RAVEN

I sat there, my fingers trembling slightly as I clasped them together under the long table, trying my best to hide my nervousness. Rowena sat beside me, her face stoic as ever, but I could feel her tension. It was in the way her jaw kept tightening every few seconds, the way she didn't blink as often as she usually would. Across from us, Lucian paced slowly, his hands behind his back, that all-too-familiar smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth, the kind of expression that said he knew more than he was letting on.

"We have a problem," he said, his voice calm but laced with a kind of fire that made my heart knock against my ribs.

"There’s someone else. Someone who’s been feeding Kieran little pieces of the puzzle, and sooner or later, he’s going to put it all together. You two need to be ready for when that happens."

"Wait, what do you mean there's someone else?" I asked, my voice cracking slightly though I tried to mask it with a cough.

"You said the circle was tight, that no

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   77. BEND THE KNEE

    KIERANI stood by the window in my office, the curtains half drawn as I stared out into the thick woods just beyond the territory line. The trees swayed lazily in the wind, peaceful, almost mocking, considering the chaos that brewed beneath the surface. I could feel it in my bones—something was shifting. The calm we had known for a short while wouldn’t last. A storm was coming, and no amount of hope could change that. I heard the door creak open behind me but didn’t turn. I already knew who it was. His scent always preceded him—Dorian, my beta, my brother in all but blood, and the only one who always told me the truth, no matter how brutal it was.“We need to talk,” Dorian said, his voice low but steady, the kind of steady that made you brace for impact.“I figured,” I replied, still not turning around, just watching the way the shadows danced under the moonlight. “You’ve got that tone again—the one you use when everything’s about to go to shit.”There was a pause, a weight to the sil

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   75. THICK RED STROKES

    KIERAN I had barely sat down at the edge of the war table when the unease in my chest clawed its way up again. The maps were spread wide before me, territory lines drawn in thick red strokes, plans half-scribbled, notes written in my own hand. But none of it mattered now. Something felt off. Off in a way that pricked my instincts, the same ones that had kept me alive through battles most men wouldn’t survive. I stood abruptly, pushing the heavy chair back with a scrape.“Go get Vee,” I said to the three men stationed just outside the chamber doors. “Tell her I want her here. Now.” My voice had no edge of patience left; I wasn’t asking—I was demanding. The tallest of them, Rourke, gave a short nod and disappeared down the hallway without question while the others followed. I remained still, watching the shadows lengthen across the stone walls, time stretching like a tightrope about to snap.But it didn’t take long. Less than ten minutes later, they returned, their faces taut with some

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   74. THE HERO OR THE FOOL

    RAVENI looked at Rowena, her arms folded across her chest as she leaned against the old wooden beam, her brows furrowed in that way she always wore when she knew something wasn’t right but couldn’t yet find the words. I took a breath and finally said it.“Kieran asked me to lead the men in the fight that’s coming. He didn’t say much, just that he needed someone with eyes that weren’t clouded by fear or loyalty. Said I was the only one who fit that description.” I paused, waiting, but Rowena didn’t respond immediately. Her eyes were locked on mine like she was searching for something deeper in them, maybe a crack or a hesitation. I added it quickly.“I haven’t given him an answer yet, not really. But I needed to tell you.”Rowena pushed herself off the beam, a slow shake of her head accompanying her every step as she walked toward me. “Raven… you know what kind of man Kieran is. You know this.” Her voice wasn’t raised, but there was a sharpness in it, one I hadn’t heard in a while.“H

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   73. UNITED IN THOUGHT

    KIERAN“I’m not sure this is the right path,” I muttered, pacing across the stone floor of my chambers, the fire in the hearth throwing flickers of orange light across the elders’ faces.“Lucian isn’t the only threat anymore. You all feel it too, don’t you? There’s something else out there. Something worse. And yet we’re standing here debating who should lead the men when what we need is to be united in thought, not divided in fear.”Old Marcellus, leaning heavily on his staff, gave me a pointed look. “We are not divided, Kieran. We are trying to prevent disasters. If you insist on leading the charge yourself, we risk too much. You’re needed here. Your mind is too burdened to fight in the frontline.”“I didn’t say I’d lead it,” I said sharply, then caught myself and exhaled. “But giving it to Vee? That’s… you’re asking for chaos. She’s unpredictable. Reckless when the stakes get too high.”“Yet she wins,” said Elder Amara, her voice steely despite the tremble in her aged hands. “She’s

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   72. JUST A RUSE

    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,
