I said what I had to. The words tasted vile. Somehow, breaking his heart was worse than watching him brutalise Finn. He told me he loved me, and I threw straight back like trash. I might be the worst person on earth. We had all watched Zeke sleepily rise from his camp bed, bemused at his gentle sleepwalking stumbles. Someone, I think the shaggy blonde-haired Sawyer had even giggled as he stumbled towards us. To be honest, I was more relieved that his shifter healing had worked so quickly. Finn went to guide him away from the fire when he got too close, and then all hell broke loose. Finn was completely blindsided, blow after blow raining down. Zeke only became more powerful, fuelled by pure hate as it went on. I doubt Finn has an inch of cheekbone left intact right now. When Zeke snapped back to reality, those soulful brown eyes were stricken. When he raced towards me, grabbing me to him, I could have swooned. I wanted to melt against his chest, but the flecks of blood on his face

“Thank goodness you’re safe!” my mother exclaimed. Then she whispered in a low voice, “the amulet?” but I pretended not to hear her for now. Luna Helena of White Forest. Her reputation always preceded her. My teen years were spent waiting to see if I would be blessed with visions. I wasn’t. Perhaps I would have her quick fighting skills instead, she was a capable warrior in her own right. I didnt.. Still, she bustled towards me, draped in a thick purple velvet gown. Her hazel eyes shimmered with gold as Genevieve stood to the side. A few crows feet lined her face but she still had the same beauty from her earliest royal portraits. Mama placed her hand on my cheek. She scanned my face, as if she could read everything I had experienced for the past few months. “How are you?” “Tired and filthy,” I deflected, twisting away from her outstretched palm to take a look at my father “What has happened to Papa?” Alpha Alexander, the leader of White Forest stepped forward. Though his hair

I spent a week tending to Finn’s injuries. Alpha Cillian clearly believed that it was a more severe punishment than flogging me. He might have been right. The guilt of my actions facing me every day was horrific. Rush still had no explanation for what caused us to have that vision of Freya, All I knew was that there was not a shred of doubt in my mind that it happened. I saw a true memory of Freya’s. The small fragments that lingered remember sickened me. I kept waiting for Finn's retaliation. For me to wander back in with his food and for him to jump me. Except he didn’t. The first couple of days were silent. His lips were too busted and swollen to talk, even with shifter healing. We were in a makeshift rest tent, just the two of us. Weirdly, there were no further hybrid attacks after Freya left. Passing Finn his food he slurred, “you know this is a punishment for me too.” Resting my elbows on my knees on the small wooden stool next to his bed I met his eyes. Cillian had assured
The Luna Who Wants Everything 26. Freya
I felt trapped after only a few days. Despite the size of the castle, its thick stone walls and narrow windows left me claustrophobic. I couldn’t even head down to the jetty after my fathers attack. Gustav is worse than I imagined, attending the evening dinner and creeping me out. Long hair as gleaming white as Phillipe’s. His crystal blue eyes should be exciting but they reminds me of a corpse. His paleness is not helped by his penchant for grey clothing. How can this man even want to be Alpha? /Perhaps Nikolai has simply terrified him into volunteering for the role/ Livi jokes. He can certainly be persuasive. Scaring everyone with his black cloak, furious dark eyes and Alpha aura. Except I’ve seen him around Genevieve. My little brother is no more frightening than a domestic cat now. Each day my pregnancy feels more certain. I try to keep to myself but secrets continue to fall into my lap. “Luna Freya, someone has been in contact with me and asked me to pass on a message,” Bet
The Luna Who Wants Everything 27. Freya
As predicted, my acceptance of Gustav calmed the whole castle down. I even got a thank you note from Nikolai which only made me roll my eyes. Only Gustav, my potential groom, did not care in the slightest. If anything, those intense blue eyes looked at me even less during dinner. The jeweller visited as required too. The wrong one. I didn’t want the handsome, chisel-jawed apprentice who winked at me with the falsest “congratulations” I’d ever heard. With Maddox on duty again as my guard for the day I informed curtly that I wanted Oscar, the wizened little gnome of the jewel room brought to me. I could hear him grunting and cursing all the way down the corridor towards my room. “Summons me! Summons me! For some poxy bit of shiny nonsense no doubt.” He reminded me of a mole. His eye buried beneath wrinkles, a small, pencil thin nose which struggled to keep his horn-rimmed glasses positioned. Most peculiar were the white tufts of hair poking out of the side of his head. They looke

The roar of the waterfall sets me on edge. Is the rushing sound of water smashing into the rocks intended to disguise footsteps, the approach of an assassin? Is someone willing to play on my foolish adoration of Freya?I pace, keeping my back to the waterfall. My black leather jacket, dark green shirt, and black jeans blend in with the surrounding forest. I want to see exactly who is approaching. Rush is on high alert. Freya’s letter had suggested she would meet me. I’d practically sprinted here tonight, expecting to see her brown curls instantly.Nothing.Even though simply by being here, I've probably lost Cillians trust forever. Demotion and exile look likely, but it pales in comparison to letting her attempt whatever crazy scheme she is running on her own./Because she is ours to protect. We have known that since we first left her behind with Finn. Ours./ Every day at Cragstone since receiving the letter had been a slow form of torture. Luna Matilda’s eternal kindness, trying to
The Luna Who Wants Everything 29. Zeke
The girl has secrets. So many layers I can’t even begin to unpick. I lay her down on the soft mossy banks, the cool mist of the waterfall breathing over us. Like a chameleon she adapts to what she wants out of a situation. She has been commanding with her letter, or when she took my keys in the treehouse. Then devious enough to create her own lethal jewellery yet sweet enough to care about me. I don’t doubt she cares for me. I just know her affection for me is in conflict with the role she was born for. However right now, naked Freya, is a bold and all-conquering wonder. Not some false-innocent trying to play coy. She lies back readily, her legs open, beckoning me forward with her finger. Like in the treehouse, she is taking over the situation and I cave every time. I position myself between her parted legs, watching her ribs shudder in and out as her nerves kick in. When I slowly trace kisses up her thighs she quivers. Then she quietly curses as my lips keep travelling north an
The Luna Who Wants Everything 30. Freya
I don’t fear what Zeke might do to me. I am worried I might lose complete control of my senses and call this whole thing off. Or tell him I’m pregnant and break his heart. I said rejection wouldn’t work, I didn’t tell him why. I'm killing Phillipe because it is the only way to save our child from a lifetime of fear. When he mentioned entertaining his future children with the same silly pranks and tricks of his childhood something broke inside me. I’m trying to have this perfect, precious little segment of time with him but the truth keeps breaking in. He’s so different from the wounded, haunted man who came to find me after the battle. Is this a glimpse into the past, the confident, devilishly sexy Zeke who conquered any woman he chose? /Don’t complain, this Zeke is wonderful too. We don’t need perfection, we need real/ Livi murmured lovingly. She is completely sunk for him, even though his wolf has not reached out to her like a mate, she trusts him implicitly. So when Zeke’s f
