“It’s only two days,” I continued quickly, grateful I was still looking into the dressing room and not at his face.. “I can manage.”

His eyes narrowed slightly and he stepped closer. My breath caught. “If you could manage,” he said softly, “you wouldn’t have been on the lookout for another bedroom, would you?”

The low timbre of his voice slid over my skin. I became painfully aware of how little space existed between us now. Then my backside brushed lightly against the front of his pant

  • Second Chance For The Broken Luna   67: Perfect Together (1)

    Krista*I turned this way and that in front of the mirror, observing the bun I’d put her hair in. It was an elegant style I had spent the last few minutes perfecting and as I scrutinized myself, I found my appearance satisfactory. The style made me look regal, and that was exactly what I was going for.I had no doubt all eyes would be on me as I and Jacob mingled with the other werewolf nobility and in light of her disappearance and return to the Red Moon pack, and Laurel's conspicuous absence here tonight, tongues would be wagging.The other wolves would be expecting the old Krista, someone they could pressure. I would make sure not to grant it to them.Carefully, I dragged rouge across my lips, staining them a deep wine red before lining my eyes with kohl. The dark line sharpened my gaze, made my eyes look larger and more severe. I added a touch of blush to my cheeks and leaned back slightly, studying the final effect.I look regal and composed, exactly what I needed tonight.My wo

    Krista*A muscle ticked sharply in Jacob’s jaw. “The strangers the humans mentioned…” he murmured.I nodded. “They were probably the Rogue King’s scouts.”For a moment, neither of us spoke. Then slowly, I watched realization take hold in Jacob’s eyes fully. He exhaled once, low and dangerous. Anger began creeping visibly into his expression now, not explosive anger, but something more lethal.I knew then that somewhere in the Red Moon Pack, someone had unknowingly signed their own death warrant.Jacob began pacing slowly a few feet away, his movements deliberate. “If the spy informed the Rogue King that I’d begun searching for you…” he said, half to himself, “then they would have mobilized immediately.”I nodded grimly. “And when you eventually left for Eldeg yourself,” I added, “the spy probably informed them again. Either the night before you departed or the morning you set out.”Jacob stopped moving abruptly. An angry fire lit his golden eyes so suddenly it startled me. “That expl

    Krista*Jacob’s face hardened slightly. “They took care of every wolf involved in the attack,” he said. “None escaped.”I blinked at him. Every one? The sheer efficiency of that retaliation made grim satisfaction curl through me.Jacob continued walking slowly beside me as he spoke. “If the Rogue King is as intelligent as I believe he is,” he said, “he won’t retaliate immediately, not after taking losses that heavy.”“You think they’ll disappear?”“For a while.” His tone carried certainty. “They’ll wait for the packs to relax, for grief to dull vigilance until the guards grow complacent again.”It sounded calculated and that was the terrifying thing. Rogues were supposed to be chaotic, not patient.“But,” Jacob said grimly, “for them to have attacked Nightwalker in the first place means the question of Red Moon being targeted is no longer if.”My breath caught slightly.“It’s a question of when,” I finished quietly.Jacob nodded. “Yes.”Yet strangely, despite the fear gnawing at me,

    Krista*Jacob’s expression shuttered immediately for the first time since he began speaking. “It’s a possibility.” he admitted gravely.My stomach dropped so sharply it felt like I had missed a step on uneven ground. I thought of Luke at once. He was back in the Red Moon Pack while I was here, miles and miles away from him. And danger could hit at any time. The image of Luke frightened, Luke hurt, Luke screaming for me while I was too far away to reach him curdled my insides. I must have gone pale because Jacob stepped closer at once. His hand came up beneath my chin, tipping my face upward until I had no choice but to look at him.“Luke is safe,” he said quietly.His voice was steady, firm in that way Alphas spoke when they wanted certainty to become law. Usually, I hated that tone from him. Right now, I clung to it desperately.“Even if you don’t trust my soldiers there,” he continued, his thumb brushing lightly against my jaw, “you can trust Kenan and Serah. Neither of them would

    Krista*As Jacob and I walked back toward the manor, smoke still lingered in the sky behind us, drifting upward in pale grey ribbons although the pyre itself had long collapsed into glowing ash. The scent of burnt cedar and flesh clung stubbornly to the cold night air, embedding itself into my skin and hair until I thought I would carry the smell of death for days.Behind us, Mari and Jhan followed several feet back in respectful silence, their footsteps soft against the dirt road winding through the Nightwalker grounds.Around us, the pack remained awake despite the late hour.Groups of wolves moved quietly through the territory, dressed in mourning grey. Some wept openly. Lanterns glowed dimly outside homes and buildings, casting pools of golden light onto the earth.Everything felt subdued. My chest tightened as I glanced once over my shoulder toward the distant field where the pyre still smoldered faintly. “It’s hard to imagine,” I murmured quietly, “that in just a few hours, the

    Krista*Ahead of us, Luna Cara broke again into anguished sobs, nearly collapsing against Merrick’s side as the cot bearers reached the pyre. Merrick wrapped both arms around his mother immediately, holding her upright while his own face twisted with restrained agony. Sophia stood on Cara’s other side now, clutching her mother’s hand so tightly her knuckles had gone white.The Elder stepped back and another wolf emerged from the crowd carrying a burning torch. He approached Hunter first, bowing deeply as he offered it to him. Hunter took the torch with a steady hand.The future Alpha of Nightwalker looked carved from stone as he approached the pyre, but grief lived plainly in his eyes. It hollowed them out. It showed a man trying desperately to remain standing for everyone else. The bearers gently lowered the cot atop the stacked wood and stepped away in silence.For the first time, I saw Alpha Magnus clearly.Death had changed him. The power that must once have radiated from him wa

    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

    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
