Avery’s POV

I woke up with a surprising jolt of excitement, which I had not expected.

Maybe I was just eager to see worth life had the north had in store for me.

"Or maybe someone's eager to see a certain tall handsome king by the name of Alpha Kane today," Lea my wolf teased.

I felt my cheeks heat up. "Shut up," I muttered. But she wasn’t wrong though.

There was something about Alpha Kane that stirred something inside me, something I couldn't quite place. I just felt warm and fuzzy whenever he’s near.

And when he touched me… oh goddess, when he pressed me up against the wall last night, it felt like my body was burning for something… an ache I needed to feel. It was all very confusing.

I had never felt that way with James before, and I wondered if he felt that way about Lizzy.

When I thought about them, my heart soured. They were probably fucking right now. Lizzy must have thrown a party when I was kidnapped.

And I’m sure that James did not hesitate to make her his Luna and replace

    James POV It’s been a week since Alpha Kane took my wife from me. My eyes drifted to the weapons I'd been quietly gathering for the battle that I knew was coming, when Dorian succeeded in bringing my wife home. I couldn’t afford to lose her again. Not after everything we’d been through. But as focused as I'd been on preparing for that fight, I'd been ignoring another fight outside my door. Lizzy had been upset for days now. She has been throwing tantrums, yelling at me, and sometimes just crying because she felt that I wasn’t paying attention to her. “Avery is gone.” She would shout at me. “You need to let her go. That’s what She would have wanted. She would have wanted you to be happy with me." She always yelled but I didn’t believe her. I could clearly remember the look of hurt and betrayal on Avery’s face the day I told her that Lizzy was pregnant. She looked like she wanted to die. I can’t let that be the last memory I have of her. I have to get her back. Liz

  • A Luna of fire   Puppy in danger

    Avery’s POV It's been a week since Alpha Kane received that letter from Dorian. I remember that because he's been avoiding me ever since and It's driving me crazy. Sure, we still eat together, but I feel like he intentionally avoids talking to me or even touching me, which is the very opposite of how he was before the letter. Before the letter, he always looked like he was two seconds away from ripping my clothes, but now, I would be lucky to even get a glance from him… and it was maddening. What had changed? To make matters worse, I was always seeing him with Sophie— that brat who tried to challenge me on the first day. I always saw her going into his room at night or walking out of it in the morning. I already knew what they were doing, but that little brat made it a point of rubbing it in my face every time I saw her. Unfortunately for me, I was the only one experiencing this. Marie and Greyson were all over eachother every second of the day. Sometimes I worr

  • A Luna of fire   Fucking Breathtaking

    Avery’s POV I fought hard to hide the deep blush that was spreading across my cheeks when I looked down at myself. A sheet was wrapped around me to preserve my decency, but underneath the sheet, I was only in my bra and panties. “Where are my clothes?" I asked, feeling more embarrassed by the second. "After I treated your wound, you got a fever and you were burning up so I had to change your clothes to help you cool down," he explained calmly and it was then that I noticed that my hand was wrapped in a bandage My cheeks bloomed bright red when I pictured him undressing me. Did he like what he saw? Did he even bother to look? He had probably seen more prettier girls than me. He gently kissed my head again as if he could hear my racing thoughts. “Don’t be shy sweetheart. You are fucking breathtaking.” He murmured in my hair and I buried my face in the crook of his neck. If he thought I was breathtaking, why hadn’t he made a move on me yet? Or was he waiting for me

  • A Luna of fire   King of the north’s POV

    Alpha Kane’s POV I could see Mona- my fated mate standing in front of me. She looked as beautiful as always, but she was standing dangerously close to the edge of a very high cliff. The sea below was crashing violently against the rocks, like it was eagerly waiting for her to take that last step and fall. The cold was seeping into my bones, but I couldn’t take my eyes off her. One more step and I would lose her forever. “Mona! What are you doing?!” I shouted in panic. She turned to face me and I saw tears streaming down her cheeks. “Get away from me! I hate you!” she suddenly screamed, her voice raw and full of pain. My heart clenched painfully at my words. Mona was the love of my life. I loved her ever since we were children. How could she hate me? “Mona, please don’t do this,” I begged, taking a step towards her. “No! Leave me the fuck alone, Kane! I hate you!” she cried and shifted even closer to the edge. She was going to jump. Pain pierced my heart,

  • A Luna of fire   The battle for Avery

    Avery POV I couldn't believe what just happened. It felt like I was watching a dramatic opera where two powerful men were fighting for the heroine, except this was actually real life, and I was the heroine. I was truly shocked that Kane had even agreed to Dorian's terms considering the fact that he was so possessive of me. But to be fair, Kane looked like he was seconds away from tearing Dorian’s throat so he was clearly not happy with the situation. But the most important thing now was that I also wasn’t happy about the situation either. If I had any say in it, then this stupid competition wouldn’t be happening in the first place. I am not a toy that two boys can fight to own. I’m a woman with a mind and choice of her own. And if Dorian even bothered to ask me what i wanted, then he would know that i wanted to stay in the north. But Kane already made it clear to me that the law was the law and could not be revoked. Dorian had officially challenged him, so they m

