Madam Lysca’s pov

"I don't know, my lady," the guard admitted, still breathing hard. "She was wearing a cloak and I couldn't see her face clearly. She climbed up a building and disappeared before I could catch her."

His words made my heart calm.

But Luna Saira's eyes narrowed into dangerous slits and she turned her gaze on me. I felt like a rabbit caught in a trap and I had to force myself not to look away.

"How convenient," Luna Saira said slowly, her voice dripped with suspicion. "A servant r

  • The Hybrid Luna birthright   Chapter 26

    Rashi's POVI watched Brail and Trad huddled in the corner whispering like conspirators plotting a murder and I couldn't shake the feeling that something had gone terribly wrong. They kept glancing at the door and then back at each other, Brail's face had gone from joyful to pale in the span of thirty seconds."The Alpha," Trad hissed, the words floated across the room despite his attempt to keep his voice low.The Alpha? My father? What did he have to do with anything? I strained to hear more but they were speaking too quietly and all I could catch were fragments. "Followed us" and "summoned" and "leave now" tumbled together in a way that made my stomach clench with dread.I tried to sit still on the sofa and act like the calm mysterious Aria they expected me to be but my wolf was clawing at my insides screaming danger. Every instinct I had was telling me to run and get out before whatever storm was brewing crashed down on all our heads. The money Brail had given me suddenly felt hea

  • The Hybrid Luna birthright   Chapter 25

    Brail's POVI led Aria to the velvet sofa and watched her settle into the cushions like she belonged there, the emerald silk of her gown caught the candlelight and made her skin glow like honey. I couldn't stop staring at her and my wolf was practically purring in my chest because she was finally here in front of me and not some ghost I had conjured in my desperate imagination."Sit with me," I urged, dropping into the seat beside her and leaving barely any space between us.She folded her hands in her lap and looked at me with those dark intelligent eyes that had haunted me for two straight days. I wanted to ask her a thousand questions about where she had been and why she had disappeared but all I could do was grin at her like a fool."I am so happy you came," I admitted, reaching out to touch her hand. "I was terrified Melyn was hiding you from me.""I was ill," she replied softly, her fingers tensed under mine. "I didn't mean to worry you.""I came here last night looking for you,

"A servant runs away the same night my son decides to visit a brothel. Don't you find that strange, Lysca?""I wouldn't know, my lady," I replied, keeping my voice level even though my insides were screaming.Luna Saira stood up from her chair and smoothed down her gown. "Where is that useless girl with my message? She should have returned by now."As if summoned by her words the young maid came rushing back into the dining hall with wide terrified eyes. She skidded to a stop in front of Luna Saira and drop

  • The Hybrid Luna birthright   Chapter 23

    Madam Lysca's POVI poured the wine into the Alpha's goblet and kept my hands steady even though my mind was racing with images of Rashi climbing through windows and running through alleys in that ridiculous cloak. The Alpha sat at the head of the long dining table and reviewed some reports that the council had sent earlier, he barely looked up as I set the plate of roasted venison in front of him."Will there be anything else, Alpha?" I asked, bowing my head low."No, you may..." he started to dismiss me but stopped mid-sentence when the heavy doors of the dining hall burst open.A guard rushed in and dropped to one knee in front of the Alpha's chair, he was breathing hard like he had run all the way from the outer gates. I froze with the wine pitcher still in my hands and felt my stomach drop to the floor."Speak," the Alpha commanded, setting down his fork."Sire, we followed the prince just as you ordered," the guard panted, looking up at the Alpha with urgent eyes. "The Prince is

    Rashi’s povI waited in the shadows behind the kitchen storage room when the sun had set, Madam Lysca kept checking the corridor to make sure everywhere was clear."The patrol just passed," she whispered, gesturing for me to follow her toward the servant's exit near the scullery. "We have maybe ten minutes before they circle back around."I pulled the black cloak tighter around my shoulders and tucked my hair beneath the hood , my mind raced with a thousand ways this could go wrong. What if someone saw me leaving? What if the Luna decided to summon me tonight and found my bed empty? What if Brail recognized me the moment I walked into that room?"Stop thinking so loud," Lysca muttered, unlocking the small iron door that led to the back courtyard. "Your fear is written all over your face and fear makes you sloppy.""I am terrified, Madam…those girls" I admitted, stepping out into the cool night air. "This is madness.""This is survival," she corrected, pressing a small pouch into my ha

  • 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
