That evening, I discovered that every muscle in my body was beyond fucked. My arms ached, my legs burned, and my ribs felt like they'd been violently rearranged.

Rowan had called it "light training." If that was light, I was afraid of what heavy looked like.

Still, I dragged myself through the motions of Luna duty, which mostly meant pretending to supervise while other people actually did useful things like rebuilding the burned council room and courtyard.

Lyra wasn't around, thank God, but that didn't mean that the rest of the day was going to be peaceful. Because of course, I eventually went back to my room to try and recover, and that was when Kieran found me.

He stepped into my room like he owned it, which he technically did. His dark eyes scanned me up and down, and I swear he could smell the exhaustion rolling off me before his gaze narrowed at the faint bruises showing across my forearms.

"What happened to you?" His voice was deadly calm.

I forced a smile. "Tripped. You k

  • The Billionaire Who Bought Me The Moon   Chapter 121 - Strut

    Every time I tried to stay focused, something was bound to come up and distract me. I reminded myself I had only one goal, to leave this place forever and never come back. And to do that, I had to stop making these people my problem, because what exactly was I going to do about their god-damned mole? I'd already tried the library earlier with no luck, but it looked like I had to try again. There had to be something there about a way out of here. I took the familiar path to the dusty library and I slipped inside, hoping no one would notice me sneaking away from all the hammering and growling outside. It wasn't like I was doing anything useful out there anyway. If anything, I decided the most useful thing I could do was figure out how to not die in this world. But before I could start going through the shelves, I heard a strange shuffling sound, like someone was trying to cover their tracks. I stopped to listen, but then the sound stopped. Then, after a long pause, the door cre

    "No. I will never let you reject me for this nobody." Lyra's voice shouted, pointing her finger straight at me. She stepped fully towards us with her chin high and her red hair catching the light. For once, the elegance in her every movement couldn't hide the rage rolling off her. Rowan shifted, but his hand stayed wrapped around me. "Lyra..." "Don't," she snapped, her voice trembling just enough to betray the crack beneath. "Don't you dare pretend this means nothing. I've stood by your side, I have carried the bond the goddess forced upon me, and I have endured your coldness. And now I find you..." she gestured at me, "...throwing it all away for her?" I bristled. "I'm right here, you know. If you're going to call me names, at least have the guts to do it to my face." Her gaze shifted to me. "Fine. You don't belong here. You don't belong with him. You are a mistake the goddess will soon correct." "Funny," I shot back, folding my arms, "because last I checked, your bond hasn't

  • The Billionaire Who Bought Me The Moon   Chapter 118 - When In Doubt, Run And Hide

    Rowan shifted his weight subtly, his arm still hovering near my waist like he wasn’t sure if he should pull me closer or step back. Meanwhile, Serenya took two steps forward into the candlelight, her dark robes swishing against the floor. She bowed her head just enough to acknowledge me. “Luna. May the Moon Goddess's favour be upon you.” Her voice was respectful, but the undertone Iris could hear the disapproving tone in it all the same. “Serenya,” Rowan said quietly. “It's late. What brings you here?” She didn’t answer him right away, swept the room once again, stopping at his grip around her waist, before she finally looked him squarely in the face. “Alpha Rowan. With my deepest respect, your people need you on patrol tonight and Marcus is currently doubling his route to cover for you. I suggest that you please reconsider spending valuable time here, with someone else's mate.” Rowan’s jaw flexed with annoyance before shaking his head, annoyed that even though he didn't want t

    I knew right then and there that the kiss should have ended when it started, as just a brush of lips stolen in anger and exhaustion, but it didn't. It didn’t, and it dragged me under instead, the fire of it burning too hot for words. His mouth pressed harder against mine like he was starving, as though I was the only thing that could ever keep him alive.I gasped when his hand slid deeper into my hair, pulling deliciously tight until my head tipped back, his teeth grazing my bottom lip in a way that made my whole body shiver."God, Kieran," I whispered breathlessly, the sound breaking between a laugh and a moan, before I immediately shut up. My cheeks burned as I blushed with embarrassment. I wasn’t even aware I could make that sort of sound.His growl vibrated through me as he answered, "Say it again.""Hmm, Kieran," I teased him, this time deliberately husky, even though my knees were turning to water underneath me.His lips curved against mine, but this time there was no trace of

  • The Billionaire Who Bought Me The Moon   Chapter 116 - Grow A Spine

    She sat there for a long moment to think about her life, staring at the dead computer screen and the empty, echoing silence of the lab. Her cheek still burned where Claire had slapped her, and her scalp still ached from where fingers had torn at her hair, and somewhere deep in her chest, humiliation ate her the hell up. But beneath all of that, beneath the fear, beneath the shame, beneath the sick, tight ache of failure, something older stirred.Samantha Torres had survived far worse people than some secretary.She'd survived poverty, stalkers, and a gang of kidnappers. She'd survived Michaela's antics and embarrassment, having the entire country, even the Mayor, turn on her and make her a public laughingstock online. She even had to handle Tiffany Langley and her accusations. She'd been to prison for fucks sake!Sure, Claire was nasty and vicious, but Claire was not anything new to Samantha, and when it came down to it, she was definitely not unbeatable.Her parents hadn't raised
