The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 20: Cracks in the Mask
Kael’s POVI called the meeting in the small council chamber with three advisors present. Selene arrived escorted by two guards. She kept her posture straight and her expression calm, but I saw the tension in her shoulders.“Until further notice,” I said evenly, “Lady Selene’s movements within the Citadel will be restricted. She will remain in the guest wing unless accompanied by my men.”The advisors exchanged glances. Selene’s smile stayed fixed. “Of course, Your Majesty. I understand the need for caution.”She left without protest. But the way she looked at me before she turned told me she wasn’t done. Not by a long shot.Seraphina’s POV>>>>>>I heard about the decision from Elias after breakfast. Unease settled low in my chest. Part of me felt relieved that Kael had taken action. Another part felt guilty. This was happening because of me. Because Selene had come here to watch me. Because I was still causing problems even after leaving Black Hollow.I spent the rest of the morning
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 19: Breakfast of Lies
I walked into the dining hall the next morning and felt the difference right away. The usual quiet conversation was missing. Guards stood inside near the walls. Servants moved quickly and kept their eyes down. Elias was already at the table, but he looked uncomfortable, tapping his fingers against his cup. Kael hadn’t arrived yet.I sat down across from Elias. “Did something happen?”He opened his mouth, then closed it again. Nobody answered right away. The silence made my skin prickle.Selene arrived a moment later, looking composed in a simple gray dress. She took the seat beside me and gave a small, tired laugh. “Apparently I caused quite a stir last night.”I frowned. “What do you mean?”She sighed, folding her hands neatly. “One of my messengers was detained. His Majesty seems to believe I’ve been spying. I only wanted to send updates home. My family worries. Surely that’s understandable.”A few nobles nodded slowly. Some looked uncertain. Selene sounded hurt, like she had been u
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 18: Midnight Questions
Kael’s POVThe guard brought Selene into my study just after midnight. She wore a heavy robe thrown over her nightclothes, hair still loose from sleep. Two soldiers stood at the door. She kept her chin high, but I saw the flicker of surprise when she noticed the intercepted messages spread across my desk.“Your Majesty,” she said smoothly. “There must be some misunderstanding.”I leaned back in my chair and studied her. “Then explain the messages.”She glanced at the papers. “Black Hollow wanted reassurance that the alliance remained stable. I was gathering information. Nothing more.”Her voice stayed calm and reasonable. Technically true. But incomplete. I had dealt with enough court players to recognize when someone was testing how much I knew.The captured messenger was dragged in next. The man’s hands shook as the guards pushed him forward. At first he tried to protect her. Claimed the letters were routine reports. Then I asked him directly why every message focused so heavily on

I showed up at the training yard the next morning even though my body still ached. Captain Lira had me running drills again, then told me to spar with one of the newer guards. I tried to focus. But the moment I spotted Selene standing at the edge of the yard, watching with that calm, interested expression, everything fell apart.She looked flawless in her cloak. I missed a block and took a hit to the ribs that knocked the air out of me. I hit the ground hard. When I got up, Selene clapped softly.“Don’t worry, Seraphina,” she called out, voice carrying across the yard. “Nobody expects you to be good at this yet. You’re doing your best.”The words sounded like encouragement. A few soldiers nodded in agreement. But I heard what lived underneath them. The same thing I had heard for years. Poor Seraphina. Always trying. Never quite enough. Heat climbed into my cheeks. I gripped the staff tighter and kept going, but my movements stayed clumsy.Lira ended the session early. “Clear your head

For a second I thought I had heard him wrong. “Selene?”The servant nodded. A knot formed in my chest. The garden suddenly felt smaller. Colder. Of all the people who could have appeared at the Citadel, Selene was the last one I wanted to see. Memories hit hard and fast. The dressing room. Her fingers on my necklace while she warned me not to split the seams. The way she had stepped forward so smoothly when Lucien chose her in front of everyone.I had spent weeks trying not to think about Black Hollow. Now it had come looking for me.Elias noticed right away. “Hey. You don’t have to see her if you don’t want to. I can make an excuse.”Before I could answer, another servant hurried into the garden. “His Majesty requests Lady Seraphina’s presence in the receiving hall.”I followed him through the halls, legs heavy. When we reached the hall, Kael stood near the tall windows. Selene waited a few feet away, looking as perfect as always in a deep blue traveling dress. Her golden hair caught

Training that morning went about as well as expected. I swung the staff too wide on a simple block and lost my balance completely. The ground rushed up fast. I landed hard on my side, dirt sticking to my sweaty cheek. Lira sighed but didn’t say anything. She just motioned for me to get up and try again.I pushed myself to my feet when a familiar voice called out from the edge of the yard. “I’ve seen people fight sacks of grain with more grace.”Elias leaned against a post, arms crossed, grinning like he’d caught me stealing pastries again. Heat rushed to my face. I grabbed the practice staff from the ground and threw it in his direction. It landed well short, bouncing harmlessly at his feet.“Very threatening,” he said, laughing as he picked it up. “Truly terrifying. My brother should be shaking in his boots.”“Shut up,” I muttered, but I was smiling despite myself. Lira told me we were done for the day. I wiped my hands on my cloak and walked over to him. “Don’t you have important ro
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 6: The Contract
Morning arrived before I felt ready for it. I stood still while Mara and two other attendants helped me into a dark green dress. The fabric skimmed over my body without squeezing the life out of me. No corset. No pins digging in. No whispers about seams splitting.I kept waiting for the comments an

I couldn't sleep. I lay in the big bed staring at the canopy above me. The fire had burned low and thrown long shadows across the room.My arm still tingled where Kael had touched me. The warmth wouldn't leave. It dulled some of the sharp ache from the broken bond, but it left me restless.I kept t

The vehicle rumbled through the night. I sat pressed against the leather seat with my bag clutched in my lap. Every bump sent a fresh ache through my chest.Black Hollow already felt a lifetime away. Elias had handed me an extra coat at the last minute, but that was all. No proper goodbyes. All tha
The Lycan king's Unwanted Luna Chapter 3: The sacrifice
The tears had dried. My face felt stiff. When I finally stood, my legs nearly gave out beneath me. The bond still throbbed with every move, dull and heavy in my chest.I pushed the door open and stepped into the hallway. The pack house had gone quiet. Distant music and laughter drifted from the m
