All Chapters of His Rejected Luna is The Lycan’s Queen: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Something snapped open in me waking up just as Aiden stabbed down the sword aiming at my chest.And when I mean snapped, I meant like a chain that had been wrapped around something enormous for twenty two years finally giving way all at once.Strength I never expected I had filled my body trembling and instantly calmed me down, relieving the pressure of fear in me in a second. The anger hit first — mine and hers simultaneously, two rages fusing into one — and then something ancient surged forward from the deepest part of me and became fully, completely, terrifyingly present.And I made a sound.A sound I had spent my entire life convinced I would never make.A sound that came from somewhere older than my body.**I ROARED.**My eyes burned blue — electric, blazing, illuminating everything in the room. My fangs dropped sharp and full. My claws tore through my fingertips long and black and ready.And the shockwave that left my body hit the room like a physical force.Nathan was thrown b

Her attention dropped to the silver restraints still around my wrists. I felt her register the burn of them — not with a scream, not with desperation, but with a cold flat irritation. Like someone disturbed from a very long sleep by a noise that had absolutely no business being that loud. She groaned low in my throat.Then she pulled.CLANK. CLANK.The silver chain snapped clean in two, fell to the ground, and she kicked it away from her with open disgust. It didn't strain. It didn't bend. It simply ceased to be a problem, and she treated it accordingly."Shit—" Marcus started. "How did she just—"Her blue eyes snapped to him immediately."Be quiet," she said, and my voice in her hands came out nothing like my voice — lower, older, carrying a weight that had nothing to do with me. "Stop being noisy. Better still — while I remain here — do. Not. Breathe."Wait — did she just— did I just tell him not to breathe? That's not — I didn't say that, I would never — WOLF WHAT ARE YOU DOING—Sh

“Wolf…Stop all these and let me the fuck out, give me my body now!!!” I shouted not understanding what the hell was going on but that didn't seem to stop the fourth wolf from coming towards me.The fourth wolf came last and she came slowly, the way something comes when it has decided it doesn't particularly care about arriving anymore. She was the darkest of them all — fur the color of deep water at night — and she moved like grief given legs. Old grief. The kind that had stopped being sharp and had settled into something permanent.She looked at me and then looked at the other three and something in her expression was desperately, profoundly sad."Look at us," she said quietly. "Look at what we are. What we've done to this girl. Her whole life — broken because of us. It would have been kinder to let her be nothing. It would be kinder still to end all of it now. Let’s all of us die here—"“What!!! Don't say that—” even if I didn't understand what was going I heard one wolf say somethi

Zara still didn't acknowledge me. Forget acknowledgment — I was being disrespected and threatened inside my own body, treated worse than a slave. Worse than a criminal. At least criminals got to speak in their own defense. I couldn't even get a response. This is humiliating, I thought, and nobody cared. "April." Aiden's voice cut through everything happening inside my head — low, direct, aimed precisely at whoever was currently occupying my face. He was trying to figure out who was still in charge. I had gone quiet and completely still for long enough that he'd noticed. "Can you hear me?" A pause. "You must be April's wolf," he said, his voice shifting slightly, recalibrating. "Am I right?" Hearing his voice did something unexpected — it gave me something to reach for, some kind of anchor outside the chaos in my head. I pushed forward harder than I had been, clawing for control with everything I had left. It didn't work. But I kept trying. "Hmm." Zara's lips curved — my lips, m

"Well, he should have shut the hell up," Zara said, completely unbothered. "And what do you care about? He's useless to me and it's not as if he's close to you."“Oh fuck. For God's sake Zara you don't just kill people for the sake of killing!!” I screamed inwardly and felt blood rise up my throat with the effort, coughing it out before I could stop it."Speak for yourself," she said flatly. "I do whatever I want, when I want. And you should be on your knees begging me to save your life right now instead of lecturing me." She paused a bit, as if thinking before she continued speaking."But you know what? You're not the one whose body I had been in." Her voice dropped into something quieter and more deliberate. "You just got lucky."I didn't fully understand what that meant. I didn't have time to ask either because the venom — which had gone quiet under the force of her surfacing, as if it had been waiting, regrouping, biding its time — suddenly pulsed back through my veins harder than
