A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 8
Kailey’s POVThe darkness of the room had become my constant companion, pressing in on me from every side. It had been two weeks now—two weeks of isolation, two weeks of torment. I sat huddled in the corner, my body a shadow of what it once was. My arms were thin, frail. The skin clung to my bones, and I could see the sharp angles of my ribs whenever I glanced down. Hunger gnawed at my stomach, a relentless ache that never eased.Every day, the guards would bring a small portion of food—if it could even be called that. It looked like scraps, leftovers from someone else's meal. The taste was as awful as the sight of it, but I had no choice. I ate it, every bit, forcing it down just to survive.I had grown so weak that even the effort of chewing felt exhausting. My arms trembled whenever I moved, and my legs felt like they could give out at any moment. My reflection, if I had been able to see it, would have been unrecognizable.I shivered as the memory of a few days ago played in my mind,

Kailey’s POVA sudden splash of icy water shocked me awake. My body jerked violently, the freezing cold biting into my skin. My thin clothes clung to me, soaked and useless against the chill.“Wake up, slut!” a guard bellowed, his voice harsh and dripping with contempt.I gasped, blinking rapidly as I tried to process what was happening. The cold water dripped down my face, my hair plastered to my skin.“Get up!” he yelled again, kicking at the chains near my feet.“I—I’m awake,” I stuttered, struggling to push myself up. My body was stiff, my muscles weak from weeks of neglect.“Awake, are you?” He sneered. “Doesn’t look like it. You think this is some kind of luxury inn where you can sleep all day?”“No, I—” I started to say, but his sharp glare silenced me.“Shut up!” He barked, grabbing my arm roughly and yanking me to my feet. I stumbled, the chains around my wrists and ankles clanging loudly.“What did I do?” I whispered, my voice trembling.“You’re breathing, that’s what,” he snapped. “

Kailey’s POV"Order!" the sentinel’s voice boomed, I stood there trembling, my legs barely holding me up. The weight of the chains on my wrists and ankles was nothing compared to the crushing fear inside me. Every little movement made the chains clink softly, the sound echoing in the silence of the massive courtroom. I felt the cold bite of the metal digging into my skin, but that was nothing compared to the burning stares of the people around me.The dress I wore hung loose on my body. It was plain and worn, but it was the cleanest thing I had worn in days. It covered most of the bruises scattered across my arms and legs, but no dress could hide the fear radiating off me.Before me, sitting on a high platform, was Alpha Mark. His presence was like a storm cloud, heavy and dark. His cold, unyielding expression felt like it could slice through me, but it was his eyes that terrified me the most. They burned with a fury that made my blood run cold. If he could, I was sure he would leap fro

Kailey’s POVI sat on the cold stone floor of the cell, my knees pulled up to my chest. My chains rattled every time I moved. Tears streamed down my face as I thought about everything that had happened.The trial was delayed. That was something, at least. A small sliver of hope. Maybe, just maybe, there would be a miracle. Maybe I wouldn’t be executed.But as the moments dragged on, my mind spiraled. Memories flooded in—memories I had tried so hard to bury.Kyle.His face surfaced first, along with the sharp pain of betrayal. My ex. The one I had given everything to. The one who had looked me in the eyes and told me I was his world. And yet, he had turned around and marked someone else.“Kailey, you’re just an omega,” he had said that day, his voice cold and dismissive. “I can’t be tied to someone like you. I have to think about my future.”We had been together for years. Years of laughter, dreams, and promises. And in the end, none of it had mattered. He had chosen another. He had marked h

