KIERAN’S POV (12)

~<>~

The pain in Ina’s voice and the anguish in her eyes made me feel ten times worse than I already felt.

I would be lying if I said Celeste’s abduction wasn’t partially my fault. I have been a distraction to Ina these past few days. If I hadn’t been, she would have been with Celeste, or Celeste would have been in her bedroom.

But–

“This isn’t the time to point fingers, Kieran. She needs us.” Alan was quick to call me back to my senses.

My eyes cut to Ina again, and before

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   139. The Burden

    SERAPHINA~~An apology… I have heard a million of those these past few weeks, but for the first time, my heart felt a wave of sincerity. One so strong I couldn’t overlook it or just walk away. I looked down at Elara Ashford, my hand tightening instinctively around Celeste’s waist. The cold gravel of the driveway must have been digging into Elara’s bare knees, but she didn’t seem to care. Her shoulders shook, her perfectly styled hair falling forward to hide a face that had only ever looked at me with cold disgust or conditional approval.Until this very moment. “Is this a trick?” Kia asked, though her voice lacked its usual venomous bite. Yes, even my Lycan was stunned into a hesitant silence by the sheer, unmasked grief radiating from the woman before us."Get up, Elara," I whispered, my voice no longer laced with malice but sounding drained by a sudden, heavy exhaustion. "Don't do this.""No," Elara choked out, her head slowly moving up, her tear-streaked face exposed to the

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   138. Family Reunion

    SERAPHINA~~“Everyone! Look who is finally here!” Remi announced the second the entrance door shut behind us. The echoes of Remi’s cheerful voice bounced off the high, familiar ceilings, but the warmth in her tone did nothing to stop the icy dread spreading through my veins.The room went completely still. At least it did for me. The soft clinking of teacups and the low murmur of conversation vanished, replaced by a suffocating silence. My eyes darted across the lavish living room, instinctively bypassing the expensive furniture and the familiar paintings that used to haunt my childhood dreams, instantly locking on the fireplace.There they were.Elara. Rolan. Ethan… every member of the Ashford family… And my daughter was there too, sitting between Elara and Rolan until she saw me. “Mama… Mama…” Celeste screamed, jumping off the couch. She ran straight to me, jumping into my arms without a single fear of falling on her face. I caught her against my chest, burying my face in h

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   137. Ashford Mansion

    SERAPHINA~~My legs carried me faster and farther than I thought. It was as if I were subconsciously trying to put enough distance between Rexton and me.Before I got here, I thought I had seen him at his worst and that he had gone as low as possible by kidnapping my daughter, but that man had once again proven me wrong. He is really unbelievable… He stole, schemed, and even tried to physically subdue me.Unfortunately for him, he had underestimated my physical strength and overestimated the power of the potion Nicola and I made… otherwise, I would have been truly stuck here… I would be helpless. “Does that mean we can leave now?” Kia asked me, her fur itching just as my own skin did. I nodded without a single doubt. “Yes, I just have to get Celeste back.” At that point, I was convinced I truly didn’t need Kieran to come here. I also didn’t see the need for the warriors Jesse was leading to the Crimson Moon Pack. I believed I could take my daughter and leave. And Kia supporte

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   136. Hero's Arrival

    SERAPHINA~~“What the hell?” Kia exclaimed within me, her already burning rage erupting like lava. “Isn’t that the potion made with your blood?” It was. Rexton clearly kept some for himself even after everyone trusted him. Nicola, Damon, myself, and every warrior who fought against the rebels.He still showed his true self despite having our trust handed to him on a silver platter. He showed that he was and would always be a backstabbing son of a bitch!“Then I will kill you, bastard.”I seethed, the hatred in my heart towards him growing fatter and taller by the second. But so did Rexton. He rose to his feet as if he hadn’t been whimpering a few seconds ago, and his scent changed, announcing the stolen power boost he had acquired.“You can try but–” “There’s no 'but,' Rexton. You are going down today, and I will put an end to all of your madness.” I cut him off confidently, bracing myself for the long-overdue fight between Rexton and me. He smirked at me, the potion circulatin

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   135. Kill Me

    ALPHA REXTON~~I was no fool. I knew Seraphina repeating herself meant trouble, and I was smart enough to know that she was stronger than me in so many ways. If we were to fight, she would win without having to lift a finger. So yes, I was no fool, which was why I had a plan… one that would ensure she stayed willingly or forcefully. I didn’t need to match her punch for punch; I just needed to outmaneuver her.“And as I have said, Sera, I’m not letting either of you leave me again! You belong with me. You and Celeste are my family and—" Before I could finish that statement, Seraphina was already in front of me, her aura flaring so intensely I felt my lungs closing. My first instinct was to protect my airways, but Seraphina beat me to that, moving too suddenly for my werewolf senses. Her fingers soon curled tightly around my throat, and in a fraction of a second, my feet moved off the floor even though I was naturally taller than she was. I clawed at her wrist, my fingers dig

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   134. Make Me

    SERAPHINA~~“Don’t yell at my Mama.” Celeste blurted before I could think of the right words to say to Rexton, who was gradually becoming agitated. Her tiny voice caused Rexton to freeze, his jaw tightening as his dark eyes snapped down to the little girl standing defiantly at my side. The sheer audacity of a pup interrupting an Alpha was enough to make the air in the room turn heavy, but Celeste didn't even blink. She just gripped my hand tighter, her tiny shoulders squared.“Go upstairs, Celeste. Your Mom and I have to talk.” Rexton muttered, his balled fists expressing the control he was hanging on to. But Celeste wasn’t making it any easier for him. In fact, she shook her head. “No.” Then she fired, her voice ringing through the living room. “I won’t let you keep hurting my Mama. She didn’t want to be here, but you made her come by bringing me here.” My daughter’s vocabulary might be limited, but she expressed herself through her tone and aura. I could feel how much she h

    ALPHA REXTON~~The feel of her lush, juicy lips on mine caused my heart to quicken with excitement. I heard myself moan into the kiss, feeling a deep sense of relief because the long period of yearning was finally over. My arms snaked slowly around her waist, tracing the familiar curves as I pu

    SERAPHINA~~“We are finally free.” Kia hummed happily in my mind the minute we crossed the invisible borderline. The air also changed, not just with the drop in the temperature, but also with the absence of the choking atmosphere of Crimson Moon Pack. The last time I felt this shift, I wanted
