Tamara's POV

I just stared at Dante, frozen, with my heart pounding in my chest. I wasn’t sure I’d heard him right.

“What... what did you just say?”My voice came out shaky and barely louder than a whisper but he heard me.

I watched Dante look hesitant, his jaw tightening as if he really didn’t want to repeat the words. But after a moment, he exhaled deeply, locking his eyes with mine. “Tamara... Your pack members were attacked last night. Some of them were killed.”

I froze, the words sinking in like ice water. “What? No...” I gasped, feeling my body go cold with disbelief. My mind immediately raced to my loved ones, my friends, everyone I had left behind. “Who?” I stammered. “Who was attacked? Who—who died?”

Dante reached for his phone, pulling up the article before handing it to me. I snatched it quickly, scanning the screen with trembling hands. My breath hitched in my throat as I read the headline: Unknown Invaders Attack Winter-Pack, Several Casualties Reported. The article didn

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Ivonne is breaking

    Ivonne's POV"No, I won't do your laundry Alison, and fuck you."Alison looked like I punched her. "What?" I couldn’t help it at that moment as an uncontrollable laugh burst out of me. It wasn’t soft or bitter; it was loud, full, and almost hysterical. My stomach hurt from how hard I laughed. Alison blinked, her face twisting in confusion. “What the hell is wrong with you?” she asked, pulling slightly away from Lincoln. “Did you finally snap?” I wiped tears from my eyes, still chuckling. “Oh, Alison, you actually thought you could break me, didn’t you? You really expected me to stand here looking all pitiful and begging like some desperate beggar?” Her confusion deepened. She glanced at Lincoln as if he could explain my behavior, but he only stared at me with narrowed eyes, his jaw tense. “You’re not making sense,” Alison snapped. “You should be worried. You should be thinking about how you’re going to pay me back. Or maybe start polishing your hands for house chores, since you’l

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Ivonne's time

    Ivonne’s POVI pressed the phone tighter against my ear, bracing myself. “Mr. Archibald... Grandpa sorry,” I said carefully. “I… I didn’t expect your call.”His voice on the other end was smooth but laced with a cold distance, like every word had been weighed before it left his lips. “No. I imagine you didn’t.”Silence stretched, heavy, until he spoke again. “Your mother. She’s gone.”I froze in the middle of the hallway. My grip on the phone trembled. “H-how do you know…?”“I make it my business to know most of what happens under this family’s roof—and beyond it,” he said flatly. “News travels quickly to me, Ivonne. Especially when it concerns my grandson’s wife.”The bluntness of it all knocked the breath from my chest. “Then… then you know she—”“Yes.” His tone softened, barely. “And I’m… sorry. I mean that. A mother’s death is never easy, no matter the circumstances.”For a moment, I didn’t know what to say. I expected cruelty, judgment, maybe even satisfaction. But pity? An apolo

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Ivonne's reasoning

    Ivonne's POV I took a deep breath to calm myself because there was a sharp, ugly twist under my ribs that made my heart hurt as I told my story. “After my miscarriage and the sudden appearance of Alison, everything turned. Lincoln was colder. He picked unnecessary fights at dinner and then started giving expensive gifts to Alison right in front of me. They started constantly laughing at me too. They would mock, demean and laugh at me, especially when I asked for help with Mom’s bills. Just yesterday, Alison tore up the first cheque I got right in front of me and Lincoln refused to sign another. They left us waiting until it was too late.” Dr. Charles’s hand hovered above the desk as if he wanted to reach for mine and thought better of it. “This… none of this sounds fair but I still think because your mother loved you so fiercely, She would not have wanted you to be consumed by hate.” “Well She’s gone now!,” I snapped, and the word didn’t have the softness I thought it wo

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Her story

    Ivonne's POVI signed the final forms with hands that wouldn’t stop shaking. The paperwork for my mother's cremation felt surreal. It felt like some official cold goodbye stamped to the worst day of my life. Doctor Charles suggested that I wait a few days for a proper funeral but I knew that no one would attend her service so I insisted they move it up immediately. I wanted her gone from the hospital, reduced to something I could carry in my arms, something I could keep close and speak to when the world felt too loud. Ashes didn’t need hospital bills or permission slips. Ashes wouldn’t be humiliated by Lincoln or laughed at by Alison. Her ashes were the only thing that would be mine to care for and love.Dr. Charles walked beside me as they prepared the body. He was gentle, quiet, the type of person who had been around sickness so long he knew how to carry other people’s grief without crushing it. When there was nothing left to do in the chapel, he asked if I would come to his of

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Ivonne's pain

    Ivonne’s POV I clutched the cheque in my hands so tightly that the edges were crumpling. I had finally got the money! I could finally save my mom! I almost couldn't believe it.My heart pounded with hope and desperation all at once. Alison’s handwriting was scrawled across the paper, but I didn’t care. I didn’t care that it came from her, or that her smug little smile when she handed it to me made me want to claw her face off.I also didn't care that she was probably going to try her best to make me pay with my life for this. All that mattered was this cheque, this little piece of paper was my mother’s chance to live. “Thank you, Goddess… thank you…” I whispered under my breath as I ran down the hospital corridors. My heels clacked loudly against the floor, echoing like a heartbeat. “Please let me be on time. Please let her live. Please don’t take her from me yet.” By the time I reached the reception, I was panting, clutching my side. “I—I have it!” I yelled, almost shoving t

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Alison's cheque

    Ivonne’s POV I rushed to take a shower and threw on the first dress I could find, not even bothering to fix my damp hair. My hands shook as I buttoned it crookedly, but I didn’t care. My chest felt tight with too much panic. Every second wasted was another second my mother was lying in that hospital bed, maybe slipping further away. I rushed down the hall, my steps uneven, my pulse drumming in my ears. All I could think about was the cheque. If I could just get another cheque from Lincoln, then I could run straight to the hospital. That was all that mattered. But when I reached the living room, my body froze. Lincoln was there. He was already awake and already dressed, sitting casually on the sofa with Alison curled up against his side like she belonged there. His arm was draped around her shoulders, his fingers idly brushing through her hair while she giggled at something on his phone screen. The sight made me sick. For a moment, I almost turned back. Almost swallowed t
