Keira POV

My maid bowed and left quickly. Once Nox and I were alone, I spoke quickly before he said anything,

"Why didn't you show up that night?"

I needed to know why he didn't show up on the full moon. Somehow, I knew there was more to his reasons than wanting to spite me. Perhaps he just didn't want me to know for sure if the bond existed between us.

"I was busy."

"Busy planning this attack, huh?"

"That. And other things."

"Well, you're here right now. And you have done everything I feared you would do! So it's safe to believe that I was right about you all along? We're not fated, Nox. It was all part of your TRICKS. Right?"

"You can believe what you want, Keira!"

"Why wait? Why did you go through the trouble of trying to seduce me? Trying to ruin my marriage?"

"There you go again, blaming me for your failures with that piece-of-shit bästard you call a husband. You never struck me as a blame-pusher, Keira. I guess looks really can be decieving! Did you often blame him, too? I'm su

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   A brief get-together

    Keira POVAs Liam approached from down the hallway, it occurred to me that I hadn't even thought much about him, considering the fact that he was my husband. The Jonas guy whom Nox mentioned had not yet come to show me the records of the dead.Yet I'd believed that the name Liam Rudd would be in that record and had not thought further than that. Apart from wondering when his mark would start to fade, of course. My hand unconsciously went up to my neck to touch the mark as he came closer. My heart warmed the way it used to when we first got together. The hate I felt from his betrayal was almost non-existent now. Either because of his imprint on my neck or because of all we'd been through these last few days. The fact that he was still alive was confusing. And he had a warrior with him, too, that moved like a bodyguard.He stood in front of me now as he murmured, "Hey, Kiki.""He didn't kill you," I remarked. Then, I realized that we had an audience. My gaze moved from Yara to the

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Mate vs husband

    Keira POVNox's expression was blank. His gaze moved to fix on Liam."Alpha Nox," Liam said in his business-like voice. "You're in the Luna's chamber.""So are you!" Nox replied in a low, threatening voice.Liam moved to go outside, but he stood in his way, not stepping aside from the doorway. As I watched the two, I could not help but compare and contrast. Nox's broader shoulders, the thick curls that flowed to his shoulders, and those eyes like purple sapphire were a stark contrast to Liam's not-so-broad stature and pale blue eyes. Liam's neatly cut blonde hair suddenly seemed almost ordinary beside Nox's dark burgundy hair. I did my best to ignore how small and insignificant the ex-husband now seemed.Liam Rudd used to be the most handsome male in the pack. At least, I used to think so, and I was not alone in that opinion. The silence continued as Nox stood in Liam's way. I began to wonder what would happen next. Then he spoke finally."You're a guest here, Liam Rudd."The words

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Casual dinner with his Luna

    Nox POVI tried not to stare. But Keira's low neck blouse and the way it hugged her perfectly made it impossible. She knew I was staring, but I was sure she thought the mark alone held my interest. Without looking in the mirror, I knew my eyes were a reddish purple now. My beast, Orion, was close to the surface, but I was in control.She gave me a single glance, then refocused on the meal before her. Why did I make her join me for dinner again? I couldn't remember, so I decided to keep my focus on the food, too.The fact that she wasn't complaining anymore was suspicious. When I mentioned dinner the first time, she'd declined. When they went to get her, I expected protest. I imagined that I may have to go there myself and threaten her. But that was not the case. She'd agreed quietly. I found it slightly irritating. Because she had just been reunited with that sonovabitch husband of hers. He had to be the reason she appeared calm now. What exactly did he say to her?"What did you a

