I shoved the door open. The air in the room was thick and heavy. Kael was bent over the map, gripping the table's edge so hard his knuckles were white.

Brynjar stood by the fireplace, still as a stone, arms crossed. His jaw was tight. Silas, Kael's usually calm Beta, was gone, probably already working on some plan I didn't know about yet.

They both looked up as I walked in. The pressure in their stares felt like a punch.

Well?” Kael’s voice was stripped of all its usual mockery. It was flat, hard. “Did you find your answers at the bottom of a bottle?”

I ignored the dig and went to the table. The map showed our northern border, the villages Stonepeak had threatened to burn. Every mark was a town that could be destroyed.

"The bottle didn't have answers," I said, meeting his hard look. "Just more questions. We're thinking about this the wrong way.”

“Enlighten us,” Kael shot back, straightening up. “Because from here, it looks like we have two and a half days before a good portion of our

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

    Liah's POVI woke up in a bed that felt like clouds. Not the dungeon's cold stone. My body screamed in protest when I tried to move.The twins stood watching me. Rael by the window. Kael near the door."Where am I?" My voice came out rough, unused."Our private quarters," Kael said. "You're safe here."A laugh tore from my raw throat. "Safe? The last time I was 'safe' here, your mother threw me in a cell to die."Rael moved closer. "That changes now. We know what you are."The air went still. My stupid wolf stirred inside me, happy to be near them."And what am I?" I challenged, though I already knew."Our mate," Rael said, the words final.There it was. The truth I'd been fighting since I first smelled them."I don't care," I lied. My traitorous heart beat faster."You should," Rael's voice turned hard. "It's the only reason you're not back in that cell." He threw a document on the bed. "Sign it."I looked down. CONTRACT OF MATESHIP."You're joking.""Do I look like I'm joking?" Rael

  • The Luna's Queen Revenge: Cursed To Love My Enemies   What was gone

    I blinked, pulse racing.“Don’t lie.” His tone cut like glass.Kael’s eyes narrowed slightly, studying me in a way that felt too careful, too exact. He wore a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up, showing off the detailed tattoos on his arm. He was strong and commanding, but there was something almost gentle in the way he looked at me.“No maid reacts like you did earlier. Not unless they’ve had training.”“I didn’t…” My voice cracked. I swallowed hard, wishing the floor would just open and swallow me whole.Rael stepped closer, invading my space. His tight tank top that showed off his tattoos and muscles. His blonde hair was perfectly messy, A leather jacket hung from his shoulders, but it didn’t hide how powerful he looked. Everything about him seemed dangerous, and the way he stared made me feel like he already owned me.“So what are you? A spy? An assassin hiding in plain sight?”The word assassin made my stomach lurch. My mouth went dry. “N-no. I’m just a maid. I don’t..I don

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

    Rael’s POVShe wasn’t moving.Kael ripped the cell door off its hinges like it was made of paper. The crash echoed through the dungeon, a sound that could wake the dead, but not her.I rushed in and dropped to my knees beside her. “Marin.” My voice cracked. I shook her shoulder, gentle at first, then harder. “Hey. Wake up.”Nothing.Her lips were pale. Her skin ice-cold.Panic hit me like a blade. I pressed two fingers to her neck. A pulse weak, fluttering but there.“She’s alive,” I said, my voice shaking. “Barely.”Kael crouched beside me, his jaw tight enough to snap bone. “We should’ve come sooner.”I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. Guilt was already choking me.I slid my arms under her and lifted her. She weighed almost nothing. It made my blood boil. She shouldn’t have had to survive like this.Her head fell against my chest. That scent, faint, hidden under filth and blood hit me again. Sweet. Familiar. Ours.We started up the dungeon stairs. Every step echoed. I could feel Kael’s f

  • The Luna's Queen Revenge: Cursed To Love My Enemies   It Was You All Along

    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   Impossible

    Kael's POVAurora quickly moved to support me, slipping under my arm to hold me up. I wanted to shrug her off and act like I was fine, but my legs were shaking so much I nearly pulled us both down."Stop fighting it," she said, her voice tight with concern. "You're only making it harder."I clenched my teeth, holding back a cry as pain burned through my chest.Everything became a blur as we moved through the halls. She kept a firm grip around me, her other hand pressed against my side as if she could keep me from falling apart.By the time we reached my chamber, I was drenched in sweat. She kicked the door shut behind us and half-pulled me toward the bed. Aurora knelt in front of me, eyes fierce. "What is happening to you, Kael? Don't tell me it's nothing I saw your brother, I saw the blood. You both looked like you were being ripped apart."I forced a weak laugh, though it sounded more like a choke. "We've had worse.""Don't you dare joke." Her hands caught my face, cool against my

  • The Luna's Queen Revenge: Cursed To Love My Enemies   A Single Trailing Tear

    Aurora's POV“Rael said she’s their mate.”I forced a shaky laugh. “He’s delirious, Mom. You saw that girl, she’s filthy, half-starved. Probably manipulated them somehow.”Queen Vivian’s eyes flickered, unsure. “You underestimate her.”My chest tightened. “You can’t seriously be considering this”“She smelled like them,” the Queen said quietly. “Exactly like them.”I blinked. “That means nothing! You’ve seen witches do scent tricks before.”She didn’t respond. She was slipping away, her faith cracking. That scared me more than anything.I softened my voice, stepping closer. “I’m the Luna you chose. The one you approved. Don’t let that girl destroy everything we’ve built.”Queen Vivian’s voice trembled, like she was speaking to herself.“But what if that witch was right? What if this curse won’t end until they find their true mate?”I froze. “You’re not serious.”“I’ve watched my sons suffer every night. Their veins burn, their hearts slow. I can’t lose them, Aurora.”I forced a tear to
