All Chapters of Luna's Fall The Queen's Rise: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ryan pushed off from the wall, his fingers brushing the hilt of the dagger at his waist. He looked at Rowan, his Alpha, with a mixture of wariness and respect. “And if she’s just a myth, just a child with no greater power than any other?”Rowan’s lips curled into a cold smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Then we will make sure she never becomes anything more than that. We crush the possibility before it even has the chance to take root. No one—not even the gods themselves—will take what’s mine, I am the only leader of this park who is fighting to be the king, how could a mere Luna rise up as the queen.”For a moment, the two men stood in silence, the weight of Rowan’s words settling between them like a heavy cloak. The room seemed to grow colder, the shadows more oppressive, as the Alpha’s command hung in the air.Ryan’s voice was measured, cautious, but tinged with a quiet fury. “What if those children you asked me to change their destiny are not who you think they are… What if th

~Eight PM~When they arrived at the darkened castle, the heavy gates creaked open before them. Cora was thrown into the stone corridors with little care, and she was forced to walk, her arms bound behind her, the rough ropes digging into her skin.“I told you this wasn’t going to end well for you,” Ryan said in a low voice, his footsteps echoing behind her as he led her through the labyrinthine halls. His words dripped with contempt, but beneath it, she could hear the uncertainty. He was scared. He was scared of the girl, the prophecy, the power she held. He had no idea what kind of danger he had just invited into his life.---Rowan’s chamber was dark, the air thick with the weight of power. His back was turned as he stared into the fire, the flickering light casting grotesque shadows across his sharp features. The fire reflected in his cold eyes, but it was nothing compared to the storm that raged beneath the surface.Ryan led Cora into the room, shoving her to the ground at Rowan’s

~NINE PM~Cora stayed rooted to the spot, her chest heaving as the door slammed shut again. She could hear him walking away, his footsteps heavy and measured.And then—silence.The silence was worse than anything. The pain, the fear, the tension—they were nothing compared to this stillness. She was alone. Trapped. Helpless.Her body ached. She could feel the bruises already blooming along her neck where Ryan had gripped her, but her heart was heavier. He couldn’t know. No one could. Not Seraphina.She heard them, the cries of those who had come before her, those who had been broken. Those who had surrendered to Rowan’s will. She wouldn’t be one of them. She couldn’t. Not for Seraphina. Not for the Queen.~In the main large chamber of his pack, Rowan sat at his massive desk, his fingers steepled before him as he watched the fire crackle in the hearth. His thoughts were dark, his mind never still. He had been the Alpha for years, building an empire from nothing, solidifying his place a

~Serphina's Pov~And then, like a cold wind sweeping over her, the horror of the realization hit her with full force. Rowan. Ryan. They had done this. It had to be them.Seraphina’s breath came in slow and short gasps as her eyes darted around the clearing, her heart pounding in her chest.The pieces of the puzzle began to click together in her mind, and each one filled her with an ever-deepening rage.She knew Rowan had always been after her, ever since she was a child but she could never imagined that they got hold of her sister. She had known that. But he had taken it further. Far further than she could have ever imagined. He had killed Cora. Killed her sister, the one person she loved above all else.Seraphina’s fingers clenched into fists, her nails biting into her palms as she fought to contain the fury that surged within her. No one could do this. No one could hurt Cora like this and get away with it. Not Rowan. Nor his accomplices.She would make them pay. She would make them f

~Seraphina’s feet barely touched the ground as she moved through the trees, her body stiff with exhaustion, her heart heavier than it had ever been. The world around her seemed distant, muted, as though everything had shifted into another plane, one where only the pain of her loss existed. Cora’s death still felt like a cruel joke she couldn’t escape from, a nightmare that played on repeat in her mind.But there was no time for grief now.Her hands, covered in the damp, sticky earth from the grave she had dug with trembling hands, clenched into fists. She had buried Cora. She had done it herself because no one else had cared enough to help her. Not even Rowan. Not even the pack. She could still hear his voice ringing in her ears from that day, the words cold and dismissive, an accusation that cut deeper than any blade.“You’re weak, Sera. You’ll never be good enough for the pack or the world. You couldn’t even protect your sister,so how are you going to fight on her behalf”The words
