Nyx's Pov

The gala was everything I expected and more, extravagant, grand, and humming with power. The estate where the gala was being held had been transformed into something out of a fairy tale.

Crystalline chandeliers cast shimmering patterns across the marble floor, and the scent of roses, pine, and aged wine drifted through the air. Werewolves of every rank mingled, dressed in luxury, their postures proud, eyes sharp.

And then there was me.

The stylist had worked magic. I barely recognized the reflection that stared back at me before we left, flawless skin, smoky eyes, blood-red lips, and a body-hugging emerald dress that shimmered like it had been sewn from envy itself.

The neckline was daring, the slit sinful, and for the first time in forever, I felt like a goddess rather than a ghost in someone else’s life.

Caspian had been stunned when he saw me, his gaze raking over me with unapologetic hunger. He hadn’t spoken much as we rode to the venue, but he didn’t need to. The way

    Nyx's PovHis words echoed in my head like a whisper I couldn't silence."I want you, Nyx."I stared at him, my heart thudding so loudly I thought it might drown out everything else. The heat between us was thick. My breath hitched when his hand cupped my cheek gently, his thumb brushing my lower lip like he was asking for permission.“We shouldn't.” I whispered, staring into his eyes. I could get lost in how beautiful his eyes were. “I'm asking for your permission, baby. If you don't want me to, then tell me. I'll stop.”And maybe I should have stopped him. Maybe I should have gotten up and walked out, reminded myself of the deal and my mission.But I didn’t.Because I wanted him too.So badly.He leaned in again, slower this time, giving me the chance to move away. But I didn’t. When his lips brushed mine, I kissed him back.Soft. Then deeper.His mouth claimed mine like he’d been waiting for this moment for ages. And maybe we both had. My fingers tangled in his shirt as he stood,

  • The Perfect Revenge Of The Luna Queen    Chapter 21

    Nyx'S Pov Since the day at the orphanage, I've been visiting them every day. Always in the afternoons when I have nothing else to do. And when I'm home, I spend the rest of my time in the library, buried in books. Not the romantic kind. The serious kind. Books on wolves, curses, bloodlines, magic, and ancient healers. Books that talk about pain and the strange ways it affects werewolves. Because Caspian's pain wasn’t ordinary. And even though he never talks about it, I can see it in his eyes. I can feel it in the way his body stiffens when the full moon approaches. The next full moon is in three days. Three days and he’ll go through it again. The screaming. The sweating. The way he locks himself away so no one sees the way his body convulses like it’s trying to split into two. I’ve never seen it up close, but I’ve heard the sounds from behind his locked door. It haunts me. And I don’t want him to suffer like that again. I sat cross-legged on the cold library floor, books

  • The Perfect Revenge Of The Luna Queen    Chapter 20

    Nyx's Pov The ride to the orphanage was quiet but not uncomfortable. Caspian's fingers were laced with mine on the seat between us. I stared out the window, watching the world blur past, trees bending softly with the breeze. There was a calmness to the day, and even though my heart still carried weight, there was also a strange peace I couldn’t explain. When the driver slowed down and took a left turn, my attention snapped to the building ahead. My lips parted slightly. "Wow." The structure before me stood like something out of a fairytale. It was big, but not overwhelming. The walls were painted in soft cream with colorful murals of children, animals, rainbows, and stars. The gate itself had butterflies painted on it. The playground out front looked brand new, swings, slides, a small merry-go-round. Everything looked clean, fresh, and safe. “Who designed this?” I asked, still staring. Caspian smiled beside me. “I did.” I turned to him, blinking. “Seriously?” He nodded. “Ever

    Nyx's Pov It's been two weeks since the gala. And two months since he took me from that bastard, Draven. I felt a chill anytime I wondered what would have happened to me if Caspian hadn't saved me. Because that's what I felt. He saved me from an even bigger monster. Caspian and I have come to a momentary truce. We still sleep in the same room, there's sex and a few stolen kisses and touches. Things I would never admit that I've come to look forward to. We always act like we hate each other and then, when we're alone, I can feel the tension ripple around us. I feel things, things I shouldn't feel for him. Things I would never admit because I'm scared. I loved Zade too and look where that landed me. I chided myself, Caspian was nothing like Zade. He had his moments where he was a complete asshole but aside from that, he took care of me. He spoiled me rotten. And his people, they were very welcoming of me. I felt like I belonged, like this was home. But I knew the truth. I c

  • The Perfect Revenge Of The Luna Queen    Chapter 17

    Nyx's Pov The next morning, I slipped out of bed before Caspian woke up. I didn't have the strength to look at him. I was feeling things, things I didn't want to feel because I'd been hurt enough. I watched him for a few minutes, enamoured by how peaceful he looked while sleeping. He wasn't an asshole even though I'd never admit that to him. I reached down, touching his long hair with my fingers. He stirred so I stopped touching him, my heart heavy with the thought of him waking up because I disrupted his sleep. Then, I moved to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my clothes. All my things were in the room now as Edmund had arranged everything I had bought the other day. I grabbed a robe from the closet, careful not to make a sound. Last night was a momentarily weakness. I felt the chill of the morning air when I stepped out of the room. My bare feet padded down the hallway and into the kitchen. I was starving since I didn't eat the night before so I decided to mak
