Second Chance For The Broken Luna 61: Just Like You Did Before (3)
Krista*She collapsed backward onto the floor with a hiss of pain. My breathing came harsh and fast as I stood over her. My head throbbed viciously from where I had smashed it into hers, and my throat burned where her fingers had crushed against it.Kick her now. My wolf sounded delighted at the prospect. Kick her while she’s down, preferably in the gut.I ignored her with some effort. Laurel lay sprawled across the floor, one hand pressed against her jaw, blood staining the corner of her mouth. For a second, neither of us moved. Then I pointed a finger at her.“I have a very good mind to beat the leaving daylights out of you right now,” I said through clenched teeth. My voice came out rough from the strain on my throat.Laurel glared up at me hatefully as I took a step closer. “Just because I’ve been respectful and civil thus far does not mean you should mistake that for weakness.”My wolf preened proudly.“And surely,” I continued incredulously, “aren’t you ashamed to be fighting o

Krista*Laurel’s eyes lit with fire at once. I met her gaze evenly despite the hostility radiating off her.“I take no joy in the anguish this situation is causing you,” I admitted honestly. “Soon enough, I’ll be on my way and you can put all this behind you. Until then, can you leave me be and stop making a fool of yourself?”A dangerous silence passed between us. Laurel stared at me with such intensity I could practically feel her temper clawing to be let out. Her nostrils flared slightly. “A fool of myself?” she repeated softly.My wolf’s ears flattened in warning.“You know what, Krista? I’m going to give you a chance.”I raised a brow.“A chance to prove you really don’t want to be here,” she continued. “A chance to prove you really don’t plan to insert yourself into Jacob’s life again.”I already knew I was not going to like whatever came next.Laurel took a step closer. “Tonight, I want you to disappear from Jacob’s life, just the way you did two years ago.” My fingers stilled

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
Second Chance For The Broken Luna 3: Ritual Dance (1)
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

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
