Keira POV

The sight before me was strange at first. I couldn't immediately decipher it. The situation only became clear as the two muttered curses while fumbling with their clothes.

So many things came to mind to say but all I could do was turn around. Liam was still struggling with his zipper as I walked back out and shut the door.

Images of our entire one year of marriage began to replay before me. Beginning from the most recent incident on our wedding anniversary. The working late. The sneaking in at midnight and rushing straight to the bathroom for a shower. The texting and whispered phone calls.

He'd been having an affair? With Belle Faust?

I walked mindlessly, not sure where I was headed. Terry, his assistant, appeared.

"Luna, good morning," he greeted.

I didn't have the sense of mind to respond. Then I heard the office door open and soon felt Liam behind me. I glanced around and was amazed at how neat and straightlaced he appeared. His shirt and tie were set neatly now. L

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The secret informant

    Alpha Nox "I want every little detail you can lay hands on," I said to Theo. "About the Pine AND the entire pack. I want every tiny, insignificant piece of information about her. I mean... yeah, her!" "Are you talking about the Luna," Theo asked gently. I didn't care that he was watching me carefully. "Yes! The Luna," I said. Maybe I should invade the Spring Moon. Because how else could we resolve anything if Keira Gray refused to see or talk to me? Force was the only solution in my head at the moment. Maybe that was the only language understand she would respond to. "I'm already checking like you asked right after her anniversary," Theo informed. "Her pack is guarded. They're definitely hiding something. But I'm close to uncovering their secret. I have a source." "Who? Mrs Faust?" I asked. "We can't trust her. She wants a mate for her daughter. And didn't you say she's not cooperative?" "She was friendlier the last time we talked. I expect her to call anytime." I tried

    Alpha NoxMrs Faust left soon after she spilled the secret of the Spring Moon. Theo and I sat wordlessly in the study for a long time before he asked, "What's the plan?" He looked ready for my orders. But I couldn't act on what I just learned yet. Not in the way he expected. I needed more information. Mrs Faust had revealed that something was allegedly wrong. She hadn't merely offered a lead on my background check."It'll be too easy and swift to take them," Theo said. "As easy as Silver lake pack. Remember those?""They're not a small pack like that, Theo. We can't be hasty."Also Mrs Faust was hiding something. I didn't trust her."I want you to get me all you can find on Zoey Faust.""Yes, Alpha.""I have to go to the Spring Moon for a friendly visit."Moments later, I set out to go to the Spring Moon to see Felix Gray. At least, he would be my excuse for this particular visit. Keira would undoubtedly be around. I would find a way to get alone to talk.I soon reached their lands,

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Dandelion 2

    Keira POV When I opened my eyes, I was on a hospital bed with Doctor Glass standing over me. The relief in her expression brought everything back. I'd argued with Liam and was about to attack when I passed out at the sight of my claws. "You're awake, Luna," the doctor said with a kind smile. I tried to sit up but she rushed to my side quickly. "Take it easy." "What the hell happened?" "Please, lie still," she said as she gently push me back down. "You passed out. According to Yara, you and Alpha Liam were talking when you suddenly screamed. She and Conan rushed to the chamber and found you lying on the floor." I recalled how Liam had denied cheating. A new wave of anger stirred inside me and I let my head fall back to calm down. He'd insisted that I saw wrong. How was that possible? I couldn't be losing my mind, could I? "Your clothes were shredded when they brought you in," said the doctor. "You tried to shift? Luna, we talked about this. I thought you understand how d

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Lie and Dare

    Nox POV "I'm not pregnant, Nox." Those words felt like a soothing glass of cool water, cascading down my hot chest. It cooled the heat that rose inside me moments ago when her husband spoke the lie. "He said you're pregnant," I argued. Perhaps I needed to be sure. What would I do if she was indeed pregnant? I had no idea. It would compound an already deeply complicated situation. "Don't you see why he would tell that lie?" She asked with a frown. I actually did. Alpha Liam didn't want someone like me to learn of any weakness in the pack. "What happened to you?" Rather than an answer to my question, she asked, "What do you want from us?" "I want nothing from him." I replied, bobbing my head in her husband's direction. That was necessary lie. I wanted something from Liam Rudd. I wanted his wife. As her fierce amber eyes fixed on mine stubbornly, I decided that I would have what I want. This female was rightfully mine, wasn't she? "You don't want anything from him, huh? Can

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The elders' opinion

    Keira POVWhile laying on the hospital bed, I decided on one thing. To never return to the same bedroom I shared with my husband. So I sent Yara ahead to quickly move my things to the other master's chamber. Conan would help her be discreet so that other staff did not see and spread rumors. He and Uncle Felix were silent when we walked out of the hospital. The latter was brooding. I tried not to pay attention as he turned back around to go meet Nox. He either wanted to ask what we discussed or he was about to play the jealous husband. I didn't care, so I didn't mind him.If uncle noticed, he didn't show it. I was grateful for the silence because I didn't want to talk to either of them. The fact that he, my uncle, knew about Liam's infidelity and didn't say a word was something I couldn't forgive quickly. I was no longer sure if he was on my side. And that was worse than the actual crime for me.We reached home soon. The moment we entered the pack, I missed the woods on such a beauti

