RAVEN

“What if all of this is just a ruse, Rowena?” I asked, my voice barely holding itself together as I stood by the window, arms folded across my chest, eyes watching the shadows stretch across the compound like they had answers I couldn’t reach. “What if there’s no attack coming? What if we’re bracing for something that might not even happen?” I turned to her, my voice rising slightly with that familiar ache of doubt that had been gnawing at the back of my throat since Lucian had given the warning.

“I mean… we’re putting everything on hold—our plans, our movements, everything. And for what? Maybe? A whisper in the wind?” I didn’t realize how much I was trembling until I tried to hold the cup of water on the table beside me and it clattered slightly as I lifted it. “What if we’re wasting precious time?” I repeated, more to myself this time, softer, the weight of uncertainty pressing on my shoulders like bricks.

Rowena didn’t even flinch. She just stared at me from across the room,

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   136. EVERYMAN FOR HIMSELF

    ROWENAI caught her just outside the old hall, the cold air biting against my skin, and when I saw Raven standing there as if she had no worries in the world, something inside of me snapped. “So that’s it?” I called out, my voice sharper than I intended, but I didn’t care.“You just walk out? You just vanish when everything we planned was supposed to be done together?” She turned slowly, her eyes narrowing on me, and I swear there wasn’t a single flicker of guilt in them. “Rowena,” she said calmly, almost too calmly, “don’t make it sound like I owe you something. I don’t.”I clenched my fists and walked closer, refusing to back down. “You do owe me, Raven. You dragged me into this mess. You looked me in the eye and told me we were in this together, and now you’re acting like I don’t even exist. Why? Why now?” She smirked, tilting her head just slightly, and her tone grew cold.“Because I finally realized something important. Out here, it’s every man for himself. If you’re smart, you’l

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   135. SO LOUD IT HURT

    RAVENI walked slowly toward Kieran, each step heavier than the last, and yet I kept my chin up, even though inside, my chest felt like it was caving in. His eyes locked on me the moment I stopped a few feet away, and I swear I could almost feel the heat of his rage from where I stood. His jaw tightened, his shoulders squared, and the silence between us was so loud it hurt. Then his voice cut through the air, sharp and merciless.“You betrayed us, Raven. You went behind our backs, and you think you can just walk up here and look me in the eye like nothing happened?”I swallowed hard, shaking my head, my words rushing out before I could even think them through.“No, Kieran, you don’t understand— I didn’t betray anyone. It was Lucian. He— he lured me into it, he made it seem like I didn’t have a choice. He tricked me.” I hated how desperate I sounded, but I had to cling to something, even if it was a lie.Kieran’s laugh was bitter, hollow, the kind of laugh that made you wish you’d neve

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   134. MORE OF A CHALLENGE

    KIERANI stood there frozen for a moment, my eyes fixed on her as Vee walked toward me with that same calm but unapproachable air, and the silence between us was thick, like it had been waiting for this moment to choke me. I forced myself to breathe, and when she finally stopped a few feet away from me, I said.“So… you finally decided to show up.” My voice came out harsher than I intended, but I didn’t regret it. She raised her chin slightly, her lips curling into something that wasn’t exactly a smile but more of a challenge, and she answered softly, “I wasn’t hiding, Kieran. I just didn’t think you were ready to see me yet.” I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my head, “Not ready? You almost destroyed everything with what you did, and you think I wouldn’t be ready? You should’ve been the one not ready to face me.”Her eyes narrowed, and I could see her stiffen like she had expected this and already had her reply ready. “Don’t twist it, Kieran. I did what I thought was necessary, and I

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   133. TOO CALCULATED

    ROWENAI sat there in the silence of my own thoughts, twisting my fingers together as I let my eyes drift toward the window. The night sky was quiet, almost deceptively so, and yet my chest felt heavy because I knew—no, I felt—that there was more to all of this than Raven had let on. I couldn’t piece it together no matter how much I tried, and the harder I pushed my mind to make sense of her actions, the more the questions piled up. I sighed and muttered to myself.“She’s hiding something… she has to be. But what exactly?”“Rowena, are you talking to yourself again?” Mira’s voice broke into my thoughts, soft yet laced with amusement. She sat down across from me, her eyes studying me carefully. “You’ve been restless ever since Raven left. Don’t tell me you’re still overthinking this.”I rubbed my forehead and leaned back in my chair. “I can’t help it, Mira. It doesn’t make sense. The way she left, the way she spoke—it was too calculated. Like she’s moving pieces on a board that none of

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   132. STORM YOU CAN’T PREDICT

    KIERANI leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temples slowly as Dorian sat across from me, his sharp eyes fixed on me like he was waiting for me to say something that would either give him leverage or shut him up entirely. “You’re staring too much, Dorian,” I muttered, finally breaking the silence, “makes me think you’re not just my beta but a spy who’s trying to figure out what’s going on in my head.” He gave a half-smile, shaking his head.“I don’t need to figure out what’s going on in your head, Kieran. You’re too obvious for that. You’re thinking about her again… Raven.” His tone had that cutting edge to it, like he was testing me. I swallowed down the irritation that threatened to show and instead said, “You think you’re clever, don’t you? But you don’t even understand what you’re talking about.”He leaned forward then, resting his elbows on his knees. “Oh, but I do. You’re cautious around her because she’s dangerous. I see it in the way you go quiet when her name comes up. I see

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   131. SHE’S NOT DONE

    ROWENAI leaned back in the chair, my arms folded across my chest as I looked out of the window, the sky darkening even though it wasn’t that late.“It’s strange,” I muttered under my breath, not really intending for anyone to hear, but the words slipped out anyway, heavy and bitter. “Things will no doubt change for the good now that Raven’s out of the pack, but…” My voice trailed off, and I felt the lump in my throat tighten as I turned back toward Liora, who was sitting opposite me, watching me like she had been waiting for me to finally say the thing that had been gnawing at my insides.“But what, Rowena?” she asked, her voice gentle but pressing, her brows furrowing as though she already suspected my hesitation carried more weight than I cared to admit.I sighed, running a hand through my hair, frustration pushing me to finally speak. “But I can’t shake the feeling that Raven still has things up her sleeve. And I don’t mean anything connected to the attacks. No, those… those were
