The THORN LUNA Chapter Seventy
Emily's POV Fayne collected the candles from Beth and I cleared my throat.“Fayne, have you had your medications yet?”“Yes, actually. Now that I'm done making the wedding dress, I should start cooking for all of us.”Without saying anything else, Fayne started to head to the kitchen.“Wait, no, Fayne—”“—Don’t stop him,” Beth interupted me while holding me back.“Any not?” I asked.“Because this is the happiest he's even been.”“And how would you know that?” I said.“I checked his pulse this morning before I headed out. He's a lot better than today than I expected.” “And?” i said without emotion.“Have you heard of the term, the surge?”“What? No.” I said.“It's the body's attempt to give the body a final energy boost before passing away.”“Oh,” I calmed down, feeling a bit guilty. “I didn't know.” I added.“I don't know your reasons for deciding to get married to him but you better give him a good time while he's alive.” Beth said, leaving me stunned.“Your hair still looks fresh,

Emily's POV “Come on, it's time to eat.” Beth told us and only then did Fayne let go of me. I wondered how Fayne was that strong when his hand was hurt.I ran my fingers through my hair and we went inside and ate some food.When we were done eating, we said our good nights to Beth and went to the room Fayne and I were allowed to sleep in.Fayne sat on his bed and sighed. “I can't believe that we're married,” he told me.I swallowed nervously because I knew that this would be the last day I would see Fayne because he would die tomorrow.“Well, we are. So…” I trailed off and Fayne cleared his throat.“Thank you for accepting me, Beth. I promise that I'm going to make it up to you. I promise.”“That's okay,” I said, clearing my throat.There was silence that permeated through us that led to me feeling nervous. But I decided to take the led and quench my desire.I stood up from the bed I was sitting on and lifted Fayne's chin so he was staring up at me.“So, do we mate already?”Fayne's

Emily's POV I gasped and pulled away from the kiss, causing Fayne to smile and bring me closer to him.“You haven't had enough yet?” He said teasingly.“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…”I was interrupted by Fayne pressing his lips against mine, hard and rough. When he pulled away, I gasped surprised by how hot that felt.“Fayne,” I gasped.“You're my wife now. You're entitled to my body just as much as I'm entitled to yours. If I didn't please you enough then all you have to do is tell me, don't ever be shy to tell me.”“That's not it, Fayne.” I tried to reason with him but he took off my clothes and tossed it aside.I was now fully naked before his eyes and there was nowhere to turn.Fayne traced his tongue over my chest and I gasped.“Fayne…”“I'll give it to you as much as you want, I swear.” Fayne ran his fingers over my breasts and I leaned forward, feeling overpowered by his grip. How could he even do that when one of his hands was in jeopardy?Fayne kissed my breasts and I moane

Emily's POV The next day, when I woke up Fayne was no longer by my side. I remembered the fun he and I had the previous night and smiled to myself. I sat up on the bed and began to wear my clothes. When I was fully clothed, I went to the bathroom and cleaned myself up. When I was done, I went outside only to see Beth and Fayne talking.The moment they saw me, Fayne smiled while Beth simply nodded at me.“Did you have good night?” Fayne asked me.My cheeks turned pink as Fayne asked that question.“Great, thanks.” I said without a hint of shame.“Beth, good morning.” I told her and she flashed me a smile.“Morning, Emily.”“Can I talk to you for a sec?” I said, walking over to her and grabbing her hand.“Sure,” She told me.We walked away from the hut and I asked her, “Why isn't Fayne dead yet?”“I have no idea. There's a fluctuation in his health… Anyway, I think there's not much that I can do. His medical case is beyond me. But I still don't think he will live for a long time.” She

