Georgina Sinclair's POV:

The late afternoon sun is warm against my skin when we step out of the restaurant. There is a casual breeze in the air but the heaviness between us keeps staying like the final note of a song that hasn't fully ended.

Alpha Marius stands beside me with his hands in his pockets as if he didn't just turn my entire day upside down with nothing but words and presence. Then his eyes flickers to mine.

"I can bring you back." he smoothly offered like it's a habit.

But I shake my head while holding onto what little space I have left.

"There's no need for that. I brought my car with me." I replied while keeping my tone even.

Marius doesn't push the matter which I both expect and hate from him. He simply nods his head once with an unreadable expression on his face. Maybe it's respect or it's his cold patience again. The tension should ease now that we are outside.

But it doesn't.

I glance toward my car parked just down the sidewalk. I take a step away. Then two. But I c

  • 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

  • The Luna's Redemption   Desperate Shouts

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:The dining table was covered in warm sunlight. Marius had insisted on making our lunch with Lydia today, saying he was already getting better at cooking. I had been laughing softly at one of his dry remarks and enjoying the rare moment of peace. But all of a sudden, the sharp edge of a voice tore through the air from outside.The laughter died on my lips instantly. My fork hovered mid-air as the sound grew clearer and angrier. It was a voice I knew far too well.Ryan.Across from me, Marius stilled. His emerald eyes narrowed into sharp points of steel. The playful warmth of a moment ago vanished and replaced by a dangerous stillness. I could feel his wolf was bristling. Even Lira was growling inside me.Soon, the door to the dining hall opened and one of the Betas hurried in and bowing his head. "Alpha Marius." the Beta respectfully said. "Alpha Ryan was outside the gates. He keeps shouting and demanding to see Lady Georgina."Marius let out a low scoff. Bu

  • The Luna's Redemption   Wedding Plans?

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:My mood had improved because of the fresh bouquet in my arms. But the gravity of Ver's message still persisted in my mind. Marius was watching me closely. His emerald eyes were carrying that mixture of calm strength and sharpness that always disarmed me. When I let out another long sigh, that was when Marius leaned closer and brushing a strand of hair from my cheek."Georgina." he murmured. "I will keep you safe. You don't need to carry this problem alone."His words wrapped around me like a shield. But I found myself shaking my head. "I have a pack to protect. They're mine. They depend on me. I can't just—""We." Marius cut in firmly.I blinked my eyes in surprise. "We?" I asked."Yes." Marius said without hesitation. "Your pack is ours to protect now. I won't let you stand alone while chaos brews in River Moon Pack."I wanted to argue. But his gaze on me made my protests falter before they could be uttered."I will assign my most trusted Beta warriors to

  • The Luna's Redemption   Flowers

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:The sun was shining through Marius's tall curtains in his guest room when I woke up. With a moan, I turned over and looked at the fragile clock on the side table. It was already noon.After I got up from my bed and changed my clothes, I go downstairs where Lydia was already waiting for me."Good morning, dear." she warmly said although the sun was far past morning. "You must've been very tired."Her motherly tone disarmed me and I offered a sheepish smile. "I suppose I was."Lydia had already prepared a simple brunch for me. She urged me to sit on the chair as she asked a maid to prepare a freshly pot of tea for me."Alpha Marius left early." Lydia explained as she put a plate in front of me. "He did not say where he was going. But Alpha Marius said he had something to buy. He also made sure I knew not to wake you and said you deserved to sleep after everything last night."Her words sent a strange warmth through me. Marius had noticed my exhaustion and cared

  • The Luna's Redemption   Premature

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:The mood shifted when the healer eventually appeared. Danica lay on the floor and writhing while gripping her stomach. Her cries echoed throughout the room.The healer knelt next to her and covered Danica's stomach with her palms while whispering something calming. I saw the healer's expression tightening as her hands on her stomach.After a long pause, her voice came out heavy and urgent."She is going into premature labor."The Old Council gasped softly among themselves while exchanging startled glances. Premature births were dangerous enough in our world. But in the case of an Alpha's mate? It could spiral into chaos especially if the child was as important as whispers claimed.The healer pressed again in a sharper voice this time."Lady Danica must be moved at once. This place is not safe for her or the child. We need a warm and clean room."Ryan didn't think twice. He pulled Danica into his arms even though he was still sweating from his battle with Alpha
