SOMA 

“Who gave you permission to speak?” Brynne asks.

Jade pales instantly. Her knees hit the floor with a dull thud before I can blink. She bows her head low, exposing her neck in submission, a posture typical of a wolf bracing for punishment or, in her case, death.

  • The Alpha's Unexpected Luna   57: I need your help

    SOMAI should have let her go straight to her dorm. I should have known the princes would—The vibration in my breast pocket startles me, echoing in the quiet room. I fumble for my phone and whimper when I see the message from Helga. She’s asking for updates.Ignoring her message, I scroll through my contacts until I find one name. Lilith. It’s time to take her up on her offer to help. She picks up instantly, her voice smooth as always.“My lady. To what do I owe this pleasure?”“Prince Kade took Jade,” I blurt out.

  • The Alpha's Unexpected Luna   56: I want her back

    SOMAIf Jade isn’t in her dorm or my room, and she entered the house but never left, there’s only one possibility.She’s still there. I bolt out of the administration building, barely hearing Helga call after me. My pulse hammers in my ears, and my shoes slap against the stone steps.Brynne came home before his brothers. What if he’s the one keeping her hostage? But why? To get to me?“Soma, wait.” Helga finally catches up to me, slightly out of breath. “Where do you think you’re going?”“If this involves the princes,” I begin, stopp

  • The Alpha's Unexpected Luna   55: Missing (II)

    SOMAI try not to panic, but my heart races.Even if Jade wants space, she’ll tell me. We’ve grown close enough for it to feel like we’re friends rather than a lady and her maid.What if she’s sick?I drag myself out of bed and head to the bathroom, sliding under the shower instead of drawing a bath. The water is cold at first, then too hot. I almost laugh.It’s ridiculous how spoiled I’ve become in the last two weeks. Jade always draws the bath, sorts out the laundry, and ensures I’m fed.Now, standing h

  • The Alpha's Unexpected Luna   54: Missing (I)

    SOMABrynne is avoiding me. Or maybe I’m the one avoiding him, but I haven’t seen him even once since Monday. It’s Thursday, and I hope the rest of my week goes without him showing up. The pranks have diminished. Jade still follows me to some classes, but she’s also learning to read and write.Classes end later than usual today, and my head buzzes with words I don’t fully understand. Jade gathers her things and slides them into a tote bag with a little hum. For someone who’d been so reluctant at first, she now enjoys accompanying me. Maybe she can join me in more classes since I haven’t made new friends besides Helga. Most of my classmates are too scared, and the others flock around Maeve and Sheila.

  • The Alpha's Unexpected Luna   53: A new friend

    SOMAThe next morning, someone shakes me awake.Jade. Her lips move, but I don’t hear a thing. I don’t want to rise. I don’t want to move. I don’t want to do anything. My body still feels too heavy, and my chest too tight, like I’m still trapped in that room with Brynne. Even when he’s far away from me, he still haunts me.“I’m not attending classes today,” I say when her words sink in. She tries to argue, but I roll to face the wall. “No one will miss me, anyway.”“My lady…” Jade’s voice wobbles.She seems m

  • The Alpha's Unexpected Luna   52: Tell me yes

    SOMAThe second Brynne storms out, I slide down the mirror, knees curling tight to my chest. I can’t decide if I want to scream until the walls shatter or scrub myself raw. Whatever option I end up choosing, I know I can’t be here anymore.So, I force myself up, with no care for my next lecture. My legs move on instinct, each step a limp, until I finally reach the house.Jade looks up the second I close the door, her eyes wide and worried. Shouldn’t she be in the dorm? I’m usually happy to see her, but right now? I can’t fake a smile, even if I try.“My lady, are you okay—”
