Danielle’s POV

The note in front of me sits on the tray beside the untouched porridge, the neat black ink still catching my eyes as I remain still staring into the sheets.

Eat something. You need your strength.

—Rhett

Strength. The word for some reason feels like mockery in my head and all I can do is just sit there at the edge of the bed, staring at the written note that somehow feels louder than his voice.

He’s everywhere, even when he’s not. In the guards posted at my door. In the silence that hums through this part of the mansion. In the way Aaliyah, the maid he assigned to me, knocks softly before entering, as if the air itself answers to him.

“You haven’t eaten,” she says, stepping in with her gentle, springlike voice.

“I wasn’t hungry,” I murmur.

Her brows knit. “You’ll need it for your session today Luna.”

I glance up. “Session?”

“With Elder Mira,” she says. “The Alpha ordered that your Luna training begins immediately.”

“Training?” I repeat, almost laughing. “Is th

  • The Wolfless Luna And The Alpha King   Chapter 37

    Danielle's POV“I don't like her company around you!” Rhett growls, the minute we head out, nodding slightly at the guests smiling around us.I turn facing him with an arched brow, wondering why he’d made that statement. “Well good thing your opinion on whom I'm meant to hang out with, doesn't count!” I snap.“You're not to be seen anywhere with her, Danielle,” he protests.“You don't own me Alpha,” “Last time I checked, I do,” he says with a smirk, staring into my eyes.And almost in an instant, the air between us becomes stiff as we leave the gathering hall. For some reason, I can still hear Lady Seraphine’s laughter echoing faintly behind us, excited, happy, everything I wish I could be in a room full of eyes that weigh me like an outsider.Rhett walks beside me, now suddenly silent. Too silent. His hand occasionally brushes mine when the corridor narrows, but he doesn’t say anything.It’s ridiculous how aware I am of every sound, the faint click of his boots on the marble floor,

  • The Wolfless Luna And The Alpha King   Chapter 36

    Danielle’s POVIf there’s one thing worse than being unwanted and rejected by a pack, it’s being watched by that same one.Every pair of eyes in the room right now is on me.The hall shows with the laughter of men, I presume to be wolves—ladies of obvious great caliber, and servants bubbling the whole place with trays.And me?I feel like a misplaced chess piece when around other members of this pack, shiny enough to notice, but not enough to matter. And I hate that for myself.I shift slightly in my chair, forcing a polite smile at the guests seated across from me.And across the room, Rhett is talking with a few Alphas and elders. I watch the expression on his face harden from a distance, that cold façade that somehow still commands every heartbeat in the hall. He hasn’t looked my way since we arrived. Which apparently is fine by me. I stay quiet in my chair watching him from a distance. As always, he’s wearing black again. Of course.

  • The Wolfless Luna And The Alpha King   Chapter 35

    Danielle’s POVThe next morning, I wake up expecting the same heaviness from the night before. That sharp ache behind my chest that no amount of sleep can fix.And this time, no knock on the door, no sound of servants whispering beyond the hall as usual. Not even Aaliyah’s cheerful voice from the door, like other days.I sit up slowly, the covers slipping from my shoulders. And my head throbs slightly from all the thinking I did last night, thinking about what I heard, what Rhett said to Devon, what it meant.You might have to let her go.The words keep echoing in my head like a curse. But now… now, I don’t feel rejected. I feel angry at myself for ever choosing to eavesdrop.But then again, If he’s going to discard me, he could at least have the decency to do it to my face.I drag myself out of bed, wrapping a robe around my shoulders, as I head for the window. I watch how wide the gardens stretch outside, the perfect rows of roses, guards patr

  • The Wolfless Luna And The Alpha King   Chapter 34

    Rhett’s POV“Fuck, she—must have heard what we’d just said a couple of minutes ago,” I growl, raking through my hair as I pace in my study.“How sure are you man?” Devon asks, standing by the door with a hand over his hips.Without a glance at him, I continue on my steps. Convincing myself that I’m right about what I think about what happened.“She did,” I reply.“Well, if you say so. What do you intend to do now?” He asks, a bit of concern edged in his tone.My insides tighten from hearing that exact question. The same one he’d asked a couple of minutes ago about the Council’s decision about her stay here and now this. ‘All of this is becoming a lot!’ I growl to myself.And for some damn reason, I can still hear her voice from earlier in my head, pained, refusing my help. “The Alpha is obviously busy.”I’ve been called every name under the moon, faced enemies with claws and teeth, and I’ve never felt a wound sting like those words did.I told myself it didn’t matter. That she’d coo

  • The Wolfless Luna And The Alpha King   Chapter 33

    Danielle’s POVFor once in a long time, I don’t feel like the fragile one in the midst of others.The Gathering went better than I could have ever imagined. I replay the way Lyra’s smile cracked from earlier, the way the other women leaned in like they’d just witnessed something scandalous and glorious all at once.That Aaliyah herself can barely contain her pride the whole ride back.“My lady, you were fire today,” she keeps saying. “Did you see her face? I thought she was going to choke on her tea.”I can’t stop smiling, even though part of me knows it’s pointless. “I saw that.”“First time in years someone shut Lyra up like that. The women of the pack will be whispering about it for weeks I tell you.”“Perfect,” I murmur, staring out the SUV window as the mansion gates come into view. “Then maybe they’ll whisper something useful for once.”When the car pulls to a stop in the courtyard, I take a deep breath and step out. Seeing the hustle and bustle of the guards and servants of the

  • The Wolfless Luna And The Alpha King   Chapter 32

    Daniell’s POV“Well I’m quite proud of the fact that you could notice,” she says with a smile.I straighten in my position, staring back at her. Waiting for whatever damn response she has to give this time. But to my surprise, she says nothing afterwards. Instead, she smiles at me.For a moment, the soft murmurs in the room fill up the void and alert me that I’d won this round in particular.Lyra on her end, turns away from me without another word, pausing by a cluster of noblewomen. Everyone of them straightens, waiting for her to speak. And then in an instant, her voice drops, soft enough to sound private but loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.“I do wonder,” she says, glancing toward me this time, “if the Luna finds all of this,” her hand waves vaguely at the gathering, “—a bit… overwhelming.”The women around us titter, as I stare at myself. Every eye staring, judging from within and either talking about the fact that I don’t belong here.I set my cup down carefully, the
