But Damian insists I can’t leave until I’ve “fully recovered;” whatever that means.I hear the SUV pull up before anyone says anything. The engine shuts off, a door slams, and I hear footsteps. Then I catch Maya’s voice, sharp and tired, calling for someone to take her bag.I push myself up, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. The room spins for a moment before settling again.By the time I reach the door, she's in the hallway. Her hair’s a mess, her clothes are wrinkled, and dark circles are under her eyes. Still, she’s smiling with that concerned look.“How are you? How are the babies? What did the doctor say? What did Gr

The SUV is covering ground, but honestly, the scenery hasn't changed much—just hills, trees, and the occasional small town. I stop for gas a couple of times, grab coffee once, but that's about it. I can't waste any time.Viktor’s army is on the move. Lucas is with him. Silvermoon can’t handle them on our own.And those two idiots, Damian and Selene wanted to tag along. I told them no. they needs to stay back, help each other, and be with the pack. This alliance business? That’s on me.The first two packs turned me down.

His territory isn’t large, but his warriors would

Viktor."I put down my cup. "Lucas?"He nods, his face pale. "You know him?""I know his mother."The trader doesn’t push further. He’s heard the stories, just like everyone else.I pay for my meal and step outside. The village is small, nestled between hills, far from the borders. Safe. For now.But Lucas is out there.

  • The Rejected Luna's Second Chance   CHAPTER 61: For Her

    Damian's POVShe’s still sleeping when I return.The medical tent is peaceful, the candles dim, and the herbal scent hangs thick in the air. Greta is at the back, sorting through bandages with her back to me. Selena lies on the cot, her face pale, a hand resting on her stomach, her breathing slow and steady.I settle down beside her and take her hand. It's cold.Greta remains focused on her work. "She’ll wake up soon.""You said that an hour ago.""She needs rest. The gift took too much out of her."I study Selena’s face, noting the shadows under her eyes and the slight parting of her lips. She seems smaller this way, almost fragile."What if she keeps pushing herself?"Greta sets down the bandages and turns to me. "The gift is tied to her life force. Each time she uses it, she sacrifices a bit of herself. If she overexerts herself before the babies arrive, she risks losing them—or h

I find Greta in the medical tent, carefully sorting through herbs, her hands steady, her expression calm."I need to train."She glances up at me. "You haven't practiced since you returned from Lucy.""I know. That’s why I’m here to train with you.""Your gift needs rest. You need rest. And the babies need rest, too."I press my hand against my stomach. "There's a war on the horizon, Greta. People are going to get hurt. I have to be ready to help them."She studies me for a long moment before she finally nods."Alright. But you have to take it easy. No pushing yourself too hard."We start with something small.A cut on her palm. I touch it and let the warmth flow through me. The wound closes up easily."Again." She makes another cut, this time deeper.I place my hand on it. The warmth comes slowly this time, hesita

    Selena's POVHours have passed since the war council wrapped up, but the maps still lie scattered across the table, weighed down by stones and marked with arrows and X's. Damian hasn't budged from his seat. He’s been staring at a particular spot on the map for what feels like twenty minutes.I watch him from the doorway. The fire’s almost out, and the room is dim except for the flickering candlelight. He looks worn out, older than he actually is."Damian."He glances up. "You should be sleeping.""And so should you."He rubs his face. "I can't. Every time I shut my eyes, all I see are them. Lucas. Viktor. The rogues."I walk over to him, taking his hand. "Come to bed.""I need to—""You need to rest." I pull him to his feet. "You can't lead if you're running on empty."He follows me, but his steps are heavy. I guide him out of the war room, down the hall, and into our bedroom. The c