Emily's POV “You know you can always use the Beta to get what you want.”“I know,” I said, “But if Jacob suspects his Beta in the slightest, wouldn't he have his head? It's best for me to finish him off by myself rather than get someone else in trouble. And besides, if I kill Jacob myself, only me would share the glory in that. It will also make me feel a sense of justice considering what he did to me in the past, as well as the former Luna, Lyla.”“Thank you for remembering her even though she betrayed you.”“It's all in the past now,” I said. “Right now, all we need to worry about is moving forward.”“Right. By the way, Luna, where's Fayne? Didn't he come here with you?” Melissa asked.I sighed. “Well, Fayne is dead.”Her eyes widened. “Why what happened?”“It's a long story,” I responded.“Please tell me about it,” She said.I nodded at her.“Could you please get me something to eat, first? I'm really tired.”“Oh, my bad, I forgot that you just came back and would like some rest.”

Fayne's POV When I woke up, I felt something weird in my insides. I looked at the bed that I was on and sat up on the bed.“Where is Emily?” I wondered out loud.A small smile appeared on my face as I remembered how we'd make love previously. It was something that I could never get out of my head no matter what.I was about to leave the room when I noticed something on the side of the bed. I walked over to it and saw that it was a bowl that consisted of tools to disember something… or someone.It finally clicked. Beth gave me a bowl to drink previously and after drinking, I became like this. I touched my stomach, wondering exactly what she put in it.I rushed to the living room only to see Beth sitting on a stool, relaxing.“Beth,” I said.The moment she turned to me, I saw shock, surprise and fear in her eyes, all at once.“Fayne, h-how are you still alive?” She started to stumble back as I walked forward towards her.“What do you mean, how am I still alive? Did you poison me?”Bet

Fayne's POV “I don't know the full truth, Fayne. But I do think Emily cared for you, just not in the way that you might have expected.” Beth told me.“I saved her once in the past. I don't know if that's why she agreed to marry me.” I said, running my fingers through my hair in exasperation.Beth helped me stand up, then she said, “It'll be best if you stay here and I help you heal. I am also willing to pass onto you, all of my knowledge on herbs as long as you become my disciple.”My eyes widened. It was a good offer but I didn't care about it. All I wanted to know was the truth. Did Emily truly love me? Or did she only marry me to trick me? Or was it because she thought I would die?This answer was only one I would get if I asked her in person.Goosebumps covered my skin as I remembered how our bodies had mesh onto each other’s so effortlessly. All of that, was it all a lie keeping me stuck?“Fayne,” Beth shook me awake, causing me to come back into face with reality.“What?” I sa

Fayne's POV “Fine,” Beth responded with a smile on her face. “From now on, you are my disciple.”“Yes ma'am,” I bowed my head in respect and she walked over and patted me on the head.“Go on and have some rest, I'll go reboil the water and prepare to heal you.” Beth said and walked out of the room.I sighed and sat up on the bed, breathing deeply.The only person on my mind right now was Emily but I had to focus to be able to go back to her.***When Beth came back she had a deep look on her face. She was carrying a bowl of hot water that smelt different. “What did you put in the water?” I asked her, “It smells weird.”“Oh, you'll know all about that but in the meanwhile, strip.” She told me.I did as she said and she began to put needles in my body. I winced but I took on the pain without a single word of complaint.Then she pressed the hot water into my skin and I let out a loud cry. I felt like I had just been hit by something pepperish.“Take the pain like a man, Fayne. The amou

