Marius Peddleton's POV:

The line goes dead.

I take a few minutes to put my phone away. There is a deafening silence after that.

I frown.

My gut tells me to get up, grab my keys and head straight for her. To stand in front of her and to shield her from whatever problem that scumbag is trying to summon. I don't even need the full story. Just hearing his voice through the phone, the tone he used on her and the audacity in his words is making my blood simmer beneath the surface.

But I do not move.

I push my chair back and run my fingers through my hair. Then I tighten my fingers around my hair. The pressure I use is enough to sting my scalp. Although it doesn't help me at all.

"You can't just rush in." I tell myself. "You promised her support. Not to bring more problems for her."

  • The Luna's Redemption   Rights

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:My phone starts vibrating in my hand. Marius is now calling me. I hesitate for a second before pressing the answer button. Soon, his voice filters through the speaker.(Hey. I thought hearing me might be better than a few texts.)I exhale and let my body to relax slightly. "You thought right."(We don't have to talk about anything serious. I just wanted to hear your voice.)There is a pause between us. But it is not unpleasant. So we talk. About mundane things.He tells me about a delivery mishap at his company cafeteria where the supplier mistakenly sent them thirty kilograms of raw ginger instead of chicken breast."I hope you made someone drink every drop of that ginger tea." I said with a snort.My fingers curl loosely around my phone as Marius's voice fills my ear. It's calm and familiar.(Harry is now trying to convince me that ginger-scented candles would be a hit. But I told him the office would smell like a detox clinic.)I let out a laugh."That is

  • The Luna's Redemption   Shadow

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:It's been two days since the meeting. And now, the whispers have grown teeth.Everywhere I go inside this mansion, I can feel the change. The walls that once seemed warm and the faces that once greeted me respectfully are now stone-cold and suspicious."She lost her scent.""Did you hear? She's been hiding it for a while.""How could a Luna do that?""No wonder Alpha Ryan is leaning more on Lady Danica...""She tricked us!"I can hear them. I can see them. Their lips don't even bother pretending to whisper anymore.I walk down the main hallway toward the garden and two omega servants quickly step aside. I walk past them and they are muttering to themselves. One of them looks up at me as though I am a traitor and then she looks down as though she did not want anyone to notice.But I don't flinch. I keep my back straight and keep my steps calm. But something inside me is burning quietly.The rumors aren't new. But they have intensified.And the truth? The truth

  • The Luna's Redemption   Regret

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:Ver quietly follows me back to my room.She doesn't say much at first. Ver just closes the door behind us and watches me while I move toward the nightstand. The silence is thick and pressing. But I welcome it for a second."Luna, are you okay?" Ver carefully asked."Yeah." I replied. "I am okay."My voice even sounds hollow to me.I grab the glass next to the water pitcher on the vanity. I am wrapping it in my fingers awkwardly. But the glass slips from my shaking hands and breaks on the floor. The fragments scatter across the wooden floor."I..." I started but my voice falters. My hands are still shaking. Ver hurries over and moves me away from the shards. "Do not move," Luna said while grabbing a small broom and dustpan from the corner cabinet.I watch her crouch down and sweep the glass away. My hands are still trembling. My breathing is shallow.I know I made the right decision back there. I know I want this. I need this. To leave and to finally take bac

  • The Luna's Redemption   Discord

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:"I want to step down as Luna." I repeated in an unwavering voice. "This is my decision.""No." Alpha Robert growled. "You don't get to make that call on a whim!""It's not a whim." I answered in a calm voice. "I've thought about this for a long time—"Then Ryan suddenly cuts in. "That is enough, Georgina!"His tone is piercing and commanding. My head turns toward him slowly. For the first time, his expression is twisted in something beyond anger and panic."Stop talking like this." Ryan continued while stepping forward. "You are angry and upset. I understand that. But you are not thinking straight. You are not like this."I blink my eyes once. I then speak once more in a clear and composed tone."Ryan, you are mistaken there."Ryan flinches as if the truth hurts more than he expected."I've never been clearer, Ryan." I said. "And I am not angry right now. I am calm. Too calm. And that's how I know this is the right choice."Alpha Robert's fist slams down on t

  • The Luna's Redemption   Questioning

    Georgina Sinclair's POV:We move from the heavy silence of the living room to one of the mansion's more private offices. The air is tighter and thicker here. It's like the whole office is now soaked in expectations and judgment.Alpha Robert sits behind the wide desk. Ryan is crossing his arms on his chest while standing near to the window. He looks oddly frustrated right now.Alpha Robert is sitting across from Danica in one of the chairs. Ver is just behind me. She's quiet but watchful but her presence feels steady at my back.The glass bottle is now placed on the table. In the amber light now, the bottle gives off a silent accusation."Now, Luna Georgina." Alpha Robert started. "I will only ask this once. What is the meaning of this concealment potion?" Then he slowly gestures to the bottle. "What exactly are you hiding from your Alpha and from us?"I draw a breath and readies myself to answer. But just as I part my lips to respond, Danica suddenly cries."I-It's my fault!" Danic
