The Demoted Luna Chapter Twenty Two - Liora
Darren's POV The moment we crossed the border, I felt the shift settle into my bones in a way that no words could properly describe, because there are places that recognize you even when you have been away for too long, places that hold your scent, your presence, your authority, and as my feet carried me forward onto familiar ground, I inhaled deeply without meaning to, my chest expanding as though it had been waiting for this moment longer than I had allowed myself to admit.Darien walked beside me in silence for a while, his steps matching mine with an ease that spoke of habit rather than effort, though I could feel his gaze more than once, lingering, studying, measuring, as though he was waiting for something, some explanation that I had not yet given.OkAnd when he finally did, his voice carried that same edge I remembered, though there was something beneath it now, something closer to disbelief than irritation.“How is she alive?” he asked.I did not look at him immediately.Ins
The Demoted Luna Chapter Twenty One - She's Not A Property
Torin's POV The air in the hall did not ease even after the agreement was reached, and though the tension had shifted from confrontation into something quieter, something controlled, it remained present in every glance, in every breath, in the way no one moved too quickly as if the slightest misstep could still undo everything that had just been settled.I remained seated for a moment longer after Nia walked away, my gaze lingering briefly on her retreating figure before I forced myself to look away, because there were still formalities to complete, and I would not allow distraction to show where it could be used against me.Darren stood across from me, his posture relaxed in a way that felt deliberate, his presence steady despite everything that had happened, while Darien remained just slightly behind him, his head tilted in quiet observation as though he was measuring every detail of the room, every shift in expression, every unspoken exchange.I pushed myself to stand.The moment
The Demoted Luna Chapter Twenty - He's Darren's Twin Brother
Nia's POVThe moment he stepped into the hall, I felt it before I allowed myself to show it, that sharp pull in my chest that had nothing to do with pain and everything to do with recognition, because there are faces the mind does not forget no matter how many years pass, no matter how much distance is placed between past and present, and as my eyes settled on him, I knew immediately that this was not going to be a simple negotiation.I did not look away.I let my gaze rest on him fully, taking in the familiar arrogance in the way he carried himself, the slight tilt of his head, the controlled confidence in his steps, and when his eyes finally met mine, I saw it there, that same mocking spark that had always irritated me, that same unspoken challenge that had never once softened.My lips curved slowly.“Beta Darien Hendres,” I called out, my voice cutting cleanly through the room, drawing every attention back to me as I held his gaze without hesitation. “Welcome to the Blood Thorne pa
The Demoted Luna Chapter Nineteen - Beta Darien
Torin’s POV The weight of the moment did not settle gradually, it came all at once, pressing against my chest in a way that made it difficult to separate the pain already there from the tension building in the room, and as the guard’s words lingered in the air, I could feel every pair of eyes shifting, calculating, waiting for a command that could tilt everything in one direction or another.Narek stepped closer to me, his movement controlled but urgent, his voice lowered just enough to keep it between us, though the tension around us made every word feel louder than it was.“What should be done?” he asked.I opened my mouth to respond.Then my body betrayed me.The ground did not move, yet it felt as though it shifted beneath my feet, my balance faltering just slightly as the sharp pain in my chest flared again, stronger than before, forcing my breath to hitch as I staggered back a fraction, my hand instinctively moving to steady myself.But before I could fully regain control, she w
The Demoted Luna Chapter Eighteen - They Will Wage War
Torin's POV I remained in my office longer than I should have, though I told myself it was because there were matters that needed attention, reports that needed reviewing, decisions that could not be delayed, but the truth sat somewhere quieter, somewhere less convenient, and I chose not to name it as I leaned back slightly in my chair, my fingers resting against the armrest while I allowed my eyes to close for just a moment.Every time I allowed myself to drift, the same images returned with an insistence that bordered on irritation, and I found myself seeing her again, standing there, her expression steady, her voice firm, her hand pulling free from mine without hesitation as though the weight of my authority meant nothing in that moment.My jaw tightened slightly.I exhaled slowly.“You are distracted,” a quiet voice within me murmured, though I ignored it as I shifted slightly in my seat, my chest tightening just enough to remind me of the earlier pain, though I pushed it aside a
The Demoted Luna Chapter Seventeen - The Assassins
Darren's POV The weight of the chains did not bother me as much as the silence did, because silence had a way of stretching time into something that pressed against the mind, and as I sat there with my back resting against the cold wall, my hands bound and my legs restricted, I found myself listening more than thinking, my senses extending beyond the room, searching for anything that did not belong, anything that might break the stillness that had settled too comfortably around me.I tilted my head slightly, my gaze drifting toward the window as I watched the faint movement of the curtains, the night air slipping in through the narrow opening, and I allowed my breathing to remain steady, controlled, even though there was a part of me that refused to relax, a part that had learned long ago that confinement never meant safety.“They believe this is enough,” I murmured to myself, my lips curving faintly as I shifted my wrist against the chain, testing it again, feeling the resistance, m
The Demoted Luna Chapter Eleven - He's Not A Hostage
Nia’s POV The council chamber was already filled by the time I arrived, the low murmur of voices weaving through the space in a way that told me this meeting would not be as straightforward as the previous ones, because there was a certain tension in the air that had nothing to do with strategy or
The Demoted Luna Chapter Fourteen - Seize Him!!!
Torin’s POVI was still in my office when everything began to unravel in a way that did not feel like coincidence, and I remember the exact moment because I had just picked up the envelope my Beta brought in, the one carrying the official confirmation for the children’s enrollment, and I had been s
The Demoted Luna Chapter Thirteen - The Slap
Nia’s POV The day had been steady, almost too steady, the kind of quiet that never truly meant peace but instead carried something beneath it that waited for the right moment to surface, and I moved through my rounds with that awareness sitting quietly at the back of my mind as I checked on the tr
The Demoted Luna Chapter Twelve - You Came!!
Darren’s POV Time moved differently when a man was locked away with nothing but his thoughts and the sound of his own breathing to remind him that he was still alive, and in the days that followed Nia’s last visit, I found myself measuring the hours not by the shifting of light, since there was no
