Krista

*

I pushed open the door to Jacob’s room and paused on the threshold, my shoulders loosening almost immediately when I saw that it was empty. For a moment, I simply stood there, letting that small sense of relief settle. Now that I was fully awake, there was no reason for me to remain here.

It had been one thing when I was unconscious and had no say in where I was placed, but staying now, by choice, felt… wrong and improper in a way I could not ignore. Whatever history Jacob and I shared

  • Second Chance For The Broken Luna   45: The Seer Speaks (1)

    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

    Jacob*This version of Krista — the one who looked at me with cool detachment and barely concealed hostility — would not tolerate staying in my space any longer than necessary, not when she had a choice.Still, a quiet sigh escaped me before I could stop it. Disappointment lit up in me briefly, uninvited and unwelcome. I frowned slightly, the expression directed more at myself than anything else. That was absurd. I had no right to feel that way, no right to expect her to remain here, in a place that would only remind her of everything I had taken from her.I had made my choices. This was one of the consequences.I walked further into the room, my gaze lingering on the coat for a moment longer before I turned away from it. I moved closer to the bed without quite meaning to, my steps slowing as my gaze dropped to the rumpled sheets. I saw it a faint indentation remained in the mattress, the shape of where she had lain unconscious for days. The blankets were still slightly gathered the

    Jacob*By the time we reached the edge of my territory, the light had already begun to soften, the sun dipping lower in the sky and casting long shadows across the ground. The trees at the border stood tall and quiet, their leaves shifting gently in the breeze, but there was nothing peaceful about

    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
