Jacob

*

“You broke your mate bond recklessly because you said it was me you truly loved. Then the second your precious ex-mate comes back looking tragic, suddenly you’re chasing after her again while keeping me dangling behind you like some spare option.” Laurel said, voice dripping scorn. “You posture like you’re noble, but really, you’re just selfish. You want both of us because your ego can’t stand losing either one.”

“It’s heartening to see that you think so poorly of me, even after knowing

    Krista*“I don’t want to stay here any longer than you want me here,” I said honestly. “Everything happening right now is because the mate bond between Jacob and I wasn’t properly broken the first time.”Laurel snorted loudly. It was not a pleasant sound.“Gods,” she scoffed, shaking her head. “It’s almost admirable how committed all of you are to this story.” Her voice went sharp as she leaned forward slightly. “Do I look like I was born yesterday, Krista? Do you honestly expect me to swallow this bullshit?”Her rising temper rolled through the room in waves, but I refused to react to it. Instead, I carefully set the folded dress beside me and looked at her. “I don’t know what else to tell you. I–”“And that’s convenient, isn’t it?”I ignored the interruption. “I have no reason to lie to you,” I said calmly. “Surely you haven’t forgotten that I was Luna before. When Jacob broke the mate bond between us, I left without causing problems for anyone.”A mixture of bitterness and annoyan

    Krista*Apparently Serah remembered too because her expression immediately tightened. “Put that one back,” she said quickly.Bea blinked at her. “Why?”“It’s torn,” Serah lied smoothly.I almost snorted.Bea narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “Where?”“Somewhere.”“That is not an answer.”“It is enough of one.”Bea opened her mouth, clearly preparing to argue, but before she could, a knock sounded at my door. All three of us looked up. I straightened slightly against the headboard. Earlier, I had asked one of the kitchen servants through the pack link to bring refreshments upstairs, and I assumed that was who stood outside.“Come in,” I called.The door opened.And instead of a servant carrying tea or pastries, Laurel stepped into the room.My brows rose before I could stop them. Inside me, I felt my wolf stir instantly, alert and watchful.Well.This could not possibly end badly.Laurel closed the door softly behind her and her piercing gaze immediately swept across the room, taking in

    Krista*Serah held up an amber gown in both hands, turning it this way and that with the solemn concentration of someone presenting a royal treasure. The fabric shimmered softly where the afternoon light struck it, rich and stately, with intricate embroidery stitched along the sleeves and bodice. She lifted her brows expectantly at me, clearly pleased with her choice.I took one look at it and shook my head.Beside her, Bea immediately grimaced in agreement. “Absolutely not,” she declared, snatching the gown’s skirt between two fingers as if she was personally offended by it. “That style is at least three years old.”Serah looked scandalized. “It is elegant.”“It is ancient,” Bea corrected.I snorted softly despite myself. Truthfully, Bea and I were rejecting the gown for entirely different reasons. Bea cared about fashion and trends and all the things wealthy wolves whispered about during gatherings over wine glasses. I, however, cared about the fact that I had carried and birthed a

    Krista*“I have my wolf back now,” I said. “So it’s fine.”Even to my own ears, the sentence sounded brittle and false. Jacob opened his mouth again but panic surged through me before he could speak. “Can we not talk about it?” I asked hurriedly. Horrified, I heard the faint tremor entering my voice. I was going to cry. I couldn’t cry in front of him. I turned my face away from him immediately, staring into the darkness beyond the manor grounds so he would not see the wetness gathering in my eyes. “Let’s focus on something else. Anything else.”“Please,” I whispered.Silence settled between us. I could feel Jacob staring at me and I could feel the conflict inside him through the bond—guilt, restraint, sorrow.Then finally, after a long moment, he took a deep breath. “Alright,” he said quietly.Relief loosened something tight inside my chest. The two of us resumed walking slowly through the grounds, neither speaking for several seconds. Somewhere nearby, an owl hooted low in the dark

    Krista*I slowed my eating slightly. Beside me, Jacob noticed. “You want a second helping?” I looked down at my bowl, mildly surprised it was almost empty. “I think I’m too full for that.”“You still look hungry.”I glanced at him warily. “Are you planning to force-feed me now?”One corner of his mouth twitched. “I think you’d bite me if I tried.”The words landed strangely between us, because I had bitten him. My gaze flicked involuntarily to his chest before I could stop myself.Jacob noticed that too. For a brief moment, something unreadable passed through his eyes before he calmly took another bite of food.I focused stubbornly on my bowl. The silence that followed was not uncomfortable exactly, but it was heavy with things neither of us seemed willing to say aloud.I could feel the bond between us now, faint but undeniably there, a thread tied somewhere deep inside me, leading directly to him. It made me feel funny to acknowledge it. We were mates again.When we were finally do

    Krista*A strange thought occurred to me then: Had he been watching over me the entire time?I thought of him sitting in that chair night after night while I slept unconscious beside Luke, waiting and worrying. Something uncomfortable tightened in my chest. I quickly looked away before he could notice my expression.We reached the bottom of the stairs and Jacob guided me toward the kitchens. I expected the noise of servants bustling and pots clattering as we approached. Instead, the kitchens were completely empty.I blinked in surprise as we entered. There was not a single servant there. The great room didn’t even have a handful of lanterns lit. The massive hearth at the far end still radiated residual warmth, but otherwise the kitchens were quiet.I looked around in confusion. When Jacob had said he would get me food, I had naturally assumed he meant he would summon someone from the kitchen staff through the pack link. Surely the Alpha of the Red Moon pack was not planning to prepar

    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

    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,
