_Leah's POV_

Tariq and I rushed back through the woods, our feet barely touching the ground as we moved swiftly. The trees blurred around us, and the only sound was the pounding of our footsteps against the earth. Tariq led the way, his familiarity with the forest evident as he guided us through a shortcut. The urgency in his voice earlier still echoed in my mind.

"We have to move quickly," Tariq had said.

"Kayden's guards might still be out here looking for you, and if they catch us, it will be a big problem."

I didn’t need to be told twice. The thought of being captured made my blood run cold. My wolf stirred restlessly within me, but it was calmer now, though the fear still lingered. I pushed myself to keep up with Tariq. My body ached from the earlier transformation, but I was determined to stay strong.

Within minutes, the familiar sight of the cottage came into view. Relief washed over me as we approached the door. Susan was already outside, her worried expression softening the m

not exactly sure why, but I am finding myself not exactly trusting Tariq and his mom

  • The Luna Queen    Chapter 78

    _Leah’s POV_The days that followed blurred together in a strange mix of fear, exhaustion and fragile hope.Kayden survived.That thought alone kept me breathing.The first night after he woke up, I barely slept. I stayed by his bed in the hospital room, sitting in the stiff chair beside him. My fingers were wrapped around his hand as if letting go might make him disappear. The steady beeping of the machines became the rhythm of my heart. Every rise and fall of his chest felt like a miracle.He slept most of the time. His body was healing but slowly. The dark magic had left deep scars inside him. The doctors explained what they could, but even they admitted there were things they did not fully understand. Magic did not follow human rules.I watched his face while he slept. His lashes rested against his cheeks. There were faint shadows under his eyes. He looked calmer like this, younger somehow and more vulnerable.You saved him, Athena said softly inside me.“We saved him,” I whisper

  • The Luna Queen    Chapter 77

    _Leah’s POV_Darkness wrapped around me like thick fog.For a few seconds, I didn’t know where I was. I didn’t know who I was. There was no sound, no light, only a deep heaviness pulling me down. My body felt numb as if I had sunk to the bottom of a cold lake."Leah...."The voice reached me faintly. It was distant like it was calling to me through thick water. “Leah, wake up!”I groaned softly. My head throbbed as if it were being split open. Every part of me hurt. My chest felt tight and my limbs felt heavy, as if they didn’t belong to me anymore.“Leah!”That voice again. It was urgent now.I forced my eyes open.Bright light stabbed into my vision, making me gasp. I squeezed my eyes shut. My breath was coming in short and painful bursts.“Slowly,” the Seer said gently. “Open your eyes slowly, child.”Her voice grounded me. I tried again, blinking through the pain. The world came into focus piece by piece. I could see the dark sky above, flickering firelight and smoke drifting thr

    _Leah’s POV_The door wouldn’t budge. I pulled, pushed, slammed my shoulder against it, but it stayed locked. My breath came in short gasps and frustration boiled inside me.“Kayden!” I shouted again while pounding my fists against the wood. “Open this door! You can’t keep me in here!”There was no answer. Only silence and the faint echo of fighting from outside.My heart pounded so loud that it drowned everything else. I could still hear the clashing of metal, the roars of wolves and the cries of pain. The scent of blood drifted faintly through the air. It was sharp and heavy. I pressed my hands against the door and rested my forehead against it.He locked you in to keep you safe, Athena said softly in my mind.Safe? I thought bitterly. While he fights alone? While our pack bleeds?He is your mate. He fears losing you.“And what about me losing him?” I whispered aloud. My voice broke. “I can’t just sit here, Athena. I can’t.”Silence filled my head for a moment, then Athena said gent

  • The Luna Queen    Chapter 75

    _Leah’s POV_That evening, the room felt quiet....too quiet. The candles flickered gently, throwing soft shadows on the walls. Kayden and I sat across from each other at the small table near the window. Dinner was served but I could barely taste anything. My stomach was tight. Every time I lifted my eyes, his gaze met mine, and my heart would skip.I tried to focus on my food. I pushed the peas around the plate, pretending to eat. My hands were trembling slightly, so I kept them in my lap when I could.Kayden was watching me. “You haven’t eaten much,” he said quietly.“I’m not that hungry,” I murmured while keeping my eyes on my plate.He smiled faintly. “You’re thinking too much again.”I frowned. “I’m not.”“Yes, you are,” he said and leaned forward slightly. “Your thoughts are loud. You’re worried about me reading them, aren’t you?”I froze. My cheeks heated instantly. “I’m trying not to think at all, actually,” I said quickly.He chuckled softly. “That’s impossible, Leah. You can’

  • The Luna Queen    Chapter 74

    _Leah's POV_The air in the room grew still after I said it.“Yes.”The word left my lips in a whisper but it echoed through my chest like thunder. My pulse quickened. My palms felt cold. Kayden froze. His eyes were searching mine for any hint of doubt.“Are you sure?” he asked, his voice low.I nodded, even though part of me wanted to run. “Yes,” I said again. “Do it before I change my mind.”Kayden took a slow breath and came closer. His movements were gentle, almost careful, like he was afraid I might shatter. His hand lifted, brushing a loose strand of hair from my face. I could feel the warmth of his fingers trail down my skin. My heart beat faster.“Then tilt your head for me,” he said softly. “It won’t hurt long.”I obeyed, though my stomach twisted. My throat felt tight. I tilted my head to the side, exposing my bare neck to him. His fingers brushed through my hair, pushing it gently to one side. The gesture was slow and tender. I shivered under his touch.“It’s all right,” he

  • The Luna Queen    Chapter 73

    _Leah's POV_I woke to a hand on my shoulder. “Leah,” Kayden said. “Get up. It’s nearly noon.”My eyes snapped open. Light cut through the curtains. The room smelled faintly of smoke and pine. For a second I did not know where I was. Then the memory of the night fell back on me like wet cloth. The dream. The fire. Kayden on the couch. The smoke in my mouth.I groaned and pulled the blanket over my head. “Go away,” I mumbled. “Leave me alone.”He laughed softly. It was a low sound that held no mockery. “You said that two hours ago. You said it when I brought you tea and when I put out the small embers.” He kissed the top of my head like it was a small thing and like he was afraid of hurting me. “You can’t hide forever. The pack is eating downstairs and the food will not wait.”I curled into the blankets more. My face was hot. My throat was raw. My body ached in places that had nothing to do with sleep. The dream left a pulse behind the ribs. The shame of what I had done when I had slep
