Yet, within the realm of dreams, an unexpected connection stirred.A gentle voice echoed through the corridors of Luna's mind, like a melody intertwining with her thoughts.

He inquired about the reasons that prompted her to venture to Blackmoon, a realm they had once freed from the clutches of a sinister group.

"Luna's Nocturnal Vigil, The Meeting Of Harmony"The moon cast a subtle glow over the Nampa landscape as Luna, the Alpha, returned from her journey to Blackmoon.

LunaThe idiot just stared at me, blinking.“What?” he asked, a weird smile overtaking that ridiculously handsome face I’d dreamed about every damn night since he’d “died.”To my abject horror, tears of frustration burned behind my eyelids.Oh, no. No way. I’m not shedding one more goddamn tear over this. No.But the throb of the golden arch over his heart was impossible to ignore in Leo’s presence, our mate bond unmistakable, even after all this time. He wasn’t dead, and I was elated—and simultaneously horrified.“What. Are. You. Doing. Here?” I asked again, this time through clenched teeth, enunciating every word deliberately.“Am I in your way?” he drawled cockily without a hint of shame.Dumbfounded, I gaped at him for a second. He looked so different than the last time I’d seen him and yet the same. Like me, he hadn’t aged a day in two centuries, his light sepia skin smooth but for the scruff that indicated a few days of travel. The green of his eyes pierced into my soul, bringi
LeoBefore the redhead had appeared, I’d had my foot halfway out the door, determined to return to Seven Rock where I belonged… at least in part. Despite her icy cold reception, the pull I had toward her told me that I was in the right place, at least for the moment.Does she know me?She certainly acted like she did, but gauging by the way she talked and acted, she didn’t like me very much.I watched her disappear into the back of the diner, tempted to chase after her, but after what had happened at the last place, I didn’t want to push my luck. I could handle myself, but without having a proper handle on this city and the underlying animus surrounding me, I decided to leave her.I had the distinct sense that I would see her again, however. I wasn’t going anywhere yet.I paid my tab to the waitress who was considerably less flirty now, her gaze averted as she took my money, even with the handsome tip. I noticed she went out of her way to avoid touching me.“What did you mean earlier
LunaThe shock of seeing Leo affected the rest of my afternoon. I paced through the little house I’d lived in for over a hundred years, unable to clear my mind of the way my soulmate had looked at me.The attraction was just as deep and pulsating for me as it had ever been, the pull on the golden arch over my heart painful, yearning and screaming at me to go back to him. I hated that it still existed, the shock of the soulmate symbol still in existence even though I had been rejected, and he was supposed to be dead!Who had I been fooling by thinking I’d ever really been over him?Sweat broke out over my forehead, panic seizing my lungs.Leo—my mate—had come back from the dead, or at least pretending to be dead. But he sure as hell couldn’t stay in Nampa City. Orson would lose his mind.Or was that Leo’s plan? Was he back to take back his empire from Orson?None of it made sense. If Leo hadn’t disappeared in the first place, Orson never would have taken over his businesses. And to wai
LeoIt was as good a place as any to drink since I had no other plans. There were rooms upstairs, according to the sign attached to the clapboard outside, and the inside had only a sprinkling of patrons, none of whom paid me any mind. So far, it was the most promising place I’d been since arriving in Nampa City.“How much Wi-Fi are you gonna use?” the bartender asked when I requested a room.“How much what?”“Wi-Fi. Internet. You're gonna stream or play games or what?”I stared at him blankly.“Oh, good lords, you one of them dweller types, ain’t you?” he sniffed. “You from Forny?”My expression must have once more displayed my complete lack of understanding because he slapped a single key on the counter, the plastic attachment displaying the number three upon it.“Seventy-five for the night. If you rent porno, you pay in advance. That means, you come down here and pay at the counter, in advance. You hear?”I snorted. “I’m not renting porn.”“Uh-huh. That’s what they all say until the
