He continued speaking, taking a step closer while I took two steps away from him.

Ethan’s voice lowered. “I just need you to hear this.” He moved even closer as he begged for time that wasn’t even mine to give.

“Let’s get out of here,” Kieran tried to communicate the direness of the moment to me.

But before I could act, Ethan voiced, speaking so fast I almost missed some words, “You know what? I hated you for taking up space you never asked for… and I hated myself more for needing you to stay small.”

“Why? I was the lowlife in your home.” I just couldn’t believe my ears.

“You were the girl in the prophecy, or at least my parents believed that, and they wouldn’t stop talking about you. You got all the attention, and I was left to do things on my own. I hated it, Sera.” Ethan explained, his emotions running wild.

He whispered inaudibly, as if to hide his shame, “I was intimidated. I believed I wasn’t enough to uphold our family honor because why else would my parents go out of their

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   24. Disgraced Luna

    SERAPHINA~~The air felt thin. Or maybe my lungs had gotten too greedy with the past closing in on me. I wanted to turn and walk away. To disappear into the library annex and find the safety of Dr. Nicola’s medical theories or run back to Kieran, but my legs felt rooted to the marble floor.“I believe you’re mistaken,” I said, my voice steady despite the earthquake happening in my chest. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have matters to attend to.”I tried to step around them, but Camille shifted, blocking my path with a sneer. “Not so fast, doll face. You nearly ruined my dress. You owe me an apology.”I felt a spark of Kia’s bottled temper, but I inhaled deeply, calming the fire in my Lycan blood. I rolled my eyes, a gesture that suited the image I was trying to present. “I already apologized, even though you are the one who is in my way.”My nostrils flared as I took it a step further, hoping that the duo would realize I wasn’t someone to mess with. “If you can’t handle your champ

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   23. My Past Trauma

    SERAPHINA~~“We are here, Princess…” For the first time since we started the journey to the neutral ground where the gala was happening, Kieran’s voice hit my eardrums, yanking me out of my thoughts. I closed my eyes briefly, trying to calm myself and make my racing heart believe that nothing could go wrong. I mean, Seraphina wasn’t here. She couldn’t be seen even if that monster attended—“Are you okay?” Kieran’s voice resonated through the car once again. My eyes fluttered open as I nodded, “Yes. I’m okay. Everything is okay.”“Sounds like you are trying to convince yourself and not me, Sera.” Kieran’s voice sounded like the soft jelly I could always rely on. But rather than take the comfort he was offering, I glared at him and said, “You can’t call me Sera for the rest of the day, Kieran.” I immediately felt bad for yelling at him, but I was terrified he would make the same mistake when we stepped out of the car. “You really need to relax, Sera. This is Kieran, and he wou

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   22. Princess Tanya

    SERAPHINA~~It’s happening tomorrow. The gala that I have dreaded for the past week will happen tomorrow, and while I genuinely looked forward to picking Dr. Nicola’s brain, I still wish I didn’t have to attend.My stomach has been in knots, a constant tug-of-war between my desire for medical knowledge and the instinct to stay hidden in these silver mountains forever.“Don’t tell me you are overthinking again, Sera.” Those softly spoken words didn’t loosen the knots tightening in my stomach. Even though Serana wore a big smile as she stepped into my dressing room, her brows were raised as if daring me toanswer her question with the same words; she must be tired of hearing me speak. “I can’t help it, Serana,” I whispered, face-palming as I thought about everything that could go wrong tomorrow. “The life I have here is on the line—” “Not if you follow your well-laid-out plans, Seraphina.” SDerana’s royal aura was strong as she spoke, but the soothing energy of a queen was what do

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   21. A Broken Record

    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 pulled her closer… pulled her flush like... Like, I couldn’t get enough of her. “Wait for me, Sera.” Another pleasurable groan ripped past my throat, control slipping away with these words that sealed the deal for me: “I’ll come back and marry you, Sera. You just wait.” The words echoed through my being. They were more than just a vow I intended to keep. They were a lifeline I just knew I had to hold on to as I leaned in to claim those sweet lips again.But the moment fractured like a broken record. Suddenly, the happiness in those blue eyes faded, and Sera… my Sera was standing a few yards away, instead of being secured in my arms. And in her arms was a child. A baby girl. I tried to c

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   20. Ruthless Alpha

    SERAPHINA~~“Mommy!” Celeste’s shriek snapped me back to reality, and I once again buried the thought of my past like I have been doing for five years. I just couldn’t face the past, even though I have been told that doing so would hasten the healing of my soul.“You have to help me, Mommy! Please.” Celeste exclaimed amidst laughter as Kieran threw her higher. As soon as Kieran caught her, I stepped in to stop him from repeating the process. “You don’t want her to throw up all over you, do you?” Kieran chuckled deeply, holding on to Celeste’s body. “It wouldn’t be the first time.”Truly, it wouldn’t. Together with me, he has experienced the good and bad days of parenting Celeste. While my brother and Serena were Celeste’s favorite people, Kieran had stepped into the role of a dad. An excellent and available one, in fact.I watched them for a moment, my heart squeezing with a bittersweet warmth as memories flooded my mind. “We both know he wouldn’t mind becoming her dad full-

    FIVE YEARS LATERSERAPHINA~~My chest rose and fell in rapid succession. My breath was harsh and deep as the heavy wind of the valley blew past me as I dashed through the cleared path. Or even more appropriately, the wind bowed to me.Kia tore through the high valley, her Lycan legs barely touching the earth. Her heavy footsteps echoed like thunder, adrenaline gushing through me even though I was behind the scenes, watching the beautiful scenery through Kia’s eyes. Beside me was a massive Lycan with fur as dark as shadows or even the midnight itself. He was one of the biggest Lycans around, even though he wasn’t Royal like Kia, and he moved with a familiar grace that made me smile. Kieran. He has been one of the constants in my life. One that I’m grateful for— “Don’t get carried away, Sera,” Kia grunted a warning through our bond. “I might be in charge here, but I still need you to focus so we can beat him this time.” Racing with Kieran has been a relaxing activity since I
