The Mute Luna Bride Nothing like a monster
ELORA The moment my eyelids parted to take in the sunlight, a dull ache spread through my body. It wasn’t as bad as last night, but it lingered nonetheless, and brought back cruel and painful memories to my mind. I almost died last night. I would have been dead if not for…I blinked against the soft morning light filtering through the tent as my eyes struggled to adjust. That was when I saw him.Ryker.He was seated on the chair beside my bed, his head tilted slightly against the backrest, eyes closed. Asleep.For a long moment, I just… looked at him. I didn’t know why I did it. I wasn’t supposed to spare him as much as a second glance knowing who he was and what his pack had done to mine in the past, their role in this war, in the death of women and children from all over. Maybe because it was easier than thinking about the pain. Or because I had never actually taken the time to look at him before.Unlike Kael who had handsome gentle features, Ryker’s face was strong with sharp

RYKER Elora sat on the edge of the bed, her dark eyes locked onto mine as a frown stretched the gentle features of her face. The sunlight filtering through the tent’s entrance bathed her in a soft glow, but there was nothing delicate about her expression.“I’m not going back,” she said again, and I could hear her voice in my head even after I told her I didn’t want to. She was stubborn, resilient. I could give her that. “I’m going to become stronger,” she continued. I studied her, waiting for hesitation, fear—anything to show that she wasn’t thinking clearly. But there was none. Only resolve. Did she know what she was getting into? The wolves of the North were everything we were rumored to be, and worse. Yes. I had heard her thoughts earlier. “You could have died last night,” I reminded her. “If you stay here, the pain will only continue. Odessa said—”“I have told you, I don’t care what the healer said,” she cut in. “Just give me the potions I need for the pain, and I will

ELORA One week had passed since the mark of Kael’s mate bond almost killed me.Seven days since my body burned from the inside out as my mate - or ex mate - touched another woman like he had touched me. No doubt, Selene. It had been on the night of their wedding after all. I didn’t want to think too much about it, but that night was a recurring nightmare. I would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely and pressing my hand against my chest for fear that it was happening again.Strangely, it hadn’t. Now, I was here, dressed in clothes that meant to belong to a warrior, yet I felt like nothing but an imposter. It was worse when I realized I was standing in a tent on the training grounds. I was about to learn to fight like them. My father’s enemies. I scoffed at the irony of it all. Who would have thought? I tugged at the stiff leather straps cutting into my arms and shifted uncomfortably in the loose tunic that hung off my shoulders. The trousers were th

ELORA In a split second, my entire life flashed before my eyes. Kiara moved very quickly, and her blade came down fast.My breath caught in my throat. I was stuck to the ground, trapped in the mud. I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe. And when I closed my eyes in fear, I couldn’t even see. Terror wrapped around my body, sinking its claws into my limbs and rooting me to the spot. My heart pounded against the muscular walls of my chest. I should have moved. I wanted to duck, to dodge, to do anything, but my body betrayed me.So, I braced for the pain. For the cold bite of steel splitting through my skin. For the feeling of the warmth of my blood as it spilled to the ground. I waited to feel life slowly slip away from my fingers. If I died, it’ll be on the battle field of the enemy, and as a courageous woman, not a loser. That was more than enough for me. However, the blade never came.Instead, there was a sharp clang. It was followed by loud gasps from the warriors around. A crackli

RYKER The Stormrider princess had some balls on her, alright. That I could give her. I took a step backwards and let Elora stagger forward. Kiara’s eyes met nine briefly, and I nodded with a curt smile on my face. She understood the assignment. There was a reason Kiara was my best friend and my right hand. She understood me better than anyone else did. It was all planned. Every single part of it.If I couldn’t punish her the way I wanted, since I had to play the part of the patient, kind, Prince waiting to save his lady, I would make her suffer through training. The scrawny mute princess hadn’t seen anything yet. My fingers clenched into fists at my sides. I was going to make sure she experienced everything my parents went through before they died at the hands of her cruel father. General Varek Valewind, beta of Stormrider pack. Exhaustion. Helplessness. Fear. I would stop at nothing to carve it into her body, burn it into her bones, make every waking moment a walking nightm

