Moonborn Heir Novel Chapter 35 – Kael pulls back slightly, his hands still resting on my shoulders as I look up at him, overwhelmed by everything he’s just done.
The tight knot of fear and helplessness that had been suffocating me has loosened, replaced by a flood of gratitude and something deeper—something I’m not ready to name.“Thank you,” I whisper, my voice trembling. “I don’t even know how to repay you for this, Kael.
You’ve done more for me and my family in one moment than I could ever hope to deserve.” Kael’s lips twitch into a faint smile, his gaze steady and unyielding. “Repay me?” he says, his voice teasing but laced with warmth. “I think I have an idea.”
I blink up at him, my heart skipping. “Anything,” I say, the word slipping out before I can think. “Whatever you need.” He leans back slightly, his eyes glinting with something unreadable. “You can start your new job today.”
I nod quickly, wanting to prove myself useful, but my stomach sinks just a bit. My eyes dart to the broom leaning against the wall nearby. I step toward it, reaching out and wrapping my fingers around the worn wooden handle. “Of course,” I say quietly, my heart heavy. “I’ll get started right away.”
A deep laugh rumbles from Kael’s chest, catching me off guard. I glance back at him, confused, as he shakes his head, his expression a mix of amusement and disbelief. “Talia,” he says, stepping toward me and gently taking the broom from my hands. “That’s not what I meant.”
My brow furrows, heat rushing to my cheeks. “Then… what do you mean?” Kael sets the broom aside and places his hands on my shoulders again, his gaze locking onto mine with an intensity that sends a shiver down my spine.
“Your new post,” he says slowly, his voice rich with purpose, “is Chief Adviser to the Alpha of Shadow Ridge.” I freeze, the words hitting me like a bolt of lightning. “What?” I manage, barely able to breathe. “I don’t want you sweeping floors, Talia,” Kael continues, his tone firm and serious.
“I want you by my side, guiding me, helping me build something greater than this pack has ever seen.” My heart pounds, my mind spinning as I try to grasp what he’s saying. “But… why me? I’m not—”“You are,” he cuts me off, his hands tightening on my shoulders. “You are exactly what I need.
Your strength, your insight, your resilience—I’ve seen it all, Talia. I saw it the moment I looked into your eyes at the Shadow Moon Ball. And I know with you by my side, I can’t fail.” I shake my head slightly, overwhelmed. “Kael, I don’t know the first thing about being a Chief Adviser. I don’t even know what I’d—”
“You’ll learn,” he says confidently, his gaze unwavering. “And I’ll teach you. Together, we’ll do something no one has ever done.”
I swallow hard, unable to look away from him. “What… what is it you want to do?” Kael’s eyes gleam with determination, his jaw set. “It’s time to end the division among the packs. The War of Fangs fractured us, tore apart alliances that had stood for centuries. We’ve been weakened by mistrust and rivalry, and it’s left us vulnerable to outside threats.” He steps back, his hands falling to his sides as he straightens, his Alpha aura radiating power.
“I want to unite the packs,” he declares, his voice steady and commanding. “All of them. Shadow Ridge will lead, and together we’ll forge a single, united pack that no one will dare challenge.” My breath catches, the enormity of his vision sinking in. “You want to… unite all the packs? Eve the rival packs?”
Kael nods, his expression unwavering. “Yes. And I want you to help me do it. You’ll be the architect of our masterplan, the Luna who stands beside me as we reshape history. With you by my side, Talia, I know it’s possible.”
The weight of his words presses down on me, equal parts terrifying and exhilarating. Me? A lowly maid turned Luna, now tasked with uniting warring packs? It feels impossible, a dream I’ll wake from at any moment. But Kael’s belief in me is unwavering, his confidence a steady flame that refuses to be extinguished. “I… I don’t know if I can,” I admit, my voice barely a whisper.
Kael steps closer again, his hands brushing mine as he leans in. “You can,” he says softly, his tone filled with certainty. “You already have everything you need. You just don’t see it yet. But I do. And I’ll show you.” My chest tightens, a mix of fear and hope swirling inside me. I nod slowly, unable to speak, and
Kael’s lips curve into a small, knowing smile. “This is only the beginning, Talia,” he says, his voice low and steady. “Together, we’ll change everything.”
My head is still spinning as I try to process Kael’s words. Chief Adviser to the Alpha of Shadow Ridge. Architect of his masterplan. Luna to the united packs. The sheer weight of it threatens to crush me, but Kael’s unwavering confidence keeps me tethered, his belief in me stronger thanmy doubts.
I swallow hard and force myself to meet his gaze. “What do you want me to do first?” I ask, my voice quiet but steady. “As Chief Adviser.”
Kael’s expression sharpens, his focus narrowing like a wolf on the hunt. “The first step is securing the right leadership,” he says. “I need to appoint a Primary Beta—someone who will stand as my second-in-command, someone I can trust implicitly.” I nod, listening carefully as he continues.
“This wolf must be hard-working, humble, and fiercely loyal,” Kael explains, pacing slightly as he speaks. “Someone who respects authority but isn’t afraid to speak their mind when it matters. A warrior strong enough to defend our pack, but wise enough to lead with honor. It’s a rare combination.”
My heart skips a beat, and I can’t help the small smile that tugs at my lips. “I know the perfect wolf,” I say, my voice brimming with certainty.
Kael stops, turning to face me fully. His brow arches, curiosity flickering in his eyes. “Oh?” “Yes,” I say confidently. “Ronan Hale.” Kael tilts his head, considering my words. “Your brother?”
