Her voice cracked, but she did not stop. “And what of your family? Have you even considered the stain you've put on their name? The stench of traitor will follow your kin long after this is over.

    Krista*Her voice cracked, but she did not stop. “And what of your family? Have you even considered the stain you've put on their name? The stench of traitor will follow your kin long after this is over. Every wolf who hears what you've done will remember that your family produced someone willing to sell her own pack to its enemies!”Each word landed like a knife coated in poison. I watched Miriam absorb the accusations without flinching, her tearful gaze finally lifting to meet Agatha's hateful stare. She did not try to defend her family or argue that she had acted for some greater purpose. She did not even seem to hear the guards shifting impatiently beside her.For a long moment, she simply looked at Agatha.Then, in a voice so quiet that the entire room seemed to lean towards her, she spoke. “There are things worse than being called a traitor.”The words settled over us with an odd, uncomfortable weight.Agatha stared at her, her mouth still parted but nothing immediately followe

    Krista*What I had not expected was the expression that flickered across her face.It was there and gone so quickly that I could not identify it. For a fraction of a second, something changed in her tearful gaze, something that did not seem to belong to the guilt or shame I had expected to find. It was almost as if she had seen something beyond the room, something the rest of us could not see, and had suddenly understood that there was no point in fighting any longer.The sensation it left behind was unpleasant enough to make me straighten in my chair.Before I could examine it, Miriam's resistance seemed to drain out of her. Her shoulders sagged. Her hands, which had been clenched at her sides, fell limp, and she stopped looking around the room for support. Then, without warning, she sank to her knees.A sob tore out of her. “Yes,” she whispered. The word was so quiet that I almost missed it. “Yes, it's true. I did it.”She bent forward, her shoulders beginning to shake as another s

    Krista*For one suspended moment, nobody moved.Then a fresh flurry of gasps swept through the room, louder and more disbelieving than the first. Elder Agatha turned sharply towards Miriam, while Elder Seldrin stared at Jacob as if he had not heard correctly. Matthias's chair scraped against the floor as he shifted in his seat, his eyes widening.But the loudest gasp came from Miriam herself.She shot to her feet so abruptly that her chair struck the floor behind her. The sound cracked through the room, and every head turned towards her.“There must be a mistake!” she cried.Her face had changed. The composure she had maintained so effortlessly a moment earlier was giving way to a rising tide of panic. She looked at Jacob, then at me, her eyes wide as if she expected one of us to explain that this was some terrible misunderstanding.“I am not a spy!” she insisted. “I have done so such thing! Alpha, you cannot possibly believe that I would betray this pack. I have served Red Moon for

    Krista*As Jacob and I approached the head of the table, all eight Elders rose to their feet.“Alpha,” they greeted him in unison. Then their gazes shifted to me. “Luna.”I inclined my head in acknowledgment, aware of the weight of their attention as I took my place beside Jacob. The title still carried a complicated weight for me. There had been a time when I had thought I would never return to Red Moon, much less stand at the head of its leadership beside the man who had broken our bond. Now, with our son sleeping safely under this roof and the future of the pack hanging in the balance, I had never been more conscious of what it meant to be here.Garrett and the four other guards stationed inside the room straightened as we reached the head of the table. “Alpha. Luna,” they greeted.Jacob pulled out my chair before taking his own seat beside me. The gesture was brief, almost absent-minded, but I appreciated it all the same. Once I had settled, he pushed his chair beneath him and su

    Krista*Instead, Laurel shifted directly into his path, forcing him to stop. Her hands fell to her sides, and the earnest concern on her face gave way to open defiance. Her eyes flashed as she looked up at him, and I saw the first signs of anger break through the composure she had been trying to maintain.“Are you really going to be this petty?” she demanded. “You're going to prevent the pack from receiving my help because of whatever personal issue you have with me?”Jacob regarded her without answering.“Have you forgotten how many times I've sat with you and the Elders?” she pressed on. “How many times we've discussed problems facing Red Moon and worked together to find solutions? I was there when you needed advice. I helped you strategize, and I contributed to decisions that affected this entire pack. So why can't I do that now, when we're facing a threat more dangerous than anything we've dealt with before?”Her voice had risen by the end, and her face had flushed with indignati

    Krista*Jacob was an Alpha. He had responsibilities to his pack, a duty to protect the wolves who depended on him, and a lifetime of discipline behind him. But he was also a father who had only just discovered his son, a man who had already lost years he could never reclaim. To learn that Luke was his after the boy lay cold and dead would have been a cruelty beyond anything I could bear to imagine.He might have abandoned every other concern to hunt Asher down.He might have left Red Moon with nothing but rage to guide him, determined to make the Rogue King suffer for what he had done. And if that was what Asher wanted, then the letter made a terrible kind of sense. Miriam had intended to convince Jacob to leave the pack and pursue him. She had planned to send word once he was gone, allowing the next phase of their conspiracy to begin.But what was that next phase?I looked towards the window, beyond which the night lay dark and silent. If Jacob had left Red Moon to hunt Asher, would

    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,
