Georgina Sinclair's POV:

The kitchen smelled of herbs and spices. I slowly stirred the pot while Lydia peeled the potatoes. The boiling water, clinking silverware and steady chop of knives made a calm and soothing sound around us.

"You should go to you room and rest, Lady Georgina. I will call you when dinner is ready." Lydia kindly said.

"I could do that. But I do not want to. I just need to do something, Lydia." I said and tied my hair loosely in a knot to keep it from falling forward. "Also, don't be like Marius. He's been trying to make me sit still all day."

Lydia chuckled before putting the potatoes on the counter.

"He only wants to take care of you."

"I know." I admitted with a soft laugh. "But he doesn't realize that keeping me still makes me restless. After staring at documents for hours, I need to move."

My smile faltered slightly as my mind drifted to those very documents. For the past several days, I'd been sorting through the mountain of paperwork tied to my businesses.

  • The Luna's Redemption   Cracked

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:The morning light was making the whole mansion looked brighter. Marius left early because he had an important meeting this morning. But before he left, Marius promise to take me out to lunch. After I finished my morning tea, one of Marius' Betas approached me. "Lady Georgina..." he cautiously began before bowing slightly. "Alpha Ryan is outside again."My entire body went rigid at his words. I set the teacup down carefully even though my hands trembled with irritation. "Ryan?" I repeated.The Beta nodded grimly. "Yes. He's been standing outside the gates for nearly an hour now and shouting for you. He refuses to leave."I sighed deeply and exhaustedly. He was well aware that it was risky and suicidal to enter Marius's territory once more. But here he was again, yelling at the gates like a crazy person.At first, I wanted to ignore his presence and let him yell until the sun set over his stubborn head. My time was no longer worth him.But his voice was getti

  • The Luna's Redemption   Massage

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:I lay sprawled across Marius's huge bed. I put my cheek on his pillow before letting out a little sigh when his strong hands relieved the tension in my back. Each stroke was firm and relaxing. His thumbs were busy tracing slow circles on my shoulders."You know..." I murmured. "I think I could get used to it.""I told you I would give you that massage earlier. I always keep my promises to you.""You did promise." I admitted while smiling to myself. "Although you didn't tell me it would feel this good.""That's because I enjoy spoiling you." The room fell silent for a moment after that."Georgina..." Marius called while his hands paused briefly before resuming their soothing motion. "Hmm?""Alisa and I first met when she applied for a position at my company." Marius suddenly said. "She was smart and had a natural charm that attracted people to collaborate with her. I quickly recognized her abilities. So a few months later, I promoted her as our manager."I li

  • The Luna's Redemption   Alisa

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:Marius was about to lead us to the living room when Alisa suddenly called him out."Aren't you going to introduce me to the lady beside you, Alpha Marius?"I got chills the way she said it. But Marius made a snap decision before I could react. Grasping my waist with one arm, he drew me on his side. "This is Georgina Sinclair." Marius said in an authority that left no room for doubt.Alisa's perfectly arched brows raised a little but Marius continued before she could say a word."She is my girlfriend." he proudly declared. "And soon-to-be Luna of my pack."Marius's open declaration of his love for me especially in front of someone like Alisa made my heart race even though I already knew how much he cared.Alisa's lips parted for a moment. Her composure slipping before she recovered with an incredulous laugh. "Luna?" she slowly echoed. There was something calculating in the way Alisa looked at me now. But her perfect smile never faltered."Yes." Marius said i

  • The Luna's Redemption   Proper Talk

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:The two of us moved to his room and sat down together on the edge of his bed. His hand was warm in mine. It's larger and rougher. And yet, Marius didn't pull away. This time, he stayed still. His thumb brushed faintly against my skin absentmindedly like he was lost in his own head."I want us to have a proper conversation." I finally said. "Not just surface words. I need us to talk about these things, Marius."For once, he didn't tease or deflect with a grin or a careless shrug. He just look at me in silence. But it was his permission for me to continue. Then I gently squeezed his hands and talked. "I want to speak with you if something similar happens again. Don't keep it inside. Please do not leave me out."Marius slowly blinked his eyes. Then a small smile appeared at his lips."Now you know how it feels."I frowned a little before leaning closer. "Marius, I'm being serious."He gave me a quiet laugh at my face. Something about it was so soft that it hurt

  • The Luna's Redemption   Ugly Side

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:I didn't feel at ease after Ryan left the grounds. Even though Marius had protected and kept me close, I could feel a storm brewing inside of him.Marius' hand briefly touched the small of my back after we got back to the mansion. Then he jerked it off and straightened his back. His sharp eyes briefly locked with mine."Excuse me." Marius said and ascended the stairs without another word."Marius—""You can eat first. Let's talk again later."Seeing him leave made my heart tighten. I also realized that I couldn't abandon him in this way. So I quietly sighed and pushed my chair back. Then I followed him upstairs.I reached his door and gently knocked."Marius?" I softly called. "It's me."There was a pause before his deep voice answered. It was firm but distant. "I'm fine, Georgina. Go back downstairs. Finish your meal."I bit my lip. Maybe he was just trying not to make me worry but keeping me on arm's length while he was fixing his problem. But I didn't like
