ROWENA

“You must be proud,” she spat, voice tight, shaking. “You’ve been waiting for this moment, haven’t you? To finally rip me apart in front of him.”

I let my lips curl into a smirk, because showing hesitation now would be weakness. “Don’t give me too much credit. All I did was speak the truth. If it hurts, maybe it’s because you know I wasn’t lying.”

Her laugh was sharp, bitter. “Truth? No, you twisted it. You painted me in the worst light possible just to make yourself look better.”

And there it was, that righteous anger of hers, that bleeding heart she wore on her sleeve. I could almost pity her for still thinking loyalty had any value here. Almost.

“Don’t act like you’re innocent, Raven. You’ve had Kieran’s attention since the day you walked in. Do you know what it’s like to stand in your shadow every single day, fighting for scraps?”

She stepped closer, eyes blazing. “You weren’t in my shadow, Rowena. You put yourself there. I never asked you to trail behind me, never asked yo

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   160. UNDER HIS BANNER

    RAVENI could feel the tension in the air before I even stepped into the hall. The pack was restless, whispers flying from one corner to another about Kieran making calls, about Alphas who hadn’t set foot on this land in years now preparing to march under his banner. I tried to keep my steps steady, my face calm, but inside, my stomach twisted.When I finally found him, he was leaning over the map, Rowan beside him, both of them looking like they were carrying the world’s weight. I crossed my arms and spoke before either of them noticed me.“So it’s true then… you really called the others.”Kieran’s head snapped up, his eyes meeting mine with that familiar fire. “I didn’t have a choice, Raven.”“You always have a choice,” I shot back, my voice sharper than I intended. “You told me you’d handle Lucian without dragging the whole damn region into it. Now you’re setting up a war that could swallow everyone.”Rowan sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Raven, you don’t understand.”“I

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   159. CALLING IN FAVORS

    KIERANI leaned back in my chair, staring at the map laid out on the table in front of me, my fingers drumming against the wood.“I could call the other Alphas,” I muttered under my breath, though I wasn’t sure if I was trying to convince myself or just filling the silence. “But would that be too much?”“Too much?” my Beta, Rowan, raised a brow as he folded his arms across his chest. “Kieran, Lucian has been pressing harder with each raid. He’s not backing down, and you know damn well he won’t stop until he bleeds you dry. If the other Alphas were in your position, they wouldn’t hesitate.”I sighed, shaking my head. “That’s exactly what I’m thinking about. If Lucian were in my place, he’d already have rallied everyone he could find and come down on me with fire and steel. That’s who he is. But me?” I looked Rowan straight in the eyes. “If I make that call, I’m telling everyone I can’t handle this on my own. And you know how the others are, they’ll see weakness before they see strategy

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   158. LIKE A WEAPON

    KIERANI had been watching her for a while, though she didn’t know it. Raven thought she moved quietly, that she blended in, but I could read the tension in her shoulders even from a distance. The way she clutched her hands too tightly, the way her eyes darted around as if the walls themselves had eyes. Something wasn’t right, and I wasn’t the only one who noticed.I saw Rowena walking away first, her face tight, her steps quick like she was running from something she didn’t want to admit. My jaw clenched. And then there was Raven, standing there in the middle of the path, frozen like a statue. Her lips were pressed shut, her eyes fixed on nothing, and for once she didn’t look like the unshakable woman she wanted everyone to think she was. She looked… cornered.I walked up slowly, not wanting to spook her, though she didn’t even flinch until I spoke. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”Her head snapped toward me, eyes wide for just a split second before she masked it. “I’m fine,” she

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   157. JUST ONE WORD

    RAVENI kept telling myself to act normal, to keep my head low and my steps steady, but no matter how much I tried to blend into the crowd, there was this weight pressing against my back, like eyes carving into me with every second that ticked by. My chest felt tight, not just because of the fear of being discovered, but because of the guilt that lingered in my gut, this wasn’t the way I had planned to bring Kieran down. I wasn’t supposed to feel exposed or hesitant. I wasn’t supposed to feel… guilty.I was halfway through that thought when my eyes locked onto a figure. Rowena. She was standing at a distance, her gaze sharp and steady on me. My throat went dry. The moment our eyes met, she turned away so quickly that her long hair whipped against her shoulder, and she walked off as if she wanted to erase the fact that she had been there at all.“Rowena!” I called out, but my voice came out lower than I intended, more like a hiss than a shout.She didn’t stop. Her steps only grew quick

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   156. HIDING BEHIND THAT SMILE

    KIERANThe moment Raven stepped into the hall, I knew something was wrong. She carried herself like nothing was out of place, but her shoulders were tighter than usual, her steps just a fraction slower. To anyone else, it might’ve looked like nothing, but I’d been watching her long enough to see through her masks.“You’re late,” I said, not bothering to hide the edge in my tone.She slipped into the chair across from me, her lips curling in that way she always used when she wanted to deflect. “Barely. You couldn’t have missed me that much.”I narrowed my eyes. “You look like hell.”She laughed, too light, too forced. “Thanks for the compliment, Alpha. Always so charming in the morning.”I didn’t return it. My gaze lingered on the way her hand trembled slightly as she reached for the bread.“What’s wrong with you?”“Nothing,” she answered quickly, tearing at the bread as though it was the only thing keeping her grounded.“I just didn’t sleep well.”I leaned back in my chair, folding my

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   155. NOT IF IT KILLS YOU

    RAVENThe morning light slipped through the curtains, pulling me out of a restless sleep. My body ached in places I didn’t even know could ache, and I groaned, pressing a hand against my ribs as I slowly pushed myself up.“Damn it,” I muttered under my breath, wincing when my muscles protested the movement. It wasn’t the kind of pain that screamed injury, it was the deep, dragging soreness that came from pushing myself far beyond what I should have. Still, I couldn’t afford to slow down, not when Alpha Kieran’s eyes were always sharper than I wanted them to be.Just as I swung my legs off the bed, there was a knock at the door. My heart jumped, and I quickly straightened, masking the strain on my face. “Come in,” I called, forcing my voice steady.The door creaked open and one of Kieran’s men stepped inside, giving me a curious look. “Morning, Raven. Alpha wants to know if you’ll be at breakfast.”I smiled faintly, though my hand itched to rub the ache in my shoulder. “Of course. Tell
