FAZER LOGINNOVA’S POVI sat in my chambers, staring at the wall with a frustrated sigh, as my mind replayed every interaction I had had with Ronan since we arrived at Moonfall Pack. He had been distant and cold, barely looking at me, barely speaking to me, and treating me like I was a stranger rather than his fiancée. I had tried everything to get his attention, to make him warm up to me, but nothing seemed to work. Every time I tried to get close to him, he pulled away. Every time I tried to start a conversation, he gave me short, clipped answers. It was like I was invisible to him.I thought back to when I first met Ronan. It was at a pack gathering, a grand event hosted by his father. I had heard about him long before I met him—the powerful Alpha of Stormcrest Pack, the most eligible bachelor in the region. Women whispered about him wherever he went, and I had been curious to see if he lived up to the rumors. When I finally saw him across the hall, my breath caught in my throat. He was tall a
MIRA'S POVI was still smiling at Ronan's note, and clutching it to my chest like it was the most precious thing in the world, when a sharp knock on my door pulled me out of my thoughts. I quickly folded the note and tucked it into my pocket, then opened the door to find a maid standing there, her eyes downcast and her voice trembling.“My Lady,” she said quietly, “Claudia is requesting your presence immediately. She said it is urgent. She looks very angry.”I felt my good mood evaporate in an instant. Of course she was. Claudia was probably still fuming about the rumor and looking for someone to blame, and I knew I would be her first target. I took a deep breath and nodded, telling the maid I would be there shortly.I made my way to Claudia's chambers, my steps slow and reluctant. When I walked in, Claudia was pacing back and forth like a caged animal, her face red and her eyes blazing with fury. She stopped when she saw me and pointed a shaking finger at my face.“This is all your f
MIRA’S POVI sat on my bed, still smiling from the chaos I had caused at breakfast. The image of Claudia pacing and ranting like a madwoman, and Declan sitting there with his face red as a tomato, was still fresh in my mind. I had done it. I had actually done it. I had humiliated Declan in front of the entire pack, and nobody suspected a thing. The thought made me want to laugh out loud again.I lay back on my bed and stared at the ceiling, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction. For three years, I had been the quiet, obedient Luna who never caused any trouble. I had let them walk all over me, insult me, and treat me like I was nothing. But not anymore. I was done being invisible. I was done being their doormat. I was done letting them control my life.I thought about all the times Claudia had humiliated me in front of others, all the times Aunt Mae had slapped me or grabbed me by the throat, all the times Declan had looked at me like I was a piece of furniture that he could not wait to
RONAN’S POVI sat at the dining table, with my face carefully neutral as I watched Claudia and Declan spiral into complete and utter panic. The sight of them both losing their minds over a rumor was almost too entertaining to bear, and I kept my expression calm and composed, not wanting to draw any attention to myself. Claudia was pacing back and forth, muttering about damage control and reputation, while Declan sat there with his face as red as a tomato, scrolling through his phone like he expected the rumors to disappear if he glared at them hard enough.I had not said much during breakfast, because I did not want to draw attention to myself, but I had been watching Mira out of the corner of my eye the entire time. She was doing an excellent job of looking innocent, but I could see the tiny smile playing at the corners of her lips every time Claudia let out a frustrated groan. She was enjoying this. And I was enjoying watching her enjoy it.When breakfast finally ended, I excused my
MIRA’S POVI stood in Claudia’s chambers, with my hand pressed against my mouth to stop myself from laughing out loud, because watching Claudia scream into her phone like a chicken with its head cut off was the most entertaining thing I had seen in weeks. Her face was red and her eyes were wide with panic, and she kept pacing back and forth like a caged animal, demanding answers from whoever was on the other end of the line.“What do you mean it is all over the blogs?” Claudia shrieked, her voice high and shrill. “How did this happen? Who started this? Do you have any idea what this will do to our family’s reputation? People are going to laugh at us! They are going to mock us!”I bit my lip so hard I almost drew blood, because I knew exactly who had started it, and the thought of Claudia running around like a headless chicken trying to find the culprit was almost too much for me to bear. I had to look down at the floor to hide the smile that was threatening to spread across my face. T
MIRA’S POVI walked back to my chambers with a lightness in my step that I had not felt in a very long time, with my heart still racing from the events of the night. The danger, the excitement, the near-miss with Nova—it all felt like something out of a dream, and I could not stop replaying every moment in my mind. The way Ronan had looked at me, the desperation in his eyes, the way he had reached for me like I was the only thing that mattered in the world. And I had stopped him. I had actually stopped him.A smile spread across my face as I closed the door behind me and leaned against it, letting out a breath I had not realized I was holding. I felt proud of myself. For the first time in my life, I was the one in control. I was the one setting the rules. I was the one this wealthy, handsome, sexy hunk of an Alpha was in love with, and he loved only me while other females were throwing themselves at him left and right.I walked over to my bed and sat down, still smiling. I thought abo
RONAN’S POVThe world had tilted sideways, and I was still trying to find my footing.I stood there in front of Declan with my hand still extended from our embrace, and I could feel the blood draining from my face even as I forced my lips to smile. Mira. The Luna. The woman I had spent the night wi
MIRA’S POVThe pack house felt different now as I walked through the halls with my head held high and my back straight, but my insides were screaming. I smiled at the servants who passed me and nodded at the guards who saluted me. I acted as the perfect Luna.But inside, I was breaking apart.Every
MIRA’S POV“I cannot,” I whispered and shook my head.Zara was quiet on the other end of the phone for a moment, then she let out a long breath as if she had been holding it since and whispered back, “why can’t you? Mira, you can not stay with a gay husband. A man who treats you like trash.”I shoo
MIRA’S POVI heard Declan’s voice first. Low and familiar. Exactly the kind of tone he had never used with me before.Then I heard a moan and froze, because that moan was not my husband’s.And it did not belong to a woman.I was not supposed to be there, at this hour, because the pack function was
