The THORN LUNA Chapter Eighty Three
Emily's POV I looked at the room with teary eyes. There was literally nothing much in his room. It was empty and looked like a beggars’ habitation. I walked further into the room and looked at the little bed at the corner of the room as well as the small bag containing his belongings.Although I was Luna of Galahad pack, I hadn't treated Fayne well. Yet I asked a lot from him, I also used him and dumped him when he no longer added meaning to my life.Fayne was not an ordinary person. He was the human king's hunter used to living life in a prideful and large way yet because of me choosing him as my slave, he started to live in a shabby way and I didn't think about bettering his life up until now.My eyes scanned the room and I walked to his closet and picked out the robe which lingered mostly of his scent.“Melissa, you can go. Put the new clothes in my room.”“Thank you,” I said as she walked out of the room leaving me alone.I brought the robe close to my nose and brought it close t

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

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

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

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.

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 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

Emily's POV The table was simple tonight — fresh bread, grilled meat, and platters of fruits and cheeses. No servants, no formalities. Just us.Fayne poured drinks while I set out the plates, and before long, laughter began to fill the air — the natural, effortless kind that only comes from people who know each other too well. "You’re heavy-handed with the wine, old man," Kael teased, raising his cup at Fayne.Fayne gave him a mock glare. "I’m making up for all the times I had to deal with your troublemaking.""Ah," Aerlyn smirked over the rim of her glass, "he means the time you tried to tame a wyvern in your second year of training."Kael groaned. "I will *never* live that down.""You were brave," I said, unable to hide a chuckle, "but extremely foolish.""And slightly singed," Fayne added, lifting his cup toward Kael with a wink. "To Kael, the bravest fool we know."We all laughed and raised our glasses together, the clinking sound ringing through the open air.The conversation

Emily's POV The days that followed were spun from sunlight and laughter.After breakfast one morning, Fayne clapped his hands together and grinned wickedly. “Time for a family sparring match,” he announced, eyes gleaming. “No backing out!”Aerlyn immediately brightened, already stretching her arms behind her head. “I’m in.”Kael gave a loud, theatrical groan. “Do I have to? I almost died last time!”“You stubbed your toe last time,” I said dryly, sipping my tea. “Hardly a near-death experience.”Still, when we gathered outside in the practice yard, Kael bounced on his toes with nervous excitement. The sun was high, the breeze carried the scent of wildflowers, and the whole pack seemed to watch from the edges, smiling at the scene unfolding.We split into teams — Fayne and Kael against Aerlyn and me."Unfair," Kael complained immediately. "Mother and Aerlyn are terrifying!""You wound me," I said with a grin, circling him slowly. "But I’ll take it as a compliment."The match began w

Emily's POV The days that followed felt golden.The castle, often a place of endless decisions and strategy, settled into a rhythm that was almost domestic. It wasn’t that there weren’t matters to attend to — of course there were. Packs still needed watching, alliances still needed tending. But the urgency that had once ruled every breath was gone, replaced by something warmer, deeper.Trust.Aerlyn spent her mornings training patrol groups, her voice sharp and sure as she called out orders in the training fields. She was growing into her power in a way that made my heart ache with pride. Some mornings I would watch her from the balcony, sipping tea while the wind carried her laughter up to me.Kael had thrown himself into studying — a surprise to all of us. He was determined to master governance, battle strategies, herbal remedies, everything he could get his hands on. It was as if, after the talk about leadership, he had decided to prove he was ready for more.Sometimes, I would fi

Emily's POV “We’re not as young as we used to be,” I murmured, feeling the ache in my bones with a smirk.“But we’re better,” he said. “We know when to stop fighting the world.”I turned toward him, resting my head on his shoulder. “This is what we fought for.”He didn’t answer with words, just pressed a kiss to my forehead.Eventually, reluctantly, we returned home.As we rode into the castle gates, our cloaks damp and hair wild, the guards blinked at us like we were forest spirits returning from myth. We waved them off before they could ask questions, and made our way back to our private quarters, still grinning like fools.We’d barely stepped out of the bathing chamber when there was a knock at the door. This time, it wasn’t a guard. I knew the rhythm.“Come in,” I called, already smiling.Aerlyn entered first, her braids freshly redone, her uniform pristine. Behind her, Kael followed, taller than before, but still hiding part of his face behind his curls when he felt uncertain.“

