The Luna's Groom 039 | Like A Moth To A Flame.
E L E A N O RThis was it. We were so chaotic that stability was impossible — not even for a straight week. He didn’t know Tobias. I’ve known Tobias since I was a child. Perseus hadn’t. He couldn’t just throw words around to redeem himself and paint Tobias as the villain.I hug my legs tightly as I lie on the bed. I can feel Ravon’s presence nearby and more than ever, I need to speak to him. He was right—my feelings would be the end of me. Here I was, crying and drowning in guilt for a dozen reasons — for hurting Perseus, for betraying Tobias, for everything I’d become. Slowly, I feel my grip on reality slipping.I force myself to sleep, and in the dark, I see Ravon’s eyes—red, sharp, inquisitive.“Don’t believe anything Perseus says. Your husband was a noble man,” he tells me firmly.“I know.” I sigh, rubbing my shoulder where the ache lingers. “I don’t want this to drag on much longer. I’ll fall for him — my resistance is breaking down.”“I love the self-awareness,” Ravon chuckles l
The Luna's Groom 038 | Rewriting Fairytales.
P E R S E U SWe’ve been lying in bed for a while now. Eleanor had fallen asleep in the carriage but woke up the moment I laid her on the bed. Since then, we’ve only bathed and changed into lighter clothes, not exchanging a single word. I hold her in bed, silently.She doesn’t speak, just rests her head on my chest, drawing lazy circles with her polished fingers. Occasionally, she sighs—long, deep breaths that sound more like quiet screams for peace.I’ve always loved the silence between us. It’s not really silence; it feels like we’re speaking in our own language—through shared breathing and unspoken thoughts.I can’t stop thinking about the joy that lit up her face a few hours ago when she saw the Court. Nothing could’ve outshone her expression. Not even a thousand stars.Maybe I was falling in love. Or maybe it was lust. Obsession, even. But I didn’t care what it was called. I just knew I loved how it felt. Every second of it—with her.“Thank you.” Her voice breaks the silence.“Fo
The Luna's Groom 037 | The Dichotomy.
E L E A N O RI'm wearing a long-sleeved, knee-length yellow dress and flat shoes. We're currently in the carriage.I haven’t stepped foot outside the castle since I arrived. Everything looks different—newer, livelier, more developed than what we passed on our way in. It feels like the world moved on without me. Bloodthorn kept advancing and expanding, growing into something more. The reminder of what my father admitted claws at my stomach, twisting it into knots. My fingers tighten around the fabric of my dress as the reality hits again—werewolves were treated like slaves. My people. Our people. The same ones Tobias fought for with every breath in his body until he had no breath left to give.The carriage rolls to a gentle stop beside a glowing water fountain, silver streams dancing and catching the moonlight like liquid stars. Perseus steps out first and helps me down. A cold breeze brushes across my skin, carrying with it the scent of roasted meat, spiced herbs, and something warm,
The Luna's Groom 036 | Sweet Oblivion.
E L E A N O R I watch him trace the curve of the vials with his black-painted fingers, the gleam from the glass catching the dim bathroom light. “I don't need that information anymore,” I say, frowning. “I don't even know how you got in here, but leave me alone.” “Your anxiety brought me here,” he replies smoothly, straightening to his full height. “Perseus being away makes it easier for me to slip in. This alliance between us, Eleanor... it's inevitable. So stop pretending you can fight it.” “I don’t want your help,” I snap. “I can kill him myself. Alone.” He scoffs, not moving closer. The mate bond between Persues and I keeps him at a frustrating distance, like some invisible chain. Still, he’s near enough to block the doorway. Near enough to suffocate me. “Kill him?” He lets out a dark laugh, cold and mocking. “Eleanor, you’re in love with him.” Love? No. That couldn’t be true. That can’t be true. “I don’t love him,” I shoot back quickly. “Stop stuffing my head with your tw
The Luna's Groom 035 | A Fair Reminder.
