The Luna’s Trial Chapter 45
Tamara’s POV The bass from the city square pulsed through the apartment floorboards, a low vibration that made the water in my glass tremble. I stood at the window, watching streaks of neon purple and gold climb across the Vyne City skyline. The festival had begun. “We aren’t going, Tam,” Jenna said firmly as she walked into the living room. She was already wrapped in an oversized sweater, her posture loose, signaling she had settled in for the night. “Kat said it’s dangerous. We’re staying here.” I turned from the glass. “I’ve been in this room for three weeks. Before that, four in a hospital bed. I feel like I’m fading.” “It’s one night,” Jenna argued, but her words faltered when she saw me gripping the sofa, my knuckles pale. “You’re still weak. You can barely make it to the kitchen without gasping.” “I need the air,” I whispered. “Just for an hour. The crowd’s human, Jen. Safety in numbers. We’ll grab food, see the lights, and come back. I just… I can’t be alone with my h
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 44
Tamara’s POVIt had been three weeks since I left the hospital. Three weeks of the same routine.My legs still felt unpredictable , heavy and unreliable, trembling if I stood longer than ten minutes. Most days I stayed wrapped in a knit cardigan, sunk into the sofa, watching the city move through the window as if it belonged to someone else.Jenna walked into the kitchen, her eyes scanning me the way they always did, searching for cracks.“Tam? You okay? I heard the kettle.”“I’m fine, Jen,” I said, though my voice carried more steadiness than I felt. I reached for a towel to wipe the spill. “Just jumpy today. Maybe it’s the noise outside. Everyone’s getting ready for the festival.”“The Lunar Solstice,” Jenna murmured, leaning against the doorframe. Her shoulders sagged with exhaustion. She had been pulling double shifts to cover for me, then coming home to play nurse. “The whole city’s going to be chaos. Parades, food stalls, tourists everywhere. I was thinking we should stay in. Or
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 43
Tamara’s POVThe first thing I noticed was the silence. Then came the squeeze of a blood pressure cuff around my arm, the only rhythm in the room.I forced my eyes open. The ceiling was a grid of white acoustic tiles. Sunlight, sharp and midday-bright, cut through the blinds, striking a plastic pitcher of water on the bedside table. I tried to lift my hand, but it felt heavy, like lead.A woman in navy scrubs entered, clipboard in hand.“You’re awake,” she said, her voice calm, professional. She stepped closer, pen clicking. “Don’t sit up too fast, Tamara. You’ve been under for a long time.”My throat burned, dry as sandpaper. “How… long?”“Four weeks,” she said, checking the IV line in my wrist. “You were brought in with severe trauma and systemic shock. Honestly, we weren’t sure the neurological damage would reverse. Your vitals stayed stable, but you wouldn’t wake up.”“Four weeks?” The number felt unreal. A month of my life gone. “Where am I?”“Vyne City General. Private wing.” Sh
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 42
Tamara’s POVMy eyes felt heavy, glued shut, but when I forced them open, I wasn’t staring at elegant wall of the Ashborne’s mansion or my room.I was standing in a hallway. The polished floor reflected the overhead lights. I looked down at my hands. No silver burns. My best blazer hugged my shoulders, the one I had ironed a dozen times for–“The company?” I whispered. My voice sounded thin, echoing against the glass partitions. The hallway looked familiar, too familiar.I knew this place. I had lived this morning before. The nerves in my stomach stirred like a dull memory of a life I thought I had outgrown. I walked toward the frosted glass door at the end of the hall. Gloria’s Marketing Solutions. The name was the same, but the air felt wrong.I pushed the door open. The person behind the desk wasn’t the same as that day. She typed on a keyboard that made no sound, her head tilted at an angle I would have recognized anywhere. She stopped, fingers hovering, and turned her chair.“You
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 41
Jenna’s POV The steam wand hissed, a sharp metallic scream that usually meant the morning rush was about to hit. I was adjusting a display of gluten-free muffins, wondering if the mauve frosting looked ridiculous, when my apron pocket buzzed. I pulled out my phone. The words on the screen made my chest seize. BREAKING: Attack at the Ashborne Estate. Reports of gunfire and structural collapse. My fingers shook. My thoughts scattered like broken glass. “No,” I whispered. I dialed Tamara. Voicemail. I dialed again. Nothing. My stomach dropped, cold spreading through me despite the humid kitchen air. I grabbed my keys, nearly knocking over a tray of coffee cups. My hands were clumsy, my pulse hammering. I was already out the door, fumbling for my car. I hit speed dial for the only person who could breathe air back into me. “Jenna?” Persia’s voice was smooth, filtered through the background noise of a boardroom. “I’m in a session, can this–” “Persia, please,” I choked out, m
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 40
Tamara’s POV I pulled back just enough to breathe, my heart a frantic bird against my ribs. Percy’s thumb traced my lower lip, his gaze heavy and clouded with a hunger that made my knees weak."I thought I’d never taste you," he whispered, his forehead dropping to rest against mine. "I thought you’d let the Ashborne scent bury us.""I should have," I breathed, though my hands were still tangled in the fine wool of his jacket. "You made it very clear that I was a liability. Why do you care now?"Percy’s grip tightened on my waist, pulling me flush against him until I could feel the erratic thrum of his pulse. "Because I’m a fool, Tamara. And because every time I closed my eyes in that empty house, the bond screamed that you were drowning. I couldn't let you go."I didn't answer with words. I couldn't. I reached up, my fingers sliding into the hair at the nape of his neck, and pulled him back down. This time, the kiss was softer, a quiet, desperate pleaThe kiss still burned on my lips
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 8
Percy’s POV I sat rigid on a chair, smoke curling around me. A figure hovered, movement too fast, too slippery to follow. My eyes swept the room, squinting to catch details, but failed.“Where am I? And why are my feet unwilling to move?” My voice was low, edged with irritation.I snarled, nose
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 7
Jenna’s POVI’ve learned life has a way of piling surprises on me. Never knew our dad, then mom disappeared. I dropped out of school to work, just to keep Tamara’s bills paid. And now? Turns out my little sister is a werewolf. Not even a witch to make things easier, but a wolf. Life’s sense of humo
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 14
Tamara’s POVI didn’t wait after Kat told me. I moved.Deep down, I felt it had something to do with me. I asked questions, searched every alley until I saw a path streaked with blood. I followed it and reached the woods.Branches snapped under my boots as I tracked the trail, chest tight, breath s
The Luna’s Trial Chapter 22
Percy’s POVThe scent of blood followed us back. It clung to the wolves carrying her body, thick and metallic, trailing behind them as they crossed into the pack grounds. No one spoke. They didn’t need to.I walked ahead, jaw tight, shoulders squared despite the dull ache pressing against my chest.
