Tamara’s POV

The courtroom buzzed with tension, the air thick as Lord Jarek droned on, hammering away at Dante’s reputation.

his accusations were sharp and too deliberate, designed to paint Dante as a fucking dictator. My blood boiled with every word he spoke.

I couldn’t sit still any longer. As Jarek raised his voice, calling Dante a threat to peace, I shot out of my chair.

“I object!”

The room fell silent. Every head turned to me, and I could feel the weight of a hundred shocked gazes. Even Dante looked stunned as I stepped forward and planted myself between him and the Elders.

“Tamara,” Dante hissed softly, his voice low with warning. But I ignored him.

“This entire trial is a farce,” I said, my voice firm as I looked directly at Lord Jarek. “You’re not here to seek justice. You’re here to destroy Alpha Dante’s reputation, and everyone in this room knows it.”

The collective gasp from the council echoed like thunder.

“Outrageous!” Lord Jarek snapped, his face reddening. “You dare a

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    To trust again

    Ivonne's povFor a while, Hector still didn’t move after Lincoln left. The door had clicked shut, leaving a silence that weighed heavy in the room. My chest rose and fell too quickly, as if the air itself was too thick to breathe. And then Hector moved.Closer. And closer, until he was Too close.I instinctively stepped back, my spine brushing against the edge of the nightstand. “What are you doing?” I asked, trying for a sharp tone but hearing the wobble in my own voice.“My goddamn duty,” he said simply, like that explained everything.I was about to ask again but His hand shot out with strong fingers catching my wrist before I could retreat further. He tugged me toward him, and I stumbled forward, right into the heat of his chest.My breath caught.He scanned me with those sharp eyes of his. They swept over my face, down my arms before lingering too long at my shoulders.His other hand lifted, firm and unyielding as he tilted my chin so he could look even closer. “Are you hurt? Any

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Her Manor

    Ivonne’s povThe door slammed open so hard it banged against the wall, making me jolt. My heart skipped and my breath caught in my throat as I saw Hector filling the doorway, looking tall and furious with his eyes sharp as blades.He looked like a storm bottled up in human form, and when his gaze landed on me—no, on me frozen in Lincolns arms, his sneer curled up like it was carved from pure disdain.“Get your fucking hands off of her, Lincoln.” His voice was low, dangerous, like the warning growl of a predator about to pounce.Lincoln didn’t even flinch. His hand was still in my hair, his arm still around me from when I’d woken up sobbing, and his jaw tightened with defiance. “This isn’t your business, Hector. You don’t get to barge in and order me around. Besides, she’s not complaining.”What?! I gaped up at him and suddenly realized that I was actually still in his arms, but it was out of shock, and not the desire to stay.The air between I and him suddenly felt too thick and suff

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Awake

    Ivonne’s POVMy eyes darted to Lincoln, To Alison then To the faces I barely recognized. Could it have been one of them?Would any of them try again?I shivered violently.“Easy,” Hector’s voice pulled me back. He crouched in front of me, his sharp eyes scanning me like a hawk. “Stay with me, Ivonne. You’re safe now.”I shook my head weakly. “I… can’t—” My voice cracked as another cough tore through me.“You can,” he snapped, but his voice softened at the edges. His hand hovered at my shoulder. “Stay awake. We don’t know if the smoke was poisoned so Don’t you dare close your eyes.”I tried to listen but my body had other plans. The smoke, the panic, the exhaustion—it was all too much and my vision blurred.. then the world tilted.“Ivonne!” His voice sounded far away now, even though he was right in front of me.My last thought before darkness claimed me was bitter, mocking.And once again… he’ll use this against me. Because I didn’t listen to him. Because I refused to move rooms like

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Victim again

    Ivonne’s POVThe moment the smoke started pouring into the room, I knew I was in serious trouble.Thick, acrid fumes clawed down my throat, making my chest seize. I coughed violently, stumbling back, my hand flying to cover my nose and mouth. But It did nothing.The smoke was already everywhere, swallowing the air, burning my lungs and stinging my eyes until tears streamed down my face.I could barely even see two feet in front of me. The whole world was gray, swirling and suffocating.“Goddess… no—” My voice cracked into a cough. I staggered, bumping into the table, knocking over the wine bottle Lincoln had left. It shattered against the floor, mingling with the acrid haze.I felt blind. Absolutely blind. My hands stretched in front of me, grasping at nothing, trying to feel my way toward the door but My heart pounded so hard it hurt.I was beginning to think that their intention was to choke me to death but then suddenly— Strong hands clamped around my arm and yanked me harshly.I s

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    The attempt

    Ivonne’s POVI inhaled slowly, shoved the phone aside, and forced my voice into the iciest tone I could manage.“What do you want, Lincoln?”The door cracked open and, just as I suspected, he stood there. His expression was calm—too calm. That in itself was enough to make me wary. He wasn’t calm by nature. Lincoln thrived on storms, on anger, on fire. But now, he stepped in as though he were just an old friend dropping by.“I brought wine,” he said, holding up a dark bottle. In his other hand, a stack of papers. “And these. Peace offerings.”I narrowed my eyes. “I don’t drink with enemies.”He chuckled. “Enemies? That’s what we are now? No, Ivonne. I think we’re far too entangled for that word.”I crossed my arms, doing everything I could to keep from throwing him right back into the hallway. “Say what you came to say and leave.”“I came,” he said, stepping inside without permission, “to call a truce.”That stopped me cold.“A truce?” I repeated, my voice dripping disbelief.“Yes.” He

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Mother in law

    Ivonne’s POVThe first thing I did when I finally shut my bedroom door behind me was collapse onto the bed and grab my phone. My head was still hurting from everything—Archibald’s will, Hector’s furious face, Alison screaming like a banshee, Lincoln trying to lunge at me. It all replayed in my head like some twisted drama.There was only one person I could think of calling. Lady Elizabeth.I scrolled until I found her number, my thumb hovering. She had been my only anchor before I returned here. She was the one who comforted me when I thought I was falling apart. She was the one I had clung to like a mother I had lost.When the line rang and she picked up, her warm, steady voice immediately made my chest tighten.“Ivonne?” she said. “Is everything alright? You sound… shaken.”I laughed bitterly. “Shaken is an understatement. Elizabeth, you won’t believe what just happened.”“Try me.”So I switched to video call and told her. Everything. I spilled the entire insane story, pacing back a
