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 North Storm pack, Leona Lombardi, and that the mating ceremony is scheduled for the 21st of this month—which is in four days. Alpha Erik states that Leona is his fated mate, that he already consummated

  • The Tribute Luna: A Year with the Enemy   Chapter 61: A Torch in the Dark

    LeonaI shivered from the cold and opened my eyes. The place was dark and smelled of damp and mould. I focused, but couldn't see or feel much — except the ropes biting into my skin where I was bound to a chair. Normally it would take me a second to snap my bindings, but now I was weak and incredibly dizzy. I'd been drugged."Alma," I called my wolf, unable to sense her.Only silence answered. I was certain of it now — they'd drugged me deep.I had no idea how long I'd been here since the dart hit my neck and I collapsed in my own kitchen. I strained to hear, feel, see anything that might tell me where I was and how the hell to get out.The door creaked open. Footsteps followed, and someone threw a bucket of ice-cold water over me. It was chilling to the bone, and it stank.I clenched my fists. "Show your face, coward," I spat.A melodic female laugh answered — sickeningly familiar — and the light snapped on.And there she stood, flanked by four ragged rogue males. Rose. Her airy white

  • The Tribute Luna: A Year with the Enemy   Chapter 60: What Have I Done

    Stellan Brian was still combing North Storm for any sliver of evidence when I entered Erik's packhouse. The Alpha, the Luna, their good-for-nothing son, and their Betas were already in the lobby, greeting me with a bow as protocol required. I could see how rigid Erik was, how much effort it cost him to hold a mask of politeness on his face. "Your Majesty," Alpha Caleb said, "we're flattered by your visit. But might you tell us what's so urgent that it brings you here in the middle of the night?" "My queen is missing. I'd say that's a good enough reason." I answered the Alpha, but my eyes stayed on Erik, waiting for anything to slip. His eyes widened; he sucked in a frantic breath. Somewhere behind my ribs, that dead, silent place where Leona used to hum ached like a fresh wound — every second I spent reading Erik's face was a second she spent Goddess-knew-where, drugged and alone. Was he afraid I'd expose the truth or simply be afraid for her? I had no patience left to guess polit

  • The Tribute Luna: A Year with the Enemy   Chapter 59: The Silence Where She Was

    Stellan I still couldn't fathom how Leona had the power to surprise me more and more. Every time I thought I knew her completely, she went further. She kept me on my toes — thrilled, always wanting more, and not only in the bedroom. Right now I was sprawled across the bed, still boneless from release and already hard again, feeling her desire and happiness rolling to me through the bond. But it was never just sex with her. Tonight she would mark me, sealing the bond fully — and nothing would ever come between us again. I pictured her padding barefoot in her silk gown, humming under her breath the way she always did when she was in an exceptionally good mood. Since I'd marked her, her joy poured down the bond, and it undid me completely. Any minute now she'd push open the door with that sly, seductive smile, carrying whatever she'd found to spice things up — as if she weren't already the hottest thing I'd ever known. Then a wave of confusion, followed by a blast of raw fear,

  • The Tribute Luna: A Year with the Enemy   Chapter 58: The Night I'd Mark Him

    Leona Watching the fire devour the pages of the contract was incredibly satisfying. "Now, the bright future ahead. I'm looking forward to Emiliya's mating ceremony — and to a litter of our own pups," Stellan laughed, hugging me from behind. Ah, Emiliya's ceremony — postponed several months because she wanted her art professor there, and he'd been overseas until next month. But the mention of pups caught me off guard. We'd never talked about them before. "Do you want pups?" I asked, hiding how emotional I'd suddenly become. "Of course I want pups with you, my love," he whispered, kissing my hair. "But only if you want them too. I can wait as long as it takes for you to be ready." I didn't answer right away. The truth was, the question undid something in me. I'd been a child no one wanted — a daughter my stepmother tolerated and my father forgot, raised on the understanding that love had to be earned and never quite could be. For most of my life, the idea of a family of my own ha

  • The Tribute Luna: A Year with the Enemy   Chapter 57: A Winning Card

    RoseI clenched my fists, digging my nails so deep they drew blood, biting my lip to keep from screaming. Again — again — that bitch Leona had come out of the trap victorious. Rebecca had her cornered; she'd stolen some contract proving Leona and Alpha Stellan's relationship was fake. I'd been waiting for the day I'd hear that Leona had crawled out of North Storm, humiliated and completely ruined. Instead, my cousin brought sad news: somehow Leona had been marked by her king and raised higher than ever.It made my blood boil. The veins at my temples pulsed, my vision blurring with fury. I closed my eyes, forced my breath to steady, and wiped the blood from my lip and palm with a white handkerchief.My hand slid to my still-flat belly — not with tenderness, but with the quiet satisfaction of a gambler covering her winning card. This was my guarantee. Erik could mourn Leona all he liked; no Alpha in the North could refuse to make the mother of his heir his Luna. The pup was the one chip

    Leona"Rebecca, that won't be necessary," Stellan said sternly, then looked out at the crowd. "There is one mistake I made seven months ago. And now it's time to correct it."His expression was unreadable, and the audience gasped, utterly confused.I watched Stellan's eyes sweep through the hall, searching for Sybilla — and his face darkened."Leona. Come to the stage. What has to be done needs to be done. No time to waste." Each of his words landed like a slap.So this was it. We'd agreed he couldn't let the contract go public — that it would destroy all of us — and that if Sybilla failed, we'd fall back on plan B: rejection. But even knowing that, I'd still nursed a fragile hope that in the end he'd choose me. Over the pack. Over the crown. Neither of us would rule anything after a humiliation like this, but we could still be together, even stripped of our titles. Our love just wasn't enough against power.I exhaled and began to climb the stage, my chin high. I would not let myself

    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
