CHAPTER 51 : " The Mark of Power

The Lunar Queen's Redemption /Ruby

The moon hung blood-red above the shattered castle, its glow casting an eerie shimmer across the palace walls. Everything that had once been Selene’s was now Nyra’s. But Nyra had never felt more like a stranger in her own kingdom.She stood before the cracked mirror in her private chamber, staring at the strange mark blooming across her chest—an intricate sigil formed of interwoven thorns and flame. It pulsed with heat, rhythmic as a second heartbeat. Her fingers brushed against it, and the pain that surged through her spine was blinding.“Happy twenty-first,” she muttered under her breath.The wind howled outside the balcony doors, rattling them with restless fury. Nyra ignored it. Her mind was still tangled in the fragments of her dreams—visions soaked in blood, ash, and a voice that kept repeating the same word.Queen.A knock came at the door. Not a servant’s knock—too quiet for that. Too hesitant. Nyra turned.“Enter,” she said.The door creaked open. A man stood at the threshold,

CHAPTER 52: " Blood of a Goddess "

The Lunar Queen's Redemption /Ruby

The first light of dawn filtered through the shattered stained-glass windows of the Grand Banquet Hall, painting the once‑opulent chamber in fractured hues of ruby and gold. Long before the sun’s rays reached the highest towers of the Eternal Palace, Nyra Duskbane stirred on the cold marble floor, her silk gown torn and stained with blood. Every muscle in her body ached, her head throbbed, and her chest burned with the unrelenting pulse of the mark that had appeared on her skin the night before.Slowly, she rose to her feet, clutching the edge of a fallen table for support. Plates and goblets lay scattered among spilled wine and remnants of last night’s feast. Velvet tapestries, shredded by claws and flame, fluttered in the morning breeze that seeped through the broken windows. Candles, long since guttered, left behind pools of black wax on the floor.A groan escaped Nyra’s lips as she straightened. Her silver hair, tousled and damp, fell in tangled waves around her face. She pressed

CHAPTER 53 : " The Forbidden Prince "

The Lunar Queen's Redemption /Ruby

The council chamber smelled of incense and polished stone. Morning light filtered through high, arched windows, illuminating tapestries depicting the Moonborn’s victories. Nyra Duskbane entered on her mother’s arm, her dark gown of ash-gray silk trailing behind her. The mark on her chest throbbed beneath the fabric, a reminder of the power she barely controlled.She scanned the assembled Alphas, Betas, and elder advisors. At the far end, Selene presided from the high dais, Ryker at her side in human form—his gaze sharp as a blade. The atmosphere crackled with unease. Rumors of rebellion, demon pacts, and Nyra’s recent trial in the Temple of Ash had left the realm divided.Selene’s silver eyes met Nyra’s. She inclined her head. A signal: prove yourself today.Nyra drew a steadying breath. She had prepared her report on border skirmishes with the Crimson Claw pack; her sister’s old allies, but her thoughts churned elsewhere. Today she would meet the rogue prince.A hush fell as the cham

CHAPTER 54: " The Moonborn Trial "

The Lunar Queen's Redemption /Ruby

The Temple of Ash rose from the blackened cliffs like a crown of obsidian, its spires etched with runes that pulsed with faint red light. Nyra Duskbane stood before its grand entrance, the mark on her chest throbbing like a war drum. Two sentries in ash‑streaked robes flanked the carved doors, their eyes hidden beneath cowl’s shadow.Beside her, Ryker adjusted his cloak, face set in grim determination. Selene stood opposite, regal and proud, yet her silver eyes betrayed worry. “Remember,” Selene whispered, “this trial is as much about control as it is about power.”Nyra nodded. “I understand.”With a creak, the great doors swung open. Inside, the air was stifling; warm as a forge. Elder priestesses formed a semicircle around a dais of scorched marble. The High Priestess, robes embroidered in molten gold, raised a hand.“Daughter of Ash,” she intoned, voice echoing, “to prove your worth, you must conquer the Trial of Fire.”A chamber beyond opened to reveal a ring of living flame; tall

CHAPTER 55 : " Lust of the Damned "

The Lunar Queen's Redemption /Ruby

The corridor outside the Crimson Court’s private chambers was thick with tension. Torches flickered against blood-red walls, their flames dancing like hungry eyes. Nyra Duskbane paused, her hand resting on the hilt of her moonsteel dagger, heart pounding. Moments ago, she had stormed in here, intent on demanding answers from Prince Kaelan of the Raven Court. Now, she found herself inches from the door, every nerve on fire.Inside, she could hear voices: Kaelan’s low drawl, and her own retort; sharp, furious. She took a steadying breath and pushed the door open.Kaelan stood by a high window, moonlight casting his silhouette in silver. His cloak of midnight leather hung open, revealing the lean lines of his chest. His dark hair was mussed, and his golden eyes blazed with something she couldn’t name: challenge, desire, defiance.“You shouldn’t have followed me here,” he said without turning.Nyra stepped inside, closing the door. “You kidnapped me,” she replied, voice steady despite the