Ezekiel’s POVThe car pulled up to the front of the pack house just as the evening sun dipped low on the horizon. My hands gripped the armrest as I leaned forward, eager for the ride to end. The moment the car came to a stop, I swung the door open before the chauffeur could even reach it.“Sir, how was your journey?” the chauffeur asked, tipping his hat as he stood aside.“Fine,” I replied curtly, not bothering to look at him. My mind was already elsewhere—on Kailey.I hadn’t seen her in days. My father had sent me to handle a dispute in the neighboring pack, claiming it was urgent. But I knew the truth. He’d done it on purpose, sending me far away so I couldn’t intervene. Kailey had been imprisoned, accused of things I knew she hadn’t done, and he’d used every opportunity to keep me out of the picture.I didn’t care about the disputes I’d resolved, the alliances I’d had to navigate, or the endless, meaningless formalities. All I wanted was to see her.As I stepped out of the car, I saw hi

Kailey’s POVThe room felt colder than usual, though I was sure it wasn’t just the temperature. The chains on my wrists and ankles had long since become unbearable, but the sight of Ezekiel walking into the courtroom made me feel lighter, just for a moment.But that moment faded quickly. I watched his face, searching for something—reassurance, determination, anything that told me he was here to save me. Instead, I saw hesitation, conflict.I couldn’t breathe.He stood there, tall and imposing, his presence commanding the attention of everyone in the room. The sentinel announced him, and the crowd whispered, their voices a mix of awe and curiosity.But I didn’t care about any of them. My eyes were locked on him, and his on me.For a fleeting second, I thought I saw pain in his eyes, the Ezekiel I knew breaking through the stoic mask he wore. But then he turned away, his gaze hardening as he addressed the elders.“Do you, as the future Alpha of this pack, think Kailey is guilty of the crimes

Kailey’s POVThe words rang in my ears like a death knell.“Kailey is hereby declared guilty of seducing the future Alpha, Ezekiel. For this crime, she is banished from the pack and sentenced to be killed upon sight should she return.”I froze, unable to comprehend the gravity of the Elder’s decree. The silence that followed was deafening, broken only by the sound of my shallow breathing.I turned my eyes toward Ezekiel, desperate for some sign that he would speak up, that he would fight for me. His face was a mask of shock, his lips slightly parted as if he couldn’t believe what he’d just heard. But he didn’t move. He didn’t say a word.“Ezekiel,” I croaked, my voice trembling. “Please, tell them the truth. Tell them this isn’t true.”He met my eyes briefly, and I saw the conflict there—the battle he was fighting within himself. But instead of stepping forward, instead of saying anything, he lowered his gaze, his silence cutting deeper than any blade ever could.The Elder continued as if I

Kailey’s POV“Someone… Someone tried to kill me,” I gasped, clutching my injured arm. My vision blurred, and I felt myself swaying. “They were here. They had a knife.”The other guard knelt beside me, his expression grim. “We were sent to get you out of here.”“You’re getting me out?” I asked, my voice shaky and laced with suspicion. My arm throbbed, blood still oozing from the gash left by the assassin. “Why now? Who sent you?”The taller of the two guards glanced over his shoulder at the open door. His face was hidden by the shadow of his helmet, but his tone was urgent. “Someone wants you dead. If we don’t move, they’ll try again. Do you want to live here or stay here and die?”“I want to live,” I replied, though doubt clouded my thoughts. “But how do I know you’re not just taking me somewhere else to finish the job?”The shorter guard exhaled sharply, clearly running out of patience. “We don’t have time for your paranoia. If we wanted you dead, you wouldn’t have survived this long.”I h

Kailey’s POV"Alpha Ezekiel, I'm so happy for you. Finally, you have a son who will continue your legacy."Alpha Darius raised his glass, and I met his cheers with my own. The clink of our glasses echoed through the great hall, filled with the voices of powerful Alphas gathered for Auren’s coronation."Yeah, that was perfect," I said with a nod.Darius chuckled, leaning in slightly. "I just hope your new heir will continue the good relationship we’ve all kept through the years. You know how these young ones can be. Always eager to prove themselves."I smirked, taking a sip of my drink. "Sure, why not? He will. I trust him. He will be perfect. Though he's still very young, I know he will do his best."More Alphas began to approach, one after the other, congratulating me as they lifted their glasses. The air was filled with laughter and hushed conversations, everyone exchanging pleasantries and well wishes."Ezekiel, my friend," Alpha Tobias called as he clapped me on the back. "Tonight

