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   138. FRAGILE ALLIANCE

    LUCIANI didn’t know if I could trust Raven with carrying out our plans in Kieran’s pack, and the uncertainty gnawed at me far more than I wanted to admit. Some of my rogues had told me countless times that she was someone I could rely on, that she hated Kieran enough to risk everything for us, but there was still that gnawing hesitation in my chest. Trust was a dangerous thing to hand out so freely, especially when the fate of everything I had been building was resting on this fragile alliance. But I couldn’t pull her out now, not when the wheel had already been set in motion. All I could do was wait, watch, and see how events would unfold, and that thought alone nearly drove me mad.“Lucian,” one of the rogues, Bronn, muttered as he leaned against the tree trunk next to me.“You’re thinking too much again. I can see it in your face.”I turned sharply toward him. “And what would you have me do, Bronn? Sit here twiddling my thumbs while she could be selling us out to Kieran this very

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   137. REMORSEFUL….?

    ROWENAI was arranging some herbs in the storage room when one of the guards came to tell me that Alpha Kieran wanted to see me. My hands froze on the stalk of lavender I was tying, because nothing good ever came from being summoned by him in such a way. I dusted my hands against my dress and followed, trying to keep my face neutral, but inside my thoughts were running like fire. When I stepped into his chambers, he was leaning against his desk, arms folded, his eyes watching me the way a hawk studies prey. He didn’t speak immediately, which only made my pulse quicken, and then in that measured tone of his, he said.“Rowena… tell me, how has Raven been since she returned?”The question hit me hard, though he had asked it with such casual ease, as if it was nothing more than a passing inquiry. But I wasn’t a fool—I knew Alpha Kieran never asked anything without reason. My lips parted, but no sound came at first, and he noticed. His eyebrow arched slightly, like he was daring me to stum

  • 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
