Liora's POV

The clear ring of the front doorbell sounded through the room. Before the noise could even fade, the swinging kitchen door flew open.

"Silas is here!" Mia shouted, her voice full of pure excitement. She had seen him come in through the little window facing the dining area, also facing the front door.

She dropped the half-cut carrots she was holding straight onto the table. Without even closing the kitchen door behind her, she ran out of the kitchen to go meet him. I shook my head w

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    Welcome Back

    Liora's POV The clear ring of the front doorbell sounded through the room. Before the noise could even fade, the swinging kitchen door flew open."Silas is here!" Mia shouted, her voice full of pure excitement. She had seen him come in through the little window facing the dining area, also facing the front door.She dropped the half-cut carrots she was holding straight onto the table. Without even closing the kitchen door behind her, she ran out of the kitchen to go meet him. I shook my head with a small smile and followed after her, wiping my hands on a clean towel.Silas had left about three weeks ago to go to his hometown. He was never the type to talk about his feelings or even show it, but before he left, he looked lost most of the time. Though he always tried to not show it, but I saw through him. He had told us he just needed some quiet time to detox and find some peace in his mind. He wanted to come to a peace in his mind that his little sister, Susan, who he knew was no more

  • 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

    "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

    "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

    "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

    The air in the Grand Hall of the Voss Palace was thick with the scent of expensive perfume, aged brandy, and the sharp, metallic tang of repressed aggression. The Voss pack was holding the “Treaty Ball” and they were the host of this year's celebration. The “Treaty Ball” was a Unity Ball which occu

    The drive home from the school was quiet, but it wasn't the peaceful kind. Theo stared out the side window, his reflection in the glass was looking small and defeated. Mia sat in the back, her eyes darting between the back of Theo’s head and the road.I gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles
