86. WHIFF OF SUSPICION

RAVEN

Now that I had finally been released from the dungeon that Kieran had tossed me into like some diseased mutt, the air outside almost felt foreign. I could still taste the iron in my mouth, feel the sting of the chains around my wrists even though they were gone. I knew better than to assume this meant I was free—no. Kieran was watching, always watching. He didn’t trust me, and truthfully, I didn’t blame him. I wouldn’t trust me either, not with what I had planned. Every move I made now had to be calculated, silent, intentional. I couldn't afford even the faintest whiff of suspicion.

So, when I heard the soft knock on my chamber door that night, my breath caught. Three soft raps. A pause. Then two. It was our signal. I rushed to open it, and there she was—Rowena, hood drawn low over her face, cloak soaked from the rain.

"You're late," I whispered, tugging her inside.

"I had to make sure I wasn’t followed," she said, voice low, eyes scanning the dimly lit room.

  • Reclaiming His Fated Luna   85. RELEASE HER

    KIERAN“I’m telling you this for the last time, Kieran,” Dorian said as he stood across from me, his eyes sharp with quiet frustration.“You keep her here any longer and you’re going to push this whole thing off the edge. Vee’s not just any prisoner—you know that. She’s not going to break the way others do. And when she does snap, if she does, we’ll have a bigger mess on our hands than we can clean up.”I sat back in my chair, fingers drumming against the armrest. I didn’t look at him right away. I just stared ahead, jaw tight.“So what, I’m supposed to just let her go? Walk out like none of this ever happened? You think she’ll just forget how she barged in here, insulted me, acted like I’m beneath her?” I finally turned to face him.“You think letting her go now makes me strong? No, Dorian. That's a weakness.”“It’s not weakness,” he said, more gently this time. “It’s wisdom. There’s a difference. You’re not bending to her, you’re protecting your own back. Do you know how many people

  • 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
