Second Chance For The Broken Luna 3: Ritual Dance (2)
KristaWith every step, my heartbeat quickened, a nervous energy building inside me.The hallway echoed with the soft shuffle of our steps, and as I walked, I became acutely aware of the weight of the ritual we were about to perform. My heart did a somersault at the thought of standing beside Jacob, pretending to share a bond that had long since withered. The ritual dance, symbolizing the renewal of our vows, would be witnessed by every member of the pack. They would see us—Alpha and Luna, united, bound by love and devotion. They would see a lie.As we walked, Serah leaned close, her voice barely a whisper. “You’ll be perfect tonight, Luna. I just know it.”I forced a smile, nodding, though I could feel the ache in my chest deepen. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that I didn’t feel perfect. I didn’t feel strong. But tonight wasn’t about my feelings. It was about duty, about showing the pack that their leaders were unwavering and united, even if the truth was far messier.Finally,

KristaI stared at my reflection, willing the hollow look in my eyes to fade, forcing my lips to curve into a passable smile. But the result looked as tired and insincere as I felt inside. Tonight, of all nights, I couldn't afford to let my emotions slip through the cracks. Tonight was about duty, about tradition—and no matter how my stomach churned with anxiety, I had to perform.I splashed my face with cool water, closed my eyes, and took a deep breath. "Krista," I whispered to myself, bracing my hands on the edge of the sink. "You’ve been through worse. You can handle this." Opening my eyes, I tried smiling again, and though it wasn’t perfect, it was enough. With a final glance in the mirror, I steeled myself and called for my maids to help me dress.Two figures entered the room at once: Lyla and Serah. Lyla, always a little shy, bowed quietly, while Serah’s face broke into a wide grin. Serah and I had a bond that went beyond mere service; she had been more than a maid to me. Being

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. Who was I kidding? Jacob would never love me, not the way he loved Laurel. And yet here I was, preparing to renew our vows in front of the whole pack, pretending like everything was fine when it wasn’t.With a shaky breath, I pushed myself to my feet, leaning heavily on the sink as I washed my hands. The liquid soap felt cool against my skin, the scent of lavender doing little to soothe the storm raging inside me. I scrubbed my fingers hard, as though I could wash away the pain, the heartache, but it clung to me like a second skin.As I dried my hands, I turned toward the bedroom, my gaze immediately snagging on the dress hanging from the wardrobe. It was stunning, a masterpiece that had been

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 hands.“Luna, the menu for tonight—roast venison, herb-stuffed potatoes, and the fresh spring salad you requested—is that all still fine?” Her voice trembled slightly, her nervousness palpable.I nodded without much thought, managing a soft, “That’s fine,” though my mind was already somewhere else, already tangled in the stress of the night ahead. The maid quickly muttered her thanks and scurried off, leaving me standing in the entryway, watching the house staff dart back and forth like ants preparing for some monumental task.The sight of them moving with such urgency, reminded me of what tonight was — the Half Moon Feast. I felt my chest tighten, my breath hitching for a moment as the rea

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 seeing a human girl! They say he’s completely smitten and get this: he’s even thinking about rejecting his mate bond. Can you imagine the scandal? An Alpha’s son, turning down his fated mate for a human?”I widened my eyes again, though a pang of sadness twisted inside me at the mention of rejecting bonds. I forced myself to keep my expression neutral, nodding along as Greta continued her tale, weaving stories of forbidden romances and petty squabbles.I laughed and gasped at all the right moments, but my heart wasn’t in it. Her words washed over me, only half-heard, as my mind kept circling back to what she’d said earlier, about children, about heirs.She wasn’t wrong. The pack loved me, I kne

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 ache with something I didn’t want to name. I smiled despite myself, the sight of Greta's swollen belly and her frantic attempts to wrangle her sons filling me with a bittersweet longing.“Come back here this instant!” she cried, a hand resting on her lower back as she tried to waddle after them. The boys were having none of it, of course. They squealed and darted behind a bush, then reappeared just as quickly, tiny feet kicking up dust as they dodged around her.I quickened my steps, my heart warming at the sight of them. Greta’s eyes lit up with relief when she spotted me approaching, and I could see the gratitude in her gaze. I knew it wasn’t easy for her, carrying a child while her mate w