E L E A N O R—One Week—The weather is warm, and summer is almost here. I can't help but think of home. It's been days since I last heard from my father—no letters, no word, nothing to show that he’s thought of me since I left.I don’t expect anything from him anymore. I’m sure Perseus would prevent me from visiting, though it was something I used to do occasionally while I was married to Tobias.Maybe my father is afraid to reach out, or perhaps he’s just too busy. I have no way of knowing what’s happening at home. There’s no one to talk to here. The loneliness is suffocating, gnawing at me deeply.Perseus has been around, but his schedule is packed. He usually only returns at night. Most of the time, I say nothing when he arrives. He simply wraps his arms around me, and we lie there in silence, breathing each other’s air, until I fall asleep. It’s become a routine, a quiet distraction from the noise in my head. It’s the only thing that helps calm the voices and quiet the hallucinat
The Luna's Groom 034 | Medicine After Death.
P E R S E U SThe pain shoots through my back, sharp and unrelenting, as the gunshot echoes down the hall. The sound reverberates, each reverberation adding to the deafening weight of the moment. I stop, slowly turning my head to look at Eleanor.Se's rooted in place, her body stiff with shock, her chest rising and falling with quick, shallow breaths. Her entire body trembles, and my gaze snaps to Lord Wellington, Dolores' father — the bastard who had fired the gun.The guards, reacting swiftly, rush towards him, restraining him with practiced efficiency and yanking the weapon from his grasp.Eleanor falters on her feet, stumbling just slightly, and that's when I finally see it — the blood, dark and thick, beginning to pool on the floor beneath her.No. God, no.She couldn't have gotten shot. Not her. My heart stutters in panic as I dash towards her, reaching her just as her body crumples. She slumps heavily into my arms, her weight pressing me down. My knees hit the floor, and instin
The Luna's Groom 033 | Tell Us Your Truth.
E L E A N O R After hours of fitting, hair, and makeup, I finally step out of the closet, flanked by a few maids assisting me with my dress. Nervousness gnaws at my stomach—my guts twist with anxiety about what he will think of the gown. It’s crazy that I want his praise. The way he says it—his voice, the slight edge of his accent—brings warmth to my cheeks. I hate that I crave his approval. I had wanted to wear a green dress, but I settled on this violet mermaid gown instead. My makeup is light, hair pulled into a neat bun pinned with a few flowers—nothing different from my casual look. I didn’t want to overdo it; someone might die today. But I also didn’t want to look shabby—like a victim, miserable in my first meeting with the council. I walk into the room, my heart pounding, and see him with Severus, playing a game of chess on the coffee table. My breath catches as I observe him. He’s already dressed—regal black attire that fits him perfectly. His hair is in a bun again, and I
The Luna's Groom 032 | Marked by Memory .
P E R S E U SI follow Elisha dutifully, helping him carry the basket he had entrusted to me. It’s a task we perform every year, a ritual to pay homage to the moon goddess for my mother’s soul. This tradition is observed by the lycans and anyone who has lost someone within our territory.My mother passed three years ago. I was only fourteen then, old enough to carry out the rites in place of my father, who couldn't bear to continue. Her death shook him to his core. We doubted he’d recover.The council had suggested marrying another woman. The next day, my stepmother arrived, keeping the castle in order with her cruel methods, even as my father’s health declined. I had already begun training to take over as ruler once I turned sixteen. My father just had to hold on until then.I cherished my mother; she was my only friend, my comforter, the light of our home. That light dimmed the moment she died. She knew she was dying; she made sure I mourned her while she was still alive, urging me t
The Luna's Groom 031 | Like Oil and Water.
P E R S E U S I shut the door behind me, then descended the stairs, desperately trying to gather what remains of my sanity.A sudden wave of regret hit me. I shouldn’t have given in to my lust for her. It’s not love. It can’t be. Just lust; raw, stupid lust. If I were to fall for every woman I pleased, I might be completely insane.Her voice sounded desperate and needy. Her whimpers and breathy moans still echoed in my ears, the way her eyes stayed fixed on mine as she reached her release. Undeniably, she was sexy, I’d give her that.I’m beginning to realize she’s vulnerable, or perhaps she’s acting on the mate bond. I shouldn’t have marked her. It’s hard to resist her, crazy even — that I can’t and actually want her. She’s making things difficult for both of us, and then blames me afterward.I head toward the kitchen for breakfast, asking the maids to bring something for her as well, after I taste it. She shouldn’t have to go hungry.It’s become clear to me that this woman has endur