The THORN LUNA Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Five
Emily's POV The silence between Fayne and me had grown roots—thick, winding vines that curled between glances and swallowed every word we didn’t say.Weeks of brushing past each other. Weeks of watching him from across the training field, his arms slick with sweat, his blade catching sunlight like it had something to prove. Weeks of pretending that I didn’t notice the way he stood a little straighter when I approached, the way his gaze never dropped until I made it.But I felt it.All of it.And I hated the ache of not knowing what lingered behind his quiet loyalty. Or worse—what lingered in me.Tonight, I couldn’t take it anymore.It was late. Most of the pack was asleep. Only the night guards remained, posted at the perimeter under a silver-stained moon. I moved through the stone hallways with purpose, each step echoing like a heartbeat down the corridor.I stopped in front of his room.The door wasn’t locked. I pushed it open without knocking, just as I always did when I wanted to
The THORN LUNA Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Four
Emily's POV "And if he turns on you?" Link stepped closer. "Will you wait until your throat is already slit before you believe me?"I stared at him for a long moment. He was right in many ways. Link had always done the dirty work—without asking questions, without demanding praise. But tonight, he wasn’t just looking at me like his Alpha. He was looking at me like I belonged to him."Is that what this is?" I whispered. "You’re jealous?"His jaw tightened. "I’m not a child, Emily. I don’t get jealous. I get dangerous."His words weren’t a threat. They were a promise.I moved past him to the window, needing space, needing air. Outside, the pack grounds lay quiet under the weight of the night. I could see the training fields where warriors used to train under Jacob’s rule. Where I now held court."You’ve always had my loyalty, Link," I said quietly. "But you don’t own me."He was behind me now. I could feel the heat of him, the restraint in his breath. "Not yet."I turned sharply, our fa
The THORN LUNA Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Three
Emily's POV The silence hung, suffocating and electric. I stood above Rosie, chest heaving, the adrenaline still coursing through my veins. My knuckles throbbed, my limbs ached, but I stood tall. Victorious.Rosie looked up at me, blood on her lip, her pride cracked and leaking through her gaze. And yet—there was something else in her expression now. Something unfamiliar.Respect.The crowd still held its breath, eyes darting from me to Rosie and back again. They were waiting for someone to speak. Waiting to see if the new world we just stepped into would break them... or lead them.Rosie shifted onto one knee, then the other. Slowly, deliberately, she bowed her head to me.“I yield,” she said, voice rough but clear. “Alpha Emily.”The words echoed through the clearing like a bell tolling across a battlefield.A few gasps broke the stillness. Then, like falling dominoes, the rest of her warriors lowered their heads. Submission. Unity.I should’ve felt triumph. I should’ve smiled. But
The THORN LUNA Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Two
Emily's POV The night stretched on like a blade, its sharp edge pressing against my nerves. Sleep was a distant thought, scattered like ashes to the wind. My mind raced, thoughts tangled with fear, determination, and something darker, something that tasted like revenge. I stayed in my room, pacing, my fingers clenching and unclenching. Fayne’s words echoed in my head, and for once, his voice sounded like something more than irritation. It was concern. Desperation. But I couldn’t afford to let it sway me. Not now. Before dawn broke, I slipped from my room and made my way to the training hall. The air was cool, fresh with the scent of rain that hadn’t quite fallen. It was the kind of crispness that made your lungs ache with every breath. The hall was empty, silent but for the quiet creak of the wooden floor beneath my boots. I didn’t want witnesses. Didn’t need anyone to see the way my hands trembled or the ragged edge of my breathing. I grabbed a training dummy, tossing it

