The THORN LUNA Chapter Eighty Nine
Emily's POV After going for a run, I felt much more refreshed so I changed into my clothes and headed back. On the way, I bumped into Esther who seemed to be rubbing her stomach softly.“Luna,” she said as soon as she laid eyes on me.I could hear the heartbeat of my child and it made me very angry.“Esther, what are you doing here?” I asked her.“Of course to see the Alpha. The Alpha has arrived hasn't he?”I blocked Esther's view.“Don't worry, I'm not going to tell him that you know about us. I'm only going to give him the news that he is to become a father.”“Esther…” I trailed off. “You cannot be pregnant.”“But I am.” She said with a smug smile.“You know if you tell Jacob that, he'll have me killed right?”Esther smiled smugly. “As much as I'm impressed by your fear, I don't think the Alpha will easily kill you after you ran his affairs so smoothly during his absence.”“Then you don't know Jacob.” I said, stopping in my tracks when I heard a sound from nearby.“Anyway,” I said

Emily's POV Jacob looked at me and scoffed, then he walked back to the table and sat down on it.“Emily, I'm not angry that you tried to kill Esther. I'm mad that you tried to kill her even though she knew she was pregnant with my child.”I clenched my fists. So he knew about that. No matter what, if I kept denying wanting to harm Esther, he wouldn't believe me. He had already made up his mind to see me as the liar and villain in the story. In that case, I was not going to hold back anymore.“So what if I tried to kill Esther? I am your wife legally and your Luna.”“And you think that matters why?”I walked over to Jacob's table. “You promised that we could both live normal lives with the both of us standing side by side and loving and helping each other. Have you changed your mind because of Esther?” I said and he chuckled.“I am the Alpha, I can date as many women as I want and nothing's going to happen.”I scoffed. “Actually, something will happen. While you were gone, I decided t

The wind whispered before the sun rose, threading through the cracks in the windows like it carried secrets. I opened my eyes to that sound—not to an alarm, or footsteps, or even the birds—but to something quieter. Something ancient.Luna instinct, maybe. Or paranoia.I slid from the bed without a sound, wrapping myself in my robe as I padded down the stairs. The house was still, just the way I liked it before the day roared to life. I passed the hearth, still warm from the night fire, and made a mental checklist: patrol rotations, border watch updates, healer stock inventory, and a sit-down with the council about that stupid territory dispute with Briarcliff. Another morning of walking the line between leader and the peacekeeper.And yet, something tugged at me. A thread I couldn’t see, pulling me off script.“Post office,” I whispered to myself, almost absently. I hadn’t planned to go. There were messengers for that. But a part of me—something deep and quiet—urged me there, like fat

Emily's POV The fire in the hearth crackled softly, but it did nothing to quiet the storm inside me.I stood barefoot in the center of the den, arms wrapped tight around my chest as if I could hold the pressure in. The walls, made of ancient stone and memory, suddenly felt too close, too heavy. The scent of pine and wolf musk clung to the air—familiar, grounding, but not enough to anchor me.My mind told me I would lead the pack soon.I had been trained for this. Fought for this. Survived for this. And still… I doubted. Because their voices never stopped echoing in my head. You don’t have what it takes. You’re too soft. You’ll never command the pack.I closed my eyes. Just for a second. Just long enough to pretend I could run.Then I felt it.His presence. A shift in the air, like the room inhaled.“Emily.”His voice—deep, rich, and quiet—sent a shiver down my spine. Not from fear. From recognition. From desire.I turned, slowly, already knowing who I’d see. And there he was. Fayne.

Emily's POVStanding by the window pane in my blue dress, I took out my right hand and snaked my fingers through the rays of moonlight that beamed into the room.For a moment there, my fingers stiffened. My nails got darker and elongated till my claws were fully jutted out.It wasn't a full moon that night, but I hadn't gained total control over my wolf-self.Fancied, — as though I hadn't seen my claws a million times — I swung my hand and cleaved at the window, leaving four slash marks on the glass. I had to hold back, so I wouldn't have to start clearing up broken shards of glass, again.Then I heard a voice, a familiar voice…“Ugh… Seriously, Emily, you have to stop doing that.”I retracted my claws and turned my gaze away from the window. Standing at the other side of the bed, with a hand on her tapered waist, was my best friend, Lyla Dune, a beta like me. She was much stronger though.“You know we just got that window, right? If you break this one, we'll miss the party,” she adde

Emily's POVA dream was what I thought it was. Scratch that. A nightmare would have been more suitable.But it was neither of them. It was real. Real!I could tell it was real because of the pain I felt when Lyla slapped me on the cheek. It pushed my head sideways and I hit my temple against the door’s glass. It hurt. My head spun.The next thing I could remember was seeing her crawl towards the back and open the door. But I still had my weight resting on it, so I fell immediately when it opened.I struck my body against the concrete floor of the car park. I could have sworn to hear a few bone cracks.Then the jeep roared to life and drove out of the car park, feeding me with dust and smoke from its exhaust pipe.I was left battered and bruised, both physically, emotionally, and psychologically. It was probably still a couple of minutes to six that morning because the sun was barely out. The surroundings were still dark and bleak.I heaved a relieved sigh that it was still early. It w

Emily's POVI woke up to find myself alone in the woods, on the night of a full moon.“Ugh…” I rubbed my glabella as my head throbbed in pain. It was as though my brain had switched places with my heart. My skull felt heavy.It was as I tried to lessen the pain that my nose twitched at the smell of a nice, savory scent. Still rubbing my glabella with two fingers, I dropped my head to see a small lunch box at my feet. It had a note stuck on it.I leaned forward as I reached for the lunch box with my free hand. I peeled off the note and brought it under my weary gaze.Even without looking at the footnote, I could instantly tell that it was from Tyler. His handwriting was unique.Reading the note in his voice, it said:“I'm sorry you had to find out like this. I had no choice. I thought you were dead.“I had to take you out of the house after you collapsed and passed out. My dad was visiting. There's food in the flask. Please eat that to replenish your strength.“And don't try to come ov

