Reborn As The True Luna Seventy two
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. The palac

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

Davian’s POVThe Council chamber felt colder than it should have, all marble designed to intimidate anyone who walked through those doors. Twelve Council members sat in their raised seats watching us with blank expressions. I’d been in this room hundreds of times. Knew every face, every alliance, every grudge that simmered beneath the surface of civility.Astrid hadn’t.I felt her tense beside me when we entered, her hand tightening on my arm. “Steady.” I murmured too quiet for anyone else to hear.She nodded once and I felt her straighten beside me. She understood the game even if she’d never played at this level before.My attention cut across the room to where Skylar sat with her legal team and beside her sat a man I recognized from intelligence reports but had never met in person.Lance Silvermist. Skylar’s son, the one who’d been quietly building support for their claim while staying out of direct spotlight.He was bigger than his mom, built like a warrior. Nis eyes tracked ove

Astrid’s POVI laid the burgundy suit out on the bed and just stared at it for a moment. Marie had chosen simple accessories, a thin gold chain and small earrings that wouldn’t distract. The shoes were practical heels. Now I’m grateful for the lessons Anthony made me go through when I first became his Luna. I didn’t use to wear high heels. I showered quickly, the hot water helping ease tension I’d been carrying since this morning. Since watching Davian train and feeling my body react in ways I wasn’t ready to deal with. Then in his car debating music and feeling more comfortable than I had in years.And also realizing this marriage of convenience was becoming something neither of us had planned for.I dried off and started getting ready with more care than usual. Makeup that made my eyes pop and keeping everything else natural. I pulled my hair back in a way that looked effortless but took twenty minutes to perfect, showing my neck and the mark that sat there.I dressed carefully,

Astrid’s POVPain woke me from my nap. It was not the dull kind that I have been ignoring or the ache from training that makes your muscles weak. This was sharp and burning like my blood was on fire. My hand flew to my neck before I was even fully awake. It was the mark! It felt all shades of wro

My pulse spiked.Oh no he heard.I turned the water higher, scrubbing the sink quickly, forcing my breathing to steady.“I’m fine,” I called out, but my voice came out rougher than I wanted.“I didn’t ask if you were fine.”Another cough tried to rise—I swallowed it down hard, gripping the edge of

“You’ve been busy” he added.My wolf stirred the moment his scent reached me — cedar and something darker, heavier.I forced it down before it could rise any further.“Enjoying the show?” I asked.“Educational I’ll say.” he said lightly. “You held your ground longer than I expected.”My jaw tighten

Astrid’s POV I needed air! The room felt too small after Mira left, the walls pressing in with the weight of what I now knew. So I did what I always did when my mind raced too fast, I went to check on training. The yard was busy with warriors running drills, the clang of practice weapons and sho
