kneel Before Your Plus-Size Luna CHAPTER 67: WARNINGS IN THE MOUNTAINS
AMARA’S POVThe iron bucket slipped from my numb fingers, crashing onto the cold flagstones with a deafening rattle.Dirty scrub water splashed over my worn boots and soaked the hem of my gray wool dress.A pair of off-duty garrison soldiers sitting near the mess hall fire burst into raucous laughter."Look at the princess!" one sneered, tossing a crust of bread onto the table. "Can't even carry a bucket of water without collapsing!""Far too fragile for Blackridge," the other chimed in.I ignored them completely, reaching out with a trembling hand to catch myself against the cold stone wall.My body was running on pure exhaustion. The flogging at the punishment post two days ago had taken a far heavier toll on me than I cared to admit to anyone in this fortress. My back burned with a continuous, white-hot agony under the coarse wool fabric, my legs shook with every step, and taking a deep breath sent s

VIVIAN’S POVThe study door clicked shut behind me.I stood completely still, my head tilted toward the quiet hallway, listening with every nerve on edge.Nothing. No footsteps, no whispering servants, no patrolling guards.Good.I turned toward the massive oak cabinet hidden behind Father's enormous collection of history books. For years, I had wondered what he had guarded so fiercely within these walls. Tonight, while the rest of the household slept, I was finally going to find out.I pulled three heavy leather volumes from the top shelf. One. Two. Three.A small, satisfying click echoed through the dark room.The cabinet shifted forward an inch on concealed hinges. Behind it, built directly into the stone wall, was a narrow iron safe.My heart began pounding against my ribs like a trapped bird.Serena stepped up beside me, her breath hitching. "Mother...""Quiet," I snapped in a sharp whisper.I reached beneath the collar of my dress and pulled out a small, tarnished b

AMARA’S POVThe entire yard fell into dead, suffocating silence.I forced my head up, my vision blurry and unfocused through a veil of tears and sweat.Standing at the arched iron gate of the courtyard was a tall, formidable figure wrapped in a heavy black cloak. Silver hair caught the pale morning light, and dark, piercing eyes scanned the blood-stained square.Kael.My heart stuttered violently in my chest.For one brief, pathetic second... a tiny flame of hope flickered back to life inside my shattered soul.He came.Maybe he had realized the evidence was false. Maybe he couldn't stomach the bond breaking. Maybe he had come to pull me down from this post and take me away from this nightmare."Kael..." I choked out, my voice barely a whisper.He stepped into the courtyard, his boots crunching softly over the frozen dirt. He didn't rush. He didn't look frantic.H
kneel Before Your Plus-Size Luna CHAPTER 64: THE PRICE OF DEFIANCE
AMARA’S POVThe first thing I heard was the bell.One. Two. Three sharp, metallic strikes that vibrated through the stone floor and straight into my aching bones.I snapped my eyes open to pitch darkness. For three seconds, my mind scrambled in confusion, trying to place the smell of damp earth and rust.Then the biting chill seeped through my thin woolen blanket, and reality slammed into me.Blackridge.The desolate edge of the realm where Kael had cast me out. The place where I was no longer an Everhart, no longer a high-born noblewoman, and no longer his mate.I was nothing here. Just a bonded servant, a disgraced traitor, and a prisoner stripped of every dignity I had ever known.The bell clanged a fourth time, followed by a heavy leather boot kicking against my door."Get up, traitor!" a guard barked from the corridor.I forced myself upright, gasping as agony shot through my muscles. Yesterday’s grueling labor—hauling coal sacks and scrubbing the subterranean mess hal
kneel Before Your Plus-Size Luna CHAPTER 63: EYES IN THE SHADOWS
AMARA’S POVBlackridge was far worse than the bleak descriptions in my father's books.The moment the heavy iron-reinforced gates slammed shut behind me, I understood why soldiers dreaded a transfer here. The entire settlement was carved into the sheer, black-stone wall of a sunless canyon. Freezing mountain winds howled through the narrow stone alleyways, kicking up soot and gravel.Hard-faced garrison soldiers moved through the streets in heavy furs. No one smiled. No one looked up.The captain led me down a steep flight of stone stairs into the central courtyard. "This is where you will be stationed."I pulled my thin cloak tighter around my shoulders. "Stationed doing what?""You will scrub the central barracks, clean the mess halls, haul coal for the smithy, and carry medical supplies for the garrison healers."I looked at him calmly. "And if I simply refuse to do it?""You won't," his to

AMARA’S POV"Then take me to the truth."The old woman stared at me for several long seconds, her weathered face unreadable in the dim light of the tree line.Then, her expression shifted. The faint warmth in her eyes vanished, replaced by a sharp, assessing intensity."So you really are the girl the border patrols are whispering about," she said quietly.I frowned, taking a half-step back. "What do you mean?"She stepped closer, studying the line of my jaw, my posture, and my simple velvet dress. "The rejected mate."My stomach tightened into a knot. "Yes.""The one accused of betraying the Central Packs.""I didn't betray anyone.""I believe you," she replied without hesitation.Her instant answer caught me completely off guard. "You do?"She nodded slowly. "Guilty people usually run away from the truth to save their skin." She glanced down at the subtle bulge of the silver pendant hidden beneath my high collar. "You are running straight toward it."Before I could ask
