Leona

Colette and Emiliya were staring at me, frozen in confusion. Rebecca’s eyes flickered nervously between me and the woman sobbing on the floor, her mind clearly failing to process how her perfect plan had backfired so spectacularly.

Stellan looked like he was seeing a ghost. A moment ago, he had been red with a murderous rage, ready to claw the woman he thought was me. It stung—a sharp, cold poke to my heart—that he hadn't doubted the scene for a second. He hadn't t

  • The Tribute Luna: A Year with the Enemy   Chapter 51: Fairy and War Goddess

    StellanSkoll was urging me to go comfort Leona, but I stood rooted to the spot, looking at Sybilla's bright eyes and radiant smile."Did you miss me?" she whispered, pecking my lips and fisting my shirt. "My studies finished early, so I came back to you — finally, to become yours."I sighed. I'd dreamed of this moment a million times. The love of my life, returning, folding into my arms. According to the script, I was supposed to spin her around now, or kiss her breathless, or make some beautiful speech about eternal love and the future we'd build.Instead I just stood there like an idiot, completely numb. And that was when I stopped being able to lie to myself and had to face the bitter truth — my love for Sybilla was gone. It had died quietly somewhere in the last few months, in a bed that smelled of another woman, and this morning I'd finally said the words out loud into Leona's hair. I love you. I'd meant them with everything I had. But my obligation to Sybilla hadn't died with t

    Leona"You must be Stellan's Luna," Sybilla beamed, moving toward me. I was rooted to the spot, unable even to blink, as she took my hand in both of hers like we were old friends. Her skin was warm — unnaturally so, a low heat that hummed against mine, as if something lived just under it. "I don't know how I'll ever repay you for what you've done for us. I'm truly grateful — for all your support, for standing by Stellan and holding my place while I was away."I had never in my life been at a loss for words, but now my throat went dry, and I couldn't speak. There was no mockery in her voice, no bitter undertone. She meant it. Every single word. Her sincerity caught me completely off guard. I knew how to handle bullies, sly foxes, snakes in the grass — but how was I supposed to handle a woman who genuinely believed I'd stood by her beloved's side out of nothing but a contract and a kind heart?She didn't know me. I didn't possess that kind of heart. But that not-so-pure heart was bleedi

  • The Tribute Luna: A Year with the Enemy   Chapter 49: Happy Birthday, Luna

    LeonaThe next few months passed at the speed of light — and, honestly, they were the best months of my life. Stellan and I grew inseparable, and everything with him was smooth, easy, joyful: the way we led the pack, and the way we were with each other behind closed doors. With him, every single day felt like a honeymoon. Which should have been my first warning. In my experience, life doesn't hand you months like that for free — it runs a tab, and it always, always comes to collect.So when I dashed into our bedroom that morning to grab the documents I'd reviewed the night before, already late for a meeting, I stopped dead and gasped.The room was drowning in roses and balloons — red and white. A pile of gift boxes sat beside the bed, and Stellan stood over them like he'd been waiting all morning."Happy birthday, Luna."Tears pricked the corners of my eyes, and I was immediately furious at myself. So many years I'd survived on spite and sharp elbows, and here I was, undone by balloon

  • The Tribute Luna: A Year with the Enemy   Chapter 48: Borrowed Paradise

    Leona My jaw dropped the moment we arrived at the resort. Stellan had reserved a three-bedroom villa with a private pool and beach access, and the resort itself was like a small romantic city — restaurants, bars, clubs, and parks all on its grounds. I stared at an exotic pink flower the size of my head and started flipping through the activity booklet I'd grabbed off a table. Strong arms wrapped around me from behind, and Stellan pressed a kiss to my shoulder. "Penny for your thoughts," he teased. "Nothing special. Just seeing what there is to do," I said calmly — as if his hands on me weren't already lighting a fire I'd have to pretend later I hadn't felt. "I've got a couple of ideas," he murmured against my ear, his hands sliding down to brush my stomach. "So do I." I turned and pointed at the page. "Swimming with dolphins. Diving the coral reefs. And tomorrow morning, the whales." Stellan's face fell. "At four a.m.? Are you serious?" "It's the best time to see them. Or wha

    Stellan"Don't touch my sister with your filthy hands," I growled.My chest heaved, my blood boiling. If Leona hadn't planted herself in front of the bastard, I'd already have punched that smug face.I grew up with Garrison. My best friend — more like a brother. He'd seen Emiliya in diapers before she could even walk, and now he had the nerve to suck her face like a starving man? Out of all the thousands — millions, billions, Goddess knows how many — she-wolves in the packs he chose my little sister to toy with?"Brother, calm down," Emiliya squeaked, peeking over Leona's shoulder while shielding Garrison with her own slender frame. Fantastic. Both my women — my sister and my mate — protecting a massive Beta like he was made of glass."Stop hiding behind women, you coward," I yelled. Leona narrowed her eyes at me.Garrison tried to step toward me, but Emiliya wrapped her arms around him, and he couldn't move without shoving her aside.Unshed tears gathered in the corners of her eyes,

    StellanLeona had heard me talking to Dayana. I needed to clear the air. But Garrison and Brian were already walking into my study, and after them, the meetings ran back to back to the end of the day. The conversation would have to wait."Damn it, Alpha. You lucky bastard." Brian dropped into the chair across from me, grinning. "Your Luna isn't just smoking hot and a badass warrior — she's sharp with the ledgers, too." His eyes found the red marks on my neck. "And wild, apparently."Skoll puffed his chest like Brian had handed him a trophy. I said nothing. I knew all of it. That was the problem. Every word was true, but she was not mine to keep."I'd prefer you didn't speak about my mate that way." It came out lower than I meant it to. Brian's eyes went wide. I'd never snapped at him before."Easy, you possessive animal." Garrison, smoothing it over. Then, quieter: "Jokes aside — she's incredible. Even your mother praises her, and you know how rare that is. So why haven't you marked h

    Curiosity peaked, and I bolted out to find Alpha Caleb and see what was going on. But before I could reach the doorknob to exit the packhouse, a strong hand grabbed my wrist and spun me around."Babe, it's not safe out there," Erik said, his voice laced with concern."Shouldn't you be worrying abou

    I grabbed my silk robe and tied it swiftly."And why shall we postpone our mating ceremony?" I asked sternly, crossing my arms.Erik was dressing with such speed you’d think the room was on fire. "Baby, please understand. Rose is sick. She has Moonshade disease. Have you ever heard of it?" His voic

    “I hope you do not mind Rose coming with us. I want my sister and mate to become friends,” Erik announced, opening the passenger door for me.But Rose chimed in before I could step toward it. “I am sorry, but I feel so sick in the back. The motion makes my head spin. Could I please take the passeng

    Erik mumbled to Rose, holding her like she was the most precious thing in the world. “You’re so pale. I will take you to the infirmary.”“That won't be necessary. Luna Mia can handle it,” barked Erik’s father. His voice was a whip of authority, slicing through Erik’s panicked haze.Luna Mia stepped