  • A Luna of fire   Kisses and pledges

    Avery’s POV The intensity and emotion in James’s words hit me with a force that I didn’t expect. Tears streamed down my face, blurring the ink on the paper. He was really sorry for the past, and I knew that he was truly being sincere. But wasn’t it a little too late for us now? As much as his apology moved me, I realized I couldn’t see a future with James anymore. His future belonged with my sister and their children and I didn’t want to get in the way of that any longer. It was now also clear to me that James wouldn’t let me go without my permission. He was still holding on to the broken promises we shared. He was hoping for a reconciliation that I could no longer give him. I had to let him go and make him know that it is fine to let go of the past. I grabbed a piece of paper, and wrote my reply, but Just as I was about to finish, the door creaked open, and Kane walked in. Remembering that communication with the outside was forbidden, I quickly hid the letter b

    Avery’s POV Kane turned me to face him. “Stay here, Avery and you’ll be safe. I won’t take long just wait for me.” He said, getting ready to chase down the intruders. “What?! No!” I yelled. “I want to come with you. I can help you fight them. I may not be able to shift, but trust me, I can still fight.” I argued. “I know you can sweetheart,” Kane said, his voice softening for a moment. “But I need you to be safe. If anything happened to you, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself. Just be my good girl and wait here, please or I might have to punish you.” He begged. I clenched my fists, fighting the urge to argue further. I knew that he was just worried for me, but that didn’t make it any easier to accept. Eventually, I was able to manage a reluctant nod. “Fine, I’ll wait.” But before he left, I grabbed his face and kissed him, hard. “Promise me you’ll come back safely.” Kane cupped my cheek, his thumb brushing my skin. “I promise, my Nuri. I’ll come back to you safel

  • A Luna of fire   From Dorian to Hailey

    Avery’s POV Hot tears began to stream down my face as Zander and Greyson rushed Kane back to the palace where doctors and nurses were already waiting to treat him. I wanted to hold Kane’s hand through out the procedure, but the doctors forced me to wait outside while they saved his life. I felt the painful pressure of guilt on my chest. This was my fault. The men had come to my window, they had come for me. Kane would not have been hurt if it weren’t for me. The thought twisted my gut, and I wanted to punch a wall. Most preferably, I would have loved to punch the faces of those intruders that had dared to hurt Kane. Who were they anyway? I remembered that their scent was familiar.. like someone from my former pack, but I wasn’t able to place it so I could be wrong. The crazy thing was that, if the person were from spring pack, I would have been able to mind link them and found their identity a few hours ago. But that was impossible now because I had cut ties with t

Avery’s POV “What happens if they do?” I asked, but my voice was barely above a whisper. Kane hesitated for a moment before answering, “Dethronement.” And in that moment, I could see that his eyes were filled with a look of utter dread and resignation. The word hung in the air between us, heavy and ominous. If he was found guilty, Kane would lose everything—his title, his people, his entire life. My chest tightened with fear at the thought. I couldn’t let that happen to him “No,” I said firmly, shaking my head. “That’s not going to happen. We’ll fight this, Kane and we'll win.

  • A Luna of fire   Frame up

    Avery’s POV He stepped back to admire his handiwork, his eyes raking over me with a predatory hunger that made my breath hitch. I pulled experimentally at the restraints, but they held firm. I was at his mercy now, and the realization sent a wave of heat straight to my core. “Comfortable?” he asked, his tone mocking as he moved back toward the bed. I gave him a defiant look. “You’re enjoying this too much.” “And you’re enjoying pretending you’re not,” he shot back, climbing onto the bed and positioning himself above me. His hands roamed over my body, lingering on the places he knew drove me crazy, teasing me with just the right amount of pressure to make me squirm. “Maybe I am,” I admitted, my voice breathy as I felt his hands slide lower. “But that doesn’t mean I’m going to make it easy for you.” Kane’s eyes darkened with desire as he leaned in closer, his lips brushing against mine. “Oh, I don’t want easy. I want to see you break my Nuri.” His words sent a delici

  • A Luna of fire   An attack

    Avery’s POV I woke up to Kane’s soft kisses brushing over my skin, gentle and warm, sending shivers down my spine. His lips moved slowly, from my shoulder to my neck, trailing up to my jawline, each kiss making my heart race. A smile crept onto my face before I even opened my eyes, the sensation filling me with a giddy excitement, like we had just discovered our love for the first time.“Kane…” I murmured sleepily, turning to face him. The sight of him, his dark eyes filled with warmth and affection, made me catch my breath. My twin flame. The other half of my soul. It was still hard to believe that the goddess had united us in this way, that our bond went so much deeper than I had ever imagined.“Morning, love,” he whispered, his voice low and husky. “I couldn’t help myself. You were just too tempting.”I laughed softly, brushing my fingers through his hair. “You’re the tempting one.”His gaze grew more intense, and for a moment, I was lost in it, in him. I could feel the connectio

