SIERRA'S POV

Patience was a virtue I'd never truly appreciated until now.

I sat in the palace library—a place I'd never bothered visiting before—pretending to read a book about ancient pack histories while my eyes tracked every servant who passed through the corridor outside.

Specifically, one servant.

Isabella.

She moved past the doorway carrying fresh linens, her head down, posture submissive. The perfect picture of an obedient maid.

But I'd been watching her for three days now, and I'd

  • REJECTED LUNA RETURNS FOR WAR!   Isabella's Decision

    IISABELLA'S POV I'd found the document in the library purely by accident. Or at least, that's what I was supposed to think. The moment I'd opened that folder and seen the military deployment plans, alarm bells had gone off in my head. Too convenient. Too accessible. Too detailed for something that should be highly classified. I'd almost closed it immediately, but curiosity—and caution—made me read through it first. And that's when I'd spotted the inconsistencies. The eastern river approach was listed as an infiltration route, but I knew that area. Had studied maps of Silverridge during my time as Luna, back when we'd discussed potential alliances with neighboring packs. That river flooded every spring. Made the eastern approach completely impassable this time of year. Any genuine military strategist would know that. Which meant this do

  • REJECTED LUNA RETURNS FOR WAR!   The Trap Tightens

    DAMON'S POV I was done waiting for Isabella to make a mistake on her own. If she wouldn't slip naturally, I'd create a situation where she had no choice but to reveal herself. The plan had come to me three nights ago, as I lay awake thinking about all our failed attempts to expose her. Every search had turned up nothing. Every rumor had been ignored or dismissed. Every observation, no matter how damning, lacked concrete proof. But what if I gave her something she couldn't resist? Something so valuable, so tempting, that even the most disciplined spy would have to act on it? I sat in my chambers, carefully drafting the document that would be my bait. It had to look authentic. Had to seem like genuine military intelligence. Important enough to be valuable, but not so obviously critical that its presence in an acces

  • REJECTED LUNA RETURNS FOR WAR!   Isabella's Mission Conflict

    ISABELLA'S POVLeon had been back from Ironville for three days, and I was running out of excuses.Excuses for why I hadn't gathered any intelligence while he was gone. Excuses for why I'd spent those eight days worried sick instead of searching his study for useful information. Excuses for why the thought of him dying in battle had terrified me more than it should.I was supposed to be gathering intelligence. Learning Redmoon's weaknesses. Finding ways to undermine the Ancient Lycan's power. Planning revenge.Instead, I'd spent my time anxiously watching the palace gates and barely sleeping because every night brought nightmares of Leon not coming back."You're an idiot," I muttered to myself as I scrubbed floors in an empty corridor. "A complete idiot."My wolf stirred uneasily. *We're compromised.*"I know."*We can't afford to care about him.*"I know that too."*Then why haven't we done anything? Why haven't we searched for information about the Ancient Lycan? About Redmoon's mi

  • REJECTED LUNA RETURNS FOR WAR!   The Ironville Conquest

    LEON'S POVThe war room was tense with anticipation as I studied the maps spread across the massive oak table.Ironville Pack. The second-to-last independent territory. Smaller than Evergreen had been, but strategically positioned near valuable mining territory. The Ancient Lycan wanted it conquered within the month.And what the Ancient Lycan wanted, he got."Their defenses are concentrated here," Kennedy said, pointing to the northern border. "Three guard towers, rotating patrols every two hours. But the eastern approach is less fortified.""Because it's swampland," Rogers added. "Difficult terrain. They're counting on it being impassable.""Nothing is impassable," Damon said, his voice eager. He'd been restless lately, looking for an outlet for his frustration. A conquest would give him that. "We send advance teams through the swamp at night. Strike from the direction they least expect."I nodded, my mind already calculating logistics. "How many warriors would we need?""Two hundre

  • 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."
