Rae

After the whole drunken incident, I refused to let Malcolm take me anywhere. Instead, we spent most of our time in the palace. Von, on the other hand, seemed distracted—his brooding nature more intense than usual.

He had disappeared for a day, only to return and bury himself in work, barely acknowledging my presence. Not that I wanted him to be close to me after he referred to me as a whore.

What made things even stranger was Jace. He was always nearby, hovering like a shadow, asking where I was going, what I was doing—like some overprotective bodyguard.

“You don’t need to follow me around, Jace!” I snapped at him one evening when I caught him watching me from across the hall.

He barely flinched. “I’m just doing my guard duties.”

I narrowed my eyes. Something about the way he said it felt off, rehearsed. “Did Von put you up to this?”

“No,” he said quickly, a little too quickly.

I could smell the lie. But I wasn’t in the mood to push it. “I’d really appreciate it if you

    Rae“Von!” I called out, my voice was filled with frustration. He was walking away, just like he always did, but I was not going to let him.“Why do you always keep walking away?” I spat. “You call yourself the hybrid king but you always end up acting like a coward and end up fleeing when things get intense.”“Stay and let’s finish this.” I added.He stopped mid-step but didn’t turn around. “There’s nothing to finish.”“You’re lying Von.” I declared. “I can see through your lies.”Von exhaled heavily, then turned slightly, just enough for me to catch the edge of his profile.“I mean every word I said.” “I also mean it, when I said that you aren’t going anywhere with Malcolm.”I took a step closer, my heart pounding. “Give me one valid reason why?”“I don’t owe you any more explanation. You know the reason why and if you haven’t told Malcom you better do.”“I feel there’s more to it. I know this isn’t about some deal you made with the Alpha in my pack. This is about what you said

    Rae“This is the part where you tell me I was right,” Malcom said smugly, leaning back against the stone railing of the balcony. His arms were crossed over his chest, a self-satisfied smirk plastered across his face. The cool night air played with his hair, and the glow of the moon illuminated his sharp features. I sighed, rolling my eyes but unable to suppress a small smile. “Fine. You were right.” Malcom chuckled, tapping his temple. “Told you, Rae-Rae. I know these things. Call it instinct.” I shook my head, wrapping my arms around myself. After everything that had happened, the weight on my chest had finally started to lift. Malcolm had been there to push me toward a truth I had hoped for.“I guess that means your job here is done,” I said, trying to keep my tone light, though a part of me already felt the sting of his impending departure. He nodded, exhaling deeply. “Yeah. Time for me to go.” I frowned. “You don’t have to leave.” Malcom gave me a small smile. “I do,

    VonThe sunlight filtered through the large windows.It was morning and I smiled enjoying the air filled with the scent of Rae’s skin, still warm from our shared night. She lay before me, and for a moment, the entire world seemed to be still. I moved my fingers along the lines of her back, but then my fingers halted when my eyes landed on a scar. I had noticed it weeks ago, but I had never asked. Rae shifted slightly, sensing my pause. She turned her head, eyes still heavy with sleep, and looked my way. “What happened?” she asked softly. “Nothing,” I murmured, attempting to wave it off, but I knew I had been caught. She propped herself up, watching me with curious eyes. “Is it the scar?” I nodded. Rae sat up fully, letting the blanket slip down her body. My eyes flickered away, suddenly aware of how vulnerable we both were. “I actually got it in the fire,” she admitted. “The fire that killed my parents.” I stilled, at the sound of her words, remembering how the wh

