The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 148: The Lesser Devil
NARAYARoger was in the kitchen when I came down the next morning, humming.That was the first wrong thing. He never hummed. He stood at the counter in his shirtsleeves with a cup of coffee, the sun spilling over his shoulders, looking like a man who'd slept well and woken up generous. The crack in the hallway wall had already been plastered over. The shattered glass was gone. There wasn't a single trace of last night left in the house.Except the way my wrist still ached.“Sit,” he said, pulling out a chair. “I made breakfast.”“I'm not hungry.”“You're eating for two.” He smiled, soft and sad, and set a plate of eggs in front of me. “Please, Naya. I owe you an apology.”I sat. Slowly. Ava was on edge beneath my ribs, her hackles up, whispering that this was worse, this was so much worse than the wall.“I lost my temper,” Roger said, taking the chair across from me. His silver eyes were clear and tired. “I was cruel, and I scared you, and I'm sorry. It's just… when you said his name,
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 147: The First Meeting
ROGERI saw the car before I saw her.Black, low, expensive, the kind of machine that didn't belong in a driveway like mine because it belonged to a man who owned half the driveways in the realm. It rolled to a stop at the foot of my front steps at a quarter to midnight, engine purring, and I stood behind the study curtain with a glass of whiskey going warm in my hand and watched Caspian Zachary's driver step out to open the rear door.Not Caspian himself. Not yet.Naraya stepped out first, her cardigan pulled tight around her middle, her long hair loose and a little windblown. She bent back toward the open door and said something I couldn't hear. A pause. Then he leaned out into the light of my porch lamp, grey eyes on her face, and said something back that made her duck her head, and I saw her smile.A small one. Barely there. But real.I had not seen that smile in over a year.The glass cracked in my hand.“You're home late,” I said, when she came through the front door.She jumped
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 146: Walls Coming Down
NARAYAHe kept a piano in his private study.I found it by accident, three weeks into my new position, when Delphine sent me to retrieve a signed contract from the room adjoining his office and I opened the wrong door first. A baby grand sat in the corner, half-covered in a dust sheet like something he'd meant to get rid of and never quite managed, sheet music stacked beside it, yellowed at the edges.I stood there a beat too long, staring, and that was how he found me — in the doorway of a room I had no business being in, caught red-handed admiring something he clearly hadn't meant for anyone to see.“Wrong door,” I wrote quickly, heat climbing up my neck.He looked at the piano, then at me, something unreadable moving across his face.“It was hers,” he said. Just that. No explanation. He didn't need to give one. I understood, the way I understood most things about him now, through the careful accumulation of silences rather than words.“You don't play?” I wrote.“Not anymore.”I sho
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 145: Watching My Husband
MELISSAI used to think I knew every version of Roger's face.The one he wore for my father, careful and deferential, a future son-in-law proving he deserved the Northern Pack's alliance. The one he wore for the board, confident, commanding, every word landing like a decree. The one he wore for me in bed, hungry and warm, the one that had once convinced a guarded girl like me that her heart was finally safe in someone's hands.I did not know this new face. The one he wore when Naraya walked into a room.It happened first at dinner, three nights after she'd started working under the Lycan King. She came down late, apologising with her hands the way she always did now, a quick little gesture toward the clock and then a small, tired shrug. Roger's head turned before she'd even reached the doorway. Not the way a brother's head turns for a sister.The way a man's head turns for something he's afraid of losing.“You're late,” he said, and there was an edge under the words that had nothing t
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 144: The File that Didn't Exist
CASPIANElric set the folder on my desk the way a man sets down something he isn't sure he's allowed to be holding.“My king,” he said. “You should look at this yourself before I say anything.”I opened it.There was a birth record. Naraya Veils, born in the Eastern Hollow district, twenty-three years ago. Parents listed. A clean medical file through childhood — vaccinations, a broken wrist at nine, nothing unusual. No accident. No trauma noted anywhere in six pages of records that should have documented, in exhaustive Pack bureaucratic detail, the precise incident that had supposedly stolen a child's voice.And nowhere, in any document bearing the name Brimstone, was there a single record of a sibling.“Roger Brimstone's family registry lists one child,” Elric said quietly. “Him. No sister. Not by blood, not by adoption, not by any Pack record I could find.”I sat back slowly in my chair.“Then who is she?”“That's the strange part, my king.” Elric hesitated, which was unlike him. He
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 143: On the Fortieth Floor
NARAYAMy new desk sat directly outside Caspian's office, close enough that I could hear the low rumble of his voice through the glass whenever he took a call, close enough that his assistant Delphine kept glancing at me like she was waiting for me to combust.“You're the first one he's ever asked for by name,” she told me on my second morning, setting a stack of files on my desk with the careful precision of a woman handling something breakable. “Usually HR just sends him whoever's available. I've worked for him three years and I've never seen him walk into Archives himself.”I only nodded. Wrote nothing. Delphine, bless her, had already gotten used to my silence faster than most, filling the gaps herself the way kind people do when they decide a quiet person just needs someone to talk at instead of with.“Don't take it personal if he's cold,” she added, lowering her voice like the walls might repeat her. “He's not cruel without reason. But he doesn't warm up to people. Ever. There w
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 2: You Are Mine
NARAYA“Daddy? Who is this woman?”A cold, unexplainable ache ripped through my chest as the little boy’s words echoed in my head for a few seconds.My Roger... Daddy?I stared at Roger, waiting for an explanation. A laugh. An indication that the pup was lying, joking, or even wrong.But his face w
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 1: He Doesn't Love You
“The hardest lies to escape are the ones we tell ourselves for love.”NARAYA“You do know I’m still against you doing this, don’t you?” Zilla growled, stomping up the stairs behind me. Her fingers tightened around the flower basket.My jaw tightened. I took the remaining stairs two at a time and sk
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 5: Play Along For A While
NARAYA“Tell me you are joking, Raya.” Zilla's eyes widened behind her glasses. I lowered my gaze, suddenly picking interest in tracing the lines in my palm.“I’m not.”“Geez, Raya, you are twenty-three, not eighteen. How could you let that happen?”Neither of us spoke for a moment as we let the mu
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 4: Hell No!
NARAYAMost wolves reluctantly settle for the option of a chosen mate only when they have completely exhausted all hopes of finding their fated mate after decades of waiting. Or perhaps when their true fated mate passes from this world—that’s also after years of emptiness and loneliness.But those