ELORA “Do you think she’s going to be able to train today? She’s been unconscious for more than a day. If you'd like to give her some more time to rest…” Ophelia’s words echoed in my ears as I turned in my bed. “Time?” Someone’s voice was laced with venom strong enough to force my eyes open. “While we are here, camping like sitting ducks, our enemies are training thousands of soldiers daily, waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack us. You want to know the one thing we don’t have?” There was a small pause. “Time.”Ryker. When I opened my eyes, I could finally make out the voice. My head threatened to split into two, and it didn’t help that it was so cold. Had it rained last night? I tried to sit up, but my muscles were too sore to move. The bruise on my cheek stung when I rubbed my finger against it. Ryker and Kiara had almost killed me the last time. I had never had to run as much as I did. A shadow loomed at the entrance of my tent, and a voice I recognized all too we

ELORA I clutched the sides of my dress with tight fists. That explained why he hadn’t instructed me to change my clothes. “That’s it,” he said smoothly. “You will experience a torture technique used to make prisoners spill their secrets. The silver will burn you if you touch it, and the cage will be suspended over the training grounds.”I blinked. He was serious.Ryker’s lips curled at the edges, something cruel and almost amused flashing across his face. “I can sense hesitation, princess.” He inched closer to me, eliminating the distance between us. “You want to be a warrior, don’t you?”I let out a shaky breath as I nodded. His lips thinned into a smile. “Warriors do not only fight. Sometimes, they are forced to sit in cages like prisoners. Like animals.”The glimmer in his eyes and the smile on his face disappeared. He appeared to be lost in thoughts, until he turned slowly to look at me. “Get in the cage, Elora,” It was an order. One I would be a fool to go against. I cou

RYKER FUCKING PATHETICThe iron bars slid open, and I watched her take three shaky steps forward. She was definitely going to fall to the ground before she reached me. I could make it easier for her. I took three bold steps towards her, knowing she was angry. I had seen it in her eyes when she looked at the warrior. Soon, she stood before me, trembling. The moment her feet touched solid ground, she lifted her arm, aiming to hit me with what little strength she had left. It was funny, really. She barely had the energy to stand, let alone strike me.I would have let her, of course. With what she had just been put through, she had every right to. Then again, no. Her attempt didn’t please me. She wasn’t strong enough to lay a finger on me. Her attempt was weak, sluggish, remarkably awful to the point that she missed me entirely and stumbled forward.Straight into my arms.I caught her without much effort. Elora was exhausted, panting heavily as she rested in my arms. Her body was d