Kailey’s POVToday, a lot of Alphas were going to be around. The full coronation of my son, Auren, was today, and I was so happy. I was fully ready and dressed up. Elyra helped me with my dress even as she was telling me that there shouldn’t be any fight between me and Cecilia today.“I didn’t promise anything,” I muttered, adjusting my necklace.Elyra gave me a side-eye. “Kailey…”I smirked. “Yeah, yeah. As long as Cecilia don’t step on my toes, I’m gonna be good.”Elyra folded her arms. “You’re always the one finding trouble.”I turned to her, raising an eyebrow. “Me? Finding trouble? Elyra, be for real.”She sighed. “You don’t even see it, do you?”“I see plenty.” I smirked, checking my reflection. “I see that I look damn good. I see that my son is about to be crowned. And I see that if Cecilia breathes wrong today, I just might—”Elyra groaned, cutting me off. “Kailey! This is Auren’s day. Can you, for once, not start a war?”I chuckled. “I’m not starting anything.”She gave me a

Kailey’s POVWhy isn’t this soup spicy?” I said even as I tasted the soup the maids were preparing for dinner.“My Queen… it’s—”“Your what?!” I cut her short, my voice sharp. “Don’t call me that. Call me the Luna.”“But—”“Are you trying to question me?” I shot back at the maid.“Sorry, Luna,” she said quickly, lowering her head.“Better. Now make sure this soup is spicy and not this trash you are cooking,” I snapped, turning to walk out of the kitchen. But as I reached the doorway, I paused.Cecilia was standing there, her arms folded, watching me with amusement. And then, she laughed.I narrowed my eyes. “What’s so funny?”Cecilia smirked. “What makes you think you are the Luna?”I tilted my head, my lips curling into a smile. “Oh, don’t worry about that. In no time, I will personally kick you out.”She arched an eyebrow. “Oh? And how exactly do you plan to do that?”I stepped closer, my voice low and firm. “All I need to do is prove you were the one behind my son’s murder.”Cecili

Kailey’s POV"Nothing," I said easily, flashing another smile."Bullshit," Auren grumbled.Ezekiel leaned forward, resting his arms on the table. "Kailey, I know you. You were ready to tear this whole plan apart five seconds ago. Now you’re just… agreeing? That’s not how you work."I shrugged, tilting my head. "Maybe I had a change of heart."Auren laughed. "You don’t have a heart.""That’s rude." I smirked."That’s the truth," Ezekiel replied, his eyes still locked on me. He was studying me, trying to read me like a book with torn pages.I kept my face smooth. If they even got a hint of what I was thinking, it would ruin everything."Look," I sighed loudly, tapping my nails against the table. "We all want the same thing, don’t we? This curse broken. That’s why we’re even having this damn talk.""Yeah," Ezekiel said slowly, still wary."And this is the only way?" I asked, trying to sound hesitant."You know it is," Auren said."Then I’m in," I said with certainty.Silence. Thick. Heav

Kailey’s POVHow fucking annoying it is to actually wake up to a text from Ezekiel.Meet me at the eating by 9 a.m. with Auren. Don’t be late! Who the hell does this fool think he’s talking to? I slid my phone onto the table and lay back down. I didn’t even know when I dozed off yesterday. I was so tired and scared that I just crashed, and now I wake up to this buzzing sound? So crazy. “Another crazy morning in this hell of a pack,” I mumbled, looking at the ceiling. I reached for my phone again to check the time. It was almost 8:30 a.m. I groaned, wondering whether I should even bother going to the diner. My wolf stirred, growling lowly, her way of nudging me to get moving. You should go. “Why? So he can piss me off even more?” I asked aloud. You know why. You care. I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, deep down, I still love Ezekiel so much. But what he did in the past? It’s always fresh in my mind. Every damn time I see him, I feel that pain. And it pisses me off so bad. Sometimes, I fe

