Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reclaiming His Fated Luna: Kabanata 211 - Kabanata 218

RAVENI sat across from Lucian in his study, the scent of burning cedar filling the air. The flicker of the fireplace cast sharp shadows across his face, and for a long moment, he said nothing…just stared into the flames like they held the answer to a war none of us could win. I took a deep breath, knowing I had to say it even if he didn’t want to hear it.“Lucian,” I started quietly, my voice rougher than I meant it to be, “the only reason Alpha Kieran might release that spy is because he wants to make an example of him. You know how he operates. He’ll send him back half-alive…just breathing enough to remind us what happens when anyone crosses him.”Lucian’s jaw tensed, and he closed his eyes, leaning back against his chair. His hand came up to rub the bridge of his nose, a tired sigh escaping his lips. “You think I don’t know that, Raven?” he muttered, his voice low but laced with frustration. “I sent that man because I trusted him. Because I believed he could handle himself. And no

ROWENAI was stacking plates by the counter when I heard two of the kitchen maids whispering by the hearth. Their voices were low, but sharp enough to cut through the clatter of pots and the hiss of the simmering stew. I tried to ignore them at first…Kieran’s business was his, not mine…but something in their tone made me pause.“Did you hear what happened to that spy?” one of them, Mara, whispered, glancing around before leaning closer to the other girl.“Alpha Kieran let him go. Said he wasn’t worth killing.”“What? Let him go?” the other gasped. “After what he did?”I stilled, my hands hovering over the stack of plates. Let him go? That didn’t sound like Kieran at all. He wasn’t known for mercy…especially not when it came to rogues sent by Lucian.Mara shook her head quickly. “No, not like that. They left him half dead, apparently. The guards said the man could barely crawl when they dumped him by the eastern border.”My breath hitched slightly, and I forced myself to keep wiping th

KIERANThey came to me in the night because that was the way of it…men in oilskins and furs, faces half-swallowed by shadow, voices that never rose above the low tones of wolves on the hunt.“Alpha,” Marcellus said, when the door closed and the candles guttered low. “Lucian moves like a fever across the borders. He’s coaxing your enemies, stirring up rogues. The scouts saw him with Raven’s banner on his hip.”I let the name roll in my mouth like a stone. Lucian. He had the audacity of fire: always two steps from cinder, always close enough to scorch.“Raven?” I asked slowly. “You mean the woman who crawled from under my own men’s boots and lived to whisper at taverns?”“Aye.” Marcellus thumped the table. “And he’s using her. They say she promised him…” He stopped because there were rules to how much a man could say when the Alpha’s temper could tilt the world.“Promised what?” I demanded. My voice was steady, but inside something like a wire pulled taught.“Promises are knives that cu

KIERANThe sky burned red with fire and fury when the first roar split the air. The ground trembled beneath our feet, the scent of blood already thick before the first body hit the dirt. My claws ached for release, my wolf pacing restlessly inside me, snarling to be freed. And then I saw them…Lucian’s men, pouring into our territory like a plague. A dark tide of betrayal and vengeance.“Alpha, they’ve broken through the eastern line!” Jax shouted over the chaos, his voice hoarse.“Hold them!” I barked, turning as a massive black wolf lunged at me. I caught it midair, slamming it to the ground with a snarl. My claws tore through flesh before I even realized what I was doing. The copper tang of blood filled my mouth, and something inside me snapped.Lucian’s laughter echoed from the ridge. “You should’ve stayed hidden, Kieran! You were never meant to lead!”I bared my teeth, my chest heaving. “Then come down here and see if you can take my crown, coward!”He didn’t move… but his men did
