The gentle light of early morning slipped through the arched windows, pulling me out of my deep, dreamless sleep.

For a split second after I opened my eyes, I forgot where I was and my heart dipped as dread washed through me. Then the softness of the oversized mattress beneath me, the rich scent of cedarwood, and the quiet of the room brought last night flooding back.

  • Three Alphas and the Rogue Luna   Chapter 18

    Gemma’s POVThe gentle light of early morning slipped through the arched windows, pulling me out of my deep, dreamless sleep. For a split second after I opened my eyes, I forgot where I was and my heart dipped as dread washed through me. Then the softness of the oversized mattress beneath me, the rich scent of cedarwood, and the quiet of the room brought last night flooding back.I sat up, resting my hand against my stomach. My body was still battered, but the exhaustion had faded.A quiet knock echoed against the door before it swung open. Clara, the woman from the night before, stepped into the suite carrying a silver tray. She set it down on the low table near the window without a word. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, warm buttered pastries, scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit immediately filled the air.“Alpha thought you would be hungry,” Clara said, her voice dry.She turned toward the walk-in closet, opening the doors to reveal a freshly hung war

  • Three Alphas and the Rogue Luna   Chapter 17

    Simon’s POVThe car’s engine softly hummed, the sound cutting through the quiet space as we swept down a highway slick with rain. Beside me, the woman had her head resting against the cool glass of the window. Her breathing was slow and rhythmic, deep in the kind of sleep that only comes from what I imagine would be a bone-deep exhaustion.I leaned back against the dark leather upholstery, resting my ankle over my knee, and simply watched her.Her golden hair fell across her face, shielding her features from view as her shoulders rose and fell.It was almost comical how effortlessly this whole situation had fallen into my lap. I had spent weeks plotting how to hit Lazarus right where it would cripple him. Then I heard the story of a woman he was hiding from my spies. Not too long after, it was reported she was gone, and I shifted my plans to extract his missing Luna, calculating the precise amount of force and collateral damage required to drag her out of

  • Three Alphas and the Rogue Luna   Chapter 16

    Gemma’s POV I froze dead in my tracks, my hand hovering inches from the door handle. My breath caught in my throat, a sudden wave of dread washing over me from head to toe. For a terrible moment, as the silence of the diner pressed in around me, I wondered if I was finally losing my mind completely. When I was finally able to shake the feeling off, I slipped out the door of the diner, pushing through the exit without making a sound. The biting cold of the Rogueland evening air hits me right in my face, instantly cooling my skin. I hoisted the strap of my bag higher on my shoulder, every muscle in my back throbbing with a dull ache that made me grit my teeth. I needed to get out of this town. I needed to put as many miles as I could between myself and the suffocating claims of Lazarus and Dean before either of them decided they could do more shouting and arguing to try and convince me. I ducked under the low ledge near the

  • Three Alphas and the Rogue Luna   Chapter 15

    Gemma’s POV I turned my back on the two men arguing in the diner and climbed the stairs back to the guest room. It didn’t escape me that these moments had become horridly repetitive in the past few hours. They would bicker and almost start hitting each other and I would step in and stop them. Every single step felt like lifting a ton of bricks. By the time I closed the heavy bedroom door behind me, my head pulsed with a violent ache right behind my eyes. My ribs throbbed, my neck still stung where Cole’s blade had grazed my skin, and every muscle in my body burned with an exhaustion that threatened to undo me. I arrived in the room to find that it was empty. Paula had left, and as soon as I entered I closed the door shut behind me. Then I leaned my back against it, shutting my eyes.The dark offered no relief. My whole life had been stripped away and replaced by a collection of loud, demanding strangers trying to convince me of who I used to be.

  • Three Alphas and the Rogue Luna   Chapter 14

    Dean’s POVIt was hard to forget the look in Gemma’s eyes.Harder still, to make sense of this new reality we were now stuck in.She let herself get led upstairs by Paula after hearing that Lazarus’s Priestess might know what happened to her, and it was clear to anyone that she found the news distressing.My mind flashed to the memory of her from a few moments earlier.When she stood at the bottom of those creaky wooden stairs and looked at me, there was nothing in her gaze. No recognition or old affection, not even the faint whisper of a memory. I was just an overbearing stranger standing in the diner, barking orders about a life she couldn’t remember living.It felt like a physical blow, far worse than any hit I’d taken before. I’d spent months searching for her, tracking rumors that always led to dead ends.I had burned through every contact I had in the underground just to find her. We had a history that stretched back to childhood, long before she ev

  • Three Alphas and the Rogue Luna   Chapter 13

    Gemma’s POVThe thin mattress under my back felt like a slab of concrete, but I didn’t want to move. I lay completely still under the scratchy wool blanket, staring up at the water-stained ceiling of the tiny room above Paula’s Diner.Slowly, I slid my right hand down across my slightly bulging stomach, and without warning, a sudden ripple pulsed beneath my palm.I froze, my breath catching in my throat. It wasn’t a sharp or forceful kick as I wasn’t far enough along for that; not by any medical standard I knew, at least. Yet beneath my fingers, the pulse beat back against my palm.For the very first time since waking up in that cold hospital room in Rogueland with a blank mind and a murky past, a wave of genuine, strange warmth bloomed through me. It wasn’t the terrifying heat of the fever that had wracked me for weeks, or the suffocating burn of panic. It was a grounding, stubborn heat that spread outward from my womb, wrapping around my heart with a soli
