The Rejected Luna In the corridor,
whispers A guard behind them yelled, "Move, immediately," his voice resonating down the lengthy stone corridor. Luna followed the others, taking slow but deliberate steps while her mind remained entangled in Roman's whisper, "Do not fail me, Luna." Like smoke, his voice clung to her. Ahead, the corridor was illuminated by torches that flickered. Tall as ghosts, shadows sprung on the walls. With their hands pressed to their skirts and their heads bent, the other maidens formed a silent queue. They remained silent for their own survival. But a new sound, the waning echo of Roman's boots, rang in Luna's ears. heavy. Yes. She could still feel the weight of command in every step of his stride. He was making his way towards the inner apartments, away from the hall. And with each step he walked away, she felt that invisible link to him loosen. She reduced her speed, creating a tiny space between herself and the others. The front was the guard's primary focus. She took the
The Rejected Luna The Price of Defiance
“You’re trembling,” Roman whispered, his lips brushing so close to Luna’s ear that she felt the shape of every syllable against her skin.Her breath hitched. She hadn’t realized her hands were still shaking until the cup nearly slipped from her grasp. She forced herself to hold it tighter, to still the tremor, but it was useless, her whole body betrayed her.The hall was silent now. The guards, the maidens, even the distant servants seemed frozen, as though the very air itself was waiting for Roman’s next word. He leaned closer, his chest brushing her shoulder, the faint scent of smoke and steel clinging to him.“You thought me blind,” he murmured, his voice so low no one else could hear. “But I am never blind. Every drop, every breath, every heartbeat in this house, I own them all.”Luna’s throat ached with the need to swallow, but she forced her jaw to stay tight. If she moved even a fraction, he would feel it. He wanted her to quiver. He wanted to taste her fear.“I wasn’t, ” she b
The Rejected Luna the smallest defiance
“I saw that.” His words were soft, but they landed like a stone.Luna’s mouth went dry. The hall seemed to tilt, a thin film of sound falling away until all she could hear was the scrape of her own breath. Roman’s finger still rested beneath her chin, cool and deliberate. For a heartbeat she felt nothing but the press of it, ownership transposed into bone and muscle.“You meant it,” she said, and the words came out thinner than she intended. They were not a confession. They were a dare.Roman’s smile was a slow knife. “Did I?” His thumb brushed the soft undercurve of her jaw as if testing the texture of her cheek. “Or did you mean it? Explain.”Around them the maidens shifted like a field of reeds in wind, silent, terrified. The guards’ faces were carved stone. No one moved to speak for her. Roman watched, and in that watching he transformed the hall into a private theater where only he and she knew the script.Luna set her jaw. The wine splashed a dark bead against her palm; it was a
The Rejected Luna The Commanding Presence
“He’s here,” someone breathed, the words barely a whisper, but they carried like a lash.Boots struck stone in a slow, deliberate rhythm. Each step echoed up the corridor, filling the grand hall before the figure himself appeared. The air thickened. The chandeliers above seemed to burn lower, as if even the flames bent to his approach.Roman.Every maiden in the hall dropped into kneels before his shadow crossed the threshold. No command had been given. None was needed. His presence demanded it. Heads bowed, backs bent, not one dared to look up.Not one, except Luna.Her body resisted, frozen between instinct and pride. She hesitated. One heartbeat, then another. Just long enough for the silence to notice her.“Down,” hissed the girl beside her, clutching at her sleeve, yanking her arm.But it was too late.Roman entered.The Alpha filled the hall with nothing but his stride. Broad-shouldered, tall enough to make the room shrink, he carried himself like a predator among prey. Dark coa
The Rejected Luna His Shadow Before Him
“He’s back,” the guard whispered, and every man in the corridor seemed to stiffen.The words cut through the air like the sudden toll of a bell, low and heavy, shivering through the stone walls of the fortress. One guard adjusted his grip on his spear; another swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple jerking nervously in the dim torchlight. The maid carrying a tray of bread stumbled, the tray clattering against her wrists.Luna froze in her place at the stairwell, unseen in the half-light. Her breath caught as if someone had pressed a hand against her chest. She didn’t need to see him to know the truth of it, Roman’s presence was already crawling over the castle like a storm rolling in before thunder.“Tell the others to line up,” the guard barked, his voice trembling despite the order.“Yes,” came the hurried answer.Boots struck the floor with hollow, echoing precision. The rhythm traveled before the man himself, a sound sharper than a heartbeat, heavier than a drum.Luna clutched the raili
The Rejected Luna The Initial Test of Survival
The voice was hoarse and nearly broken as it murmured, "You shouldn't be here." With one hand still pressed against the chilly steel table that was smeared with rust from rusting instruments and chemical stains, Luna froze in place. Her mind had not conjured up the whisper. It was too incisive, too frantic, too vibrant. The lantern's faint yellow light shuddered in her hands as she twirled. Her heart pounded in her chest, a frantic drumming that seemed to reverberate throughout the empty room. A person moved forward from the corner, where shadows became deeper against a cabinet wall. A slender girl with skin as pale as bone and hair braided like coiled silk. Her eyes glinted dimly in the light, wide and hollow. Luna took a step back and stumbled. "Gods..." She gazed and her voice broke. "You're supposed to be dead," I said. As though regretting each sound, the girl's lips quiver and then clamped shut. Even though there was no breeze in the room, she trembled as her ha
