Aurora’s POV

The witch knew. The witch knew I wasn’t the one.

Panic was a live wire in my chest, threatening to crackle out of control. I pressed myself harder against the wall, my mind screaming.

This couldn’t be happening. I had come too far, schemed for too long, to be undone by a cryptic hag in the woods.

Rael’s turned back was a portrait of rejection. He didn’t want me. He wanted a cure I could never provide.

And then, the thought came, unbidden and venomous: if it wasn’t me… who had been near them enough to make the curse stir? Who had they been sniffing around like common dogs?

Marin. That piece of trash.

I should have known. I saw the way they looked at her. Rael’s jaw would get tight when she was near. Kael’s eyes would follow her around the room without him even noticing.

They couldn't hide it. Wolves can't fake their instincts. Their bodies always tell the truth.

And her? She pretended to be so shy and quiet. But I saw the look in her eyes when they paid attention to her.

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

    Liah’s POVTwo days.That’s how long I’d been rotting in this cell. Two days without food, without water. My throat burned raw, my stomach twisted in on itself, and every breath felt like it scraped my ribs.But the worst part wasn’t the hunger. It was knowing Aurora had won.I lay curled on the bench, lips cracked, tongue thick. My hands shook as I pushed myself upright. The air stank of rust and damp stone. My head swam from the emptiness clawing inside me.When the door creaked open earlier, I’d begged. “Please. Just water.” My voice had come out hoarse, pathetic. The guard hadn’t even looked at me. He’d dropped the plate just outside the bars, far enough that I couldn’t reach it, then locked the door and walked away.That plate was still there. The bread stale, crawling with ants. A reminder. A taunt.Aurora’s laughter still rang in my ears. Her voice, sweet and poisonous, telling them I was jealous, that I was nothing. And they’d believed her. At least enough to put me here.I c

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

    "Hold on a second," Rael spoke and the guards paused."You just found out it was missing an hour ago. That's a really big search for one necklace. Are you sure you didn't just lose it somewhere?"For a second, I felt a flicker of hope. He was being logical.But Aurora was ready. Her face instantly looked hurt. She turned to the Queen, her eyes filling with fake tears. “Do you hear this, Mom? He's taking her side. My dad's necklace is gone and he's acting like I'm the one causing problems." She let a tear fall. "I was just so upset. I wasn't thinking straight."Rael, who had been quiet, finally spoke up. "Hey, no one's saying you're wrong to be upset. We're just saying maybe we should slow down. Make sure we have the whole story.""Slow down?" Aurora's voice broke with a sob. She held up the necklace. "It was in her bag, Rael! How much more of a story do you need? Are you defending her now?"She looked at the Queen, playing the perfect victim. "I just wanted my family's things to be s

  • The Luna's Queen Revenge: Cursed To Love My Enemies   A little white lie

    Rael’s POVI couldn't stay in my room. Pacing didn't help. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Marin's face when they dragged her away. That look in her eyes - not guilt, but shock. Like someone had punched her in the gut.My wolf was restless. Pacing inside me like it wanted out. This wasn't normal. She was just a thief. A hybrid. So why did my chest feel so tight?I needed to talk to Mom. Maybe she could make sense of this feeling. I headed toward her rooms, my footsteps loud in the quiet hallway.That's when I heard it. Aurora's voice from around the corner."Don't worry, it's handled," she was saying. Her voice was different. Cold. Confident. "Of course she's locked up. Nobody questions my word against a servant's."I stopped walking. Pressed myself against the wall.A quiet laugh. "Yes, I set her up. Planted the necklace myself. She was getting too close to them. This was the only way to get rid of the problem for good, and it worked perfectly, oh well it was just a little white l

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

    Aurora's POV“You called for us, Your Highness,” Maris whispered.I didn’t rise. Silence stretched, and I watched them shrink in real time, like flowers caught in frost. Finally, I said, calm but firm.“Yes. I did.”I let my gaze settle on them, sharp and deliberate. “What are your names?”“Tess, Your Highness.” The small one squeaked it out, her heartbeat rattling against her ribs.“Maris, Your Highness,” the other said, braver or simply hungrier.I allowed a smile. “Good. Now I’ve heard it from your own mouths. So I’ll know exactly who to blame if either of you disappoint me.”Their fingers twisted white in their skirts, heads lowering further.“You two,” I went on, voice smooth, “seem close to Marin, don’t you?”They flinched. Tess whispered first, “Y..yes, my queen.”“Don’t be scared,” I said lightly. “Tell me, what do you know about her?”Tess’s eyes darted to Maris, a silent plea. The girl was screaming without making a sound. “Why, Your Highness? Is she… in trouble?”I snapped

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

    Liah’s POVThe dagger slipped. It flew through the air, straight toward my face.I didn’t think, I just moved.My hand shot out.Snap.I caught it. The handle stung my palm. The sound was loud in the sudden silence.No one made a sound. Everyone froze.I stood still, holding the dagger. I knew it looked wrong. I’d caught it too well, like someone trained to fight.I looked up.Rael was stopped halfway to me, arm still out. He had been trying to block the dagger for me.He was breathing hard, staring at the blade in my hand. He looked shocked.Stupid, I thought.I jerked back my hand as if the steel had burned me and dropped the dagger. It clattered loudly on the stone.“S..sorry!” I said, my voice high and scared. “It was an accident! I just got scared!”But it was too late.The crowd began to growl softly. I saw their eyes glowing. They were suspicious.Rael stood up straight, watching me closely. He wasn’t angry anymore, he was studying me.Then Aurora spoke. Her voice was sweet but

    I groaned as my eyes cracked open, morning light stabbing through the small window. My head felt heavy, my chest heavier.“Ugh… I knew the plan with Jace was a mistake,” I whispered to myself, voice rough from sleep. “Now my friends hates me. How am I supposed to stay sane in this cursed palace?”I dragged myself out of bed, dressed, and gathered the pile of linens for duty. Every step down the corridor made my chest tighter, dread curling in my stomach.Tessa was in the laundry room bent over the table, sorting piles of uniforms. She didn’t even glance at me.My throat burned. I couldn’t stand it anymore.“Tessa,” I said softly, setting the stack down. “About yesterday… it wasn’t what it looked like with Jace.”Her shoulders stiffened, but she didn’t turn. The sheet in her hands slipped, falling back into the water with a wet slap.“I didn’t mean for you to get hurt,” I tried again, setting the basket down. “Jace was just helping me. That’s all.”Still nothing. My stomach twisted.I