Emily's POVMy life in the palace wasn't as quiet as I'd expected, ever since I started cleaning in the palace, I had the king's eye on me ever since I started my job. At first, it started out as a curious glance and I shook it off as he was just being cautious around her due to me being new. But after a while, he assigned me to clean his own room and since then his quiet stares had incessantly increased and I felt more uncomfortable around him. I didn't make any friends in the palace and definitely didn't want to become buddies with the king. I tried to avoid him as much as possible but he was actually very persistent and frankly, there was nothing I could do to avoid a king.Soon enough, he started to talk to me with lust in his eyes. I knew that look when I saw it and I was tired of such looks, I really didn't want to be mated to anyone or even want to talk to any man. I wanted to be on my own terms for now. It was already hard enough to live with the hollow in my heart, I don't

Emily's POV If he didn't behave properly, it would tell on me and I didn't want that. Jacob was just beginning to trust me.I sighed deeply. Eventually, I would have to talk to Fayne and know what he was planning.So I went on to go to Fayne's room which was very small and old. He was on the bed which his chest facing down while Melissa was running some ointment on his back.I instantly felt jealous but I knew that my jealousy would not do much. I cleared my throat and they both took note of me.“Luna,” Melissa said as she got up from the bed. “I was just helping Fayne put ointment on his back.”“Can you leave for a few moments, I would like to talk to Fayne.”“But I haven't finished putting the ointment yet.”“You don't have to worry about that, I'll do it.”Melissa looked at me stunned but she didn't say anything else. She walked over to me and placed the ointment in my hands.“I'll take my leave now, Luna.”“Okay, Melissa.”I watched Melissa leave the room, then I walked over to F

Emily's POV He looked as though he had been bruised and battered. My eyes instinctively started to tear up. How did Fayne manage to get caught? “My Luna, won't you come to great me?” Jacob said passionately.I could sense eyes staring at me from all over the hall. However, I merely gathered myself and walked down the stairs untill I was in front of Jacob.“Welcome back, Alpha.” I said, and he smiled, placing a hand on my shoulder.“You're here, Luna. Thank you for taking care of the Pack while I was away.”I nodded, looking at Fayne.“I was just doing what I ought to do.” I said. “By the way, who is that man that you brought back?”I looked back at Jacob and he chuckled, removing his hand from my shoulder.“Don't you know him? He says that he's your slave. Or did he lie to me?” Jacob gave me a troubled look, gesturing for the warriors holding Fayne to come forth.After he did, Jacob lifted Fayne's head so he was looking at me.I swallowed nervously.“Do you know this man?” He asked.
The THORN LUNA Chapter Eighty Six
Emily's POV “Fayne, don't be ridiculous.”“You sent someone to transport embalming fluids to the pack.”“How did you know?!”I wanted to lean forward but I couldn't resist the strength of the numbing feelings in my body.“Emily, I'm a demon now. It's not hard to know about you anymore.” I gritted my teeth, but then I started to feel sleepy.“Fayne, what are you doing to me?”“Go to sleep, love.”Fayne kissed my forehead and slowly, my eyes shut on its own and then I lost consciousness.***The next day, I heard a firm knock on the door.“Luna! Luna! Are you still asleep?”It was Melissa knocking on the door.I frowned and clenched my fists. Then I remembered what happened last night. I looked at the open window and wondered. Where exactly was Fayne?Across the room was the shattered wine bottle…I softly rubbed my eyes and stumbled to the door but I could still hear the sound of Melissa knocking fiercely against the door.I opened the door and Melissa stumbled forward, nearly fallin
The THORN LUNA Chapter Eighty Five
Emily's POV “Emily,” he said, his voice heavy. “I'll do what you want, as long as I get to stay by your side.” I pulled Fayne up from the floor and embraced him. He seemed to be shocked by my action but I was not about to explain myself to him. Actually, I missed Fayne and I, more than anyone was glad that he was alive. “Fayne,” I whispered. “Why not spend the night together?” I suggested. I vaguely left the room to get some drinkable wine and then I went back to my room and poured some in a cup for Fayne. I handed him the cup of wine and he smiled at me. “Emily…” I placed a finger on his lips and he stared into my eyes. “Fayne,” I said. “Just drink the wine.” Fayne dunked down the wine, then he breathed in deeply. “It's a good wine, I love it!” I also dunked down the bottle of wine in my hand. “Actually, this is the last day of me acting as Alpha with Jacob and his Beta gone. But Fayne, why exactly did you choose to come here?” I asked. “Tomorrow, the Alpha and his Beta
The THORN LUNA Chapter Eighty Four
Emily's POV “Are you well, Emily?” He asked me.I folded my fingers into fists. If Fayne somehow survived inspite of what the healer had told me, then why would he come back instead of running away and spending his life in peace?Anyway, him staying by my side was only going to bring him more pain. I had already given him my all, there was no need to keep him any longer.“You, I will give you the opportunity to go back the way you came in. That is, if you don't want to die.”“Are you kidding?” Fayne clenched his fists. “You abandoned me just after our wedding and now you're acting like we're strangers to each other?”I sighed. I couldn't believe that Fayne took that seriously. I only agreed to marry him because he was at the point of death.“Fayne, what happened to you? The healer told me that you didn't have long to live. If somehow she managed to extend your life then you should spend the rest of your life doing something that you actually love instead of trying to get yourself kil
