Second Chance For The Broken Luna 72: Hunter’s Meeting (2)
Krista*The single word landed like a stone tipped into a stream. Alpha Ward muttered a curse under his breath as Luna Misha squeezed his arm.Alpha Clarke folded his hands together. “How certain are you?”Hunter looked directly at Jacob. “Of all the packs mentioned during the interrogations, the only one we definitely know contains a spy is Red Moon.”Beside me, Jacob didn't visibly react.“Windstone and Fellhowl were mentioned in passing. The rogues who survived were not entirely certain. They only knew that reports had come from those territories at various points.”Alpha Ward clasped his hands together so tightly his knuckles whitened. Luna Misha laid a comforting hand over his but he barely seemed aware of it.“Fellhowl?” His face was drained of colour.“Their information was uncertain,” Hunter repeated.“That doesn't make me feel better,” Ward snapped.Across from us, Alpha Clarke exchanged a meaningful look with Luna Silva. Neither appeared pleased but they appear particularly
Second Chance For The Broken Luna 72: Hunter’s Meeting (1)
Krista*I had initially assumed that the meeting Mari spoke of would just be between myself, Jacob and Alpha Hunter. The moment Jacob opened the study door, I realized how wrong that assumption had been. It was clear the room had been rearranged to accommodate a much larger party.Several couches had been pulled into a loose half-circle around a low center table. The usual formal arrangement of desks and chairs had been pushed back, creating a more private setting. Already seated were Alpha Clarke Mercer and Luna Silva Mercer of the Windstone Pack.The older couple sat side by side, their posture relaxed but attentive. Alpha Clarke's silver-streaked hair and weathered face gave him the appearance of a man who had seen every variety of crisis imaginable and survived them all. Beside him, Luna Silva sat with her hands folded neatly in her lap, her expression watchful.Across from them sat Alpha Ward Hark and Luna Misha Hark of the Fellhowl Pack.The contrast between the two pairs was i

Krista*I closed my eyes. It scarcely felt real. For so long, Jacob and I had danced around each other, then suddenly everything had snapped. And despite all my intentions, despite every logical reason I had to keep my distance, I couldn't honestly say I regretted it, not even a little.But nothing had changed. The bond still needed to be broken properly. I still intended to leave. Laurel would still become Luna.That was the plan. So why did it feel increasingly like I was trying to convince myself?I scrubbed harder at my arm. By the time I finished washing, I felt refreshed physically but no less conflicted mentally.Wrapping myself in a towel, I stepped back into the bedroom.Almost immediately there was another knock. Jacob must have summoned the servants because the door opened moments later and fresh water was brought in for him. I disappeared into the dressing room. When I emerged again, fully dressed, Jacob had already vanished into the bathroom.The gown fit perfectly, appr

Krista*Jacob’s mouth curved knowingly as he noticed where my gaze was directed.My cheeks warmed. Before I could come up with a suitable response, he lowered his head intending, no doubt, to continue distracting me.Knock. Knock.Jacob paused as another knock sounded. A groan escaped him and I bit down on my lower lip, biting back a laugh at the look of dejection on his face.My shoulders shook as the knock came again, this time accompanied by a voice. "Alpha? Luna? We've brought hot water for bathing."I couldn't hold it in anymore, laughter escaped me. Jacob dropped his forehead dramatically onto my shoulder. "Of course.""Poor Alpha.""Don't start."A grin spread across my face. "Mari must have informed the staff we're awake."Jacob made a sound that suggested he would very much like to fire Mari at this moment.I patted his shoulder. "Up.""No.""Jacob, come on."Eventually he sighed and rolled away.I immediately scrambled out from under him before he could change his mind. "W

Krista*He dipped his head, clearly intending to kiss me again.This time I turned my face away and his mouth landed on my cheek instead. "Later," I said firmly.A groan escaped him. "You're killing me."The sheer tragedy in his voice made me laugh. "You'll survive.""I don't know." He rested his head against my chest dramatically. "I feel very doubtful about my chances.""You are such a liar."His only response was his arms tightening around my waist. Despite myself, I smiled. The steady beat of his heart under my hands was oddly comforting. For several moments neither of us spoke, then Jacob's voice came muffled against me. "What was it you wanted to talk about?"My smile faded as I thought over how to say the words in my mind. I didn’t regret last night and that was precisely the problem. I hesitated. The intimate position made it awkward, but strangely enough, the lack of eye contact helped. I could say difficult things when I wasn't staring directly into his face.Taking a brea

Krista*A persistent knock at the door roused me from my sleep. Groggily, I muttered for the person to go away, snuggling deeper into the sheets when all I got in response was blessed silence. The next second however, I heard Mari’s voice, saying she had an important message from Alpha Hunter.At the mention of the new Alpha of the Nightwalker pack, I cracked open my eyes and promptly regretted it. Dawn had long since risen, and sunlight poured in through the open windows, bright and unforgiving.A groan escaped me. Every muscle in my body seemed determined to remind me that I had not gotten much sleep. Carefully, I pushed myself upright, blinking hard against how bright the room was. I was almost halfway to the door before I realized I was stark naked.Glancing around for something to wear, I spotted Jacob’s black shirt strewn across the daybed. The sight alone made several memories from the previous night try to surface, and I ruthlessly shoved them away.Not now.Absolutely not no
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

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