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The doctors' advise

    Keira POVI was done with the meal. The little appetite that I came out with had now vanished. My food was only half finished."Eat up, Keira!" Nox ordered firmly. "We don't want to keep them waiting.""I may be your prisoner, but you don't own my body!" I said.His face became expressionless. Eyes like purple sapphire held mine without blinking. I suddenly recalled the last time we met in the woods. This was the same look he'd given me. Then it hit me. That moment was the day he decided to bring battle to my pack. I was sure of it. The feeling of Aria stirring inside me returned, making me shift in my seat. I looked away from him, picking up the wine glass in front of me."Becareful what you say to me, Luna Keira," he said at last, his voice calm and without malice."I remember how you begged me to stop thinking you're my enemy-""And you didn't listen, so here we are!" He cut in harshly. "Now wrap it up with this meal. The doctors are waiting!" He wiped his mouth, tossed the napkin

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Luna's friends

    Keira POVAt the announcement, Nox's eyes returned to me. He lifted a brow as he spoke."Is that so?" "Yes, Alpha," Justin replied.Those guys were the warriors whose presence I'd hoped and prayed would prevent any trouble with Alpha Nox. They were here now, but they came too late. Or did they?What could they do possibly do now? The battle was long over, and my family legacy was in the hands of the enemy. The fact that the warrior was announcing their presence meant that they were here as guests. Not to make any kind of trouble with the new Alpha."Those are your friends from the Midnight Moon, huh?" Nox taunted. "But you won't be needing them anymore, so what do we tell them?"I glared at him."Relax! I'll be courteous and let them in, at least."Then he ordered the warrior to send them in. Once the warrior left and we were alone again, he watched me with an unreadable expression. I didn't have the energy to engage in question and answer, so I waited in silence with him till he m

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Luna's rival

    Keira POVBelle Faust. I hadn't even given her a single thought. Hadn't wonder for a second whether she was dead or alive. Why should I? Not only did she betray me on a personal level but her mother was among the traitors that sold the pack to Nox."You sent for me, Alpha Nox," she said. Nox's focus switched from me to her in an instant. At the same time, I couldn't help but noticed the redness of her lips and the length of her dress. She seemed rather dressed up. Why?It was past dinner. Nox and I had just ate together. If not, I would've thought he had invited her over for dinner."We'll talk in my study," Nox said to her. Then he gestured for the warrior to lead her there.I willed her to look my way. She had managed to avoid me from the day I caught her with Liam until now. If she looked my way, I could check for guilt. Maybe that would make me feel better. But she didn't give me a single look. She moved past like I was not standing there. A minute ago, that was something she

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Beta's hot take

    Nox POVBelle Faust and I had just finished going over some of the major accounts at the Pine. Apparently, she was in charge of sales here, and they had a lot of big clients outside town. We still couldn't go over the entire list yet.Some very important procedures depended on her at the company. Theo was secretly working on changing that. Thankfully, she wasn't killed or seriously injured during the battle. Once our meeting was over, Theo and Mario entered as she was leaving my office.The latter was not my number two man. But I appointed him as the Chief Warrior here in Spring Moon. He sat across from me beside Theo, shifting in his seat. I knew he had a special report from the look he kept giving me.I allowed him to take his time while I laid out instructions regarding security at the wine factory. My Beta also noticed his odd demeanor and seemed to be waiting for me to point it out.Once I was done briefing him, he stood up hesitantly to go when I said,"Say what's on your mind

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Ex husband's plan

    Keira POVThe warrior assigned to watch me was not as bad as I thought. For someone who belonged with the enemy camp, he was quite accommodating, respectful and thoughtful.Pavlov. That was his name.When I mentioned that I needed to get some fresh air, he'd shocked me by being sympathetic. Then he'd asked me to give him time to talk to his bosses.I assumed he was referring to the new chief warrior here, if not Alpha Nox. If my senses were right, the latter was not nearby. He hadn't been around since the early hours of this morning.I waited for a positive response while filling my time with books. At least, I was allowed as far as my library. Pavlov was always nearby watching, never showing himself unless I started to walk too fast or towards where they didn't want me to go.I sat quietly in the library now, skimming over an old magazine. Suddenly, he appeared, a soft look in his eyes. I knew that he had good news from his boss."How much longer do you need to read?" He asked gentl

  • 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

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Luna's update

    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

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Partners in crime

    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.

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Alpha to alpha

    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
