His Stolen Luna Chapter 18
EllaVictor led me through the mansion's winding corridors in silence. The only sound was our footsteps echoing against the stone floors. I tried to memorize our path, noting landmarks: a painting of wolves hunting under moonlight, an ornate vase filled with fresh lilies, a window that overlooked the eastern gardens. Knowledge is power, and right now, I had precious little of either. My mind raced as we walked. What was I going to tell Jackson? He was already barely speaking to me. How would he react when I told him we'd be staying here indefinitely? That he'd have to pretend Liam was his father? God, what a mess. And Marcus... Despite everything, my heart ached thinking about him. How quickly he'd turned on me. How easily he'd believed Ava's lies. Whatever she'd done to fake that test, I needed to prove it was false. Jackson was his son. I knew it with absolute certainty. But how could I prove it from here? Trapped in Liam's mansion, playing house with the Lycan King? I couldn'

EllaWe'd been walking for at least five minutes, descending deeper into what felt like the bowels of the mansion. "I think I'll come back later," I said, stopping in my tracks. The guard turned, his eyes glinting strangely in the dim light. "The King is expecting you." A shiver ran down my spine. Something about his tone, the way his lips curved into not-quite-a-smile, made my instincts scream. But what choice did I have? Refusing to follow might be more dangerous than whatever awaited me. "Lead on, then," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. We continued down the corridor, the temperature dropping with each step. I hugged the medical file tighter against my chest, as if it might shield me from whatever was coming. My mind raced through possible scenarios, but none of them were good. Was this some sort of test? Or had Liam decided I wasn't worth the trouble after all? The guard stopped so abruptly that I nearly crashed into his back. He gestured to an ornate wooden door wit

EllaLiam studied me for a moment, his expression unreadable. "Alright. I'll provide everything you asked for. Medical history, previous treatments, all of it." He moved toward a cabinet near the door and pulled out a thick folder. "Here's what we have so far. The medical staff has been thorough." I took the folder, surprised by its weight. "I'll need to review these before making any decisions. Then I'll run some tests of my own." "Fair enough." He nodded curtly. "The lab is fully equipped. Whatever you need, just ask." We stepped out of the room, the heavy security door closing automatically behind us with a series of electronic beeps and clicks. "Why all the security?" I asked, gesturing to the elaborate system. "If he's been unconscious for so long, what are you afraid he'll do? Sleepwalk?" Liam's jaw tightened. "You'll get answers soon enough." "That's not cryptic at all," I muttered. He ignored my sarcasm. "Any other questions?" "Just one for now. I need to check on Jack

EllaI glanced back at the patient, my mind racing through options I didn't have. "You're asking me to potentially unleash something that killed our people." "I'm asking you to heal a patient." His voice dropped lower. "The rest is my concern." I wanted to laugh at the absurdity. Yesterday, I was nearly executed; today, I was being strong-armed into treating public enemy number one. "Let me get this straight," I said, crossing my arms. "You want me to heal the creature that terrorized our pack for months? The same one that left children orphaned and mates widowed?" Liam's expression didn't change. "Yes." "Fantastic. And if I refuse, you'll what—throw me and my six-year-old back to the wolves?" I winced at my own poor choice of words. "Essentially." I ran my fingers through my tangled hair. "Some rescue this turned out to be." "I never claimed to be your knight in shining armor." "No, you're just the guy holding the sword to my throat instead of Marcus." I turned back to the

EllaI stared down at the patient, my medical brain automatically cataloging his condition. Pale skin stretched over sharp cheekbones. Dark hair contrasted against white sheets. Multiple IV lines. Breathing steadily but shallow. Several monitoring devices tracking vital signs. But he looked... normal. Young. Maybe mid twenties. Vulnerable. "You know him," Liam said, his voice cutting through my clinical assessment. I shook my head, confused. "I've never seen this man before." "Not directly, perhaps." Liam's eyes never left the patient's face. "This is the monster." The words hung in the air between us. I stared at him, then back at the unconscious young man. "What monster?" But even as I asked, ice spread through my veins. There was only one "monster" everyone in our territory knew about. "This is the monster," Liam repeated, his voice flat. My mind reeled backward through time. Images flashed before me: the chaos, the screams, the bodies. I remembered those terrible nights ye

Ella"Now?" I glanced down at my borrowed robe and pajamas, plucking at the silky material. "Give me twenty minutes." "Take thirty." He paused at the doorway. "And Ella?" "Yes?" "Try not to run around the halls in those pajamas again. Some of my guards aren't as... disciplined as I am." I watched him disappear through the doors, my cheeks burning from his last comment. The nerve of that man! First, he saves our lives, and then he has the audacity to comment about my pajamas. I hugged his robe tighter around me. My mind raced with questions. Why did he really save us? What could he possibly need my help with that required such dramatic intervention? The whole situation felt wrong. I had good results with my patients but nothing extraordinary, as he claimed. And why be so secretive about who needed help? I retreated to my bedroom, my bare feet silent against the cold marble floor. The enormous space felt empty without Jackson, but at least I knew he was safe and having fun. That t
His Stolen Luna Chapter 12
EllaI yanked open the bedroom door and peered into the hallway. Empty. The corridor stretched in both directions, lined with identical doors. Which way should I go? "Jackson!" I called out, my voice bouncing off the walls. No response. My bare feet slapped against the cold marble as I jogged down the hallway. I had to find him. What if he was lost? What if someone had hurt him? What if— No. I couldn't think like that. I needed to be logical. I stopped, forcing myself to take a deep breath. Think, Ella. Where would he go? I didn't even know where to start looking for Jackson. Liam. He would know. He probably had people watching us anyway. I approached what I hoped was his door and knocked frantically, not caring if I woke him. My son was missing. No answer. I knocked again, harder this time. "What's wrong?" I spun around so fast that I nearly lost my balance. Liam stood a few feet away, already dressed in dark jeans and a fitted black t-shirt that clung to his chest like it

EllaLiam stepped back, creating some welcome distance between us. "I need your help." "My help?" I crossed my arms. "Look, thank you for saving us. I'm grateful, truly. But I'm not sure what I can give you in return. If you want information about my pack, first, I don't think you need me for that, and second, I'm not putting innocent people in danger. You said you'd spare them." He raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure they're innocent?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "They were going to let you die, Ella. You and your son. None of them spoke up for you when you were wronged." The truth of his words stung, but I shook my head. "They just don't know the truth. They believe what Marcus and Ava told them." "And that makes it okay?" His voice hardened. "They were ready to watch your execution without question." "Not everyone," I argued, though my conviction wavered. "Some of them looked horrified." "But did any of them try to stop it?" He stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. "Di

MarcusThat bitch made me the ultimate fool in this pack. I stormed through the front door of our—my house, slamming it behind me with enough force to rattle the windows. The scent of her still lingered everywhere. Ella's perfume, her cooking, the faint trace of her skin on the furniture. It was like being haunted by a ghost who wasn't even dead. Seven years. Seven fucking years I'd given her everything. My name. My protection. My heart. And what had she done? Spread her legs for Liam Blackwood, my enemy, and passed off his bastard as my own. I'd changed Jackson's diapers. Taught him to walk. Stayed up with him when he had nightmares. All for a child that wasn't even mine. The memory of Liam's smug face as he claimed them—"my woman and my son"—made my blood boil. The elders had torn into me for hours after they left: Robert with his condescending sighs, Greg openly questioning my leadership, and even Sarah, who'd always supported me, couldn't look me in the eye.