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Unwilling notary

    To my horror, I couldn't answer Mrs. Hill's question right away. Instead, my mouth hung open as Liam's words echoed in my head. '''She was showing me something on her laptop when you walked in.'''The older female went on,"Hard to believe you saw it, Luna. He respects you too much, you know that."Another male spoke,"Allow me to add, my Luna, that you have a duty to the Spring Moon. And that duty comes before your feelings, dear! What would Alpha Nox do if he hears that there's trouble with the First Family? We may be one of the four major packs, but we are not above invasion and conquest, Luna. I'm sure you know what I mean!"Yeah, I knew what he meant. I was female and basically without a wolf. I was more or less a figurehead leader. The blood of my father was the one thing keeping me here."I don't have to stay married!" I insisted."Oh, yes, you do, dear Keira." The chief rose and the rest of them with him except for my uncle. "Unfortunately, you do have to stay married. Especia

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Luna's guest

    Keira POVI didn't save Nox's number the last time we talked. But as I stared at my screen, I knew he was the one calling me. Liam strained his neck to see my phone screen, asking,"Who's that?" I held the phone away, and, ignoring the question, I proceeded towards my newly furnished bedchamber. 'Ignore this call, Keira,' I pleaded silently with myself. Yet I was almost running in order to make it into the room before the ringing stopped. Once I was far from Liam and all other ears, I stared at the screen while recalling my meeting with the elders moments ago.Their words with Liam and my uncle's echoed in my head. How I needed someone to talk to. Not necessarily about my messy life though. Merely to talk with someone so I would feel less lonely. I slid the answer button before shutting the door and resting my back on it."Hey, Keira," came the sultry baritone of Nox's voice.I breathed in gently before replying,"Hello, Alpha Nox.""How are you?" His tone was so gentle. The que

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Lycan's anxious mate

    Nox POVKeira stared at me with something resembling horror. Like it was utterly disgusting for someone like her to be fated to me, a lycan. The look caused a pang in my chest. Of course, the idea of being mated to my kind would horrify her. I knew and expected this reaction, so why did I feel annoyed and offended? Not only that, there was another deeply unpleasant feeling in my chest that I couldn't describe. "If we're mated, I... I would know!" She argued lamely. "No matter what you are, I would feel it too. What sort of game is this?"No matter what I was? She didn't consider me flesh and blood like her, did she?"You don't feel it because of what's wrong with you," I told her calmly. She moved away from me. I stifled the urge to reinforce our proximity by moving closer."You think you know me?" "Not really, not yet, but I know I'm right," I replied, hating both our tone. Moments ago, we'd been almost friendly. I detested the fact that she was withdrawing from me yet again."T

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Pride and other things

    Nox POVKeira was a hard worker. Efficient, too. She was focusing on her family business and did not seem bothered by my existence. I was highly bothered by her walking around like I didn't exist. I had spent the whole morning shamelessly following her about. I didn't bother peeking this time. There was no point. I'd let everyone know that I was watching and following her, hoping to earn a reaction.But she had not even spared me more than a few seconds' glance. The time flew by too fast, and Theo came to find me, reminding me of the pressing matters that demanded my immediate attention. At the same time, my phone rang. It was Conan, who had just delivered my message to the former members of Spring Moon Elders Council.Zoey Faust, who was not a former member but was grouped with them, had caved first, according to Conan. She was ready to meet me face to face and talk. I decided to return to the pack for now. Keira Gray didn't live at the Pine, I consoled myself. She would return to

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Outside the Pine

    Keira POVNox was here. Not just in the building, he was nearby. Every now and then, I would feel him watching me. Today was the first time he came in here since the day he handed the wine company back to me.My morning had been going on smoothly when I sensed him. I'd almost forgotten that my arrest could come at any time. Blame that on the fact that no one stopped me from leaving the building this morning. Not only that, Liam had been taken far away to be punished. All thoughts of my troubles at home were far from my mind. After Nox's cruel words to me, spying on me was the last thing I expected from him. So when I first spotted him, I thought he'd come to kick me out of here. Maybe he would order the warriors around to drag me back to my chamber. Or the prison he'd prepared.I'd spent every single minute of the early hours with the nagging thought that I could be escorted out of here any moment. But until the middle of the day, work continued to go on smoothly despite his watchful

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The King's Prince

    Nox POVI watched as Liam was escorted out of the building. He was not my primary reason for perching by the window of my office. Keira was passing through the foyer with Pavlov behind her. She stopped shot and stiffened as she sensed her ex far behind.The fact that she could feel him like that made my stomach turn. My father resumed talking, making me recall that I had the phone to my ear. I didn't hear the last thing he said."Nox!" He snapped."I'm right here, your majesty," I returned."Good. He is MY prisoner! Now, I know this goes without saying, but Ramos knows your scent quite well. He wouldn't mistake it for another."My fist tightened on the receiver. Apparently, King Cyrus could read minds. He knew what I was thinking. That was no surprise. He was the father who raised me, so I was more like him than anybody else. He knew me like the back of his hand. "If you go after the guy to murder him on the way, Ramos will know it's you no matter how you disguise yourself. And I w

