CYRA

Greyson’s chest heaved in ragged breaths against mine, his eyes wide with a mix of shock and frustration that mirrored the turmoil churning inside me, while the heat of his skin contrasted the sudden chill settling in the air.

He said he didn’t know what was happening to him, and I believed it because this had never happened before. I could feel the tension in his muscles, the way his body had gone rigid from the raw embarrassment of this moment.

It tugged at my heart, pulling me closer e

  • The Loathed Luna: A Sister's Substitute    CHAPTER 86: JEALOUS

    KATARINAI lay in the bed with my eyes closed, but sleep refused to come. I had been hoping for a nap, so I was disappointed but I had myself to blame. I couldn't stop thinking about Greyson's face and the weight in his eyes, even though I knew he had told me not to worry. But he was my husband, and it wasn't easy to let him go through things alone, especially those that seemed to weigh on his soul.I was still wrestling with the thoughts when a soft click broke the silence. I opened my eyes just as the cabin door eased open. Greyson stepped inside, and I raised my head but said nothing.Without saying a word, he shrugged off his jacket and draped it over a nearby chair before making his way to the bed. Rolling onto my side, I wrapped my arms around him as he climbed in next to me, being careful not to wrinkle his shirt and pants.He pecked my lips before relaxing into my embrace, and I rested my cheek against his shoulder. Being this close to him gave me a small measure of comfort,

    KATARINAI was still standing in the living room, trying not to let my imagination run wild, when I finally heard the suite door open. Relief rushed through me, and I hurried toward the entrance.“Greyson."The word left me before I even reached him, and I searched his face the moment I stopped in front of him. “Is everything okay?"He answered yes. But the moment I looked into his eyes, I knew something wasn't right. He looked exhausted. His face was drawn, and there was a heaviness about him that hadn't been there this morning.Concern tightened in my chest, and I stepped closer and asked again if he was sure. This time, he looked at me for a brief second before quietly telling me it was nothing I needed to worry about.So there was something? Just not for me to worry about? That didn't make me feel better. But I didn't push. I'd learned by now that pushing didn't help. So instead, I opened my mouth to ask another question, wondering whether he was even still going to the summit. Bu

  • The Loathed Luna: A Sister's Substitute    CHAPTER 84: A DANGEROUS ALPHA

    GREYSONI remained where I was, on the cold stone floor beside Alexander, my back against the wall, unable to muster the strength to leave.I'd had a hundred different conversations in my head, and none of them had ended well. I still wasn't sure what I was going to say.The silence between us continued until I noticed his fingers twitch. My body stiffened, and a second later, he moved. His face tightened into a grimace as consciousness gradually returned, and he appeared disoriented at first.His gaze wandered across the cell before settling on me. For a brief moment, there was nothing but confusion before everything returned to him.I watched it happen, the shock, disbelief, heartbreak, and rage. Pure, consuming rage. A growl erupted from his chest as he launched himself at me, but the chains snapped tight before he could reach me.They yanked him backward so violently that he crashed to the floor. For the first time, he noticed the silver collar around his neck and the chains attac

    GREYSONMy mind went blank for a moment as I stared at Alexander, words stuck in my throat. I tried to explain to him that it wasn't what it sounded like, even though it was. But nothing came out correctly, and I only managed to say a few broken words before everything exploded.Alexander stood in the doorway one second and the next he lunged at Cyra. She screamed, the sound reverberating throughout the house as blood poured from her mouth. Alexander had pushed his hand into her chest, and everything happened too quickly.“No!"I reacted instinctively, reaching Alexander just as he drew back to rip out her heart, and a sharp crack echoed throughout the room before his body collapsed. I had snapped his neck and caught him, tumbling with him as he collapsed on top of Cyra, his arm still buried in her wound.For one terrifying second, no one moved, and my hands shook as I got to my knees and pulled Alexander's arm free. Cyra gasped and trembled as fresh blood poured from her chest, makin

    ALEXANDER A knock at my door jolted me awake, and I groaned as I blinked against the soft light of the bedside lamp. My gaze shifted to the clock, which displayed 6:07 a.m.I sat up slowly, rubbing my face, feeling as if my eyes were full of sand from the miserable few hours of sleep I'd had.Still, I was glad whoever was outside woke me up because I had planned to get up early anyway. I wanted to make breakfast in bed for Katarina.Someone had to do it because my brother was too busy with his mistress to be present for his pregnant wife. Crossing the suite, the thought left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.I muttered, “I'm coming," as the person knocked again. I unlocked the door and pulled it open, then froze when I saw my brother and Katarina.Before I could process their presence, my brother's eyes welled up with tears, and he drew me into a tight hug. The squeeze nearly knocked the breath from my lungs, and I froze for a split second before hugging him back.He thanked me, hi

    KATARINA My body still tingled with the aftershocks of what had happened outside, as I slipped back inside the gym. Alexander sat on the bench press in the far corner, elbows on his knees, staring at the floor. He straightened up the moment I entered, his sharp gaze finding mine in the dim light. “I think I should be heading home,” I said softly, offering a small smile. “But… I’ll stay if you need company. I don’t mind.”He stood quickly, stepping closer. “No, I don’t need company. You should go and get some rest.”I nodded, understanding that he needed space after everything we’d shared. We moved toward each other at the same time and wrapped our arms around one another in a long, heartfelt hug. And I held him a little tighter than necessary, breathing him in, before finally pulling back.“Goodnight,” I whispered.“Goodnight,” he replied with a voice rough around the edges.I gave him one last lingering look, then turned and left the gym. The walk back to the main house felt diffe
