Jacob*Krista’s wolf, meanwhile, seemed wholly unconcerned by my reaction. Using her tail, she nudged Luke gently closer toward her enormous body until the boy was nearly swallowed by silver fur. Luke laughed delightedly and wrapped both arms around her neck in a hug.The sight did something strange to my chest.The wolf lowered her head beside him carefully, protective instinct radiating from her so strongly that even I could feel it. All the hostility she directed at me had vanished for the moment, replaced entirely by tenderness toward the child pressed against her side.Luke tilted his head back to peer up at her. “When will I shift?” he asked eagerly. “Will I look just like you?”There was such innocent excitement in his voice that despite everything weighing on me today, I felt another reluctant smile threaten.“You’ll probably shift for the first time around the age of ten,” I told him. “Until then, nobody knows what your wolf will look like. It stays a mystery.”Luke frowned

Jacob*Curled comfortably amongst the blankets, eyes closed and chest rising slowly, the wolf might have appeared asleep to anyone who did not know better. But I was not deceived.My surprise slowly gave way to concern. What had happened? What could possibly have made Krista feel unsafe enough for her wolf to emerge again so soon after the woods?Behind me, Serah finally caught up, still slightly breathless. “I came to ask Miss Krista what she wanted for a late breakfast,” she explained hurriedly. “And-and when I entered the room, I saw her wolf instead.” Her voice climbed higher with lingering panic.“She hasn’t felt her wolf for years,” Serah continued. “Seeing her here suddenly like this… I didn’t know what to do.”I understood her shock perfectly.Aside from myself, no one knew Krista had managed to shift in the woods earlier. To Serah, who was one of the few aware that Krista’s wolf had simply vanished years ago and never returned, seeing her suddenly sprawled across the bed wou
Second Chance For The Broken Luna 52: One Down (2)
Jacob*The realization settled over me with grim finality, and despite the fact we were not more than acquaintances relating in our official capacities, sorrow washed through me in a slow, unavoidable tide.Magnus Adrian had been many things: proud and stern. Even territorial to a fault. But he had also been a capable Alpha and a devoted mate. I had known him for years. We had fought alongside each other before. We had drunk together during alliance celebrations and argued over borders and trade routes like every Alpha eventually did.And now he was gone, killed by rogues no less. My hand tightened unconsciously around the invitation.I thought first of Sophia. She had loved her father fiercely, I had seen that much when she had come to see. Magnus had indulged her in ways few Alpha fathers indulged their daughters, and everyone who knew them could see it plainly. She would be shattered by this. Then my thoughts shifted to Cara. A dull heaviness settled in my chest at the thought of

Jacob *Krista would not leave my mind. When we had changed into the clothes in my bag and had returned from the woods, the silence between us had stretched taut the entire walk back to the manor. Neither of us had spoken about what happened. Not about her shifting, not about her wolf appearing and certainly about the hatred I had heard so clearly in her wolf’s voice.The moment we stepped inside the manor, Krista had turned to me and said she needed time alone. Her expression had been tight, overwhelmed in a way I understood all too well. Before I could even think to answer, she had already begun walking away.I had let her go. What else could I have done?The happenings in the woods had left my mind in disarray, each thought colliding violently against the next. But chief among them all was one terrible realization: Krista’s wolf hated me. Not disliked or distrusted or even loathed. She well and truly hated me.Krista herself carried anger toward me, yes, but there was restraint to

Krista*But Jacob’s wolf merely turned around and began to move through the trees without waiting for an answer. After a brief hesitation, my wolf followed. But she did not run beside him but behind him, far back enough that if he tried anything, she would have time to react.The realization made something twist inside me. I had known my wolf was angry with Jacob, but I had not realized the depth of it until now. She truly viewed him as an enemy. Not merely as a former mate who had hurt us, but a real danger. A threat.And although I had no love lost for Jacob after everything he had done to me, I did not know if I could call him an enemy.Infuriating? Yes.Selfish? Absolutely.Capable of causing devastating harm without thinking things through? Without question.But enemy? I did not know.My wolf clearly did.Still, I pushed the thought aside as we moved through the forest because another feeling overwhelmed everything else, the feeling of wholeness. I had forgotten what it felt lik

Krista*When I still lived with the pack, he’d had my devotion and my loyalty. My love as well, even when he did not return it. Even when he looked through me and longed for another woman. I had still loved him anyway.Then when I finally left and clawed together some semblance of a new life for myself, he came to Eldeg and dragged me back into the orbit of the Red Moon Pack all over again. Another thing he wanted.And now, he wanted more: my fear, my panic, my submission. He wanted me running through the forest like prey while he chased me for sport. As the realization settled into me, something ugly and furious began rising in my chest.No. I was done letting Jacob have whatever he wanted from me simply because he reached for it. The rage built and built until my vision blurred around the edges. The wolf in front of me remained still, golden eyes fixed on mine as if waiting to see what I would do next.That calmness only infuriated me further. “You think this is funny?” I hissed.J

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

KristaAs I entered the house, the door creaked softly behind me, though the faint murmur of activity throughout the manor drowned out any noise I made. Before I could even take another step, one of the maids rushed toward me, her face flushed with anxiety as she fumbled with a small notepad in her

Krista“And then there’s Liam,” she said, her tone dripping with drama. “I heard he’s been sneaking off to the human town again. You know what that means, don’t you?”I raised an eyebrow, leaning in just enough to show I was invested. “What does it mean?”Greta’s voice dropped even lower. “He’s see