    Rae The scent of freshly baked bread and simmering broth filled the kitchen as I stepped inside. The kitchen was warm when I stepped in, but before I could fully take it in, Anna’s voice echoed through the walls. “Here comes the lover girl!” She chimed. I rolled my eyes, already knowing where this was going. “Stop that,” I muttered, shaking my head. Anna grinned, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “You’re glowing, you know.” She leaned in, lowering her voice as if sharing a scandalous secret. “Let me guess, you and Von—” Before she could finish, I reached out and lightly smacked her shoulder. Anna let out a dramatic gasp, clutching at her chest as if I had truly wounded her. “Oh, come on, Rae! It’s obvious!” “To you and not to others. You don’t have to yell, what if the headband or someone hears you?” “Then they would know that our hybrid king is finally in love,” Anna said. I gave her a warning look, but she only smirked. “If someone had told me months ago that you a

    VonThe full moon hung high above us, its pale glow illuminating the gathering ground. I could feel the weight of a hundred gazes following my every move and I knew who they were looking at. It was Rae. I turned to look at her, squeezing her hands tightly.“I’m here okay!” I whispered.“That’s all that matters.”The moment Luigi sighted me he walked in my direction. His sharp eyes flickered toward Rae before snapping back to me. “Do you remember what you’re supposed to do?” he asked in a low voice. I gave a small nod, but before I could respond, his gaze hardened as he returned to Rae.“Why is she here?” He asked.“She belongs here,” I said firmly. Luigi exhaled sharply. “Von, she’s supposed to be hidden.” “No,” I said, with boldness in my tone. “I won’t do that. I won’t hide her.” Luigi’s expression darkened, but he held his tongue. The full moon gathering officially began, and the voices of the people hushed as the ceremony commenced. One of the elders stepped forward

    VonThe moment I stepped into the room, my heart clenched at the sight before me. Rae sat curled up on the edge of the bed, her shoulders shaking as she sobbed quietly into her hands. The frustration I felt disappeared during that moment.The moonlight streaming through the window illuminated the tears streaking down her face. Seeing her like this made something inside me ache. I hated it. “Rae,” I said softly, stepping closer. She sniffled, barely lifting her gaze to meet mine. Her eyes, normally filled with warmth and fire, were dull with sorrow. “The people don’t accept me, Von,” she whispered, her voice cracking. I exhaled sharply and sat beside her. “Don’t think like that,” I told her gently, reaching out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “They just need time—” “No,” she cut me off, her voice rising slightly. “I was right. No one would like me.” “Rae—” “They never will,” she continued, shaking her head. “I’m not meant to be Luna. I don’t belong her

    Rae“Anna told me we are leaving for the weekend,” I informed Von.The moment Anna told me we were going on a getaway, I was skeptical. I had so many questions. I was also finding it hard to believe that it was.“Is what Anna said true?” I asked peering into his eyes.“Yes, we’re leaving tonight,” he confirmed, in a rather deep tone. I hesitated, biting my lip. “Are you sure this is the right time? With everything going on?” Von tilted his head slightly, stepping closer until I could feel the heat radiating off him. His scent—earthy, mixed with a hint of cedar wood—wrapped around me like a blanket. “Rae,” he said in a soft tone, “we need this. You need this. After everything that has happened all we need right now is some time to ourselves. This would be our moment to breathe.” His words settled something inside me. I hadn’t realized how much I craved an escape until now. Just a moment to forget the weight of being his supposed Luna, the judgment of his people, the ever-loomin

    RaeI woke up to the smell of home-cooked food drifting through the house. My eyes fluttered open, and for a moment, I forgot where I was. The sound of waves crashing against the shore was a soothing reminder. The getaway!I stretched lazily, letting the sheets slip off my body, and sat up. The memory of last night—of Von and the way he had touched me, the way he had devoured me. I shook my head, pushing the thought aside before I completely lost myself in it. Curious, I slipped out of bed, padding barefoot across the wooden floors toward the kitchen. As I stepped in, the sight before me made me pause. Von stood at the stove, shirtless, his muscles flexing with every movement. He was stirring something in a pan, looking completely at ease as if he belonged in a kitchen just as much as he did on a throne. He looked so sexy, I couldn’t believe I got to have this hunk of a man to myself.Von was all mine. It was so unbelievable and it felt like a dream.I was so lost in his mesmer

