The Luna's Groom 065| True Intentions.
E L E A N O R“You’re not bad at this, Eleanor,” Caspian laughs, pulling the reins of his horse to a stop. I follow his lead, patting Benjamin gently to signal him to slow down. His pace eases, hooves thudding softly against the dry earth.“It turned out to be easier than I expected,” I respond, still slightly surprised as I run my fingers through Benjamin’s mane. It’s softer than it looks—almost like he’s been groomed just for today. Maybe he has.We’d gone through the basics in no time, riding across the open palace fields until the sun reached its peak and turned everything unbearably hot. Sweat clung to the back of my neck, and my legs ached from gripping the saddle, but I didn’t care. It had been a good distraction.Caspian dismounts smoothly, landing with a light thud before walking toward me. “It’s less about skill and more about how well you bond with the horse,” he says, smiling as he reaches up to offer help. “The stronger the bond, the better the ride.”I let him guide me d
The Luna's Groom 064 | Meeting an Old Friend.
E L E A N O R “Hey,” Caspian greets softly as I step into the stable, the sound of his voice cutting through the quiet. He’s already there, carefully leading out two horses with the help of the caretaker, who moves with practiced ease. I didn’t realize how much this moment would matter until I was face to face with the horses. I’d vaguely thought my outfit today might give me some kind of confidence—just a hat, a pair of brown trousers, a white billowy-sleeved shirt, and sturdy boots. I’d looked at myself this morning and felt like a horseman, at least for a fleeting moment. It’s funny how a simple outfit can make you feel that way. The stable door is labeled “KAISER CLAWFORD’S HORSE STABLE,” and beneath that, a weathered wooden notice catches my eye. It’s a quote added by my uncle after his first visit from the human world: “A righteous man regards the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” Proverbs 12:10. I remember my father arguing briefly duri

E L E A N O R“He never told me about that... or her.” I whisper, mostly to myself, not really expecting Caspian to respond.“I think he was more interested because her son, Matthew, looks like him. He seems to be very fond of children—especially the boy,” Caspian says quietly.It hits me like a sharp jab to the chest. My heart clenches. I had lost our baby. A child that might’ve had his eyes or my smile. Maybe a boy. Maybe a girl. A little one he’d have carried around or played with, just like he does with Gabrielle now. And yet, I didn’t even get to hold mine.What stings the most isn’t the memory—it’s the silence. The secrecy. He’d kept this from me. And not just this. He rarely ever spoke about his past. Nothing too personal. I had to patch pieces of him together from whispers—his mother, his father, casual mentions dropped like forgotten coins. I was never given the full picture. And now this?Why did he think I didn’t deserve to know?Maybe I should visit Gabrielle. Ask the ques
The Luna's Groom 062 | Stepping On His Tail.
A U T H O R 'S POV]Eretrix, Dragon Shifter Colony.The grand throne room was awash in a luminous glow, thanks to the towering floor-to-ceiling windows that let in the brilliant daylight. Amidst this regal setting, a deep, resonant masculine laughter suddenly erupted from the hallway, causing the soldiers present to flinch involuntarily, their bodies tensing with uncertainty about what was to come. King Thomas Black, a man rarely known for his mirth, was known to only laugh in moments of rare amusement—and even then, the act was often smeared with blood, a testament to his ruthless nature and the scars of countless battles.“When Alpha Kai met me,” Thomas began, casting a sharp glance toward his council members—each of whom bore an expression that mirrored his own anger and frustration. They had warned him against forging an alliance with Clawford, a warning meant to serve as a cautionary tale, yet he had ignored it. As anticipated, the alliance had crumbled into failure, just as they
The Luna's Groom 061 | Husband's Best Friend.
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
The Luna's Groom 060 | Nemesis or Trouble?
E L E A N O R “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
