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-motion.

Jacob’s rebuke was immediate. “Leah.” His tone was firm, warning. “She just woke up. Don’t—”

“It’s alright.” My voice came out patient, in that tone I reserved for Luke when he was being exhausti

    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 the weakness creeping through my limbs.I told myself it was nothing. A momentary lapse. I had never quite felt like myself since we had escaped those enemy wolves, but it was nothing more than exhaustion, and the stress of being on the move so constantly these past few days. But the closer we got to Red Moon’s borders, the heavier my body felt and the more sluggish my steps became. I ignored it, pushed forward. One foot in front of the other. One night in a proper bed and I would feel alive again.The others walked ahead and beside me—Kenan, Jacob, and Jacob’s warriors, all silent except for the occasional murmurs between Jacob’s warriors as they sighted the pack grounds ahead. The tension b

  • Second Chance For The Broken Luna   32: Don’t Forget

    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 herself, but truly silent when it came to me. Not one snarky remark. Not one glare. Not one single word.She spoke to Kenan. She spoke to Luke. Even to my warriors when necessary. Leah, Mari, the lot of them. But me? Nothing.I should have felt victorious. After all, in two days, we would reach Red Moon Territory, and whether she had openly agreed or not, Krista was coming with us. That meant she would be safe, no longer wandering alone with Kenan and a child while Goddess knew who was hunting her down.That should have been enough. But instead, there was only a mild sense of… disappointment.I glanced toward the tree line where she and Kenan had disappeared over an hour ago. We need to talk, she

    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 family is in.” His golden eyes flicked to Luke, still asleep in my arms, then to Kenan, who was still seated beside me, watching him carefully. Finally, his gaze landed on me. “Luke is just a child. Kenan is greatly injured. He can’t even shift right now. And you?” His voice dipped lower. “You’re no better than a human yourself.”My entire body locked up at his words. I had spent years living as a wolf without a wolf. I had endured being weaker than the people I once stood beside. But hearing Jacob say it so bluntly, like my worth had been reduced to nothing more than a liability, sent a rush of heat through my veins.I snapped back before I could think twice. “Take a wild guess whose fault th

Don’t—”“It’s alright.” My voice came out patient, in that tone I reserved for Luke when he was being exhausting. “She was going to ask sooner or later. You all were.”A muscle in Jacob’s jaw twitched, but he didn’t argue.I shifted slightly, adjusting Luke in my lap as he slept soundly against me, his small hands curled into the fabric of my tunic. My fingers instinctively stroked his soft curls as I met Leah’s expectant stare. “The truth is…” I hesitated, searching for the right words. “I don’t know how I did it.”Leah’s brows furrowed.I shrugged, shaking my head. “I wasn’t even aware something like

    Krista*I woke with a start, my body aching as though I had been trampled by a thousand stampeding wolves. My mind was foggy, heavy, and for a terrifying second, I couldn’t remember where I was. It was dark, so dark that for a moment, panic clawed up my throat. My breaths came quick and sharp as my hands scrambled at the ground beneath me. The rough feel of a pallet registered under my fingertips, but it wasn’t enough to ease my distress.Where was Luke? Where was Kenan?I sat up too fast, the motion sending a sharp pang through my skull, but I barely noticed it. I was already reaching out, desperate to find something familiar. And then, just as my heart was about to tear itself apart from the sheer force of my terror, my fingers brushed against warmth. A small, curled-up body lay beside me, chest rising and falling in steady rhythm. Luke.A choked sigh of relief rushed out of me as I gathered him up, cradling him against me. He was warm. Alive. I pressed a shaky kiss against his hai

    Krista*"You don’t need my help, Krista." My wolf’s voice was unbothered, even as my world threatened to collapse around me.I could barely breathe. My pulse was pounding, my entire body screaming at me to move, to do something, but I couldn’t. Jacob and Luke were seconds away from being ripped apart, and my wolf was speaking in riddles."What are you talking about?" My voice was raw, desperate. "I don’t have time for this—just help me!"A sly look entered her golden eyes. She tilted her head, a slow, knowing smile curling her lips. "Why do you think you need me?"I blinked at her, my heart hammering as if it wanted to burst out of my chest. "Because I can’t stop this! I can’t get to them in time!""Who said you needed to get there?""What?!"Her gaze flicked toward the wolf mid-leap, its monstrous body sailing through the air, fangs bared and glistening. I was too far away. Jacob didn’t see it. I was going to lose my son."Tell me, Krista," she mused, her voice smooth as silk. "What
