Destined to Rise: The Return of the True Luna Chapter 36
Ravenna's heels clicked against the pavement as she hurried to meet Soren at their usual spot, a discreet café tucked away in a quiet corner of the city. Her mind raced with the events of the past few days – the confrontation with Lilith, her calculated confession to Rylan. Everything was falling into place, but she couldn't shake the feeling that she was walking a razor's edge.As she entered the café, she spotted Soren immediately, his tall frame unmistakable even in the dimly lit space. He looked up as she approached, his face an unreadable mask."Ravenna," he greeted her, gesturing to the seat across from him. "Right on time, as always."She slid into the chair, eyeing him warily. "Well, when you say you have important information, I tend to take it seriously."Soren nodded, pushing a steaming cup of coffee towards her – black, no sugar, just how she liked it. The gesture, small as it was, reminded Ravenna of how well he'd come to know her over these past months."So," she said, t

Ravenna stifled a yawn as she left the office, the weight of the day's meetings and strategic planning settling heavily on her shoulders. The sun was already setting, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. As she walked to her car, she remembered her nearly empty fridge and decided to make a quick stop at the supermarket.The fluorescent lights of the store were a stark contrast to the fading daylight outside. Ravenna grabbed a basket and began wandering the aisles, her mind still partially occupied with thoughts of Rylan, Soren, and the intricate web she was weaving.As she turned into the produce section, her attention elsewhere, she collided with someone. Apples tumbled to the floor, rolling in every direction."Watch where you're going!" a sharp voice snapped.Ravenna looked up, an apology on her lips, but it died as she recognized the young woman before her. With striking red hair and piercing green eyes, there was no mistaking Quinn, one of Lilith's twin sisters.Quickly c

Ravenna pushed open the front door of her family home, the familiar scent of her mother's cooking enveloping her immediately. She followed the aroma to the kitchen, where she found her mother, Mara, bustling about in a frenzy of culinary activity."Mom?" Ravenna called out, eyeing the array of dishes spread across the countertops. "What's going on? Are we feeding an army?"Mara turned, her face flushed from the heat of the kitchen. "Oh, Ravenna! Perfect timing. We're having guests for dinner tonight."Ravenna raised an eyebrow. "Guests? Who?""The Blackthorn family," her mother replied, turning back to stir a simmering pot. "Soren Blackthorn and his parents and sister."Ravenna felt as if the ground had suddenly shifted beneath her feet. "Soren Blackthorn? As in... my business associate, Soren Blackthorn?""The very same," her father's voice came from behind her. Ravenna turned to see him entering the kitchen, a warm smile on his face. "I recently played golf with his father, Cedric.

Ravenna and Soren made their way back inside, the tension between them palpable. As they entered the living room, Astrid's eyes lit up."Ravenna! Come sit by me," Astrid called, patting the spot next to her on the sofa. "I want to hear all about your business ventures."Grateful for the distraction, Ravenna settled next to Astrid. "Well, what would you like to know?"As the two women chatted, their conversation flowed easily from business to fashion to travel. Ravenna found herself genuinely enjoying Astrid's company, her wit and intelligence a refreshing change from the usual socialite crowd."You know," Astrid said, lowering her voice conspiratorially, "I haven't seen Soren this engaged with someone in years. You must be pretty special."Ravenna felt a blush creeping up her cheeks. "Oh, I don't know about that. We're just business partners."Astrid raised an eyebrow. "Mhmm. Sure you are."Across the room, Mara and Lyra were deep in conversation, their eyes occasionally darting to Ra
Destined to Rise: The Return of the True Luna Chapter 1
Naida scrubbed at the kitchen floorboard, her face screwed up in concentration as the sounds of laughter echoed through the house. Five years had passed since she married Rylan. Nothing had changed. Their home still felt cold and uncomfortable. The house they shared, Lupine Falls, was practically a mansion. Huge, expansive, and lavish. The task felt like some kind of tedious chore instead of a labor of love. The roughness of the floorboards pressed into her reddened hands with every scrub. Her wedding ring weighed heavy on her finger, a reminder of the choices she had made… or perhaps those made for her.Then the door creaked open, revealing Lilith, Rylan's mistress. Lilith's beauty remained undiminished since the day she entered their lives. The cascading red curls framed her features while her eyes radiated an ethereal glow. Standing at five feet eight inches, her slender form was accentuated with her clinging dress. Stark contrast between her skin tone and crimson lips gave her an

"Rylan, please, I..." Naida began, but he cut her off with a slap across the face. She was flung back against the wall by its violence. Tears were running down her face as she held her hurting cheek. "You're so pathetic," he spat out. "You have no value. Naida felt tears spring up in her eyes. "Why do you treat me in this way? I'm your mate, your Luna. Don't I mean anything to you anymore?"Naida was thrown onto the bed by Rylan, who used his weight to pin her arms over her head. His expression filled with hatred and disgust, he towered over her. "You're right," with a growl. Naida felt the sharp words pierce her like a knife. She had made many attempts to satisfy his desires and be both Luna and his perfect mate. However, it seemed that her efforts were always useless.She reached her breaking point. Pushing by Rylan, she hurried in the direction of the door. He grabbed her arm violently and growled, "Where do you think you're going?""Let me go!" Naida cried, but Rylan only tighte

They all headed for the dining table, to take their seats in absolute silence. Lilith set eyes on the plates with distaste, her disgust evident on her face, not even bothering to hide it. "Really, Naida? This is what you call cooking?" she asked sarcastically, her voice dripping with malice. "I could have made something better myself."Calista and Quinn giggled, looking at each other. Asher sent them a glance, but they ignored it. "Don't listen to them, Naida. It looks and smells delicious." Asher tried to reassure her, though it was apparent that he didn't have much conviction in his voice. "Of course, he would defend our precious Luna," Quinn said, rolling her eyes. Naida felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment, and her eyes prick as unshed tears burned at the back of her eyes. But she was used to their taunts by now, as painful as they were. "She really can't do anything right," Calista whispered to her twin sister, her gaze resting on Naida for a moment. "Even her cooking is

Lilith's response was sarcastic. "Oh, darling, I'm afraid I can't do that." She sipped her wine again, enjoying the depressed expression on Naida's face. "You see, Ryan and I have an arrangement." He requires...diversions. And I give him those too."She gave her glass a soft tap. "Besidеs, you're not еxactly...еntеrtaining.""Ryan, my husband, is my mate. You have no right to him. He belongs with me, not with you, and this pack has me as the Luna. Therefore, I beg you to put an end to this...this affair." Tears filled her eyes as she spoke, her voice breaking.Lilith gave Naida a long, hard look before smiling and shaking her head. The sound was mocking and cold. "Oh my goodness, this is fantastic!" she exclaimed, wiping a fake tear off her face. "Thе littlе Luna bitch actually thinks shе has a say in anything!""I...I'm just asking you to stop... Rylan is my husband..." Naida's voicе trailеd off as shе strugglеd to kееp hеr composurе. "I don't undеrstand why you'd want someone's mate.
