All Chapters of The Lycan King's Revenge Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

RyanRain walked beside me as we entered the dinner hall. She wore a long silver dress that brushed the floor and the black veil I had ordered her to keep on since we left Moonveil. The fabric was thin enough for her to see through, but thick enough to blur her features. It softened her face into something distant.Safer.The hall was set like a formal state dinner. Fenuel sat at the head, dressed in a tailored charcoal suit instead of traditional pack leathers. His council lined both sides, equally polished, equally watchful.He stood when I approached.“King Ryan,” he greeted smoothly. “Nightshade welcomes you.”I inclined my head. “Alpha Fenuel.”We took our seats. Rain sat on my right. I could feel the tension in her posture even without looking at her. She kept her hands folded neatly in her lap, her shoulders straight.Fenuel’s eyes shifted toward her after a few moments of forced small talk.“I must admit,” he said lightly, swirling the wine in his glass, “curiosity is a weakne

RainI did not cry when Ryan left the room.I waited until the door shut and his footsteps faded down the hallway. Only then did the silence settle around me, heavy and uncomfortable.My chest felt tight.The room still smelled faintly of medicine. Malcolm had left small bottles on the table beside the bed. My body felt weak, like I had run for hours without stopping. Even lifting my hands felt strange, as if they did not fully belong to me yet.Ryan’s words kept repeating in my head. “You nearly died because of your stupidity,”I stared down at the blanket covering my lap. He was right. I had almost died. And worse than that… I had made trouble for him again.A quiet knock came from the door before Malcolm stepped inside. He looked tired. His shirt sleeves were rolled up, and his hair looked like he had run his hands through it too many times.“Ah,” he said softly when he saw I was awake. “Good. You’re conscious.”“I’m sorry,” I said before he could say anything else.The words slipp

Ryan The moment the kiss ended, I knew the problem had been solved. Not in the way I expected, perhaps. But solved all the same. Rain stood a few steps away from me, her breathing uneven, her eyes wide with shock. Her fingers hovered near her lips as if she could still feel the imprint of mine there. I noticed all of that, but my mind was focused on something else - the silence inside me. For months now, every time I looked at Rain, my mind played the same cruel trick. A tilt of her head, a certain way the light touched her face, the shape of her eyes - and suddenly I would see Sapphire. Not completely. Not perfectly, but enough that it was dangerous. Enough that I would forget, even for a second, that the woman standing before me was not my wife. That illusion had been suffocating. So I had decided to end it, and I knew kissing her would do the trick. I had not arrived at that conclusion lightly. It had been a thought that followed me for days now. If my mind insisted on comp

RainI knew that look. Ryan had already decided.“No - wait,” I said quickly, the words rushing out before he could speak.Both of them turned to me.My heart was pounding so hard it almost hurt, but I forced myself to move closer to the girl.“Why did you do it?” I asked her, my voice softer now, but steady. “Why would you try to kill the Luna?”For a second, she didn’t respond. I found it surprising that she didn't also mention that I am the Luna. Was it intentional? Was it fear?Her eyes stayed on the ground, her body trembling slightly in the man’s grip.“Speak!” the man barked, shaking her arm.She flinched, a small gasp leaving her lips.“I…” Her voice came out thin, barely audible. “I didn’t have a choice.”My brows pulled together. “What do you mean?”Slowly, she lifted her head again, just enough to look at me. Her eyes were glassy with unshed tears.“They told me to do it,” she whispered. “They said if I didn’t… I wouldn’t eat.”Something inside me twisted painfully.“They g

RainWhen I opened my eyes, nothing felt real. Just the softness beneath me, the faint warmth of the room, the quiet stillness of morning.The air felt different, crisper. I noticed tiny sounds I’d never heard before - people moving outside, leaves rustling, even my own heartbeat . It startled me.I sat up quickly, my brows pulling together. Something was different. Not just around me. But inside me.It wasn’t loud or overwhelming like last night. It was… steady and present. It was my wolf.For the first time, I could feel her clearly. She wasn't angry or restless. But I could tell clearly that she was there.A strange calm settled over me as I pressed a hand lightly against my chest.“What… happened?” I whispered to myself.The memories came back in pieces, and I remembered the field. The anger I felt before I saw Ryan in the field.My breath hitched slightly.I remembered yelling at him. Challenging him. Feeling like my skin was burning from the inside out, and then… I lunged at him
