Blood Moon: Vengeance of the Reborn Luna 33. The Circle of Deceit
Liam strides into the dining hall as we’re halfway through breakfast. The children are chattering noisily—Lily giggling at Zane’s attempt to stack eggs on his fork, Eli narrating some grand adventure he apparently dreamed about last night. The warm, mundane chaos of family fills the room.Damon looks up at Liam’s entrance. Liam bows respectfully to us, then leans down to whisper something in Damon’s ear. Whatever he says makes Damon stiffen, his jaw tightening. Surprise flickers across his face, quickly followed by determination, then anger.“I’ll be back,” Damon says abruptly, pushing back his chair. He strides out of the room with Liam before I can ask what’s wrong.I watch him leave, unease bubbling in my chest. My gaze lingers on the empty doorway, my mind racing with questions.“Mama,” Zane calls, drawing my attention back to the table. “Look!”He’s balancing an apple on his head, grinning like he’s performed a grand trick. Lily claps, her curls bouncing. “You look like a silly A

The weight of their stares burns my skin, but I keep my head high, my eyes cold as steel. The murmurs grow louder, like a swarm of bees buzzing around me, but I don’t let it faze me. “Claire,” I say softly, my voice cutting through the noise like a blade. “We all have our stories, don’t we? And some are better left untold.” Her smile falters for the briefest second before she masks it again. The she-wolves shift in their seats, exchanging uncertain glances. I sit straighter, a quiet fire igniting in my chest. If Claire wants a war, she’ll get one. But it’ll be on my terms. Claire clears her throat, forcing an awkward laugh. “Nora, I didn’t mean to insult your pride or anything. I was just stating—” I cut her off before she can finish. “Claire,” I say, my tone as sharp as a dagger, “what do you think about the evidence of your mate stealing pack resources, receiving bribes, and committing other criminal acts?” The room goes silent. Every gaze swings to Claire, their curiosity

My heart keeps pounding as I walk back quickly to Damon's room, push the door open and close it behind me. My hands tremble as I sit on the edge of the bed, my mind spinning. The ledger is gone. Missing.The thought keeps hammering in my head like a drumbeat I can’t silence. How long has it been missing? Who took it? Could it be Cain? My chest tightens at the impossibility, the edges of my vision blurring with panic. I press my fingers against my temples, trying to rub away the throbbing ache building behind my eyes. These headaches are relentless, creeping up on me more often than ever. I sigh, frustrated, and glance around Damon’s room. It feels suffocating, the walls closing in on me, as if the missing ledger holds my very sanity hostage.My throat feels parched, but I don’t move to get water. Instead, I replay every moment in my mind. Someone knows. Someone knows I’ve been watching Cain.But who?It’s not Damon. If he found the ledger, he would’ve confronted me, his stormy eyes d
Last Updated : 2024-12-29Blood Moon: Vengeance of the Reborn Luna 1. THE FALL OF LIRA
The goddess’s light shines brightest when shadows grow darkest. In death, I find her whisper, and in her whisper, the promise of vengeance.*********I sit alone in the cold, hollow silence of the Beta quarters, my hands cradling the gentle swell of my belly. Three years. That’s how long I’ve tried to win Cain’s heart. Tried to make him see me as more than an obligation, more than the mate the goddess destined for him. Three years of love poured into a man who looks at me like I’m dirt under his boots.The fire crackles softly in the hearth, a weak attempt to warm the void he left when he stormed out earlier. He didn’t even look at me before he slammed the door. Not a word. Not a touch. Not even the acknowledgment that our child, his child, grows inside me.My chest tightens as tears sting my eyes. You have to stay strong for the pup, Lira. My wolf, Red, whispers the mantra she says to me daily.But strength feels like a cruel joke when the father of my pup treats me like a ghost.Th

The faint sensation of warmth pulls me from the depths of unconsciousness. Tiny hands press against my body, soft and persistent.“Mama, wake up already!”The voices are small but urgent, their sweet tones wrapping around my mind like a cocoon. A wave of tenderness I can’t explain washes over me. My head throbs, and I groan softly.“Mama!” Another nudge. “Please wake up!”The warmth spreads, followed by a deep voice cutting through the haze of my mind. It’s commanding, yet surprisingly gentle.“Nora?”The voice carries an ache, laced with concern and something that feels… foreign. Love? My breath catches, and I force my eyes to flutter open.The world comes into focus slowly, shapes and colors blending until I see them.Three small faces hover over me, wide-eyed and filled with worry. Two boys and one girl. They don’t look older than five.I blink hard, trying to process their presence. Around them stand others—a woman with silver-streaked hair and regal features, her face etched with

