Hunter's expression changed instantly. Slowly, he shook his head. “The Waerloga are not a pack.” His voice held an unmistakable note of disdain. “Waerloga is what the rogues call themselves under this Rogue King.”

My stomach dropped. For a moment, I simply stared at him. I wasn't sure I'd heard correctly.

Hunter continued. “The word comes from Old English. It roughly translates to ‘oath breakers’.”

It was hard not to feel the shock icing my veins. Suddenly I saw last night differently,

    Krista*Luke looked at the wooden mess in my hands and promptly told me, “Your horse is ugly.”I stared down at the carving before frowning at him. “It is not a horse.”Luke blinked innocently. “It looks like one.”“It is a wolf.”He considered that for another moment, his small head tilted to one side. “Then it is an ugly wolf.”A laugh escaped me before I could stop it although I immediately narrowed my eyes at him. “You are very rude for someone whose own wolf looks like it was mauled by a bear.”Luke clutched his carving to his chest. “My wolf is beautiful.”“It has one leg longer than the other.”“It is running.”I pressed my lips together, fighting another smile. Luke looked far too pleased with himself. Blowing out a sigh, I turned back to my own carving. “I told you, I have not carved since I was a little pup.”“And you were bad at it then too?”My head snapped toward him. Luke immediately ducked his head alhough the grin tugging at his mouth made it obvious he did not regret

For a moment, I simply stared at him. I wasn't sure I'd heard correctly.Hunter continued. “The word comes from Old English. It roughly translates to ‘oath breakers’.”It was hard not to feel the shock icing my veins. Suddenly I saw last night differently, re-categorizing the man I had met with the information I now knew. The flirtation. The amused eyes. The way he had introduced himself.Goddess above...I had met the Rogue King. I had stood alone in a dark hallway drinking stolen wine with him.I had laughed with him.I had allowed him to hold my hand. I had allowed the man responsible for Magnus Adrian's death... the man responsible for countless raids, the man whose wolves had hunted me to Eldeg... to stand close enough that I could smell him.

    Krista*“Agreed,” Luna Silva said.Hunter nodded. Before he could speak, I found myself speaking first. “We need to be careful.” Every head turned toward me and I straightened slightly in my seat. “If the Rogue King suspects we've discovered the existence of his spies, he'll pull them out immediately.”Jacob glanced at me briefly. There was approval in his eyes.I continued. “We know almost nothing about him. We don't know where he is, how large his forces are, or how he communicates.” My gaze drifted to the map. “If we expose the spies too soon, we lose our best chance of finding him.”A look crossed Clarke's face. “That is a fair point.”Hunter nodded, leaning forward slightly. “For now, every pack represented here should keep information regarding troop movements, patrol routes, security arrangements, and internal politics as confidential as possible.”Alissa picked up the thread. “Anything that would normally be passed through letters should be kept restricted.”The message was c

    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

    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

    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

    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
