The moon hung high in the night sky as Kyla sat on the porch of the pack house, her thoughts swirling like the wind through the trees. Inside, the pack leaders were still debating the situation. The revelation that someone in the pack might have betrayed them left a bitter taste in her mouth. Trust was already fragile after Asher’s unexpected return, and now this added another layer of uncertainty.

Damian had taken charge, interrogating the warriors and leaders who had known about the mission,

  • Winning His Ex-Luna's Heart   The Reckoning

    Eric was already on the training grounds when Damian walked out to meet him.The morning was still raw at its edges, that particular quality of early light that makes everything look slightly unreal, like the world hasn't fully committed to being itself yet. A thin mist sat low over the grass. The pack house behind Damian was beginning to stir; Kyla could hear it from her position at the side window, the creak of floorboards, the muffled voices of wolves waking to what they assumed was an ordinary morning. None of them knew what the next ten minutes would change.Eric stood with his back to the pack house, surveying the roster board where the day's patrol assignments were posted. He had a mug of something hot in his hand. He looked, from where Kyla watched, entirely at ease the ease of a man with a clear conscience, or the ease of a man so practised at performance that the difference had long since ceased to matter.Damian crossed the yard at a pace that was neither hurried nor casual

  • Winning His Ex-Luna's Heart   The Weight of the Truth

    They came back through the trees at a run, and the forest was different on the return quieter, but not the quiet of emptiness. The quiet of held breath. The kind of silence a forest makes when it is paying attention. Kyla ran with her hand pressed lightly to her belly and her eyes ahead, and the medallion was gone from her hand she had felt it dissolve at the slot, absorbed into the stone, its purpose complete in whatever way she didn't yet fully understand. But the warmth remained. She thought it might always remain.They reached the pack house as the sky was beginning to lighten at its eastern edge that thin, tentative grey that comes before the colour does, when the world hasn't quite decided to be morning yet.Damian was on the porch.He had not been sleeping. She could see that from fifty yards out the rigid stillness of a man who had been sitting in one place for a very long time working very hard not to pace. He stood when he saw them break from the tree line, his eyes moving

  • Winning His Ex-Luna's Heart    What River Carried

    Kyla had never met River before tonight. She knew of her the woman who had been slated to be Damian's Luna before Kyla arrived and rearranged the order of things. She had imagined her vaguely, the way you imagine people who hate you: tall, cold, beautiful in a pointed way, the kind of woman who made rooms feel smaller when she entered them.She had not imagined this.River was all of those things and also, unmistakably, frightened.She stood at the mouth of the passage with her hands visible, empty, her dark eyes moving from Kyla to Asher and back again. There was a cut across her left cheekbone that was still bleeding, recent enough that the blood hadn't dried. Her clothes were torn at the shoulder. She had been running. And by the sound of the wolves above growing louder now, circling not fast enough."They followed me," River said, breathing hard. "I didn't lead them to you. They followed me.""Who?" Asher moved between River and Kyla in one smooth step."Vance's scouts. They've

  • Winning His Ex-Luna's Heart   Into the Dark

    Finding Asher at that hour was not difficult. He was the only person in the pack who wasn't sleeping — partly because no one had offered him a proper room, and partly because Kyla suspected he hadn't slept in days. He was seated on the low wall at the edge of the training grounds, his forearms resting on his knees, staring at nothing the way men do when they're having a very loud conversation with themselves.He heard her coming before she reached him. Of course he did. He was still an Alpha, whatever else he had become.He turned, and something moved across his face — not surprise, exactly. More like a man who had been bracing for something and wasn't entirely sure whether this particular thing was it."Kyla.""I need you to come somewhere with me," she said. No preamble. She didn't have time for it, and more than that, she didn't have the emotional energy to soften this. "Tonight. Now. I'll explain on the way."He studied her for a moment. His crimson eyes — so different from Damian

  • Winning His Ex-Luna's Heart   The Wolf in the Walls

    The silence that followed Eric's exit felt heavier than the night itself. Kyla sat with her shoulder pressed against Damian's arm, staring out at the darkness beyond the porch railing, listening to the forest breathe. Somewhere in those trees, something was watching them. She could feel it the same way she could feel the medallion pulsing from her bedroom — a slow, rhythmic throb, like a second heartbeat living beneath her skin.She had not told Damian about that.She had not told him that since she'd touched the artifact in the forest, it hadn't truly left her. Not physically — it sat wrapped in cloth inside the hollow of the wooden nightstand drawer. But its energy clung to her, wove itself into her breathing, settled in the space behind her ribs like a coal that never cooled. She didn't know what it meant. She only knew it frightened her."You should sleep," Damian said, his voice low, almost tender in the way strong men get when they're trying very hard not to show how scared they

  • Winning His Ex-Luna's Heart   Battle Lines

    The pack grounds were a war zone. The air was thick with the scent of blood and the sounds of battle: growls, snarls, and the brutal clash of bodies. Damian fought at the front line, his wolf form a blur of motion as he tore through the rogue wolves with relentless precision. Every movement was calculated, every strike purposeful. But despite the pack’s fierce defense, the rogues were unrelenting, and the battle raged on.Kyla watched from the safety of the pack house, her heart pounding as she tried to keep her composure. She had promised Damian she would stay inside, but every instinct screamed at her to be out there, helping to defend her pack. She felt trapped, powerless as she watched the wolves she cared about risk their lives.Through the window, Kyla could see Damian fighting with incredible strength and speed, his wolf form a force of nature. But even from a distance, she could sense the toll the battle was taking on him. The rogues kept coming, wave after wave, and the pack

  • Winning His Ex-Luna's Heart   The First Strike

    The day began in an unsettling calm. The pack had spent weeks preparing for Vance’s inevitable attack, yet as the sun climbed higher in the sky, the eerie silence only heightened their anxiety. Kyla stood at the window of the pack house, her gaze fixed on the distant treeline. The forest seemed stil

  • Winning His Ex-Luna's Heart   Betrayal Uncovered

    The fight in the forest was fierce, but Damian and the pack warriors managed to fend off the rogues long enough for them to retreat. Kyla stood in the aftermath, her heart still racing as she tried to catch her breath. The medallion was still safe in her bag, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that

  • Winning His Ex-Luna's Heart   Preparations

    The next few days passed in a whirlwind of activity. Damian had called an emergency pack meeting, revealing the threat they faced and the preparations they needed to make. The news of the impending attack sent shockwaves through the pack, but under Damian's strong leadership, fear quickly turned to

  • Winning His Ex-Luna's Heart   Secrets Revealed

    The tension in the air was thick as Kyla stood in Damian’s study, the small medallion cradled in her hands. The weight of its significance pressed down on her, and though it was small, it felt like it could change everything. The artifact held a power she didn’t fully understand, and the responsibil
