PRISCILLA

Gabriel was finally asleep.

I sat quietly on the bed, leaning back against the headboard with a pillow propped behind me, watching him. His arm was thrown carelessly across his chest, the blanket tangled low around his hips, but even in sleep, his body held a quiet tension. His brows were faintly creased like he was still on guard, still caught in some distant battle he couldn’t shake. He wasn’t truly resting—just existing in the quietest version of his exhaustion.

My fingers trailed gently through his hair, sweeping the dark strands away from his forehead in a repetitive, soothing motion. He didn’t stir, just breathed in a slow, shallow rhythm. I had to push them to let him come to this room, had to look Aurora in the eye and tell her that Gabriel needed to rest and that this—here with me—was the only way that would happen. He wouldn’t admit he was tired. Of course, he wouldn’t. He never did. But I saw it in his gait, in the way his jaw had set too tightly after we got

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 55

    CAIUS I opened the door expecting silence. The kind that curled around her like smoke. The kind that told me she hadn’t moved—because she couldn’t. But instead, the chair was on its side, empty. The ropes were loose. Frayed. Singed at the edges. She was gone. For a moment, I didn’t move. Didn’t breathe. The shadows themselves seemed to still around me, listening. Then came the roar. Not aloud. Not yet. It started in my chest, ancient and acidic, bubbling through veins that hadn’t pulsed with real heat in centuries. I clenched my jaw, grinding down against the teeth that wanted to stretch into something monstrous. She shouldn’t have been able to escape. She couldn’t have. Unless— I turned sharply, eyes narrowing as I stepped into the centre of the room. The air was disturbed, and warped. Not just physically. Magically. She’d had help. The ropes lay discarded on the floor like shed skin, and the faint trace of her scent still clung to the space—sweet, fierce, defiant—but

    GABRIEL I hadn’t moved. Not since she walked away with Davina. I didn’t even know how long I stood there, the dim light of the corridor spilling shadows across the foyer tiles, my hands still clenched like I was holding on to something I’d already lost. The door upstairs clicked shut, and only then did I breathe. “I’m not gonna lie,” Austin’s voice came from behind me, sharp but cautious, “You were kind of a dick to her.” I didn’t turn. I didn’t need to. I could already smell the sex on him. “Do you ever wash off after banging?” I muttered. He scoffed. “Dude, I have a mate. Who the hell has time for soap when there’s round three waiting?” “That’s not what I meant.” I finally looked over my shoulder. “Mate or not, you smell like a damn heatwave.” Austin leaned against the wall, folding his arms across his chest. “Fair enough. Still, it’s not the stink of sex you’re mad at. You’re restless.” “Because of what happened to Priscilla.” He didn’t phrase it like a question. He kn

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 53

    PRISCILLA I stared at him—frozen—his words slicing through the air like a blade. What the hell just happened? He wasn’t looking at me like he just did a few moments ago in the room like I was his world or someone worth protecting. He was looking at me like I’d betrayed him. “Gabriel…” My voice came out smaller than I meant it to. “What do you think you’re doing?” His jaw ticked, his eyes glinting gold—but he didn’t answer. His grip tightened on my wrist, and he turned sharply, dragging me back toward the house without another word. “Gabriel!” I snapped, trying to pull my hand back, but he wasn’t letting go. “Gabriel, stop! What did I do that gives you the right to raise your voice at me like that?” Still nothing. Just the heavy sound of our footsteps echoing against the hall floors, his breath flaring like a storm building under his skin. We barely made it through the front door before he stopped in the foyer, finally releasing my wrist like it burned him. His hands raked th

    PRISCILLA “M’bebe... open your eyes, darling. Come on now, open those pretty eyes for Mama…” That voice. Soft. Gentle. Full of warmth and love and everything I’d craved for years. I didn’t want to move. I didn’t want to blink or speak or breathe. I just wanted to hold onto that voice and sink deeper into it. “Mum?” I whispered into the quiet, my lips barely moving. My chest cracked open like something raw, my throat thick with ache. “Mum, is that you?” I could almost feel her arms wrap around me, the way they used to when the world outside became too loud and all I had was her. Her scent—floral and clean. The gentle hum she used to soothe me with. I could feel it again. Feel her. I curled into the warmth of that memory like it could pull me back to where she was. Maybe, just maybe, I’d died. Maybe that was the only way I’d hear her voice again. Maybe I’d finally crossed the bridge of missing her. But then the warmth shifted. Faded. And a prickling chill kissed my skin. Realit

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 50

    GABRIEL I slammed my claws into a nearby tree trunk, splintering bark. “This is gonna be a hell of blood and sweat to find her now,” I muttered through gritted teeth. My heart thundered. She was getting farther. I couldn’t feel her anymore—not through the bond. Just a haunting blankness. But then— I caught another scent. Familiar. Pack. Austin. And the other pack members. Without hesitation, I pivoted and took off, the wind howling against me as I followed the trail. It wove deep into the woods, winding through thick brush and sharp turns until I reached them—Austin, in wolf form, and Aurora riding low on his back. They stopped as soon as they caught sight of me, their bodies tense. Aurora’s eyes widened. She slid off quickly, reading the fury rolling off me in waves. She knew what was coming. I didn’t stop. I lunged. I crashed into Austin with full force, sending us both rolling across the dirt, teeth bared, snarls ripping from our throats. He met me halfway, growling
