CHAPTER 69

ELENA’S POV

I stared at Xander's hand covering the report, refusing to look away until he finally understood that I wasn't going to let him decide what I was allowed to know. “Move your hand, Xander,” I told him firmly, keeping my voice low so I wouldn't disturb our sleeping daughter. “If this concerns my bloodline, I deserve to read it.”

“Elena, I know you do,” Xander replied carefully, lifting his hand from the document. “I wasn't trying to disrespect you. I just saw those mark

  • THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED   Chapter 146: ALWAYS, IN EVERY LIFE

    CHAPTER 146 — ALWAYS, IN EVERY LIFEELENA'S POVI rested my head against Xander's chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. For years, I had believed home was a place I could lose if I disappointed the wrong person. Now I understood that home was not the palace, the crown, or the approval of a kingdom. It was the people who stood beside me because they wanted to, the daughter who reached for me without hesitation, and the man who loved me without asking me to become someone else.“Do you ever wonder what our lives would have been like if fate hadn't separated us?” I asked. Xander considered the question. “Sometimes. Maybe we would have found each other sooner. Maybe we would have avoided some of the pain.” He kissed the top of my head. “But I won't pretend I understand why everything happened. I only know that I'm grateful we're here now.” I looked up at him. “So am I.” I squeezed his hands. “Not because the pain was necessary, but because it didn't get to decide how my story

  • THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED   Chapter 145: THE HOME SHE CHOSE

    CHAPTER 145 - THE HOME SHE CHOSEELENA'S POVMonths after the war, Gerafil finally knew what peace felt like. The streets that had once echoed with frightened whispers now rang with laughter, children played beneath the restored palace walls, and families who had lost everything slowly learned how to live again. Standing on the palace balcony with my daughter in my arms, I watched the sunset and realized I no longer felt like a woman waiting for happiness to disappear. For the first time, I believed I was allowed to keep it.“Mommy!” My daughter squealed, reaching toward the gardens where Xander stood talking with Caleb and Kelsey. I laughed as she wriggled in my arms. “You want your father already?” She nodded enthusiastically, stretching both hands toward him. Xander looked up, and the moment he saw us, his serious expression softened. He excused himself from the conversation and crossed the garden, accepting our daughter before kissing my cheek.“She's been looking for you all afte

  • THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED   Chapter 144: THE LIFE SHE CHOSE

    CHAPTER 144 — THE LIFE SHE CHOSEELENA’S POVMonths passed quietly after my coronation, and Gerafil slowly became the kind of place I had once believed only existed in stories. The damaged houses were rebuilt, families returned home, and the streets filled with laughter again. For the first time in years, my days weren't controlled by fear, rejection, or someone else's expectations. I finally had room to simply live.Our daughter changed the most. She grew into a fearless little girl who seemed determined to explore every corner of Gerafil. She chased butterflies through the gardens, climbed anything she could reach, and laughed whenever someone tried catching her. Watching her grow without fear made me grateful for the life we were building, one where she would never question whether she belonged.“You're going to fall.” I called after her as she climbed onto a low stone wall, but she only turned around and laughed before continuing. Xander stood beside me, watching with an amused ex

  • THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED   Chapter 143: HER OWN CROWN

    CHAPTER 143 — HER OWN CROWNELENA’S POVThe coronation hall was filled before I arrived, with warriors standing beside families, elders seated near the ceremonial throne, and children gathered along the edges. I could hear quiet conversations following me as I walked inside with Xander beside me. Everyone had come to witness something that was supposed to represent a new beginning for Gerafil, including me.My eyes moved across the decorated hall until they landed on the ceremonial table beside the throne. An old crown rested there, polished until it shone beneath the golden lights. I stopped walking when I recognized it. My heart tightened because I knew that crown better than anyone in the room, even though I wished I didn't.It was the crown I had worn during the darkest period of my life with Trent. Looking at it brought back memories I had thought were finally buried, memories of expectations, humiliation, and nights when I had wondered whether I would ever become free. For sever

  • THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED   Chapter 142: THE NEW LUNA

    CHAPTER 142 — THE NEW LUNAELENA’S POVThe war was over, but peace did not magically repair everything it had broken. When the fighting ended, I expected to feel relieved, yet seeing Gerafil afterward made me realize there was still so much work waiting for us. Homes had been destroyed, families had been separated, and too many people were carrying wounds nobody could see. I knew I couldn't simply sit inside the palace and watch others rebuild.I began visiting the damaged parts of the pack almost every morning, walking through streets that had once been filled with ordinary life. Some houses had lost their roofs, others had been burned completely, and several families were sleeping in temporary shelters. I listened to their complaints, their fears, and their hopes because rebuilding wasn't only about replacing stones and wooden doors.“We'll help you rebuild this house.” I crouched beside an elderly woman whose home had been destroyed during the fighting. She looked at me with tired

  • THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED   Chapter 141: THE LAST GOODBYE

    CHAPTER 141 — THE LAST GOODBYEELENA’S POVI walked away from Trent without looking back, and for the first time, leaving him didn't feel like losing something. My chest felt strangely light, almost unfamiliar without the weight I had carried for so long. I had spent years wondering whether he regretted hurting me, whether he understood what he had done, and whether his apology could somehow repair everything.But standing there with him had finally made me understand something important. I didn't need his regret anymore. I didn't need his apology, his approval, or even his understanding to prove that what happened to me had been wrong. I knew the truth now. I had always known it somewhere inside myself. I simply hadn't trusted my own voice enough to believe it.Trent's regret could never rewrite those painful years, and his apology couldn't return the woman I had been before everything changed. I had wanted closure from him for so long that I had forgotten closure didn't have to come
