ONCE A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE LUNA NOW THE DEMON ALPHA'S BRIDE THE DREAM
STELLA."Are you sure you don't want to tell Mama tonight?"I shook my head as I pulled the blanket over myself."No. We agreed to tell her in the morning."Mira sat on the edge of the bed, watching me with that look she got whenever she thought I was hiding something."I just don't want you to keep carrying this alone.""I know." She reached for my hand and squeezed it, her fingers warm against mine."We'll figure it out, Stella. Whatever it is, we'll figure it out together." I managed a small smile. "I hope so." She leaned forward and kissed my forehead before standing."Get some sleep. You look exhausted.""So do you.""I'm allowed to be exhausted. I'm the one who has been listening to you worry all evening." I laughed quietly, the sound softer than I'd meant it to be. "Goodnight, Mira.""Goodnight." She crossed the room and climbed into her own bed, and within a few minutes the room settled into silence. I stared up at the ceiling, listening to the small sounds of the house, the c

DAMIEN.My StellaI nodded, and the Shaman chuckled."It seems she has accomplished what years of treatment could not.""She has done more than that."I looked toward the window again, and I couldn't wait for her to come back. After the examination, the Shaman retreated to his chambers, and I stayed in the sitting room, trying to lose myself in the documents I had neglected since morning. It was harder than it should have been. My attention kept drifting toward the entrance, and every time I heard footsteps in the corridor I found myself looking up, only to be disappointed that none of them belonged to Stella.When the Shaman finally returned, he was carrying a stack of records and several loose documents, which he set down on the table."I also have something important to discuss with you, Alpha."I leaned back in my chair. "What is it?""The Raventooth pack."My expression changed. Finally.The Shaman took the chair opposite mine and began arranging his papers."I spent the last mon

DAMIEN"You have been pacing all over the place, Alpha. You need to remain calm. She will be back soon." I stopped in the middle of the room and turned to glare at the Shaman."And how exactly am I supposed to do that?"He raised an eyebrow. "She has only been gone for a few hours.""A few hours too many." The Shaman sighed, looking thoroughly unimpressed with my behaviour. "You should try to occupy yourself with something useful instead of wearing out the floor.""I should have gone with her.""And frightened her family half to death?"I narrowed my eyes at him, but he carried on before I could say anything."You know very well that she wanted to spend some time with them alone. You agreed to it, Alpha. Perhaps you should respect her wishes."I turned toward the windows and let the silence settle. Stella had insisted on visiting her mother and sister without me, saying the presence of the Alpha King would make the reunion unnecessarily intimidating, and I still didn't understand why.
ONCE A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE LUNA NOW THE DEMON ALPHA'S BRIDE WHAT AM I?
STELLA.I immediately regretted raising my voice, but the fear had already taken over. "What if word gets out?" I continued, my voice trembling. "What if someone discovers what I can do? They'll kill me, Mira. And what happens to you and Mama? What if they decide you're dangerous too?""Stella—""You know what happens to people whose powers have no label. You know what they do to those they don't understand."My eyes burned."I was the reason we were chased out of our own pack. I was the reason we lost our home. What if it happens again? What if I bring that same misery here?"I looked toward the hallway. Mama was asleep. She had spent so much of her life worrying about us, and she deserved peace. She deserved to wake up without wondering whether someone was coming to take her daughters away."I don't want to ruin her life again," I whispered.Mira moved closer and took my face between her hands."Look at me."I tried to turn away, but she held me gently."Stella, look at me."I final

STELLAMira's eyes widened, and the color drained from her face so quickly it frightened me."What?"I lowered my head, unable to hold her gaze. "Alpha Derek." She stared at me as though she hadn't heard correctly, as though the name itself had been something impossible I'd made up."Stella…""I know." "No, I don't think you understand." She moved closer, her voice barely above a whisper. "You used the Voice on Alpha Derek?"I nodded. Her mouth opened, but no words came out immediately. She glanced toward the hallway, then back at me."What are we going to do now?"I looked at her helplessly. "I don't know.""What if he comes after us? What if he tells someone what happened? Stella, he's an Alpha! What if he thinks you deliberately attacked him?""I don't know, Mira!"My voice came out louder than I intended. I immediately covered my mouth and glanced toward Mama's room. Mira reached for my hand."Okay. Okay, I'm sorry. Just calm down."But how was I supposed to calm down? I felt as t

STELLAMy hands began to tremble. No. I wasn't going to lose control in front of Derek. I took a slow breath and tried to calm myself."Derek," I said again.He tilted his head. "What?"I stared directly into his eyes, and for the first time since he'd grabbed me, I stopped trying to sound polite. I stopped trying to reason with him. I stopped calling him Alpha."LET ME GO." The words came out differently. They weren't louder than before, but something about them changed the instant they left my mouth. The room seemed to hold its breath. Every candle went out, all at once, plunging the room into a darkness so complete I couldn't see my own hands.Derek made a startled sound. "What the—"His arms loosened. I felt his body sway, and then he stumbled backward, knocking into the edge of the table. Something crashed to the floor.I stood frozen for a fraction of a second. What had I done? My heart pounded violently. I could barely make out Derek's shape, one hand braced against the table w
