ISABELLA'S POV

Freedom tasted strange.

I stood in my small chamber, staring at the bed and felt... nothing. No relief. No triumph. Just a hollow awareness that I'd narrowly escaped something that could have ended very differently.

The guards had escorted me back in silence, their eyes carefully averted. Word had spread quickly—the maid who'd been framed, the Lycan King who'd vindicated her, the Lady who'd orchestrated it all.

I should have felt victorious.

Instead, I felt exposed.

Because Leon knew now. Maybe not everything, but enough. Enough to question. Enough to watch me more carefully. Enough to make staying hidden almost impossible.

I sank onto the bed, my body finally acknowledging the exhaustion I'd been holding at bay.

The dungeon had been cold and damp, but worse than the physical discomfort was the mental strain—the constant vigilance, the refusal to break, the knowledge that one moment of weakness could destroy everything.

My wolf stirred restlessly.

  • REJECTED LUNA RETURNS FOR WAR!   CHAPTER 76: Alliance of Suspicion (2)

    SIERRA'S POV "The Ancient Lycan. If Isabella truly is a threat to the kingdom, he would want to know. And unlike Leon, he wouldn't let sentiment cloud his judgment." "That's dangerous," Damon said slowly. "If we're wrong, if we accuse Isabella to the Ancient One and she turns out to be innocent—" "Then we'll face the consequences. But I'm willing to take that risk. Are you?" Damon considered for a long moment. Then he nodded. "Yes. But we need ironclad proof first. The Ancient One doesn't tolerate being disturbed for mere suspicions." "Agreed. So we keep watching. Keep documenting. Keep looking for the mistake she'll eventually make." "Everyone makes mistakes eventually," Damon agreed. "Even her." I stood, tucking my journal away. "I should go before someone notices us meeting. Bu

  • REJECTED LUNA RETURNS FOR WAR!   CHAPTER 75: Alliance of Suspicion

    SIERRA'S POV I found Damon in the armory, inspecting weapons with the kind of intense focus that suggested he was trying to work out frustration through steel and sharp edges. Perfect. A frustrated Damon was a receptive Damon. "Prince Damon," I called softly from the doorway. "Might I have a word?" He looked up, his expression shifting from irritation to calculation. "Lady Sierra. Come to complain about your confinement? That was weeks ago. Let it go." "Actually, I'm here about Isabella." That got his attention. He set down the blade he'd been examining and turned to face me fully. "What about her?" I moved closer, keeping my voice low even though we were alone. "I've been watching her. Just as you have. And I think... I think we might have more luck if we compared notes."

  • REJECTED LUNA RETURNS FOR WAR!   CHAPTER 74: Isabella's Close Call (2)

    ISABELLA'S POV"Which one?" he asked. "Left," I said quietly. His hands were gentle as he removed my shoe and began examining my ankle. His fingers probed carefully, testing for swelling or damage. There was none, of course. Because I hadn't actually injured it. "It's not swollen," Leon said, his voice neutral. "No heat. No visible bruising." "Maybe it's not as bad as I thought—" "You're not injured at all, are you?" I met his eyes. Saw the knowing look there. "I... I might have exaggerated slightly," I admitted. "I was embarrassed about being caught wandering. And I didn't want to get in trouble." "So you lied." "I embellished." "You lied," Leon repeated, but there was no real anger in h

  • REJECTED LUNA RETURNS FOR WAR!   CHAPTER 73: Isabella's Close Call

    ISABELLA'S POV I couldn't keep living like this. The constant vigilance. The endless pretending. The suffocating feeling of walls closing in from every direction. Petra's warning three days ago had made it worse. Someone was asking questions about Evergreen refugees. Someone was investigating. It might have been nothing. But it might have been everything. And the not knowing was driving me slowly insane. I needed to move. Needed to fight. Needed to feel like myself again, even if just for a moment. So tonight, I'd made a dangerous decision. I was going to train. The old storage building on the far edge of the palace grounds had been abandoned for years—Martha had mentioned it once, complaining about how it attracted rats. No one used it. No one visited

  • REJECTED LUNA RETURNS FOR WAR!   CHAPTER 72: The Hunter (2)

    DAMON'S POVI spent the afternoon in the training yards, working out my frustration on practice dummies and sparring partners. My wolf prowled restlessly beneath my skin, eager for a real fight. Eager for blood. We'd been too idle lately. Too soft. We needed conflict. Needed to hunt. And Isabella was prey that needed hunting. As the sun began to set, I made my way to the servants' quarters again. Not to search Isabella's room this time—that had proven fruitless. But to ask different questions. I found Martha, the older maid who seemed to supervise the others, in the linen storage room. "My lord," she said, bowing quickly. "What can I do for you?" "The maid, Isabella. How long has have you known her?" Martha's expression grew c

  • REJECTED LUNA RETURNS FOR WAR!   CHAPTER 71: The Hunter

    DAMON'S POV I'd been watching Isabella for weeks now, and the woman was infuriatingly careful. Too careful. Too controlled. Too perfect in her role as the obedient little maid. Which only convinced me further that she was hiding something. I sat in the shadows of the palace gardens, a position that gave me a clear view of the servants' entrance, and waited. Watching was something I'd gotten good at over the years. Patience was a weapon too many wolves underestimated. And I was nothing if not patient when it came to threats against my family. Because that's what Isabella was, whether Leon wanted to admit it or not. A threat. She moved like someone with military training. Spoke like someone educated f
