Second Chance For The Broken Luna 60: To Look Presentable (1)
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
Second Chance For The Broken Luna 58: An Intimate Moment (2)
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

Krista*Everything sharpened at once. The darkness no longer looked like darkness at all. Even though the night outside was pitch black and the moon had hidden herself away, I could see clearly: the outlines of furniture, the fluttering curtains, the rise and fall of Luke’s tiny shoulders beside me.And across the room...It was Jacob. He sat on the divan opposite the bed, one arm resting against the armrest, his posture relaxed in appearance only. His gaze was fixed on me so intently that it was obvious he had been watching me for some time. A sliver of shock passed through me. He was fully awake.Our eyes locked.Something shifted in his expression immediately, a flash of relief. Then he rose. The movement was fluid and silent, predatory in a way only wolves could truly be. He crossed the room toward me with the smooth grace of a panther and despite myself, my heartbeat quickened slightly. I stayed very still as I watched him approach, until he stopped beside the bed and knelt so

Krista*I grinned. “Greta said here Theo’s tantrums were so awful when he first started shifting that he looked like a rogue half the time. She said she barely recognized her own son.”My wolf stared at me in clear disbelief. “Surely she exaggerated.”I burst out laughing. “That’s exactly what I said!”“Not our Luke,” she insisted stubbornly. “He is sweet.”“He’s also dramatic,” I pointed out. “And stubborn.”“He got that from you.”Smiling helplessly now, I shook my head. “I’m really not looking forward to finding out if Greta’s right.”Still smiling, I nestled deeper into her fur. The warmth of her body seeped into my bones, easing tensions I had carried for years without even realizing it. Now that she was back, I could suddenly feel just how exhausted I truly was. Bone deep tiredness settled over me, pulling at my limbs. Against my wolf, with the cheerful sounds of the stream and the birds filling the air, it was not hard to surrender to the tiredness creeping over me. My eyelids

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
