Keith

I load the last of Hope’s bags into the back of the SUV, slamming the trunk with a satisfying thud. She’s double-checking her tote by the porch, flipping through it like she’s smuggling state secrets and not just a travel mug and three backup lip balms.

“You ready?” I ask.

She looks up, eyes bright. “Yeah, just—wait. Where’s my phone charger?”

“Front pocket,” I say without even checking. She checks anyway. Finds it. Smiles like I just read her mind.

I walk toward the driver’s side, but a familiar scent catches on the wind—cedar and adrenaline. Ben.

“Hey,” he calls, jogging up the gravel drive.

I meet him halfway, pulse tightening like it always does around him lately. Things have been easier since the Alphas stepped back, but we still dance carefully.

“What’s up?” I ask, nodding toward Hope. She’s watching us, pretending not to.

Ben keeps his voice low. “Just wanted to talk before you left.”

“About what?”

He shifts, glancing at the car. “Bringing her back. After the visit.”

  • Reborn Luna   70.Our home

    KeithThe sun rises slowly over BlueRock land, turning the sky into watercolor—soft orange, pink, and lavender. The mountains stand tall behind us, silent and ancient witnesses to what’s about to happen. This land raised Hope. It made her strong. And now, it watches her take her final steps as part of it, before stepping into something new—with me.I stand next to Ben at the altar. We’re dressed sharp, but it’s not the suits I notice. It’s the way the wildflowers spread across the clearing like a blessing. There are garlands woven into tree branches, petals scattered on the ground, sunlight glinting off dewdrops like tiny diamonds. It’s magic. Sacred. Alive.This day—this moment—is everything.The chairs are filled with both of our packs. Everyone from the Lotus pack is in attendance, waiting to see the moment when their Luna comes into being.I'm almost giddy at the thought of taking her home after.Home.The word is like a hot of warm hot chocolate. The Lotus pack will no longer be

  • Reborn Luna   69.Warning

    HopeI sit across from Emma, legs bouncing, fingers twitching. I haven’t slept in two nights, maybe three. Not well, anyway. The dreams keep coming—louder, clearer, darker."I need your help," I say. My voice comes out rough, like I’ve been screaming. Maybe I have, in my sleep.Emma doesn’t flinch. She never does. "Talk to me."I take a breath, but it sticks in my throat. I swallow it back down, try again. "It’s the dreams again. They're not just dreams. It feels like... a warning. A betrayal. Someone close. I don’t know who, but it’s real. Too real."Emma leans forward. “Who betrays you?”"I don't know." I rub my temples, try to slow the swirl of images behind my eyes. “Every time I think I recognize them, their face changes. But the feeling? It's always the same. It’s someone I trust. And every time they betray me, the world collapses. People die.”Emma’s brows pinch together. “Who dies?”I stare down at my hands. “Keith. Tessa. Ben. Papa.”She doesn’t say anything. Just lets the si

  • Reborn Luna   68.You're safe

    HopeTessa spreads a thick binder across the kitchen table, color-coded tabs jutting out like confetti. “Okay, hear me out. What if we both wear ivory, but I do a low back and you do off-the-shoulder?”I sip my tea, grinning. “So basically the same dress, just enough different so we don’t get mistaken for one another?”She snorts. “I’m six inches shorter and have red hair.”“And I have... a slightly obsessive need for symmetry,” I tease, reaching over to flip a tab labeled, Florals. “Let’s talk about bouquets. I want white roses. With eucalyptus. Maybe a few lilacs if they're in season.”Tessa raises a brow. “You’re really leaning into this whole ethereal Luna vibe.”I smile down at the page, my chest buzzing with warmth. “I am going to be Luna soon. Wow, that's weird to say outloud.”“Just as weird to know you won't be with me anymore,” Tessa says.I stop what I'm doing and turn toward my sister. “You know that distance means nothing right? You're still my sister and I love you. No m

  • Reborn Luna   66.A threat

    HopeI close the door behind me and lean against it, letting out a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. It feels good to be home despite it all. Tessa heads up to her room with BEn and Papa makes a beeline for the kitchen.Kieth stands next to me, his keen eyes looking through me for information into my thoughts.I peel off my jacket and drop it over the back of a chair. I keep walking, heart heavy, thoughts louder than the quiet. I can feel Keith's support as he follows me, the presence of his strength.Two days. That’s all it’s been. Just two days since Camille stood in front of the council chamber with his chin high and his voice sharp, declaring Lilith exiled from the royal city. Banished. Sent back to the Nightshade pack like a dog chased back to her kennel.I can still hear the hush that followed his words, the disbelief. And then, the second blow—an edict against the Nightshade pack as a whole. Total exile. No aid. No alliances. No voice.I stop in the middle of the living

  • Reborn Luna   65.I am now King

    The QueenThey’ve locked me in the dark, but I don’t scream. Queens don’t scream.I sit with my back against the stone, wrists raw from iron cuffs. My hair is a mess. My dress is torn. But my mind? Sharper than ever.I’ve spent my whole life preparing for this throne. I played their games. Learned their etiquette. Bit my tongue until it bled. All so my family—my pack—could rise. Could lead.And now?Now we are branded traitors. Cast out. Banished.Because I wasn't his true mate. Because fate couldn’t do one single thing for me. Because he was taken out of my hands and given to another when he was already mine.I had to earn his love. I had to make him choose me.And he did. Once.Until he didn’t.Footsteps. A guard. The younger one—Matthias, I think. He pretends not to look at me, but his eyes stray.The widening of his pupils show me the weakness of his flesh, the weakness of his mind.And just like that, a new path emerges.I shift, let the neckline of my dress slip lower. I know wh
