Krista

*

I woke to the persistent sensation of someone tapping lightly against my arm. At first, I tried to ignore it. I buried my face deeper into the pillow, dragging the blanket higher over my shoulder with a grumble. The bed was warm, the room cool from the early morning air drifting through the curtains, and after the emotionally exhausting day I had yesterday, sleep had claimed me deeply.

The tapping came again. “Krista,” a voice whispered urgently. “Kristaaa.”

With immense reluctance, I

  • Second Chance For The Broken Luna   52: One Down (1)

    Jacob *Krista would not leave my mind. When we had changed into the clothes in my bag and had returned from the woods, the silence between us had stretched taut the entire walk back to the manor. Neither of us had spoken about what happened. Not about her shifting, not about her wolf appearing and certainly about the hatred I had heard so clearly in her wolf’s voice.The moment we stepped inside the manor, Krista had turned to me and said she needed time alone. Her expression had been tight, overwhelmed in a way I understood all too well. Before I could even think to answer, she had already begun walking away.I had let her go. What else could I have done?The happenings in the woods had left my mind in disarray, each thought colliding violently against the next. But chief among them all was one terrible realization: Krista’s wolf hated me. Not disliked or distrusted or even loathed. She well and truly hated me.Krista herself carried anger toward me, yes, but there was restraint to

    Krista*But Jacob’s wolf merely turned around and began to move through the trees without waiting for an answer. After a brief hesitation, my wolf followed. But she did not run beside him but behind him, far back enough that if he tried anything, she would have time to react.The realization made something twist inside me. I had known my wolf was angry with Jacob, but I had not realized the depth of it until now. She truly viewed him as an enemy. Not merely as a former mate who had hurt us, but a real danger. A threat.And although I had no love lost for Jacob after everything he had done to me, I did not know if I could call him an enemy.Infuriating? Yes.Selfish? Absolutely.Capable of causing devastating harm without thinking things through? Without question.But enemy? I did not know.My wolf clearly did.Still, I pushed the thought aside as we moved through the forest because another feeling overwhelmed everything else, the feeling of wholeness. I had forgotten what it felt lik

    Krista*When I still lived with the pack, he’d had my devotion and my loyalty. My love as well, even when he did not return it. Even when he looked through me and longed for another woman. I had still loved him anyway.Then when I finally left and clawed together some semblance of a new life for myself, he came to Eldeg and dragged me back into the orbit of the Red Moon Pack all over again. Another thing he wanted.And now, he wanted more: my fear, my panic, my submission. He wanted me running through the forest like prey while he chased me for sport. As the realization settled into me, something ugly and furious began rising in my chest.No. I was done letting Jacob have whatever he wanted from me simply because he reached for it. The rage built and built until my vision blurred around the edges. The wolf in front of me remained still, golden eyes fixed on mine as if waiting to see what I would do next.That calmness only infuriated me further. “You think this is funny?” I hissed.J

    Krista*It was Jacob. It had to be.My mind raced as I stared at the massive creature not far from me. When had he stopped following me? When had he shifted? How had I not heard it? How had I not noticed him disappear?The wolf stood perfectly still amongst the trees, black fur blending almost seamlessly into the gloom of the forest. Only those eyes gave him away, bright and intelligent and fixed entirely on me.I took an instinctive step backward. “Jacob,” I said, proud that my voice sounded steady despite the frantic pounding of my heart. “Cut this out.”The wolf did not move.“The hunt is over,” I continued sharply. “I caught the squirrel. What are you doing?”Still nothing. The silence unnerved me more than if he had spoken. My fear sharpened into anger. “Jacob!” I snapped. “Stop this right now!”The wolf lowered its massive head slightly, then a growl rolled out from its chest. The sound was low and deep and terrifyingly primal. It seemed to vibrate through the air itself, rever

    Krista*The woods sounded different without my wolf, but not entirely dead. There were still sounds if I concentrated hard enough. Tiny movements hidden behind the groan of branches overhead and the whisper of wind through leaves.There was another rustle, closer this time. I narrowed my eyes and moved carefully towards it, placing each foot down with deliberate caution. The damp earth softened my footsteps and the cold air brushed against my face as I slipped between the trees.Somewhere behind me, Jacob remained silent and watching. I refused to think about how aware I was of him even now. Instead, I focused until the world narrowed, until all I could hear was the faint scrape-scrape-scrape ahead of me.Then I saw it. At the base of a large tree sat a squirrel, tiny paws working busily as it buried something under loose dirt and leaves. In this darkness, the animal was little more than a blur of grey-brown fur and twitching movement, but my entire attention locked onto it instantly

    Krista*I had been planning to go see Kenan after I’d dressed, but that could wait. I was not relishing the prospect of spending time with Jacob, but the thought of making progress in seeing my wolf again, appealed to me. Besides, Kenan didn’t know I was coming, so there was no possibility of keeping him waiting. I’m sure he would appreciate more time with Leah.Meeting Jacob’s gaze, I nodded and asked him to give me a moment to get dressed. The smile he gave me made heat pool in my belly but I turned away, not trusting myself to stand until I heard the door close behind him.The instant the latch clicked shut, I let out a long breath and pressed both hands against the vanity. “Get a grip,” I muttered to myself.It was ridiculous that a single smile from him could still affect me this way after everything. Ridiculous and frankly humiliating. I stared at my reflection in the mirror for a second longer before straightening.Do not forget what he did to you. The reminder came quickly an

    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,

  • Second Chance For The Broken Luna   2: A Dress for a Broken Heart (2)

    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. Wh

    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
