All Chapters of The Rise of a Forsaken Luna: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

SERAPHINA~~When my back hit the lushness of the bed, and I felt the softness of the scented pearls against my back even before I could force my eyes open to see them briefly, I instantly realized that Serena had been planning this getaway for a while. But neither Kieran nor I got to take in the beauty of the decorated bedroom… or even the bed. I could bet that Kieran didn't even notice the petals as he hovered over me, his eyes darkened with lust. He didn't give me time to breathe, let alone inspect the room. His hands moved with a swift, ruthless efficiency, hooking into the sides of my underwear and stripping them down my legs in one seamless motion, tossing them into the shadows of the room.I was completely bare beneath him now.And I loved it more than words could convey.A sharp, breathless gasp tore from my throat as the cool air hit my skin again, but Kieran once again replaced it with his heat. His hands slammed onto the mattress on either side of my head, his large bo

KIERAN’S POV~~For the first time in as long as I could remember, my mind was entirely silent.There were no words from Alan. No thoughts of looming threats. No tactical calculations about the situation in the realm. No restless Beta instincts are consuming my mind. There was just one thing… or more appropriately, one person. Seraphina. My Ina. My woman. My mate. My heart. My everything. My forever. I could hear the steady rhythm of Seraphina’s breathing against my chest, and the profound, unbreakable weight of our bond settled deep into my very marrow.After she confirmed that I belonged to her just as much as I owned her, my eyes closed on their own, satisfaction coursing through me. My eyes remained closed as I lay there in the room that had suddenly become quiet. Through the mark fresh on her neck, I could feel the soft, warm hum of her soul intertwined with mine. I was also able to tell the second she fell into a deep sleep, her heartbeat slowing but still music to my ear

SERAPHINA~~The quiet that followed my mindless confession was so loud I could hear the faint chirping of the birds that were still soaring high above the cabin.Kieran. He froze.The two plates he had in his large hands remained suspended mid-air, his broad shoulders locking up as if I had just hit him with a soul-shattering spell. For a second, the cool, infuriatingly confident man who had just won our little game of tease and seduction completely vanished.For a split second, that control he had disappeared, leaving him weak to my seductive skills. Through the bond, a wave of raw, unprocessed emotion from him hit me so hard it brought tears to the backs of my eyes. It wasn't just desire or possessiveness anymore. It was more like a shockingly sincere awe that echoed deep into my soul. Even Kia’s breath hitched within me while she watched through my eyes as my mate slowly turned around to face me.“Our…” My Lycan corrected. “He is our mate, Sera.”I didn’t have the strength to

SERAPHINA~~I wished I could say that I was happy to go back home. Yes, I missed my daughter and my family. Maybe I also missed having a regular life with Kieran—hell no! That was a big fat lie with an ass bigger than mine. I didn’t miss regular with Kieran, not after the breathtaking days we just spent alone in that cabin—which I must say was made just for sex. So yes, I missed Celeste, my brother, and the sister-in-law who had helped Kieran and me escape the real world. However, going back to them wasn’t as pleasing as the thought of staying back in the cabin. “Choosing orgasm over your own daughter? Wow, Sera.” Kia muttered within me, her mockery so loud it drowned out the sound of the engine as Pete drove the car closer and closer to the palace. “Like you are any better.” I scoffed internally, cold shivers running down my spine as Kieran took my hand in his, giving it a small but firm squeeze. An innocent touch, but the effect it had on me was anything but pure, and when

KIERAN’S POV~~If anyone had told me a year ago that I’d be standing in front of the entire realm and a few werewolves from Crimson Moon Pack in a suffocating velvet tunic, waiting for my mate to walk down an aisle covered in rose petals, I would have laughed in their face—or broken their jaw.Because my mind wouldn’t have grasped having any relationship with people from Crimson Moon Pack, and I hadn't seen myself getting mated because a year ago, Ina was still just Princess Seraphina. And I was a Beta she adored.Yet, here I was today, my pulse hammering within me like a trapped beast. Only I was anything but trapped. In fact, I was where I wanted to be. My hands, usually steady enough to draw a blade through flesh without a single tremor, were trembling slightly at my sides. I gripped the fabric of my trousers, flexing my fingers to hide the tension rolling off me in waves.Damon, standing just a few paces away in his full Alpha attire, let out a low, irritating chuckle throug
