The word hangs in the mist like a blade.

Grandma.

Greta goes rigid beside me, and I can feel her shock in the hand I'm holding—her fingers are cold and trembling. She’s staring at the little girl in Esther's arms, taking in the dark hair that matches her own, the face that looks so much like her daughter did at that age.

The girl—maybe seven or eight, small for her age—clings to Esther's coat, her eyes fixed on the wolves circling the settlement, on Damian's tense stance, on Maya's raised knife

  • The Rejected Luna's Second Chance   CHAPTER 157: Bird's Letter

    Gracia's POVMy Love Gracia,If you are reading this, then I am already gone. I am sorry. I am sorry for the lies, the deception, and the silence. I wanted to tell you so many things, but I was too afraid. I am a coward. I have always been a coward.I found out days ago. Ellie confirmed it. I am pregnant.When she told me, I felt my world collapse. I hoped it would be yours. I prayed it would be yours. But I know it's not. I know it's his. Castor's. The monster who took everything from me. The monster who took you from me.I cannot have his child. I cannot bring a life into this world that carries his blood. That child would be innocent. That child would have done nothing wrong. But I cannot look at that child and see him. I cannot raise a child who would remind me of that day every single moment.So I chose to leave. I chose to end this. It is the only choice I have left.

  • The Rejected Luna's Second Chance   CHAPTER 156: Broken Bird

    Gracia's POVThe year came to an end. Winter had arrived.The basement grew colder with each passing day. The small window with its iron bars let in drafts that cut through our thin clothes like knives. Our wounds hurt more and healed slower. The cold seeped into our bones, making every movement ache. I watched Ivy shiver in her sleep, her body pressed against mine for warmth. I held her tighter, trying to shield her from the cold. It was all I could do. It was never enough.My and Ivy's life became a rhythm. Wake in each other's arms, eat whatever scraps we were given, get beaten by Castor while holding Ivy, and then she heal me. I made sure nothing happened to her. I positioned myself between her and Castor every time. I took the blows meant for her. I endured the pain so she wouldn't have to. Castor laughed at us while beating us, mocking our devotion."Look at the little rat protecting his whore," he would sneer. "How touching. How p

  • The Rejected Luna's Second Chance   CHAPTER 155: Stolen Moment

    Gracia's POVThe basement was colder than usual. Not just the damp stone, but the silence. It had a different texture after a death—thick, heavy with ghosts of voices that would never speak again.I sat in the corner, Ivy’s head on my shoulder. Her tears had soaked through my shirt. She’d been crying since she learned about Jorden’s death, quiet shuddering waves that had subsided into hollow, trembling exhaustion.I stared at the empty space where Jorden used to sit. Hours ago, he’d been there. Breathing. Talking. Hoping. The space where Leo and Cyr used to sleep. The space where fragile hope had tried to put down roots.Now they were all dead.The watchkeeper had laughed when he kicked Jorden’s body over. I could still hear that sharp bark of amusement. I could still see the dark bloom spreading across fallen leaves. He’d dragged Jorden away like a sack of grain, the laugh fading into the tre

  • The Rejected Luna's Second Chance   #CHAPTER 154: Price Of Hope

    Gracia's POVMonths passed.The three of us remained in the basement, hollow shells of who we used to be. Ivy and I stayed in our corner, away from Jorden. We couldn't speak to him. Every time I looked at him, I saw Leo and Cyr's faces. I heard their screams. I felt the weight of their absence pressing down on my chest.Jorden was more hollow than both of us combined. He didn't eat. He didn't sleep. He just sat in his corner, staring at nothing, his eyes empty. The guilt had consumed him from the inside out. He was a ghost wearing a living body.Ivy stayed close to me. She was terrified of Jorden now, and she didn't want to be alone with him. I understood. I kept her close, my arm around her, shielding her from the world. I knew Jorden would never hurt her. I knew he was broken beyond repair. But Ivy's fear was real, and I would do anything to protect her.Ivy had changed since Leo and Cyr died. She had developed PTSD. She had nightma

  • The Rejected Luna's Second Chance   CHAPTER 153: Blood Of Brothers

    Gracia's POVThe world stopped."Jorden killed them." The words came out hollow, distant, like they belonged to someone else. I cupped Ivy's face, my hands trembling. "Ivy, explain to me properly. They can't just… they won't die like this."Ivy shook her head, her sobs wracking her small frame. She couldn't speak. Her words came out in broken fragments between hiccups."Jorden… he stole a cake. From the Alpha's room. It was for his children."I stared at her. "A cake?""A birthday cake. For the Alpha's youngest. I saw him… I saw Jorden putting something under Leo and Cyr's things. When I asked what he was doing, he said it was nothing. He told me to mind my own business." Her voice cracked. "I should have known. I should have said something."My heart pounded against my ribs. "What happened next?"Ivy wiped her face with shaking hands. "A maid said she saw one of the slaves le

  • The Rejected Luna's Second Chance   CHAPTER 152: Monster's Basement

    Gracia's POVThe basement was a tomb.It was long and narrow, carved from cold stone, with a single small window near the ceiling. Iron bars crossed it, letting in slivers of gray light and the shadows of feet passing by above. Those feet belonged to free wolves. Wolves who had never known what it was like to sleep on damp stone, to wear chains that bit into your wrists, to wake every morning knowing that today would be your last day.I learned the rhythm of this place quickly. Wake. Get beaten. Eat. Work. Be beaten. Sleep. Repeat.The days blurred together, each one indistinguishable from the last. The only markers were the wounds—fresh ones layered over old ones, pain that never fully faded. I stopped counting the days. I stopped counting the lashes. I stopped counting the reasons to keep breathing.Castor was a monster.He beat us because his coffee gets cold. He beat us because he imagined his brother was looking down
