“Are you okay?” Caspian asks softly, his face etched with genuine concern, the same expression mirrored by the children standing nearby. I shut my eyes briefly, taking a slow, calming breath as I try to steady my trembling memories. But what use are those memories now? Why did it have to be those two—why them?

“Matthew?” a woman’s voice calls, sharp and clear, pulling me abruptly out of my haze. She steps toward the children, one hand resting on her waist, the other gently securing her small baby bump.

“Mummy?” the little girl squeals excitedly, running into her mother’s arms. She hugs her tightly, a bright smile spreading across her face—one that reveals a set of missing baby teeth, a reminder of her innocence.

The woman looks familiar… too familiar. Like I’ve seen her somewhere before, but I can’t quite place her face or remember where. It’s frustrating—the feeling gnaws at me.

She approaches the boy, whose gaze remains fixed on mine, even as her presence draws close

    EleanorI sit by the fireplace, watching the flickering light as I let out a sigh, hugging my knees on the couch. I notice Caspian picking up the yarn and crochet pin from the chair next to me before sitting down. I watch as he begins finishing the scarf I made. It reminds me of the crochet Perseus’s mother left unfinished before her passing, but I blink away the memory and stare at the cold coffee on the tea table. Caspian had left it here for a while. My throat feels dry, but I still can’t bring myself to drink it.“You crochet tightly,” he says, clearing his throat just as he breaks the silence.“Dora taught me that way,” I respond, my voice raspy, feeling my eyes brim with tears. The memory of her hands holding mine, guiding me through the process, interrupts my thoughts. “I miss her sometimes… I really do. I just wish he hadn’t done this.”Caspian drops the yarn, silent, lost in thought, trying to find the right words. But I don’t need words. I need a person—the person who, ironi

    E L E A N O R“It’s nice of you to join us, Your Majesty,” one of the workers greeted, carrying a huge basket along with a teenage boy.“Thank you,” I smile warmly.“They usually come here with their children. Today isn’t a school day,” Caspian explains.“Children? Why would—”“Not to worry, children under the age of thirteen do not work here. It’s more for adolescents and teenagers, and they get paid separately according to their work,” he clarifies, as though he’s read my mind.Caspian continues leading me through the yard, allowing me to socialize and greet a few people. Some might recognize me possibly from the papers; others rely on my expensive clothing to tell I am a person of importance, whereas some don’t know who I am but follow the crowd in greeting me.It’s hard to blame them. I’ve been sheltered and kept from the world for a very long time. My marriage with Perseus was the first time I was brought out of the dark.According to my father and father-in-law, keeping me away

    E L E A N O RI’m outside. I haven’t been out of the castle in days, maybe a whole week. Although I’ve kept myself busy with a few things here and there, just enough to keep some semblance of order, to keep everything from falling completely apart. Small tasks, routines, moments of silence—anything to distract the mind from the chaos within.A few days ago, I met with the elders. They’ve begun the process of selecting a new Alpha. Five eligible soldiers, all strong and capable, had been brought forward as candidates. The initial idea was that each of them would undergo several tests—tasks designed to evaluate their strength, cunning, and leadership potential. The person who excelled in these trials would be crowned the new Alpha. Simple in theory, but I couldn’t help but think about Margaret and the brutal way she had pushed me through. I refused to let anyone else go through that kind of torment. Ultimately, my decision was an election. That the people here could choose their own

  • The Luna's Groom   057| Like A Scoundrel.

    P E R S E U SIt's been days since she left, and I find myself caught in a strange limbo, unable to process why I let her go in the first place. I watched her pack her things, every movement slow and deliberate, yet I couldn’t bring myself to say a single word. My throat tightens as if some invisible force is holding back the words I desperately want to voice. For the sake of appearances, for the sake of the public eye, we’ve spun a story—Eleanor would stay at Clawford only until a new Alpha is appointed. That’s what everyone believes, at least. But behind closed doors, the truth feels like a weight pressing on my chest. We’re now a couple, living worlds apart, and I fight the hollow ache inside me by burying myself under an endless mountain of work, training, and more work—anything to drown out the gnawing emptiness. The dragon king is coming soon. The words echo in my mind like a drumbeat, relentless and unavoidable. We have no more time to waste. Every second counts. We must act

The first werewolf Luna snaps at the grand Coronation Ball, shattering everything]***I toss the crumpled newspapers into the fireplace, watching as the flames greedily consume the ink-stained pages. My hands tremble as I run my fingers through my hair, frustration and anger bubbling beneath my skin. I bite down hard on my lower lip, trying to contain the storm brewing inside me.My body feels weak, heavy with the weight of yesterday’s memories—every detail vivid and raw. The screams that tore through the night air at the ball echo in my mind, relentless. Her screams. The sweat that had drenched her skin, glistening under the flickering chandelier lights as she frantically loosened her hair, desperate to shed the acces
