The Hybrid Luna birthright Chapter 21
Brail’s POVI sat at the table in the council chamber and tried to keep my eyes open as the Beta droned on about the new tax strategy for the southern territories. My eyelids felt heavier than the crown I was destined to wear and the words floated around me without landing as I had not slept a wink since leaving Melyn’s house last night. My mind had been consumed with a toxic mix of anger and longing for a woman who had vanished like smoke."The proposed tariff on wool exports will increase revenue by fifteen percent," Trad argued from across the table while pointing at the ledger with surprising vigor given our late night. "However it will likely cause unrest among the farmers who are already struggling with the drought and cannot afford another hit to their profits."I rested my chin on my hand and let my eyes drift shut for just a second because the darkness was a relief from the glaring sun streaming through the high windows. I saw Aria’s face in the dark and heard her laugh."Bra

Rashi’s POVI dragged my aching body out of the narrow cot as the morning bell tolled through the corridors. Every muscle screamed in protest against the movement and the memory of the Luna’s touch made my skin crawl with phantom sensations. I splashed icy water onto my face from the basin to chase away the exhaustion but the hollow feeling in my chest remained like a heavy stone.I pulled on my rough grey uniform and flinched as the coarse fabric rubbed against the fresh bruises on my hips and thighs. I buttoned the tunic all the way to my chin to hide the marks and stepped out into the bustling common room where the other servants were already rushing about.I joined the line in the scullery and picked up a heavy sack of flour to begin the morning baking prep. My arms trembled under the weight but I forced myself to move because weakness was not an option here."Rashi!" a guard barked from the doorway causing everyone to jump. "Madam Lysca wants you in the main kitchen immediately."

Brail’s POVI sat at my desk and stared at the final report on the perimeter defenses while forcing myself to read the words one last time. I had spent the entire day playing the role of the diligent heir and nodding at council members while pretending to care about grain storage and border disputes."Finished," I muttered as I signed the bottom of the parchment and rolled it up.I placed the seal on the wax and finally allowed my shoulders to drop. I had done my duty so now no one could accuse me of being distracted or negligent.I ate dinner alone in my chambers as I could not stomach another formal meal with my parents where Mother would complain about her perfume and Father would quiz me on strategy. I pushed the roasted venison around my plate and barely tasted the wine."Sleep," I told myself as I stripped off my robe and climbed into bed. "Just sleep and forget about her."I closed my eyes and tried to clear my mind but the darkness behind my eyelids was not empty. I saw blue s

Rashi's POV“Oh no, sweetie, I was just busy with Rashi,” the Luna answered him.“Maybe I misheard. I'll be in my room.” He turned instantly and walked out the door. I felt a surge of relief wash over me, he hadn't connected the dots between the bruised servant and the bold Aria from last night.But that relief shattered when I turned and saw Luna Saira already shedding her robe. The fabric pooled at her feet, exposing her naked form. She fixed me with a gaze that promised no escape."Lock the door, Rashi," she ordered, her voice laced with authority that brooked no delay.I hesitated, my mind raced with pleas I knew would fall on deaf ears. "Please, my Luna, don't do this."She stepped closer, "Lock it now, or face consequences far worse than submission."My hands trembled as I fumbled with the latch and slid it home. The click echoed like a trap snapping shut, sealing me in her web. Obedience was my only shield against her wrath. She smiled triumphantly and beckoned me nearer with a

Rashi’s POVI slipped through the servant's entrance just as the first light of dawn touched the castle walls and found Madam Lysca waiting in the shadows of the scullery with a look of terrified relief etched onto her face."You made it," she breathed while pulling me inside and locking the heavy iron bolt behind me."It was amazing Madam," I whispered while stripping off the heavy cloak and handing it back to her. "I wasn't just safe, I was treated like a queen. Melyn gave me a suite and a bath and food fit for the Alpha and for a few hours I forgot I was a servant. Everyone respected me."I hugged her tightly and felt grateful for the glimpse of a life I had only dreamed of living."Stop daydreaming Rashi," Lysca scolded gently while pulling away and handing me my uniform. "That life is a fantasy and you are back in reality now. If you don't focus you will get us both killed so get dressed because the Alpha wants the main courtyard scrubbed before the council arrives for the mornin

Brail’s POVWe reached the iron gates of the castle just as the sky turned a bruised purple as the sun was threatening to rise and expose our nightly escapade. Trad shoved me toward the servant’s entrance while he ducked behind the stables to avoid the changing of the guard.I slipped into my chambers and tore off the clothes that smelled of smoke and jasmine. I splashed cold water on my face to wake myself up because I had not slept a wink, yet I felt more alive than I had in years. Torian, my personal guard, entered silently and handed me my royal tunic without asking questions."The Alpha is waiting in the council chamber," Torian announced while fastening the gold clasps on my shoulder."I am ready," I lied.I marched down the corridor and met Trad outside the double doors. He looked as exhausted as I felt but offered a conspiratorial wink before we pushed the doors open and stepped into the den of wolves."You are late," Father stated without looking up from the map spread across
