All Chapters of The Four Princes and The Rejected Luna: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Seraphina could not sleep.She lay on the enormous bed with her eyes wide open, staring up at the gold-painted ceiling. The room was beautiful, warmed by a crackling fireplace and decorated with soft silk curtains. It looked like a scene straight out of a storybook.Yet, none of it made her happy.A single tear rolled down her cheek as she pulled the thick blanket up to her chin. Just a few nights ago, she was shivering on the cold ground beneath a tree. She knew she should feel grateful, but her mother wasn’t here to see it."Mom..." she whispered into the empty room, her voice breaking. "I wish you were here. I'm safe now, just like you always wanted."The harsh truth hit her all over again—her mother was gone, and no amount of palace luxury could bring her back. Eventually, sheer exhaustion took over her sadness, and she fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.The next morning, warm sunlight poured through the large windows. Seraphina blinked slowly, remembering everything that had happ

Seraphina ran until her lungs burned.She did not go to her bedroom to hide and cry like a helpless victim. She was not that weak little girl from the woods anymore. The humiliation in the throne room had broken her heart, but as the tears dried on her face, a hot, fiery anger took over.How dare Kael insult her like that? How dare he call her a useless orphan in front of the entire court? She had dedicated her whole life to this pack. She had saved his father’s life. She deserved respect.Seraphina marched straight into her quarters. She ripped off the elegant green gown, throwing it carelessly onto the floor. She pulled on her tight black leather training pants, a simple black tank top, and laced up her heavy combat boots. She grabbed her twin silver daggers, sliding them into the holsters on her thighs.She needed to hit something. She needed to release the rage boiling in her veins.She headed out to the private training grounds at the back of the castle. It was an isolated area s

The giant grey wolf stared at Seraphina with cold, silver eyes. It was Aurora. She had fully shifted into her beast form, and her massive body was tense, ready to spring. A low, rumbling growl vibrated in the wolf’s throat, and thick, warm saliva dripped from its long, white fangs.Seraphina did not have her silver daggers. She was completely unarmed. Her heart hammered against her ribs like a trapped bird, but she forced her body to remain still. She knew that if she ran, the wolf’s hunting instincts would kick in instantly, and Aurora would tear her to pieces before she could even reach the castle doors."Aurora," Seraphina said, keeping her voice as steady and flat as possible. "Don't do this."The grey wolf only snarled louder, its ears pinning back against its head. With a powerful leap, the massive beast launched itself forward, aiming its deadly jaws straight for Seraphina's throat.Seraphina’s training kicked in. She didn't freeze. Just as the wolf’s heavy body was about to cr

The heavy oak doors of the princess’s chambers clicked shut, cutting off the distant, chaotic noises of the palace courtyard. Seraphina stood perfectly still in the center of her room, her back straight and her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath. The silence of her room was thick, almost suffocating. Her hands were still trembling slightly, the adrenaline from the rogue attack still pumping hot through her veins.I don't know Now let me knowSlowly, she lifted her right arm and looked down at it. She touched her smooth skin with her fingers. There was no pain. There was no deep, ugly laceration from the rogue wolf’s claws. There was only a long smear of dried, dark blood across her forearm to prove that she had even been touched during the fight."How?" she whispered to herself, her voice barely audible in the quiet room.She walked over to her elegant marble washbasin. She poured cool water from a silver pitcher and began to wash the dried blood away. As the water turned
