All Chapters of The Lycan King's Revenge Luna: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Ryan“For a man who assaulted me over her, you’re pretty fucking cold to your own Luna,” Roderick said, his voice low but carrying across the room like it was meant to. “Why is that, Ryan?”It wasn’t a question. It was bait.The room went quiet. Conversations dipped. Heads tilted just a fraction. Everyone was listening without looking like they were listening. The kind of attention that prickled along my spine.Rain had gone completely still beside me. I felt it where my hand rested at her waist - the sudden tension running through her body, the way she tried to keep it hidden.I didn’t answer right away. Let the silence stretch.I knew exactly what this was. Pack wars didn’t start from nothing. They needed a spark, a story people could swallow. The Northern packs couldn’t afford to strike first. But if they could paint themselves as the victims… if they could claim they were only defending themselves… then everything would change.I’d already laid hands on Roderick once, but that was

RainI didn't kiss Ryan because I wanted to, I kissed him because of Roderick. That was it.Roderick had that look on his face - the one that said he thought he’d figured everything out. Like he knew exactly where Ryan’s limits were, exactly how far he could push before something snapped.And he was right.Ryan was cold with me. Everyone could see it. Anyone watching us long enough would swear we barely tolerated each other.So when Roderick pointed it out, when he said it out loud like that, in front of everyone I knew exactly what he expected.He expected everyone to see how distant we were. Or how awkward we would look if we tried to prove them wrong. I didn’t think about it too much. If I did, I probably wouldn’t have gone through with it.I just stepped forward and kissed him.At first, it was supposed to be quick. Just enough to make a point. Something sharp and embarrassing that would wipe that knowing look off Roderick’s face.But the second my lips touched Ryan’s… something

Rain“By the way, that was a pretty good kiss back there. We should definitely do it again… sometime.”I still couldn't believe he said that. He was toying with my feelings, but I wasn't going to let him win. I didn't want him to think I was flustered by his statement, so I simply nodded, and gave him a quick look. Instantly, I regretted looking.I could see how his shirt clung slightly to his skin, still damp at the edges, outlining the shape of him in a way that was hard not to notice. His hair was darker now, wet strands pushed back carelessly, a few falling forward again as the car moved. Even like this - fresh from something raw and violent, he looked put together. Too put together.Like nothing ever truly shook him.Except I knew that wasn’t true. I’d just seen it.Malcolm broke the silence first, his voice tight. “Where are we going?”Ryan didn’t look at him. His gaze stayed forward, calm again on the surface, like he’d tucked everything back where it belonged.“Back to Nightf

RainDespite my suspicions about Malcolm, I gave him one more look and I decided that he might have been in deep thought because of something else. “Anyways, sorry I went off on you. It's just that like I said, I've gotten stronger now, yet since we got to Shadow bane, he still refuses to acknowledge it. And I don't get why he's being this way.” He looked away for a second, rubbing the back of his neck like he was deciding how much to say. When he finally looked at me again, there was something more serious in his expression.“Ryan isn’t doing this just to be difficult,” he said. “He’s doing it because he doesn’t want to make the same mistake twice.”I frowned. “What mistake?”He exhaled slowly. “Sapphire.”The name alone shifted something in the air.“She was born a Beta,” he continued. “Strong. Fast. More than capable. But she never really learned how to fight. Not properly.”I crossed my arms loosely, listening.“Ryan blames himself for that,” Malcolm added. “He thought… he had t

RyanKade shouldn’t have reacted like that.Of all the things I expected when we arrived at Shadowbane, that wasn’t one of them.I knew about his obsession with Sapphire. Everyone did, at least those close enough to notice. He never hid it well - how he watched Sapphire, how he spoke about her like she was something just out of reach, something he could have if things were different.Unhealthy didn’t even begin to cover it.But this?Slipping like that in front of everyone - calling Rain “my love” with that look on his face -That was a mistake. A careless one. And Kade wasn’t usually careless.Which meant something about this had shaken him more than I thought possible.He recovered quickly, at least on the surface. Mumbled something under his breath, straightened his posture, and tried to pull himself back together. But it was too late.The moment had already passed, and everyone who mattered had seen it. Including me.I didn’t say anything. There was nothing to say without making i
