"That's Lina?" Tanya gasped, her voice sharp and disgusted.

The severed head rolled a few inches more before resting near the edge of the lavish carpet, and from the shadows behind it stepped the man I'd seen in my dream—the tall one with chilling blue eyes. Now that I was face to face with him, I could smell it clearly.

He reeked of rogue.

"Who are you?" I asked, keeping my voice level even as the air felt tighter around us.

"Welcome to my new little territory," he said smoothly, stepping further into the light. "I'm Jack, but you must know me as the rogue king." His tone was pleasant, almost charming, but there was tension beneath it—like a coiled spring waiting to snap. "Since you came here willingly, would it be safe to assume you've come offering me gifts?"

"Step back, Bonnie," Robbie muttered beside me, placing a steadying hand on my shoulder. "I may not be in a position to say this, but he's letting out some serious bad energy."

Jack's lips curled. "Oh, and I see you've a

  • The Luna Lives Again   The End

    Two years later.... *** I found myself leaning against the porch railing, watching Robbie Jr. tear across the backyard with the kind of boundless energy only a three-year-old could have. He was chasing nothing in particular—just running for the joy of it—his laughter carrying across the warm air. At my feet, Benny was in his own little world, crawling in determined zigzags across the porch, occasionally stopping to slap his hands on the wooden boards like they were drums. My second son, only five months old, and already showing the stubborn streak of his father. Inside, I heard the sliding door open, and Emma stepped out with Tabby in her arms. My daughter squealed the moment she spotted her big brother, legs kicking wildly until Emma set her down. She was barely a year old and had just started walking, but she wasted no time toddling after Jr., her little curls bouncing as she tried to keep up. "So far, so good," I murmured to myself. Robbie Jr. had taken to having two younger

    The satin of my gown shimmered in the light like it was woven from moonlight itself. Each movement made the fabric ripple softly, layers of chiffon floating around me like mist, the train trailing behind with an effortless grace. The bodice was fitted perfectly, every curve outlined without being immodest, the beadwork delicate and intricate—tiny crystals that caught the light and sent it dancing. My veil was so long it nearly brushed the floor even when pinned high on my head, edged in lace so fine I half-believed it was spun by magic. The silver hairpiece nestled in my curls glinted every time I turned my head. "You look gorgeous!" Raya's voice broke into a sob as she stood there, tissue in hand, tears already streaking her cheeks. "Stop crying already," Natalie muttered, dabbing at Raya's face before the tears could undo her work. "I totally get it," Ms. Daisy sniffled. "It's like just yesterday Bonnie wandered into my bar and I gave her a job." Her eyes misted even more. "And n

    She actually left without saying goodbye to me. I almost couldn't believe her audacity. I mean, I said a few wrong things, but realistically Bonnie should've just thrown a tantrum and ignored me until I apologized enough... right? That's what any other girl would do... right? This is fucked up. "Are you coming out of your room today?" Elliot stood by the door, knuckles tapping the frame like he owned the place. "Is Bonnie back?" I asked. "Bro, the answer isn't going to change no matter how much you ask." He sighed, deep and annoyed. "All I know is that she's in a better place now and she doesn't care about you at all, so you should find a way not to care either." "That's ridiculous." I pushed up off the mattress and shoved past him. The new house still smelled like bleach and smoke—like we were trying to scrub out the stench of rogues and failure. "She wouldn't just leave. Not me." Elliot followed me into the hall. "She did. She left a week ago. You watched her wagon roll out i

    I woke up to loud cheers outside the car, the sound so sudden and bright it made me blink hard against the morning light. "What's going on?" I mumbled, pushing myself upright. "Relax, Bonnie, we're just being welcomed back to Summerton," Chris said as he pulled into a slow stop, parking the car like he'd been expecting this. "The entire pack knows exactly what happened and are eager to welcome you back. It's been spread you're the moon goddess reincarnation." My head turned sharply. "What are they saying about me?" Tanya's face lit up, already feeding off the energy outside. "You seem to be the Luna's most loyal warrior. The military is already deciding on how to promote you," Chris told her. "We're the pack heroes now." "What about you and Robbie?" I asked, glancing between them. "Well," Chris sighed, "they say the Alpha took care of business as usual, and I'm probably going to be used more for diplomatic negotiations. But you won't hear anyone talk about it since all the focus

    "The rogues are going to live as humans in another human territory," Jason's mom told me, her voice even but carrying that heaviness of someone who'd been through too many changes in too short a time. "Since they no longer pose a threat, there's no reason to kill them anymore. The Fairfield pack will help them all get settled and keep a close eye on the rogue king. They'll receive plenty of help integrating into human society." "Perfect," I said, catching a glimpse of some rogues being led away into a wagon. I almost wanted to see Jack's face again—just one more time—so I could etch the look of defeat into my memory forever. But that was too petty... no matter how deserved it would have been. "You don't know how shocked we were when we heard that you'd gone into the prison to fight," she continued. "We just kept praying to the moon goddess and staying at the ready just in case, then everything got so bright no one could see for a few minutes. Suddenly the entire territory had been p

  • The Luna Lives Again   It’s Over

    I opened my eyes and sat straight up, heart pounding as I took in my surroundings. It was dark outside—the only light in the room came from a single lamp in the corner, painting everything in a soft golden haze. The faint smell of antiseptic told me I was in a clinic. Robbie was next to me, slouched in a chair, head tilted back in sleep. Tanya was curled up like a cat at the foot of my bed, her boots still on, hair messy from exhaustion. And in the far corner—like some surreal joke—Jason was there too, asleep with his head against the wall. What the actual fuck? Robbie snorted awake, rubbing his eyes before looking over at me. His gaze sharpened instantly. "Sitting? You're sitting up! Are you okay? How do you feel? You've been asleep for the past twelve hours, I was so worried. Are you in any pain—" "Give me a chance to answer, Robbie, please." I reached out and covered his mouth, not trusting myself to speak without my voice cracking. Then I just threw myself into his arms. "Bo
