The terrifying whisper echoed inside my soul like a deafening, inescapable death sentence.

I am already pregnant. I am carrying his firstborn heir. If this curse is real... I am already a dead woman walking.

I sat completely frozen on my knees beside the medical cot, the sterile white walls of the infirmary blurring before my eyes. My hand remained flat over my stomach beneath the heavy linen sheets, my fingers trembling violently as a suffocating, icy dread paralyzed my lungs. My entire univers

  • Rise of the Forbidden Luna   Chapter 78: The Final Execution

    The air in the obsidian chamber shattered instantly as Lilith raised her hands and unleashed a torrent of fire that whipped from her fingertips like a swarm of vipers."Get behind me, Aria!" Marcus roared.Before the dark magic could touch the hem of my travel cloak, my father lunged in front of me. His heavy silver shield absorbed the brunt of the witch’s blast with a deafening metallic crack, sending sparks like purple and black rain cascading across the stone floorboards. Marcus didn't hesitate. Gripping his broadsword with white-knuckled fury, he charged straight through the smoke, using his raw warrior strength to tackle Lilith against the far wall and shatter her spell lines.With the witch occupied, the space between the heavy doors cleared, leaving me face-to-face with the real serpent, Sienna. "Die, you miserable freak!" Sienna screamed.Her face was distorted by bloodthirsty rage as she lunged directly at me, her dark steel blade whistling through the freezing air. I forced

  • Rise of the Forbidden Luna   Chapter 77: A Ghost's Final Breath

    The freezing mountain wind howled through the jagged, dark stone ravines, tearing at the edges of my velvet travel cloak. Pushing through the shooting pains that still pulsed across my abdomen from the brutal ride, I walked shoulder-to-shoulder with my father, Marcus, as we approached the hidden heart of the northern pass.Nestled into the vertical rock face of a sheer cliff sat Lilith's hidden coven house, a dark, imposing fortress built from ancient obsidian stone that seemed to swallow the light around it. It was heavily draped in the foul, suffocating scent of dark magic. Following the trail mapped out in the pages of the Sovereign Lexicon, we walked through a narrow fissure in the rear foundation wall. We turned down a long, narrow corridor, tracking a dark magical heat until we reached a set of doors.Marcus pushed the doors open, and we stepped into a vaulted chamber filled with floating candles that burned with an eerie, green flame. At the very center of the room, hovering in

  • Rise of the Forbidden Luna   Chapter 76: The Sovereign Lexicon

    I didn’t wait for the sun to fully rise over the peaks of Crystalvale. Pushing the heavy silk sheets aside, a cold sweat broke across my skin, the memory of my mother’s desperate, silver eyes burning holes into my mind. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't waste a single second. Throwing a heavy velvet travel cloak over my nightgown, I stepped out into the chilly corridor and grabbed the first waking castle servant I could find, instructing them to rouse my father immediately and tell him to meet me at the stables with two horses.When I stumbled into the courtyard, the morning fog hung low and suffocating. My father, Marcus, was already there. His brow was pulled into a tight, worried scowl as he threw the saddle over a massive stallion."Aria," Marcus murmured, his deep voice hushed, though it vibrated with an underlying panic as he took in my pale face and trembling hands. "The servant said you looked frantic. What is it? Is it the babies? Are you in labor?""The babies are safe, Dad," I

  • Rise of the Forbidden Luna   Chapter 75: A Beautiful Lie In the Dark  

    An unusual warmth covered the grand territory of Crystalvale, chasing away the usual mountain chill from the Citadel’s stone walls. Two weeks had passed since the bloody night Alpha Jaxon was killed in the courtyard, and the dark witch Lilith fled into the shadows with a grieving Sienna. For the first time in forever, a deep peace settled over our kingdom. Pack artisans were already rebuilding the broken perimeter shields, and the gentle summer rain had finally washed away the heavy scent of war.I breathed in the pine-scented air as I walked along the palace garden paths. The late afternoon sun warmed my skin, casting long shadows over the rosebushes. On the head physician's strict orders, I took these walks daily to stay active. My winter due date was only three months away. Carrying quadruplets was testing my physical limits.My hands rested over my large, round stomach. I smiled softly as I felt the healthy flutters of the pups inside me. They were quiet today, calmed by the rhythm

  • Rise of the Forbidden Luna   Chapter 74: Blood Upon the Silver Shields

    "Formations! Hold the line!" Ethan’s voice cut through the chaos like a whip, his arms slashing through the air as he barked orders to his frontline commanders. "Archers, take the high ledges! Shadow casters, reinforce the inner gates now! Do not let them breach the courtyard!" Down below, the commanders repeated his orders, and the sea of silver armor shifted seamlessly into a defensive wall, shields locking together with a heavy, metallic crash.Ethan turned to me, his dark eyes burning with worry as he gripped my shoulders. "Aria, you're too weak, stay here on the balcony where the guards can cover you."I looked down at the courtyard, then back at my mate, my jaw tightening as my inner wolf bared her fangs. Stay behind, while our people bleed for our sake? Never. "I don't feel weak, Ethan," I said, my voice steady despite the tremor in my limbs. "I am the Alpha Queen of this pack, and I will not watch this war from a safe distance. I am coming down." Before he could argue, I step

  • Rise of the Forbidden Luna   Chapter 73: The Crown and the Cradle

    The icy chill left behind by Lilith’s dark magic didn't fade from the obsidian war room. Instead, it clung to the stone walls like a layer of frost, turning our breaths into thick, white plumes of mist. I lay propped against the velvet cushions, my hands pressing heavily over my stomach as a burning, agonizing pain pulsed deep within my veins. The gold-and-sapphire crown of Crystalvale felt like a heavy weight upon my head, a stark reminder that a queen does not have the luxury of showing weakness when her kingdom is under siege.Beside me, Ethan was a towering silhouette of absolute fury. His massive chest expanded with heavy, ragged breaths, and the primal, predatory growl vibrating in his chest was so loud it made the glass inkwells on the table rattle."Where are they?" Ethan roared, his fierce amber eyes flashing with a murderous light as he spun toward the double doors of the room. "Bring the royal physicians now."Within seconds, the doors burst open, and three elderly pack doc

    The room he chose was my father's private study.Which was not his room. Which was not his packhouse, his territory, or his anything. He walked into it anyway, with the unhurried certainty of a man who understood that ownership was largely a matter of perspective, and held the door open for me with

  • Rise of the Forbidden Luna   Chapter 4: The Encounter

    The heavy oak doors of the packhouse library slammed shut, cutting off the deafening roar of the crowd outside. But the silence inside this room was far more dangerous."What do you think you are doing, Aria?" My father’s voice vibrated with a terrifying, low growl. His eyes, usually a calm brown,

  • Rise of the Forbidden Luna   Chapter 3: The Grand Public Rejection

    The amber in his eyes lasted only a fleeting moment. Then Ethan Voss straightened to his full, imposing height, and the careful, controlled mask of a king settled back over his features like armor clicking into place. He turned from me to address the frozen room with the same unhurried authority he

  • Rise of the Forbidden Luna   Chapter 2: The Color of Defiance

    I stood at that window for exactly sixty seconds after his gaze released me. Then I turned away from the glass, walked to my bedroom door, and locked it. The soft click of the bolt was the most powerful sound I had made in twenty-one years.I crossed to the bed where the white dress was already lai
