LUCIANO

I left Peniel at the seamstress shop, my mind racing with the news about Julie's pack and the impending war.

I needed to focus and strategize, but as I walked into the conference room, I knew I was in for a long and frustrating meeting.

The council members were already seated, their faces a mixture of concern and curiosity.

I took my place at the head of the table, my eyes scanning the room.

"Gentlemen, we have a situation." I began, my voice firm and authoritative.

    HALEYA few days beforeOlivia’s hand was wrapped tight around my wrist. She dragged me out of the meeting room so fast I nearly tripped over my own feet.“Olivia, what is going on? Why'd we leave?” I hissed. She just kept dragging me along, I tried to pull my hand out but it was no use. “Let go! You’re hurting me!”She didn’t answer. Her face was set, her eyes staring straight ahead. She pulled me down the hall, away from the sounds of the meeting, and out a side door into the hot afternoon sun.Outside, things seemed to go on as normal. No one even sparing us a glance as we walked by.“Olivia!” I tried to pull my arm back. “What are you doing? Where are we going?”“Shut up, Haley,” she snapped, her voice low and tense. “Just move. If you want to live, you’ll get in the car and stop talking.”“Car? What car?” I looked around and saw it. An old, dark sedan was parked behind the storage sheds, hidden from view of the main house. My heart started to pound. “Olivia, no. I’m not going any

  • The Alpha’s Treaty, Now His Luna   Right and wrong

    PENIEL“We can talk about practical things too,” I said. “About how to make our homes safer. About signs to watch for. About how to protect the children if... if it happens again.”Lin shook her head, but some of the anger had left her face. “It feels useless.”“It's not useless to fight despair,” Elara said softly. “That's what they want. For us to be too scared to live. For us to turn on each other. For us to give up.”We all looked at her. She had been so quiet since the attack.“My little brother is missing,” Elara said, her eyes glistening. “I think about him every second of the day, about where he is, if he's okay. But I also think about what he would want. He would want me to be brave. He would want me to help. So that's what I'm doing. Even if it's just sitting in a room and talking.”Another silence, but this one was different. Filled with understanding. We all were doing our best in the little way we could.A woman named Carla, wiped her eyes and spoke, “My daughter asks whe

  • The Alpha’s Treaty, Now His Luna   Holding it like a lifeline

    PENIELI spent the rest of the afternoon trying to keep busy. I checked on the rebuilding of the nursery. I helped sort donated clothes. Everywhere I went, I felt eyes on me. I heard whispers. No one said anything to my face, but the words floated in the air around me.‘Is she crazy? All this is her fault.’‘Why would she start it again?’‘She's asking for another attack.’I kept my head high. I smiled. I acted like I heard nothing.As the sun started to set, I went to the small living room we used for meetings. I cleaned it up. I pushed chairs into a circle. I lit a few candles. Then I waited.Silas found me there an hour later. He leaned in the doorway.“Well?” I asked.He hesitated. “I told them.”“How did it go?”“Fine.”I looked at him. “Don't lie to me, Silas. How. Did. It. Go?”He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “To be honest, it didn't go well, Peniel. Some of the women said they wouldn't come. They're too scared. Some said... other things.”“What other things?”He look

  • The Alpha’s Treaty, Now His Luna   Women’s meeting

    PENIELI spent the next few hours going over lists. Food supplies. Medicine. Guard shifts. Repair teams. It was boring, detailed work. But it was important. It was the work of a Luna. Holding things together when they wanted to fall apart.By evening, I was exhausted. My whole body ached. I went back to our room to clean up.I was pulling a clean shirt over my head when the door opened. It was Luciano. He looked more tired than I felt.“Hey,” he greeted.“Hey, yourself.” I replied.“Long day?” he asked, his voice rough.“For both of us,” I answered.He came over and put his arms around me, resting his chin on my head. “I heard about what happened in the hall this morning. With Jax."“It's fine,” I mumbled into his chest.“It's not fine. He shouldn't have spoken to you like that.”“He's hurting. They all are.” I pulled back to look at him. “We have to let them be angry. As long as they still work. As long as they still help.”He sighed, running a hand down his face. “You're wiser than

  • The Alpha’s Treaty, Now His Luna   I’ll ask the other women

    PENIELThe tension in the room eased, just a little.I helped in serving the food. I made myself talk to people. I asked about their injuries. I listened to their fears about the future. It was hard. Every sad face, every tear streaming down a face, seemed like it was my fault. But I kept going. Pushing myself till I had met every person present for breakfast.After the meal, I went to check on the wounded in the infirmary. The smell of medicine and blood hitting me as I walked in. All the beds were full, the room filled with the sounds of people moaning and groaning in pain.Rhea was in the first bed by the window. She was so still. Her eyes were closed. A bandage was wrapped around her shoulder.I brushed her hair back, releasing a sigh of relief that she was alright after all. I hadn't realized then, but now as I stared at her, her gesture astounded me.She took a bullet for me, the women she loved to kick her butt during training! “She'll be alright,” a nurse had said as she wal

  • The Alpha’s Treaty, Now His Luna   So you’re with me or not?

    PENIELMorning came. I woke up to an empty bed. The space beside me was cold. Luciano had left before dawn again. I sighed, pushing myself up. My body still ached from the attack yesterday, in a way I didn't mind, it was a constant reminder that we were not safe. Not yet. And we would have to work hard to be.I stood by the window in my room, looking out. People were moving slowly outside. Like ghosts stuck wondering the earth.I pushed away from the window sill and hurried to dress quickly, pulling on a simple blue dress. My arm was still bandaged, but the healer said it was healing well. I tied my hair back and looked in the mirror. Dark circles under my eyes. I looked tired. I felt tired.But I was Luna. There was no time to be tired.Downstairs, the house was quiet. Too quiet. Usually there would be noise, the servants making breakfast, mothers hurrying their little ones out the door so they could get to school on time, the thuds of warriors practicing on the grounds.Now, there
