All Chapters of The Luna Queen : Chapter 101 - Chapter 109

_Kayden’s POV_My lungs burned like I had been running for miles even though I had not moved from the shattered window.The cold night air rushed into the room. It carried the smell of broken glass and the sharp sting of magic. I tasted it on my tongue. It was bitter and wrong.Leah was gone. Not her soul...not her spirit...but her body.I forced myself up from the floor. I was still shaking. My knees wanted to fold again. The crushing pressure in my chest still clung to me. It was like an invisible hand had been squeezing my heart. It was not illness. It was not weakness. It was dark magic. It had crawled through the bond and wrapped around my ribs.I gripped the edge of the table. “I couldn’t stop her,” I said. My voice cracked. “I couldn’t even stand.”The seer stepped back into the room. Her cloak was snapping in the wind. Her eyes were sharp but I saw the tension in her face. She hated this. She hated being outplayed.Fred was gone. He ran for help like she ordered but it did not

_Leah’s POV_My mother stepped closer and took Sarah’s other hand. Her touch was gentle.“You were not nothing,” my mother said firmly. “A man who cannot honor love is the weak one.”Sarah let out a trembling breath. My mother looked at me now. The softness in her face faded into seriousness.“Leah,” she said quietly, “please do your best to get rid of Tariq once and for all.”Her words made my stomach drop.She continued. “Or else he will keep harming innocents. He will keep hunting souls. He will keep using women like tools.”I nodded hard. “Don’t worry. Now that I have Sarah with me, we will destroy him.”Sarah’s fingers squeezed mine.“Yes,” Sarah whispered. “I will kill him.”A pulse of cold moved through the air when she said it like the astral realm heard her vow and hated it.Athena warned, Careful. Vows echo here. Do not shout them to the shadows.My mother’s gaze sharpened. “We need to move. Now.”I swallowed. “Is it getting worse?”She nodded. “Yes. It is not safe. Not aft

_Leah’s POV_As they argued, the temple began to shake. Shouts echoed from outside. I could hear the sound of running feet, clashing metal and a wolf’s roar tearing through the night.Hope flared in my chest.“Kayden,” I breathed.Athena’s voice was fierce. Yes, your Alpha is here.A group of wolves and men crashed into the temple. Some were half-shifted. Their claws and teeth were out. There were warriors from my pack and maybe others. Fred was among them. His eyes were wild with battle.Behind them came the seer. Her gaze locked onto the altar at once.And then I saw him.Kayden.He burst through the doorway with Leo close to the surface. His eyes glowed with Alpha power. His chest was heaving. His clothes were torn from the fight outside. There was blood on his arm but it was not slowing him down.When he saw my body alive and off the altar, his entire face changed.“Leah!” he shouted.He ran straight toward her.Toward Sarah wearing my skin.Sarah turned toward him. For a second,

_Leah's POV_Kayden kept his promise.A few days passed after everything that happened in the temple. After the blood. After the dark magic. After the end of Tariq.The pack slowly returned to its normal rhythm. The air no longer felt heavy with fear. The nights were quieter. The shadows did not feel like they were hiding monsters anymore.And for the first time in a long while, I could breathe without feeling hunted.But tonight, none of that mattered.Tonight, it was just us.Kayden took my hand after dinner. His fingers wrapped around mine. They were warm and steady.“Come with me,” he said.“Where?” I asked.He only gave me a small crooked smile. “You’ll see.”Athena stirred inside me. His voice is full of excitement. This is dangerous.“Dangerous how?” I asked her.Dangerous for your heart, she said.I tried not to blush.Kayden led me outside. The night was clear. The moon hung high and bright. It was like a soft white coin in the sky. The air was cool and smelled like pine and

_Leah's POV_Seven years had passed since the day I stood in the Emerald pack hall and claimed my name.Seven years since two packs chose to stand together instead of apart. And that day, the courtyard was filled with laughter instead of whispers.It was Reagan’s fifth birthday.Green and silver banners hung proudly around the courtyard, moving gently in the breeze. Flowers were woven along the railings and wrapped around the wooden posts. Long tables were set with food and the scent of roasted meat and fresh bread filled the air. Children ran between the trees, laughing loudly as their voices carried through the open space.I stood near the center of it all and watched.I still did that sometimes.I watched and made sure everyone felt safe.“You are scanning the area again,” Athena said softly inside my mind.“I am not,” I replied.“You are,” she insisted. “But this time, you are not looking for danger. You are looking at what you built.”That made my chest warm.“Mommy!”Reagan’s vo
