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

His teeth are clenched."Elder Gavin, are you certain about this?!""I am." the elder calmly replied without hesitation. "She has every right to free herself."Ryan slams a hand against the table. But the sound of it barely makes me flinch. "So that's it? Just like that? You all expect me to give up and just sign away my Luna like she's a possession to return?"My voice is clear when I finally speak. "No, Ryan. You gave me up the moment you chose your mistress. I am just here to make it official."He turns toward me. And for a moment, I csn see the man I once knew. He looks lost, confused and bitter. But that's no longer my burden to carry.Marius steps forward slightly just in case

  • 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.

    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
