The Tribute Luna: A Year with the Enemy Chapter 54: Nobody Decides My Ending but Me
LeonaThe door opened and Stellan entered without knocking. His face was pale as a sheet, his eyes darting between me and Sybilla — the two of us casually clutching wine glasses like old friends."Care to join us?" Sybilla said, raising hers."I definitely need something stronger than that," he mumbled, lowering himself into the armchair.Was he this worked up over the whole situation of me leaving? I hated seeing him miserable — and yet, somewhere deep inside, a flicker of satisfaction ignited. He cared. He loved me.I poured him a glass of whisky, and he downed almost all of it in one go."Stellan, there's something I have to tell you," Sybilla began."And there's something I need to tell both of you," he replied, his tone making it clear nothing good was coming. "But go ahead first, Sybilla.""I've decided to release you from your promise to mate me. I do love you — but I won't stand between you and Leona. And frankly, I see myself as a witch, not a Luna. Maybe it was fate that pul

Leona"Leona, I may look naive, but I'm not. I can see exactly how Stellan looks at you, and how you look at him — even though you both try so desperately to hide it. Even behind your composed mask, I saw the way your hand trembled when he covered it with his. The pain in your eyes while you forced those fake smiles. I know everything."I set my glass down slowly. If she wanted a confession, she'd be waiting a long time. "And what exactly do you want me to do with that?""Nothing. I'm not accusing you." Sybilla sipped her wine, unbothered by the ice in my voice. "I dreamed about the day I'd see Stellan again. How ecstatic he'd be. The moment he'd drop to one knee and propose. I imagined it countless times — walking down the aisle in a pearl-white gown, Stellan waiting there with the face of the happiest man alive. But dreams and reality aren't the same. I came home only to find my place already taken, my man already standing beside another woman.""Then say what you came to say," I cu
The Tribute Luna: A Year with the Enemy Chapter 52: To Friendship
Leona I sat on the bed in the guest room, glancing at my luggage, standing neatly against the wall. There was no point unpacking — I'd have to leave soon anyway. The scent of cleaning detergent mixed with the fresh lilies by the bed filled the room. But the one scent that could have soothed my aching nerves was missing — Stellan's. I hated that I craved him. Even with Erik I'd always stood on my own two feet, but with Stellan I'd lowered my guard and leaned on him, and now I felt like I was falling — deep, hard — and not into an abyss of betrayal this time, but into a trap set by my own stupidity. And yet, the only thing I yearned for now was the warmth of his touch. "Go to him. Tell him how much you love him. Fight for him," Alma pleaded. "There's no point fighting when the battle was lost from the very beginning. I always knew Sybilla would come back. This whole thing with Stellan was just convenience — a perfectly staged Luna story, propped up by good sex and mutual understan
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

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
