All Chapters of The Four Princes and The Rejected Luna: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The cold morning wind blew across the big castle yard. Guards in heavy iron boots walked around, looking angry and upset. Word had spread very fast across the whole castle. Lord Garrick had just stopped giving out half of the gold coins used to pay the soldiers.Inside the bright strategy room, Kael stood near a large wooden table. He was looking at a map of the snowy mountains. Standing around the table were his brother Lucan and three loyal squad leaders."Garrick thinks he can make us starve," Kael said. His voice was low and strong. "He took away half of our gold today. He thinks I will run back to his daughter and ask for help.""The soldiers are scared, Kael," Lucan said softly, crossing his arms. "They have families to feed in the lower village. If they do not get paid full gold by next week, some of them might leave.""They will get their pay," Kael said. He pointed his finger at a dark spot on the map, far to the north. "Garrick is not the only person with gold and food. Lord

The small royal convoy moved slowly along the narrow mountain road. Heavy grey clouds hung low in the sky, and tiny white snowflakes blew softly through the cold air. The giant pine trees on both sides of the trail were covered in thick white snow, looking like quiet silver giant guardians standing in the dark woods.Up ahead, Kael rode his big black war horse. His broad shoulders were wrapped in a heavy dark fur coat, his golden eyes sharp and alert as he watched the snowy trees. Beside him rode Lucan, along with six loyal royal guards carrying heavy iron spears and sharp silver swords.Inside the black wooden carriage, Seraphina sat on the soft velvet seat, holding a thick woolen blanket tightly around her shoulders. Her dark eyes were fixed on the small glass window, watching the cold mountains pass by.Her mind was full of mixed feelings. She thought about everything that had happened over the last few days—the loud argument, Kael’s desperate love confession in his private room, a

"Prince Jaxon sends his regards!"The scarred leader’s loud words echoed off the high canyon walls like a roll of thunder. The wind blew hard, kicking up white snow all around the narrow pass.Inside the dark carriage, Seraphina’s heart stopped for a second. Jaxon. It was Prince Jaxon who had hired these killers. He wanted Kael dead so he could take the Alpha crown and marry Aurora for her father’s silver.Outside, Kael stood tall in the deep snow, holding his long silver sword tight in his right hand. He did not look scared. His golden eyes glowed with a dark, terrifying fire, and his broad chest rose and fell as he let out a low, deep growl."Lucan!" Kael shouted, his strong voice cutting right through the howling wind. "Protect the carriage! Do not let a single one of them get close to Seraphina!""Got it, brother!" Lucan called back, drawing his two sharp silver daggers and stepping right in front of the wooden carriage doors. The six royal guards formed a circle around the horses

The old wooden door shut with a heavy thud, cutting off the sharp bite of the freezing wind.Inside, the mountain cabin was pitch dark and very cold. Outside, the blizzard howled like a angry beast, blowing thick white snow against the small glass window. The wind shook the wooden walls, but the strong cabin held firm against the freezing storm.Kael stood near the door, his chest moving up and down as he caught his breath. In the dark, his golden eyes glowed softly like two warm lamps. He turned his head and looked at Seraphina. She was sitting on a dusty wooden bench, shivering in her cold, wet clothes."Are you hurt?" Kael asked. His deep voice was soft, filling the quiet dark room."No," Seraphina whispered. Her lower lip trembled from the extreme cold. "I am just... very cold."Kael moved fast. He walked across the room, his heavy boots making quiet sounds on the dusty floorboards. He knelt down right in front of her. His big, warm hands reached out and gently cupped her cold fac

The harsh mountain blizzard stopped as fast as it had started.When the morning sun peeked over the high frozen peaks, the grey sky turned into a clear, bright blue. Sunlight bounced off the thick white snow, making the whole forest sparkle like silver.Inside the small wooden cabin, the fire in the hearth had died down to quiet red embers.Seraphina opened her eyes slowly. She felt extremely warm and safe. Her head was resting on Kael’s broad chest, and his heavy arm was wrapped securely around her waist, keeping her tight against his side. She could hear the slow, steady beat of his heart under her cheek.She looked up at his handsome face. He was still sleeping peacefully. Without his usual strict Alpha frown, he looked younger, soft, and remarkably handsome.Seraphina smiled softly. She raised her hand very gently and used her fingertip to trace his strong jawline.Kael’s long eyelashes fluttered open. His golden eyes locked onto hers instantly, glowing with immediate warmth. A sm
