All Chapters of The Luna Queen : Chapter 61 - Chapter 67

_Leah’s POV_I sat in silence as the car moved through the dark forest. My hands were still tied and my feet still bound. My heart was beating so loudly in my chest that I thought Kayden could probably hear it. I kept my face turned to the window, trying to control my breaths, but my hands wouldn’t stop trembling.Athena stirred inside me. “Stay alert,” she whispered. “He might mean what he says, but we must be careful.”I nodded to myself, my gaze fixed outside. Trees passed like ghostly shapes, and my thoughts tangled themselves up like thorned vines. I kept seeing Tariq in my mind. He would be looking for me already. How would I hide? Going back to Blood Moon Pack was the last thing he would ever expect me to do. Maybe that was my only advantage.My heart gave a strange ache. Going back to this place that had caused me so much pain felt like stepping into my own nightmare.When the car finally pulled up at the gates of Blood Moon Pack, I felt my hands tighten into fists. Memories r

_Leah’s POV_Fred rushed after Kayden, leaving me alone in the dining hall with Ray, the Gamma. The room suddenly felt cold despite the warm tea in my cup and the golden sunlight slipping through the windows. My heart was pounding, loud and wild. Tariq was here. He had come for me.Ray gave me a glance but didn’t speak. I sat frozen. Every second felt like an hour.Athena whispered, "Stay calm, Leah. Breathe. You have the gun.

Kayden's expression was tight and serious."He is gone," Kayden said as he approached me. "Tariq came asking about you. He said you had disappeared. He believes you came here. He was... certain."My breath ca

_Kayden’s POV_I caught her before she hit the ground.Her body was limp in my arms. Her head fell against my chest. Her breathing was shallow.“Leah!” My voice broke. I shook her lightly, hoping she would open her eyes. “Leah, stay with me. Please.”Nothing.Her skin was cold, and the glow in her veins had already faded. I scooped her up without thinking. My heart was racing. My wolf, Leo, was howling in my head.“She is slipping from us!” Leo growled. His voice was raw with fear. “Do something, Kayden! Do something now!”“I’m trying,” I whispered under my breath as I took the stairs two at a time.I pushed open the door to my room and carried her to the bed. My chest was tight. My arms were trembling even though I held her close. Laying her gently on the sheets, I brushed the hair from her face. Her lips were pale.I grabbed the jug of water on the nightstand and sprinkled droplets over her cheeks. “Leah, wake up. Please wake up,” I begged.Her lashes fluttered once, but her eyes di
