HIS FATHER'S LUNA NOT EVEN A LETTER
Ethan heard her before the guards announced her."I don't need to be escorted. I know where his chambers are." Celeste's voice carried down the corridor, sharp with a fury she wasn't bothering to soften for anyone listening. The door to the map room opened hard enough to strike the wall."Three weeks." She stood in the doorway, chin high, her eyes bright with something that hadn't decided yet whether it wanted to be tears or rage. "Three weeks, Ethan. Not a letter. Not a summons. Not so much as a servant sent to ask how I've been since you stood in front of the entire kingdom and chose me."Ethan looked up slowly from the papers he wasn't reading. "Celeste.""That's my name, she crossed the room, skirts snapping around her ankles. "I have spent three weeks fielding questions from every noble family in this court about wedding preparations, about a date, about anything at all I might tell them, and I have had nothing to offer them but silence, because my future husband has apparently f
HIS FATHER'S LUNA THE FIRST COUNCIL
Emma didn't remember walking back to her chambers. She only remembered arriving, closing the door, and standing there with her back against it, breathing like she'd been running. I don't love you, Emma. I never did.She wanted to believe it was never true. It would have been so much simpler if it were true.Naya found her there twenty minutes later, still in the same spot, and didn't ask what had happened. She simply set down the gown she'd been carrying and waited, quiet, until Emma's breathing evened out on its own."The Council meets within the hour, Your Majesty," Naya said gently. "This is your first sitting at the Council. Emma had forgotten entirely. She almost laughed at the timing, some dark, tired humor bubbling up at the idea of walking straight from Ethan's cruelty into a room full of men who'd spent years calling her a curse and convincing her Dad that she was the major problem of his downfall. "Then I suppose I should get dressed," she said.The Council chamber was sma
HIS FATHER'S LUNA A STRANGER WEARING HIS FACE
"I thought I'd spend the night here." "Why would you think that?"The words landed like a slap. Emma's face went hot. "We're married. I didn't think it was strange to—""This is not your chamber." Jasper set down his pen with a precision that felt worse than a shout. "You have your own rooms. Use them if you want to sleep." Emma looked towards the bed. I..I thought this was what I was supposed to do? "I don't recall inviting you here." His voice was too harsh. Whatever happened on our wedding night was because I was drunk. I do not want you to think otherwise. Emma stood frozen in the doorway, humiliation crawling up her throat so fast she couldn't speak past it. "But I am your wife now. I thought wives…" She stopped there.I don’t want you to misunderstand the previous night. Never enter my chambers unless you are being summoned. He hadn't moved from his desk. He wasn't even looking at her fully now, his eyes already dropping back toward his papers. "Go back to your chambers, Emma
HIS FATHER'S LUNA LORD ASHFORD
The door opened before Alden finished rolling up his map."Forgive the interruption." Lord Victor Ashford stepped into the tutoring chamber, his robes immaculate despite the hour, a folder of parchment tucked beneath one arm. "I was told I'd find the Queen still at her lessons."The tutors rose at once, bowing low. Emma stood more slowly, unsure of the correct amount of formality for a man she'd only seen from a distance at her wedding, at court, always near Jasper's shoulder like a fixture of the throne itself."Lord Ashford." She dipped her head. "I wasn't expecting you until this evening.""I'm early. A bad habit." He smiled, and it reached his eyes easily, the kind of smile that made a room relax around him. "I hoped I might speak with you before the council meets. If you can spare a few minutes." Emma glanced at Tobias, already gathering his books with the discreet haste of a man who understood exactly when a room no longer needed him."Of course," she said. The tutors filed out
HIS FATHER'S LUNA LEARN TO BE A QUEEN
The throne room felt too large once it was empty.Emma sat where she'd been left, hands still folded in her lap, listening to her own pulse slow down one beat at a time. The echo of Jasper's voice still rang somewhere behind her ribs. The next person who speaks to my wife, and for one foolish moment, warmth had started to unfurl in her chest.Then Jasper turned around, and whatever warmth she'd felt died instantly."What was that?" he said. Emma blinked. "I don't understand, Your Majesty.""Don't you?" He crossed the space between them in three hard strides, dust still clinging to his armor, and stopped close enough that she had to tilt her head back to hold his gaze. "You sat there. You let them circle you like you were prey. You let them call you a witch to your face, and you said nothing." His voice cracked through the empty hall. "You are the Queen of Valenmoor. Do you understand what that word means? It does not mean you sit quietly while lesser nobles decide what you are worth
HIS FATHER'S LUNA NO ONE DISRESPECTS MY WIFE
The throne room smelled like beeswax and old stone, the same smell Emma had scrubbed out of the floor tiles a hundred times. Today it hit her differently. Today she wasn't kneeling in it.Every head turned as she entered. The murmur died in pieces, table by table, like a wave losing its strength before it reached the shore. By the time she reached the center of the room, the silence was total.She kept walking. Her legs remembered the path she'd swept this exact stretch of marble a dozen times, always with her eyes down, always careful not to be seen. Now she walked it upright, and it felt like wearing someone else's skin.Nobles. Dozens of them, dressed for the occasion, dressed to be seen judging her. Emma recognized faces from years of carrying trays past them, invisible then, unbearably visible now.The nobles greeted her one by one, as custom required, and Emma understood within the first three bows that "greeting" was only the word they used for it.She sat in the smaller throne
