I lie in bed and toss again. No woman named Sarah is waiting to be my Luna. How easy that lie flowed from my lips, so well I almost believed it. Did Emerald believe it? Seems so. I’ve changed positions so many times, the sheets are tangled around my legs like chains. Chains I don’t even bother trying to shake off anymore. Sleep won’t come. Not tonight. That mutinous hardon is back again, pummeling at the fly of my pants.

I turn my face into the pillow and groan softly. You idiot. Why did you lie to her? Sarah. What kind of name was that, even? The only Sarah I know was a fawning secretary who once worked in the King’s court, an efficient doll I almost took off the king’s hand but gave up on when I heard she was already fated to a fellow alpha. That flame had burned for a whole week but soon waned to a flicker that gave out in work. After that, my heart had reverted to my duties. I’d see Emerald and bemoan my loss of her to my brother on account of the vast age difference.

  • Blood Ties And Moonlit Lies   Chapter 40

    According to Kresten, he quickly sent out his men when he found out what had happened at the jail office. His men had scoured the woods and found this man who looked like he had survived a kerfuffle with a momma bear. They dragged him back, questioned him about the escaped assassins and he had mouthed the words, “Witch, White one.” Kresten had then brought him back here and locked him in one of the rooms in the armoury. It is a fairly large building with a parapet on which is mounted a guard post. The man is slouched in a chair like his bones are trying to fold in on themselves, clothes tattered, eyes wide like a trapped animal. He smells like burnt sage and fear. He keeps looking around like he expects someone to jump out from the shadows and drag him back to whatever hellhole he just crawled out of."Where did you come from?" I ask him, folding my arms. “Who sent you?”He doesn’t answer immediately. His eyes flick from me to Kresten, then down to the table between us. When he fina

  • Blood Ties And Moonlit Lies   Chapter 39

    A door swings with a loud sigh, a murmur of voices and my eyes that were going to sleep slowly flutter open. Eli? Is he up and walking around again? Is he expecting trouble, like it happened at his place days ago? I raise my head slowly until I can see the strobe of light in the gap under the door. There’s someone in the house, and it’s not Eli. There are two voices, the unfamiliar one is louder, tentative. It can’t be Myron, can it? I strain my ears trying to catch the words but the yawns again and the voices are gone. My racing heart settles and I lay back on the pillow. The mansion is a fortress, guarded by soldier lycans that turn to rabid butchers, not to mention the guards armed with weapons with silver rounds. We are safe here, not even Myron would dare make a move on me here. That bastard. My heart begins to race again, bitterness taken over. I occupy myself with the imagination that Sarah has sneaked in, called on the phone by Eli, and my face bristles with heat. Whatever

    But when we get back to the mansion curiosity takes hold of me again. A desire strong to the point of ache takes hold of me and I want to know more about this mystery woman who has Eli's heart. I want to let it go but everything feels too quiet. Too big. It's too cold in the house and I don't want to go to bed alone or just yet. Some small talk would be cool, uplifting, even. Then just now, I mull over the possibility that soon, Eli would be totally out of reach. If there's a woman out there he loves, soon, she'll move in here and I'll be required to leave. This new thought suddenly causes my steps to falter and I slow down in my pursuit to my room. A sinking feeling assaults my stomach. It feels as though I'm going to be sick. I can’t tell what’s making me nauseous—the babies growing inside me or the slow, gnawing ache Eli left with his quiet confession. There’s someone. ‘Someone I love very much,’ he said. The words keep circling in my head like vultures over something half-dead.I

  • Blood Ties And Moonlit Lies   Chapter 36

    The car is silent as Eli drives, his face set like stone, hands steady on the wheel. But I can tell he’s thinking deeply. The kind of thinking that comes with words too heavy to speak. Oh, I wish he would say something, anything. It will be silence again back at the mansion. Eli gets taciturn at times like this, yet I wonder about him now if this is how he lives most of his days, alone, quiet. Since I've known him, I have never seen him with a woman. Not that I expect he'd tell me about it or introduce her. He probably has someone. Maybe out there in the southern office of his, some beautiful woman who's old enough to be his wife, marked, fated to him. Of course, there's one, isn't there? It has never occurred to me to ask him or Myron. I've only seen Eli as my godfather, that's all. Nothing more, and then my crush. Mine. Mine. Mine. Such a selfish way to view someone old enough to be my dad. I sit curled against the window, watching the road blow past in smudges of light and dark.

  • Blood Ties And Moonlit Lies   Chapter 35

    The sight before me is something out of a nightmare—the guards lying unconscious on the floor, their breathing shallow, uniforms soaked with sweat. One guard is darkened with dampness in the seat of his pants. From the smell, he shat himself. The cell door is ripped off one of its hinges. Bent like a discarded paperclip.The place reeks of something unnatural—like scorched silver and decayed pine.Eli goes forward to check one of the guards, his back arched like he might change any minute. But on his face there is calm composure. He rolls one guard over on his back and his features tightens at the sight of the man's face. But there’s something beneath the surface, a quiet acceptance. Like Eli expected this would happen or knew who was responsible. Like this wasn’t a surprise at all. That’s when the thought hits me like a knife in the gut.I straighten, heart pounding, and blurt out, “Myron said it wasn’t him. He said he didn’t send those men to kill me.”Eli glances at me over his sho
