Perseus gasped sharply as Eleanor froze in place, her muscles locking under Ravon's spreading control. His grip on her mind slithered deeper, tendrils of dark influence coiling tighter as he reveled in her horrified realization of what she'd just done. The satisfaction radiating from him was almost palpable, thick and cloying like blood in the air.

Around them, the entire village seemed to hold its breath.

Severus collapsed to his knees, the impact sending up a small cloud of dust. Tears streaked through the dirt on his face as his broad shoulders shook. Beside him, Bernadette stood rigid, her fingers twisting in the fabric of her skirt. Her lips moved silently in desperate prayer, clinging to the fragile hope that her plan might still work despite everything unraveling before them.

"Oh no," William whispered, his voice cracking as he wiped at his nose with a trembling hand.

Aurelia's breath hitched. "She did it. She actually did it." The words came out hollow, dis

  • The Luna's Groom   Volume II [The Dragon's Bride]

    ELEANOR:My husband forgot my face. My child kicks beneath the scars he gave me. The council whispers I should burn what's left of him and rule alone. But when the dragon looks at me? It remembers. It hungers. They say love survives all. I say some fires burn too hot. I won't beg. I won't break. And if the man I married is truly gone? I'll teach the beast what happens when you forget a storm in a black dress. PERSEUS:I remember the weight of my crown. The scent of my enemies' fear. The way fairies scream when they burn. But her? The woman with my marks on her throat? The one whose belly swells with my heir? My mind says "Kill the fae."My claws say "Claim." My fire... my fire sings her name. I slaughtered a kingdom to keep her once. What's one more war? **** AUTHOR'S NOTE:This isn’t a sequel—it’s the second half of the storm.The Dragon’s Bride picks up exactly whereThe Luna’s Groom left off—no time jumps, no breathing room.

  • The Luna's Groom   098| Fall Of The King.

    A U T H O RPerseus barely managed to block another vicious strike as Eleanor's sword came at him with unnatural speed. The force of each blow sent shockwaves up his arms, his muscles screaming in protest. Confusion clouded his mind as he stared into her eyes - those familiar emerald green eyes now burned with a hatred he didn't recognize. The woman before him looked like Eleanor, moved like Eleanor, but the rage twisting her features made his chest ache with a pain deeper than any physical wound. What could have possibly gone wrong? The question screamed in his mind between clashes of steel. Why is she trying to kill me?"There's something inside her." Ryder's voice cut through their mind link, tense and urgent. "I can hear him speaking, Perseus. It's Ravon. He's possessed her completely." Perseus barely deflected another killing stroke, the impact vibrating through his sword. "What? How?" "I don't know, but I can barely sense Eleanor anymore. It's like... like he's suffocated

    A U T H O RSeverus’ voice was tight, disbelief sharpening every word. “How did she even get the blade? We searched everywhere. It was supposed to be a myth. She’s not even a lycan—how can she possibly—” Perseus wasn’t listening. His gaze locked onto the dark veins spreading beneath Eleanor’s skin, the unnatural flicker of blue light flashing in her eyes as she stared back at him. Something was wrong. Terribly wrong. He took a step forward. “Perseus, what the hell are you doing?” Severus snarled through clenched teeth, his grip tightening on his weapon. Perseus ignored him. His sword hit the ground with a dull thud. He wouldn’t raise a weapon against his wife—not like this. Not when she looked at him with hollow eyes, her expression blank, as if she didn’t even recognize him. “Eleanor?” His voice was soft, cautious, the way one might speak to a wounded animal. She didn’t respond. Just kept staring, unblinking. “Darling, you weren’t supposed to be here. How did you get back?”

  • The Luna's Groom   096| Calculated Promises.

    E L E A N O RThe numbness in my chest shatters like thin ice. One moment I'm drowning in guilt over my mother's death, the next - Reina. My wolf. My other half. Gone.I had convinced myself she was just punishing me. That our stupid argument had made her retreat deep inside my mind, and she'd come back when she got over her tantrum. I never imagined... never considered...Ravon's words explode in my skull with the force of a cannon blast. "Wolfsbane. Your cell. That night." The memories flood back unbidden - the crippling cramps that doubled me over, the hot blood soaking through my clothes, the pain so intense I blacked out. I had mourned Tobias' child. Blamed myself for not knowing I was pregnant. Except I was never pregnant at all.Perseus bringing me breakfast that morning. His gentle hands helping me clean up afterward. All of it calculated. Planned."You're lying." The words scrape my throat raw. "Perseus wouldn't—""He did." Ravon flicks the torch in his hand, sending a shower

  • The Luna's Groom   095| Unbearable And Bitter Truth.

    E L E A N O R The tears won't come. My eyes burn with exhaustion, too dry to weep, or maybe I'm still trapped in that numb shock that follows unbearable truth. I watch helplessly as my mother's last breath leaves her body, her chest going still just as my father bursts into the room. Ravon's cold palm slams over my eyes before I can see his reaction. When he removes his hand, the world has shifted again. Now I stand in the center of a cavern, the rough stone walls illuminated by flickering torches that cast dancing shadows across the uneven ground. The musty scent of damp earth and smoke fills my nose, snapping me back to my own body. The dull ache of pregnancy that had been my constant companion is gone, replaced by this new, sharper pain - the weight of what I've just witnessed, what I've just learned about myself. My fingers tangle violently in my hair, pulling until my scalp stings. A silent scream builds in my throat, escaping as nothing more than a choked gasp that makes R
