KIERAN

I was halfway through my meal, the steak slightly overcooked just the way I liked it, when Selene came up to me, her heels making soft clicks against the tiled floor. She didn’t say a word at first, just took the seat across from me like she belonged there, which, technically, she did.

The maid came around, served her a plate, and Selene gave her a tired smile—polite, but distracted. I didn’t look up from my food, didn’t pause to greet her, because I could already feel it—the heavy energy around her, the kind that clings to a person when they’re carrying thoughts they’ve been rehearsing all day. I took a sip of water, let the silence sit, and tried to act like I hadn’t noticed anything unusual. But Selene never did know how to sit with silence for too long.

“I saw Vee today,” she finally said, quietly, like maybe if she said it softly enough I wouldn’t get irritated. But I heard it. Loud and clear. That name again. Of course.

I didn’t look up. “Good for you.”

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   84. LIKE MOCKING LAUGHTER

    RAVENI sat there on the cold stone floor, my back aching from the stiffness of being in this wretched dungeon for more than a damn week. A week. No light, no word, no Kieran. Just silence, shadows, and the endless dripping of water from somewhere above me that had started to sound like mocking laughter. I still couldn’t believe it.That bastard—he was the one who locked me in here. Me. After everything I’d done. After I held back when I had the chance to burn this whole fucking place to the ground, I chose mercy. And what did I get in return? Chains. Darkness. Betrayal.I clenched my fists as the thoughts kept spiraling, faster and faster, angrier and angrier. “I should’ve ended him when I had the chance,” I muttered to myself, my voice hoarse from lack of use.“I should’ve crushed his windpipe instead of warning him. I should’ve shattered every bone in his cursed body and walked away before anyone even blinked.”I didn’t know how long I sat like that, breathing in the musty air, fee

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   83. TOE THE LINE

    KIERANThe clatter of forks and knives against ceramic filled the dining room as we sat at the long polished table, the usual soft hum of conversation weaving between bites of roast and sips of red wine. I didn’t feel much like eating, honestly—my mind was still wrapped around the last heated exchange I’d had with Vee before she was dragged off to the dungeons. I stabbed at a piece of meat absently, chewing with a blank stare at the flickering chandelier overhead, when Dorian cleared his throat and leaned in just slightly, his voice low but firm."Kieran," he said, nudging his glass to the side, "are you really planning to leave Vee down there much longer?"I didn't even look at him at first. Just wiped my mouth slowly with the cloth napkin and gave a long exhale before answering."Yeah. I am. She needs to learn her damn place. You saw the way she spoke to me. Like I was one of her subordinates. Like I was some... some fool."He nodded slightly, his brows tightening with caution, and

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   82. SLAP TO MY PRIDE

    RAVENI couldn’t believe it. I, Raven, the one who had stood beside Kieran through thick and thin, was now locked away in the cold, damp darkness of the dungeon like some kind of traitor. The iron bars glared back at me as if mocking my current state, and every creak of the stone walls felt like a slap to my pride. I paced back and forth, my hands clenched into fists, teeth grinding against the rage boiling inside me.“How dare he,” I muttered under my breath, my voice low but venomous.“That bastard really threw me in here… me. After everything.”My thoughts were spiraling, racing through every single moment I’d stood by him, protected him, advised him- and for what? For him to look me in the eye and toss me in here like some disposable pawn. I realized then, more clearly than ever, that the time for subtle moves and cautious games was over. I needed to speed up my revenge. Whatever plan I had, it needed to be accelerated. He wanted to play rough? Fine. I could be a hundred times wor

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   81. TRUST HER SHADOW

    KIERANI stormed into the kitchen that morning, my footsteps echoing across the tiled floors with enough force to make every servant within earshot freeze mid-task. The clatter of utensils died instantly as I pushed the double doors open, my eyes scanning the room until every last one of them turned to face me, a mixture of confusion and fear etched across their faces. “Everyone, stop what you’re doing,” I barked, my voice sharp, unwavering.“All of you. Come forward.” They shuffled closer, some wiping their hands on aprons, others simply standing still, clearly unsure of what was going on. My jaw tightened. I didn’t care how confused they were. I had had enough.“Listen closely,” I said, folding my arms tightly across my chest. “From this moment on, Raven is not to serve my sister, Selene, anything. No snacks. No fruits. Not even water. If she so much as offers her a napkin, I want to know about it. Is that understood?”There was a murmuring of assent, a few nods, but I slammed my ha

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   80. INCH BY INCH

    RAVEN I already knew Kieran was starting to suspect something was wrong with Selene, more than just the regular fainting spells or the occasional headaches she liked to brush off like dust on her sleeve. The way he’d been hovering lately, peering over her shoulder when she sat to eat, his jaw tight and his eyes narrowing slightly at every little cough she gave or wince she made—yeah, I knew the signs. But he didn’t know half of it. Neither of them did. What they didn’t know, what they couldn’t even begin to imagine, was that I was the one making her sicker, inch by inch.Every time she grumbled about those stupid snacks she was always asking for—the honeyed ones with the sugared nuts—I made sure she got them. Just the way she liked. Only, mine came with a little extra: a carefully measured dusting of wolfsbane mixed into the coating, just enough to make her body rebel, just enough to keep her weak. I didn’t want her dead—at least not yet. I wanted her to suffer first. That was the po

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   79. TOO MANY UNKNOWNS

    KIERANI leaned against the edge of the table in the war room, arms crossed, my eyes fixed on the map before us, but my mind was wandering. Too many moving pieces. Too many unknowns. Dorian stood across from me, his usual stoic expression in place, but there was something in his eyes tonight, something heavier than usual. I could feel it.“You’ve been quiet lately,” I muttered, not looking at him. “That’s not like you.”He didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he stepped forward, placed both hands on the table, and exhaled slowly. “Because there are things I’ve been trying to keep from you.”That got my attention. My gaze snapped up to meet him. “What are you talking about?”He hesitated again, and I could tell this wasn’t easy for him. Dorian never hesitated unless the weight of his words could change something fundamental.“I’ve known some things for a while now, Kieran. About Lucian. About the real reason he’s been pushing so hard. About what’s behind his madness.”“Go on,” I said,
