There was a knock on my study door. Without looking up from the reports spread across my desk, I called for the knocker to come in. The door opened only slightly before Serah peeked her head through the gap. “Alpha,” she said softly.

I set down the report I had been trying to read and for the past few minutes and looked at her properly. “What is it?”

“You said to let you know when Luke left. He’s returned to the schoolhouse,” she informed me. “His break is over.”

At once, my thoughts s

  • Second Chance For The Broken Luna   54: A Desperate Act (2)

    Jacob*When I opened my eyes, I was no longer in Krista’s room. For one disorienting moment, I thought I was still unconscious and dreaming, because nothing around me made sense.There was no bed beneath me. No walls. No ceiling. No manor.There was only sky. Endless, impossible sky. Night stretched in every direction, vast and infinite, filled with stars so bright they looked alive. I was suspended within it, neither standing nor falling, my body somehow held aloft in the middle of the void. The air around me shimmered faintly silver, like moonlight reflected on water.I went utterly still.My chest no longer burned from Krista’s bite, though I could still remember the sensation vividly enough to make my skin crawl. My breathing sounded unnaturally loud in the stillness.What in the Goddess’s name—Then I looked down. Right where Krista had bitten me, directly above my heart, a thin red cord stretched outward from my chest.No, it was not a cord but a thread. It was so frayed and wo

    Jacob*There was a knock on my study door. Without looking up from the reports spread across my desk, I called for the knocker to come in. The door opened only slightly before Serah peeked her head through the gap. “Alpha,” she said softly. I set down the report I had been trying to read and for the past few minutes and looked at her properly. “What is it?”“You said to let you know when Luke left. He’s returned to the schoolhouse,” she informed me. “His break is over.”At once, my thoughts shifted back to Krista’s room, back to the enormous silver wolf sprawled possessively across the bed with her son tucked into her fur. “Did he eat before he returned?” I asked.Serah nodded quickly. “Yes, Alpha.”“Good.” I pushed the reports aside and rose from my desk. The papers slid haphazardly across the wood but I paid them little mind. I had not truly been concentrating on them anyway. Every other line I read dissolved into thoughts of Krista’s wolf, of her hostility and the sheer bitternes

    Jacob*Krista’s wolf, meanwhile, seemed wholly unconcerned by my reaction. Using her tail, she nudged Luke gently closer toward her enormous body until the boy was nearly swallowed by silver fur. Luke laughed delightedly and wrapped both arms around her neck in a hug.The sight did something strange to my chest.The wolf lowered her head beside him carefully, protective instinct radiating from her so strongly that even I could feel it. All the hostility she directed at me had vanished for the moment, replaced entirely by tenderness toward the child pressed against her side.Luke tilted his head back to peer up at her. “When will I shift?” he asked eagerly. “Will I look just like you?”There was such innocent excitement in his voice that despite everything weighing on me today, I felt another reluctant smile threaten.“You’ll probably shift for the first time around the age of ten,” I told him. “Until then, nobody knows what your wolf will look like. It stays a mystery.”Luke frowned

    Jacob*Curled comfortably amongst the blankets, eyes closed and chest rising slowly, the wolf might have appeared asleep to anyone who did not know better. But I was not deceived.My surprise slowly gave way to concern. What had happened? What could possibly have made Krista feel unsafe enough for her wolf to emerge again so soon after the woods?Behind me, Serah finally caught up, still slightly breathless. “I came to ask Miss Krista what she wanted for a late breakfast,” she explained hurriedly. “And-and when I entered the room, I saw her wolf instead.” Her voice climbed higher with lingering panic.“She hasn’t felt her wolf for years,” Serah continued. “Seeing her here suddenly like this… I didn’t know what to do.”I understood her shock perfectly.Aside from myself, no one knew Krista had managed to shift in the woods earlier. To Serah, who was one of the few aware that Krista’s wolf had simply vanished years ago and never returned, seeing her suddenly sprawled across the bed wou

    Jacob*The realization settled over me with grim finality, and despite the fact we were not more than acquaintances relating in our official capacities, sorrow washed through me in a slow, unavoidable tide.Magnus Adrian had been many things: proud and stern. Even territorial to a fault. But he had also been a capable Alpha and a devoted mate. I had known him for years. We had fought alongside each other before. We had drunk together during alliance celebrations and argued over borders and trade routes like every Alpha eventually did.And now he was gone, killed by rogues no less. My hand tightened unconsciously around the invitation.I thought first of Sophia. She had loved her father fiercely, I had seen that much when she had come to see. Magnus had indulged her in ways few Alpha fathers indulged their daughters, and everyone who knew them could see it plainly. She would be shattered by this. Then my thoughts shifted to Cara. A dull heaviness settled in my chest at the thought of

    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

    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,

    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