ELORA I could smell him from the front of my tent. As I slowly took off my burnt dress, Sierra howled softly within me. “No, Sierra.” I scolded my wolf. “We wouldn’t be speaking to him. Not after what he did to us.”She didn’t seem to care though. She continued to make those soft purring noises, pining for him. Frustrated, I heaved a sigh and climbed into bed, making sure to face the part of my tent away from the entrance. I had to be wary of him from now on.“What does he want anyway? Has he come to try to burn down my tent now?” “Why don’t you hear him out at least?”My eyes shot open. “Hear him out?” I sat up straight, faintly annoyed. If only I could see her face to face, I’d have wanted her to look me in the eyes and repeat what she had just. “You were there, Sierra. If you hadn’t saved us, he'd have gotten us both killed! He didn’t even think of that. He hated me so much that he didn’t stop to think of what would happen if he couldn’t put away the fire.”“Maybe he’s here
The Mute Luna Bride Nothing but a tool
RYKER I dropped my towel on the floor and let my body feel the breeze of the midnight air. A cold shower was what was needed to take my mind off everything that had happened in the last few hours. How could I have been so silly? Did my anger towards her cause me to put myself in danger? What if she wasn’t able to save us? I would have been able to contact Kiara as our wolves had a strong bond, but it would have taken a while. I heaved a sigh as I climbed into my bed. It was clear I needed to be more careful. I couldn’t let my feelings towards her get the better of me. It had put me in danger already, what was to say it wouldn’t put my people next time? They were all that mattered to me. Yet, for some twisted as fuck reason, Elora’s face wouldn’t leave my mind.Even then, as I lay in my bed, staring at the ceiling, I could still see her tear streaked face bathed in moonlight, with wind curling around her like a goddess-like extension of herself. Strong. Defiant. Beautiful.She h
The Mute Luna Bride Never have to be afraid again
ELORA Was he fucking kidding me? I was the only one who could save us? Really? Didn’t he just tell me that he was going to leave me here to die, to save myself? Suddenly, for some reason, he couldn’t make it out, and I was supposed to help the both of us out of this?! The heat pressed against my skin like molten iron. It felt awful and unbearable. I had been trapped in many places in my life, but a room lit up in flames had never been one of them. My breath came in shallow gasps with smoke that clogged my lungs. The fire continued to rage, crackling and roaring as it ate away at the walls, the floor, everything. It was coming at us with a speed none of us could stop. I couldn’t believe this was happening. Had he really asked someone to set the place on fire? He set this entire fucking trap for me! As I looked at Ryker, my hands trembled from the molten rage that coursed through my veins. My heart pounded viciously against the tired muscular walls of my chest. “You were goi
The Mute Luna Bride A blast from the past
RYKERThe flames surrounded us like a beast, devouring everything in its path.“What is happening?” Elora asked through our mindlink, jumping to her feet. She looked around with dread filled eyes as fire engulfed the wooden walls around us. It didn’t take long before the fire spread to the wooden boards underneath our feet. “What’s going on? How could this happen?” Smoke choked the air, curling around my throat, but it wasn’t the fire that made my blood run cold.It was her. Elora stood frozen in the center of the burning room, her wide, glassy eyes darting between the collapsing beams and me. Panic twisted her delicate features. Something in me twisted as her breaths came in sharp, desperate gasps.She was scared. Terrified. As she should have been. I needed the right amount of fear from her to make her survival instincts kick in. Yet, I found her squirming so fucking irritating.“You need to calm down, Elora.”She turned to shoot me a glare. “Calm down?”she signed.“Can you
The Mute Luna Bride FIRE!
ELORA I didn’t know it until I saw him in the flesh. Kael Stormrider, the man I had spent all my days watching and loving, praying and wishing to the goddess that he was mine, was seated right in front of me. After Ryker had told me he would be arriving at his camp, I knew I had to take a glimpse of him. Closure was important in my journey, even if wouldn’t come from a direct conversation. I had spent days dreading the moment Kael would find me. I imagined it a thousand different ways. Maybe his sword at my throat, or his hands around my neck. In none of these my numerous thoughts had I imagined standing in silence, watching him from mere feet away, with my heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst through my ribs. He must have lost sense of our mate bond after he made love to Selene. That was the reason for the intense pain I felt the night I almost lost my life, right? I had never imagined him refusing to claim me, even to his enemy. The moment Ryker asked the questio
The Mute Luna Bride Chasing shadows
KAEL I heaved a sigh and rose to my feet. He was seemingly right. By logic, he wasn’t supposed to know about Elora. Varek Valewind made sure that knowledge of her never went past the tower she had been kept in as a child. Selene Valewind was his shining star, and the people of Stormrider sang her praises. She was their Luna afterall, my wife. She had also been terribly displeased when I told her of my decision to search for Elora. “Are you really going to leave me behind and venture into the enemy’s den because of a girl you know is dead? She was attacked and killed. Why should it matter?” Selene had said. I couldn’t understand why she was so full of hate towards her sister. “Why should it matter? How can you ask me that, Selene? She was your sister! If she’s been killed by the enemy, don’t you think she deserves vengeance? Don’t you even want to see her body? Don’t you want to give her the burial rites she deserves?” Selene let out a scoff as she rose to her feet that night. W
The Mute Luna Bride All hail the Stormrider prince
RYKER Elora didn’t seem to want anything to do with Kael Stormrider. If anything, she seemed to want to be kept as far away from him as possible. “I don’t want him to know I’m still alive.”“Keep me away from him, please.”Which was the reaction I had expected. No one in their right minds could blame her for being wary of him. I mean, who tries to kill their mate after marking them? If I were her, I’ll be wary of him as well. Yet, I was restless. I didn’t know how, but I knew Elora more than she believed I did. Now that she knew he would be coming here, there was no way she was going to stay still like a sitting duck. She was far more stubborn and curious than that. I couldn’t sleep throughout the night. I didn’t want to show it, but a thought remained ingrained in my mind. If Kael Stormrider decided my answers were not enough for him, what would happen? I would not hesitate to take his head off if he dared hurt any of my people, but would we be ready to deal with the after effec
The Mute Luna Bride The homecoming…or not
ELORA He said his plan was to train me till I become stronger. That I deserved a second chance at life. I deserved to be regarded and seen as something more than my disability, but in that very moment, I saw through him. Whatever his plans were of helping me, of training me, it was all born from a place of malice. The hatred in his eyes when he spoke of his people told me all I needed to know. Yes. He wanted me to get stronger, but through ways his people were punished. When he turned his back on me and began walking away, I fought hard to pull myself from the ground. Something had happened. I could feel the shift and the sudden surge of strength within me. Was it Sierra? Or was I just so pissed I could have killed him at that moment? “Here, let me help you.” A girl offered me her hand, but I didn’t want to take it. She had short brown hair and black eyes as dark as onyx stones. Her face was one I had seen on the training field a couple of times. I looked away from her and slowl
