Morning settled gently over the Crimson Court, painting the palace in warm shades of gold that softened its towering stone walls. From the balcony outside our chambers, I watched servants move gracefully through the gardens below, preparing breakfast beneath the climbing roses that framed the eastern courtyard. The vampire kingdom greeted the day far differently from Black Moon. There were no warriors already sparring in the training fields or children racing through the pack before sunrise. Ev

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Luna   254. SIENNA

    By the time the palace settled into the quiet rhythm of evening, every corridor seemed softer somehow.The children had finally exhausted themselves.Selena had spent the better part of the afternoon teaching Aria a game that somehow involved flowers, ribbons and rules that changed every five minutes. Kane had followed patiently behind them, speaking only when Aria asked him a question—which, much to everyone's delight, had happened more than once. Nicholas, determined not to be left out of any adventure, had spent the day bouncing from one pair of welcoming arms to another before ultimately falling asleep against Cassius's shoulder halfway through dinner.Now the palace rested.The laughter that had echoed through its halls all day had faded into comfortable silence.Cassius and I stood together on the balcony outside our chambers, mugs of warm tea cradled between our hands as the cool evening breeze drifted through the climbing roses below. From somewhere in the gardens came the qui

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Luna   253. JACKSON

    There was something unsettling about how quickly a person could become part of your routine without ever realizing it.Four days ago, Olivia had been a stranger.Now, without intending to, I found myself measuring the hours by the moments I happened to see her.Not because I sought her out.At least... that was what I continued telling myself.The palace simply wasn't large enough to prevent our paths from crossing.Or so I insisted.My wolf remained unconvinced.By midmorning, Cassius had disappeared with Damien to review the eastern watchtowers while Sienna and Sophie occupied themselves

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Luna   252. JACKSON

    By the fourth day of our stay, I had come to know the Crimson Court far better than I had expected.Not the grand halls.Or the council chamber.Or even the gardens that seemed to bloom regardless of the season.I had learned its rhythm.The palace woke before sunrise.The kitchens came alive first, followed by the servants lighting fireplaces and opening the tall windows that overlooked the eastern courtyards. The guards changed shifts just as the first rays of sunlight touched the highest towers. Breakfast was always served precisely on time, though somehow Sophie never had to ask whether the children wanted extra honey on their bread or whether Nicholas preferred mashed fruit b

    The rest of the morning passed far more slowly than I would've liked.Not because there wasn't enough to do.Quite the opposite.Cassius insisted on inspecting the palace's outer defenses with Damien, partly out of genuine curiosity and partly because neither Alpha knew how to spend an entire day doing nothing. Sienna stayed behind with Sophie, Nicholas refusing to leave his mother's arms unless he was being bribed with wooden toys or entertained by Selena's endless stories.That left me exactly where I usually preferred to be.Wherever I was needed.Unfortunately, my wolf had developed very different priorities.He noticed Olivia long

    Sleep abandoned me long before dawn.For years, I had believed stories about mates were exaggerated. Every wolf who found theirs suddenly became a philosopher, speaking in riddles about fate, destiny and invisible threads that tied souls together. Cassius had been no different. Looking back now, I almost wanted to apologize to him. I'd spent years teasing him whenever he absent-mindedly smiled after speaking to Sienna, insisting he'd become unbearably sentimental after finding his Luna.Now I understood.Not because I had become sentimental.Because I had become distracted.It was remarkable how thoroughly one person could occupy a mind after exchanging barely more than a handful of words.I lay staring at the ceiling of my chambers, listening to the palace settle into the peaceful silence that existed only during the darkest hours before sunrise. Somewhere down the corridor, one of the servants quietly opened a window. I heard the distant rustle of leaves outside, followed by the sof

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Luna   249. CASSIUS

    Morning settled gently over the Crimson Court, painting the palace in warm shades of gold that softened its towering stone walls. From the balcony outside our chambers, I watched servants move gracefully through the gardens below, preparing breakfast beneath the climbing roses that framed the eastern courtyard. The vampire kingdom greeted the day far differently from Black Moon. There were no warriors already sparring in the training fields or children racing through the pack before sunrise. Everything here moved with quiet precision, every servant and guard carrying out their duties with practiced discipline. Even the silence seemed carefully maintained.Beside me, Sienna rested her elbows against the stone railing, her gaze following Kane and Selena as they chased each other across the gardens below. Nicholas sat contentedly in Sophie's lap, laughing every time a butterfly fluttered just beyond his tiny reach. The sight drew a soft smile to Sienna's lips."They're happy," she murmur
