Jack's POV

I sat on the edge of the bed, watching Kate from a distance as she brushed her hair. She had this soft glow about her lately— I guessed that it was the pregnancy that was doing that.

Her usually flat belly had grown more round, and soft, and with it came the tiny signs of a life I not should have been more excited about.

But this was the problem, I was not, and I wasn't sure why.

This was what I’d always wanted, wasn’t it? A family, a child to continue my family's legacy. Yet n

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Ivonne's clever plans back fire

    Ivonne's povI kept my glare fixed on Lincoln, my teeth grinding slightly as I struggled to breathe evenly.That necklace... my mother’s necklace... was more than just jewelry. It was memory, legacy, every ounce of love and care my father had put into protecting my mother’s memory. And here was this tramp Alison, wearing it like some trophy, with Lincoln silently letting it happen.“I can’t fuckng believe this,” I sneered at him. “Lincoln… did you actually give her that?”Lincoln sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “No. I didn’t give it to her.”My eyes narrowed. “Then what? Did you… allow it? Permit it?”Alison smirked, stepping closer, and with all the grace of someone deliberately testing me, she said, “Nope. Lincoln didn’t give it to me. He just said I could take anything I wanted, and I wanted this. So, here we are.”My chest tightened so fast I almost couldn’t speak. “You—remove it. Now.”Alison laughed, a sharp, brittle sound that grated on my nerves. “Or what?”“Or I remov

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Lincoln's hate

    Ivonne's POV I stare at Lincoln like he has just spoken in another language. My ears ring and my chest feels hollow.Because Did he just say I had an affair? Did he just really say I got pregnant by another man?And then.... Did he just accuse me of doing something so foul as secretly killing the child and hiding it? “You… you think I cheated on you Lincoln?” I whisper. His jaw tightens. “Stop fucking pretending,” he snarls. “You know I know the truth now.” My knees wobble and I grab the edge of his desk to steady myself. “I have only ever been pregnant once,” I say slowly. “Once, Lincoln.” My throat burns. “So are you saying… that pregnancy belonged to someone else?” His eyes flash with fury. “Thats exactly what I'm saying, stop playing dumb.” “I’m not playing anything,” I say. “I’m trying to understand what kind of nightmare you’ve been living in for years without telling me.” He laughs bitterly. “You secretly had an affair behind my back, Ivonne. Don’t insult me by a

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Lincoln against Ivonne

    Ivonne's povI don’t say anything at first and Neither does Lincoln.He’s frozen behind his desk, one hand still hovering near the screen he definitely did not turn off fast enough.The image is burned into my brain anyway. Lincoln's hands on my waist.My head tilted back in laughter from the soft kiss he pressed to my temple.It was our wedding and I had thought that it was the hapiest day of my life.My chest tightens at the memory and Lincoln clears his throat.“Well,” he says stiffly, reaching for a random folder, “this is unexpected.”I blink.Is he… really going to pretend that didn’t just happen?I almost laugh. Almost.Instead, I cross my arms and open my mouth to ask why he would even bother watching it.Why he still cares. Why he’s torturing himself. Why he’s torturing me.But I stop myself.Beause No. I don’t care. I refuse to care about his foolishness that doesnt concern meHe straightens in his chair, mask sliding back into place.“So,” he says coolly. “What are you doin

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Back to the Manor

    Author's note: Apologies for the repeated chapters, it uploaded twice due to bad network.Ivonne's povAfter the new concubines leave, Elara grabs my arm before I can even take three steps.“Ivonne.”Her voice is low. Tight as I turn to her.She pulls me a few feet away from everyone, eyes blazing.“Tell me what the hell you’re doing.”I blink.“Which part?”“Don’t play dumb.” She gestures vaguely in the direction the concubines disappeared. “You just accommodated the concubines. With scripts. Like they’re… friends. Or partners. Or—”“Actors.”She stares at me. “…What?”I smile slowly.“We need actors.”Her mouth opens, Closes then Opens again.“You want to use Hector’s potential concubines… as actors… in a political corporate play… in front of the entire world?”“When you say it like that, it sounds genius.”Elara looks horrified. “Ivonne, I genuinely think you’re losing your mind. Whatever you're planning, its going to fail.”I laugh.“Failure isn’t missing opportunities,” I say lig

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Ivonne's scheme

    Ivonne's povI wake up slowly.Not the jarring, heart-racing kind of waking.Just… drifting, Floating back into my body.The first thing I notice is warmth. Hector’s arm is heavy around my waist, his face buried against my shoulder, his breath steady and warm. For a few blissful seconds, I forget everything.The court. The challenge. Justin. The attack.But Then the dream slips back into my mind and i see my face with Silver eyes.Find the truth. Let everyone know.... those were her words.My stomach tightens because What did it mean?Was it about my mother? About Hector? About me?Or was my mind just torturing me because I barely slept?I sigh softly and Hector shifts.“Mmm…” he murmurs. “Why are you awake?”I turn my head and smile at him.“Why are you?”“Because you moved.”“Dont blame me, That’s not fair.”He cracks one eye open.“Life isn’t fair.”I snort.For a moment, neither of us says anything.We just lie there, in the Warm th and Safety of each other, not yet willing to fa

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    What truth?

    Ivonne's POV should be sleeping. Any sane person would be sleeping. But instead, I’m sitting on the edge of the bed, wrapped in Hector’s oversized shirt, staring at the door like it personally owes me an explanation. The candles on the side table have burned halfway down. The palace is quiet in that eerie midnight way where even the guards seem to move softer. He’s late. Again. I tell myself not to panic. He’s the Alpha. He’s guarding a vulnerable realm. Of course he’s late. Still… I keep checking the door. Still… my chest feels tight. I hug my knees. “So much for acting Alpha,” I mutter. “Can’t even act normal enough to sleep.” I glance at the clock. Midnight. Great. I exhale slowly, debating whether to lie down when footsteps echo faintly in the hallway. My head snaps up. Keys shift. The door opens. Hector steps inside. He looks exhausted. Not the normal “long day” tired. The deep, bone-weary kind. His shoulders sag. His hair is slightly damp with sweat.
