Livia’s POV

The stone bridge felt narrower with every step Asher took onto its arches.

The wind blowing up from the gorge below carried a spray of icy water that stung my face, but the heat radiating from Asher’s hand locked around mine kept the freezing air from reaching my bones.

  • Reborn as Betrayed Luna    50. Curse

    Livia’s POVThe Pack’s Great Hall had finally silenced down as midnight approached.Most of the guards were asleep on the lower benches near the dying hearth embers. Up in my bedroom, the cool night air blew through the half-open window, carrying the quiet, clean scent of wet pine from the courtyard below.I sat at my small wooden desk, the single oil lamp casting long, amber shadows across the stone wall. In front of me lay the thin, worn leather notebook I had kept since my childhood days.I flipped through the yellowed pages.The handwriting on the early pages was crude and messily drawn in dark ink, childish sketches of a black wolf with golden eyes standing near an old stone archway surrounded by blue mountain flowers. Beside the drawing were the lyrics of the lullaby my mother had sung to me before she died.When the white moon falls,And the golden wolf calls,The bloodline wakes,And the true bond breaks the dark.I stared at my own handwriting. A cold, strange dizziness washe

  • Reborn as Betrayed Luna    49. Not Leaving

    Livia’s POVThe Great Hall of the Hartwell pack had not seen this much life in months.Log fires roared in both massive stone hearths, casting a rich, gold-and-amber glow across the heavy oak tables. The iron chandeliers, usually kept dim to conserve oil, were ablaze with tapers. The warriors and Alpha Magnus’s forward scouts sat side-by-side along the long benches, passing wooden tankards of hot spiced ale and breaking thick hearth-bread.For the first time since my mother’s passing, the dark shadow hanging over this house had completely lifted.At the head table, my father sat next to Alpha Magnus. Though Father’s face was still pale and drawn from the lingering effects of the poisoned tea, his eyes were bright. He was listening to Alpha Magnus recount a story from their younger days, laughing—a real, deep laugh that made my throat tighten with emotion.I sat at the corner table near the hearth, watching them, a wooden mug of chamomile and honey resting between my hands."You're q

  • Reborn as Betrayed Luna    48. It's Over

    Livia’s POVBy the time we hauled Jonathan back to the pack, the orange light of dusk was bleeding through the thick gray mist.Beta Torin spotted us from the high wall first. The heavy barricade at the lower gate was hauled open just enough for Asher to drag Jonathan through by his collar. The traitor’s boots dragged uselessly through the mud, his spirit completely broken the moment Kaelen abandoned him at the river.My father was waiting in the courtyard, leaning heavily on his cane beside Torin.When my father saw Jonathan’s face—the man who had sat at his table for fifteen years, the man who had poured his tea and handled his ledgers, his jaw went slack. The color drained from his face until he looked like a ghost."Jonathan..." Father whispered, his raspy voice shaking with a terrible, quiet grief. "You?"Jonathan didn't look up. He stared down at his wet boots, shivering violently in the cold wind."He wasn't acting alone, Alpha Cedric," Asher said, his voice a low, heavy rumble

    Livia’s POVThe stone bridge felt narrower with every step Asher took onto its arches.The wind blowing up from the gorge below carried a spray of icy water that stung my face, but the heat radiating from Asher’s hand locked around mine kept the freezing air from reaching my bones.Jonathan’s horse backed up until its rear hooves clicked against the far stone ledge. His face was slick with sweat despite the chilly air, his fingers fumbling beneath his coat as he reached for a small, silver dagger hidden in his belt."Kaelen!" Jonathan panicked, his voice cracking like dry wood. "Kill him! He can't leave this bridge alive!"Alpha Kaelen didn't move. He sat atop his stallion, his grey eyes calculating every inch of the distance between his sword and Asher’s chest. He looked at Asher, then down at our locked hands, and finally at the blue light humming beneath the skin of my wrist."You're fighting for a dying house, Blackwood," Kaelen said softly, his blade held ready, but his horse tak

  • Reborn as Betrayed Luna    46. Want her Blood

    Livia’s POVThe roar of the white-water river below the stone bridge sounded like distant thunder, but inside my chest, everything went dead quiet.His own father signed the order fifteen years ago.The words hung in the cold, damp mist, sharper than any iron blade. I looked up at Asher. His face turned pale and drawn tight with a dark, suffocating pain.His hand was still holding mine, his grip so hard my knuckles were white but his golden eyes were fixed on me with a raw, desperate fear. He wasn't looking at Jonathan or Kaelen on the bridge. He was watching my face, waiting for the exact second my trust in him shattered into pieces."Livia..." Asher’s voice was barely a whisper, a ragged scrape of sound that bled into the roar of the river."I heard him," I said softly, my voice surprisingly steady despite the trembling in my knees.I didn't pull my hand out of his grip. Instead, I turned my palm inside his, my fingers curling tightly around his calloused knuckles, squeezing back wi

  • Reborn as Betrayed Luna    45. Traitor

    Livia’s POVThe upper drainage shaft opened into a dense, foggy ravine half a mile above the river.Rain still drizzled from the pale grey sky, but the air out here tasted clean compared to the subterranean dust. Pines towered around us, their wet branches hanging heavy and low, dripping steady water onto the thick carpet of wet pine needles.Asher pulled himself up through the narrow stone opening first, his broadsword ready. He scanned the foggy tree line before turning to give me his hand.When my fingers met his, he didn't just pull me up—he lifted me effortlessly onto the solid earth, his fingers lingering on my palm long after my feet touched the dirt. His thumb rubbed over my knuckles, a small, unconscious gesture, before his hand slowly slid away."The stone bridge is three hundred yards down this ridge," Asher whispered, his voice low against the quiet rustle of the wind.He didn't move toward the trail immediately. He stood close, looking down at my face, his golden eyes fil
