturally.From up here, tucked against Edric’s ridiculously warm chest (which I totally wasn’t enjoying), I had a bird’s-eye view of a kingdom that looked nothing like the cruel pack that once threw me out with a backpack and zero dignity.Below, the landscape unfolded in sweeping beauty.Pack villages dotted the valley like storybook illustrations—slate-roofed homes, children running, smoke curling from chimneys. Ancestral houses stood proud with moss-covered stones and carved totems marking ancient bloodlines. Small towns buzzed with life—bakeries, training fields, gardens, schools. A fortress loomed to the east, its high stone walls guarding the edge of the territory like a sleeping giant.To the right, nestled along the jagged cliffs, lay the Blue Moon Pack—my new people, my new family. Their buildings were carved
