LanaBefore night even had the chance to settle properly, I was already standing in front of the mirror, trying to make myself look perfect for tonight.I dragged the lipstick carefully across my bottom lip, then pressed both lips together.My hair had taken forever but I made it work.Sapphire was beautiful.The dress hugged her body perfectly, soft and elegant in a way that made her look every bit like a Luna should.I looked… good.Maybe too good for the kind of night I felt was coming.I stared at my reflection for one more second, then adjusted one of the tiny strands of hair near my ear.A knock came at the door.“Come in.”One of the maids stepped inside with both hands holding a sealed letter.My brows pulled together. “What’s that?”She opened her mouth to answer, but I had already seen it's crest.It was Silvercrest'sI walked toward her and took the letter from her hand, my thumb brushing over the familiar sigil.“Silvercrest sent this?”“Yes, Luna. They’ve been sending inv

LanaI wanted to say something. Anything.Stop! Wait! She’s lying. It wasn’t Sloan.But the words never made it past my throat.I just stood there as the guards dragged the maid away like she weighed nothing. Her feet scraped against the ground while her voice cracked from all the crying she had been doing. She kept apologizing over and over as tears ruining her face.“I’m sorry! I’m sorry, please—I’m sorry!”She apologized again and again but why? Why was she apologizing?I couldn’t help but ask.Not once did she say Amethyst’s name.That was odd.My eyes followed Sloan until she disappeared beyond the bright edge of the courtyard, still crying because of someone who'd lose no sleep for her.What kind of loyalty was that?No. It probably wasn't loyalty. It was fear, rather.Beside me, the full moon ceremony carried on like the kingdom hadn’t just swallowed a lie camouflaged as justice.As the moon rose higher and brighter, wolves began shifting.Their bones cracked as their stretche

LanaMy voice had came out harsher than I intended, tearing cleanly through the quiet state of willow hollow.Diana, at first staring at me, her expression changed so fast it almost would’ve fooled me if I didn’t already know better.Her eyes widened, lips parted. Her hand even lifted to her chest like I had just slapped her across the face.“What?” she gasped softly. “Sapphire… what are you talking about? Are you sure you're alright? Do you need the pack doctor to check you up?”I almost laughed at that because wow, she was good.If I hadn’t overheard those servants. If I hadn’t found out Elder Edward was her father and if I hadn’t been watching her since the second she stepped into the Estate with that too sweet smile and those too familiar hands around Ashton’s space, I might’ve believed her.Hell, I might’ve doubted myself.That was how smooth she was but I knew better, didn't I?“Don’t do that!” I snapped again.She blinked. “Do what?”“That.” I stepped closer. “That innocent lit

Chapter 64LanaWorst full moon celebration ever.That was the only thing in my head as I stood there under the moon with a goblet in my hand that I hadn’t even touched yet.Music rock Silvercrest but all I could hear was Diana’s voice."Ashton already knows I’ve loved him."What she had said earlier kept playing in my head like some cursed thing I couldn’t shut off.I should’ve stayed in the willow hollow after she left and just screamed into the damn trees.Instead, I had came back out here into the celebration. Except it didn't feel like a celebration anymore because on one side of the field were wolves from Silvercrest. The same ones who had once looked at me like I was nothing when I was still Lana Steele.On the other side was an unhinged sociopath who wants what she could never have and on another side were Diego and Amethyst.I caught sight of them once across the crowd, saying something to each other before Amethyst threw her head back and laughed.My fingers tightened so har

Lana“What?!”The word just stormed out of my mouth so loudly that the beta maid in front of me nearly dropped the tray she was carrying.I stared down at what she was possessed in her grasp. It was a tray containing a bowl of flour and eggs stacked carefully in a smaller basket.That wasn't even all. Therr were sticks of butter, sugar, vanilla flavours, milk, and some ridiculous amount of berries.“For what?” I asked again.The maid glanced around awkwardly before answering. “For Lady Diana’s birthday, Luna.”“You’re joking.”“N-No, Luna. Today truly is Lady Diana's birthday and the entire Estate is preparing for her party at sunset”I stared blankly for a few more seconds before stepping aside so she could pass.Long after the maid eas gone, I stayed rooted in the flight of stairs, processing everything.Today was Diana's birthday? How freaking convenient was that!Just a few days ago during tthe full moon celebration, she had openly but admitted that she wanted to tear my life apart

