The Orphan Luna Chapter fifteen
Weeks settled over Ashbourne territory in a steady rhythm. Serena rose each morning before the sun fully cleared the hills, slowly becoming accustomed to the quiet routine that had replaced the uncertainty of her old life. The early sickness had eased enough that she could walk the short path to the training grounds without stopping, though some mornings she still moved carefully when her body reminded her to slow down. Rhea met her there with the same quiet patience as she had shown on the first day. There was no pressure to prove herself and no expectation that she should suddenly become the warrior everyone believed she could be. They worked on balance and breathing more than strength, focusing on control and listening to her body. Every movement was considered carefully because Serena was no longer training only for herself. There were two small lives growing inside her, and she had begun to understand that protecting them also meant learning to protect herself.After training,

Three days after Lady Victoria’s warning the pressure only grew heavier…Damien left a council meeting early and walked toward the village bakery. He told himself he needed air but the truth was simpler, he needed answers that none of the reports could give.Mrs. Willow was wiping down the counter when he entered. The shop was quiet between the morning and midday crowds. She looked up and studied his face for a long moment before she spoke.“I wondered when one of you would come.” Damien stood near the door. “I need to know how she was treated after that night.”Mrs. Willow set the cloth aside, her voice stayed steady. “They mocked her every day. Customers, neighbors and young women who used to smile at her. They said she was a fool for believing the three of you. They laughed about the wolfless orphan who thought she could become Luna.”Damien’s hands curled at his sides. “She never answered them,” Mrs. Willow continued. “Not once, I asked her why…she said she did not want the troubl

The three of them returned to the cottage at dusk, no one had lived there since the night Serena left. Dust covered the windowsills, the small garden she once tended had already begun to wither. Damien pushed the door open and stepped inside first, Kieran and Lucien followed.Everywhere smelled of old wood and the faint trace of the soap she used to use. Everything remained in place, as if she had only stepped out for a short walk and planned to return.Damien walked into the main room. On the table sat the music box he had given her years ago, the lid was closed…beside it lay the leather journal from Kieran, its pages still marked with her careful handwriting. Lucien’s carved wooden wolf rested on the shelf above the fireplace, one ear slightly chipped from a fall she had never mentioned.Kieran picked up the journal and opened it, a pressed flower fell from between the pages. He stared at the simple sketches she had made of the three of them during quiet evenings they barely remembe

Elena found Damien in the strategy room just after midday…map covered the long table, markers showed the latest scout reports from the northern roads. Damien stood over them with both hands braced on the wood, his attention fixed on the empty spaces between the marked trails.She closed the door behind her and waited until he looked up. “You missed the morning council,” she said. “My father noticed, he asked if something was wrong.”Damien straightened. “Nothing is wrong.”Elena walked closer and rested her fingers on the edge of one map. “The alliance between our packs depends on clear focus, people are beginning to talk about how often your thoughts seem elsewhere.”He met her eyes. “The border needs watching, that is all.”“Is it?” Her voice stayed calm. “Because the name I keep hearing in the halls is not about borders…it is about a girl who left weeks ago.”Damien said nothing.Elena stepped back. “I will handle the next meeting with the southern Alphas, you should remember what
The Orphan Luna Chapter eleven
Two weeks had passed since the night they walked to Serena’s cottage and found it empty.Damien sat alone in his office after midnight, the lamp on his desk burned low. Reports waited in neat stacks, but he had not touched them for hours. He opened the bottom drawer without thinking…his fingers closed around a small object wrapped in soft cloth then he unwrapped it slowly.The bracelet lay in his palm, simple silver. One link had broken years ago during a training match…Serena had taken it from him that same evening. She returned it the next morning, the link repaired so carefully that the break no longer showed, she never asked for thanks, she only smiled and said it was nothing.Damien held the bracelet in his hand; the metal felt cool on his skin. He thought about how she used to watch him quietly from the edge of the training field. He was used to her being there, like the air around him…always present but easy to ignore.Now the office felt bigger than it should…the empty space

The next morning, Celeste brought Serena to the training grounds behind the manor.Wooden posts stood in neat rows… young warriors practiced under the eye of an older instructor while the air smelled of dust and sweat. Serena wore simple training clothes that felt strange after years of bakery aprons and worn dresses.Celeste stayed close. “We start slow, your body is already carrying two lives. We will not risk them.”Serena nodded. She still woke each morning expecting to find the cottage in Blackwood around her. Instead, she opened her eyes to soft sheets and the quiet presence of people who called her their daughter.The instructor, a woman named Rhea, handed her a light practice blade. “Show me your stance.”Serena tried. Her feet felt uncertain, the first swing pulled at her stomach, and a wave of nausea rose. She lowered the blade and took a slow breath.Rhea watched without judgment. “Again. Smaller movements.”They worked for a short time only. When Serena’s face lost color C
