Georgina Sinclair's POV:

I steadily open the door. Ver is the first one I see when I step out of the office.

She looks tense and her face is twisted in warning while growling low at Beta Vince, Ryan's ever-loyal secretary. He is standing a few feet away with a voice raised just enough to show he is not backing down. It seems like they haven't noticed the door opening.

"I told you to stay out here, Ver." Vince said through gritted teeth.

"And I told you..." Ver snapped in a sharp voice. "If I hear one more raised voice behind that door, I am coming in."

"That's enough." I said.

The moment they both see me, their growls fade. But the tension doesn't.

Soon, Ver's eyes widen when she takes one look at at the thin trail of blood on my face. Her breath catches. In a blink on an eye, she is at my side.

"Luna Georgina." she whispered. "What happened?"

I don't answer her. Instead, I give Vince a glance enough to make him shift awkwardly under my gaze. His defiance falters and for once, he says

  • The Luna's Redemption   Ripples

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:The car slows down when we approach the gates of our estate. It still feels surreal returning like this. Nothing has changed from the stone walls, the familiar iron archway and the long stretch of driveway cutting through fields kissed by early morning dew. And yet, everything feels different now.Marius sits beside me. He's silent with one hand resting on his thigh. His other hand is lightly brushing against mine from time to time. As we pull up to the front steps, I see Ver already waiting outside. She is standing tall in her usual clothes with her arms behind her back. The wind is teasing some loosely strands of her braided hair. The moment she spots me through the window, Ver nods once and moves forward when I open the door."Everything is now ready, Luna." Ver announced as soon as I step out. "The council is assembled in the main hall. Ryan and Danica have arrived as well."The mention of them causes my heart to clench. But I keep my chin up."Thank you.

  • The Luna's Redemption   Coordinate

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:I sit on the edge of the vanity and staring at my reflection. I still feel half-lost in yesterday's touch and last night's silence.Then my fingers run lightly over my lips.I let out a sigh before I start brushing my hair. I decided to wear a loose cardigan over my shoulders, a muted green blouse with buttoned cuffs and a pair of dark slacks. It's nothing that screams attention.Even my makeup is minimal. A soft tint to my cheeks and a subtle gloss to my lips. It's enough to look presentable but not enough to impress.Because today is not about appearances.Today is the day I return to my estate.To our estate.The one I shared with Ryan.I inhale deeply while steadying myself as I slide a pair of earrings into place. My hands tremble slightly but I press them flat against the table. "You can do this, Georgina."But then, he suddenly appears back into my mind.Marius.His touch. His breath. The low timbre of his voice whispering threats of kisses against my

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:We continue kissing. Desperately. Hungrily.As if we've been waiting far too long for this moment.Marius's hand slides up my back and pulling me flush against him. I gasp against his lips. But Marius swallows the sound of it like he needs it to breathe... Like he is starving for more.I pull away for a breath. But he doesn't let the distance stay between us.He catches my lips again and crashing back into me with a kiss that makes my knees weak. It's not rushed. No. It's deliberate and planned. But it is almost full of love and passion.My hands settle on his chest while letting my fingers to curl into his shirt. Marius does not pause when I try to turn away from him to breathe.Instead, his lips trail along my cheek. Then lower to my jaw. I can feel the heat of each kiss. It feels slow and steady.Then lower.To the curve of my chin.And finally to the side of my neck.I let out a soft and involuntary moan. His mouth lingers there and it feels warm and el

  • The Luna's Redemption   Pulling Closer

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:The air is cold outside on the balcony. I lean against the stone balustrade. There is no moonlight tonight and as I look up at the dark sky. I can see the stars that are faintly glimmering like scattered crystals on it. But the weather is calm, gentle and peaceful.Soon, a soft sound behind me catches my attention. I turn slightly and see Marius stepping out with a steaming mug in his hand. He offers it to me wordlessly. His fingers are brushing against mine as I take it."Tea?" I asked while glancing up at him."Peach tea." he hummed. "I thought you were out here because you were so quiet."I pick up the cup and bring it to my mouth. My hands can feel the warmth from it which is comforting. After a careful sip, I pause to let the taste spread on my tongue."It's better this time." I said, a little surprised.Marius shrugs before a small smile tugged on the corner of his mouth."I asked the kitchen to make it." he casually explained.Then he tilts his head and

  • The Luna's Redemption   Relying

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:I don't say anything right away. I just stare at the documents resting on his lap then up at him. His face looks so calm and unbothered. Like organizing my freedom was no more than ticking off a to-do list.No one has ever done this for me before. Not like this. Not with quiet intention and no strings attached.My chest tightens again.Marius notices my expression. Of course he does. His amused eyes twinkle and his lips moves into a smirk."Be careful." he teased. "Are you getting emotional?"I blink. "What?"He leans closer to me. My stomach flutters each time he drops his voice into that low and amused rumble."I would gladly accept a kiss as a down payment if you are that moved."I let out a soft laugh. I am half flustered and half grateful for how he is attempting to relieve the tension."A kiss?"He tilts his head in mock-considering. "Well if that's too much, I also accept hugs. Or intense eye contact for ten uninterrupted seconds. I'm flexible."I lau

I told Old Keith softly.He gives me a kind smiles that will always reminds me of a father who knew too much but said just enough. "No need for thanks, my dear. Just promise me one thing. Keep walking forward. You should only look back to remind yourself of your progress."I give him a quiet nod and blinking away the tears forming in my eyes. "I'll call Ver now."He raise a hand as I turn to leave. "Georgina."I look back."Do your plans now while the pack is in the middle of confusion." he said in an almost casual voice. "That way, you can leave with less resistance."I blink my eyes in surprise."That's not how a council member should talk." I said with a tired smile and teasing him despite the ache in my chest.Old Keith chuckles. "Maybe not. But I am not just a council member." he calmly said. "But I am an old man who
