DAMON'S POV

Kael’s voice broke through the silence as we moved down the hallway, a quiet blend of curiosity and unease threading through his words. “Where are we going, Dad?” he asked, lifting his gaze toward me with eyes that searched for reassurance.

I didn’t slow my pace. My voice came out clipped, the edge of irritation evident. “Anywhere but here.” The corridor stretched ahead like a tunnel I couldn’t get out of fast enough, the dirty walls echoing the weight of my frustration. My steps were long, hurried, almost aggressive in their determination to put distance between us and the classrooms behind. It wasn’t until I glanced back and noticed the kids scurrying to keep up, Selene practically skipping and Kael struggling to match my stride—that I forced myself to ease the pace, even just slightly.

“But today’s show and tell,” Selene whined, clutching her worn-out stuffed bear tightly against her chest, like it was a sacred relic. Her eyes were round wit

  • TO DENY A LUNA   CHAPTER 104: FATHERS AND FEARS

    VELARA'S POVI rolled my eyes with an exasperated sigh. Alpha Damon was far from being a beloved figure among the rogues, and everyone knew it. Alaric cleared his throat, a subtle nudge for me to admit the truth, and I reluctantly gave in, realizing I couldn’t keep it under wraps any longer.“Yes,” I admitted, tension in my chest, “he’s Kael’s father. He brought him to school for me this morning.”Alaric gave a satisfied nod and crossed his arms, clearly pleased with my honesty. His reaction confused me. I had expected him to show up ready to warn me about staying away from his son, not quietly supporting this messy situation.While the woman on the other end of the call rambled on about school procedures, I barely listened. Something about forms that needed filling out, Damon's ID needing to be submitted—standard protocol. As if anyone could actually make Damon follow rules. The man practically was the law in this city. No one would dare try to s

  • TO DENY A LUNA   CHAPTER 103: LEGACY OF THE MARK

    VELARA'S POVAlaric’s gaze settled on me, sharp and observant, his brows knitting together ever so slightly. “You seem tense,” he remarked, the quiet note in his voice almost an accusation. He leaned forward, the motion deliberate, before he rose fluidly to his feet. Without a word, he extended a hand toward the chair in front of my desk—a silent invitation laced with authority. I didn’t bother to question it. With slow, measured steps, I moved to the chair and lowered myself into it. Alaric mirrored the gesture on the opposite side of the desk, folding into his seat with a composed air that only irritated me further."I’m not surprised you’re here," I said, pulling my phone from my pocket and placing it gently on the desk’s polished surface. My tone was flat, but my words carried an edge. "Let me guess—you came to issue threats? Trying to make sure I keep quiet about Lilith? Don’t want Damon finding out?"His expression tightened, lips thinning as his gaz

  • TO DENY A LUNA   CHAPTER 102: THREE KIDS

    DAMON'S POV"Are you done?" My voice comes out softer than expected, laced with the weight of everything unspoken.Kylie’s response is steady, measured, as though she’s spent the last few moments arriving at a firm decision. “Yes. I trust Velara and Elysia’s judgment when it comes to you,” she says, her tone calm but with an unmistakable edge of finality. Then her voice softens just a little as she adds, “Now, hand the phone to Riley. She won’t go with someone unfamiliar.”I nod in understanding, not bothering to speak. The gravity of her words hangs in the air as I move toward the little girl. Riley looks up at me warily, her posture tense, her small fingers curled around the strap of her bag like it’s an anchor. I crouch slightly and offer her the phone with gentle hands, hoping not to spook her.She hesitates, her gaze flickering between me and the screen, before taking the device with cautious fingers. She doesn’t say much—just a few brief, wh

  • TO DENY A LUNA   CHAPTER 100: DUST AND DISORDER

    DAMON'S POVSelene and Kael eagerly tug me through the dim, deteriorating hallways of their dilapidated school. The grime-streaked floors are scuffed beyond recognition, and I instinctively recoil at the sight, resisting the overwhelming need to scrub them clean on the spot. The classrooms are no improvement. Desks are chipped and splintered, some barely standing. A few students are even sitting on plastic milk crates instead of chairs. I scan my surroundings to make sure we’re really in a school and not in some makeshift shelter.Kael proudly leads me to his desk, which stands out as the only one that looks remotely tidy. From his bag, he pulls out a pristine white tablecloth and begins to set up his workspace with meticulous care. His pencils are laid out in perfect alignment, each one placed deliberately. Meanwhile, Selene dumps her pencil case upside down on her desk without a second thought. I see Kael flinch before casting her a disapproving look and immediat

  • TO DENY A LUNA   CHAPTER 99: ROGUE'S TALK

    VELARA'S POVThe aroma of freshly brewed coffee drifted through the room as Baltazar approached Damon with a respectful tone. “Coffee, sir?” he offered, holding out the steaming cup. Damon gave a small, silent nod of acknowledgment. But before Baltazar could fully retreat, his gaze shifted toward me.“Coff— Wait, what happened to your eyes?” he asked sharply, his voice thick with concern. The half-spoken offer fell away as urgency overtook him. He hurried past the table, knocking a chair askew with a loud scrape and clatter, barely noticing as it toppled behind him.“Allergies,” I replied, keeping my tone level despite the way his worried stare bore into me.Baltazar’s large, calloused fingers suddenly cupped my face, turning it roughly side to side as he examined me like I was made of glass about to crack.From beside me, Elysia let out a scoff—a sharp sound of irritation that cut through the air like a blade. Baltazar’s eyes flicked to
