All Chapters of YOU BELONG TO ME,MY LOST LUNA : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The Wolf’s ConfessionSerena’s POV“Kale, open your eyes. Don’t you dare leave me at this time.”My voice cracked, trembling as I pressed the cool cloth against his burning forehead. His skin felt like fire beneath my fingers, sweat beading across his temple. His breaths came shallow, broken, like each one might be his last.“You heard me, Kale, right?” I whispered fiercely, even as tears threatened to spill. “You don’t get to just… collapse on me and vanish into thin air. Not after everything that happened between us. Not after you promised...”His lips parted, and a faint groan escaped, low and hoarse. “Serena…?”My chest seized at the sound of my name on his tongue. “Yes. Yes, I’m right here for you. It’s me.” I leaned closer, clutching his hand. “Just breathe for me, calmly. Please. I’ve got you.”His hazel eyes fluttered open for the briefest second, glazed with fever, unfocused. Still, they found me, always me, even with everyone else around.“You… stayed with me,” he rasped.“A

The Past Came Knocking Serena’s POV“Wolf Queen…”The whisper still ringing in my mind as I slipped silently through the moonlit corridors, cloak wrapped tight around me. I hadn’t told Kale. I couldn’t. Not after what happened earlier between us, his kiss, his demand, his refusal to take half of me. My heart was already in shreds.But that whisper… it wasn’t a dream. It was real. Someone was out there. Someone who knew.And only one person within these walls might have the answers.“Maester Kyn,” I said as I stepped into the dimly lit chamber, the scent of parchment and ink thick in the air. “I need you.”The old man looked up from his desk, his pale eyes sharp despite his age. “You shouldn’t be here at this hour, child. The walls have ears. And tongues.”“I don’t care,” I snapped, closing the door behind me. My voice trembled, anger and desperation tangling together. “You’ve kept things from me. I heard it tonight; the name. Wolf Queen. Don’t tell me you don’t know what it means.”K

Siege of RavenfallSerena’s POV“Do not let go of my hand, Serena,” Kale growled, his voice vibrating like thunder as our horses thundered across the valley, dust rising beneath their hooves. “If they dare deny us Lyra, I swear by the moon, I’ll paint Ravenfall’s stones with blood.”“Kale, listen to me...” I tried to steady my breath, but my heart was already clawing at my ribs, choking me. “We can’t walk in there reckless. If you lose your temper, they’ll use it against us. Ronan… he planned this. He wants you to snap.”Kale’s head snapped toward me, his eyes glowing like molten gold. “What he wants is to steal my heir. Our heir.” His voice broke on the last word. “And you expect me to sit still? To watch him hold my daughter and call her his?”I swallowed hard, my throat dry. “No. But if we fight now, if war breaks out in those halls, Lyra is the one who’ll suffer. That’s what he wants. You know it.”Kale slowed his horse enough to lean toward me, his scent enveloping me, wild pine

The Blood OathSerena’s POV“Serena Nightingale,” the High Councilor’s voice boomed, echoing through the hall. “The time for secrecy is over. The prophecy cannot be ignored, nor can the constant bloodshed that follows you. Tonight, you must choose. Stand with Kale, King of Lycans, or surrender to Ravenfall’s claim.”The chamber erupted in murmurs. My palms were clammy, my throat dry. They were asking me to decide my fate before the eyes of every Alpha, Elder, and warrior in both kingdoms.Kale’s hand brushed against mine, barely a touch, but enough to ignite fire along my skin. He leaned close, his voice low and rough. “Serena, don’t let them corner you. Whatever you say, I’ll protect you.”I swallowed hard, meeting his molten gaze. “Even if I choose wrong?”His jaw tightened, and I knew it was difficult for him, but willing to go by any choice I decide to make. “There is no wrong choice if it’s yours.”My heart ached so badly. If only he knew the wars tearing through me.From the opp

Divided CouncilKale’s POV“Enough!” My voice thundered like a heavy rain across the council chamber, completely silencing the sea of arguments battering my ears since we arrived at the chamber. I rose from the high seat, slamming both palms on the carved oak table in annoyance. “If you all intend to bicker like children while my daughter’s life hangs in the balance, then perhaps this council is no longer needed. It would be shameful that you all sit here doing nothing while my daughter's life is in great danger.”One of the older councilors, Brannic, sneered. “With all respect, my King, it was your reckless handling that has brought us to this precipice. Ravenfall has already laid claim to the child. You would drag us into war without considering the blood cost?”“Blood cost?” I growled, my claws slicing into the wood. “My child was poisoned in my own palace. Do you dare tell me about the cost? Should I rather keep calm to satisfy your ego and avoid blood costs? Won't you be among th
