“I thought you’d be asleep by now.” Frey said, leaning against the

tree like he owned the whole forest.

I nearly jumped out of my skin.

“Gods, Frey, you—” I pressed a hand to my chest and glared at him. “Do you creep on every girl who can’t sleep, or is it just me?”

He smiled, sharp as a blade in moonlight. “Only the dangerous ones.”

I stepped off the cabin porch and into the cool night air, arms crossed. My cheeks burned hotter than I liked to admit. All around us the camp was quiet.

The fire was nothing but a faint orange glow in the pit, kids curled up in blankets like little foxes. The air smelled like ash and damp pine.

I’d been trying, but failing to sleep for hours. My body was heavy but my mind just… wouldn’t shut up. Rafe’s voice still rang in my head from earlier, every word another bruise. The children’s hollow eyes haunted me. Even Frey’s crooked smile left me feeling all tangled up inside.

Now here he was, all tall and lean, leaning like he’d been waiting just for me. M

  • THE LUNA HE SHOULDN'T HAVE REJECTED   Chapter 10: The Breaking Point

    I woke to the sound of boots scraping against the floorboards.For a moment, I stayed still, feigning sleep, hoping the quiet rhythm of my breathing would mask the storm churning inside me. But even with my eyes closed, I could feel it—him. Frey’s presence was impossible to ignore, a restless heat that settled in the air whenever he was near.When I finally opened my eyes, he was leaning against the far wall, arms crossed, watching me with that infuriatingly calm smirk. The early morning sun cut through the cabin window, turning his dark hair almost golden at the edges.“You’re a light sleeper,” he said.“And you’re a heavy watcher,” I shot back, my voice hoarse from sleep.He chuckled at that, low and easy, but his eyes didn’t leave mine. There was something in his stare that made my chest tighten, something that reminded me too much of the way Rafe used to look at me before everything fell apart.I sat up, pulling the blanket around me. “Do you just… stand there and stare at people

  • THE LUNA HE SHOULDN'T HAVE REJECTED   Chapter Nine: A Wolf’s Touch

    The door creaked open as Frey pushed it with his shoulder, his other arm still wrapped firmly around my waist. The faint scent of pinewood and old dust greeted me as we stepped back into the cabin. My body felt like it was made of lead—every movement sending tiny shards of pain through me—but his hold was steady, his presence unnervingly solid.He lowered me onto the bed without a word. For the first time since he’d dragged me out of that circle of rogues, I allowed myself to exhale. My leg still throbbed from where the claw had torn into it, and when I looked down, the fabric of my dress was dark with blood.“You’re lucky,” he said finally, crouching beside me. His voice was low, but there was something sharp in it, a hint of amusement. “If I hadn’t shown up, you’d be little more than scraps in the woods by now.”“I didn’t ask for your help,” I snapped, though the words came out weaker than I intended.His golden eyes flicked up at me, and a crooked grin tugged at his lips. “No. You

    I was drowning.The cold grasp of the river had already seized me, the currents pulling me deeper in its endless dark, my limbs no longer responding to my frantic calls. My body was numb, lungs screaming for air that would not come.Then out of nowhere I heard it. His voice."Selene, are you trying to drown on purpose, or do you just attract disaster wherever you go?"A warm voice cut through the freezing current wrapping around me, and I forced my eyes open, coughing, struggling to keep my head above the water.There he was: Frey Storm-his silhouette cutting a sharp contrast against gray clouds above, a wicked, amused smile curling at his lips."Frey?" My voice came out hoarse, disbelief threading through every syllable. I wanted to say something sharper; to act like I wasn't clinging desperately to the rocky bank, but every ounce of strength had bled out of me. I was barely managing to keep my grip, much less hold my pride together."What's it going to be?" he called down, the teas

    "Rafe, plea… My voice cracked, little more than a whisper above the roar of the water rushing past my ears.I was slipping, my fingers digging desperately into the rocks jutting out from the riverbank, but they were slick, the current ripping me away inch by inch. The cold had found its way into my body was was nowdeep into my bones, numbing my body.Only Rafe's hand, his eyes locked to mine, kept me tethered to the surface. I held on, his grip tight at first, strong.Then his gaze shifted, his jaw clenching as he looked over his shoulder, beyond me."Rafe?" My voice shook, and a tremble of panic slid into it.He hesitated, his eyes darting left and right and his ears perked up.I followed his gaze out, catching a scent on the air that made my stomach twist-the scent of the pack. They were coming, their voices carrying through the trees, growing louder. If they found us like this, with Rafe helping me, an exile, someone who was supposed to be miles away from their territory, it woul

    “Secrets… they always come back to haunt you."The words twisted in my head like a jackknife, jolting me as Frey's eyes held hostage. It was as if his gaze was burrowing straight through me, and it made me suddenly feel self conscious.His jaw clenched, his lips mashed into a firm line, as if he were about to let fall some life-altering bomb. Then, in a flash, the mask fell back into place. Frey shut down again."I know enough," he murmured, voice low and unsettling. "But maybe you're not ready to hear it."I bristled. "You don't get to decide what I'm ready for, Frey.He gave a wry smile, more mocking than warm. "Perhaps not. But trust me, there are some things you can't unknow. Things that'll alter the way you look at this world. and everyone in it."I took a shaky breath, willing myself not to flinch. "Cut the riddles, Frey. If there's something I should know, then *tell me*.He held my stare, and for that flash of a moment, something unguarded flickered in his eyes, vulnerability