Chapter 66 LnaaI was just about to step into the room fully when Ashton suddenly turned around. He felt my presence from where I stood or maybe Diana stared at me too long and he noticed it.Either way, his eyes found mine. As always.He stared at me from across the ballroom and a soft little smile appeared on his face.I glanced down for half a second using my fingers to brush down the front of my dress without even thinking. It felt smooth. I , then looked back up—I gasped.He was right here in front of me.One second he was standing next to Diana. Next second, he was here. Close enough that I could smell him. “You should stop doing that. It's terrifying.”His mouth twitched like he was trying not to laugh while his eyes stayed on me a bit longer. Just looking at him made everything else around me go blurry for a second.“You look beautiful.” he said.My throat got dry all of a sudden.“Oh.” That was literally all I could get out.His gaze dropped down to my dress and a small amu

Lana“Why don’t you see it?”The words just ripped out before I could stop them or make them sound any calmer. My throat were already burned from holding everything in all night, so they came out all rough and cracked.Ashton stood there in the dim corridor, not saying a damn thing. Just quiet.I swallowed hard and asked again, softer this time but still sharp as hell. “Why don’t you see what she’s doing?”Finally he spoke. “What are you talking about, Lana?”A dry laugh came out of me but there was zero humor in it at all.What was I talking about? Was he serious?I stared right at him, fingers digging into my palms so hard my nails cut in.“Diana. I’m talking about Diana. She’s been all over you since the day she showed up. Following you around, touching you every chance she gets, standing way too close and talking like she already belongs right there next to you...” My breath hitched but I kept going anyway. “Why can’t you see she obviously wants you?!”Right after the words left my

LanaUnstable.That word did not just hit me. It ripped it's way right through me.My eyes stayed locked on Ashton’s face, but everything inside me was shaking so badly it felt like my bones had gone loose under my skin.Unstable?Was that what he thought of me?Was that what he had reduced me to after everything?I tried to speak, gods, I tried.My throat strained but not so much as a squeal could come out.Ashton saw it my internal struggle and his expression changed just a little into something of regret.Too late for that now!“I’m sorry,” he whispered under his breath.Sorry?My fingers twitched uselessly at my sides.Sorry?He had me trapped in my own body and he was saying sorry like that fixed shit.His voice dropped lower.“Forgive me for this ”A tear slipped down before I could stop it.Humiliating.I hated that he saw it.I hated that he was the reason for it.He took one slow breath, then said, “I’m doing this because I care for you.”I stared at him.No no, don’t do that

AshtonI stood at the doorway a bit longer just watching her lay still beneath the covers, her breathing slow and even, her lashes resting against her cheeks like none of tonight had happened.The way she had looked at me with that expression right before the sleep took her wasn't something I enjoyed very much.I wanted to go closer again. Instead, I looked away first.Cowardly, maybe.Necessary, definitely.I turned and walked to the door, then paused with my hand on the handle. One last glance.She still hadn’t moved.Good. That meant my influence had settled properly.I stepped out and shut the door quietly behind me.Two guards were already standing outside with their backs straight and heads lowered.“Stay here,” I ordered. “No one goes in. No one. Am I clear?"“Yes, Your Majesty.”I held their gaze a second longer just to make sure they understood I meant exactly what I said, so excuses later on will be void. Then I walked off down the corridor.Thinking back to what I had to do

AshtonThe door opened almost immediately, Diana stepped in.For a brief second, the room looked less miserable.She still had on that red dress from earlier, though she had taken off the heavier jewelry. She looked… easier like this. Less curated.A sight for sore eyes, one might say.Unfortunately, I had other problems.Before she had even crossed fully into the room, I had already swept the last of the Silvercrest reports into the locked lower drawer of my desk. The papers disappeared beneath wood and keys with all the dignity they did NOT deserve.No one needed to know I was investigating Diego.“Am I interrupting something?” she inquired, her voice light.“Yes,” I said.She blinked at first then chuckled softly.I allowed myself the faintest curve of amusement before motioning toward the chair across from me. “Take a seat, since you’re determined to do so anyway.”She smiled and crossed the room, settling elegantly into the seat.“Is everything alright?”“Yes.”“That answer was s
