POV : Vivian

My muscles ached when I woke up. Every move felt heavy. The sheets were a twisted mess around my waist, still holding onto the faint smell of him, rain, and whiskey.

I sat up slowly, my legs feeling a little shaky under me. The morning light hit the mirror across the small room, casting dim gray shadows over everything. I walked over and looked at my reflection. Fresh red marks rested near my collarbone where his hands had clamped down the night before.

Yesterday morning, I wanted

  • The Broken Luna's Surrogate   Close Connection

    POV: VIVIANTen minutes. That was how long he had been staring at the latch, as if he could force the heavy iron bolt open with his mind.He had pushed the door once, but the mountain storm had slammed back hard, throwing three feet of snow and a blast of freezing ice into the room. Leaving meant freezing to death in the mountain woods. Even for an Alpha.So he slid the bolt back, turned around, and stayed.Usually, the second Gideon finished, he was gone. He’d dress in total silence and vanish into the night. Now, we were trapped in the same small room with nowhere to look."The fire is almost out," he said. His voice was low, cutting through the silence."There's no more dry wood inside," I said, keeping my tone flat. "The stack outside is buried."He didn't answer. He walked over to the hearth, picked up the iron poker, and stirred the dying embers until a faint orange glow lit up his face. He pulled the wooden chair out from the small dining table and sat down across from me.He d

  • The Broken Luna's Surrogate   Boundary Breach

    POV : Vivian The wind howled through the ridge, shaking the cottage walls until the wooden beams groaned. Outside, the storm was turning into a total blackout, burying the trees under heavy, blowing snow.I was sitting by the fireplace, wrapping my coat tighter around my shoulders, trying to keep warm.CRACK.A loud snap echoed from the front room. The latch on the southern window shutter gave way under the weight of the wind, flinging the heavy wooden plank wide open. Freezing air and a blast of snow rushed into the living room. In seconds, the fire went out, leaving the room dark and cold."Dammit," I muttered through chattering teeth.I scrambled up and ran to the window. Snow stung my face as I leaned out into the dark, reaching for the shutter. It was swinging violently on its hinge, beating against the outer wall. I grabbed the edge of the wet wood, pulling with everything I had to drag it shut against the wind.My shoe slipped on the ice gathering on the floorboards.I lurched

The morning light hit the mirror across the small room, casting dim gray shadows over everything. I walked over and looked at my reflection. Fresh red marks rested near my collarbone where his hands had clamped down the night before.Yesterday morning, I wanted to scrub my skin raw with rough soap until I bled. But today, the tears didn't come. A cold, quiet numbness took their place.I pulled my coarse dress over my head, smoothing down the fabric, and tied my hair back tightly behind my neck.This is my routine now. I let him take what he needs to save his wife, and I take what I need to save my family. No tears, no soft thoughts, no foolish hopes.By mid-morning, the iron latch on the front door clinked open.Beta Marcus stepped inside. He didn't sn

  • The Broken Luna's Surrogate   The Alpha's Torment

    POV: GideonI was walking back through the freezing rain, but my skin was still burning. Every breath I took smelled like wet pine, snow, and her. Vanilla and warm Beta skin. Vivian.My boots dug into the slush on the trail back from the East Cottage. My shirt was half-unbuttoned and wet, but where I’d held her felt hot. I had left her in the dark, shivering on that bed, and run off like a coward.As I reached the main gate, two guards stood at attention."Alpha," they said.I looked down at the mud, refusing to catch their eyes. My jaw throbbed from how hard I was clenching my teeth. Could they smell her on me? Did they know what I’d just done?I touched another woman. My wife is dying in the next hall, and I was in a surrogate's bed. I’m a monster.I tried to tell myself it was just a business deal. A forced contract to get an heir before the blood moon destroyed our borders. But my wolf was thrashing inside my chest. It didn't feel like business. The second I got on top of her, my

  • The Broken Luna's Surrogate   Washing Guilt

    POV : VIVIANI woke up sore from last night, stiff. The bed beside me was completely empty.I felt a terrible surge in my chest and ran to my small bathroom. The light coming through the small window in the morning was dim grey, and there was absolute silence except for dripping water. I picked up the Iye soap on top of the basin and washed my face aggressively with the rough soap.Trying to scrub away Gideon's scent off my skin. Pine, Rain, and Whiskey. And the lingering physical stickiness.Flashes of last night kept obstructing my vision as I looked at myself in the mirror. I felt very ashamed of myself. I felt exposed and numb emotionally.‘Great, I will have to live with this guilt for decades to come.’I breathed in and out slowly out of exhaustion.‘The Alpha got what he needed. He is back to his normal life, which is beside his wife. Which means I have to stop thinking about how my body reacts and know that that was just a business transaction. It was never supposed to end rom

  • The Broken Luna's Surrogate   The Second Attempt

    POV: VIVIAN“We must complete what we started. The healer said the Luna's condition is critical and would only worsen with time. The blood moon countdown is ticking as well.”He said. His voice sounded tired and full of guilt underneath.“Undress and come to the bed immediately.” He reached for the belt on his waist and loosened the hook.My chest kept pounding. I could hear my own heartbeat.I stood there watching him pull off his robe, pants, and shirt, leaving his bare chest revealed. His cock was massive and huge, dangling before me.‘Is this what I'm taking inside me?’ My sassy brain wouldn't stop acting weird.“Strip.” He groaned. His aura was suffocating, smelling of fresh coconut and wine.He lowered his face in shame. We were both like trapped birds in the same cage.I loosened my dress from my neck all the way down my legs. It dropped to the floor.Alpha Gideon's eyes washed over my bare skin.I tried covering my breast area with my hands, curled up to my chest. Then I felt
