All Chapters of Loving Luna : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The first declaration arrived before sunrise.The second came eleven minutes later.By breakfast, there were four.By the time Luna entered Black Moon’s council chamber, seven scrolls lay across the enormous black table.All bore royal seals.All contained variations of the same message.Luna Vale was to surrender.Luna stood at the end of the table, reading the final declaration.Then she looked up.“Do they know me at all?”Darius sat opposite her.“No.”“Clearly.”Selene leaned over one of the scrolls.“This one says you are an abomination against the sacred hierarchy of wolfkind.”Luna frowned.“Which one?”“King Theron.”“Never met him.”Ragnar was standing behind Selene, staring at the parchment as though personally offended by its existence.“He also calls Darius your corrupted consort.”Silence.Darius slowly looked up.“My what?”Selene bit her lip.“Corrupted consort.”Lucien choked on his drink.Luna covered her mouth.Darius stared at everyone.“Don't.”Luna lost the battl

The northern gates of Black Moon did not fall.They ceased to exist.One moment, ancient iron and black stone stood between Black Moon and twenty thousand enemy wolves.The next—BOOM.White light tore through them.Metal screamed.Stone exploded.Warriors threw themselves aside as pieces of the gate rained across the courtyard.Darius moved before Luna could blink.His arm locked around her waist.He turned his body, shielding her as a slab of stone crashed where she had been standing.“Darius!”“I’m fine.”“You are always fine while bleeding!”“I’m not bleeding.”Luna stared at his shoulder.A thin red line appeared.Darius followed her gaze.“…Much.”She glared.“This is not funny.”“I didn't say it was.”“You were thinking it.”“Possibly.”Another explosion shook the walls.Luna's wings opened.White-gold fire swept outward, destroying the debris before it could strike the wolves behind them.Then—silence.Smoke rolled through the shattered gateway.Twenty thousand soldiers stood

Every golden thread went dark.Luna stopped breathing.Not broken.Not severed.Dark.The connection to Darius vanished first.One heartbeat he was there—warm, furious, alive inside her soul.The next—nothing.“Darius?”He was standing inches from her.She could see him.Touch him.But she couldn't feel him.His expression told her the same thing had happened to him.“Luna.”She grabbed his hand.“I'm here.”His fingers closed around hers immediately.“I know.”“But the bond—”“Forget the bond.”Her eyes snapped to his.Darius stepped closer.“I loved you before that golden thread existed.”Her chest tightened.“And I'll love you if it never comes back.”Behind them, hundreds of thousands of wolves had gone completely silent.Mates stared at each other.Some clutched their chests.Others called names.Panic spread through the valley.“My mate!”“I can't feel him!”“Where's my bond?”“What happened?”A woman screamed.An Alpha shifted.Another wolf collapsed.Fear moved faster than fi

Silas Veyne stared into the ancient white fire.It had been silent for ten thousand years.Ten thousand years of guarding it.Ten thousand years of keeping gods, kings, wolves, and monsters away from this place.Ten thousand years since Aurelia had looked him in the eyes and made him promise.Do not let him find what remains of me.Silas had kept that promise.Until tonight.The white flame pulsed again.“Your choice is going to get us both killed,” he muttered.Aurelia's voice drifted from the cave.“You have been saying that for ten thousand years.”“And I've been correct for ten thousand years.”A soft laugh answered.Silas frowned.“You find this amusing?”“Sometimes.”“The First is waking.”Silence.“Aeternus is losing control.”The fire dimmed.“And apparently you've created a girl who has inherited your complete inability to stay out of trouble.”The fire brightened.Silas sighed.“Yes. I thought you'd like that.”He turned toward the cave entrance.Snow fell beyond it.The nor

Nyra's name had existed for less than five minutes when the castle screamed.Not a person.Not a wolf.The castle.A deep, violent groan rolled beneath the stone floor.Luna stopped laughing.Darius's head snapped toward the door.Elias froze with one hand still hovering over Luna's stomach.Lucien's voice came from the corridor.“Please tell me that was normal castle behaviour.”Darius stood.“No.”“Of course it wasn't.”Another tremor shook the room.A glass fell from the table.Shattered.Luna immediately placed both hands over her stomach.“Auren?”Warm gold answered.Here.“Nyra?”For a moment—nothing.Then deep blue warmth moved beneath Luna's palm.Here.She exhaled.Both safe.Darius was already pulling on his shirt.Luna stared.“What are you doing?”“Finding out what that was.”“Good.”She stood.Darius turned.“No.”Luna slowly looked at him.He closed his eyes.“Right.”“Very good.”“I forgot.”“You forgot quickly.”“I just discovered I'm having twins.”“And?”“My brain i