  • A Luna of fire   Twin flames

    Kane’s POVAs I stood in the grand hall, watching Avery make her entrance, I couldn’t help but feel immense pride. She was breathtaking, draped in an elegant gown that shimmered under the lights. Her presence commanded the attention of everyone in the room, and I knew that choosing her as my queen was the best decision I’d ever made.When I announced our engagement, the pride I felt was overwhelming. Most of the pack had reacted with awe and admiration for her. Though I noticed a few disapproving glances, they were drowned out by the applause and the stream of congratulations. My chest swelled with satisfaction. Avery wasn’t just my choice; she was proving herself to be the people’s choice as well.And why wouldn’t they see her value? She was intelligent, compassionate, and stronger than most could imagine. She’d already done so much for the northern lands. From the moment she stepped up to help with the blight, the people saw her not just as their future Luna but as a beacon of ho

  • A Luna of fire   In Dorian’s mind

    Dorian’s POV I rolled my eyes as I glanced out the window. Outside, a group of women were gathered in the garden, chattering away, fluttering around my estate as if they were the mistresses of the house. They were dressed in their finest, giggling and casting glances toward my home, hoping I'd notice them. I didn’t.I ignored their attempts to get my attention because they were nothing more than pawns. The only reason I kept them around was because their families were powerful. Greedy nobles, all of them, hungry for status and favor. If I let them believe that, when I became king, I might marry one of their daughters, then they’d remain loyal. And I needed their loyalty, even if it was built on lies.But that wasn’t going to happen. Marriage? To one of them? No. I only wanted one woman. The woman who had consumed my every thought, every breath, since the day I laid eyes on her.Avery.She was the reason I was willing to start this war. Yes, there were other reasons. Things I h

    Avery’s POV Katherine smiled knowingly. “Don’t you know yet? You’re pregnant.” She revealed.Brianne gasped and her hand flew to her mouth. “What? How do you know?”Yea I thought, because I and Marie were itching to know too.Katherine chuckled softly. “As a Luna, I have helped dozens of women give birth, dear. I know the signs. I’m surprised you haven’t noticed it yourself.”Brianne looked at us, panic and disbelief in her eyes. “I… I need to take a test. I need to be sure.” I nodded immediately “Let’s do it now,” Marie suggested, her voice calm but excited. “We’ll all wait with you.”We followed Brianne to her room, where she shakily took the test. The minutes seemed to drag on forever as we waited. Finally, Marie checked the result and broke into a huge grin.“Brianne… you’re pregnant!”The room erupted in laughter, tears, and congratulations. Brianne burst into tears, she clearly felt both joy and fear in that moment.“I always wanted children,” she sobbed. “But Ron… h

  • A Luna of fire   Katherine’s past

    . Avery’s POV “What…what happened?” Brianne’s voice trembled with shock, and I could only shake my head. I didn’t have an answer. But one thing was clear—I had done that. Somehow, I had cured that small patch of land from the Blight, just like Kane always said i would. “We need to get back to Kane,” I said, my voice steadier than I felt. “He needs to know about this.” The ride back to the castle was a blur. My mind raced with possibilities. If I could heal the land, if my power could dispel the blight, then maybe…maybe we really actually have a chance. Maybe this wasn’t the end. When we arrived, I rushed to Kane’s office, my heart pounding in my chest. Lucian was with him, and as soon as I explained what had happened, they both looked at me with a mixture of shock and hope. “Holy shit! You’re truly ARE the cure,” Lucian said, his voice filled with awe. “You really are the key to stopping this.” He said it like he was only finally believing it after all this time, I cou

    Avery’s POV He sighed heavily, rubbing his temples before meeting my gaze. “It’s the annual Northern Harvest Festival. With the blight wreaking havoc, we’re facing a dire situation. The crops and animals are suffering. It’s going to be impossible to hold the festival this year. People are too hungry and exhausted to celebrate.”I nodded, recalling from the books his mother forced on me how crucial these festivals were. They weren’t just about celebration—they were a beacon of hope, a chance for the people to come together and see that their leaders cared. Without it, morale could sink, and faith in Kane’s leadership might wane.“I understand why you’re worried,” I said softly. “Festivals like this are more than just traditions. They’re vital for keeping the people’s spirits up. If we skip it, it might send the wrong message—that we’re not doing enough to help them.”Kane looked at me with gratitude for understanding where he was coming from. But then he became frustrated. “I know
