The Loathed Luna: A Sister's Substitute EPILOGUE
KATARINAI woke to the quiet weight of Alexander’s arm around me and the steady rhythm of his breathing against my back. For a long moment, I lay there, letting the peace of it settle. The rain had stopped, and I could feel that it was going to be a wonderful day—if not for anything else, then for the fact that it was my first day as a free woman again after months.When I shifted, Alexander stirred, his lips brushing my bare shoulder, then the side of my neck.I turned in his arms so I could see his face. Sleep still softened his features, but his eyes were clear and intent when they met mine as he told me he loved me.My heart flipped, despite it not being the first time he had said it, and I told him I loved him too. It was as we drew back that I lifted my hand to his chest and gasped, seeing the most beautiful diamond ring glistening on my ring finger.I gasped, eyes wide.“Marry me,” he said, the words soft and almost conversational but landing with the full weight that made my h
The Loathed Luna: A Sister's Substitute CHAPTER 111: SAFETY
KATARINAEvening settled over the stronghold in long blue shadows.It had been a week since everything that had happened, and I stood in the quiet of Alexander’s suite, fixing the dark dress the women had brought for the ritual. The day following Greyson’s banishment, Alexander accompanied my aunt and me to the lake. We wanted to thank Olympia for everything she had done for me and apologize to her for not knowing she had been murdered. We also urged her to rest now, and later the elders joined us. They felt equally guilty for not knowing. The day had come to end the marriage bond that still legally tied me to Greyson, and I was beyond ready. Because he was no longer part of the pack and no longer my husband in any living sense, the ceremony would be carried out by women alone, which made it simpler.Alexander reentered and closed the door behind him before simply looking at me for a moment, taking in the formal dress. Then he crossed the room and pulled me into his arms.The hug was

ALEXANDER“I did not choose this for you,” I said. “Do not mistake it for pity. Do not mistake it for mercy you somehow earned. I chose it for the pack. For the people who deserve better than an Alpha driven only by vengeance after being ruled by a murderer and a fraud.”I crouched so that we were at eye level and held his gaze without blinking.“When you are taken upstairs, some of what you did will not be spoken. You will not speak of it either. You will accept the charges that are named, you will accept the sentence that follows, and then you will leave. If there was ever a time you cared about me—if there was ever a time you cared about the man we both called father—you will do this. You will not make it worse than it already is.”Greyson said nothing, his face remaining unreadable, and the question that had lived under my ribs since the truth first cracked open finally forced its way out.“Did he know?” I asked. “Did Father know you were not his son?”I had told myself that he co
The Loathed Luna: A Sister's Substitute CHAPTER 109: ALPHA ALEXANDER
ALEXANDERNext came the matter of Cyra’s father, who had not been part of Greyson’s deeper, longer schemes. His crimes were specific—helping hide Marcus’s body and later assisting in the cover-up of the jet fire under direct orders from his Alpha.The elders discussed his fate at length, weighing loyalty against complicity, fear against duty. Some wanted harsher punishment, while others pointed out that refusing an Alpha’s command in those moments could have meant his own death or the endangerment of his family.In the end, they chose a measured path.“You are stripped of your rank as Warrior Chief, effective immediately,” Elder Jason declared, his voice carrying the finality of pack law. “You are pardoned for your part in concealing Marcus’s death and the related cover-ups, on the strict and permanent condition that you never speak of what truly happened to anyone. Not to family. Not in confidence, not even on your deathbed. If you break that silence for any reason, the pardon is voi
The Loathed Luna: A Sister's Substitute CHAPTER 108: A MURDERING FRAUD
KATARINA Sunlight streamed through the bedroom window and across the bed when Alexander stirred. I felt him wake before he fully opened his eyes from the subtle shift of his body and the way his arm tightened around my waist, as if checking that I was still there. We had eventually made our way from the shower to his bed last night. Afterward, we had talked for a long time in the dark, and I told him everything that had happened since the summit, everything Cyra had confessed, everything the elders now knew. He confirmed what I already knew from Cyra: that he had overheard Cyra and Greyson. He also told me, quietly, that Greyson had killed her, and I figured it must have been the reason Cyra’s father had looked so broken when he confessed to helping Greyson with Marcus. We were both still reeling, and I could feel the deeper hurt Alexander tried to keep from showing. He had loved Greyson once as his only brother, and that love had not vanished overnight, even after everything. A
The Loathed Luna: A Sister's Substitute CHAPTER 107: HOME
KATARINAWe walked Alexander to his suite in near silence, the elders staying close until the door closed behind us. Elder Jason spoke quietly about the meeting that needed to be held to decide what would come next. But tonight, he urged us to try and rest.He left afterward with all the elders, and Aunt Nora lingered only long enough to hug us and press a soft kiss to my temple. Then she left too.The suite fell quiet except for the sound of Alexander’s uneven breathing as he stood in the middle of the living area, still streaked with blood and his eyes dark with everything he had just survived.When he finally looked at me, his voice came out low and rough. “Please don’t leave.”“I wasn’t going to,” I said, walking over to him. “Come, let's get you cleaned up.” I took his hand and led him toward the bathroom, and he followed without resistance.Inside, I turned the water on as hot as we could stand, and the first rush of heat against my skin made me shiver. I helped him out of the t
