Second Chance For The Broken Luna 45: The Seer Speaks (4)
Jacob*Neither Krista nor I interrupted.“But for now,” Lenore continued, looking directly at Krista, “our priority must be drawing your wolf out.”Krista frowned faintly.Lenore’s expression softened. “She has retreated deeply within you because she remains wounded. Angry and embittered.” Her gaze slid briefly toward me. “And she does not trust the Alpha.”A pulse of guilt hit me again, sharp and familiar.“If she can be coaxed out,” Lenore continued gently, “then there is hope.”Krista looked wary. “Hope for what exactly?”“For reconciliation,” Lenore answered simply. “Not necessarily between you and the Alpha as people.” Her smile turned faintly knowing. “But between you and your wolf.”I watched Krista process those words carefully.Lenore folded her hands together again. “Your wolf must be made to feel safe enough to emerge fully. Only then can you speak with her properly. Only then can she decide whether she is willing to release the bond.”The enormity of the task settled heav

Jacob *This changed everything. Not just for me, but for Laurel. For the pack. For the future I had spent years trying to force into existence after destroying the one fate had given me.Krista looked horrified now. She pushed herself to her feet abruptly and took several steps away from Lenore, dragging a hand through her hair.“This is insane,” she whispered. But I could hear it in her voice that she believed the Elder, or at least feared she might be right.I became dimly aware that my own breathing had gone shallow. My mind kept circling back to the same realization over and over again. The bond had never truly ended.In the back of my mind, my wolf spoke at last, his voice grim. That means we have a problem. I swallowed hard. Because Krista cannot even feel her wolf anymore.Almost immediately, Krista voiced the exact same fear aloud. “But I can’t even sense her,” she said, turning back toward Lenore. “I haven’t been able to shift properly since that night. My senses are dulled

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

Krista*She glanced toward the door, then back at me, her expression uncertain. For a moment, it looked as though she might refuse to answer. Then, in a low voice, she said, “If I tell you what happened… you can’t repeat that it came from me. Please.”I pushed myself to my feet immediately, the be

Krista*“No,” she said, lowering her voice slightly. “After you left earlier, I told my friend, Serah, that you were awake.” She glanced at me briefly before continuing. “She’s the one who usually comes in here,” Bea added. “A few times a week, even though technically no one is supposed to come in

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.

Jacob*I rubbed my jaw slowly as I considered everything Sophia had laid out so far. The pieces were beginning to form a pattern, one that was far more deliberate than I was comfortable with. After a moment, I said, “You’ve been speaking about these spies in the past tense. I assume that means you
