All Chapters of SAVAGE LUNA : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Kael’s POV I didn’t understand why the jealousy hit me so hard. It irritated me in a way that didn’t make sense because I had seen Lyra fight before, and I knew she was good, but watching her move beside Rook felt different. She matched him without effort, and he moved with her like he had done it for years, and something in my chest tightened in a way I didn’t want to accept. It felt like my place beside her was being taken and I hated the thought of it. I tried to ignore it, but the feeling kept growing the longer I watched them. When she turned to check on the others, that feeling pushed everything else aside. I moved before I even realized what I was doing and pinned her to the tree, and her breath caught when my hands closed around her waist. I felt the heat of her skin through her clothes and her eyes lifted to mine, calm but confused. The urge to mark her came fast and strong, and it scared me how natural it felt. It wasn’t planned, and it wasn’t part of anything I had prepare

Lyra’s POV The council standing at the gate didn’t look like the same group that escorted me into Ironclaw on the first day I arrived. Back then they bowed and treated me with a kind of stiff respect, but now they acted like I was invisible. Not one of them looked at me, and the coldness in their stance made it clear they had no intention of letting any of us pass. It confused me because nothing had changed except our long journey back, and Kael returning to his own territory should have made everything easier, not harder. Kael’s expression tightened as he stepped forward. “Open the gate,” he said, his voice steady but cold. “Now.” The head council member flinched but didn’t move fast enough. Kael took another step, and his tone dropped even lower. “I won’t say it again. Open the gate unless you want me to kill you right here.” The man trembled, and I watched his hand shake as he reached toward the metal bar that locked the gate. It was clear he didn’t know what to do, and he looke

Lyra’s POV The first thing I felt when I opened my eyes was a sharp pain at the side of my head. It pulsed slowly and made it hard to think, and for a moment I didn’t understand where I was or why the ground felt colder than my skin. I tried to lift my arm but my body felt heavy, and when I shifted a little I realized my head wasn’t on the floor at all. Something warm was under me. I blinked until my eyes cleared, and when they finally did, I saw Kael looking down at me. My head was on his lap. He was sitting on the dungeon floor with his back against the wall, and he had placed me on his legs like he had been there for a long time. His hand stayed near my shoulder like he wanted to keep touching me but didn’t want to startle me. “You’re awake,” he said quietly, “don’t move yet.” I tried to sit up anyway but he pressed his hand to my arm and held me down gently. “Rest,” he said. “Your head took a bad hit.” I swallowed and tried to remember what happened. The memory came fast. Ryk

Lyra’s POV My hands were still shaking even though I kept them close to my sides, hoping Kael wouldn’t notice. Speaking up to Ryker had taken everything out of me, and the moment the words left my mouth, fear had settled in my chest, but Kael’s presence kept me grounded. He was standing right in front of me, steady and sure, and that alone made the fear bearable. When Ryker stormed out after Kael threatened him, I could finally breathe properly again. Kael looked down at me. His expression wasn’t angry anymore, just focused on me like I needed all his attention. I cleared my throat and tried to act normal. “You should go,” I said quietly. “You can’t stay with me all day.” He raised a brow. “Watch me.” I looked away because I didn’t know how to respond to that. My heart felt too warm, too confusing. He moved closer and lowered his voice. “I’m proud of you,” he said. My breath hitched and my face grew hot. I wasn’t used to anyone being proud of me, and hearing it from him made some

KAELEverything just froze. Like the whole world hit pause.Ryker’s sword was sticking out of Lyra’s stomach. All the way in. Blood was pouring out like someone turned a tap on full blast. Her shirt went dark red in seconds. Her eyes went big, then kinda blank, and she made this tiny little gasp that punched me right in the gut.She fell back. I caught her before she hit the floor. Dropped down to my knees so fast it hurt, pulled her into my lap so she was laying on me. Blood was everywhere. Soaking through my jeans, my shirt, my hands. I slapped both palms over the hole trying to keep it inside her like that would work.“Lyra hey hey look at me look at me,” I kept saying but my voice was shaking so bad it didn’t even sound like me.She coughed and blood came out her mouth. Splattered on my neck. She tried to say something but it just came out wet. Her legs weren’t moving right.The dungeon door banged open so hard it hit the wall. Rydan finally showed up with like ten guards behind h
