Georgina Sinclair's POV:

My phone vibrates on the table just as I start to feel warm and cozy inside. I glance at the screen and sees Ver's name on it. My heart sinks before I even pick it up. With a sigh, I slide my thumb across the green button to answer the call and press the phone to my ear.

"Ver? Did something happened?" I asked.

(Luna, that... Alpha Ryan is asking me to tell you to come home now.)

I don't respond right away.

(He said you two need to talk about something important.)

I am already aware of it.

Like water through a drain, the warmth from earlier leaves my chest. Then the tightness returns to my shoulders. The heaviness I felt ealier is creeping back in my chest like an unwelcome guest.

They are going to talk about what happened earlier. Or rather, they will accuse me again. They will start recalling what happened this morning while pretending there is a balanced conversation for it. But we both know it will just become another round where I'll standing alone while

  • The Luna's Redemption   Shadow

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:It's been two days since the meeting. And now, the whispers have grown teeth.Everywhere I go inside this mansion, I can feel the change. The walls that once seemed warm and the faces that once greeted me respectfully are now stone-cold and suspicious."She lost her scent.""Did you hear? She's been hiding it for a while.""How could a Luna do that?""No wonder Alpha Ryan is leaning more on Lady Danica...""She tricked us!"I can hear them. I can see them. Their lips don't even bother pretending to whisper anymore.I walk down the main hallway toward the garden and two omega servants quickly step aside. I walk past them and they are muttering to themselves. One of them looks up at me as though I am a traitor and then she looks down as though she did not want anyone to notice.But I don't flinch. I keep my back straight and keep my steps calm. But something inside me is burning quietly.The rumors aren't new. But they have intensified.And the truth? The truth

  • The Luna's Redemption   Regret

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:Ver quietly follows me back to my room.She doesn't say much at first. Ver just closes the door behind us and watches me while I move toward the nightstand. The silence is thick and pressing. But I welcome it for a second."Luna, are you okay?" Ver carefully asked."Yeah." I replied. "I am okay."My voice even sounds hollow to me.I grab the glass next to the water pitcher on the vanity. I am wrapping it in my fingers awkwardly. But the glass slips from my shaking hands and breaks on the floor. The fragments scatter across the wooden floor."I..." I started but my voice falters. My hands are still shaking. Ver hurries over and moves me away from the shards. "Do not move," Luna said while grabbing a small broom and dustpan from the corner cabinet.I watch her crouch down and sweep the glass away. My hands are still trembling. My breathing is shallow.I know I made the right decision back there. I know I want this. I need this. To leave and to finally take bac

  • The Luna's Redemption   Discord

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:"I want to step down as Luna." I repeated in an unwavering voice. "This is my decision.""No." Alpha Robert growled. "You don't get to make that call on a whim!""It's not a whim." I answered in a calm voice. "I've thought about this for a long time—"Then Ryan suddenly cuts in. "That is enough, Georgina!"His tone is piercing and commanding. My head turns toward him slowly. For the first time, his expression is twisted in something beyond anger and panic."Stop talking like this." Ryan continued while stepping forward. "You are angry and upset. I understand that. But you are not thinking straight. You are not like this."I blink my eyes once. I then speak once more in a clear and composed tone."Ryan, you are mistaken there."Ryan flinches as if the truth hurts more than he expected."I've never been clearer, Ryan." I said. "And I am not angry right now. I am calm. Too calm. And that's how I know this is the right choice."Alpha Robert's fist slams down on t

  • The Luna's Redemption   Questioning

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:We move from the heavy silence of the living room to one of the mansion's more private offices. The air is tighter and thicker here. It's like the whole office is now soaked in expectations and judgment.Alpha Robert sits behind the wide desk. Ryan is crossing his arms on his chest while standing near to the window. He looks oddly frustrated right now.Alpha Robert is sitting across from Danica in one of the chairs. Ver is just behind me. She's quiet but watchful but her presence feels steady at my back.The glass bottle is now placed on the table. In the amber light now, the bottle gives off a silent accusation."Now, Luna Georgina." Alpha Robert started. "I will only ask this once. What is the meaning of this concealment potion?" Then he slowly gestures to the bottle. "What exactly are you hiding from your Alpha and from us?"I draw a breath and readies myself to answer. But just as I part my lips to respond, Danica suddenly cries."I-It's my fault!" Danic

  • The Luna's Redemption   Cake

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:After the cafeteria, I expected Marius to return to his usual Alpha duties and me to head back to my own mess of a world. But apparently, the hangout wasn't over just yet."Come on." he said as he nudged me toward the private elevator again. "You can't leave without dessert.""Dessert?" I said while raising an eyebrow.But Marius only winked. "I asked Harry to buy it."The faint scent of fruits and vanilla greets me when I enter his office again. The coffee table has a white pastry box that appears to have been there the entire time."Please tell me this is not one of those heavy, overly sweet cakes that ruin your day after only two bites!" I muttered looking at the box."No faith in me at all." Marius said while pretending to look offended as he opened it. Inside the box was a simple yet elegant vanilla cake. It has an airy sponge layers with a light cream and sliced strawberries, blueberries and thin kiwi lining the top. It wasn't flashy but it looks comfo

  • The Luna's Redemption   Memo

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:Marius makes any situation seem both ridiculous and strangely charming which makes me shake my head. He looks at my face and raises an eyebrow. Then a smile appears on the corners of his lips."What?" he slowly replied and pretending to be offended. "I am only doing my job, Georgina. If you do not believe me, please ask Harry about it."But I let out a light snort. "Mr. Harry must be a very loyal secretary."Then Marius lets out a chuckle."He is. But he is not just a secretary. Harry is also a good friend of mine."That makes me pause. "Really?"He leans back in his chair slightly and nods. "Yeah. We were classmates back in college. Harry wasn't like the others. He did not flatter me because I am an Alpha or because of my family name. He was blunt and direct. Harry also called me out when needed."I glance at him and feels a little surprised but interested. "And you liked that?""Of course." Marius replied before giving me a shrug. "It was refreshing. I w
