Ronan didn’t say a word as we walked through the halls.

The moment we reached my wing, he paused. His hand lingered on the heavy door, eyes searching mine with that unreadable, calculated calm he always wore when he was trying to restrain himself from speaking.

Lucien’s scent still clung to my skin like poison.

Even with Ronan beside me, I could still feel Lucien’s body pressing against mine.

Damn him.

Damn me.

“You let him get too close, Aria.” he finally said.

I yanked my hand away from him, I knew he was right but my pride wouldn't let me admit it. “Don’t start, Ronan.”

“He gets under your skin. You let him crawl into your head again, and you’re letting him control you from within”

“I don’t need the lecture tonight.” My voice was lower and less firm than I'd wanted. “Not from you.”

For a moment, there was silence. Then his voice softened, almost breaking me.

He closed the space between us, his tone like velvet. “I’m trying to remind you of who the hell you are

  • The Heart of the Queen: Legacy of The Moonborn   °•♡Chapter 49~ Her Throne, Her Rules

    The doors of the Citadel’s High Council chamber groaned open under the weight of centuries, the echo of my entrance carried through the hall like thunder.I stepped through, every footstep was deliberate. The room was already filled—Alphas, Betas, council elders, and clan heads—yet it fell utterly still the moment they saw me.Eyes widened.Backs straightened.Conversations ceased mid-sentence.I'd worn a gown of deep violet, like the color of a night sky before the stars emerged. It was fitted at the waist, and embroidery of the Moonborn crest traced down from my collarbone to the hem. The dress train glided over the ground behind me.It wasn’t just fashion. It was a statement. Authority. Warning.Ronan was already seated across the room beside my seat—my rightful place. His eyes found mine immediately, unreadable but he didn’t need to speak. His presence was enough.I walked with poise, the gown enhancing rather than restraining me. I stopped just inside the circle of the chamber.

  • The Heart of the Queen: Legacy of The Moonborn   °•♡Chapter 48~ The Storm Beneath

    Lucien stood just outside the Citadel gates as I caught up to Aria. His posture was regal, eyes shadowed in calm arrogance. The kind that masked obsession. I didn’t like the look on his face, I liked it even less when he stared at her.“I’m here on the High Council's request,” Lucien said, his tone too casual for my liking. “They called for an emergency session regarding the rogue attacks on the border packs. They've been escalating.”I had been notified of attacks on a few other border packs, small in size, much like Driftwood. The attacks were escalating. What I didn't expect was for the Council to call a meeting without notifying me or Aria. Aria crossed her arms. “No one informed me of this meeting.”“Emergency,” he repeated with a shrug. “They probably didn’t have time.”She turned toward me, seemingly sensing my arrival. “Did you know about this?”I shook my head. “No. They do call emergency sessions sometimes without full notice,” I said, though my voice was harder than I inte

  • The Heart of the Queen: Legacy of The Moonborn   °•♡Chapter 47~ Glimmers of Power

    Metal clanged across the empty training grounds as my blade struck Ronan’s cleanly, each strike echoing like thunder. The sun above was practically scorching, but I barely felt the heat. My body moved on instinct—faster, stronger.Ronan grunted as I twisted under his guard and sent his sword flying a few paces away. He stared at me, slightly put of breath, then gave a short, surprised laugh.“Well, damn.”I wiped the sweat from my forehead, breathing hard. “What?”“You keep moving like that, Aria, and you’d be able to take me in real combat.” He bent to retrieve his sword, his brow furrowing as he stood again. “Especially if I was caught off guard.”A small smile played around my lips, but it didn’t quite reach my eyes. “I don't want to fight against you in real combat.”“That’s not the point,” he said, inspecting his blade against the light before sheathing it. “You keep getting stronger. Sharper. And it’s not just training. That amount of power comes from within.”Before I could res

  • The Heart of the Queen: Legacy of The Moonborn   °•♡Chapter 46~ Fractures in the Truth

    “About what parts?” I questioned, keeping my voice levelled.Her lips parted, she seemed conflicted, struggling with what words to say.“Thank you,” she said softly, her voice rough from pain. “For not leaving me down there.”I could sense the guilt in her words, it only put me further on edge. Was she really a spy?“I wouldn’t have,” I said simply. “But I need you to tell me the truth now, Ansel. All of it.”She hesitated again, a flicker of wariness darting through her eyes. But then she nodded, lowering her gaze.“I wasn’t entirely honest,” she began slowly. “I told you I was from Driftwood pack, and that’s true. But I didn’t mention who I was there.”She paused. I said nothing, just waited.“I was the Alpha’s daughter,” she whispered. “The only child of Alpha Marius and Luna Elaine.”I blinked, hiding my surprise. That changed things. Ansel glanced up at me, gauging my reaction before continuing.“When the rogues came, they didn’t just ravage the pack to kill—they conquered. They t

  • The Heart of the Queen: Legacy of The Moonborn   °•♡Chapter 45~ Justified Doubt

    The further we moved into the main areas of the citadel, we reached the guards and quickly summoned the healers. Ansel was moved to a different care room. The healers moved quickly to stabilize her. She was losing blood fast. My eyes fixed on the thick crimson which had soaked through the fabric of her dress. I could barely hear her breathing, and it was frightening partly because she was the only credible witness to the invasion and because she'd protected my children when I'd already ruled her off as a spy.Ronan stood at the door, jaw tight. I didn't need a mind reader to know that he was still unconvinced. I didn’t blame him. There was still a lot that didn't make sense.The guards were still searching the territory for the intruder, and security within and without had been tightened. But for now, my priority was the twins.They sat on the bed, one on either side of me, their small faces still pale. I had my hands around their shoulders, cradling them to me as I stroked their h

  • The Heart of the Queen: Legacy of The Moonborn   °•♡Chapter 44~ Inside the Tunnel

    The tunnel seemed to swallow us as we descended into the narrow passage. There was barely enough space for Ronan to walk upright ahead of me. The further we went, the colder it grew. My senses were on high. My nose twitched, picking up a scent—A musty metallic tang with a mix of wet earth—and Nyra stirred restlessly inside me. "This way," I whispered. My hand brushed up against the wall. Ronan followed without question. “This place is older than the Citadel above,” Ronan said, his voice low, echoing off the walls. “The tunnels were carved centuries ago, maybe older. Some say they were escape routes. Others… that they were prisons.” “Why haven’t they been sealed off?” I asked. “They tried,” he said, his expression grim. “But the tunnels, they lead everywhere. Beneath the throne room, the west gardens… even the crypts. No one knows how many exits there are or how many entrances. Not even the High Council.” The implication of his words my made my skin crawl. "Convenient," I muttere
