Valentina’s POV

“Then who is this?” Abby snapped, shoving Don’s photo in my face.

Of course I knew they’d circle back to him. Derek’s last call had already hinted at it, and I’d prepared for this moment. I’d even briefed my special ally in Silverclaw, just in case. I was still one step ahead.

“My PA,” I answered smoothly, not even bothering to deny it. “Got a problem with that?”

Abby blinked, thrown off. “You sent him to Silverclaw the day I went to visit my parents, didn’t you?”

I tilted my he

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Parasitic Wolf

    Abby’s POV Ruby had to go to the hospital for a proper checkup after the purging kept coming and going.So, I took the kids to the restaurant instead.Derek didn’t come home last night. He only called to say he had things to handle and wouldn’t be back until later.I knew better. He didn’t need time for work. He needed space.Before leaving for the restaurant, I called Father to check on him. When we spoke the previous night, he complained that the twins had already fallen asleep before he could talk to them.So this morning, I let him speak to them before we left.His voice softened instantly the moment Amy and Asher started talking over each other through the phone.Amy kept trying to grab the phone from Asher just to scream louder into it.I couldn’t help smiling as he giggled over the phone listening to them.It reminded me of how he used to be with me before my eighteenth birthday changed everything between us.But I knew better now. We had both been hurting back then.I promise

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Always Between Them

    Abby’s POV Thankfully, the twins unknowingly salvaged the situation before the tension could grow worse.“Derek, see!” Amy said excitedly, lifting Molly proudly. “Hayden buy it for me!”“Bought, sweetheart,” I corrected automatically.“Hayden bought it for me,” she repeated obediently.Derek chuckled softly. “Can I see it properly?”Amy immediately wriggled toward him.Hayden hesitated for the briefest second before finally releasing her hand.Asher followed right behind her without thinking twice.Something unreadable crossed Hayden’s face before he looked away.Derek crouched slightly as Amy shoved the stuffed bunny into his face proudly.“Nice,” he praised seriously before pretending to inspect it closer. “But what if I get you one even bigger than this?”He spread his hands wider dramatically.Amy gasped softly. “Really?”“Mhm.”Asher immediately tugged Derek’s sleeve. “Mine too. A big car.”Derek laughed under his breath, ruffling his hair lightly. “Sure, my boy.”I heard Hayden

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Outnumbered

    Abby’s POV By the time the kids woke up, another course had already been served.After the meal, I decided it was time to go home.“I thought we agreed they were spending the whole day with me,” Hayden said, sounding almost disappointed.He was right, but I couldn’t stay anymore. I thought of something to say to escape but nothing came. “I already got tickets for them to an amusement park this evening,” Hayden finally said.My brow pulled. “Why again? They already had enough fun here.”“It’s what I arranged yesterday,” he replied simply.“Let it be tomorrow evening,” I said, a little too quickly. “They’ve had enough today.”He paused, then nodded. “…Alright.”It was only after he agreed that it hit me. I had just created another reason to be around him again tomorrow. My chest tightened faintly.Not so soon.Not after the kiss.I pressed a hand to my forehead.The memory still lingered stubbornly in my head. Worse… my lips tingled every time I thought about it, like it had happene

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Something Changed Anyway

    Hayden’s POV It took everything in me to stay still while she spoke about her trauma… knowing the root of it traced back to me.And seeing her cry that way–Something in me cracked irreparably.Her lips were still against mine, trembling slightly beneath the restraint I was barely holding together.Fear held me in place.I had crossed a boundary she set. I knew that much.I thought of pulling away before this became another mistake she would hate me for later.But then her fingers tightened faintly against my shirt.Not pushing me away.Holding on.Like she didn’t want me to leave.My restraint slipped before I could stop it.I deepened the kiss slightly.Her breath caught softly against my lips.The sound nearly broke what was left of my control.My hand moved to her back on instinct, pulling her in just enough that she fit against me again. Slower this time. Heavier. Like I was trying to convince myself this wasn’t something I was stealing.She tasted like salt and warmth and every

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Safe Enough to Break

    Abby’s POV I inhaled and rose to my feet, his height immediately overshadowing mine. I tilted my head slightly just to meet his eyes.Even when he tried to steady his expression, I could still see it… the struggle in him. The restraint he refused to let slip.My gaze dropped to his midsection beneath the shirt.“Your wound…” I started. “I want it to heal first.”His brow lifted slightly, as if he wasn’t sure he heard me right.I stepped closer, my fingers brushing lightly over his shirt where the wound was hidden beneath.“I’ll think about the bond later,” I said softly. “Right now… I want you to heal.”For a moment, he didn’t respond.His eyes stayed on me, unreadable in a way that made my chest tighten all over again.“You don’t have to worry about me… about my wound,” he said quietly. “It will heal with time.”My fingers slipped away from his shirt slowly.“I wish I could stop worrying about you…” The words slipped out before I could stop them.Silence followed.I swallowed, quick

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Between Us

    Hayden’s POV For a few seconds, neither of us spoke.I exhaled slowly.“Abby… listen, we can't do this.”“We can,” she said, folding her arms calmly across her chest.My mind spun, already knowing what this would cost me.“Abby,” I tried again. “Hear me out, please. The bond…”“I said we can,” she cut in, her tone final.My jaw tightened.“I made things clear already,” she continued. “I’m here because of the kids. I want you in their lives… not mine.”The words landed exactly where they always did. Painful and unavoidable. Every time she drew that line, I found more reasons to hate myself. And there was nothing I could do about it. Another silence settled between us.The defiance in her expression didn’t waver.“If that’s what you want…” I ran a hand through my hair, nodding once. “Give me a minute.”I didn’t wait for her answer.I stepped out onto the balcony.The city stretched endlessly — glass towers, quiet lights, distant movement far below.Everything looked… calm.But nothin

    Valentina’s POV I knew Hayden might still insist on checking his connection with the pup. So, I had already planned a distraction until Don could bring me the potion from Morgana tomorrow morning.My plan was simple, I would slip some sleeping potion into Hayden’s drink. Luckily, I still had a lef

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Furious at His Blindness

    Abby's POV I sat at the pool edge in the backyard, my legs dangling in the cool water, head tilted toward the heavens. The night sky stretched above me, the moon half-hidden behind drifting clouds. This was the first time I’d ever come to this pool. I’d never seen the point before, my life here ha

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Were You in My Room?

    Abby's POV “You’re acting suspicious, Valentina.”My insides screamed for joy when Alex accused her. Valentina’s face twitched, but she quickly masked it with a frown of feigned confusion.“Alex! I won’t take that from you. That’s a false accusation,” she snapped.“Then why are you here all of a s

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Recognition

    Abby's POV My mind raced, busy adding two plus two together. Could Valentina be behind the bug? Could she have done it when my phone was with her?“Mrs. Roche. See you some other time, ma’am,” Justus’s voice cut through my thoughts.“Alright. My regards to everyone at the quarters,” I said, waving
