All Chapters of Rise Of the Silver Luna Queen : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

I set my wooden spoon down on the tray, using my calm human logic and sharp White Wolf instincts to think about what I was seeing."Kael," I spoke out softly, turning my head to look at my husband.Kael turned his silver eyes to me right away. "What is it, Lyra?""Victoria’s father is down in the yard," I pointed out the window gently. "His face looks very angry. I know Shadow Master Vane searched Victoria's room yesterday and found nothing bad inside. But Victoria is still hurt because you chose me instead of her. Her father is a rich lord, and his pride is very sore."Kael looked out the window for a short second, his handsome face turning calm and serious. He turned back to me, holding both of my hands gently in his palms."You are very smart, Lyra," Kael told me, his voice full of deep respect for my clear mind. "Victoria's father came here to talk about trade, but I know he is angry because I made you my Grand Luna. Even if Vane found no bad things in her room, we will not drop o

"Is the meeting finished?" Lyra asked gently, her clear voice sounding like music in the quiet room.Kael walked across the rug, stopping right beside her chair. The hard, strict look he always wore in front of the elders completely melted away. His silver eyes became soft and gentle as he looked down at her face."Yes, it is finished," Kael said softly.He pulled a small wooden stool closer to her armchair and sat down right beside her knees. He reached out his big, warm hand, gently taking her small fingers into his palm and rubbing his thumb over her soft skin."Did Victoria's father get very angry with you?" Lyra asked, looking into his eyes with her clear, logical mind."He tried to be scary," Kael answered in a low, calm voice. "He hinted that if Victoria was not given a high job in the castle administration, his southern pack would stop selling us cheap grain and herbs for the winter."Lyra did not panic. She did not get scared or raise her voice. She simply leaned back against

The big bedroom was very warm and quiet. The fire in the stone fireplace gave off a soft orange glow, casting long shadows across the heavy wooden floor.Lyra sat on the edge of the large bed, looking down at her hands. Kael sat right beside her, holding her hand gently inside his big palm. Her face felt hot, and her heart was beating fast against her ribs.Inside Lyra's head, her thoughts were spinning like a wheel.I cannot believe we are talking about this, Lyra thought to herself, her chest rising and falling slowly. For months, Kael and I have been so quiet and careful with each other. We slept in the same bed, we hugged, and we kissed, but we never crossed this line. The last time I was intimate with any man was eight months ago back in my old home with Xavier. And that memory brings so much pain because Xavier cheated on me and threw me away. But Kael is not Xavier. Kael has been kind, sweet, and gentle to me every single day. Still, my mind feels nervous. Is my body really rea

Chapter 77Lyra woke up slowly. Her head felt heavy, and her eyes were very tired.When she opened her eyes, she expected to see the cold stone ceiling of a dusty cave or a dark dungeon. But she was wrong.She was lying on a soft, expensive king-size mattress inside a bright, modern room. The walls were painted a smooth cream color, and shiny wooden floorboards covered the ground. Large glass windows looked out over a high balcony, but the glass doors were locked tight. High-end electric lamps sat on wooden side tables, and a big flat-screen TV hung on the wall across from the bed.Outside the window, Lyra could see a large stone driveway. Expensive black sports cars and heavy luxury SUVs were parked in a neat row. Men wearing modern dark suits and earpieces walked around the yard, holding guns under their jackets.Lyra sat up slowly on the soft bed, resting her back against the fluffy white pillows. She touched her round belly with both hands. The baby gave a small, gentle kick again

Inside the locked modern room, the heavy wooden door opened slowly.Lyra stood near the soft bed, her hands resting over her big eight-month belly. She watched the tall, older man step into the bright light of the room.He did not wear a dark mask or old leather armor. He wore an expensive dark grey suit made of fine wool, a clean silk tie, and shiny black leather shoes. He had short grey hair, a sharp beard, and cold, icy grey eyes. He looked like a very rich businessman, but his eyes were full of old bitterness and dark hatred."Who are you?" Lyra asked, her simple words clear and steady in the quiet room.The older man smiled, but his smile was cold and unkind. He stopped three steps away from her, looking at her dark hair and her round belly."I am Lord Marcus, my dear," the man said in a smooth, quiet voice. "I am Alpha Kael's uncle."Lyra’s breath caught in her throat. Her dark eyes went wide with deep shock and total surprise.Her heart beat fast against her ribs as she stared
