When The Moon Hides Her Crown novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93 Rage, Reined In By Her

RONAN

I climbed back up the jagged cliff edge, boots soaking, hair dripping, muscles aching from the violent current: but all of it dulled under the weight of the voices I overheard near the fire.

A group of Alphas, soaked and defeated, were grumbling amongst themselves, their shirts half–dried as they huddled for

warmth.

“Can you believe Ryker? one of them scoffed.

“Yeah, the guy just appeared with that damn pearl ring. Gave it to Grace like it was nothing”

“And then that Seth guy? He just dragged her off. Like he owned her or something.”

My steps slowed.

Seraphina took Grace away?

My brows drew together as I stared into the firelight, the unease in my chest rising sharply. She would never have shown. much interest in Grace like other male wolves here.

I rubbed a hand down my wet jaw, droplets flicking off. Something wasn’t right.

I turned, intending to head toward the path away from the cliffs, where the trees thickened and the crowds thinned when I saw her.

Grace.

She was walking slowly, her dress slightly ruffled, heels dragging more than clicking. The brightness in her usually luminous. eyes had dimmed to something quieter. More guarded.

But when her gaze found mine, her smile instantly bloomed. Perfectly practiced.

I stepped forward.

“Why are you coming from there?” I asked, but my eyes flicked toward the trail behind her, searching.

For Seraphina. Had not both gone that way together?

Grace snapped her fingers in front of my face, a playful smirk tugging at her lips. “I’m here,” she drawled, “and waiting. Should I feel offended that you’re more interested in the shadows than me?”

I didn’t answer.

Instead, I reached into the pocket of my drenched pants and pulled out a small, broken string of white pearls, a delicate anklet, a piece of it I’d found lodged in a rock crevice deep below the waves.

Her eyes widened, lighting up with genuine emotion for the first time since she arrived

“My anklet.” she sighed, stepping closer. “You found it?”

I wordlessly held it out to her even though it seemed broken to me. She took it gently, her fingers brushing mine as if it were made of glass

“This means a lot to me,” she whispered, cradling the broken pearls in both hands. “It returned to me again.” Her voice Trailed off but the paused before she would say something that she did not want me to hear. She looked up with something soft in her eyes. “Thank you”

Iremained silent and just nodded

Then abe tilted her head, soulingg again, this tune with muschief. “Sauce you already have a lover, I won’t be bold enough to ask you to tie this around my ankle she teased, “but you still went diving into the sea to find it. Don’t tell me you’ve suddenly fallen for me. Alpha Roman I mught just swODEL”

I chuckled faintly, the corner of my mouth twitching. “Don’t flatter yourself.

Her laughter rang out, rich and amused. “So then?” she asked, arching a brow. “If you didn’t do it for love, what do you want?

Direct. Confident. She didn’t beat around the bush.

I respected that.

“I want information,” I said simply

Grace blinked, taken aback for the briefest second before curiosity flickered in her gaze. “Information?”

I nodded. “Earlier, you said something about Ryker. That you’ve seen him before.”

A shadow passed through her expression. The amusement faded. “Right…”

I stepped closer. “Where?”

“I’m not sure.” she admitted after a beat. “It wasn’t personal, I would’ve remembered. But that face she clicked her tongue. “Too unforgettable to ignore. He has the kind of handsomeness that bites.”

“Nevermind that aura,” she added. “He’s not just strong, he’s got dangerous blood. The kind that makes even proud Alphas stand a little straighter when he enters the room

“No” she paused, eyes narrowing slightly. “Which means he’s either very secretive…or very protected. His pack must be one of the ancient ones hidden, rich, and powerful enough to avoid gossip.”

“You want to know who he is,” she said slowly, piecing it together. “Because you don’t trust him.”

Istilled Behind that playful tone…this girl was sharp. Sharper than anyone gave her credit for.

“Seth has nothing to do with it,” I muttered and stepped past her.

“Oh, really?” she casually said “Then I suggest you don’t go looking for him. You might interrupt something.”

Her words made my steps halt.

Star only smiled and walked away pearls clutched tightly in her hand.

– Pearls

My feet froze in place at seeing Asher and Seraphina together and so close. My mind went blank. What were they doing: For how long? Why? My wolf growled aggressively and furiously, fighting for control over my sanity that was close to snapping

But then…

Seraphina’s amber eyes locked on mine.

At that moment, the storm inside me stopped.

“I am not into men. Alpha Asher” she softly replied. She pulled slightly away from Asher, her voice steady. “But I’m definitely into the wild, but restrained kind.”

She walked past Asher, every step measured, and as she passed me she looked up.

“Possessive, but thoughtful she added, her gaze unwavering. “Crazy and jealous..but respectful enough to trust me.”

The jealousy in my chest turned to smoke. My fingers brushed against hers as she moved by me–light as air, but enough to ground me.

A small smule curved my lips.
