The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 150: The Truth He Concealed
MELISSAI heard her before I understood what I was hearing.It was past ten, and I had only come downstairs for water. The twins were asleep, Brian curled around his stuffed wolf, Jennie sprawled sideways across her pillows like a small starfish. The house had that settled, creaking quiet that big houses get at night, and I was halfway down the hall when a voice came out of Roger's study.A woman's voice. Low. Steady. Furious.“...since the first day. Every lie. Every signature. You didn't just trap me, Roger, you built the trap before I even knew I was walking into it.”I stopped.I knew that voice. I had never heard it in my life.I knew it anyway, the way you know a face in a crowd after years of seeing it only in dreams. It was the voice that should have been behind Naraya's careful little notes, the one I'd imagined, idly, when she wrote _thank you_ on her pad and smiled at me over the twins' heads.Lower than I'd expected. Warmer. And absolutely unafraid.The door was open a few
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 149: What the Whiskey Said
NARAYAI stole from him on a Thursday.Roger had been very clear about what he wanted. Not much, he said, nothing that would hurt anyone. Just the shipping manifests for the southern trade route, the ones Caspian kept in a locked drawer in his study, and any correspondence with the Northern Pack. Insurance, Roger called it. So we know where we stand.I sat at my desk for two hours before I made myself do it.Caspian had gone to a council meeting on the thirty-second floor. Delphine was at lunch. The corridor outside his office was empty and the whole floor hummed with that thick, expensive quiet that makes every small sound feel like a confession.The drawer wasn't locked. That was the part that broke something in me.He had given me a key to the study three days earlier without a word of explanation. Just set it on my desk with the morning coffee and said, “In case you need to work in there.”I photographed eleven pages with Zilla's old phone. My hands were so steady I hated them. Th
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 148: The Lesser Devil
NARAYARoger was in the kitchen when I came down the next morning, humming.That was the first wrong thing. He never hummed. He stood at the counter in his shirtsleeves with a cup of coffee, the sun spilling over his shoulders, looking like a man who'd slept well and woken up generous. The crack in the hallway wall had already been plastered over. The shattered glass was gone. There wasn't a single trace of last night left in the house.Except the way my wrist still ached.“Sit,” he said, pulling out a chair. “I made breakfast.”“I'm not hungry.”“You're eating for two.” He smiled, soft and sad, and set a plate of eggs in front of me. “Please, Naya. I owe you an apology.”I sat. Slowly. Ava was on edge beneath my ribs, her hackles up, whispering that this was worse, this was so much worse than the wall.“I lost my temper,” Roger said, taking the chair across from me. His silver eyes were clear and tired. “I was cruel, and I scared you, and I'm sorry. It's just… when you said his name,
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 147: The First Meeting
ROGERI saw the car before I saw her.Black, low, expensive, the kind of machine that didn't belong in a driveway like mine because it belonged to a man who owned half the driveways in the realm. It rolled to a stop at the foot of my front steps at a quarter to midnight, engine purring, and I stood behind the study curtain with a glass of whiskey going warm in my hand and watched Caspian Zachary's driver step out to open the rear door.Not Caspian himself. Not yet.Naraya stepped out first, her cardigan pulled tight around her middle, her long hair loose and a little windblown. She bent back toward the open door and said something I couldn't hear. A pause. Then he leaned out into the light of my porch lamp, grey eyes on her face, and said something back that made her duck her head, and I saw her smile.A small one. Barely there. But real.I had not seen that smile in over a year.The glass cracked in my hand.“You're home late,” I said, when she came through the front door.She jumped
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 146: Walls Coming Down
NARAYAHe kept a piano in his private study.I found it by accident, three weeks into my new position, when Delphine sent me to retrieve a signed contract from the room adjoining his office and I opened the wrong door first. A baby grand sat in the corner, half-covered in a dust sheet like something he'd meant to get rid of and never quite managed, sheet music stacked beside it, yellowed at the edges.I stood there a beat too long, staring, and that was how he found me — in the doorway of a room I had no business being in, caught red-handed admiring something he clearly hadn't meant for anyone to see.“Wrong door,” I wrote quickly, heat climbing up my neck.He looked at the piano, then at me, something unreadable moving across his face.“It was hers,” he said. Just that. No explanation. He didn't need to give one. I understood, the way I understood most things about him now, through the careful accumulation of silences rather than words.“You don't play?” I wrote.“Not anymore.”I sho
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 145: Watching My Husband
MELISSAI used to think I knew every version of Roger's face.The one he wore for my father, careful and deferential, a future son-in-law proving he deserved the Northern Pack's alliance. The one he wore for the board, confident, commanding, every word landing like a decree. The one he wore for me in bed, hungry and warm, the one that had once convinced a guarded girl like me that her heart was finally safe in someone's hands.I did not know this new face. The one he wore when Naraya walked into a room.It happened first at dinner, three nights after she'd started working under the Lycan King. She came down late, apologising with her hands the way she always did now, a quick little gesture toward the clock and then a small, tired shrug. Roger's head turned before she'd even reached the doorway. Not the way a brother's head turns for a sister.The way a man's head turns for something he's afraid of losing.“You're late,” he said, and there was an edge under the words that had nothing t
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 3: Don't Take It To Heart
NARAYA“Roger… where are you?” Melissa's voice drifted down the corridor. Her heels echoing closer.The aggressive heat in Roger's eyes melted into a cold panic. He dropped his hand from my shirt, stepping back just enough to break the intimate space between us.“Play along,” he whispered, his orbs
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 2: You Are Mine
NARAYA“Daddy? Who is this woman?”A cold, unexplainable ache ripped through my chest as the little boy’s words echoed in my head for a few seconds.My Roger... Daddy?I stared at Roger, waiting for an explanation. A laugh. An indication that the pup was lying, joking, or even wrong.But his face w
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 1: He Doesn't Love You
“The hardest lies to escape are the ones we tell ourselves for love.”NARAYA“You do know I’m still against you doing this, don’t you?” Zilla growled, stomping up the stairs behind me. Her fingers tightened around the flower basket.My jaw tightened. I took the remaining stairs two at a time and sk
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 5: Play Along For A While
NARAYA“Tell me you are joking, Raya.” Zilla's eyes widened behind her glasses. I lowered my gaze, suddenly picking interest in tracing the lines in my palm.“I’m not.”“Geez, Raya, you are twenty-three, not eighteen. How could you let that happen?”Neither of us spoke for a moment as we let the mu
