Mabella’s POV

I stepped out of the clearing and into the shade of the trees. Alfredo was already moving toward me, his expression tight with everything he had clearly overheard. Fred stayed farther back, giving us room, but I knew he was close enough to hear.

“What the hell was that, Mabella?” Alfredo asked, his voice low but strained. “I heard every word. You promised that stranger you would meet him alone at midnight. At the old mill crossing. You offered him the full Ashborne bloodline secre

  • FAT GIRLS can’t be LUNA   The Promise That Broke Us

    Mabella’s POVI stepped out of the clearing and into the shade of the trees. Alfredo was already moving toward me, his expression tight with everything he had clearly overheard. Fred stayed farther back, giving us room, but I knew he was close enough to hear.“What the hell was that, Mabella?” Alfredo asked, his voice low but strained. “I heard every word. You promised that stranger you would meet him alone at midnight. At the old mill crossing. You offered him the full Ashborne bloodline secrets. You never once looked toward me. Not a single glance.”I stopped in front of him and took a slow breath. “Yes. That is exactly what I agreed to. He brings the Ruby tonight and I will give him everything I know. The true markings, the hidden lines, the maps, every lead I have on my brother. In return, we finally get the stone back. I go alone. That was the deal.”Alfredo rubbed a hand over his jaw, his eyes never leaving mine. “You agreed to meet a man who just threatened our unborn child. At

  • FAT GIRLS can’t be LUNA   Midnight for the Ruby

    Alfredo’s POV“Neither of you move another inch. Hands where I can see them. Now.”The stranger’s voice cut through the clearing. I stayed hidden in the tree line, every instinct screaming at me to move, but I held still.Mabella lifted her hands slowly. “This is a private conversation. You have no business here. Walk away before this turns ugly.”The stranger laughed. “Private? With the Ruby between you? I do not think so. I have been tracking that stone for months. Tell me exactly what deal you were just making.”Mabella’s mother kept her arms visible. “You are interrupting something far bigger than you realize. Turn around now and we can all leave this clearing alive. Push this and someone will bleed.”“Bleed?” the stranger said. “I have men with clear shots. The girl is pregnant, is she not? Tell me the deal or I start making examples.”Mabella kept her voice steady. “You want the Ruby? Then you will earn it. I was offering my mother a trade. The stone for information only I hold

  • FAT GIRLS can’t be LUNA   Your Brother Is Still Alive

    Mabella’s POV“You really came.”I stopped at the edge of the clearing, my voice carrying across the damp grass before I could think better of it. The words tasted bitter on my tongue. The old orange tree stood heavy with fruit behind her, its sweet rotting scent thick in the morning air. Alfredo and Fred lingered two steps back in the tree line like I had asked, but I could still feel them watching.The woman turned slowly. My mother. Or the ghost of her. “Mabella,” she said, low and careful, like my name might break if she spoke it too loud. “I wasn’t sure you would. After everything.”“After everything?” I let out a sharp, ugly sound that was supposed to be a laugh. “You mean after I spent fifteen years believing you burned on that pyre? After I stood there until the ashes went cold and they had to drag me away? Yeah. I still came. Because apparently I’m still stupid enough to hope this Ruby nonsense might fix something.”She looked older up close. Silver threaded through her dark

    Mabella's POV"The Ruby is gone."Fred’s voice hit the corridor like a slap. We all froze.I spun around so fast my head spun. He was rushing toward us from the vault wing, face pale, eyes wild and red-rimmed like he’d just been punched in the soul."What the hell do you mean it’s gone?" Alfredo barked, stepping forward. "Fred, talk to me.""Overnight," Fred said, breathing hard, almost gasping. "Third hour rotation. The outer door was completely intact. No forced entry, no alarms, nothing. It’s just… not there anymore. Vanished.""That’s impossible," Alfredo growled, voice rising. "The protections were supposed to hold for weeks—""They were weaker than we thought, okay?" Fred snapped back, sounding wrecked. "Way fucking weaker. Whoever took it knew the exact degradation level. Down to the hour, Alfredo. They didn’t guess. They timed it perfectly."I looked at Serena. She stood there frozen, one hand gripping her shawl so tight her knuckles were bone-white. "Serena… you knew this mig

  • FAT GIRLS can’t be LUNA   Someone Is Coming for the Ruby

    Alfredo's POV"The Ruby."Fred said it from the war room doorway, voice low and tight in a way that made me drop everything immediately.It was barely past the fifth hour. Mabella had shaken me awake twenty minutes earlier with that look on her face — the one that said shit had changed overnight and she needed me up before she could even breathe through it. Serena stood right behind her, calm as hell, like she’d been waiting three years just for this moment.Now the four of us were crammed in the war room with the early morning grey pressing against the windows. Fred had the old vault records spread open on the table like they’d personally betrayed him."The protection wards," Fred said, eyes still glued to the papers. "Last renewal was seven years ago.""The protocol’s supposed to happen every five," I said slowly, already feeling the weight sink in."Yeah.""So they’ve been weakening for two years."Fred just nodded. "Yes."I turned and looked at my mother.She met my eyes without f

  • FAT GIRLS can’t be LUNA   The Sacred Ruby Was Never Safe

    Mabella's POV"He cried once."Serena said it so softly I almost missed it. She was cradling her tea with both hands, staring into the low flicker of the lamp like the memory was playing right there in the flame."Alfredo?" I asked."Yeah." She gave a small nod. "He was seventeen. His father had just sat him down and told him he’d be Alpha one day. Instead of looking proud, he came straight to my room that night. Sat in the chair by my bed and didn’t say a single word for the longest time." She paused. "Then he cried. Quiet. Like he was trying to do it without making a sound."I watched her face. "What did you do?""Nothing," she said. "I just let him. That’s the part nobody warns you about when you’re raising someone strong. Sometimes the best thing you can do is sit there and not look away while they fall apart." She met my eyes. "He needed to know I could see all of it and still believe he’d be okay."The lamp hissed softly between us."He doesn’t cry now," I murmured."No," Serena
