Tamara’s POV

For a long moment, I couldn’t speak. My throat tightened with unshed tears, and the depth of Dante’s guilt washed over me, mingling with the love he had carried for years. It was overwhelming—almost too much to bear.

“Dante,” I finally whispered, my voice trembling as I reached for his hand. He flinched at first, like he thought I might pull away, but I held on tightly.

“It’s not your fault,” I said, my voice firm despite the lump in my throat. “You can’t blame yourself for what happened. Jack is the one who manipulated and hurt me—not you. You tried to protect me.”

His jaw tensed as he avoided my gaze. “I didn’t protect you. I failed you, Tamara. I—”

“No,” I cut him off, shifting closer to him on the picnic mat. My fingers cupped his cheek, forcing him to look at me. His beautiful, stormy eyes were filled with anguish, but beneath it all, I saw love. “You didn’t fail me, Dante. The goddess gave me a second chance—us a second chance. That’s what matters now.

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance     A Luna's duty

    Ivonne's POV I woke up deliciously warm today.And it was Not the vague, fleeting warmth of blankets or sunlight—but the solid, steady kind that came from being held by someone. An arm was wrapped around my waist, firm and possessive in a way that didn’t feel suffocating at all. My back was pressed to a broad chest, and for a second, before my mind fully caught up, I just lay there and breathed.Then it hit me.All the things Hector had said to me yesterday.The kiss or kisses we shared. The confessions. The way he’d looked at me like he’d finally stopped holding himself back.Hector and I were officially together nowMy heart did a small, foolish flip.I shifted slightly, careful not to wake him, and felt his grip tighten automatically, like his body had decided I belonged right there even while he slept. It made my lips curve into a soft, stunned smile.I was still shocked.But happy.Dangerously happy.I tilted my head just enough to look at him. Even asleep, Hector looked intens

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Kissing Hector

    Ivonne's POV I was still lost in the kiss when his hands began to move over my body in the most delicious way.He wasnt pushy or inappropriate, his touches were warm, grounding, trailing down my arms, my waist and pulling me closer like he was afraid I’d disappear if he loosened his hold. It made my head spin anyway.I kissed him back without thinking, fervent and clumsy and honest. Everything I’d been holding in spilled out through that kiss— all my fear, relief, longing, disbelief poured through the kiss.His breath hitched, and that tiny sound alone made my knees weak.We stumbled, half-laughing, half-breathless, until the back of my legs hit the bed. I didn’t even remember sitting down. One second I was standing, the next I was sinking into soft sheets with him hovering over me, his forehead resting against mine.I suddenly remembered how nice kissing was.No—how delicious it was.I hadnt even realized i had forgotten the feeling. I had forgotten How it made the world quiet. How

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Ivonnes declaration

    Ivonnes povI sat on the edge of the bed, hands clenched in my lap, staring at the floor like it might give me answers if I looked hard enough.Meanwhile, Hector kept silently pacing. Back and forth. Back and forth.The room felt too small for his long strides, too tight for the weight pressing on my chest. Every time he passed me, I felt the rush of air, the tension rolling off him in waves. He looked like a man trying to outrun his own thoughts—and failing.“Hector,” I said softly.He didn’t stop.“Hector please talk to me,” I repeated, louder this time.He paused near the window, his back to me, shoulders stiff.“You have to tell me Why.” I asked, my voice breaking despite my effort to stay calm. “Tell me Why you suddenly want to end the engagement you kept pushing for.”He stayed quiet for a long moment. Then he turned, his expression grim, eyes dark with something that looked dangerously close to guilt.“Alright, Lets say tonight you got lucky, but Lucky or not,” he said slowly,

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Are you kidding me

    Ivonnes povI opened my mouth to answer him—and nothing came out.Hector was still looking at me with that same incredulous expression, like he was trying to solve a puzzle that refused to make sense but I couldn't blame him because I felt it too.I felt that hollow confusion sitting heavy in my chest. I genuinely didn’t know how I had done it. I didn’t know how I’d fought off two Lycans for that long, how my body had moved faster than my thoughts, how panic had somehow turned into strength.“I don’t know,” I finally admitted, my voice small. “I swear. I don’t know how I did it. Maybe I was just lucky? or maybe the goddess just granted me favor." I smiled a little uneasily."Luck?" Hector whispered then studied my face for a long moment, searching for something— maybe fear, deceit, answers I didn’t have. Then, slowly, his shoulders loosened And he shook his head.“Whatever, We’ll figure it out later,” he said at last, brushing it aside with effort. “Right now, that’s not what matters.

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Impossible escape

    Ivonne's povI didn’t even get a chance to scream before I was attacked.A rough hand clamped over my mouth from behind, cutting off the gasp before it could escape, and I was yanked backward so hard my feet nearly left the ground.My heart slammed against my ribs.No. No no no— Not again!I thrashed instantly, nails digging into skin, heels scraping uselessly against the gravel path as whoever it was dragged me away from the glow of the manor lights. They were terrifyingly strong. Stronger than any person I’d ever struggled against, Especially stronger than the people who attacked me last time.Every step I fought for, they took two without effort, pulling me farther and farther from the safety of the manor.Panic exploded in my chest.I twisted, elbowing backward, stomping down as hard as I could but The grip didn’t loosen. If anything, it tightened, the arm around my torso locking around me like iron.Oh Goddess! What was I supposed to do? How was I supposed to get out of this?!Th

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Almost dinner

    Ivonne's povI kept my eyes on the window as Justin’s car rolled smoothly down the road, the city lights blurring into long streaks of gold and white. The glass was cool against my temple, and for a moment, I pretended I was alone in the car, that the heavy conversation from earlier hadn’t happened at all.The silence stretched peacefully.Then Justin cleared his throat. “Ivonne… I want to say it again. I’m sorry. What I said back there—about Hector, about your choices—it wasn’t my place.”I exhaled slowly, my breath fogging the glass for a second before fading. “I know,” I said quietly. “And… I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have snapped at you like that.”He glanced at me briefly before returning his eyes to the road. “It’s a touchy topic,” he said, almost gently. “I get that.”“It really is,” I admitted. “You hit a nerve. A very painful one.”He nodded, fingers tightening slightly on the steering wheel. “I figured as much.”We fell quiet again, but this time the silence wasn’t sharp. It