Emily's POV “Was hoping you'd think I was unconscious,” he mumbled into my hair. “So you wouldn’t make me move.” I laughed softly and turned toward him, our legs tangling naturally. He looked younger in the morning light, softer. As if the weight of his past had stepped back, if only for a few hours. I brushed my fingers across his brow, smoothing back a strand of hair that had fallen in his eyes. “I don’t want to move either,” I whispered. “Then don’t,” he said, pulling me closer. “We’ve earned one morning.” It was a strange thing—stillness. Foreign, almost. Our love had bloomed in war, grown through hardship, deepened through leadership. Most days, it felt like we were always on the edge of something: a threat, a decision, a moment too big to breathe through. But today… Today, we were just Emily and Fayne. Not Alpha. Not demon. Not legend. Just two people who had made it through the storm and still chose each other. He kissed the top of my head. “Still thinking about Kael?”

Emily's POV The echo of my children’s voices still lingered in the corridor even after I walked away. Something had changed—subtly, but powerfully. Kael and Aerlyn had finally found a rhythm, however fragile. That mattered more than any council, any throne. I drifted into the quiet of our chambers, the familiar warmth of it greeting me like a gentle tide. Fayne stood near the window, bathed in moonlight, his arms crossed as he stared into the distance like he always did when his mind wandered too far. He turned when he heard me, and his crooked smile instantly softened everything in me. “They’ll be alright,” I said, sinking into the edge of the couch. He raised a brow. “Kael didn’t burn down anything?” “Not today,” I teased. Fayne chuckled and walked over. “Then we’ll call that a win.” There was silence for a beat, one that didn’t demand to be filled. We were getting good at this kind of peace—the quiet between the wild. The world outside always turned, but we had carved out

Emily's POV I nodded. “Exactly. A joint council. One that unites the packs and keeps decisions balanced. Aerlyn will lead the Galahad and Red Cross packs, yes. Kael will govern Donovan when the time comes. But their power won't lie in their territories. It’ll lie in their ability to come together for decisions that affect all of us.”“Smart,” Fayne admitted, brushing a hand across my shoulder. “Give them shared stakes so there’s less room for rivalry.”“And more room for respect,” I added. “We’ll train them to make decisions together. Mediate conflicts. See each other as equals, even when their paths differ. We’ll show Kael that his role isn’t smaller, just different. He’ll grow into a protector, a strategist, a voice for the more volatile edges of the packs.”Fayne gave a small smile. “That sounds like you’ve been planning this for years.”“I have.” I turned toward him fully, letting the weight of my thoughts settle. “Because I know what it’s like to be raised in a world that pits s
The THORN LUNA Chapter One Hundred and Seventy One
Emily's POV The sun had dipped low, brushing golden light across the glass windows as I stood at the edge of the balcony, overlooking Galahad’s inner gardens. The breeze was gentle, tugging at the silk of my robe, and in the distance, I could hear laughter—Aerlyn training the younger wolves again, just as she always did.Behind me, I heard Fayne’s footsteps, quiet but heavy with thought. He came to stand beside me, his arms folded, gaze cast out toward the horizon. For a moment, we stood in silence, listening to the world we had carved out together. The peace we had fought for. Bled for.I sighed. “We have a family.”Fayne looked at me, his expression softening.“There were nights,” I continued, voice low, “when I didn’t think that would ever be our truth. That we’d ever survive long enough to see it. But now we have two children. A daughter who's strong enough to lead, and a son with a heart that's still learning to shape itself.”His hand slid gently over mine, warm and grounding.
The THORN LUNA Chapter One Hundred and Seventy
Aerlyn’s POV I sat at the edge of the long stone table, the parchment map spread before us rippling with age and memory. Every scar on its surface marked a past battle, a lesson etched in ink and blood. Now it was my turn to leave a mark.Alpha Dante from the southern border was mid-sentence, proposing a joint patrol with his fastest wolves. Normally, I would’ve deferred to my mother—but today, I leaned forward.“That route won’t hold,” I said, surprising even myself with how calm my voice was. “The rogue movements I tracked followed wind pockets and low paths. They’re avoiding open terrain. We’d be leaving our flank exposed.”The room went still. A few of the elders exchanged glances. One even scoffed under his breath. But my mother said nothing. She didn’t have to. Her silence was her faith in me.Dante grunted, pointing at a different section of the map. “Then you suggest we close in here?”I nodded. “And reroute the scouts to this ridge. It’s narrow but provides full visibility.