Ezekiel’s POVJames’s eyes widened slightly, but he didn’t reply. “Alpha,” he said slowly. “I… I think you need to address this head-on. Call a meeting. Confront Remus and the others. Show them you’re still in control.”I scoffed. “Oh, that’ll go well,” I said lightly. “What am I supposed to say? That my house is in shambles but they should still believe me? That my son publicly insulted me, and my Luna and ex-Luna are locked in a power struggle, but I’ve got everything under control?” “You don’t have to say all that,” he answered, his tone calm. “But you do need to remind them of who you are. Of what you’ve done for this pack and the Alliance. They’ve forgotten, Ezekiel. And if you let this continue, they’ll change the story entirely.” I rubbed a hand over my face, tiredness sinking deep in my bones. He’s right, you know, my wolf said, his tone softer this time. You’ve been so focused on keeping the peace that you’ve forgotten how to lead. Maybe it’s time to tell them. And yourse
A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 83
Ezekiel’s POVAs it stood right now, I was really losing it. Like, I was way too tired of everything. The feast Cecilia told me to plan? A fucking mess. Like, what the fuck? How can a fourteen-year-old boy talk back to me and Cecilia like that? Like, what the fuck?It shocked me to the highest level.You fucking caused all this for yourself.I could hear my wolf’s voice in my head, sharp and cutting, like he was enjoying my misery.“How did I?” I muttered under my breath, dragging my hands through my hair as I paced the room.You let Kailey down years ago, and you think nemesis won’t catch up with you?“You must be joking,” I growled back at him, my anger boiling over. “I have paid for my mistakes. Why the fuck is all this still happening to me?”Paid? Oh, please. You’ve barely scratched the top of what you owe, Ezekiel. And if you’re not careful, Auren is going to become something you’ll regret.“Fuck!” I snapped, striking my hand into the wall. My chest heaved as I tried to calm my
A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 82
Kailey’s POV“She’s not my Luna anymore!” he roared, his voice cracking with frustration. “I told you that already. I—”“Oh, really?” I interrupted, stepping closer to him. “Because it sure as hell sounded like you were defending her just now. ‘My Luna this, my Luna that.’ Which is it, Ezekiel? Is she your Luna or not?”He opened his mouth to respond but closed it again, his jaw tightening as he struggled to find the words. I shook my head, laughing bitterly.“That’s what I thought,” I said, my voice cold. “You can’t even make up your mind. And you want to come in here and yell at my son for speaking his truth? For standing up to that conniving bitch?”“Don’t call her that,” he growled, his voice low and dangerous.“Why not?” I challenged, crossing my arms. “That’s exactly what she is. And you know it. You just don’t want to admit it because it’s easier to keep pretending everything is fine. Well, guess what, Ezekiel? It’s not fine. It’s never been fine. And your precious Cecilia? She
A Luna's Return:Her Return Will Lift The Curse CHAPTER 81
Kailey’s POVI wanted to go and check on Ezekiel, but I didn’t dare. I knew right now he was really angry, so ignoring him felt like the best thing to do. Auren was in his room, and I told myself I’d go meet him instead. I guessed he was just frustrated—I know how much all this must weigh on him. As I walked down the hallway, I caught sight of Cecilia coming out of one of the rooms. She looked like she’d eaten something sour, her face all twisted and angry. Seeing her like that made a smile creep onto my face. I was so happy about what happened earlier that I couldn’t help myself. Cecilia turned, her sharp look locking onto mine. She noticed the grin on my face and stopped in her tracks, her eyes sharpening. “What’s funny?” she snapped, her voice cold and sharp. I crossed my arms, leaning slightly against the wall as I tilted my head at her. “What isn’t funny?” I said with a laugh. “You, Cecilia. You are the joke of the night. A self-acclaimed Luna, made to look stupid by a fourte
