All Chapters of The Banished Luna's Awakening: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The silver blade’s poison had done its work. His stolen features had melted away completely, revealing the true face of the broken man beneath — the one who had once been a loving mate before grief consumed him.Elena’s own body was failing rapidly. The strain of the forced resurrection, combined with the emotional devastation of killing the man she loved, was tearing her apart from the inside. She coughed weakly, blood staining her lips as she looked up at me with fading eyes.“You…” she rasped, reaching out a trembling hand toward me. “Please…”I knelt beside her despite the pain screaming through my own body. My family stayed close, watchful but silent.Elena’s fingers brushed mine. Her voice was barely a whisper now. “Bury us together… anywhere is fine. In the forest… under the stars… it doesn’t matter. Just… don’t separate us again. I couldn’t save him in life. Let me stay with him in death.”Tears burned in my eyes as I held her hand. Despite everything, I saw the woman beneath

Matteo’s POV One Week Later – --- The Re-Marking Ceremony The full moon illuminated the sacred clearing. Lanterns hung from the ancient trees, casting a warm glow across the gathering. Wildflowers and sacred herbs covered the ground, their sweet fragrance filling the air. The pack stood in a large circle, their faces filled with quiet hope and reverence. Everyone who mattered was present. Lara’s father stood tall and proud at the front, his strong frame radiating quiet authority. Beside him were her brothers — Kael with his calm, steady presence, Lucien—trying and failing—to hide his frown, and Ryker standing with crossed arms, looking gruff but with suspiciously glassy eyes. Gideon was there with a group of trusted warriors and elders, all watching with deep respect and pride. Our children completed the circle around us. Lyra, our eldest daughter, stood with quiet dignity, her eyes shining with happy tears. Rose bounced excitedly on her toes, barely able to contain her gig

Rose's POV I had spent the next two days studying Caius’s schedule like it was my lifeline. So when I discovered he was heading to this exclusive private bar tonight to discuss important business pack deals with his most trusted associates, I knew this was my chance. Heart pounding, I waited until the house was quiet, then snuck out through the side entrance. I changed in the car into the short, revealing dress and the black cat mask that would hide my identity. Blending in with the other masked entertainers the associates had called for entertainment that night wasn’t difficult. When Caius finally walked in and took his seat in the back private room, I made my move — crawling to him on my knees just like the other girls. **** My heart was hammering so hard I could barely breathe. I knelt in the middle of the dimly lit private room at the back of the bar, my knees pressing into the soft carpet. I was in a fully submissive stance — back straight, thighs spread just enough, head r

Caius's POVI stepped into the pack house feeling strangely lighter than I had in a long time.The encounter with the masked girl at the bar had left me unsettled in the best way. Her scent — or lack of it — still lingered in my mind. The way she had responded to me, the way she had looked at me through that black cat mask… it was like nothing I had ever experienced.I was still thinking about her when I walked into the main hall.“Mom? Dad?” I called out.Mom's voice rang out from the living room, bright and full of energy.“Caius!”She appeared around the corner and immediately pulled my head down into a warm, tight hug. Even though I was much taller than her now, she still managed to make me feel like a pup again.“Look at you!” she laughed, squeezing me tighter. “You’re getting taller every single week. What are you boys feeding on? Soon you’ll be taller than your father!”I chuckled softly, wrapping my arms around her. “Good to see you too, Mom.”Matteo stood a few steps behind h

Caius’s POVWe stayed like that for a long time — her still trembling in my arms, my cock softening inside her.I had never felt more alive.She had been perfect. Responsive. So fucking right.But then she froze.And the words that came out of her mouth shattered everything.“Caius… I… I need to tell you something,” she whispered, voice trembling. “I’m not who you think I am. I’m Rose. Your sister. I’m the girl who left for the human world at fourteen. I’m the one who came back. I’m the one you’ve been calling your mate… but I’m your sister.”I froze.My entire body went rigid as her words sank in.*Rose.*My sister.One of the very people in my family I had sworn to protect for the rest of my life.The girl I had just fucked senseless.The girl I had called my mate.I pulled out of her slowly, sitting back on my heels, staring at her in disbelief. My mind was spinning, refusing to process what she had just said.“No,” I said, voice low and rough. “That’s not funny. Take off the mask.
