“I’m telling you, it’s a setup,” Renn growled, pacing the length of the living room rug. He kept glancing toward the stairs where Mia was currently blasting music and Theo was likely Triple-checking his reflection.

“We have an unidentified SUV circling the school and a four-ton beam falling on people at the library. Letting them go to a public carnival is like putting a ‘Free Meal’ sign on their backs.”

Gage looked up from the wooden chair he was repairing, a bored expression on his face. “Ren

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    The Defense

    Liora's POV His gaze left mine, now locking onto the woman's face."What. Evidence. Do you have to prove it?" he repeated, slowing down his speech deliberately in a way that can send chills down your spine. His voice was much colder than before, and he stepped even closer to her. His tall frame cast a long, dark shadow right over the now shivering woman."I… well, my son said…" The woman started to stammer, her face changing from bright red to a pale, nervous white. She tried to find the words to defend herself, but she completely lost them under his heavy look."I am a military officer," the man interrupted, his voice flat and very serious. "And I can get access to the security footage around this road very easily.” He said nodding towards the camera on the opposite side of the road, facing directly on us. The woman followed his gaze and saw the camera, she flinched slightly. “I am going to request that footage right now. But let me warn you. If the cameras show that your child is a

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    Outside the Store

    "Okay, here's our menu for today," Elias said. He stretched his hand over the counter to give the man the menu sheet.I didn't realize my eyes were still locked with the stranger's until he broke the contact to look down. It was just a few seconds, but it felt like a long time. He took two long strides, reached the wooden counter, and took the paper from Elias to have a look.The little girl followed right behind him, looking up with her big eyes. The man knelt down to her level, tucked some hair behind her ear, and gave her a warm smile."So what do you want, Kenzy?" he asked. His gaze was warm as he stared at her, waiting for her answer.She gave an answer that sounded like she had rehearsed it over and over again in her head. "Anything is fine.”I guess I wasn't the only one affected by her dull response, because I saw the man's beautiful eyebrows crutch into a slight frown. "Anything? Since when do you answer me with anything, Kenzy?"The little girl didn't answer. She just looked

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    The Customer

    "You almost hit a child? I hope the child is fine?" Lena asked, her voice shaky. Lena looked so worried. Her eyebrows were crooked, and she was squinting. She always did that whenever she was worried, and Lena was almost always worried about something. In contrast to Thorne was always calm and barely panicked."The girl is fine, Lena, don't panic," I said, setting the boxes of menus down on the side table before pulling on a clean apron. "She didn't get a single scratch. But her attitude was just so strange. She was sitting right in the dirt in the middle of the road, covering a kitten with her whole body. When we offered to drive her home safely, she completely shut down. She looked terrified of us taking her back."Renn nodded from behind me, leaning his shoulder against the kitchen doorframe as he watched us. "Yeah, she wouldn't give us a street name, an address, or anything. She just grabbed her cat, stood up, and walked down the side path by herself."Lena rubbed her temples wi

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    The Near Miss

    "Oh my gosh, you like someone, Renn!" I said, my smile widening. I nudged his shoulder gently, making sure not to distract him from the road. "So tell me, who is it? Someone I know? Or have I met her?"He didn't respond, but his cheeks were getting noticeably warmer. He kept his eyes locked straight ahead, his knuckles turning white on the steering wheel."Wait, is it someone I know? Ooh, someone from the store?" I asked, getting really intrigued. I leaned in closer, excited to guess, but he crushed my excitement the next second."I don't like anyone. I was asking rhetorically," he defended, but he didn't sound convinced at all, not even to himself.I gave him a sharp, disbelieving look. "Really, Renn?""I'm serious, actually…”SCREECH!The loud sound of squeaking tires resounded through the air as Renn slammed his foot onto the brake pedal. The force pushed my head forward violently, leaving just a tiny gap between my forehead and the dashboard."Are you okay?" Renn asked quickly, hi

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    A Personal Question

    Liora's POV "You have to always be ready," Thorne told me as we both walked back inside the house. He was wiping sweat from his neck with a small cloth. His breathing was steady, like he hadn't just been dodging my attacks for the last hour. "No one knows when danger will show up. We all know first hand how desperate the wrong people can get when they want power." He said referring to how Mia got kidnapped the other time."I know, Thorne," I said, unstrapping the thick leather guards from my wrists. My arms were sore, and my hair was sticking to my forehead. "It's just tiring to stay on guard all the time. Sometimes I just want to wake up and not think about who is hunting us. Or after us.""It keeps you alive," he said simply, tossing his cloth into a laundry basket by the door.Behind us, Mia let go of Finn's hand as the little boy immediately ran toward me, his small sneakers squeaking against the wet lawn. "Mum!"I smiled, all the exhaustion melting away as I bent down and picked

    Liora's POV "Really? You have to try harder than that," I said with a laugh, stepping easily to the left.Elias came darting out from my other side. He was using his camouflage trick again, something he loved to pull during our practice fights. He swung his right fist towards my shoulder, but I just dipped my head. His arm passed through empty air, and he stumbled forward a bit.It was a Saturday morning, and we were doing our regular morning training in the backyard. Even though everything had become quiet and simple since we moved to this new place, there was still this unsettling feeling in all of us. We all feared it deep down. We knew it was just a matter of time before Victor or any of our other old enemies would find us. Especially with my seer power, Victor would literally break his neck just to get his hands on me again. We couldn't afford to get all relaxed, not until we at least became stronger."Oh, you wouldn't dare!" I yelled, twisting my body around quickly.Marcus cam

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    Back Home

    Liora's POV We finally drove into the driveway of our new house. The car was riding a bit slow now because we had so many heavy groceries in the back. As soon as I turned off the engine, Elias walked out of the front door. He was wiping his hands on a clean white towel. He had finally managed to

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    Confrontation

    Liora's POV "Is that how blind you all are, or do you just choose to be?!" She continued.She looked around at the onlookers, and several of them shifted uncomfortably."How can you easily judge people without finding out the whole truth?" she asked loudly. "Just because these people seem new, or

    Liora's POV "Mia, bring in the rest of those plants from the car!" I yelled over my shoulder, wiping a smudge of dirt off my cheek with the back of my hand."On it!" Mia called back from the front doors.A second later, she walked back into the building, balancing three small potted ferns in her a

    Jax walked at a steady pace, holding the heavy roll of maps tightly under his arm. He was feeling pretty good after his long talk with Ronan on the balcony. It had been nice to just relax and talk like normal friends for once, especially after all the stress from the recent raids.As he walked down
