All Chapters of Rise Of the Silver Luna Queen : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The small bathroom of the little house was quiet. I sat on the closed toilet lid, holding a tiny plastic stick in my trembling fingers. My heart was beating so loud I thought the whole world could hear it.Two lines.Two bright pink lines.I blinked once, twice, rubbing my eyes to make sure I wasn't dreaming. But the lines stayed right there. I was pregnant. A shaky breath left my mouth, and hot tears spilled over my eyelashes."Oh, Moon Goddess..." I whispered, pressing both hands against my mouth.I was going to have a baby. Not just any baby—Alpha Xavier’s baby.For two full years, Xavier and I had been mates. From the very first day our eyes met across the pack grounds, I knew my life belonged to him. He was tall, strong, and handsome, with dark hair and golden eyes that could melt my heart with a single look. People in the Crescent Moon Pack always whispered that I wasn’t good enough for him. They said I was too quiet, too soft, too ordinary to be the mate of a powerful Alpha. Bu

The white ceiling of the pack clinic was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.A sharp, awful smell of antiseptic filled my nose. For a few seconds, my mind was completely blank. I didn’t know where I was or why my body felt so unbelievably heavy. But then, like a tidal wave hitting a shore, every terrible memory came rushing back the gathering hall.Emily’s hand wrapped around Xavier’s arm.The cruel rejection.The horrific pain of the mate bond tearing apart.My heart panicked. My hand flew instantly to my lower stomach."My baby..." I choked out, my voice raspy and dry. "Goddess, please... my baby...""Calm down, Lyra. Breathe."The pack doctor, an older man with gray hair named Doctor Thomas, walked quickly over to my bedside. He placed a gentle, steady hand on my shoulder."Is my baby gone?" I sobbed, tears instantly blinding my vision. "I bled... I saw the blood...""The baby is still here, Lyra," Doctor Thomas said softly, his voice full of quiet sympathy. "It is a mirac

The dark forest was dead silent, except for the heavy sound of my own breathing.Six large, dirty men stepped out from behind the thick trees, their yellow eyes glowing in the moonlight. They wore torn clothes, and sharp iron daggers hung from their belts.Rogues.My heart hammered against my ribs like a wild bird trapped in a cage. Instinctively, I took a step back, pressing my hand over my stomach to shield my baby. The cold night air felt sharp against my skin, but cold sweat was pouring down my back."Look what we have here," one of the men sneered, his voice rough and deep. He was tall, with a nasty scar cutting through his left eyebrow. "A little Crescent Moon girl wandering all alone in the dark.""She’s pretty," another rogue chuckled, taking a slow step toward me. "And she looks lost.""Stay back!" I shouted, trying to make my voice sound strong and trying to be brave but it trembled. I reached down to my side, grabbing a heavy tree branch from the ground. I held it out in fr

A small, cold smile touched the corners of Kael's lips, but there was no humor in his eyes."Do you really think so little of me, Lyra?" Kael asked softly. He set his glass down on the table and stood up. He walked slowly toward the bed, his tall, broad frame casting a long shadow across the room. "Do you think I need a broken, discarded girl to bargain with a fool like Xavier Nightshade? If I wanted Xavier's land, I would take it by force."He stopped at the side of the bed, looking down at me. Up close, his Alpha presence was overwhelming—not suffocating or terrifying like Xavier’s rage, but solid, steady, and dangerously powerful."Then why am I here?" I whispered, my voice shaking slightly. "What do you want from me?""I brought you here because I have a proposition for you," Kael said. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a folded piece of crisp white paper, and tossed it gently onto the bed beside my hand. "And because you need protection."I looked down at the paper, then bac

On the tray sat a large porcelain bowl of steaming hot beef and vegetable soup, a basket of freshly baked warm bread, a plate of fresh red apples, and a tall glass of clean, cold water. The rich, savory aroma of the soup filled the air immediately, making my mouth water."Good afternoon, Lady Lyra," Martha said, lowering her head in a polite bow. "My name is Martha. I am the head housekeeper of the Alpha's private quarters. Alpha Kael gave explicit orders for me to prepare a rich, nourishing meal for you. He mentioned that you have suffered a great deal of exhaustion and need to regain your physical strength."I blinked in pure surprise, staring at the woman. In the Crescent Moon Pack, after Xavier rejected me, even the lowest-ranking omega servants had treated me with cold disdain, turning their heads away or whispering insults behind my back. But this woman, a servant of our rival pack, was speaking to me with genuine respect and care."Thank you, Martha," I whispered, my throat fee