They say betrayal cuts deeper than any blade, but what happens when the betrayer has no idea their victim still walks the earth? I face him now, the man who ruined me, wearing the face of the woman I’ve become.*********The palace is quiet, save for the occasional giggle of the pups playing in the distant corridors. I sit in the grand hall, trying to acclimate to the life of Nora Moonblood. The weight of her responsibilities presses on me like a suffocating cloak.It’s been a week since I awakened, but the reality of my situation feels no less surreal. I’m not just a mate anymore. I’m Luna—mother to three pups and bonded to the most powerful Alpha of the Moonblood pack.Damon watches me constantly, his concern evident in every glance, every word. He doesn’t push, but I can feel his questions simmering just beneath the surface. For now, I’ve managed to deflect them.Today, though, the peace of my new life shatters.“Luna, Beta Cain and Claire request an audience,” a servant announces,

Motherhood, leadership, and revenge—three roles I never imagined juggling. Each demands something I’m not sure I have, but I can’t afford to fail. Not again.---The sound of stifled giggles and hurried footsteps echoes through the grand hallway, pulling me from my thoughts. I glance toward the noise, already guessing who’s behind it.A loud crash follows, and my suspicion is confirmed.“Zane, don’t push her!” one voice scolds.“I didn’t! She tripped!” comes the defensive reply.“Did not!” shrieks a smaller, more indignant voice.I stride toward the commotion and find the triplets in the middle of what looks like a battlefield. A shattered vase lies in pieces on the floor, water pooling around the shards.The boys — Zane and Eli — stand on either side of their sister, Lily, who’s sitting on the ground, her silver curls bouncing as she glares at her brothers.“What’s going on here?” I ask, folding my arms.Three guilty faces turn toward me.“It was Zane!” Eli blurts out.“Was not!” Zan

ALPHA DAMON’S POVLove demands trust, but trust becomes a gamble when secrets linger between us. How long before the divide grows too wide to cross?*********The sound of the children’s laughter carries through the garden, drawing a rare smile to my lips. I watch from the terrace as Eli and Zane race across the grass, their sister Lily trailing behind, shouting at them to wait for her.“Not fair!” Lily cries, huffing with indignation. “You have longer legs!”“Then run faster!” Zane taunts, only to trip over a loose stone and tumble to the ground.Eli doubles over with laughter, but Lily takes the opportunity to pounce on him, sending both of them sprawling. Their nanny rushes over, fussing and checking for scrapes, but the pups brush her off, too caught up in their game to care.My heart swells as I watch them. My pups. My legacy. They are my joy and my pride, and no matter what storms I face, they remind me of what truly matters.“Papa!” Lily’s voice rings out as she spots me. She b

