Zoey’s POV

The day before me isn’t smiling at all. The air itself feels heavy, like the world knows what’s coming and wants to prepare me for it. Hard as I try, I can’t shake the weight of it off. Maybe because deep down, I know I could’ve avoided all of this—but it’s too late now.

Why can’t I just stay in his arms forever? Just me and Kieran—no life-changing ceremony, no war, no vengeful brother waiting in the shadows.

If only.

“What are you really afraid of?”

I slump into my usual spot across from him, the wooden chair creaking beneath me. His cabin smells faintly of burning sage and parchment, grounding me as always. “You know…I’m going to tell him, I am. But I need some clarity myself before I tell him.”

He watches me with that calm, unreadable gaze that always makes me feel both seen and transparent. “So it’s not that you don’t want to tell him,” he repeats slowly, “it’s that all your secrets are standing in your way.”

I nod, the truth of it pressing on my chest.

  • The Lost Luna’s Return   CHAPTER 67 — The Oath of Eternity Broken

    Zoey’s POV It takes me a minute to remember where I am. The ceiling above me is too high, the scent too unfamiliar, the sheets too bright to belong to me. I blink up at the bright room, at the warm afternoon glow seeping through the curtains, and only then do I notice the clothes scattered across the floor—shredded, tangled, thrown aside like they meant nothing. A thin, nearly transparent layer of fabric is the only thing covering my body, clinging to me like a whisper. And then everything comes back. Last night. His hands. My hands. The way we fell apart and came back together. The way I felt him everywhere. My heart lurches so hard I press a hand to my chest. My other hand drifts lower before I can stop it, settling instinctively between my legs like touching that place will confirm the truth. I can’t believe I did that. That we just… did that. My shaky breath catches, and my hand moves from my chest to my stomach, resting there as a new thought flickers—terrifying, imp

  • The Lost Luna’s Return   CHAPTER 66: The Joining

    Kieran’s POV The first thing I feel is warmth. Soft, steady heat pressed along my back — a warmth that seeps past muscle and bone, settles somewhere deep inside me, and tells me Zoey is still here. Still with me. Still safe. Only then do I let myself breathe. My eyes open slowly, letting the early morning light filter through my lashes. Dawn paints the room in a pale gold glow, gentle and quiet, like the world is trying not to disturb us. But even without turning, even without seeing her face, I know Zoey is awake. Her breathing is shallow. Too controlled. Her heartbeat has that uneven rhythm she gets when something is weighing on her mind. I lower my voice to a whisper, not wanting to startle her. “Good morning.” There’s a pause — a long enough pause for worry to brush the edge of my chest — before she whispers back, “Hi.” I turn then, letting myself look at her fully. Every damn time, it hits me like the first fall of snow — unexpected and soft and stunning. Zoey’s hair sp

  • The Lost Luna’s Return   CHAPTER 65: The Rite of Purity

    Zoey’s POVOur backs are still touching when I open my eyes to the new morning, the faint warmth of Kieran’s body radiating through the thin space between us. The room is quiet, peaceful even, but my mind is anything but. I’m grateful I didn’t slip back into another dream — the last one still scrapes at my nerves, its meaning clawing at me from the shadows. I know I have to tell him eventually. Anders was right. The closer we get to the end of this week, the harder it becomes to keep secrets from him. Everything in me aches to just tell him… yet I don’t know how to break the truth open without breaking something between us.My early morning walk should’ve cleared my mind, but it only amplified the knot sitting heavy in my chest. And somehow, my steps lead me back to the only place that feels stable right now — the lonely cabin tucked at the edge of the lawn.When I push open the door, I’m expecting Anders to be hunched over his bowl like always. Instead, he’s settled in his rocking ch

  • The Lost Luna’s Return   CHAPTER 64: The Night of Shadows

    Kieran’s POV“Why are you so nervous?” I ask as we walk down the stairs, our footsteps echoing faintly in the nearly empty pack house. Most of the members have already retired for the night, leaving the corridors quiet. The scent of floor polish and lingering aroma from the kitchen clings to the air.“What? I’m not nervous.” Zoey replies, trying her best to sound confident, but her voice wavers.I squeeze her hand in mine, feeling the faint tremor in her fingers. “I can hear your heartbeat,” I whisper against her ear, leaning close enough to catch the soft hitch of her breath.“Dammit,” Mia grumbles in my head just as we step out into the night.The cool air wraps around us like silk, sharp enough to draw a shiver from her. I take in the sight of her under the moonlight—her white her glows extra bright under the moon’s gaze, her eyes reflecting the glow.“It’ll be fine,” I say, turning her gently to face me and placing my hands on her shoulders. “We’ve made it through the last three.

  • The Lost Luna’s Return   CHAPTER 62 — The Same Page

    Kieran’s POVThe pain from the impact ripples through me—a familiar yet foreign ache. It’s like touching an old scar I thought had long healed, only to find it raw again. I grit my teeth, pushing myself to my feet, muscles screaming in protest.She’s gone.My heart lurches before my body even catches up. My feet move on instinct, sprinting out of the cabin before my mind can decide where to go. Seems like I’m always running after her—running to her, through storms and silence alike. And somehow, no matter how exhausting it gets, it feels like that’s exactly what I’m meant to be doing.The cool air bites against my skin as I tear through the forest clearing. The sunlight filters through the trees, golden streaks cutting through the space. Ragnar stirs beneath my skin, restless, anxious. I reach the riverbank, breath ragged, scanning every shadow and ripple across the water’s surface.Nothing.I still my frantic heart and raise my nose to the air. Her scent—sweet, wild, unmistakably her
