Krista*“Let go of me!” I whisper-yelled, my heart pounding furiously as I looked around for any witnesses to me being carried like a sack of potatoes.“Careful,” Jacob said, gripping me tighter as he heads towards the stairs. “You wouldn’t want the others to see you like this.”Making a fist, I angrily pounded against his back once then twice, but he did not set me down. As he arrived at our room, I thanked the Goddess Nathan and Fisher had been dismissed earlier. Jacob set me down and locked the door behind him before going to stand near the window, his back to me. My eyes narrowed; this behavior activated my own defensive rage. Rubbing my wrist angrily, I said, “What exactly was that nonsense?”The muscles in Jacob’s shoulders flexed under his suit jacket. For one long moment, he did not answer me. Moonlight spilled through the tall windows behind him, silvering the hard line of his jaw and the dark fall of his hair. He stood rigidly still, breathing once through his nose like he

Krista*I barked out a startled laugh, genuinely amused despite myself. “Goddess,” I said, shaking my head. “Do all Alphas speak like characters from bad romance books?”“Only when confronted with extraordinary women.”“That was somehow even worse.”“And yet you’re smiling.”The wine warming my veins certainly was not helping matters. Still smiling faintly, I lifted my glass to my lips again but before I could drink, Asher leaned closer.One hand braced itself against the wall beside my head, effectively caging me between his arm and the corridor wall without quite touching me. I blinked up at him. The scent of wine wrapped around me. Asher’s gaze dropped to my mouth.Then teasingly, he asked, “I’m tempted to kiss you. Will you let me?”My breath caught for half a second from surprise.Bold little fool.I opened my mouth to tell him I was not interested in him, that flattering attention aside, he was very much barking up the wrong tree, but before a single word could leave me, a fist

Krista*I took the offered glass back with appreciation. “Thank you.”He lifted his mug slightly toward me in a silent toast. I obliged him with my own and the rims clinked softly together. Then I raised the wine to my lips. The first sip nearly melted the tension from my shoulders instantly. A sigh escaped me before I could stop it. The Alpha looked absurdly pleased with himself.“There,” he said smugly. “You see? Theft occasionally benefits society.”I laughed under my breath again.The blond Alpha studied me openly over the rim of his mug before speaking again. “What brings you out here, Luna Krista?”Then his eyes flicked deliberately toward my wine glass. “Surely it cannot only be the alcohol.”I paused, a bolt of fear suddenly spearing through me. Cautiously, I asked, “How did you know my name?” The man grinned, entirely at ease even as I stared at him warily. “I saw you the evening you arrived,” he said. “And besides, who does not know the Alpha and Luna of the Red Moon pack?”

Krista*Luna Misha’s voice drifted through the terrace again, deceptively casual.“Tell us, Luna Krista,” she said. “Should we consider your return to the Red Moon Pack permanent?”Before I could answer, Luna Bella piped up with false innocence. “Or are you and Alpha Jacob merely playing house for Alpha Magnus’ Final Farewell?”This was a deliberate trap. I could not deny it too quickly or I would sound defensive. Clever.I let the silence stretch just long enough to make them uncomfortable. “You all seem far more interested in my circumstances than I am.”Luna Misha let out a strained laugh. “Perhaps we are,” she admitted. “But who can blame us? It’s quite romantic, really. A former mate returning unexpectedly after all these years.”Romantic? I nearly choked on my wine. As if the mate bond rejection had been some sweeping love story instead of one of the most agonizing experiences of my life.Luna Misha stepped closer. “You should forgive our curiosity,” she continued. “Most wolves

Krista*I could feel eyes tracking them.My wolf snorted. You’re fresh meat now.Ignoring her, I took a slow sip of wine and quietly slipped away from the ballroom before anyone could intercept me. The terrace doors stood open, letting in cool night air. I stepped outside gratefully, the sounds of music and conversation dulling behind me.The fresh air was a relief. I rested my hands lightly against the stone balustrade and looked out over the Nightwalker grounds below.Several wolves danced around a massive bonfire in the courtyard, their movements graceful under the moonlight. Drums pounded steadily while flutes threaded through the night air with haunting sweetness. The fire painted gold across spinning bodies and mourning grey clothes.The contrast was strange. Hours ago, those same wolves had wept openly while watching Alpha Magnus burn upon his funeral pyre.Now they danced, celebrating his life and honoring his passage. There was something beautiful and heartbreaking about it

Krista*Beside me, Jacob leaned slightly closer.“Ready?” he whispered. His breath brushed my ear, warm enough to make my stomach tighten.I lifted my chin and answered lightly, “As I’ll ever be.”Then we stepped into the room together. At once, the chatter reduced enough that I felt the weight of every eye turning toward us.The ballroom was magnificent. Crystal chandeliers hung overhead like dripping stars, their light glittering across marble floors. Wolves in colorful attires clustered in groups under towering arches. Servants threaded silently through the crowd carrying silver trays laden with wine.And every single person was staring at us. At me.I let a beatific smile curve my lips as if I had not noticed, as though I had walked into rooms like this every day for the past two years instead of hiding in a human settlement trying not to be found.A servant passed nearby carrying drinks and Jacob smoothly plucked two glasses of golden wine from the tray before handing one to me.

KristaWhat had I expected? That Jacob would magically fall in love with me just because we’d spent a few years married? That he would look at me one day and suddenly see me, really see me, instead of the shadow I’d become in his life?I let out a bitter laugh, though it sounded more like a sob. Wh

KristaAs I entered the house, the door creaked softly behind me, though the faint murmur of activity throughout the manor drowned out any noise I made. Before I could even take another step, one of the maids rushed toward me, her face flushed with anxiety as she fumbled with a small notepad in her

Krista“And then there’s Liam,” she said, her tone dripping with drama. “I heard he’s been sneaking off to the human town again. You know what that means, don’t you?”I raised an eyebrow, leaning in just enough to show I was invested. “What does it mean?”Greta’s voice dropped even lower. “He’s see

KristaI watched from a distance as Greta chased after her three boys, her voice carrying on the wind, strained and full of exhaustion. They were darting in every direction, little whirlwinds of energy, their laughter ringing out in the warm afternoon air. It was a familiar scene, one that made me
