Second Chance For The Broken Luna 51: To The Hunt (2)
Krista*The woods sounded different without my wolf, but not entirely dead. There were still sounds if I concentrated hard enough. Tiny movements hidden behind the groan of branches overhead and the whisper of wind through leaves.There was another rustle, closer this time. I narrowed my eyes and moved carefully towards it, placing each foot down with deliberate caution. The damp earth softened my footsteps and the cold air brushed against my face as I slipped between the trees.Somewhere behind me, Jacob remained silent and watching. I refused to think about how aware I was of him even now. Instead, I focused until the world narrowed, until all I could hear was the faint scrape-scrape-scrape ahead of me.Then I saw it. At the base of a large tree sat a squirrel, tiny paws working busily as it buried something under loose dirt and leaves. In this darkness, the animal was little more than a blur of grey-brown fur and twitching movement, but my entire attention locked onto it instantly
Second Chance For The Broken Luna 51: To The Hunt (1)
Krista*I had been planning to go see Kenan after I’d dressed, but that could wait. I was not relishing the prospect of spending time with Jacob, but the thought of making progress in seeing my wolf again, appealed to me. Besides, Kenan didn’t know I was coming, so there was no possibility of keeping him waiting. I’m sure he would appreciate more time with Leah.Meeting Jacob’s gaze, I nodded and asked him to give me a moment to get dressed. The smile he gave me made heat pool in my belly but I turned away, not trusting myself to stand until I heard the door close behind him.The instant the latch clicked shut, I let out a long breath and pressed both hands against the vanity. “Get a grip,” I muttered to myself.It was ridiculous that a single smile from him could still affect me this way after everything. Ridiculous and frankly humiliating. I stared at my reflection in the mirror for a second longer before straightening.Do not forget what he did to you. The reminder came quickly an

Krista *I could understand that more than I wanted to admit. Because once upon a time, I had been in her exact position as the anxious wife watching another woman occupy her husband’s thoughts. The woman trying desperately not to notice that part of the man she loved belonged elsewhere.My grip tightened slightly around the hairbrush. I remembered the day Laurel returned vividly and I remembered the way Jacob had looked at her. Somewhere deep inside myself, I had known that whatever fragile delusion I had built for myself — the fantasy that maybe someday Jacob would truly love me — had finally come to an end.It had hurt more than I could describe. So yes, even if I had no love for Laurel, I understood the insecurity consuming her now. And for that reason alone, I pitied her.A knock sounded on the door, interrupting my train of thought and I called for the knocker to come in. I expected it to be Serah, here with my breakfast or another serving of gossip, but no, it was Jacob, clad
Second Chance For The Broken Luna 50: Early Gossip (2)
Krista *Serah hugged the pillow dramatically against herself. “But seriously,” she said, eyes sparkling again, “what do you think happened?”I sighed and swung my legs over the edge of the bed. “I think,” I said carefully, “that whatever happened between Laurel and Jacob is none of my business.”Even as I said it, my thoughts betrayed me again. Because despite every warning I gave myself, despite knowing I should stay far away from whatever storm was brewing between them, my mind continued circling the same question over and over. What exactly had Jacob told Laurel?The question stayed with me throughout the morning.No matter what I did, no matter what task occupied my hands, my thoughts kept circling back to the same thing over and over again.What exactly could have happened between Jacob and Laurel badly enough for Laurel to destroy his room and move out of the manor altogether? Even after Serah finally left my room to return to her duties, the thought lingered stubbornly at the

Krista*I woke to the persistent sensation of someone tapping lightly against my arm. At first, I tried to ignore it. I buried my face deeper into the pillow, dragging the blanket higher over my shoulder with a grumble. The bed was warm, the room cool from the early morning air drifting through the curtains, and after the emotionally exhausting day I had yesterday, sleep had claimed me deeply.The tapping came again. “Krista,” a voice whispered urgently. “Kristaaa.”With immense reluctance, I cracked one eye open. Serah hovered over me, her eyes practically glowing with excitement. I blinked at her blearily before turning my head toward the window. Pale dawn light barely filtered through the curtains. The sun had not properly risen yet.Groaning, I looked back at her. “Serah,” I muttered hoarsely, “why in the Goddess’s name are you waking me up at this hour?”There were soap suds still clinging to her forearms and even one streak near her elbow as if she had abandoned whatever washin

Jacob*Luke’s eyes widened. Immediately, he shook his head.“No,” he said quickly though his gaze betrayed him almost instantly by darting right back toward the bowl. “It’s your food.” The answer was polite enough that I suspected Krista’s influence immediately.I leaned back slightly in my chair. “I’m quite full already,” I lied smoothly. “And if you won’t take it, I’ll just have the leftovers fed to that stray cat prowling around the manor.”At the mention of the cat, Luke’s expression changed at once. His small brows furrowed seriously as though weighing the morality of allowing perfectly good chicken to go to an animal. Then, shyly, he reached for the bowl. “Thank you,” he murmured.I pushed the spoon toward him as well. Luke smiled faintly before digging in with considerably less restraint than he had shown with the cheese. I watched him eat in silence, strangely content. The boy really was easy company. There was none of the stiffness children often displayed around me once the

Jacob*Pushing myself to my feet, I dusted off the dirt and leaves that clung to my clothes. The tension that had coiled tightly in my chest began to unwind as I stepped away from the maple tree, following the trail the boy had left behind.As I walked, a thought stirred in the back of my mind. H

Jacob****The evening air was thick with excitement as Laurel and I stepped out of the house, surrounded by our staff members. Dressed in ceremonial attire, they looked every bit the proud wolves of the Red Moon Pack. Their garments gleamed under the soft glow of lanterns as we made our way to the

KristaI stared at my reflection, willing the hollow look in my eyes to fade, forcing my lips to curve into a passable smile. But the result looked as tired and insincere as I felt inside. Tonight, of all nights, I couldn't afford to let my emotions slip through the cracks. Tonight was about duty,

KristaWhat had I expected? That Jacob would magically fall in love with me just because we’d spent a few years married? That he would look at me one day and suddenly see me, really see me, instead of the shadow I’d become in his life?I let out a bitter laugh, though it sounded more like a sob. Wh
