Marius Peddleton's POV:

I place my phone gently on the desk. But my fingers linger on it longer than they should. The screen goes dark and the room becomes quieter than before.

But everything seems to have finally fallen into place.

I exhale deeply attempting to calm the pounding in my heart. It is still going too fast and reacting to that single sentence that Georgina sent earlier.

'I signed it.'

I lean back in my chair and look to the side where there is an expensive grey sofa by the window.

The one I accidentally tore a gaping line through when she told me. The cushions are half-split where I gripped them and the fabric is ripped at the seams. The stuffing is poking out like a battle wound.

But a quiet chuckle escapes my lips while aI run a hand through my hair.

She really signed it.

After everything... After all the waiting, the patience amd the carefully restrained feelings I've buried deeper than anyone realizes...

Georgina finally said yes.

And soon, I will have more than brief

  • The Luna's Redemption   Beta Lydia

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:Ver returns not long after. She walk straight to me and gives the bag with a quiet grunt."There are clothes and toiletries. I couldn't take much without looking suspicious." she muttered.Then Ver gives Marius a sideways glance before looking back at me. "I will keep you updated, Luna. I will hide your location for the meantime. Only a few know you left but that might change soon."I nod before looking at Ver with soft eyes. "Thank you, Ver. I owe you.""You don't owe me anything, Luna." she said. "Just... Take care of yourself."Ver gives Marius another look like she is reminding him she will know if anything goes wrong. Then without another word, she turn around and leave. "Alright." Marius said before getting the bag from my hands. "Let's go now.""Yes." I answered.Marius puts my bag at the back seat before we both enter his car. After several hours, we finally arrived at his estate.The word "estate" barely describes it.As we get closer to the long i

  • The Luna's Redemption   Crashing

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:I can still feel the last of the tension as I see the large gates of the council estate. I feel like I am carrying the weight of everything. But beside Marius, I feel just enough at ease to keep moving forward.Then I hear hurried footsteps behind us."Luna Georgina!" It was Ver's voice.I stop walking and sees Ver running toward us. "Are you alright, Luna?" she worriedly asked.I nod and shows her a tired smile."I'm fine, Ver. Really. I'm just... Shaken. That's all."Her eyes quickly scan my face to look for any cracks in the lie. She must see something that reassures her because she finally nods. Although I can still see the worry in her expression. Then her gaze moves to Marius.He is quiet beside me. He is not moving or saying anything. But I can tell he is watching her just like how Ver is watching him. Two unfamiliar wolves are silently sizing the other up. Ver squares her shoulders and straightens her posture. She doesn't back down. Marius tilts his

  • The Luna's Redemption   Verbal Fight

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:All eyes are locked on him.Marius looks composed wall and calm. But I know better. His calm expression is hiding a simmering tension. Marius seems to be holding something back. But I can see the look on his face.Marius is furious.Yet he doesn't raise his voice. He does not stomp or snap like Ryan or the other Alphas do. He walks confidently and showing that he has nothing to prove. Alpha Robert, who had just been roaring accusations at me moments ago, stiffens as he turns to face Marius fully. His eyes narrow at him."And who exactly are you?" Alpha Robert asked while trying to sound stern. "And what are you doing barging in during a private council meeting?"Marius raise an eyebrow and gives him an amused look. He doesn't respond right away. Instead, he casually adjusts the lapel of his dark coat and sweep his the room with idle interest until it lands on me.Then our eyes meet.Something inside me settles. Not because I need saving. But because finally,

  • The Luna's Redemption   Who Dares

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:The grand doors creak open slowly and revealing the stone-walled council chamber where decisions that shaped generations of the River Moon Pack were once made with wisdom. They are all here. The old council, Ryan, Danica and the other pack members.After taking a deep sigh, I walk into the middle of the room and speak "I called this meeting."Alpha Robert raises an eyebrow. "We noticed. This had better be important.""It is." I said.Then I pull the documents from the inside pocket of my coat. I walk up to the council table and put it down."I am divorcing Alpha Ryan.”There's a sharp crack of silence after that. And then chaos. Soon, Alpha Robert slams the table. "You're what?!""She's bluffing!" "Unacceptable!" But I barely hear them. My eyes are on Ryan. And he is also looking back at me."Luna Georgina..." she gently said."Yes, Danica?" I asked.She gets up from her chair and approaches me."Please do not do this."But I raise an eyebrow at her. "Do

  • The Luna's Redemption   Shred

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:There is no going back now. I let out a sigh and prints another copy of it. And finally, I gather the papers.This chapter will end with or without his approval.The walk through the mansion is colder than usual. Ver meets me near the bottom of the stairs. Her eyes flicker down to the folder in my hand then back to my face. She doesn't say anything. She just gives a small nod of support. Ryan is inside his office.I knock before opening the door. Ryan is sitting in his chair while reading through some documents. But he freezes the moment he sees me. His eyes narrow and sweep over me. Then he reclines in his chair and crosses his arms."Georgina." he tightly said."I won't take long." I answered before closing the door behind me.I cross the room with calm steps and stop in front of his desk. Then slowly, I place the signed papers in front of him."This is the finalized divorce agreement." I said.Ryan doesn't look at the documents immediately. His brows twitc

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:The day passes quietly.I stay inside my room for the whole day. The curtains are partially drawn in the morning and allowing the sunlight to enter my room. The outside world continues as if nothing were happening. But my thoughts are taking over my mind.Mica brought me breakfast earlier. It has soup, rice, eggs and a few sliced fruits on the side. She didn't say much. She just placed the tray on my bedside table and gave me a small smile before quietly walked out. Ver visits more often. She updates me on those in the pack who are still loyal to me. She tells me who has been asking questions, who is willing to speak on my behalf when the time comes and who is already started making plans to leave with me.But even that news doesn't feel like a victory right now. My phone then chimes beside me. It's another text from Marius.(Have you eaten yet?)I stare at it for a while before typing back a reply.'Yes. Earlier.'A few seconds later, there's another messag
