Luna Maya's first test

Maya's POVThe morning sun peeked over the hills, soft and warm like honey through the sky. The castle walls glowed gold, and the air smelled of bread and damp earth after last night’s rain. I stood at the tall window in my chambers, brushing my fingers over the curtains, looking at the smoke that curled from the town chimneys below. It was a perfect day to go to the market. I hadn’t stepped outside the castle gates in weeks. My handmaid, Serin, had reminded me at least five times that I needed “fresh air and normal people.” I laughed every time she said it. “Normal people?” I asked her once. “Do they still know what that means when every conversation stops the moment I walk by?” She just smiled her soft smile and said, “Then smile louder than their silence.” So that morning, I did. When we walked out through the market gate, four guards followed us, big men in dark tactical uniforms. They kept their distance, as I had asked, but I could still feel their eyes watching even wh

Summoned by the Alpha

Maya's POVThe market slowly cleared, but not all the whispers left with it. Some people looked at me with bright faces, nodding in thanks. Others turned their heads away as I passed. It didn’t matter. Not really. At least, that’s what I told myself. We reached the fountain at the end of the market, where the air shimmered with sunlight reflected on the water. I helped Ella sit on the cool stone edge while Serin tore a strip from her shawl to wrap the girl’s scraped knee. “There,” Serin said kindly. “Good as new.” Ella smiled shyly. “I’ll bring you flowers tomorrow,” she said. “Pretty ones.” “Only if they’re not stolen,” I teased softly. She giggled, blushing, and I couldn’t help laughing with her. For a moment, it felt light again like the day might end sweetly after all that shouting. Then the hum of engines rose from the far street. Two sleek black SUVs pulled up at the edge of the market, tires crunching on gravel. The Blood Moon crest gleamed on their doors, g

Chapter 13: Slow steps & Soft Hearts

Maya’s POVEverything felt warm and quiet after Lucien asked that question.“Maya… will you marry me?”His voice stayed in my head even though he wasn’t speaking anymore. The air felt thick, like it was holding its breath. My heart beat so loudly I was sure he could hear it.I didn’t run nor hide. I just stood there, shaking a little, staring at the silver moon‑ring glowing inside the velvet box.Lucien watched me with soft eyes, waiting, not pushing.He could have ordered me or demanded it. He could have tried to charm or tease or force me.But he didn’t but waited patiently and gently.“Maya,” he whispered, “you don’t have to say anything yet.”I swallowed hard. “I…I want to answer. I just… don’t know how.”That’s when Lyra’s voice rose inside me, sweet and calm like a soft wind in a forest.“Maya,” she whispered in my mind, “you’re safe. Breathe.”My chest loosened a little. “I don’t know what to say.”“Then talk to me,” Lyra said kindly. “Let’s understand what you feel.”Lucien s

Chapter 14- Train Me Softly

Maya’s POVI held the breakfast basket in my hands, staring up at Lucien while my heart tried to jump out of my chest like a playful puppy.He smiled at me with that soft warm smile that made my cheeks feel hot. “Ready for your surprise?”I swallowed. “Yes I think.”Lyra whispered in my head, “He looks like he’s holding in excitement. Like he found a new toy.”“He’s not a child,” I whispered back.“No,” Lyra sighed dreamily, “he’s a hot Alpha.”I almost choked on my own spit.Lucien raised a brow. “Are you okay?”“Yes!” I squeaked. “Totally fine! Perfectly fine! So fine!”His lips twitched like he was trying not to laugh. “Good. Come with me.”He took the breakfast basket from my hands so I wouldn’t drop it, then nodded for me to follow. As we walked, he kept a comfortable distance that made everything inside me buzz with warm, sparkly energy.“Do I need shoes?” I asked nervously.“Yes,” he said. “And clothes you can move in.”“That sounds suspicious.”“It is,” he said with a perfectl

Chapter 15- What did I do Wrong?

Lucien’s POVThe training yard was suddenly too quiet.The air still smelled like Maya, warm, soft, and sweet but she was gone. She had run so fast the dust hadn’t even settled yet. My lips still tingled from the kiss, and my heart felt full and confused.Very confused.I stood there like some frozen statue, staring at the empty space where she had been just moments ago. The sun shined on the training ground, the wind brushed the trees, but all I could hear was the light echo of her footsteps running away.She had kissed me back, fully, soft and warm.And then suddenly, she wasn’t here. I dragged a hand through my hair.“What happened?” I whispered to myself.But there was no answer just wind.Then Kade nudged the back of my mind, huffing softly.“You scared her,” he said.“I didn’t do anything wrong,” I told him.“She ran,” Kade said. “That means fear.”“No,” I said firmly. “I know fear. She wasn’t afraid of me. It felt different.”Kade paced in my mind. “Then what was it?”I sighed

