LOGINBecca quickened her pace as she moved through the mansion's corridors, determined not to let Eugene's anger change her mind.She had barely made it past the staircase when she heard his voice echoing from somewhere behind her."Find Luna Queen Becca and bring her back to me. Immediately!"Becca's steps faltered. He had actually sent guards after her.She knew this entire situation was hard for him, but she needed him to understand just how important this conversation between herself and Tyler is.Eugene was just focused on the negative aspects, which Becca felt were extremely stupid, considering the fact that she had told Tyler to leave in the first place.She closed her eyes briefly, trying to suppress her frustration. She should have known Eugene wouldn't accept her decision without a fight. His possessiveness had always been a problem, but lately, it seemed to be getting worse.She wasn't a prisoner, and she refused to be treated like one.Turning a corner, she continued toward the
Seraphina released a shaky breath as she hurried down the corridor, finally allowing herself to relax now that she was far away from Becca and the guards who had surrounded her.That had been far too close.For a moment, she had genuinely believed Becca would force the truth out of her. She had looked determined enough to have every guard in the mansion drag Seraphina into a dungeon if that was what it took to get answers about Mira's fall.Thankfully, Mira's unexpected appearance had provided the perfect distraction.Seraphina had seized the opportunity and slipped away before Becca could turn her attention back to her. She had escaped, but the experience had left her furious.How dare Becca corner her like that?Seraphina wasn't one of her servants, and she certainly wasn't someone who could be ordered around simply because Becca wore the title of Luna Queen. She had secrets of her own, and she intended to keep them that way.Especially the secret involving Kaelyn. That one was way
Eugene paced furiously around his chambers, his hands clenched into fists as he struggled to contain the rage boiling inside him.The sheer audacity of Tyler and the fools who had accompanied him to Blackwood Pack was almost unbelievable. They had crossed into his territory, stood before him in his own grand hall, and dared to suggest that he relinquish his mate to another man.His mate, his Luna Queen, the woman he had fought to keep by his side.He had shown restraint in the grand hall, but only because the consequences of acting on his anger would extend beyond those four visitors. Tyler was an Alpha's son, and his presence in Blackwood Pack under the protection of an official delegation meant that killing him would not be a simple matter.It could mean war, and yet, Eugene found it increasingly difficult to care about the political consequences.A sharp knock interrupted his thoughts."Come in!" Eugene barked.The door opened, and Becca stepped inside.Eugene immediately turned t
Seraphina had never imagined that a day would come when she would find herself cornered by Becca.She pressed her lips together, her eyes moving between Becca and the guards. She needed to think of a way out, but every possible excuse she considered seemed unlikely to work.Becca knew too much already. She had overheard the conversation about Desmond's plan, she had heard Seraphina threaten Kaelyn over something terrible she had done, and she had clearly connected those threats to Mira's fall.If Seraphina continued refusing to speak, Becca might decide to take her directly to Eugene.That was a risk she couldn't afford."You're making a mistake, Becca," Seraphina said, trying one last time to discourage her."Then help me understand what that mistake is” Becca said.Seraphina's expression tightened.For several seconds, the women stared at each other until Seraphina finally released a frustrated breath."Fine. You want to know what Kaelyn did? I'll tell you” she said.Becca immediate
Mira couldn't explain why she didn't want to leave the library.She had originally entered the room looking for something to read, and she had expected to spend a few minutes browsing through the shelves before returning to her bedroom. Instead, she had found herself standing in front of a man she couldn't remember, holding his hand and feeling an inexplicable connection she couldn't understand.Perhaps it was because he looked at her differently from everyone else.Becca was always careful around her, constantly trying to help her recover her memories. The maids treated her as though she might break if they weren't careful enough. Even the healers seemed to study her every movement, hoping to discover some indication that her memory was returning.Jack, however, looked at her as though he had lost something precious, and somehow, that expression made her want to know him."I'm sorry," Mira said, withdrawing her hand slightly. "I hope you don't think I'm being rude by asking so many
Becca stared at the two women standing before her, waiting for one of them to speak.Kaelyn looked furious at being caught in such an awkward situation, while Seraphina seemed to be calculating the best way to escape the conversation. Their silence only strengthened Becca's suspicion that she had stumbled upon something important."Well?" Becca demanded. "I'm still waiting for an answer."Kaelyn scoffed. "I don't know what you think you heard, but this conversation has nothing to do with you.""Nothing to do with me?" Becca repeated incredulously. "I heard Seraphina threaten you about something terrible you had done. What exactly was she talking about?""That's none of your business” Kaelyn said.Becca's expression hardened."Perhaps you should remember who you're speaking to” she replied,Kaelyn's eyes flashed with resentment, but she quickly lowered her gaze, unwilling to challenge Becca openly."I'm sorry, but I have nothing to say about this” she said."Then let me make this eas
Mira’s eyes were wide with urgency, her chest heaving from the speed of her steps. She barely gave Becca time to speak before gripping her wrist tightly.“Becca,” she whispered, her voice barely louder than a breath. “You won’t believe it. I was cleaning the room like you asked, just keeping thing
The long, echoing hallways of the Blackwood Pack mansion shimmered faintly with the glow of morning light filtering through the tall arched windows. The once-chaotic rhythm of the estate had slowed, subdued into an eerie calm. Luna Seraphina walked gracefully, her heels clicking against the polis
Becca returned to the infirmary, her boots clicking softly against the polished stone floors, her breath coming in uneven bursts. The heavy double doors creaked as she pushed them open. Inside, Mira looked up immediately from the counter, her hazel eyes reflected both surprise and concern.“You’r
The air inside the Vargus pack infirmary was heavy with the scent of crushed herbs and the soft, rhythmic hum of lanternflies flickering outside the high arched windows. The stone walls, smooth and warm from the afternoon sun, seemed to breathe with the silence that enveloped the room. Only the o
