Kenna’s POV

I knew where I stood the moment I saw the seating chart.

Jenna’s name sat beside Jace’s, exactly where it had rested before the wedding ever happened, as if the four months in between had simply been folded up and tucked away.

Mine had been moved three seats down, past two nobles I barely knew, close enough to overhear the head table but far enough to make certain I was never mistaken for belonging to it.

Nobody explained the change. Nobody needed to. To everyone in that hall, this

  • The Substitute Luna’s Revenge   Moon’s Temple Decision

    Kenna’s POVThe morning felt heavier than any that had come before it, though no one had said a single word to my face.I noticed it in the small things. A maid who used to greet me warmly simply bowed and hurried off before I could return the gesture. Two servants folding linens near the stairs fell silent the moment I passed, resuming their conversation only once I’d turned the corner. Nothing anyone could point to directly. Just distance, growing a little wider every day.I threw myself into work instead of dwelling on it, helping prepare meals for the returning farm workers, gathering supplies the healers had requested for the northern villages. Keeping my hands busy has always been easier than sitting still with my thoughts.Crossing the courtyard with a basket of linens, I noticed two mothers pull their children a little closer as I passed, the motion small and instinctive, barely anything at all.It still landed harder than any of the whispers had.Jenna arrived not long after

  • The Substitute Luna’s Revenge   First Accusation

    Jace’s POVThe silence after Elder Whitmore’s question stretched long enough to feel like its own kind of answer.“Explain yourself,” Roland said finally, his eyes moving slowly around the table before settling on the old man.Whitmore rose fully from his seat. “I only repeat what the people are already saying, Alpha. First the eastern harvest, gone overnight. Then the wolves near the border, turning on their own handlers. Now two newborn pups, failing without cause the healers can name.” He spread his hands. “None of this happened before the substitute wedding. I don’t say that to accuse. I say it because ignoring what the pack already believes won’t make them stop believing it.”“No one’s accusing Kenna directly,” another elder added quickly, though the qualifier did little to soften what everyone in that room already understood. “But the timing has unsettled people. Fear left unanswered only grows worse.”“There is no evidence connecting her to any of this,” Callum said from his p

  • The Substitute Luna’s Revenge   Pack in Fear

    Kenna’s POVWord of the sick pup had already spread through every corner of the estate before I’d even finished dressing. I could feel it the moment I stepped into the hall, servants moving faster than usual, voices dropping the second I passed, even the guards at their posts looking distracted enough to miss a greeting they’d never once forgotten before.“I’d like to help with the relief supplies,” I told Elaine when I found her in the sitting room, already surrounded by lists and baskets waiting to be filled.She gave a short nod, barely glancing up. “Fine. Jenna will lead the team.”I said nothing. I simply joined the servants loading the wagons, tying down baskets of herbs and blankets while Jenna climbed into the lead cart, already composed, already ready to be exactly what the village needed her to be.The village felt different the moment we arrived. Mothers kept their children close against their skirts. Every conversation I passed circled back to the same fear, spoken in diff

  • The Substitute Luna’s Revenge   The Council’s Debt

    Jace’s POVI didn’t speak the entire ride back. There wasn’t much I trusted myself to say, not with the image of Kenna alone in that mist still sitting behind my eyes, not with the guards flanking us the whole way like she was something dangerous instead of something I was terrified of losing.The gates gave me no chance to finish whatever I might have said to her anyway.“Alpha.” A guard met us before we’d fully dismounted. “The council’s been waiting since dawn. It’s urgent.”I left her there without another word, which I regretted the moment I crossed into the meeting hall and felt the weight of the room settle on me instead.“More fields, Alpha,” Elder Corwin said before I’d even taken my seat. “Two additional farms overnight. And now the northern villages are asking whether this will spread to their land as well.”“It’s a natural blight,” another elder argued. “Nothing more.”“Natural blights don’t burn silver symbols into the soil,” a third snapped back. “This is the Goddess’s w

  • The Substitute Luna’s Revenge   Old Chapel

    Kenna’s POVThe mist swallowed the path almost as soon as I left the estate walls, thick enough that I had to trust my feet more than my eyes. I kept my hood low and my steps quiet, the note’s ashes still fresh in my memory even though I’d burned the paper hours ago.This could be a trap, I told myself with every step. This could be exactly what it looks like.I kept walking anyway. I’d spent twenty-three years collecting nothing but scraps about my mother, a locked chest, a forbidden name, silence dressed up as kindness. I wasn’t about to turn back now, not when I’d finally gotten this close.Nearly an hour passed before the chapel came into view through the trees, half-collapsed and covered in vines, its broken windows letting pale morning light spill weakly across the floor inside. I stepped through the doorway and called out, soft enough not to carry far.“Hello?”Nothing answered but my own voice, echoing faintly off stone.I moved carefully through the ruined nave, noticing thin

  • The Substitute Luna’s Revenge   Whispers in the Pack

    Kenna’s POVI felt it before anyone said a word to me. That was always how it worked in this house, the silence arrived first, and the cruelty came dressed up in politeness right behind it.The maid who usually greeted me by name that morning simply bowed and hurried past, eyes fixed on the floor. Two servants folding linens near the stairwell stopped talking the instant I rounded the corner, their conversation swallowed so fast it left an echo behind it.By midday the whispers had stopped bothering to hide at all.“and I’m telling you, it started the moment she took the crown,” a young maid was saying near the courtyard fountain, her voice pitched low but not low enough.“Hush,” another hissed, glancing my direction as I passed. “She’ll hear you.”I kept walking, chin level, refusing to let either of them see what those words cost me. I’d had a lifetime of practice not flinching in front of people who wanted to watch me flinch.I spent the rest of the morning in the kitchens instead
