The Broken Luna's Surrogate The Poison
Luna Cynthia's POVThe silk sheets of my bed were cold, no matter how high the maid stoked the hearth fire.I sat by the tall, arched window of my private bedchamber, wrapped in a heavy velvet robe lined with ermine fur. Below, the dawn mist was just beginning to burn off the dark canopy of the Blood River forest.To anyone walking through the grand hallways of the packhouse, I was the tragic Luna, a delicate, fading flower who bore her barrenness with heartbreaking grace. I was the gentle woman who had selflessly permitted her husband to take a surrogate to save his throne from his illegitimate stepbrother.They pitied me. The pack elders bowed their heads when I passed, offering quiet prayers to the Moon Mother for my failing health.If only they knew.The iron latch of my chamber door clicked softly.I didn't turn around immediately. I listened to the steady, heavy cadence of his footsteps against the hardwood floor. Alpha Gideon. My husband. My mate of ten years. The man whose
The Broken Luna's Surrogate Marcus's Shock
Marcus's POVIn my fifteen years as Beta of the Blood River Pack, I had viewed the world through a single, different picture that was : survival.To me, a pack was not built on sentimental ideals or dramatic grandstanding. It was built on numbers, supply lines, political alliances, and tactical force. Every wolf had its own function. Every choice a person makes had a cost.And right now, the numbers were bleeding us dry to the core.I stood in the center of the cottage living room, watching Senior Healer Thomas wipe the clear liquid from his silver testing tray.The negative result felt like a cold blade slipping into our defenses. Silas was at the borders, spending gold like water to buy off council elders before the Blood Moon comes. Luna Cynthia was fading faster each week, becoming more pale than usual. The pack was teetering on the edge of a bloody civil war, and our entire stability rested on a barren Beta surrogate hidden in the woods.The solution was blindingly simple."Voi
The Broken Luna's Surrogate A Moment of Tenderness
Vivian's POVMy breath felt trapped in my chest.I sat on the edge of the small bed, my knees pulled tightly against my body, listening to the silence from the living room.The pressure of Gideon's Alpha command had reached straight through the thick wooden door moments ago, heavy enough to make my own wolf cower in the dark corners of my mind. I had heard every single word. I had heard Marcus call for my dismissal. I had heard him urge Gideon to void my contract, pay me the pitiful base fee, and send me back to Silver Ridge like a broken piece of furniture.And I had heard Gideon snap.The sheer authority in his voice when he commanded Marcus to never speak of replacing me had shaken the entire cottage.This should have been a simple contract and I left. The way the Alpha protects me is becoming absurd. How does he prefer to keep a nobody like me while his reputation is at stake.My hands were shaking as I reached down to grab my faded canvas bag resting on the wooden floor. Automati
The Broken Luna's Surrogate Gideon Refuses
Gideon's POV"Void her contract, pay her the base attendance fee, and send her back to Silver Ridge today."Marcus's words hung in the quiet cottage.He was speaking with the practical mind of a Beta who saw everything as numbers, plans, and military decisions. Lord Vane's daughter. An Alpha-blooded female. A quick political alliance to calm the council elders before the Blood Moon. On paper, it was the only reasonable choice left.And yet, as his words settled in my chest, something inside me broke.My wolf, usually quiet beneath the weight of my responsibilities, suddenly rose with a fury so strong that the edges of my vision turned red. The temperature in the small living room seemed to drop. Even the shadows in the corners looked darker.Send her back?Send Vivian back to the father who had struck her across the face? Back to the pack that had called her a whore? Back to a freezing house with a dying mother and an angry brother, with nothing in her hands after everything she had s
The Broken Luna's Surrogate The Second Pregnancy Test
Vivian's POVThirty days.Thirty long, quiet days had passed since I stepped into the isolated cottage on the Blood River estate. Thirty nights of staring at the dark ceiling, listening to the heavy, uneven breathing of an Alpha who refused to speak my name, and enduring a physical union that felt like another piece of me was being taken away every night.Every morning after Gideon left, I scrubbed my skin with cold water from the basin until it turned red. Then I would stand by the small window and watch the morning sun rise over the trees, reminding myself why I was here.Fifty thousand marks for the house. One hundred thousand for Toby. Mom is safe. Toby is in school. You can survive this.It was a sentence I repeated so many times that the words had almost lost their meaning. They became nothing more than something I told myself every morning so I wouldn't fall apart.The sound of boots on the gravel outside broke the quiet I was in.I stood by the hearth, my hands tightening arou
The Broken Luna's Surrogate The Report to Gideon
Vivian's POVThe cottage seemed smaller whenever I was alone with my thoughts.For three days after Silas’s envoy slipped through the tree line at night, I had kept the parchment hidden under my thin mattress. He had offered me double my contract price to sell out Alpha Gideon. One hundred and fifty thousand gold marks up front, no questions asked, no child required. All I had to do was sign a statement claiming Alpha Gideon was unfit, abusive, or forcing me against my will.It was enough money to buy back my mother’s house three times over. It was enough to send Toby to the finest university in the human cities, buy him a proper estate, and make sure my mother never had to set foot in a communal infirmary again. It was everything I had sacrificed my body for, and now I could have it without spending another night lying in the dark, waiting for a man who refused to look at my face.But every time I touched the edge of that parchment, my stomach turned.I knew that font. I knew that ki
