I stared at him blankly, the storm behind my eyes barely contained. My hands curled into fists at my sides, but I refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing me lose control. Without a word, I brushed past him.

“You still have the audacity to stand in front of me like this?” I muttered under my breath. “Pathetic.”

His low chuckle echoed behind me, as grating as I remembered.

“Correction,” he said coolly. “You came to me.”

I stopped cold. My spine straightened as I turned back slowly.

There he was, the same insufferable arrogance draped over him like a tailored cloak. He gestured lazily between us.

“You came to me,” he repeated, as if to remind me just how little power I had in this moment.

“Oh, please,” I snapped, my voice sharper than I intended. “If you hadn’t twisted my father’s hand, if you hadn’t manipulated him into summoning me here, do you really think I’d be standing in this miserable place?”

He laughed. Quiet, low, infuriating. The sound of every wound he’d ever carved in

  • The Luna He Couldn't Break    Father's Death

    POV: AnnaMy world stopped. I stared at Seraphina, her words echoing in my head but not making sense. My father just died. No. That couldn't be right. I'd just talked to Uncle Thorne. He said my father was stable. Weak, but stable."You're lying," I said, my voice hollow. "You're lying to hurt me."Seraphina's cruel smile faltered slightly. "I wish I was. But the news came through an hour ago. Ridge Summers, Alpha of the Moonlace Pack, is dead.""No." I shook my head, backing away from her. "No, you're lying. You have to be lying.""Anna." Lucas's voice was gentle behind me, but I couldn't turn to look at him. Couldn't take my eyes off Seraphina's face, searching for any sign that this was just another one of her games. Footsteps sounded in the hallway, hurried and heavy. The door opened wider, and Uncle Thorne appeared. His face was haggard, his eyes red rimmed and swollen. He looked like he'd aged twenty years since I'd last seen him."Uncle Thorne," I whispered, hope and dread warr

  • The Luna He Couldn't Break    The Silver Daughter Prophecy

    POV: AnnaThe creature didn't attack. That was somehow worse than if it had. Instead, it circled me slowly, its massive head lowering to sniff at my hair, my shoulders, my trembling hands. Its breath was hot and rancid, smelling of rot and old blood. I stood frozen, every instinct screaming at me to run, but my legs wouldn't move."Yes," it rumbled, that terrible layered voice reverberating through my bones. "The prophecy is true. The Silver Daughter walks among us once more.""What prophecy?" I forced the words out through my fear.The creature's red eyes bore into mine. "The prophecy written in blood and bone before the first pack was formed. The Silver Daughter will either save our kind or condemn us all to darkness. You are the fulcrum upon which our fate balances.""That's insane," I whispered. "I'm nobody. I can't even access my own wolf.""Your wolf is the least of what you carry." The creature's voice dropped lower, almost reverent. "You house two souls, Silver Daughter. One w

  • The Luna He Couldn't Break    Journey To The Forbidden Hollow

    POV: AnnaThe call about my father had been exactly what I'd feared. Uncle Thorne's voice, heavy with grief, confirming that Ridge Summers, Alpha of the Moonlace Pack, was gone. I'd watched him die through some impossible vision, unable to reach him, unable to say goodbye.I'd cried until there were no tears left. Now I just felt empty. Lucas had tried to comfort me, but I'd pushed him away. I didn't want his comfort. Didn't want his lies. Seraphina's words kept echoing in my head. A womb with a pedigree. A convenient solution.But I'd agreed to go to the Hollow anyway. Not because I trusted him, but because I needed answers. And because some stubborn part of me still wanted to live, even if I didn't understand why. Now, standing at the edge of the Forbidden Hollow with a pack of supplies and a team of grim faced guards, I was starting to regret that decision."Last chance to turn back," Dr. Kieran said, checking the straps on his bag. His scarred face looked even more severe in the d