    Rae I turned and my eyes landed on Jace. He was breathing heavily, his grip still tight around my arms. “Von—” My voice broke. “He’s here. I can feel him.” Jace’s eyes darkened. “Rae…Von isn’t here.” “He is!” I responded sharply. Jace’s hands tightened on me. “No, he’s not. Rae, you were about to walk into the sea! Do you even realize what you were doing?” His words hit me like a slap. So did the cold and the darkness. I suddenly became aware of my surroundings and at that moment Reality crashed into me. “How did I get here?” My voice was hoarse and my eyes flickered to Jace. “You were sleepwalking,” Anna said before he could respond. She stood beside him. I didn’t even realize she was here until she spoke. “Sleep waking?” I repeated in shock. Anna nodded. “This is the second time you’ve done it, Rae.” I shook my head, confusion clouding my thoughts. “I wasn’t sleepwalking.” “You were!” Anna’s voice rose in frustration. “If I hadn’t realized you weren’t by my si

    Rae“Come along, men!” Luigi’s voice echoed through the halls. “We need to start making preparations.” Luigi turned away from me, and he headed towards the gate with Jace by his side, the other councilmen walked closely behind them with happy looks on their faces.I didn’t expect Luigi to leave without saying something cruel, or reminding me that my place in the palace was about to come to an end.I guess he was so eager to start planning out for the ceremony that he didn’t have time for his usual taunts.I pushed my thoughts about Luigi away the moment Jace returned.Anna and I exchanged a brief look before she pulled me along. “Come on.” “So… you agreed?” Those were the first words to leave Anna’s mouth the moment we got closer to Jace.Jace exhaled, nodding. “The council didn’t give me a choice.” He spoke in a low voice. Then, almost as if reminding himself, he added, “But… like you said, this is a chance to redeem myself.” Something in his voice made me study him carefull

    RaeThe minute I turned to the other side I realized that the bed was empty.Anna was gone. The sheets beside me were cold, meaning she had left a while ago. I blinked against the dull ache in my head, my body feeling heavy as if I hadn’t moved in days. When I sat up, my eyes caught my reflection in the mirror across the room. I barely recognized myself. My eyes were swollen and rimmed with dark circles from endless crying. My hair was tangled from the restless nights of tossing and turning. I looked empty and Lost. I forced myself to look away so I didn’t end up being reminded of my misery not that I cared. I hadn’t showered in two days. Hadn’t eaten. I was living life like I was on the edge of it.With slow movements, I pulled myself out of bed, dragging my feet across the cold floor. My body protested with every step, but I kept moving. I left my room, my mind numb as I made my way downstairs. The palace was quiet, the kind of silence that made grief feel heavier. As

    Rae The next day arrived, and my heart felt heavier than it did yesterday. Luigi arrived at the palace quite early.I had sighted him from the courtyard and paid him no attention. He had stopped me from attending my own husband’s funeral and I saw him as an enemy.“Luna!” He called my attention. I was surprised he addressed me with that title but I didn’t let him know I was.I even acted like I didn’t exist and I didn’t hear him speak.“I know you heard me!” He said boldly and I remained as I was until he walked in my direction.“I don’t know why you are acting this way.” He said and I kept my head tilted. “I just wanted to let you know that the ceremonial procession for a new king needs to begin right away.”His last words caught my attention and I turned to look at him.“A new king?” I scoffed. “Von just died, at least give the people time to mourn.”“That’s not possible.““Why?” I asked.“An empty throne gives the enemy chances to attack.” He replied. “That’s why it is very import

