*

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 thro

  • Second Chance For The Broken Luna   90: Should Have Trusted Me (3)

    Krista*Something flashed through his eyes. It was so fleeting that I could not decipher it, but it was enough to remind me that the man standing before me was not simply the man who had held me close and kissed me as though I were his only refuge. He was Jacob Hollows, Alpha of the Red Moon Pack, a man who had carried the weight of an entire pack on his shoulders for years and who had never been afforded the luxury of falling apart when others needed him to stand.I knew that man. I had loved him, resented him, and spent far too long trying to convince myself that I no longer cared about him. Yet, even now, when I looked into his eyes and saw the burden he carried, my heart ached for him.Jacob opened his mouth to respond, but he stopped before he could say anything. A moment later, I felt it too: a gentle nudge against my consciousness, familiar enough that I recognised it immediately. Someone was reaching out through the pack link, seeking Jacob's attention. Given the urgency of t

    Krista*The words were vicious enough that another woman might have recoiled from them. I did not. I had seen Jacob angry before, but there was something especially dangerous about the controlled fury in his voice now. He was not making an idle threat simply to frighten me. I understood the impulse more than I cared to admit.Still, I couldn't help the small smile that curved my lips. "That would be foolish," I told him.His brows lifted slightly. "Would it?""Of course. We couldn't very well interrogate her remains, could we?"For the first time since I had risen from the bed, something shifted in his expression. His mouth curved into a smile that was every bit as savage as the look in his eyes, a wolfish expression that reminded me just how dangerous my mate could be when someone threatened what belonged to him."You're right," he murmured. "It would be foolish."I stroked my thumb along his jaw, still smiling faintly. "I'm glad we agree.""Though I imagine it would be immensely sa

    Krista*I drank my soup slowly, forcing myself to savor each spoonful of warm broth even though every other instinct in my body screamed at me to stop wasting time. I wanted to demand that Jacob take me to the meeting room immediately. I wanted to know which of his trusted Elders had betrayed him, how long the treachery had gone on, and what else the rogues knew about Red Moon because of it. The uncertainty gnawed at me, making it difficult to sit still, much less concentrate on the meal Jacob had insisted I eat before we joined the others.But the broth was soothing, and I had to admit that he was right. I could not afford to enter that meeting with my stomach empty and my strength compromised, especially after what had happened in the dungeon. The nosebleed might have looked insignificant, but the sudden pain and the terrifying emptiness I had felt when I thought I had lost my wolf had frightened me more than I cared to admit.Earlier, I had called for Serah so I could find out how

    Jacob*Krista glanced at my arms around her, then back at my face. I could practically see the argument forming behind her eyes. She was clearly not pleased with being carried as if she were incapable of walking on her own, but perhaps she had finally understood that I was in no mood to negotiate. For once, she did not insist.I held her closer and continued toward the manor, keeping my pace steady unnder the moonlit sky. We had an Elder to identify, a traitor to expose, and a pack to protect. Whatever awaited us in the meeting room, I would face it with Krista by my side. But I would not watch her destroy herself in the process. Not again.We were almost at the manor when we ran into Laurel. She appeared along the path leading to the entrance, moving toward us with a purpose that seemed to falter the moment she noticed Krista in my arms. For the briefest instant, anger flashed across her eyes. It was sharp enough that I caught it even in the dim moonlight, but it disappeared almost

    Jacob*I could not afford to let my personal history with any of these women interfere with what needed to be done. When we reached the top of the stairs and stepped outside the dungeon, I stopped and turned to the three wolves who had accompanied us. Garrett, Leah, and Samuel were waiting for my instructions, their expressions grim and their bodies tense with the same anger that had settled in my chest.I pushed out a wave of compulsion. “None of you will speak of what the rogue revealed in that room. Not to another soldier, not to a member of the council, and not to anyone else in this pack. The identity of the spy and the fact that we know she is an Elder will remain between us until I say otherwise. Do you understand?”All three immediately dropped to their knees.“The Alpha's decree is ours to obey,” they answered together.I held the compulsion for another moment, ensuring my command had taken root before allowing the pressure to ease. Satisfied, I looked at Garrett. “Gather al

    Jacob*There was no question about whom she meant. We could not afford to wait until morning, not when an Elder had been identified as the Waerloga's contact. Whoever she was, she had access to information that could put every member of Red Moon at risk. There was no telling what she might do to protect herself.I reached into my pocket and pulled out a clean cloth. When I lifted it to Krista's face, I noticed the thin stream of blood running from her nose.“Hold this,” I told her quietly.She accepted the cloth and pressed it beneath her nostrils, looking down at the red stain with a flicker of surprise. She had not even realized she was bleeding.The sight made my stomach tighten. She had pushed herself beyond what her body could comfortably endure, channeling my power through herself while weakened by the absence of her wolf's connection. Whatever strength she had found in the moment, it had come at a cost, and I had no intention of letting her continue until she collapsed entirel

    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

    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
