My heart was still pounding from what I saw in the hall, Alpha Brom falling. A heavy, cold feeling sat in my stomach because of what I’d done.

And then I saw her.

The maid stood by the chopping block, holding herself tightly. She was pale, and her eyes darted around like a trapped animal.

She was trying to seem as scared as the rest of us. But her fear felt different. It was the fear of someone who’d been caught.

She was the wolf in the kitchen, and only I knew it.

The head guard, a man with a scar across his jaw, stepped forward.

“Listen up!,” No one leaves. No one speaks unless spoken to. You will be questioned one by one. The truth will be found.”

A young girl near the fireplace let out a scared whimper. The sound made the quiet feel even heavier.

My mind raced. The maid had the vial. She had to. If they searched us and found it on her, it would be over. But if they didn’t… she was a live wire. Panicked, desperate people were unpredictable.

The head guard pointed to Sera, the maid

  • The Luna's Queen Revenge: Cursed To Love My Enemies   A Drunken Confession

    Maris hummed doubtfully but stayed quiet. she watched me closely, as if waiting for me to mess up and say something wrong.I cleared my throat.“We shouldn’t linger in the halls. The guards are still watching us, even if we can’t see them. Talking like this..” I let the warning hang, deliberate.Tessa paled and nodded quickly. “You’re right.”, “Fine. But don’t expect me to stop asking questions.” Maris said I forced another smile, “Ask all you like. Just don’t do it where someone can hear you. Rumors are dangerous currency in this palace.”That shut them both up, though Maris’s eyes narrowed again, thoughtful.“I just need air,” I added, softening my tone. “It’s been… too much. I’ll be fine.”“Should we come with you?” Tessa asked immediately.I shook her head. “No. Stay. If anyone asks, tell them I went to lie down. I just… need a moment to breathe.”Maris frowned but didn’t push. “Don’t stay out too long. Eyes are everywhere right now.”I nodded, “I won't" ***The night air was c

    The messenger’s warning hung in the air, “Three days.”Rael’s roar shook the walls. “Get out!” he snarled, and the messenger fled.My cool act fell apart. I slammed my fist into the stone. “This is a trap. No matter what we do, we’re cornered.”Rael’s chest heaved. His eyes burned. “Then we drag the poisoner out and gut them for all to see!”He commanded his Beta. “Brynjar! Search every hall, every chamber. Tear this palace apart if you have to!”Silas, ever cautious, spoke carefully. “We can’t just throw claws blindly. We have one lead, Lucan. He’s the one who should be questioned.”I stepped forward, jaw tight. “Then I’ll go to Lucan myself.”Rael let out a short, bitter laugh. “Perfect. Go play diplomat with a snake. See how far that gets you.”He turned for the doors.Seraphine blocked his path. “Rael, where are you going?“To cool my head,” he snapped. His tone dropped heavy. “Or better, away from this nonsense.”“You can’t just walk away from this!” I snarled after him.Rael gl

  • The Luna's Queen Revenge: Cursed To Love My Enemies   No Mercy

    Kael’s POVThe door to the council room closed, shutting out the noise from the hall. The quiet inside felt heavy and tense.Mother stood by the fireplace, pressing her fingers to her head. Aurora stood near her, pretending to look concerned, but her eyes were watchful and sharp.Rael paced back and forth like a trapped wolf. "This is bad. A total disaster.""Worse than that," I said, my voice calm but serious. "Someone tried to poison two princes and a visiting Alpha right here in our home. This isn't just a disaster, it's an act of war.""But who would do this?" Mother asked, her voice tense. "Lucan? He has the most to gain if this succeeds.”"Lucan likes to take chances, but he's not stupid," I said. "Poison isn't his style. He'd rather fight us out in the open. This... this was a clever plan. It was meant to make us seem weak and break our friendships with other packs.""The Stonepeak Pack will demand answers we do not have,” Mother said, stating the hard truth.“Alpha Brom ma

  • The Luna's Queen Revenge: Cursed To Love My Enemies   The Last Toast

    On a signal from the Queen, musicians started to play. The sound was too cheerful for the mood in the room.It was our cue to move. I picked up my tray, heavy with empty glasses, and followed the stream of other maids back toward the kitchens.My mind wandered back to the poison, I had to prevent it from happening but how, The air in the hallway felt cooler, but it didn’t calm the racing in my chest.The kitchen was loud and hot. I moved without thinking, dropping dirty dishes into a tub. I had to get back to the hall. I had to see what was happening. Something felt wrong. The air felt tense and nervous.I scanned the room, my senses screaming. I need to act fast. Something is happening.That’s when I spotted her.A maid who seemed suspicious, she looked like one of the maids I saw last night. Huddled near the wine amphorae, her back to the room. She wasn't working. She was hiding. Her shoulders were hunched, tense. And in her hand, a small, glass vial.My blood went cold. The noise

  • The Luna's Queen Revenge: Cursed To Love My Enemies   The Banquet

    The great hall looked like a king's treasure. Red banners with gold wolf designs hung on the walls. Bright chandeliers lit up the shiny floors. Long tables were covered with gleaming silver plates and cups that sparkled in the light.I stood with the other maids along the wall, holding a tray of empty cups, trying to look small.My heart beat hard and fast against my ribs a wild thing caught in a cage.Queen Vivian stood. The room went quiet. She looked like something carved from stone and moonlight, fierce and unbreakable.“Let there be no doubt!” Her voice rang out, clear and hard. “The bloodline of Crimson is strong! My sons have found their fated mate in Princess Aurora. Our future is secure!”She motioned, and Rael and Kael stood. Aurora slid between them, She looked like a dream in silk and gold, a bright smile fixed on her face. Together, they looked perfect,like a painting of power. The crowd cheered. Well, most of them did. People raised their glasses and shouted.I notic
