Reclaiming His Fated Luna 176. DOUBT. RESTLESSNESS.
LUCIANI could feel the night pressing down on me like a weight, the air sharp with the smell of rain and damp earth. My rogues had gathered around the fire, their eyes fixed on me, waiting for direction, waiting for proof that I was still the leader they had chosen to follow. I stood there, hands clasped behind my back, pretending to be calm, but the truth was, I could sense the cracks forming. Doubt. Restlessness.“Lucian,” one of them finally spoke…Darius, broad-shouldered, scar running down his jaw, one of my most loyal until lately.“We’ve been running circles for weeks now. You promised us land. You promised us safety. All we’ve got is blood on our hands and a target on our backs.”His words struck harder than any blade. I let out a slow breath. “And have I not kept us alive? Have I not led you through every ambush? Every trap?”Another rogue, younger, with sharp eyes that had seen too much, muttered, “Maybe Kieran’s stronger than you say. Maybe we’re chasing smoke.”I turned my
Reclaiming His Fated Luna 175. HE’S A PLAGUE
KIERANI leaned back in my chair, letting my eyes sweep over the long table where the other Alphas sat, their voices already buzzing with opinions before I even opened my mouth. I cleared my throat and said“We can’t keep dragging this out. Lucian is still out there, and the longer he breathes, the more dangerous he becomes to our packs.”Alpha Magnus leaned forward, his fists pressed on the table. “You’ve been saying that for weeks, Kieran. If he’s such a threat, then why hasn’t he been caught yet? Surely your men can handle one rogue.”I narrowed my eyes at him, biting back the sharp retort at the edge of my tongue. “Don’t mistake his status as a rogue for weakness. Lucian is no ordinary stray wolf, he knows how to move in the shadows, how to gather others to his cause. I’d rather cut him out before he grows bolder.”Alpha Rhys sighed heavily, running a hand through his graying beard. “And yet every suggestion we make, you shoot down. If you’ve got a plan, Kieran, then speak it. Oth
Reclaiming His Fated Luna 174. THE STAR OF THE SHOW
RAVENI watched her from the corner of the hallway that night, the faint glow of the lanterns flickering across her face. Selene. She thought she was clever, thought she had pieced something together just because she was standing straighter and her eyes weren’t as glassy anymore. I knew the moment she realized she’d been eating poison, and I also knew she was desperate to uncover what else I was hiding. She had no idea that I wanted her to dig, to poke, to snoop. Because sometimes, the best trap is the one that looks like freedom.I pressed my back to the wall, smirking as I whispered to myself, “She’s not as sharp as she thinks. Let her follow the crumbs. Let her believe she’s winning. By the time she sees the whole picture, it’ll be too late.”Footsteps sounded behind me, and I turned sharply to see Liora, one of Kieran’s men who had no business wandering here.“Raven,” she hissed, glaring at me. “The Alpha doesn’t like being kept in the dark. He wants progress.”I folded my arms, u
Reclaiming His Fated Luna 173. IT’S CATASTROPHIC
SELENEI sat there on the edge of my bed, turning the thought over and over in my mind until it was eating me alive.“It doesn’t make sense,” I whispered to myself, my fingers curling tightly into the blanket.“Why do I suddenly feel stronger? Why do I feel like… myself again?” For weeks, maybe even months, Raven had insisted on giving me those snacks, always saying it was for my health, for my energy, for my nerves. And like a fool, I trusted her. But now that she’d stopped, it was like the fog in my head had cleared.I grabbed the glass of water from the nightstand and took a sip, but the bitterness in my mouth wouldn’t leave.“No, no, something’s off. She’s not the type to just… stop.” I muttered, pacing the room. The door creaked as Mira, one of the younger girls from the pack, poked her head in.“Selene? You’re talking to yourself again,” she said carefully, her brows furrowed.I gave her a small smile, though my voice cracked. “Better to talk to myself than be caught in Raven’s
Reclaiming His Fated Luna 172. STRIKE FROM THE SHADOWS
LUCIANI slammed my hand against the wooden table, the sound echoing through the room as the rogues sat around me, their faces tense, their eyes darting between one another. “Listen to me,” I said, my voice sharp, and for a moment no one dared to move.“Kieran and his men are coming, and they’re not coming to negotiate. They’re coming to take what’s ours, and if we don’t settle things tonight, then tomorrow, none of us will even have a chance to breathe.”One of the men closest to me, Jax, leaned forward, his arms crossed over his chest. “Lucian, you keep saying that, but we all know what’s coming. He’s got more men, more resources, more everything. How do you expect us to fight him head-on when we can’t even guarantee food for the week?”I fixed him with a stare, my jaw tight. “I’m not asking you to believe in miracles, Jax. I’m asking you to believe in me. We’ve been surviving this long not because we had more, but because we knew how to use what we had. And that hasn’t changed.”Fr
Reclaiming His Fated Luna 171. THE CALM IS TOO PERFECT
KIERANI leaned back in my chair, my eyes fixed on the flames dancing in the hearth as I said, “Rowena, come closer. Sit. I’ve been meaning to ask you something that has been pressing on my mind.” She hesitated for a moment before stepping forward, her face guarded, and I caught the flicker of unease in her eyes.“Tell me,” I asked firmly, my voice low but commanding, “have you heard anything new from Lucian? Any word, any whisper at all?”She shook her head slowly, sitting on the edge of the chair as if ready to spring back up at any moment. “No, Alpha. Nothing. Not a word from him, nor from anyone who might be tied to him.” Her voice was steady, but there was a trace of something else there, something I couldn’t quite place. I leaned forward, my elbows on my knees, watching her closely.“Nothing?” I repeated, my tone sharper this time. “You’re certain of that, Rowena? Because Lucian is not the kind to sit idly by, and I can feel it in my bones, he is planning something. And if he is
