The Loathed Luna: A Sister's Substitute CHAPTER 40: PANIC
GREYSONThe fire had long since burned down to embers, and only faint heat remained where the pyre had stood, glowing red beneath a blanket of ash. The forest had grown quiet in the clearing, but I could still hear the pack beyond the trees. It was like a distant engine, low voices and laughter breaking through grief, along with the clatter of mugs. No one slept after the warfire of an alpha; his life was celebrated until dawn. Meats were roasted while ale and stories flowed over and over again until they became legend. But my brother and I hadn’t joined them.We had stayed in the woods, leaning against an old oak a few feet from the ashes of our father. A bottle hung loosely from my hand, and I had lost count of how many we had opened. I just knew that we should have been drunk enough, but we weren’t. Our hearts were too heavy for that mercy.Alexander let out a quiet laugh beside me, shaking his head. “Remember when he caught us trying to sneak out to the lower cliffs?” I huffed a
The Loathed Luna: A Sister's Substitute CHAPTER 39: THE HUNT BEYOND THE VEIL
CYRAI kept pushing, elbow to shoulder and shoulder to back, until the clearing in front of me began to open, and the torches expanded into a ring of firelight. The pyre crackled louder, the heat brushing against my face from a distance. And then I saw him: my Greyson. He stood at the head of the massive wooden pyre, the firelight illuminating his features, and he didn't look like the man I knew. He looked like the king of grief, and my legs locked.I couldn't move any further, despite my decision to stand in the front line and let him see me. Instead, the lake came rushing back behind my eyelids, and I saw his eyes, unrecognizable and wild, as he dragged me out of the car. I felt the rage that radiated from him as he threw me into that water, and I could feel his hands around my neck, my throat burning as if phantom fingers were pressing on it.I tried to take a step forward, telling myself time had passed since then—trying to remember everything I told myself back in my apartment—b
The Loathed Luna: A Sister's Substitute CHAPTER 38: GLOWING
KATARINAI looked in the mirror as I fastened the final button on my red dress, each one more difficult than the last. After breakfast, I took a long shower, allowing the hot water to wash over me as my mind replayed everything that had happened between Greyson and me. I was still afloat. Still flushed and warm. But now, as I zipped up the back of my dress, reality set in. We were about to say goodbye to Alpha Gerard, and every movement and quiet breath I took brought my heart down.I was just about to finish fastening my earrings when a knock came at my bedroom door, and I froze in surprise, realizing I hadn't even heard the front door open. But then a familiar scent hit me—the scent of home—and my heart skipped a beat. I gasped, dropping the hairpin I had in one hand as I dashed toward the door and ripped it open so fast I almost tore it off the hinges. “Aunt Nora!" She stood there smiling, and I threw myself in her arms.She laughed as she wrapped her arms tightly around me, just
The Loathed Luna: A Sister's Substitute CHAPTER 37: ON CLOUD NINE
CYRAOpening my eyes, I didn’t know where I was. The ceiling above me wasn’t the one in Greyson’s suite. It was lower and wooden, and the faint scent in the air wasn’t polished marble and expensive cologne. It was herbs and soap, and my heart began to beat faster. I pushed myself up on the bed, blinking as I took in the unfamiliar room, floral curtains, a small dresser, and a woven rug. Then it all came crashing back, Greyson’s hands around my throat, the lake, the water forcing itself into my lungs and then… Olympia. I sat up so abruptly that the room tilted and my fingers flew to my neck. It still ached, but it was now bandaged, and it was then that I realized I could feel my wolf again, but she was weak. A knock sounded at the door before I could call out to her, and I froze.My heart raced, suddenly unable to find my voice, and the knock came again. I swallowed and forced my voice to work. “Y-yes?”“It’s Nora.” A woman’s voice came from the other side, and it was familiar too. “
The Loathed Luna: A Sister's Substitute CHAPTER 36: SWEET INNOCENT KATARINA
KATARINA“I don't deserve anyone." Greyson’s words ripped through me. But before I could process them, my wolf charged forward. 'Move,' she snapped inside my head. 'This is our chance. Get your stuff and get out now.'My breathing became shallow as I admitted that she was right. I had known nothing but misery since the first night I arrived at this place, and he clearly had no intention of ever being good to me. My body moved, and I grabbed my robe from the chair and hurriedly shrugged it on before giving Greyson one last look, to see him leaning forward with his elbows on his knees and face buried in his hands.He looked broken, but I forced myself to turn away, taking long strides across the room and into the closet. My wolf kept pushing. 'Faster before he changes his mind. And chooses to punish us instead.' She was right, so I opened the closet and pulled out one of the suitcases. It thudded onto the floor, loud in the quiet room, and I glanced at Greyson again, but he didn't lo
The Loathed Luna: A Sister's Substitute CHAPTER 35: A HUSBAND
THIRD-PARTY VIEWKatarina’s aunt’s shock froze her for a second as she stared down at Cyra sprawled across her floor, drenched, covered in mud, eyes wild and unfocused. Cyra’s hair clung to her face, her clothes soaked through, streaking dark smears across the wooden boards as her entire body trembled. “Goddess, Cyra?” Nora breathed again, dropping to her knees beside her. She reached for her but paused when she heard the broken whisper spilling from Cyra’s lips.“Olympia… Olympia…”The name made Nora’s heart plummet before her pulse spiked. It all made sense now. Cyra had been by the lake, and Nora swallowed. Rumors had spread through the village ever since Olympia died—whispers of a pale figure in the water, of laughter drifting across the surface at night, and something moving beneath the water. Others sometimes reported wailing that would continue until dawn, and some reported singing. It was the reason no one went near the lake after sunset anymore. Before that, the lake was
