I woke up on Ms. Daisy's couch feeling more than refreshed.

The light filtering through the gauzy curtains was gentle. My limbs didn't feel like cinderblocks today. My brain didn't feel like a beehive stuffed with smoke. And most of all, my stomach wasn't chewing itself apart. I'd eaten well the night before—real food, not scraps—and I'd slept without jerking awake from stress.

It was... foreign. But in the best way.

After a quiet stretch and a few deep breaths, I got dressed—just a simple cotton dress I'd pulled from the small stack of hand-me-downs Ms. Daisy had tucked into the corner of the second bedroom. I brushed my hair quickly, tied it back, and came into the kitchen to find breakfast already set out for me. I sat down and dug in without much thought. Eggs, toast, even sausage. I still wasn't used to having choices, but I wasn't about to question it.

I was halfway through chewing when there was a knock at the front door.

"I'll get it," Ms. Daisy huffed, already making her

  • The Luna Lives Again   Confessions

    I was starting to think in overdrive now after our meal was unexpectedly given to us for free by the owner, and for nothing in particular. We were sitting in the park under a tall elm tree, and while Robbie casually bit into the rest of his pastry, I was spiraling inside. This wasn't the first suspicious circumstance surrounding Robbie though. He'd gotten me an ID card and papers like it was no problem. He directly set up a meeting with the elders and they waited for us—waited for us! He'd arranged for a special doctor at the hospital to block out time for me for prenatal exams. That same doctor had actually listened to Robbie when he said I could heal a broken leg with my hands. People around here knew him by name. They greeted him like an old friend, but also with a kind of reverence that went beyond casual affection. It couldn't just be because he was handsome. "Are you an Alpha?" I blurted out. Robbie blinked, then gave a sheepish little smile. "Oh, you noticed. Guess it saves

    "That's enough," I said, pushing the hairbrush away from my head. Ms. Daisy was way more excited about me going out today than I was. "He's just showing me around. What's there to get excited about?" "It's a date, Bonnie," Ms. Daisy said, wagging a finger at me like she was scolding a teenager. "It's a friendly outing," I corrected her firmly, crossing my arms. "You two have gone out together almost every day for the past two weeks. How much of the town is left to see? That boy clearly likes you." "So I must like him back?" I arched a brow. "I guess not," she said with a shrug, "but it doesn't change that he still asked you out. Which makes this, and all those other 'friendly outings,' dates." When the oracle set Jason and me up, he'd never shown up for even one date. His mother did, though. She was such a lovely person. We talked for hours, nearly every day we met. I thought I'd get to see more of her, but after the wedding, she retired and left on a long vacation—permanently o

  • The Luna Lives Again   Jason

    "What do you mean Elliot is still sick? How has he not gotten better yet?" I snapped at Bertram. "Hasn't he been getting his supplement meals from Tanya?" "No, Alpha Jason. We've brought her here to let you know why," Bertram said stiffly, his face unreadable. At least he was competent enough to do that much. "Send her in." Bertram nodded, then turned on his heel and left the room. A moment later, Tanya walked in and bowed, stiffly. "Alpha Jason." When she stood up, I almost recoiled. Tanya had been around my family since I was a kid—she was closer to Elliot, but still a familiar presence. Usually she was polished, bubbly, the kind of girl who smiled too much and baked when she was anxious. But today? Her outfit looked like she grabbed it from the floor. Her hair was messy. Her eyes were red and puffy, with shadows underneath like she hadn't slept in days. "You look awful," I blurted out. "Thanks. I feel awful," she muttered. "What did you want?" What the hell was wrong with he

  • The Luna Lives Again   Unilateral Rivalry

    I never imagined my morning would end with me walking into a hospital room to visit an idiot who'd managed to fall off his bike and down a flight of stairs into a river, apparently. Yet here I was. Walking. I wasn't even supposed to come—I was only here because Robbie called Ms. Daisy, and she couldn't leave the bar. I figured someone had to represent her, and it'd look bad if no one showed up. Besides, it'd be rude not to take the invitation. And if I'm anything, it's polite. Or at least trying to be. The room was quiet except for a low conversation between Robbie and a doctor, but the moment I stepped inside, Robbie's eyes lit up like a kid who just got the biggest present under the tree. "Hey! I told you she was going to come see me!" he grinned, pointing toward me like I was a prize. Shit. That was... kind of cute. I blinked. "Ms. Daisy's busy, so I came in her place. Are you alright?" Robbie frowned, shifting his arms slightly but keeping still. His leg was elevated and

  • The Luna Lives Again   A Karen

    The moment Robbie said, "I'd like to spend more time with you," I thought I'd misheard him or that maybe I was hallucinating. Spend more time with me? Was he insane? No one had ever said that to me before—except maybe Tanya, but that didn't count. She was the only person back in BlueMont who genuinely liked me. Everyone else? They barely tolerated me, if that. What did Robbie even mean by that? He wanted to spend time with me? Why? What was so good about me? "What?" I asked, blinking at him. His ears were a little red. Odd. It wasn't hot out. He looked down at the grass, then back up at me with a kind of shy boldness I'd never seen before except on TV. "Well, I thought you were really pretty the first moment I saw you. And you don't have to do anything Luna-like or use your magic, but... I'd like if you gave me the opportunity to become more than just a friend one day." I sat still. Completely still. Robbie must have taken that as a bad sign, because he quickly added, "Not to a

  • The Luna Lives Again   Summerton View

    I'd never taken time to just stroll around town before in my life. Walking with no destination, no task, no list of expectations buzzing in my head like flies on shit—it was very strange. But not a bad kind of strange. Robbie and I started from the train station, and right away, he pointed out Main Street like a tour guide in a werewolf-themed travel show. As we walked down the crowded sidewalk, I felt my body tense with an old, familiar habit—head lowered, steps fast and light, shoulders drawn tight to shrink myself down. Don't look anyone in the eye. Don't attract attention. Don't stand out. But Robbie was the exact opposite. He strolled like he had nowhere to be, one hand casually in his pocket, the other constantly pointing at signs, storefronts, windows, and little details I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. "This part of town is where a lot of the werewolves congregate to buy werewolf stuff," he said. "It'll have everything you could ever need. Including inhibitors with no s
