Abby's POV

Derek saved me at the mask ball from watching Hayden dance with a woman, maybe another of his girlfriends. I don’t know. But seeing them broke my heart in a way I still can’t lay my fingers on.

Derek didn’t say anything. He probably noticed my distress. He just guided me gently into a dance, and suddenly, memories we once shared started flooding back, one after another. I felt deeply conflicted, unsure of myself in a way I never had before. The way I feel about Derek, my longtime cr

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    We're Still Here

    Abby’s POV Somewhere between one kiss and the next, I lost track of what we were doing.My thoughts had long since stopped making sense.By the time I became aware of anything beyond him again, cool air brushed against my skin.I blinked.I was completely bare beneath his intense blue gaze.A flicker of self-consciousness crawled through me as he stared down at me with a reverence that made my chest tighten.Then his attention dropped to my stomach, the scar the rogues had left behind that day in the woods when Clara and I escaped Liam’s place.His fingers traced it gently.A quiet curse slipped from him, low and rough.I saw it in his face…the shift, the weight of what he imagined I must have endured.I took his hand and guided it away from the scar.I didn't want to think about that day.My fingers lingered on his hand for a brief moment before I pulled him closer, silently urging him to forget the scar and focus on us instead.His gaze lifted to mine.And immediately, Asher's voic

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Nothing Left to Hold Back

    Abby’s POV Before I could stop myself, my hand lifted and brushed lightly against his cheek.Hayden went still.The surprise on his face was almost enough to make me pull away immediately.Almost.Then he cleared his throat, a small shift in his posture following right after as though he had just remembered himself.“Abby…”The vulnerability that had surfaced earlier was already gone. It didn’t fade so much as get buried, carefully locked away again.“Don’t look at me like I deserve your sympathy. I didn’t tell you all that to make you feel guilty.”I lowered my hand slowly, my fingers lingering in the air for a second longer than necessary before dropping completely."I know."My voice came out softer than I expected.I said it, knowing he was already putting his walls back up and retreating behind that strong facade again, as if showing weakness was something he simply wasn't allowed to do.Carla's words from yesterday replayed in my head.When I wanted to sever our bond, she had w

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Not Just Me

    Abby’s POV Goosebumps prickled across my skin.My hair was damp, and the clothes I'd soaked while rushing from the cruiser to shelter clung uncomfortably to me.Hayden wasn't much better either.We'd both shielded the twins while disembarking, so they had escaped with only a few droplets on them.I sneezed.Hayden immediately glanced over.“You're catching a cold.”“I'm fine. The weather will clear soon and…”Another sneeze cut me off.His jaw tightened.“You just sneezed twice in less than a minute.”“Believe me, I'm fine…” Another sneeze.Traitor.Hayden's expression flattened. "Right."I glared at him.He muttered something under his breath before pulling out his phone and stepping aside.I watched him speak quietly to whoever was on the other end. A few minutes later, he ended the call and walked back.“I just checked in on available lodges inside this park.” he said, "I didn't think we'd get stranded here, so I never booked earlier. Most of them are already occupied now…”“Ha

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Closer Than Intended

    Abby’s POV Hayden’s hand pressed lightly at my back, keeping me closer. There was barely any space between us now, and my heartbeat quickened uncomfortably as his face came slightly nearer.Then he stopped."We're good this way," Hayden said calmly. "She isn't fond of too much attention.”Good job. A convenient excuse invented on the spot.Still, I couldn’t look away."Oh... she's the shy type, just like my husband," the woman said with a laugh.I barely heard the rest of her words after.Everything around me faded to the background until all I was aware of was Hayden. Those impossibly blue eyes remained fixed on mine.And for a moment that felt far longer than it should have, neither of us looked away.Then a soft, warm laugh broke through the moment.“You both remind me of when my husband and I were younger,” she said.It was only then I realised the photo had already been taken, but neither of us had moved.Heat rushed to my face instantly.My heartbeat jumped again, worse this ti

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    For The Picture

    Abby's POVThey pulled me toward the carousel entrance where Hayden was already standing, as if he had been waiting for this exact outcome.“You didn’t have to send the kids to get me,” I said quietly.He raised an eyebrow.“Did I?”I gave him a look but didn't bother arguing.A faint huff of laughter escaped him.The sound did something annoyingly strange to my stomach.Oh, for Moon Goddess' sake.I looked away before I could dwell on it and forced my attention back to the twins.Together, Hayden and I settled them onto two neighboring horses. Hayden stayed beside Amy while I stood next to Asher, each of us keeping a hand near them as the ride prepared to start.It also left Hayden and me standing far closer than I was entirely comfortable with.The carousel began to move.Music drifted through the air as the horses rose and fell in a gentle rhythm. Amy and Asher squealed with delight, waving excitedly at each other every time they came into view.Beside them, Hayden and I remained c

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Not Fatherless

    Abby’s POV I turned my head toward her, my nose flaring.Elowen smirked. “Good. It pleases me that you at least know what you are.”Her eyes dragged over me slowly as she stepped closer. “A parasitic wolf.”Ever since she had incurred the wrath of a mother when she touched Amy at my restaurant the last time, she hadn’t set foot there again. And I hadn’t seen her around Derek’s pack since then either.I knew Ruby must have told Derek what happened, and he would have likely prohibited her from entering his pack.Her anger toward me might have been justified for making her fall out of favor with her crush… but not for calling me that.“I’ve warned you countless times,” I said coldly. “I am no parasite to anyone.”“You are,” she snapped, folding her arms. “To Alpha Derek, of course. He's so focused on fatherless children that aren’t even his…”“Excuse you?” Hayden’s voice cut in sharply from behind me.“Did you just call my children fatherless?” he asked, his tone dropping dangerously lo

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    A Sister’s Betrayal

    Abby’s POVI woke with a sharp gasp, only for panic to slam into me.My hands were tied behind the chair. My ankles too. Thick rope bit into my skin. I tried to scream, but a gag muffled the sound, reducing it to a broken whimper.The place reeked of dust and decay. Cobwebs clung to the walls, thic

She's your sister!”Valentina moved instantly, blocking her path. “I don’t have patience for your family drama,” she sn

    Abby’s POVRuby glanced at me, clearly not interested in what Alex was saying over the phone. I wasn’t either, especially now that he mentioned Hayden. They might be trying to manipulate Ruby just to get to me.“Hello, Ruby? Are you still there?” Alex’s voice came again.Ruby took the phone from me

    Abby’s POV I stared at Hayden like he’d spoken in a language I didn’t understand, searching his face for sanity.“Tell me why you hid my children from me, Abby,” he repeated, as if I hadn’t heard him the first time.“Which… children are you talking about?” I asked.“Amy and Asher,” he said, his to
