I took off my jacket and closed the door behind me. I moved to my table and filled a crystal glass with the remaining whiskey. The liquid burned its way down my throat as I took a slow drink. Everything was coming together.

This would soon come to an end. Ronan was foolishly planning his next move somewhere out there. But I was, too.

With a creak, the door opened. I knew it was Rebecca without having to look. Even before I saw her, I could feel her.

She stepped forward and said, "You didn't sleep." I turned, the knot of tightness in my chest loosening at the sight of her. Her shoulders were covered in loose hair. eyes shining in the shadows.

My skin was pricked by my wolf. My senses are being overtaken by the ferocious drive to claim her.

I put up a fierce fight because I didn't want to frighten her because she had come to me voluntarily. I gritted my teeth and muttered, "I couldn't."

"Rebecca, why are you here? I asked, growing impatient. She curled her hair with her fingers and

  • Cursed Luna   Her next job

    Rebecca We were meeting with my stepmother today because she said she had something for us, and the trial was set for tomorrow. She had better. It was in the same quiet teahouse that we first met her. This time, Clara remained still and vigilant by the doorway, and I sat down by the window as usual. With a fitted black suit, gold jewelry, and a smirk that suggested she still had the upper hand, Kate entered the room looking like she had just stepped off the cover of a magazine. How ironic. This time, she didn't bother to say hello. "Rebecca," she murmured in a tight voice. "You're early." I gave a small smile. "You're running late." "To me, time is only a social construct." She uttered those words. "Well done, but let's save time." Kate crossed her legs and sat down elegantly. She slid the thin black folder she had brought across the table after opening it. "Everything you requested. Evidence that the business is not his, including phony corporations and offshore accounts I

  • Cursed Luna   The secret

    RebeccaIt was a long night, too long. No matter how many times I closed my eyes, I was unable to fall asleep. The pounding in my chest was far worse than the aches in my body. The sound of that explosion kept coming back to me as my mind continued to repeat everything.When I eventually got up, I saw Clara sitting at the little desk near the corner, her fingers fidgeting restlessly over her phone, her hair now pulled free."She hasn't said anything yet?" Silently, I asked. Startled to see me awake, she looked up and moaned. "She observed it. the recording, after which she gave it two listens."And?" "No response." I let out a slow breath. "She is contemplating." Clara clarified, "She's panicking."And that's beneficial to us. She's either attempting to clear her path or determine which side to support. She glared at me, but I forced myself off the bed and grabbed my jacket. "So we have to give her a choice.""Are you certain you're capable of doing this?" "I have no other option." Ign

    RebeccaIn an instant, I turned. "Who is present?" I yelled, but nobody answered.This time, the sound was more acute. A clang of metal that sliced through the darkness.She murmured, "Someone's here," and began to move forward in a slow, cautious manner.I could hear Clara's heartbeat quicken. As if it were a shield, she held the notepad close to her chest. "Your father, he knew we were coming." She whispered, "He knew."My heart fell. “What?”Next, I smelled something. It smelled like charred iron, faint, metallic, and a little sour. Vega gestured for us to leave while keeping an eye on every shadow. "Stay close," she urged.A person scurried between two crate piles. Even though it was only a blur, I managed to catch it. "Over there!" Vega sprang when I pointed, striking her boots against the wood with enough force to create an echo.She yelled, "Stop!" with a captain's command in her voice that caused even me to stop for a heartbeat.For a little while, the man froze, but she only

  • Cursed Luna   Ruthlessness

    RebeccaHe flicked hair from his face. That is, until you arrived and she made the decision to draft a document known as a will. That's not a problem though; I buried it all with her. Her shitty will won't be a thing to stop me.”I balled my hands into fists. "I find you repulsive."His smirk grew. “Oh, come now. You and she are not all that different. Soft-spoken, sentimental, thinking you can change the world by being good.” He drew closer, his voice falling to a whisper. But Rebecca, goodness doesn't win battles. Ruthlessness does.”I forced myself to meet his stare, even as my chest burned. "You believe you've won because you stole something that wasn't yours?"“I don’t think I’ve won,” he answered quietly. “I know I have. I already own the business. The board is devoted to me. The courts are predictable and slow. And you? You are merely a young child pretending to be queen. Rebecca, you're playing a losing game. Give up.I moved in close enough for him to see the fury behind my e

  • Cursed Luna   The Alpha

    RebeccaAbove the courthouse, the sky was a chilly, pale gray that took the color out of everything it came into contact with. As Vega and I climbed, my sneakers made a loud noise against the stairs. Clara trailed closely behind, holding a folder and a notepad like a lifeline.The air felt heavier within. My father sat calmly and arrogantly at the defense table as the lawyers shuffled their documents. He looked excellent in his dark suit, one hand casually thrown across the armrest. When his gaze found mine, he smiled—a diabolical look that shot nothing but rage down my spine. It wasn’t a hello. A declaration of war was made.Clara was already organizing her notes when we sat down next to her. Vega lingered behind me, her hand gently stroking my shoulder, a simple reminder that she was there, no matter what.The judge walked in, his robes flowing, his gaze sharp but weary. He declared, "Court is currently in session." "The Davis Corporation ownership dispute between Mr. Jake Davis and