    Rae“Luna!” The guards had called out to me as I paraded the throne room the next day.I had come to the throne room the minute I woke up.I was hoping the words that Jace told me were all a lie and that I would find Von sitting on his throne, but when I got here I realized that Jace words weren’t some fantasy.It was true.My von was no more.I had broken out in sobs just like did yesterday, clutching my chest as the weight of the truth fell on me. “Luna!” The guards called out again.I turned and I saw one of them step forward, holding something in his hands. It was a piece of Von’s cloak and his sword. I stared at the torn fabric, my heart hammering against my ribs. The morning air felt heavier, pressing against me, and stealing my breath. “We could not find his body, Luna.” The guard said in a firm voice. “It seemed the rogues got rid of it.” I met his gaze, sorrow filling my eyes. A bitter part of me already knew what he would say before he did. “Keep it in the bed

    Von “Rogues,” I muttered to myself, as I walked out to the palace. The word sent a chill through my veins. I had known this was coming. For days now, something in my gut had been warning me. I hadn’t had a vision in a while, but I could feel the uneasy feeling creeping inside even after Rae’s attack.The minute I saw Jace, I spoke up.“I need you to bring the guards at the courtyard to the border, rouges have been sighted beyond.”“Is there an attack?” He asked.“There will be” I responded. “So come prepared.”Jace nodded and I walked towards my car.“Where to your majesty?” The driver asked stepping right in front of me.“Don’t worry,” I responded. “I will be driving myself.”He nodded and then he walked away.I got into the car quickly, and before I shut the door I remembered I didn’t take my sword.I sent one of the guards close by to get it for me and once he did I zoomed off.My hands gripped the wheel tightly as I sped toward the border. I pressed harder on the accelera

    RaeWhen we returned to the palace, the sky was cloaked in darkness, the moon was visible behind thick clouds. Von and I barely made it through the hallways before our lips found each other again. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me against him as we stumbled toward our chambers, lost in the heat of the moment. But just as we neared the door, a sharp voice stopped us. “My King,” one of the guards called, his expression grave. Von sighed, pulling away from me reluctantly. “What is it?” “Rogues have been spotted beyond the border.” Von’s expression changed, his golden eyes darkened, and the relaxed man who had just been kissing me disappeared in an instant. “I have to go.” He said pulling away from me.I swallowed hard. “Von, be careful.” He cupped my face, pressing a quick kiss to my forehead. “I’ll be right back,” he promised before turning to the guard. “Gather the others. Tell them to come to the courtyard.” I watched him disappear down the hallway, my stomach t

    RaeThe ride back to the palace was tense. Von hadn’t said a word since we left the town square. I could feel the frustration radiating off him in waves. He wanted to finish Luigi. I knew that, but I had stopped him once again and that hurt his ego.When we arrived at the palace, the silence continued. I wanted to address the matter quickly but Von had called the attention of the guards immediately we stepped into the palace and told them to meet him in the study.“Give me three minutes.” He told me before heading to the study.As I made my way to the room, Anna approached me and she did not look happy.“How dare you run off like that?” She questioned.“I’m so sorry but I was worried about Von.”She rolled her eyes at me, and I knew she wouldn’t stay mad at me. It was typical Anna.“You want me to keep getting on the king’s naughty list.” His words pulled me out of my thoughts.“That’s not going to happen,” I told her. “Von wouldn’t do anything to you he’s actually angry at me.“I s

    RaeAs the car neared town, I could hear the shouts echoing through the streets. People were yelling, their voices filled with anger and fear. The town felt like a battlefield, with pack members pushing against the guards who stood like an impenetrable wall around the center of the commotion. "Pull over," I ordered the driver, in a firm voice.He hesitated for a moment, glancing at me as if second-guessing whether he should obey. But one look at my determined expression, and he gave in, slowing the vehicle until it came to a stop. I stepped out and immediately felt the heat of the situation but what caught my attention first was Von. He was standing in the middle of the street, flashing the people one of his cold gazes, and beside him—on his knees was Luigi whose hands were tied behind his back.There was also blood dripping out of his nose and his face looked like it had received thousands of blows.I was a bit confused. Why was Luigi in that position? I thought all Von want
