Elara's POV

Initially, Ryker and Kael barely let me do anything. They kept insisting that I needed to rest and that there was no reason for me to concern myself with every little pack matter. If something was minor, they might let me handle it. A logistics review here, a supply reroute there. But anything they considered too demanding was immediately taken out of my hands.

It drove me insane.

I had been a Luna before. I knew how to manage a pack, organize supplies, deal with administrative matt

    The words left a bitter taste in my mouth. Calling her Luna still made me feel sick."Good afternoon, dear. Please, sit down."I hesitated before taking the chair opposite her.Stella studied me for a moment, then glanced at her attendants. "You may stay."Both women took their positions behind her."I wanted to speak with you about what happened this morning," Stella began. Her voice was gentle, but her eyes were anything but. "I hope you understand why I was concerned."I folded my hands in my lap. "I understand that you were surprised, my lady.""Surprised?" She gave a small, humourless laugh. "I walked into Kael's room and found you in his bed. What would you have thought if you were in my position?"I lowered my head. "Alpha Kael instructed me to stay in his room last night. I didn't know he intended to sleep beside me.""Of course," Stella murmured. "You were only following instructions."Her attendants shifted behind her, clearly unimpressed by my explanation.Stella continued,

  • The Banished Luna's Awakening   The Perfect Setup.-1

    Elara's POVThe moment I returned to the servants' quarters, I knew I was going to have an interesting day. Kael had slept for more than ten hours with me in his arms. Even after waking, he hadn't seemed particularly eager to put some distance between us. In fact, if Stella hadn't walked in when she did, I suspected he might have found another excuse to keep me in his room.I couldn't have planned it better.For months, I had watched Stella use the brothers' affection to secure her position. She had known exactly how to make herself appear vulnerable whenever one of them began paying attention to me. A tear here, a frightened look there, and suddenly I was the one expected to apologise for upsetting her. Now, she was watching Kael give his attention to another woman.Not that she knew who I really was, of course. To her, I was only a new maid who had somehow managed to get too close to one of the Alphas. But that was enough to make her uncomfortable, and I knew Stella well enough to u

  • The Banished Luna's Awakening   Salvatore-2

    He held a small, palm-sized mirror in one hand, tilting it slightly to examine his reflection.His long, dark hair fell neatly around his face, framing a pair of striking crimson eyes. His skin was unnaturally pale, smooth and flawless, with a sharp jawline and high cheekbones that gave his face an almost sculpted perfection. His nose was straight, his lips full, and his features were so balanced that even the harshest light seemed unable to find a flaw.He was extraordinarily handsome.Not merely attractive by human standards, but the kind of beautiful that made people hesitate before looking directly at him. There was something almost unnatural about his appearance, something that reminded anyone who saw him that he was not human.His tall, powerful frame was dressed in a black embroidered coat, its silver buttons catching the light. A dark ring adorned one of his fingers, and a thin silver chain rested against his chest.He examined his reflection from one angle, then another. Fina

    The exact millisecond the latch clicked, Stella’s fierce, confrontational mask completely disintegrated. Her lower lip began to quiver violently, and she clutched a trembling hand over her chest, her eyes welling up with sudden tears. "Kael, please... I was only trying to enforce basic discipline," she whined, her voice cracking into a pitiful tremble.I just stared at her, an absolute bone-deep exhaustion washing over me."Certain boundaries have to be established," she pressed on, taking a shuddering step forward, her tone spiraling into distress. "If we don't nip this in the bud, these maids are going to start harboring all kinds of improper, pathetic delusions. They're hired to serve this pack, not crawl into their Alpha's bed the second they think nobody is paying attention!"A dry, bitter scoff ripped right out of my throat. "Don't make me laugh."Her eyes went wide, hurt flashing across her tear-stained face. "Kael! I'm genuinely just concerned about—""My private affairs are a

    Every last trace of my good mood evaporated on the spot. I shot Stella a cold, venomous glare, fighting to keep the irritation surging in my chest from boiling over into a roar. How many damn times had I explicitly ordered her to knock before barging into my private wing?This wasn't even the first time she had waltzed right into my master suite as if she owned the place. She honestly seemed to believe that being Lucien’s mate granted her a golden ticket to walk over every boundary in this packhouse.It was getting harder and harder not to snap her neck.The only reason I hadn't properly put her in her place months ago was out of raw respect for Lucien. And now, with his child growing inside her, I had to walk on even thinner eggshells regarding how I handled her constant insolence.But that sure as hell didn't mean I had to stomach her behavior.The exact millisecond Maren realized who was standing in the doorway, she yanked her wrist clean out of my grip and practically scrambled ba

    Before I could drag a single syllable out of my throat, she slammed both palms flat against my chest.And shoved.Hard.I didn't see it coming for a second. My balance was already completely shot from trying to sneak off the edge, and the next thing I knew, gravity took over and I was airborne, pitching straight off the side of the massive four-poster bed. I hit the hardwood floor with an absolute, house-shaking thud.For a second, I just lay flat on my back, staring up at the plaster ceiling, totally stunned.What the actual hell just happened?A sharp, panicked gasp echoed from the top of the mattress."Oh my moon!"I rolled my head over.Maren was scrambling to her knees, both hands clamped firmly over her mouth. The sheer, unadulterated horror painted across her face was so intense I almost forgot I’d just been violently launched off my own furniture. "Alpha! I'm so sorry!" she blurted out, her voice pitching up an octave. "I didn't mean to! I swear on my life I didn't mean to pus

    LARAI opened my eyes to a white ceiling.The room was spacious and spotless, and the sharp scent of medicine lingering in the air told me immediately that I was in a clinic. I pushed myself upright, but the nauseating smell twisted my stomach violently.A soft hand rested against my back before I

    My heart rate rose sharply, despite being in a near-unconscious state. I've always been afraid of the dark. A natural phenomenon that werewolves loved and eagerly anticipated. The endless shadows between the trees, the suffocating silence, the feeling that something unseen was always watching... it

    Selene didn’t speak at first.She simply stood there, her expensive heels planted firmly in my line of vision, the faint scent of her rose perfume cutting through the damp, soapy air of the laundry room. I kept my head down, my raw fingers still moving mechanically over the last sheet, scrubbing ev

    Overnight, everything had changed.I was no longer allowed to sleep in the bedroom I once shared with Matteo. Instead, I was ordered to move to the maids’ quarters.
