I adjusted her in my arms, the weight of her body a perfect fit against my chest. Not heavy—never heavy—just warm, soft, and heartbreakingly vulnerable. She had fallen asleep straddling me, her fingers still tangled in the fabric of my shirt, her head tucked beneath my chin like it belonged there. Like she trusted me.

But she shouldn’t.

I wasn’t worthy of it. Not yet.

My steps were slow as I carried her through the hallway, each one echoing with everything I wanted to say but couldn’t. The packhouse was silent, bathed in the soft gold of early morning light. Penelope breathed softly against me, lashes fluttering as she slipped deeper into sleep.

Look at her, Damon growled in my mind, voice laced with disappointment. You made our mate cry. Again.

I clenched my jaw. “I didn’t mean to.”

Then why do you keep pushing her away? Why do you act like you don’t want her when every fiber of you screams otherwise? Damon snapped.

I didn’t have an answer. Not one I was proud of.

We reached her room

  • whispers beneath the moon   One week away

    A week.Yes, seven freaking days until Alex finds out I haven’t been completely honest with him.Seven days until I stand in front of an entire ballroom full of people who will be looking at me like they already know whether I’ll sink or swim.And no, I haven’t done anything particularly significant to prove I deserve to be Luna.But you know what? I’m going to go easy on myself.I did good yesterday, giving that speech in the kitchen. That was something.Alex is currently in a meeting I should probably be at, but he insisted I stay back. What a good little husband he would be—if we were married.Cherry is quiet again.I don’t even worry this time; she’s probably taking a well-earned break from my drama.Still, I should really wolf out soon—it’s been way too long since Cherry ran through the forest, and she’s probably sulking about itBy midmorning, my bedroom door slammed open so hard I thought the hinges were filing for divorce.“Rise and shine, sunshine! We’re making you a goddess,

  • whispers beneath the moon   Just me and you

    His grin deepened, voice rich and certain. "I’ll follow you even to the pits of hell, my love."My cheeks warmed, the blush blooming again under his gaze. It wasn’t just the words—it was the way he said them, as though he meant every syllable, as though no force on earth could drag him from me. My pulse thrummed in my ears, the faint scent of his cologne clinging to the air between us, mingling with the subtle fragrance of burning wood from the hearth.I smiled, a little secret curling at the corners of my lips. “Then follow me,” I murmured, stepping closer to him. Before he could move, I slipped a soft strip of fabric from my pocket and gently covered his eyes, tying the blindfold behind his head.He chuckled, low and warm, the sound vibrating through my chest. “A surprise?” he asked, his voice tinged with amusement.“It’s a surprise,” I confirmed, brushing my fingers along his jaw. “And you’re not allowed to open your eyes until I say so.”“Sure, my love,” he said, his grin audible

  • whispers beneath the moon   Mine and mine alone

    Alex's question hung in the air, that calm smile still in place. The scene from the hallway was fresh in my mind, but the sharp edge of jealousy had softened into something quieter—more curious than accusing.I stepped toward him, not rushing, just closing the space until I could feel the warmth radiating from him. My fingers brushed the front of his shirt, resting lightly over his heartbeat.His brow furrowed slightly. "Are you angry at me, love? Did I do something?" His lips quirked faintly. "Why did you kiss me suddenly? Not that I mind."I tilted my head, studying him. "Did you like smiling at her?" The words came out soft but edged.His hands slid to my waist, holding me there as his brows lifted. "Who, baby girl?""That girl," I said, my tone tightening just enough to let him know exactly which one I meant.Recognition flickered in his eyes, and then he chuckled—low and warm, the sound vibrating between us. His grip on my waist firmed, pulling me a fraction closer. "Are you jeal

  • whispers beneath the moon   Picnic date

    The moment I stepped out of the kitchen, I felt lighter — like I’d set something heavy down without even realizing I’d been carrying it.It wasn’t just the warmth of the bread still in my hands or the pleasant hum of chatter fading behind me. It was the way everyone had looked at me in there — not as an outsider, not as the woman who’d stumbled into the Nightfang Pack’s territory with baggage and broken edges. They’d looked at me like I belonged.For the first time, I could picture myself here… not just as Alex’s mate, but as the Luna of this castle.My chest swelled at the thought. My castle. My people. My place.Cherry stretched lazily in the back of my mind, her voice warm with pride. Finally. You’re starting to feel it. Took you long enough.I smiled as I made my way down the corridor, the image of Alex’s face flashing in my mind. I wanted to do something for him — something simple and ours. The constant duties, the endless meetings… we deserved a pause.So I headed toward the gar

  • whispers beneath the moon   From now on

    had an idea. Or at least I thought I did. Because now that I’m thinking about it, it’s starting to feel so stupid. I’ve tried jealousy, I’ve tried seduction, I’ve tried everything in the goddamn book and still, this man—my perfect, fine, self-disciplined Mr Man—is holding on to his self-control like crazy‎‎And maybe a part of me wants him to just give in and sleep with me, not just because I want it—God knows I do—but because maybe, just maybe, if he does, when he finds out about Ronan, we’ll be too far in, too tied, too entangled to fall apart. Our relationship would already be sealed. He wouldn’t be able to let go. And I wouldn’t lose him.‎‎The ball is getting close and Freya has basically taken charge of everything already. Daisy is waiting for me to come up with an idea, and honestly? So am I. Because I know I’m going to do something, I can feel it in my chest, in my blood—but I don’t know what it is yet. I just know it’s going to come.‎‎And God, I feel like a horrible mate.

    "Well that was disappointing."daisy’s voice cut through the silence of the room like a sharp snap of elastic she came earlier this morning hope to get some news sorry boo. I didn’t even look up. I was already sprawled out on my bed, one arm flung over my face, trying to breathe through the sheer ache that pulsed between my thighs."I know, rightttt," I groaned, dragging the word out like it had weight. "I appreciate him doing the whole gentleman act, I do. But god, daisy. I can't stand his self-control. It's... it's infuriating."She flopped down beside me, her curls brushing my arm. "You're telling me the man had you backed up against the wall, hands all over you, lips and teeth and tongue doing things that would make a nun cry... and he still walked away?""Mmm-hmm," I grunted, biting my bottom lip at the memory. "Like a devil in a silk suit. He teased the hell out of me, got me so worked up my legs were shaking, and then just—poof—goodnight angel, walks away."daisy scoffed. "What