    Keira POVI took the hand Ramos Vargas offered and was going to say welcome to my home but caught myself. "Nice to meet you, Mister Vargas," I said instead.Breakfast went on smoothly and seemed to be ending on a good note. No unpleasant talk came up. We were nearly done when the newcomer finally mentioned Liam."I feel like you ought to hear it from me," he said. "Actually, King Cyrus asked me to inform you personally as this is your household. I'm taking Liam Rudd to the Northside. We're leaving in a few minutes."My heart jerked as the news."He confessed to attempting high treason against the Prince," he went on. "That makes him an enemy of the North and the Lycan King's prisoner. Alpha Nox is not allowed to do him any more harm than he already did. The one who gave him the poison will face their punishment here. As soon as we find out who. But I've been asked to bring Liam with me immediately.""I see," I replied lamely, not knowing what else to say.I couldn't stomach the rest

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Awaiting a consequence

    Keira POVThis was the part where I defended myself and screamed that I had no part in Liam's plan. To tell him that I intended to refuse when next the talk came up.But I did not say a word. I would hate to sound defensive. I had every right to try to take back my pack, did I not?Even if I wanted to speak up right now, my throat was closed as a result of the pain caused by his words.I did not expect him not to retaliate the attempted attack. After all, he was a wolf. A mutant, but a wolf nonetheless. Revenge was part of his genetic makeup. Moments after he went out of my private chamber, I stood waiting. Pavlov or another warrior would barge in any moment to drag me to the dungeon below the building. I would be locked up with the others like a common criminal. In a pack where everyone called me Luna.My palms grew sweaty as I waited. Maybe they would take me to the Autumn Moon. I decided that would be better than being imprisoned here Hours or what felt like it went by, and nothi

    Keira POVWolfsbane and silver powder. If they found that among Liam's things, then surely, that was the poison he meant to use.Nox was waiting for my response. I searched for the words to dodge his question. When I opened my mouth, all I could say was,"Wolfsbane? Like the poison?""Yeah. Like the poison," Nox's tone was impatient and unrecognizable. I did not want to look at his face, so I kept my eyes on the tiny transparent bag in his hand. Then he closed his fist around it."I asked you a question, Keira," he said. "Or should I call you Kiki? Did you know he had this with him?""I..." My brain wouldn't work because of the way he was looking at me. Then, I grew annoyed at the intimidation. "You broke into our home, Nox!" How I hated the defensiveness in my voice. How I hated the fact that I was losing my composure."OUR home?" His eyes darkened with anger and something else that was too comfusing to name. "You're on his side, are you? In his possession is the same poison that'

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Luna's new routine

    Keira POVThe day was going too well it was suspicious considering all I had been through. There was only one thing wrong that balanced out the day. Nox was avoiding me. Avoid was the wrong term. He was staying away from me. After our chat three days ago, I'd considered going to see Liam again, but changed my mind. There was no need for that, and I had no idea what I would say to the ex. We also didn't have anything to talk about.Besides, I was very busy now as the person in charge of the winery. There were matters to address, and I didn't have time to see Liam Rudd and tell him plainly that I would not take part in his plan. He'd walked in on us that night. That should suffice.One pressing matter to deal with right now was Belle Faust and the fact that she was still avoiding me. That was not sustainable as she was in charge of sales and an important member of management.Because of her role in the company, dealing with her could not be helped. In fact, we had to work as closely as

    Nox POVThree days had passed since I talked to Keira. I had not gone near her even though I monitored all of her movements closely. I didn't trust myself to be near her without claiming what was rightfully mine now. My feelings had grown dangerously intense at some point after I learned of her divorce.The fact that she still worried about Liam Rudd was hard to deal with. Only one thing came to mind when I thought of that. To claim her until I was the only male she knew and thought about.Her divorce papers had been notarized and now sat before me on my desk. Her Elders Council no longer existed, so the Eastside Council, which was made up of werewolves from all four packs, was happy to certify the document. Felix, Conan and Morris, the lawyer, had represented the Spring Moon.I was staring at the divorce paper while recalling our last chat as I ran my hand through my hair. She hadn't talked back like before. She did not let her hostility show, but the look in her eyes spoke volumes.

    Nox POVLiam Rudd was not the criminal who had been feeding poison to Keira. He couldn't be. The timing was off. They got married a year ago. Long after the poisoning began. He was away from the pack a lot before they even got engaged. According to Doctors Servius and Ross, Keira had been injesting that poison for at least three years now. At the time, the fücking turd was still in school in some city doing his MBA. He was a bastard and a good-for-nothing cheating motherfücker, but he had no hand in the slow poisoning of his wife. Yet it gave me immense pleasure to torture him into telling me what I already knew. I watched with pleasure as the blood slid down his shoulder while the wound was sealing up. The pleasure vanished quickly to be replaced by the urge to inflict more pain. My stomach was in knots when I finally admitted to myself that he was, in fact, telling the truth. He was not the culprit!But then I knew he wasn't even before I entered his cell room to have this "cha
