GRAYSON'S POV

The fire was crackling low in the hearth, casting warm golden flickers across the cabin walls. The extra three days I’d managed to steal for us felt like the best decision I’d made in months. Inara had been glowing all evening — laughing, teasing, stealing kisses every chance she got.

We’d spent the day relaxing, talking about nothing and everything, and now the night had settled in quiet and intimate around us.

I was sitting on the edge of the bed in just my loose pants, flippi

  • The Cursed Alpha's Substitute Luna    Go, be amazing

    GRAYSON'S POVThe lakeside felt like our own little world, far away from the council’s demands and Liora’s lies. Inara was still curled in my lap on the smooth rock, her fingers playing lazily with the collar of my shirt as the water lapped gently nearby. I could have stayed here forever, holding my mate, breathing in her scent, letting the fever and frustration melt away under her touch.She shifted suddenly in my arms, turning to face me more fully with a playful glint in her eyes. Her hands pressed against my chest as she “tossed” lightly, pretending to struggle free while laughing. “Grayson… aren’t you supposed to be somewhere important right now? With the pack? Handling all those serious Alpha things instead of hiding here with me by the lake?”I tightened my hold around her waist, not letting her escape even an inch. A deep sigh escaped me as I pressed a soft peck to her lips, lingering just long enough to taste her sweetness. “I’d rather be with you than anywhere else in the w

  • The Cursed Alpha's Substitute Luna    How dare you?

    GRAYSON'S POVThe question landed like a slap across the face. Elder Thorne’s words resounded in the council hall, casual but loaded with implication. Will she be allowed to spend time in your chambers?My blood boiled instantly. The fever that had been simmering all day flared hotter, feeding the rage already churning inside me.I shot to my feet, the chair scraping loudly against the stone floor. “How dare you ask me such a disgusting question?” My voice came out as a low, dangerous growl that made several elders shift uncomfortably.“Liora abandoned this pack. She attacked us. She spread lies about carrying my child. And you have the audacity to suggest I let her anywhere near my private chambers? Near my mate’s home?”Thorne tried to speak, but I cut him off with a sharp gesture. “Never. Not in a thousand years. I will never allow that woman anywhere near my personal life or my Luna. This shelter arrangement is already pushing every limit I have. Do not test me further on this.”T

  • The Cursed Alpha's Substitute Luna    Manipulation at its finest

    GRAYSON'S POVThe morning had slipped away too quickly, wrapped up in soft kisses and quiet laughter with my mate. Inara was still flushed and beautiful, sitting on the edge of our bed as I finished dressing for the day. My fever had eased a little thanks to her care, but the pull to stay with her was stronger than ever. I never wanted to leave this room when she was looking at me like that, like I was her whole world.I crossed the room and pulled her up into my arms one last time, cupping her face gently. "I really have to go now, baby," I murmured against her lips, stealing another slow kiss. She melted into it immediately, her hands fisting in my shirt. I deepened it just enough to leave her breathless, my tongue brushing hers in that way I knew made her knees weak.When I pulled back, her lips were swollen and her eyes were dazed. I grinned, brushing my thumb over her bottom lip. "Look at you... all flushed and pretty because of me. How am I supposed to focus on pack business w

  • The Cursed Alpha's Substitute Luna    Catch ya!

    INARA'S POVMorning light filtered gently through the curtains of our chambers, soft and golden, like the moon goddess herself was giving us a quiet moment of peace. I woke up first again, nestled against Grayson's warm body. He was still sleeping peacefully, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm, one arm draped loosely over my waist even in his dreams. His face looked softer like this, the usual Alpha tension smoothed away, lashes dark against his cheeks, lips slightly parted.I couldn't stop staring at him. My heart swelled with so much love it almost hurt. This was the man who had held me last night, whispering the sweetest things while I cried over Liora's cruel lies. The way he had kissed me, slow, deep, full of promises and adoration, still made my skin tingle just thinking about it. He had called me his peace, his true mate, the one who made him want to be better. My big, grumpy, protective Alpha had been so gentle, so vulnerable with me. It made me feel cherished

  • The Cursed Alpha's Substitute Luna    It hurts sometimes

    GRAYSON'S POVThe walk back from the border felt longer than it should have. My mind kept replaying Liora's words, her hand on her stomach, that calculated look in her eyes. Pregnant with my child? The claim was ridiculous. I knew what had happened that wedding night, or rather, what hadn't. I'd been too broken, too drunk, too lost in the humiliation to even touch her. But the seed of doubt she planted still twisted in my gut like a knife.I called a quick meeting the moment I returned to the pack house. Niel and a handful of my most trusted warriors gathered in the strategy room, maps and reports still scattered from earlier. The fever was making my head throb, but I pushed through it. Inara was waiting, and I needed to handle this before it reached her."It's a lie," I said flatly, slamming my hand on the table. "Liora is claiming she's pregnant with my child from our wedding night. I didn't touch her. I was drunk and devastated after she ran. There was no intimacy. She's desperat

  • The Cursed Alpha's Substitute Luna    Such a liar!

    GRAYSON'S POVThe eastern border clearing felt too quiet. The usual sounds of the forest were muted, like even nature was holding its breath. Liora stood a careful distance away, flanked by only a few of her followers. No visible weapons. No rogues charging forward. She looked... composed. Almost serene. It set every instinct I had on edge.I crossed my arms over my chest, my wolf pacing restlessly inside me. The low fever still burned under my skin, but it was nothing compared to the cold anger settling in my gut. This woman had destroyed our alliance, run off with a rogue, attacked my pack, and hurt innocents. And now she wanted to "talk"?"Speak," I growled, voice low and hard. "You have one minute before I decide your presence here is another act of war."Liora took a small step forward, her hands clasped in front of her like some picture of remorse. "Grayson... Alpha. I know I don't deserve your time after everything that's happened. I was foolish. Angry. I ran because I was sc
