My entire body tensed. Behind me, I could feel Jacob’s fury through the bond.

The Rogue King extended a hand toward me. I stared at it for a second before I walked past him, refusing to take it. If he found the rejection insulting, he gave no indication beyond the slight curve of his mouth.

    Krista* My entire body tensed. Behind me, I could feel Jacob’s fury through the bond.The Rogue King extended a hand toward me. I stared at it for a second before I walked past him, refusing to take it. If he found the rejection insulting, he gave no indication beyond the slight curve of his mouth.I forced myself to keep walking. Every step away from Jacob felt wrong. My instincts screamed at me to turn around, to fight, to do something. But I had made my choice. Jacob was alive. That was what mattered. For now.“How do I know you won't kill him anyway?” I asked.The Rogue King shrugged. “You don't.” I looked at him sharply but he seemed entirely unbothered. “You can still feel him through your mate bond, can't you?”I swallowed. I could. Jacob's presence was still there, furious and agitated, but unmistakably alive.“The moment you can't feel him anymore,” Alpha Asher continued, “you should feel free to maul me.” His tone was so casual that a chill ran down my spine.I glanced ov

    Krista* “Never,” I said viciously. “The thought of meeting you again was a ‘hope’ that ever crossed my mind.”Alpha Asher laughed. It was not the laugh of a man who had been insulted. If anything, my words seemed to amuse him more. “I see.” His pale eyes gleamed. “You are much more interesting than I expected.” He took another leisurely step toward us. “You ran into a fight you knew you could not win for him.” His gaze slid toward Jacob, lingering on the blood covering his fur before returning to me. “Are you certain he deserved that?”My claws dug into the earth. I understood what he was doing. He was trying to get under my skin. He was standing only a few feet away now, close enough that I could see the faint amusement in his eyes, close enough that I could smell the blood on him under the scent of the forest. He was deliberately poking at something neither Jacob nor I wanted examined.Why had I come? Why had I risked myself for Jacob? Why had I thrown myself into a battle I had

    Krista* A low growl rolled through the clearing. I stared at them in shock. They weren't obeying. One of them took a step toward me. My element of surprise gone, I leaped at the nearest rogue, shifting in midair.The world blurred around me as bone and muscle rearranged themselves, fur bursting across my skin. I hit the rogue with all the force of my momentum, driving my weight straight into it. Its snarl became a strangled yelp as we crashed to the ground, and my jaws closed around the side of its neck before it could recover.Through the mate bond came Jacob’s furious voice. I can handle this.I released the rogue and spun toward the next attacker. You can handle it? I scoffed back. There are eight of them!Another wolf lunged. I ducked under its snapping jaws and drove my shoulder into its ribs. I’m not going anywhere. You can yell at me after we survive.There was a furious pulse of emotion through the bond that told me exactly what Jacob thought of that answer. But there was n

    Krista* He was Alpha of the Red Moon pack. He was one of the strongest wolves I had ever known. He was not invincible, but anyone who came for him would have to be either incredibly powerful or incredibly foolish. And then, unbidden, memories of the past few weeks came rushing back: the rogue attacks, the constant unease that had settled over the packs. The Nightwalker pack! Their Alpha had been successfully taken out only weeks ago...My heart seemed to climb into my throat. This wasn't some ordinary fight. And if Jacob was deliberately shielding me from his pain, then whatever was happening was bad enough that he didn't want me to feel it.I turned toward Serah. "Samuel," I repeated, more urgently. "Get Samuel. He's the leader of the patrol wolves. He's one of the strongest warriors in the pack."She stared at me, still pale from watching me stagger. "Luna, what happened?""Tell him to bring every guard he can find." I could barely keep myself still. "Every guard, Serah. He needs

    Krista* I folded Luke’s night shirt carefully, sending an amused look Serah’s way before placing it neatly on top of the folded bottoms. I held the little bundle out to her, and she accepted it with both hands, still looking as though she would rather be anywhere else in the world.“You can stop looking as if you’ve witnessed a murder,” I teased.Serah muttered something under her breath.“What was that?” I asked, a smile on my lips. She lowered her eyes to the clothes in her hands. “I think I would have preferred a murder.” I stared at her for a heartbeat before laughter escaped me. I tried to suppress it, I really did, but the utterly despondent expression she gave me only made it worse. I laughed harder, covering my mouth with one hand as Serah looked at me as if I were the most heartless person she had ever met.“All right,” I said eventually, forcing myself to calm down. “I'm sorry.”She did not look convinced. I smiled at her and decided to take pity on her. “Has Luke eaten

    Jacob*For several long, terrible seconds, no one said anything. She stared at us with wide eyes, her entire body stiff with horror. And considering the position Krista and I were in, I could not blame her.Krista's legs were still wrapped around my waist. Her arms were around my neck. One of my hands was firmly beneath her thigh, holding her up, while the other rested against her back.There was no explaining that away. Serah's mouth opened, then closed, then opened again. "I—I'm sorry." Her voice cracked. She looked like she wanted the floor to open up and swallow her whole. "I didn't—I mean, I knocked," she hurried on, her face beginning to turn an impressive shade of red. "I did knock. I just... no one answered, and I thought perhaps—"She stopped herself, her eyes darting anywhere but in our direction.Krista cleared her throat.Serah immediately looked even more mortified. "I came to collect some night clothes," she blurted. "For Luke. Kenan requested them. He's spending the ni

    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

    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,
