Lumina’s steps are unsteady as she walks along the quiet trail toward the village edge. Her feet ache. Her body aches. But it’s the dull throb inside her chest that gnaws the most. She moves like someone balancing on the edge of herself, barely held together, the PhantomMoon woods whispering around her with secrets she doesn’t want to hear.

The small bungalow at the corner of the dusty lane comes into view, soft light spilling from the window. Shane’s house. A single breath escapes Lumina’s lips—not relief, but something close.

She knocks once.

Shane opens the door like she’s been waiting. Her eyes widen, surprise flashing across her features. “Holy stars, Lumina.”

Lumina forces a small smile. “Hey.”

Shane wastes no time pulling her into a hug, tight and fierce. She pulls back after a moment, holding Lumina at arm’s length. “You’ve been gone for days! No word. Nothing. I thought something happened to you after the Gala.”

“I just needed to get away,” Lumina murmurs. “Clear my head.”

    Arwan shows up at Shane’s doorstep right on time, just like he said he would. His knock is firm, measured, no hesitation. Shane opens the door first, greeting him with a short nod before stepping aside to let him in. Lumina walks into the room a moment later, wiping her hands on a towel, her dark curls tied loosely back. Her eyes land on him, soft but guarded.“You ready?” Arwan asks, tone light, gaze steady.She gives a small nod, glancing briefly at Shane. “I’ll be back before dinner.”“Call me if anything feels off,” Shane says, eyeing Arwan like she always does—with subtle suspicion hidden beneath the surface.Lumina nods again. “I will.”They leave together, stepping into his black car. The drive is mostly quiet at first. Lumina watches the scenery shift from quiet neighborhood streets to the more urban stretch leading to the restaurant district. Arwan taps the steering wheel with one hand, focused but relaxed.When they arrive, he holds the door open for her, and she steps into

    As soon as Arwan leaves, he gives Lumina a quiet promise to pick her up the next day from her friend’s place. It’s casual, almost too casual, like the whole moment never happened. Then he disappears through the main door of the hall he had come from, leaving behind only the scent of his cologne and a trail of questions.Shane walks out seconds later, her brow furrowed. She glances around, nostrils flaring slightly.“I just saw someone,” she says, voice low. “A cloaked woman… smelled like a rogue. She’s still around.”Lumina shifts, her eyes searching the same direction Shane had come from. “I didn’t see any woman. I was just talking to a man. Alpha Orion’s friend.”Shane doesn’t relax. If anything, her shoulders tense further.“Something feels wrong,” she mutters. “The atmosphere’s off. We should head back inside.”Lumina hesitates, but the unease in Shane’s tone convinces her. Together, they turn and re-enter the grand hall. The noise of clinking glasses and quiet chatter swallows th

    Dust clings to the hem of Lumina’s dress as the black car pulls away, leaving her standing at the edge of the PhantomMoon Pack border. It’s quiet here, the kind of quiet that makes every heartbeat echo a little louder. The ground beneath her feet is unfamiliar, the trees surrounding her like a stranger. Her arms remain folded across her chest, not for warmth but as if bracing against everything she’s just done.She doesn’t move right away. Her eyes linger on the road and the car disappears down. The silence in its wake is loud. Her legs ache, her body still tender from everything that’s happened, but none of it weighs heavier than the truth—that she left without a word.She doesn’t even know where she is exactly. Only that she’s far from Theon. From NorthHill. And that’s what she wanted… wasn’t it?But the way it happened—it haunts her.****Earlier that day.Theon hadn’t returned since the morning. The pack house had been unusually quiet, a tension in the air she couldn’t name. Lumin

    The hall is quiet with pressure. It sits in the room like a dense fog, crawling up Theon’s throat, clinging to his skin. Heavy, expectant. At the far end of the chamber, the crescent-shaped council table stretches wide, it’s dark wood polished to perfection. The elders sit behind it in ceremonial black, eyes sharp with judgment. His father, King Lowell, occupies the central throne, one hand resting on the curved lion armrest, the other drumming steadily—annoyed, as always. Beside him, his mother watches with her usual silent disappointment, lips pursed, gaze distant. Theon stands just behind the dais, his jaw set, every line of his body taut. Bernardo is beside him, shifting occasionally, hands behind his back, unreadable as ever. “We cannot accept that girl as your mate and Luna of our pack,” King Lowell says, voice cold and matter-of-fact. “We will continue with the arrangement we had before—” “The arrangement was political,” Theon cuts in before he can stop himself, eyes nar

  • The Lycan Prince's Blood    Chapter 100

    It’s been four days in NorthHill and Lumina feels her sanity slowly slipping, like the steady pull of the tide tugging at her. It’s suffocating, this place. Every corner seems to echo with his presence. Theon. His scent is everywhere—familiar, possessive, inescapable. The walls, the bed, the air she breathes—all of it drenched in him.She’s spent all four days in his room, locked away. Not that she’d tried to leave. Every time she even thought of stepping outside, the air shifted, the shadows lengthened. His presence was always there, like an invisible chain wrapped around her. The pack is too surrounded, the walls too thick, and he’s everywhere, watching.She’s curled up on the edge of his bed, knees pulled to her chest, staring at the cold, barren wall. She won’t look at him. She can’t. Not after everything. Not after—Her thoughts screech to a halt, but it’s too late. The memories flood her.The blood.The pain.The rejection.She suddenly begins to wonder just how cruel the moon g