The commotion in the market draws my attention. I turn toward the noise and freeze. A long line of slaves trudges past, their wrists chained, their bodies bent under the weight of exhaustion. Their faces are gaunt, hollow, and streaked with dirt, their clothes tattered beyond recognition. The merchants leading them bark orders, whips in hand, striking those who stumble.I catch my breath when one of the slaves collapses—a girl, too young, her frail body crumpling to the muddy ground. A whip cracks through the air, slashing across her back, tearing through her tattered clothes. The girl doesn’t even cry out; she’s too weak to make a sound.“Stand!” the man with the whip bellows, his face contorted in fury. When she doesn’t move, he raises the whip again.“Stop it!” The words escape my lips before I think. The man freezes mid-swing, his beady eyes snapping toward me.The other merchants and their miserable captives halt. Even the bustle of the market seems to fade as people turn to watc
Blood Moon: Vengeance of the Reborn Luna Chapter 31: Through the Tempest
The rain pours down in icy sheets, drenching me to the bone. My fists slam into the wooden dummy again and again, the rhythm of my punches syncing with the storm. Each strike burns, my knuckles raw and splitting, but I don’t stop. I can’t. The cold rain numbs my fingers, yet the fire inside me rages hotter.I think of Damon—his smirk, his warmth, his maddening calmness. Why does he have this hold on me? Then Cain and Claire flash in my mind. They robbed me of everything. My life as Lira, my family, my future. And here I am, reborn as Nora Moonblood, trapped in a new life I didn’t choose, pretending to be someone I’m not.I land another punch, and the dummy creaks. The pain in my knuckles barely registers. Each hit feels like an attempt to shatter my doubts, my anger, my confusion. Who am I, really? Lira, the weak she-wolf who trusted too much? Or Nora, the strong Luna determined to rewrite her fate?The rain drowns out my ragged breaths, muting the storm in my chest—until strong arms
Blood Moon: Vengeance of the Reborn Luna 30. The Storms Within and Without
I push open Damon’s door, still lost in thought about Grand Luna Eve’s late-night escape. Where could she have gone last night? Why was she cloaked?The room is dimly lit, and the scent of fresh soap fills the air. My gaze lands on Damon.He stands by the window, shirtless, a towel slung low on his hips. His wet hair glistens under the flickering lantern light, sending rivulets of water down his chiseled chest. My eyes follow one drop as it travels from his sharp collarbone, over his taut abs, and disappears below the towel's edge.I gulp, heat spreading across my cheeks. His shoulders are broad, muscles flexing as he adjusts the window latch. Every inch of him screams strength, and I feel the tension in the air thickening as my eyes linger.“See something you like?” Damon’s voice is low, teasing, snapping me out of my trance.I look up to find his smirk—confident, knowing. My mouth opens, but no words come out.“You can’t see everything from over there,” he continues, his tone drippi
Blood Moon: Vengeance of the Reborn Luna 29. Board Games and Cloaked Secrets
The walk home is quiet, the weight of the council meeting still pressing on my mind. When we step into the house, the warmth of the hearth embraces us, but Damon’s piercing gaze brings me back to reality.“Nora,” he says, his voice soft but firm. “Are you okay?”I glance up at him, startled by the tenderness in his tone. His concern catches me off guard, but I nod. “I’m fine. Thank you for standing up for me earlier. Cain deserved everything he got.”Damon’s jaw tightens, and he folds his arms across his chest. “How did you know about Cain’s theft?”For a moment, I hesitate. The memory of the anonymous letter flashes in my mind. I could tell him, but something holds me back. I meet his eyes, steady and unwavering. “I got an anonymous tip.”Damon sighs and shakes his head, his dark brows furrowing. “Nora, I’m still waiting for you to see that you can trust me.”“All in good time,” I reply, offering him a faint smile.He doesn’t push further. Instead, he walks to his room, leaving me in
Blood Moon: Vengeance of the Reborn Luna 28. The First Move
I stare at the crumpled letter in my hand, my heartbeat pounding like a war drum. The words echo in my head, sharp and biting like the cold wind of a winter storm. My fingers tremble, but not with fear. No. This is something deeper—rage. With a sharp exhale, I tear the letter into tiny pieces, each rip satisfying a deep part of me.The scraps flutter to the ground like defeated enemies, but the fire inside me still burns.“Not now,” I whisper to myself, my voice low and steady. “Not now. But soon.”* * *When I enter the house, I catch Sigma Sean at the opposite door. He’s about to leave, his tall frame filling the doorway. I force a smile, masking the storm brewing inside me.“Sean,” I call out, drawing his attention. “How’s Natasha doing? She must be close now.”Sean’s face lights up like a boy with a jar of sweets. “She’s glowing, Luna! Glowing! The pup is strong—I can feel it already.” His pride is infectious, and his eagerness brings warmth to my heart.“I’m happy for you, Sean,”

I am six years old again, sitting in the warm embrace of my mama’s lap as she brushes my hair. Her touch is gentle, her humming soft and familiar. The scent of lavender from her favorite oil lingers in the air."Lira, be a good girl until we get back, okay?" Mama’s voice is as soothing as ever, but there’s an urgency in her tone today.I nod, my little heart swelling with the pride of her trust.Papa kneels before me, his rough hands cupping my cheeks as he plants a kiss on my forehead. "My Lira has always been a good girl."His words wrap around me like a warm blanket. I smile back at him, not knowing this moment will be the last of its kind.Then, suddenly, everything changes. They are gone.The room turns dark, the walls closing in on me. Shadows stretch and writhe, swallowing every trace of comfort. I clutch my chest as panic surges. "Mama? Papa?" My voice trembles, echoing back like a cruel taunt.The silence is deafening. And then, fire.Flames lick at the walls, their greedy to
