The THORN LUNA Chapter Ninety Three
Emily's POV We moved together like we were made for this. Made for each other. His body pressed into mine, deeper, harder, but always with that restraint that let me choose. That let me lead.I did.I rolled him onto his back, straddled him, rode the edge of pleasure until it crested and broke like a wave inside me. My cry echoed off the stone walls. And when he followed, body trembling, voice rough and low and mine, I felt power unlike anything I’d ever known.We collapsed together, tangled and gasping, sweat-slicked and glowing from more than just the fire.My head rested on his chest again. This time, I wasn’t shaking.He kissed the top of my hair. “They’ll follow you, Emily.”I closed my eyes.“Because they already do. They just don't know it yet.”And I finally believed him. The fire had died down to glowing embers by the time I stirred.My body ached in all the best ways, the kind of ache that reminded me I’d let go. Fully. Fiercely. And without fear.Fayne lay beside me, stil

Emily's POV Because Fayne wasn’t just mine.He was with me.When we pulled away from each other, I looked at Fayne.“Hey, what's wrong?” He asked me.“I have something that I haven't told you about.” I said.“And what is it?” He asked, his eyes boring into mine.“Well,” I whispered. “It's about my rogue friends. Penelope sent a letter talking about how I'm in danger and I think it's because of Jacob.”Fayne clenched his fists.“There must be something Penelope knows from the outside that I don't know. So I would need your help with something.”Fayne leaned in closer as though urging me to say what was on my mind.“I need you to leave Galahad pack.”Fayne's jaw dropped and he held my shoulders softly. “I can't leave you when I know Jacob is out to get you.”“You don't understand, Fayne. Regardless of what you think, I'm still going to send you out of the pack to achieve a greater mission that is of help to me.”Fayne pursed his lips because he knew that he had no choice.“Then what is

Fayne's POV The cool morning air bit at my cheeks as I stepped out of the Galahad Pack House, but the heat from Emily’s lips still lingered on mine. I touched them without thinking, a smirk tugging at the corner of my mouth. That kiss—raw, unexpected, real—kept replaying in my mind like a song I couldn’t shut off. Her scent still clung to my hoodie, soft and electric, and I could swear her heartbeat still echoed faintly in my ears.The Demon in me wanted to turn back. To storm up the stairs, pull her into my arms, and claim her—completely. But I didn’t. I couldn’t.Not yet.There were too many questions still unanswered. Could we make it? She was a werewolf, soon-to-be Alpha and I was just a Demon. I loved her more than life but when it came down to it, was love enough?I chuckled to myself, thinking of Emily's poised and beautiful eyes. She was strong and beautiful, I loved her for it. But mostly because she was just herself no matter the situation. My stomach growled loud enough t

Fayne's POV After going back to the inn, I paid for a room. I went to the bathroom to take a shower and when I came back, I saw a note on my bed.Meet me in the woods- Penelope I grabbed the paper and squeezed it into a ball and tossed it in the nearby basket.I got changed quickly and prepared to leave. Then I grabbed the box containing the gold and went out.***The woods was different at night.Colder. Wilder. Alive in a way cities could never understand.The trees whispered to each other as I moved between them, the shadows hugging my frame like a second skin. The scent trail was faint, but I followed it—pine, smoke, and something old. Penelope had vanished like smoke in daylight, but not without leaving a trace.She wanted to be found. She just wanted it to be on her terms.And I wasn’t in the mood to play by her rules.The deeper I pushed into the woods, the more the forest changed. The air thickened, charged with some kind of old magic that buzzed against my skin. Even my wol

Fayne's POV She used to feed him clovers while I watched, pretending I didn’t care. But I did. God, I did.The memory slammed into me like a wall of light, piercing the haze.Gray would sit in her lap for hours, twitching his nose while she read stories aloud. She’d always look up and smile at me—soft, kind, like I wasn’t some ticking bomb of wrath and teeth. Like I was human.I blinked, and the vision of blood drained away. The rabbit in front of me froze, sensing me. One more heartbeat and I could’ve—But I didn’t.I let out a long breath, stepped back. The creature bolted, a blur of brown vanishing into the trees.I stood there, trembling, hands clenched into fists.The demon inside me snarled, unsatisfied.But Emily’s memory held stronger.For now.I thought handing off the box would bring me peace. I thought completing that task would loosen the weight that had been growing on my chest since the day I was pulled into all this. But the truth is, even after placing the box into Pe

