The Luna’s Trial Chapter 30
Kat’s POVThe woods didn’t feel like a place anymore. It felt like aftermath.The air hung heavy. Clung to the skin. Damp even though it hadn’t rained. Mossy chill seeped through our clothes. Every step pressed into soft ground disturbed long before we arrived. Mud sucked at our boots.Jenna walked beside me now instead of behind. I didn’t tell her to move, she just did. Her boots kicked lightly at loose dirt. Like she was trying to stay present by making noise. Pebbles scattered with faint clicks.“Okay.” She said under her breath. Glancing around. “Either this forest is haunted or I missed a very important survival lesson growing up.”I glanced at her.She noticed immediately.“What?” She asked lightly. “I’m trying to cope here.”Serene let out a small chuckle behind us. Soft. Almost approving. It cut the tension like a brief breeze.“Poor technique.” Serene said. “If it’s haunted, you don’t announce yourself first.”Jenna tilted her head toward her. “Noted. Next time I’ll whisper d
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 29
Percy’s POVThe doors opened before I reached them.Conversations died the moment I stepped in. Lips murmured words they dared not speak aloud. Whispers faded into the cool air.The words came from somewhere to my left. Quiet. But not quiet enough. Their edge sliced through the hush.My gaze shifted.The boy who said it stiffened immediately. His shoulders pulled tight. Like he realized too late who heard him. Sweat beaded at his temple.“You want to repeat that?” I asked.My voice didn’t rise.It didn’t need to. It cut clean.He swallowed. “I. Alpha. I didn’t.”“Then don’t start.”Silence dropped hard across the room. Thick and pressing.No one spoke again.I walked past them without another word. Shoes steady against the stone floor. Each step echoed. Reminding them who they stood under. Cold stone chilled through my soles.The council doors were already open, they were waiting.It settled differently in the lungs. Heavier than the pack hall. Like the walls had absorbed too many dec
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 28
Percy’s POVMy fingers stayed around her wrist.Her pulse jumped against my skin. Quick and uneven. Like she was trying to steady herself and failing. She didn’t pull away this time. She held my gaze instead. Jaw tight. Eyes sharp but unfocused at the edges. The air between us thickened with her shallow breaths.“Let go.” Her voice didn’t break. But it wasn’t steady either. Too much simmered underneath it.I squeezed just a little tighter. The slight flicker of pain in her eyes fed my ego. A dark satisfaction coiled in my chest.Persia approached. The shift in the room was subtle. But it pulled attention without effort. Her scent faint lavender and earth cut through the stale air. She stepped closer to Jenna. Not touching her. Just placing herself slightly between us. Enough to be noticed. Not enough to challenge.“That’s enough, brother.”Her tone stayed calm. But it carried weight. Jenna exhaled sharply beside her. Like she hadn’t realized she’d been holding her breath. Her should
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 27
Jenna’s POVThe morning didn't feel new. It pressed in like everything I'd ignored before had sharpened into focus all at once.The air thickened around me, heavy with presence rather than noise. I sensed the low hum of traffic vibrating through the street outside, the faint tremors of footsteps echoing beyond my window, even the warm rush of my own breath filling my chest more solidly than it used to.I stood by the sink, gaze fixed on the chipped porcelain edge where water droplets clung and slowly merged.“You’re thinking too hard,” Persia said from behind me.Her voice cut through steady and even, anchoring the room's quiet chaos in a way I hated needing.“I’m not thinking,” I replied. “I’m trying not to.”A small pause hung between us, the floorboards creaking faintly under her subtle shift.“That’s worse,” she said.I exhaled softly, the sound rougher in my ears, and turned to face her. She leaned against the doorframe, fully dressed in her usual crisp layers, her posture unruff

Jenna’s POVA tear slipped down before I could stop it.“My mother,” I said slowly. “You said my mother.”Kat didn’t soften it. “Yes.”“She was alive.”“My mother was alive all this time and just died,” I repeated, but this time it sounded weaker.Serene stepped a little closer. “What you believed was not the full truth.”I let out a short, hollow laugh. “Clearly.”My hands rested on the wall for support, but I couldn’t feel it properly.“She told me,” I said quietly. No one answered.I swallowed, forcing my voice to stay steady. “She told me she was a werewolf.”Kat shifted near the door, but she didn’t interrupt.“I remember exactly how she said it,” I continued. “She wasn’t joking. She wasn’t confused. She was waiting for me to believe her.”My throat tightened, but I kept going.“And I didn’t.”Serene’s voice came soft from the side. “You didn’t know.”“That doesn’t change anything,” I replied.I let out a breath that didn’t feel like enough.“I told her to stop. I told her she wa
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 25
Jenna’s POVThe café smelled of roasted beans and warm milk, the kind of scent that usually steadied me. Today it didn’t. My hands moved on their own, wiping down the counter, rearranging cups that were already in place.The bell above the door rang. I glanced up automatically.Two women stepped inside. One carried herself like she owned the room even though she didn’t belong in it, her sharp eyes scanning everything. The other moved slower, deliberate, her gaze unfocused but unsettling in a different way, the loose braid over her shoulder elegant against her posture.They didn’t look like customers.I straightened. “Hi. What can I get you?”The sharper one looked around briefly, mapping the place, then her eyes landed on me.“Coffee. Black.” Her tone was flat, distracted.The calmer one smiled faintly. “Tea, please.”I nodded, turning toward the machine. My fingers trembled slightly as I reached for a cup. Something felt off.“You own this place?” the sharp one asked.“Yes,” I replie

Tamara’s POVKat’s hand gripped the wheel tightly, her eyes focused on the road. Someone was after us, or me and for what? A force inside me I have no idea about.“I don’t think it’s a good idea, Serene,” Kat’s tight voice broke the silence.“You never think anything is a good idea, Kat,” Serene le
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 11
Tamara’s POV “You’re the center of it.” The words hung, thick as the stale air. I swallowed, feeling the walls pressed in. Kat and Serene exchanged a glance. For a split second, the tension in their shoulders softened.“Come on,” Serene said finally, her blind gaze sweeping the room as if s
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 10
Tamara’s POVAnother day in the woods with Kat as I tried to find myself. Each passing day chipped away at who I was. Today felt different, though. A beautiful woman visited, breaking the usual routine. She stepped into the cabin, her hand grazing the doorframe. Her gaze locked in one direction
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 9
Tamara’s POV Kat tossed me a strip of steak as we sat in the clearing. Her eyes stayed sharp, scanning the trees even while she chewed.She leaned back “You keep skirting around it, Rapunzel. Tell me how it happened. From the start. How did you end up here?”I hesitated, the memory clawing at