Chapter 16- The Weight Of a Crown

Lucien’s POV The servant’s smile stayed sweet and polite as she extended the tray. I took the glass of cold water, nodding once in thanks.“Appreciate it,” I said.She dipped her head. “Anything for the Alpha.” Her voice held a soft melody, too soft, too sweet and then she turned and walked away, disappearing through the far gate of the training ground.Kade rumbled inside me. “I don’t like her.”I didn’t respond immediately. I just took a slow sip of water, then wiped my face with the towel she’d brought.“She’s new,” I said after a moment.“Yes,” Kade growled, “and she’s watching us like she’s not supposed to.”I looked toward the gate again, but she was gone.It didn’t matter.My mind was already drifting back to Maya. Her flushed cheeks. Her soft gasp. The way she flew out of my arms like the kiss had set her on fire.I let out a slow breath and stared at the empty training yard.“I should check on her,” I murmured.“No.” Kade’s voice snapped sharply. “Give her space, Luc

Chapter 17- Will that be all Alpha?

Lucien’s POVRachel stepped into my office with a seriousness I rarely saw from her. She closed the door softly, her healer’s pouch at her side, her eyes focused on me.“Lucien,” she said, “I came because there’s something you need to understand about Maya.”My heart skipped, not because she knew anything specific but because Rachel rarely spoke without purpose.“Is she hurt?” I asked immediately.“No,” Rachel said. “But she’s unsettled.”Of course she was. I had seen the panic in her eyes when she ran from the training grounds. But Rachel didn’t know that. No one did.Rachel moved closer and sat in the chair across from me, her posture was steady and calm.“I’ve been observing her for weeks,” she said. “Quietly. As a healer, as someone who understands trauma patterns and I want to offer you advice before you take any major steps with her.”I leaned forward, elbows on my knees. “Go on.”Rachel folded her hands. “Maya has survived more emotional injury than physical. Her wounds won’t

Chapter 18: Follow your Heart

Maya’s POV I walked slowly down the long palace hallway, my fingers brushing the wall as I went. My heart still felt strange in my chest. Warm. Tight. Confused.I couldn’t stop thinking about Lucien.His eyes when he looked at me, the way he held me earlier, how close he had been and how fast I ran.My chest burned when I remembered it.“Why did I run?” I whispered to myself.I wasn’t afraid of Lucien. I never had been.I was afraid of me. My feelings. My wolf. The way everything felt so big and strong all at once.As I turned the corner, voices drifted from the cleaning room. Two palace maids stood inside with baskets of laundry.I didn’t mean to listen. But then I heard my name.“The Alliance meeting,” one whispered. “It’s confirmed. A month from now.”“And the Alphas must bring their Lunas,” the other said. “Didn’t you hear? It’s a new rule.”“But Alpha Lucien doesn’t have a Luna yet,” the first whispered. “Unless… unless it’s that girl. Maya.”My heart dropped to my feet.The

Chapter 19- Three Days Before Forever

Maya’s POV Three days before the kingdom wedding.Three days before I stood in front of the entire Lycan world beside Lucien.Three days before I became his bride. His Luna. His forever.My hands shook as I stood by the tall window of my room. The palace gardens stretched below, filled with bright colors and soft wind. Everything looked perfect. Beautiful. Peaceful.But inside me?A storm of feelings.My heart fluttered like frightened wings. Excited. Terrified. Warm. Cold. All at once.“I don’t know if I can do this,” I whispered to myself.Lyra’s voice stirred softly. “You love him.”“Yes,” I breathed. “So much.”“Then you can do this,” she said gently. “But it’s okay to be afraid.”I pressed a hand to my chest.Why did love feel so big?Why did happiness make me tremble?Fourteen years of being nothing… And now I was about to become queen to a kingdom of Lycans.It didn’t feel real. Some moments, it didn’t feel allowed.I touched the smooth silk of my dress. Lucien had or

We exchanged Vows under the eyes of the Moon

Maya's POVThe morning of my wedding felt like waking up inside a dream, for the first time in my life, I didn’t feel small, scared or unsure.I felt ready.The palace was glowing in soft golden lights, fresh flowers, people whispering and rushing down hallways. Everyone moved with a kind of excited buzz, like the whole world was holding its breath.Three days ago, I could barely calm my shaking hands.Today? They felt steady.My heart wasn’t heavy with doubt. It was beating with joy.I stood before the mirror while the royal maids helped me into my gown. It was soft white with shimmer like moon dust, flowing like water around my feet. My hair fell down my back in long curls, pinned with tiny silver flowers.“You look like a star,” Serin whispered.I smiled, shy but warm. “Thank you.”Lyra hummed happily in my head. “We look beautiful,” she said proudly.“We do,” I whispered back.A gentle knock sounded on the door.Rachel peeked in. “May I see the bride?”I laughed softly. “Com
