Reborn As The True Luna Seventy four
Astrid’s POVSilence stretched long enough that I thought I’d overstepped. Then Mara smiled all toothy like she’s been refraining herself. “I think we can do that.” she beamed.Helena looked like she wanted to argue but finally nodded once. “As the Luna wishes.”“Just Astrid when we’re in private. Please.”“That would be highly irregular.” Helena started looking confused at the request.“But not forbidden?” I pushed gently.Another pause. “Not forbidden.”“Then that’s what I’d prefer.” I turned back to the mirror. “Now tell me honestly, is this dress appropriate for dinner tonight?”“It’s perfect!” Mara said immediately. “The blue will make you stand out without trying too hard. You’ll look confident and beautiful.”“Mara!” Helena said warningly.“What? She asked for honesty.” Mara met my eyes in the mirror. “You’re going to be the most interesting thing to walk into that dining hall in years. Might as well own it.”I couldn’t help but smile. “Is everyone going to stare?”“Absolutel

Astrid’s POVI stood in the middle of my new quarters after Davian left, trying to process that this was actually mine. The space was bigger than I’d had in years, decorated in neutrals with touches of deep blue and silver. The living area had a couch that looked like it was actually meant to be sat on. Bookshelves lined one wall, already stocked with a mix of classics and contemporary titles. A desk sat near the windows with a sleek laptop I’d never seen before, thin and modern in a way that made Riftclaw’s technology look ancient.I moved to examine it closer and found it was already set up, the screen lighting up at my touch. It was connevted to the palace network, access to databases and information I’d never had before. Even the phone on the desk was newer than anything Anthony had allowed me to have.I pushed that thought away and kept exploring. The bedroom was through a door to the right, dominated by a massive bed with soft linens in that same blue silver color scheme. Th

Astrid’s POVThey nodded reluctantly then seemed to remember I was standing there. Six pairs of eyes turned to assess me with the brutal honesty only children could manage.“Is she the new queen?” One boy asked.“Yes. Queen Luna.” Davian corrected gently. “Yes. This is Astrid.”“She’s really pale.” the same boy observed with wide eyes looking more amazed.“Kieran!” an adult voice called warningly from somewhere behind us.“But she is!” Kieran protested I couldn’t help but smile. “I am pretty pale compared to you guys.”That seemed to break some ice. A few of them smiled back but continued staring like they’ve seen a Disney princess. “Will you train with us?” A different girl asked tilting her head. “King Davian said his Luna would be strong.”“I’ll try my best,” I said honestly.They seemed satisfied with that answer and after a few more excited questions that Davian deflected with practiced ease, they ran off as quickly as they’d appeared.“Sorry about that.” Davian said, straighte

Astrid’s POVI woke up still on the couch with morning light streaming through the windows and Davian’s arm around me. At some point during the night we’d shifted, my head now resting on his chest and his other hand tangled loosely in my hair.He was already awake, I could tell from his breathing.“Morning. ” he greeted.“Morning.” I didn’t move yet, too comfortable and still half asleep. “Did you sleep at all?”“Some.” His chest rumbled under my ear when he spoke. “You talk in your sleep.”Heat flooded my face and I sat up quickly. “What did I say?”“Nothing coherent.” A smile tugged at his mouth. “Mostly mumbling about gardens and basil.”“That’s embarrassing.”“It’s endearing.” He stood and stretched, his shirt rumpled from sleeping sitting up. “Come on. We should eat and get ready. The palace staff will be expecting us by noon.”Breakfast was quick, both of us moving around the kitchen with comfort that came from the past few days together. Then we gathered our bags and loaded the

Astrid’s POVPacking took all of fifteen minutes because I had almost nothing to pack. A few pairs of jeans, shirts, the burgundy suit and basic toiletries. Everything I owned fit into one small bag with room to spare.The realization stung more than it should have. Four years at Riftclaw and I was leaving with less than I’d arrived with.I sat on the bed staring at the bag and tried not to think about what that meant. how thoroughly Anthony had controlled even the smallest aspects of my life, how little space I’d been allowed to claim as my own.A soft knock came at the door.“Come in.”Davian stepped inside and his eyes immediately went to the small bag sitting on the bed. Something flickered across his expression but it aas too fast to read.“That’s everything?”“That’s everything.” I tried to keep my voice light. “Told you I traveled light.”He was quiet for a moment then moved to sit beside me on the bed, close enough that our shoulders almost touched. “We’ll fix that.

Astrid’s POVWe got back to the house and I went straight upstairs, needing space to process everything that had just happened. I changed out of the burgundy suit carefully hanging it in the closet like it was armor I’d need again. Which I would, in two weeks when we went back to face the Council and prove I deserved what was stolen from me.When I came back downstairs in comfortable clothes, I found Davian in the kitchen making coffee. He’d shed his jacket and tie, rolled his sleeves up amd looking more relaxed than he had all day.“Want some?” he asked, holding up a mug.“Please.”He poured and slid it across the counter to me. I wrapped my hands around the warmth and just breathed for a moment, letting the tension from the hearing slowly drain away.“You did well today” Davian said.“I barely spoke.”“Exactly.” He leaned against the counter. “You knew when to let me handle things and when to hold your ground. That’s harder than it looks.”I took a sip of coffee, the bitter taste n