Emily's POV “She’s on the eastern border. Brought at least a dozen of her warriors with her.” Melissa’s eyes were wide, panic trembling in her voice. “She’s demanding to speak with you. Alone.” “Alone?” I scoffed. “She must think I’m a fool.” “It’s a trap,” Fayne said, stepping forward. His presence was both reassuring and maddening. After our argument, his loyalty still felt uncertain, a phantom thread swaying in the wind. “She’ll try to catch you off guard.” “I know.” I met his gaze, my own fury barely contained. “But she’s challenging my authority in front of the pack. If I refuse her request, I’ll look weak.” Fayne’s jaw tightened. “So, you’re going?” “Yes.” “I’ll go with you.” His words were iron-clad. “No.” I shook my head, my voice firm. “If she sees me bring you, she’ll think I’m too afraid to face her on my own. This is a test, Fayne. And I’m going to pass it.” His expression twisted with frustration, but he didn’t argue. Melissa, however, looked ready to lau
The THORN LUNA Chapter One Hundred and Thirty
Emily's POV Fayne remained by my side, his loyalty unwavering. Or so it seemed. But as the days crept by, I couldn’t ignore the way his eyes lingered on me, as if searching for something beyond my words. His fever had broken, but something else had shifted in him, something I couldn’t quite grasp. One afternoon, I found him in the training grounds, slashing through wooden dummies with a ferocity that bordered on madness. Sweat slicked his skin, his breaths ragged. “Fayne,” I called out, my voice slicing through the air. He stilled, knife held loosely in his hand, eyes glazed over with whatever war raged in his mind. “Emily.” His voice was hoarse. “I was just... preparing.” “Preparing for what?” I stepped closer, my gaze sweeping over the wreckage of splintered wood. “For whatever comes.” His gaze flicked to me, something wild and desperate gleaming in his eyes. “You’re surrounded by enemies, Emily. Rosie. The pack members who doubt you. They’ll all come for you eventually
The THORN LUNA Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Nine
Emily’s POVThe pack house was buzzing with urgency as Melissa rallied the warriors. Shadows danced across the walls, their movements feverish and uncertain. But I couldn’t afford to be uncertain. Fayne walked beside me, his presence a steady anchor despite the chaos. His loyalty was unwavering, but it only fueled my resolve. I couldn’t let him down. I couldn’t let anyone down. When I reached the front gates, I saw her. Alpha Rosie, standing tall and formidable, flanked by her warriors. Their eyes gleamed with challenge, a restless energy crackling through the air. I stepped forward, head held high, my voice cold and unyielding. “Alpha Rosie. You’ve returned sooner than expected.” Her gaze swept over me, a cruel smile twitching at her lips. “I wasn’t satisfied with our last conversation. So I’ve come for answers.” “Answers?” I folded my arms over my chest. “I told you the truth. Jacob is dead. It’s time you accept that and move on.” Her eyes narrowed. “Move on? You think I
The THORN LUNA Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Eight
Emily’s POV We walked back in silence, the forest thick with the crisp bite of morning air. Fayne’s fingers never left mine, his grip steady, as if he feared I might slip away if he loosened it. Maybe he was right. Maybe I was still clinging to that old version of myself—untouchable, unbreakable. But his warmth seeped into me, a promise I hadn’t realized I’d been craving. Melissa was waiting at the pack house entrance, her brows drawn tight with worry. When she saw us approaching, her expression melted into relief. “Thank the stars.” She rushed over, eyes darting between us. “I was about to send a search party.” “I’m fine,” I said, my voice stronger than I felt. “Fayne’s fine. We’re…” I glanced at him, hesitating. “…we’re good.” His smile was small but genuine, a flicker of something unspoken passing between us. Melissa’s gaze narrowed, suspicion creeping in. “You sure you’re okay, Fayne? You look pale.” “I’m alright,” he replied, though I could see the fatigue etched i
The THORN LUNA Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Seven
Emily’s POVI couldn’t sleep that night. Fayne’s words echoed in my mind, tearing apart the carefully built walls I’d spent so long reinforcing. *You can’t keep pushing me away.* But I had to. I had to protect myself. To maintain control. Love was a weakness I couldn’t afford. And yet, my chest ached from the void his absence left behind. When dawn’s light spilled through the curtains, I forced myself to rise. There was work to be done. The pack to lead. The illusion of control to maintain. But as I walked through the corridors, I couldn’t ignore the way the pack members avoided my gaze. Whispers lingered on their tongues, doubt festering like an infection. They saw the tension between Fayne and me, the cracks in my authority. I wouldn’t let them see me falter. Not now. Not ever. Melissa found me in the dining hall, her face pale but composed. “Emily, we need to talk.” “What is it?” I snapped, my nerves frayed from a night of sleepless torment. “It’s Fayne.” She hesi
