Rejected Plus-Size is now a Second Chance Luna Distance Again
AsherThe image of her swollen, flushed lips was burned into the back of my eyelids.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her standing beneath the torchlight in the gallery—breathless, radiant, carrying my twin brother’s scent like an invisible garland around her throat.Aster kissed her.The realization sat in my gut like molten lead, heavy, toxic, and burning through every wall I had painstakingly erected. It was one thing to know Aster was courting her from a respectful distance; it was an entirely different torment to know that their mouths had met, that she had yielded to him, and that the future I had dreaded was steadily locking into place.My feelings had metastasized into something rotten, dangerous, and utterly intolerable. To look at Jade with longing while my brother was building a life with her was not just weakness—it was treason. It was a filthy, cowardly betrayal of the only family I had left in this world.I had to excise the rot before it destroyed us all.I threw myse

AsterThe conservatory terrace in the palace’s southern glasshouse was one of the few places where the mountain chill couldn't reach. Heated by underground thermal flues and lit by lanterns floating inside glass globes, it smelled of crushed mint, blooming night-orchids, and damp earth.I pulled back the wrought-iron chair for Jade, smiling as she smoothed down the dark plum wool of her dress.Over the weeks since we first walked in the gardens, the change in her was nothing short of breathtaking. When she had first arrived in this territory, she had carried herself like a cornered wolf—shoulders hunched inward, chin defensively high, bracing for the inevitable strike. Tonight, she sat across the small candlelit table with an easy, radiant grace. She laughed freely at my stories, sampled the roasted duck and spiced plums without hesitation, and spoke with the steady assurance of a woman who knew her place in the world was entirely earned."You look stunning tonight, Jade," I said, lea
Rejected Plus-Size is now a Second Chance Luna A Day Outside the Palace
JadeThe ink on the royal authorization was dry, and the seal was set in deep crimson wax: renovations on the children’s center were officially cleared to begin.Instead of spending the morning cooped up in the archives or debating over mahogany tables, I took Lena and two guards—Brant and another stoic warrior named Eric—down the winding cobbled roads into the heart of the settlement’s commercial district. We had timber orders to finalize, masonry sealants to purchase, and wool bolts to inspect for new winter blankets.For the first time in weeks, the outing had nothing to do with Aster, court protocol, or the suffocating scrutiny of a royal courtship. There were no nobles peering through velvet curtains, calculating my chances of becoming Queen Luna. The cool mountain air felt remarkably light, and I breathed it in deeply, relishing the simple sensation of being just another working member of the pack."Look at the crowd today," Lena said cheerfully, linking her arm with mine as we

AsherHer question hung in the quiet library like a phantom blade: Then why do I still feel guilty?Every strategic instinct told me to step back, leave the archives, and let Aster soothe her grief. Aster had the gentle touch. Aster had the easy warmth that made people feel whole again.Instead, my boots refused to move.Slowly, deliberately, I pulled back the heavy oak chair beside her desk and sat down. The wood groaned beneath my weight as I rested my forearms against my knees, leaning in until the space between us shrank to a breathless murmur. The shredded fragments of her father’s letter lay scattered across the floorboards like pale autumn leaves, but I kept my eyes fixed entirely on her face."Guilt is the weapon cowards use when they know they no longer have authority over you," I said, my baritone dropping into a low, measured rumble. "You feel guilty because you spent twenty-four years believing your only purpose was to absorb their cruelty so they could remain comfortable.
Rejected Plus-Size is now a Second Chance Luna The Family She Left Behind
JadeThe ink on the dispatch sheet bled into a dark, ragged bloom before I realized I was pressing the quill down with white-knuckled force.Your mother has been asking people where you are.Nora’s whisper followed me down the stone corridors, through the midday ledger reviews, and into the quiet corners of my mind where I kept the sharpest memories locked away. For an hour, a foolish, childish ache flared in my chest. Had my mother finally looked at my empty bed and felt the silence? Had she realized that watching her eldest daughter get stripped of her rank, marked with exile, and cast into the wilderness was a monstrosity no parent should ever condone? Did they regret it?Then the memory of her face on the day Carter broke the betrothal cut through the haze like cold iron.She hadn't wept for me. She had smoothed down Janet’s embroidered skirts, adjusted her youngest daughter’s pearl combs, and told the gathered nobles that Skyton was fortunate the Alpha’s eyes had opened before a

JadeThe morning was brisk and filled with the steady hum of commerce that had become my sanctuary. In the welfare office, stacks of distribution requisitions for winter fleece blankets lined the mahogany counters, and I was busy stamping the approval seals when the outer door swung open, letting in a gust of crisp mountain wind and a small team of volunteer intake clerks.Master Vance bustled in from the front receiving room, motioning toward a slender, brown-haired woman carrying a satchel of records."Lady Jade," Master Vance called out cheerfully, wiping ink from his thumb. "This is Nora. She recently registered as an associate clerk after moving into the valley three months ago. She has prior experience with southern district accounts and will be helping us verify the seasonal intake rosters."I raised my head from the ledger, my polite greeting already forming on my lips, only to freeze mid-breath.The woman standing before me was someone I recognized instantly.Nora. We had gro
