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 43: One Blood, One Soul

    StellanI looked at Leona silently, mind-linking my warriors to disarm Rose before she could scratch herself. Honestly, the trick was cheap; she would never slit her own throat.Leona sighed.“Rose, you have a real talent for stealing my spotlight — my engagement party, and now my mating ceremony. Too bad it didn’t work this time.” She turned to the shaman. “Continue, please.”Rose’s eyes widened. “Leona, I’ll do it. I swear.”Erik swallowed hard, pale as a ghost, moving toward Rose, but she only pressed the dagger closer, and blood stained her pearl-white skin crimson. Some of the ladies covered their mouths, gasping loudly. The males watched carefully, stunned by the dramatic show — more curious than actually afraid for Rose’s life.“Like I care,” Leona huffed. “I’m already known as the most vicious, strong-headed woman in the North. What’s one more suicide added to my reputation?”Rose’s hand trembled, and in that mom

    Leona "Wow, you look stunning," said Emiliya as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. A royal-blue gown with a structured, sweetheart corset bodice. A multi-tiered tulle skirt that cascaded elegantly to the floor. My hair was swept back into a high, voluminous ponytail; smoky eyes and nude lipstick.Indeed, I looked good — and different from the usual bride.The majority of werewolves chose a white dress for the mating ceremony. Well, that was the humans' influence on our styles. I was a werewolf, and proud of it. And besides, white symbolized purity — and who was I trying to fool? So I'd chosen royal blue instead: the color of a warrior, not a blushing virgin bride. Let them whisper. I wasn't walking that carpet to be claimed. I was walking it to take a crown."Gari is waiting for me. Stellan will be here soon to take you to the hall for the ceremony," Emiliya said, then added in a hushed tone, her eyes shining, "Gari and I are going on a date tomorrow night. But shh — don't tell

    Leona “He feels like shit. Just give him a chance to redeem himself,” Alma lectured me. “No freaking way.” I snapped back and just rolled over on the bed, turning my back to Stellan. I knew he was awake, breathing hard. I knew he wanted to talk. But I was just exhausted. There was no need for an explanation, and I would not fight for someone who was never mine to begin with. * * * I opened my eyes and felt like I had never closed them at all. I stretched lazily, looking at Stellan’s side of the bed, and of course, he was already gone. Today was the last day before the mating ceremony. Traditionally, it was the day the groom and bride bonded, spending time doing fun activities together. Of course, ours was not like that, so I had the whole day to myself to just relax. I was humming a soft melody in the shower when I heard the suite door open. “Leona, are you getting ready?” Stellan shouted. For what? Good thing I’d at least bring a set of clothes into the shower with me. I qu

  • The Tribute Luna: A Year with the Enemy   Chapter 40: Simply Stand Up

    Stellan On pure instinct, I jumped into the pool and pulled Rebecca out — sobbing, trembling, her arms already snaking around my neck before I’d even set her on her feet. “Stellan, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I’d already be dead.” Emiliya, Garrison, and Brian had arrived at a dead run, warriors at their backs. They stood in a loose half-circle, chests heaving, eyes moving between Rebecca clinging to my chest and Leona standing three feet away, completely dry, completely still. Skoll was screaming at me. Not a warning — a command." Go to her. Go to Leona. You left her." "I know", I told him. "I know." Nobody spoke. The tension had a weight to it, the kind that crackles right before a storm breaks. I opened my mouth to ask Leona what had happened. She beat me to it. She started clapping. Slow. Deliberate. Eyes bright with a mockery so sharp it could draw blood. “Stellar performance, Rebecca.” The pun landed like a blade — and by the look on Leona’s face, it was complete

    LeonaEverything was moving too fast. Two rogues charged to grab my hands, and I stopped one with a kick to his crotch and cracked another’s jaw with my fist, bone splintering on impact. But the split second I was distracted dealing with those two, another one slapped me hard. My face snapped to the side, and I tasted copper.Alma clawed to shift, but I couldn’t allow it — the club was full of humans.The rogue leader grabbed my jaw, and I shoved back, headbutting him hard enough to white out my vision.“Fucking bitch, you’ll pay for that,” he roared, extending a claw toward my face while I was desperately throwing punches at two others.The blow never came. Brian lunged, knocking the leader off his feet and straddling him, punching relentlessly — the kind of violence that had no mercy in it.Garrison was already pinning another rogue to the wall, and Stellan knocked two of them unconscious in a single sweep. I drove my elbow into the fourth one’s skull, and his body went limp on the

    Stellan I couldn’t hide forever. I managed to slip into the shower only while Leona was away at combat training, but I couldn’t avoid the planning of the mating ceremony. Two days remained until our mating ceremony. A fake mating — yet more and more, it was beginning to feel real to me. “Make it real. End things with Sybilla for good,” Tyr barked. I gave a slight shake of my head in denial. I couldn’t do that. I had given Sybilla my word: no matter who duty placed at my side, my heart would remain hers. An Alpha who broke his promises was not worthy of being an Alpha at all. I entered my mother’s lounge. Mother, Garrison, Emiliya, and Leona were sitting on the sofa, picking at refreshments and chatting. Leona lifted her eyes to me, her hand with a pastry frozen mid-air, her gaze searching mine for answers. I turned away and took the seat farthest from her. My mother’s eyebrows shot up in confusion, but she said nothing. Neither did Leona — she simply went back to devouring her

    Leona "Gari," I said, mimicking Emiliya's voice perfectly before dropping into my own dead-serious tone, "I am not blind. You always watch Emiliya when she isn't looking. When she smiles, your eyes light up too." "Luna, you're overthinking," he replied, his eyes darting around uncomfortably. "E

    Rebecca I quickly ran to the garden the moment the meeting room door started to open, but I had already heard everything. I could not believe my ears—Leona was a shameless slut, rolling around in bed with Erik. I couldn't see the video, but I heard all the moans and groans and the

    StellanI could feel Leona stiffen and turn pale, staring at the stone as if she were under a spell.“Do not be afraid. I’ve got this,” I whispered in her ear, but she just locked her eyes with mine, looking completely crushed. Never had I seen this proud she-wolf looking so dev

    One of the council members stood up and announced loudly, “Alpha Stellan, we came here to rectify the complaint submitted to us by Alpha heir Erik, who claims that you have lied to your Elders and the Council. You stated previously that you took the virginity of your mate, the future Luna of the No
