Rhea’s POV

I frowned weakly as I forced my eyes open. My entire body felt unbearably heavy, like I had been dragged out from the depths of a long, endless slumber.

The room was dark, illuminated only by the soft amber glow of the lampshade beside the bed. Beyond the tall windows, faint moonlight spilled quietly across the floor, painting silver against the shadows.

How long have I been sleeping?

I stilled when my hand accidentally brushed against something warm.

I turned to find out what it was

  • Rejected for a Fake Luna   64. ALPHA'S SECRET

    Rhea's POVI followed closely behind Koen without saying a word, still wondering what he wanted to tell me—or what he intended to show me.He led me away from the village and toward the far end of Celestia, where the cottages slowly gave way to tall trees and quiet open land.Only when we reached the edge of the Pack did I finally see it.A small chamber stood alone beneath the trees, hidden so far from the rest of Celestia that no one would have expected to find it there.I glanced at Koen, waiting for him to explain, but he simply continued toward the chamber, so I swallowed my questions and followed after him.Koen opened the door and stepped inside.I stopped at the entrance and peered into the darkness. I could barely make out the shape of the room beyond him.Then a match flared to life between his fingers.The small flame lit his face as he moved from one candle to another. Slowly, a warm glow spread through the chamber, pushing back the darkness and revealing the quiet space w

  • Rejected for a Fake Luna   63. TRUE FAMILY

    Rhea's POVI tightened the leather strap around the last travel bag, securing everything we would be bringing for the journey inside the carriage.I took a step back and looked over our belongings.There wasn’t much.Aside from a few changes of clothes, nearly every bag was filled with dried meat, bread, water flasks, medicinal herbs, and other travel essentials. We had packed only what we needed to survive the journey and nothing more.Koen had insisted that we travel light.At first, I thought he was simply trying to make the trip easier on the horses. But as I looked at our modest supplies now, I don't think this would even last us for a week. This was not only about traveling light. Koen had agreed to go, but the few things inside the carriage showed that he still did not want to stay in Drakhar for long.We had packed enough for the road, but not enough for a long stay. It felt as though Koen wanted us ready to leave the moment the council trial was over.The problem was, none

  • Rejected for a Fake Luna   62. GREAT PLAN

    Artavius’s POV“We received a letter from Drakhar Pack.” A warrior hurried toward me with the sealed envelope in hand.I rose at once and took it from him, my pulse quickening beneath my skin.For days, I had waited for this letter.Every morning, I asked whether Drakhar had finally sent a letter. I had ordered the guards to bring it directly to me the moment it arrived, yet the waiting still consumed me.Some nights, I couldn't sleep. Even during work, I find it so hard to focus. I just couldn't wait to hear the news. I tore open the envelope and unfolded the letter, my eyes racing across the page.Then I saw the confirmation. Pack Celestia would attend and Rhea would be there.A wide smile spread across my face before I could stop it. Finally, I'm going to see her again. Alpha Zevran’s plan truly worked perfectly. The recent surge in rogue attacks had given us exactly what we needed. Because Celestia openly sheltered rogues, it hadn’t taken much to convince the other Alphas that

  • Rejected for a Fake Luna   61. NO MORE RUNNING

    Rhea’s POVThe warmth inside the little cottage seemed to vanish the moment Sandra held out the sealed letter.Koen barely glanced at the crest stamped into the wax before his expression darkened.“Didn’t I give a direct order to burn every letter from Drakhar Pack?” he demanded. “I already made it clear that I don’t want to see anything from them.”His voice cut through the room with such unexpected sharpness that unease crept through me.I stared at him, stunned by how quickly his mood had changed. Only moments ago, he had been smiling, his expression warm and almost boyishly excited. But at the mere mention of Drakhar Pack, every trace of that warmth vanished.His jaw tightened, his shoulders stiffened, and something cold settled over his features.The change was so sudden that it felt as though I were looking at a different person. I couldn't help, but wonder what was wrong. Seeing Koen tense like this is a rare sight. I had always known Koen as a guy filled with positive energy

  • Rejected for a Fake Luna   60. HOME AT LAST

    Rhea's POV“Where are you taking me?” I asked as Koen led me farther down a quiet woodland path.The sounds of the training grounds gradually faded behind us, replaced by birdsong and the gentle rustling of leaves overhead.Koen glanced back at me, a grin tugging at the corners of his lips. “Just trust me.”I narrowed my eyes at him. "You did not answer my question."“I will in a minute. We are almost there."The path curved around a grove of towering pines before opening into a peaceful clearing.I stopped on my tracks.Nestled at its center stood a modest stone cottage. It wasn’t grand like the Alpha’s manor, nor was it meant to be.A small wooden porch overlooked a garden where freshly planted wildflowers swayed in the breeze. A stone pathway led to the front door, while a narrow stream flowed quietly behind the cottage, disappearing into the forest beyond. Young fruit trees lined the edge of the property, their leaves dancing beneath the afternoon sun.Everything about the place f

  • Rejected for a Fake Luna   59. TRAINING PROGRESS

    Rhea’s POVA faint smile tugged at my lips as I watched the warriors move through their drills.They had come a long way.Before I took over their training, half of them could barely maintain formation through a single exercise. Now, they moved as though they shared the same heartbeat, each warrior instinctively covering another’s blind spot before an opening could be exploited.They were dedicated, disciplined, and eager to improve. All I had done was recognize the potential already within them and push them until they learned how to use it.Watching them now brought back memories of Valcrest.I had trained its warriors in much the same way. I had watched them struggle, improve, and eventually become one of the strongest fighting forces among the Packs.Seeing that same transformation unfolding here in Celestia stirred something familiar inside me.It reminded me why I had chosen this path in the first place.Not to become Luna.Not to stand beside an Alpha.But to shape warriors str
