THE LUNA YOU REPLACED IS AN ALPHA QUEEN NOW 32
Xavier's POVThe office was silent, and the silence gave my thoughts nowhere else to go. None of my men had knocked in over an hour, and every report on my desk had already been read twice.I sat in my chair with a pen in my hand and my jaw tight, yet I had not written a single word.I was angry, though I could not name anyone in particular to be angry with. Victor deserved it, and so did the Laurents, but the feeling did not belong to any one of them.It stayed with me no matter whom I blamed.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Nadia on that dungeon floor. She had pulled her injured arm against her chest and begged me not to hurt her before I had even touched her.She was only nineteen, and no one that young should have learned to fear a kind voice.Then there was the mark. It was small and crescent-shaped, sitting at the base of her neck exactly where my father had said it would be.I had told myself a hundred times that many people were born with marks, and a hundred times my ow

Chapter 54: The TrapIanMy face stayed calm, even though the goal had only tied the score at two apiece. My thoughts were far from calm. Every time Ariel grinned at me from across the ice, my patience wore thinner.I could not stand her smugness any longer. At the same time, I had to admit privately that she was a very tough opponent. To the spectators, her tanker tactic looked basic. To me, it was a high-level psychological move. Each reckless charge was meant to make us angry and careless, and it had already worked on Aaliyah."Not again," I muttered. "She does not get to play with us twice."The referee blew the whistle for a short pause, and the teams drifted back to their sides. I called everyone into a tight circle near the boards."Listen carefully," I said. "Ariel is not reckless. She wants us to think she is.""She looked pretty reckless when she flattened me," Jackson grumbled."That was her plan," I answered. "She charges, we panic, and her team follows through the gap

Chapter 61: Home, BrieflyREGAN Our flight back into the country was uneventful. The cabin was quiet, the weather was clear, and no one interrupted us.Ruby had returned to her usual distant manner. She answered my questions politely, but she kept her eyes on her laptop for most of the journey.Twice I tried to start a conversation about the leaks in her company. Each time she replied with a single sentence and returned to her screen.Strangely, I did not mind it. At least she was sitting beside me, and she was not talking to some stranger who had flattered her at the gate.I still held a grudge against the young man from our last flight. I had never learned his name, and I did not intend to.Several hours later, the plane lowered toward the runway, and I watched the tires touch the tarmac through the window. A soft jolt moved through the cabin, and the passengers began to stir.Ruby stood up and gathered her bag. "I will be going to pick up Leo," she said."He is at my estate,"

Chapter 49: Words Said in AngerAaliyahIan hummed for a moment, and I could hear the hesitation in his voice before he spoke. We had walked without speaking since the woman left, and the silence had grown awkward between us.“Would you like some ice cream?” he asked at last.I looked at him in surprise. It was cold enough for snow to cover the ground, and he was offering me ice cream.“Ice cream?” I repeated.“There's a stall near the bridge,” he said, looking straight ahead. “They sell it all year.”It was obvious that he was trying to restore the mood. I decided that I wouldn't make things difficult for him, so I nodded.“Okay,” I said. “I'd love some. Strawberry, please.”We bought two bowls from the stall, vanilla for him and strawberry for me.“Two scoops each?” the woman at the counter asked.“One,” Ian said quickly.“Two,” I corrected him. “He's paying.”“Fine,” Ian sighed, reaching for his wallet.The woman gave us a small spoon each and a smile that made me wonder what she

Sable The morning after the trader left, the shelter felt different. I woke up before the others and stared at the tarp above me.Maris was already outside. I heard her moving pots. Tomas was still asleep next to me, his mouth open a little.I got up and folded my blanket. My chest felt tight. I kept thinking about the trader and my mother and the white bread.Outside, Maris looked at me."You did not sleep well," she said."I tried," I said.She handed me a cup of water. "Drink."I drank. The water was cold.Garrick came from behind the shelter. He carried wood."Morning," he said."Morning," I said.We did not talk about yesterday. We acted like it was a normal day, but it was not.After breakfast, Tomas went to get water. I stayed to help Maris wash clothes."Are you angry that I did not go?" I asked her. My voice was quiet.She stopped washing."Why would I be angry?" she said."Because my mother has a real house," I said. "And here we have only this."Maris wiped her hands on he
