RAVEN

I blinked against the morning light, my head pounding faintly, my bones aching from the stiff mattress. Before I could even gather myself, the knock came, short, hard, like the fist behind it had no patience. The door creaked open and one of Kieran’s men stepped in, his voice clipped, almost bored.

“You’ve been reassigned,” he said. “You’ll be working in the far outskirts from now on.”

I stared at him. “Outskirts?”

“Orders from the Alpha.” He didn’t even look me in the eye. “Packhouse wants less… distractions.”

I swung my legs off the bed slowly, letting his words sink in. Distractions. Right. That kiss. That stupid kiss. My heart twisted for half a second before the rage swallowed it whole. So he wanted me gone. Out of sight. Far away.

I yanked on my boots in silence, fists clenched. The man lingered for a second, then left. Moments later, as I stepped outside, Dorian was already waiting like a damn prison warden. Arms crossed. Face like thunder.

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   54. A FLICKER OF GUILT

    KIERANI found Dorian near the edge of the training field, arms folded, eyes surveying the younger wolves as they sparred under the noonday sun. I didn’t wait for him to notice me before speaking.“How did she take it?” I asked, my tone low, careful, like I was probing something sharp. He turned to me, eyes bright with amusement already, like he had been waiting for me to ask. His chuckle came before his words, the kind that crawled under your skin because you knew exactly who it was about.“Oh, she was pissed, Kieran,” he said, drawing out the word like it tasted sweet on his tongue.“Looked at me like I was the one who made the call. If looks could kill…” He laughed again, shaking his head. “She almost knocked over a chair—the poor thing didn’t even do anything. Stormed out of the hall and slammed the door hard enough to shake the walls. It was a scene.”I smirked without meaning to, a flicker of guilt dancing beneath it. “Serves her right,” I muttered, mostly to myself, but he hear

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   52. A TANGLE OF EMOTION

    KIERANI lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, the silence of the room doing nothing to still my thoughts. I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling loudly as I turned on my side.“Damn it, Vee…” I muttered, my voice almost bitter, but not really. There was no bitterness in this. Just confusion. A tangle of emotion I didn’t want to name.The kiss… it wasn’t supposed to happen. Hell, it wasn’t even supposed to cross my mind, but it had, and worse, it lingered. Burned. Haunted me like a ghost. I turned again, lying on my back now, and covered my eyes with the crook of my arm.“Why did you let me kiss you?” I asked aloud to the empty room, as if she’d appear and give me an answer. “And why did you kiss me back?”Because she had. Fully. Like she’d been waiting for that moment for longer than either of us were willing to admit.I sat up, swung my legs off the bed, and rubbed the back of my neck. My room felt too hot suddenly. My skin prickled. Everything about this night felt wrong. Or maybe

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   51. A MISTAKE

    RAVEN The moment Kieran's man showed up at my door, I knew something was off. He didn’t even knock twice—just one soft tap and a pause, like he wasn’t sure if I was in, or maybe he hoped I wouldn’t answer.“The Alpha has summoned you,” he said, avoiding my gaze, his tone stiff and formal like he was delivering bad news. My stomach turned a little, but I gave a small nod and followed, not even bothering to ask what it was about. I already knew.Kieran hadn’t looked me in the eye once since that night. Since his lips crashed into mine like a storm with no warning and even less apology. And ever since, it was like he couldn’t stand the sight of me, or maybe he couldn’t stand the sight of what he’d done. I didn’t know what was worse.I stepped into his chambers, arms crossed tightly against my chest, doing my best to look unaffected even though my heart had already started hammering the moment I walked in. He stood by the window, back turned to me, rigid as stone.“You sent it to me?” I

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   50. THE SAFEST ROUTE

    KIERANI paced the length of my room like a caged animal, fists clenched, jaw tight, the memory of her lips still burned into mine. I cursed under my breath, running a hand through my hair as I turned again, then again, trying to outwalk the regret that coiled in my gut like a serpent. “Dammit,” I muttered, hitting the side of the shelf with my fist just as the door creaked open.Dorian stepped in, brows furrowed, his sharp eyes taking me in from head to toe. “What the hell happened?” he asked, shutting the door behind him with a soft thud.“You look like you just saw a ghost.”I didn’t look at him. I couldn’t. Instead, I gritted my teeth and spat out, “I kissed her.”He blinked. “You kissed who?”“Vee,” I said, my voice a strained whisper as I turned to finally meet his gaze. “I kissed Vee.”There was a beat of silence before Dorian’s mouth dropped open slightly. “You did what?”“It just… happened, alright?” I snapped, immediately regretting the sharpness in my voice. I dragged a han

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   49. PLAY TO WIN

    RAVENI slammed the door to my quarters and leaned against it, my breath coming out in sharp, ragged bursts. My fingers touched my lips unconsciously, and all I could think, over and over—he kissed me. Kieran kissed me. Of all the reckless things he could have done, this was the worst. And I let him. I didn’t push him away. I didn’t even try. I stood there like an idiot and let him devour me like I meant something to him.The door creaked open behind me and Rowena walked in without knocking, as usual. “What happened?” she asked, eyes narrowing when she saw the look on my face.“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”I didn’t move from the door. “He kissed me.”“Who?” Her voice was casual, but her body went still.“Kieran.”Rowena blinked. “Kissed as in… a peck on the cheek or—?”“No, Rowena,” I cut her off, finally pushing away from the door and pacing like the floor would give me answers.“He kissed me. Mouth on mouth. Heat. Fire. The kind of kiss that doesn’t just happen by accident.”
