Joss

I couldn’t get Arielle’s face out of my head.

The moment I stepped through the front door, I expected the familiar sense of coming home.

Instead, there was only emptiness.

I closed the door behind me and stood there for several seconds, staring into the house.

This had once been our home.

Arielle’s laughter had filled these rooms. Her perfume had lingered in the hallways. Her photographs had covered the walls. Her things had been everywhere.

Now there were empty spaces where she used to be

  • The Forgotten Luna   Chapter 84

    Gideon’s PerspectiveTwelve years.Twelve long years since I had last stood beneath the Ice Lake moon.Twelve years since I had watched a little girl disappear into the darkness while the people who were supposed to protect her prepared to bury the truth.And now, somehow, the past was clawing its way back to the surface.I stood beside the window of the small house, watching rain slide down the glass. Beyond the trees, the town slept beneath a blanket of darkness. It was quiet here. Ordinary.That was why I had chosen it.Ordinary people asked ordinary questions. They didn’t demand explanations for the scars on your body or wonder why a man with no family never spoke about his past.Most importantly, nobody here knew that Gideon Vale had died twelve years ago.At least, nobody was supposed to know.My phone lay on the table behind me.The photograph had been sent.The message had been delivered.And somewhere, miles away, Arielle and Henry were looking at an image that should never h

    Henry’s PerspectiveFor several seconds, neither of us spoke.I stared at the photograph on the screen, studying the face of the man standing beside Eliza. Time had changed him, but not enough to hide the truth. The same sharp jaw. The same distinctive scar cutting through his left eyebrow. The same cold, watchful eyes that had once made grown warriors straighten their backs whenever he entered a room.There was no mistaking him.“Gideon Vale,” I whispered.Arielle’s fingers tightened around mine.“No.” Her voice was barely audible. “That’s impossible.”I glanced at her.“You know him?”She looked at me as though I had asked whether she knew her own name.“Gideon was Ice Lake’s former Beta. He served Joss’s parents long before Joss became Alpha. He trained some of the strongest warriors in the pack, and when I was younger, he taught me how to defend myself.”Her gaze returned to the photograph.“He was like family to everyone.”Everyone.Except, apparently, the people who had arranged

    ArielleI couldn’t stop looking at the photograph.I’d tried.I’d put my phone down, walked away, made myself a cup of tea, and told myself that I needed to think clearly before making any decisions.But every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face.Eliza.The little girl who used to follow me around Ice Lake.The girl who’d once confessed that she was afraid of her own brother’s expectations because everyone seemed to believe being born into an Alpha family meant she had to be fearless.The girl who’d asked me whether it was possible to love your family and still want a life that belonged entirely to you.I remembered telling her that it was.I remembered her smiling.And then I remembered nothing.Not her leaving.Not a farewell.Not even a clear memory of anyone telling me she’d gone away.Just a blank space where an entire person should have been.How could I have forgotten her?How could all those years have passed without me questioning what happened?I pressed my fingers against

    HenryMy phone rang at 1:17 a.m.I answered before the second ring.“Henry?”Joss.For several seconds, neither of us spoke.I hadn’t spoken to him directly in months, and the last thing I’d expected was to hear his voice in the middle of the night.“What do you want, Joss?”“I need your help.”The words were so unexpected that I almost laughed.This was the man who had broken Arielle’s heart. The man who had allowed another woman to take her place and had made Arielle feel as though everything they’d shared meant nothing.And now he was calling me.“Why would you think I’d help you?”“Because I think someone has been messing with my head.”That silenced me.I sat upright.“Explain.”“I found something in the pack archives. Records relating to a woman named Mara. There was an investigation into her disappearance, and someone removed the evidence.”“Who?”“That’s what I’m trying to establish. But there’s something else.”He stopped speaking.I could hear his breathing.“Joss?”“Clare w

    JossSomething was wrong with my pack.For weeks, I’d been telling myself the problems were temporary. That my inability to concentrate was a consequence of losing Arielle. That the growing tension among my warriors was nothing more than the natural result of an Alpha struggling through a difficult period.I’d convinced myself that Clare was helping me.I’d believed her when she said the pack needed time to adjust.I’d even accepted her assurances that the responsibilities Arielle once managed were being taken care of.But the longer I sat in my office, staring at reports that should have been completed days ago, the more I wondered whether I had been making excuses for something I didn’t understand.And I was beginning to resent the fact that every time I questioned Clare, she somehow managed to turn the conversation back to Arielle.It was becoming predictable.Almost rehearsed.That morning, I decided I would no longer allow myself to be distracted.I needed answers.And I intended

    CarlosI had made a mistake.It was a small mistake, easily overlooked by someone who believed himself to be untouchable.But I had survived this long by recognising the smallest cracks before they became disasters.And there was a crack in my plan.Luca.The bastard had returned to Ice Lake at precisely the wrong time, asking questions he had no business asking and looking at Clare as though he could see straight through her.Worse, someone had begun interfering with the witch’s work.Someone who understood enough about the spell to know it wasn’t behaving as it should.I stood in front of the window in the private room I’d rented outside the pack’s territory, watching the trees sway in the evening breeze.My phone lay on the desk behind me.Three unanswered calls.Two messages.One growing suspicion.Clare had assured me that Joss was becoming increasingly dependent on her. She had told me his judgment was deteriorating, that the pack was losing confidence in him, and that his grief
