Second Chance For The Broken Luna 45: The Seer Speaks (2)
Jacob *Krista shrugged, but it was a brittle motion. “I was hurt,” she said simply at first. Then, after a pause, “Like any mate would feel if they were suddenly…discarded.”My jaw tightened at that word.She exhaled through her nose, a short, controlled breath. “And angry. More than a little angry.”Her eyes flicked up briefly, not quite meeting mine, then away again. “I already know why he did it,” she added quickly, almost as if she didn’t want silence to stretch and swallow the room. “Jacob explained his predicament when we met in Eldeg. And I told him then what I’ll tell you now, Elder Lenore – I’ve forgiven him. Truly.”The words were firm, like something she had repeated enough times that it should have become truth by now. My wolf stirred at that. Krista’s hands tightened slightly in her lap. “Life after leaving the Red Moon pack wasn’t easy,” she continued, voice lowering. “I was a lone wolf, which made me easy prey for rogues, opportunists… people who can smell weakness t

Jacob*As I approached the grove, I spotted Krista immediately.She stood just outside the entrance under the shade of the trees, pacing slowly with her hands folded together. She wore a simple dress that hugged her waist before falling softly to her ankles, practical enough for movement but still undeniably feminine. Her hair had been pulled back into a ponytail, though several loose strands framed her face and stirred gently in the breeze.She looked uneasy. Not frightened exactly, but restless in a way I recognized from years ago. Krista could never stay still when her thoughts became too loud for her to sit through. The sight of her waiting there stirred something warm and dangerous inside my chest.At the sound of my footsteps, she looked up and our gazes met briefly. Then, almost immediately, she looked away again. A faint flush colored her cheeks. My mouth nearly curved into a smile. She was thinking about the kiss, and the realization pleased me far more than it should have.

Jacob*Why did every instinct in me resist revealing what Sophia had shared? I thought again of the Rogue King, of his spies hidden in plain sight. Of Sophia’s warning to trust no one unless I was absolutely certain of their loyalty. Laurel is not no one, I told myself.And yet hesitation still coiled stubbornly inside me. I opened my mouth before I could think myself into further silence. “The Nightwalker pack was attacked during a celebration,” I said at last.Laurel froze. I watched shock spread visibly across her face. “What?”“The rogues attacked during a mating celebration,” I continued grimly. “Several wolves were injured. Alpha Magnus was severely wounded.”Her hand flew immediately to her mouth. “Alpha Magnus?” she repeated in disbelief. I nodded once. For a moment, Laurel simply stared at me. Genuine horror filled her expression now, wiping away the earlier tension between us. The reaction eased something faintly in my chest, though not entirely.“Oh, Goddess,” she whispere

Jacob*I stood by the window of my study, my hands clasped loosely behind my back as I stared out across the pack lands stretching beyond the manor. From here, I could see the training grounds in the distance, several warriors moving through drills under the sharp eye of their commander. Beyond that lay the forests that bordered our territory, dense and deceptively calm beneath the afternoon light.Ordinarily, the sight steadied me. Today, it did not.Ever since Sophia’s visit, a sense of unease had lodged itself under my skin and refused to leave. Every time I looked at my lands now, I could only think about how somewhere within all of it was a traitor. The thought soured my mood all over again.I had just finished a meeting with the head of my patrol teams, revising border rotations and tightening security around the manor. Later tonight, I would meet with the Elders to discuss increasing surveillance within the territory without causing panic among the pack.The challenge was that

Jacob*“Let me go,” she snapped immediately, her voice sharp with fury as she twisted against my hold.I tightened my grip instinctively, not enough to hurt her, but enough to keep her from breaking free.“Calm down,” I said but the words sounded almost useless against the storm she had brought into the room.She jerked against me, trying to wrench her hands free, but I held firm. For a brief moment, I thought I had contained her outburst. I was wrong. She dove forward without warning. Before I could anticipate it, her mouth found my neck, right where it met my shoulder, and she bit down hard.A sharp hiss tore from my throat at the sudden pain, my grip loosening on instinct. The sensation was immediate and intense, her teeth sinking into skin. “Damn it.”The moment my hold faltered, she took advantage of it. Her arm came up again, aiming for another strike, but this time I was ready. I shifted quickly, my hand sliding from her wrist to her waist as I used the momentum of her movemen

Jacob*The sound of it sliding into place drew my attention immediately.I raised a brow, studying her more closely now. “What’s the matter?” I asked, my tone even, though I remained aware of the tension radiating off her in waves.She took a step closer, her hands already curled into fists at her sides. “How dare you,” she said, her voice low but vibrating with anger. The words were sharp enough to cut. “How dare you harm Serah?”It took me a second, not because I did not understand the words, but because I had not expected this to be the reason she stormed into my room like this. Then it clicked. The incident with Serah from weeks ago resurfaced clearly, along with the memory of my own temper at the time.Krista did not wait for me to respond. “How dare you punish her like that,” she continued, her voice rising slightly now. “For something so small?”I straightened a fraction, my expression settling into something more composed as I met her gaze. “Disrespect towards me is not a sma

Krista*The journey from Eldeg had been long and at this point, it felt endless. My arms ached from holding Luke, but I refused to set him down. He was warm and solid nestled in my grasp, his small arms wrapped trustingly around my neck. His weight in my arms gave me something to focus on beyond t

Jacob*The past week had been a slow, dragging torture. Not because Krista was fighting me at every turn. No, that would have been better. At least then, she would have been talking to me. Looking at me. Acknowledging me.Instead, she had gone quiet. Not just quiet in the sense of keeping to herse

Krista *Jacob stiffened at my words, his broad shoulders going rigid like I had struck a nerve. His dark eyes burned into mine, unreadable. He exhaled sharply before replying, his voice low but firm.“It’s a hell of a lot better than venturing into the world alone. Especially in the state your fa

Krista*I felt the weight of Leah’s gaze even before she spoke. Her voice cut through the low crackling of the fire, curious but sharp. “How did you do it?”The murmured conversation around the fire stilled as all eyes turned toward me. Even Kenan, who had been tending to the flames, froze mid-mot