Emily's POV After Fayne left, the silence in the pack house felt louder than it had in weeks. I tried not to notice how empty the halls seemed. I tried not to notice how my chest felt like it was hollowed out. He didn’t say goodbye—not really. Just a quiet look and the brush of his shoulder as he disappeared into the trees. Typical Fayne.So I did what I always do when everything feels like it’s spiraling—I danced.Not for anyone else. Just for me.I waited until the common room was empty, then turned on that old, scratchy music player tucked behind the bookshelf. The pack didn’t care for music anymore—not since the last Alpha banned “useless” rituals—but I kept a few tunes hidden, tucked away like old friends. I played one, soft and slow, and let my feet remember who I was before everything got so… *twisted.*The rhythm became a meditation. My mind floated as my body moved. I could breathe again in those moments—really breathe. No Alpha, no orders, no poisonous tension pressing down

Emily's POV The sun was barely down when I retreated to my chambers, but the ache behind my eyes told me night had long since fallen inside me. I didn’t bother lighting all the lamps—just one by the fireplace to cast a warm enough glow that I could pretend the world outside didn’t exist. My boots slid off with a soft thud, and I sank onto the edge of the bed with a sigh, letting my arms go slack at my sides. The fabric of the sheets was cool against my palms, the velvet coverlet tugged gently beneath me as I leaned back. Just for a moment, I told myself. Just a short rest. The minute my head hit the pillow, the heaviness in my chest began to dissolve. My thoughts were a swirling pool of everything I’d tried to avoid all day—the funeral preparations, the silence in the halls, the empty chair at supper. And the waiting.Always the waiting.I didn’t even hear the door open until a familiar voice called gently from the threshold. “Milady?”I blinked, lifting my head off the pillow. Mel

Emily's POV He held my gaze, something burning behind his eyes now. Not anger. Not exactly. Just... urgency.“If something does come,” he said, “promise me you’ll call me.”“I always do.”“No.” He stepped even closer. “Not when it’s convenient. Not when you’ve run out of options. Call me first.”I nodded slowly, not trusting myself to speak. Finally, I sighed.“Fayne,” I said softly, arms still folded over my chest. “You should go.”He didn’t answer at first. He just looked at me, his eyes unreadable in the dim glow from the fireplace. The window behind him was still cracked open, letting in a hush of cold air that licked at the back of my neck.“I can stay until morning,” he offered, voice low, almost tender. “Just to make sure—”“I’ll be fine,” I interrupted, a little more firmly. “I can handle tonight. You need rest too.”For a long moment, he didn’t move. Then he stepped forward—closer than he had all evening—and reached out to gently brush a strand of hair from my cheek. His fin

The THORN LUNA Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Six
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?”
The THORN LUNA Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Three
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

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.

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.

Aerlyn’s POVThe gates of Galahad came into view just as the sun began to rise behind them, casting long gold shadows across the valley. Home. Safe. But not for long—not if what I found in Hollowpine was any indication.I dismounted quickly, handed my reins off to a stable guard, and headed straight for the central hall. My clothes were caked in dust, and my mind still raced with what I saw, what I *felt*.Guards nodded as I passed, their expressions shifting from relief to concern when they caught sight of my face. I must’ve looked like I hadn’t slept in days. I hadn’t.At the doors to the throne room, I didn’t wait to be announced.“Open the doors,” I told the sentries.They did.Inside, Mother stood near the map table, Fayne beside her. The room fell quiet as I entered, scroll still sealed in one hand, and a bloodied sash from Hollowpine in the other.Emily’s eyes locked on mine. Calm, but alert. “You’re early.”I dropped the sash onto the table. “Because Hollowpine isn’t there any
The THORN LUNA Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Eight
Emily’s POVThe stars were starting to blink into the sky when I found her in the training yard, alone, her sword still strapped to her back. She was sitting on the edge of the stone bench, shoulders relaxed now, legs swinging softly like she had when she was younger. She heard me before she saw me—her ears were always sharp—and looked up with those fierce, storm-hardened eyes I’d given her.“You handled it well,” I said, stepping toward her.“I wasn’t sure I did,” she murmured, eyes flicking back to the horizon.I sat beside her, our shadows stretching long behind us. “You didn’t lash out. You didn’t act for pride. You made a decision, and you stuck by it. That’s leadership, Aerlyn. It’s not always about winning—it’s about keeping everyone alive long enough to understand what the game even is.”She tilted her head, a small smirk curling her lips. “I sounded like you today. I said something and immediately thought, ‘that’s something Mom would say.’”I laughed softly. “Is that a compli
