LUCIAN

I knew things would go awry sooner or later, especially if I didn’t find a way to break into Kieran’s pack. Every day that passed, he and his men were getting stronger…more organized, more ruthless; and if I didn’t move soon, they’d bring the war straight to my doorstep. I could already feel it like a storm brewing in the distance. That thought alone was enough to keep me pacing in my office long after midnight, my hands clenched so tight that my knuckles cracked.

“Lucian,” Markus said from the doorway, his tone cautious, “you’ve been at this for hours. You need to rest before you burn yourself out.”

I shot him a glare, half tired and half irritated. “Rest? You think I can rest when Kieran’s planning something? He’s been gathering rogues…strong ones too. And the spy we sent? He never made it back alive. You think that's a coincidence?”

Markus sighed, stepping fully into the room. “You’re seeing ghosts again. Maybe he’s just guarding his borders tighter. It doesn’t mean he’s pla

    LUCIANI knew things would go awry sooner or later, especially if I didn’t find a way to break into Kieran’s pack. Every day that passed, he and his men were getting stronger…more organized, more ruthless; and if I didn’t move soon, they’d bring the war straight to my doorstep. I could already feel it like a storm brewing in the distance. That thought alone was enough to keep me pacing in my office long after midnight, my hands clenched so tight that my knuckles cracked.“Lucian,” Markus said from the doorway, his tone cautious, “you’ve been at this for hours. You need to rest before you burn yourself out.”I shot him a glare, half tired and half irritated. “Rest? You think I can rest when Kieran’s planning something?

    KIERANThey came to me in the night because that was the way of it…men in oilskins and furs, faces half-swallowed by shadow, voices that never rose above the low tones of wolves on the hunt.“Alpha,” Marcellus said, when the door closed and the candles guttered low. “Lucian moves like a fever across the borders. He’s coaxing your enemies, stirring up rogues. The scouts saw him with Raven’s banner on his hip.”I let the name roll in my mouth like a stone. Lucian. He had the audacity of fire: always two steps from cinder, always close enough to scorch.“Raven?” I asked slowly. “You mean the woman who crawled from under my own men’s boots and lived to whisper at taverns?”“Aye.” Marcellus thumped the table. “And he’s using her. They say she promised him…” He stopped because there were rules to how much a man could say when the Alpha’s temper could tilt the world.“Promised what?” I demanded. My voice was steady, but inside something like a wire pulled taught.“Promises are knives that cu

    RAVENI’d been pacing the edge of the northern woods when the news reached me. A scout…mud-splattered and trembling, came running through the trees, his chest heaving. The look in his eyes told me everything before he even opened his mouth.“They let him go,” he gasped.For a moment, I didn’t move. The wind shifted, carrying the scent of pine and blood…faint, but there.“What do you mean they let him go?” I asked, my voice calm, though the tension in my jaw betrayed me.He swallowed hard. “Alpha Kieran’s men… they released the spy. Left him at the border…half dead, Alpha. He’s barely hanging on.”My hands clenched at my sides. I felt that familiar heat crawl up the back of my neck…the one that came every time Kieran reminded me who he was. He didn’t kill the spy because he wanted to send a message. I knew him too well. Death would’ve been mercy.“Where is he now?” I asked tightly.“With Lucian’s healers,” the scout replied. “They say he might not make it through the night.”I turned a

    ROWENAI was stacking plates by the counter when I heard two of the kitchen maids whispering by the hearth. Their voices were low, but sharp enough to cut through the clatter of pots and the hiss of the simmering stew. I tried to ignore them at first…Kieran’s business was his, not mine…but something in their tone made me pause.“Did you hear what happened to that spy?” one of them, Mara, whispered, glancing around before leaning closer to the other girl.“Alpha Kieran let him go. Said he wasn’t worth killing.”“What? Let him go?” the other gasped. “After what he did?”I stilled, my hands hovering over the stack of plates. Let him go? That didn’t sound like Kieran at all. He wasn’t known for mercy…especially not when it came to rogues sent by Lucian.Mara shook her head quickly. “No, not like that. They left him half dead, apparently. The guards said the man could barely crawl when they dumped him by the eastern border.”My breath hitched slightly, and I forced myself to keep wiping th

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   212. WHO SENT YOU?

    KIERANThey brought him in staggering, chained and thin, eyes wild like a cornered animal. I watched from the doorway because I wanted distance…because distance made me feel in control; and yet every time he cried out something in that room cut across me like a blade.“Kieran,” one of my men spat, hauling him to his feet. The spy’s voice was raw, cracked from whatever they'd already done to him.“Please…please, I don’t know anything; please…” He tried to fix his stare on me as if I were the only anchor left. I let the silence sit for a beat longer than was polite, then stepped forward until my shadow fell over him.“Name,” I said quietly. “Start talking.” His mouth opened, closed, opened again.“I don’t…” he whispered, and then, with a sound that was half sob, half plea, “All right. All right. I’ll talk. I’ll talk.”They wanted details; they always wanted the spectacle of a man unraveling. I heard commands barking; someone jabbing, someone cursing but I kept my voice slow, close to th

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   211. “IT’S A WARNING “.

    RAVENI sat across from Lucian in his study, the scent of burning cedar filling the air. The flicker of the fireplace cast sharp shadows across his face, and for a long moment, he said nothing…just stared into the flames like they held the answer to a war none of us could win. I took a deep breath, knowing I had to say it even if he didn’t want to hear it.“Lucian,” I started quietly, my voice rougher than I meant it to be, “the only reason Alpha Kieran might release that spy is because he wants to make an example of him. You know how he operates. He’ll send him back half-alive…just breathing enough to remind us what happens when anyone crosses him.”Lucian’s jaw tensed, and he closed his eyes, leaning back against his chair. His hand came up to rub the bridge of his nose, a tired sigh escaping his lips. “You think I don’t know that, Raven?” he muttered, his voice low but laced with frustration. “I sent that man because I trusted him. Because I believed he could handle himself. And no
