I almost dropped the will I was so shocked, this had to be a coincidence. There was no way my father would leave me something like this in his will… as if he knew he was going to die. What if his suicide was actually something more gruesome? I couldn’t let myself think such dark thoughts and tried
I pulled out my phone and quickly dialed Lorenzo’s number, turning my body to not provoke any of the Blue Moon guards. Lorenzo picked up after one ring, just like last time. “Eleanor? Are you okay?” Lorenzo seemed genuinely concerned which almost distracted me. He had always been thoughtful. I bli
After sending out word to all of the pack media outlets about choosing his luna, Lorenzo jumped in his car at lightning speed. He needed to get to Eleanor as fast as possible before this media circus blew up in his face. Lorenzo thought about how scared Eleanor sounded over the phone. His wolf had
The Blue Moon alpha was known to be a reclusive, greedy man. Known to have scammed his way into power, I remembered my father always speaking poorly of how he chose to handle pack politics and encounters with the law. He also rarely made public appearances, and when he did, he was notoriously cold a
The night air whipped through the open window of the limousine, mingling with my inner thoughts. The reality of becoming Lorenzo's Luna felt both surreal and daunting. My mind was a labyrinth of emotions, each turn revealing new fears and uncertainties. Leaving Blue Moon... the thought echoed, a rel
As the gates of Black Moon slowly swung open, revealing the grandeur of the estate beyond, I felt a profound sense of displacement. The reality of my new life, of my new role as Lorenzo's Luna, pressed down on me with a weight I hadn't anticipated. The sprawling estate, with its meticulously manicur
“You really know your history,” I commented after he gave me a detailed rundown of why the pack was called Black Moon in the first place and how it began as a rejection of Blue Moon’s tyranny in years past. “What can I say, an alpha needs to know his people. Besides, you know I was always a histor
I woke with a start, my heart racing from the remnants of a dream I could scarcely remember. Scenes flashed in my mind: being chased through my apartment, the Blue Moon alpha taking me away, Lorenzo, eyes glowing and claws fully expanded, coming after me instead of to my rescue. I laid in bed for
A few weeks later...Once Lorenzo was cleared to return home and was feeling like his old self again, he and I were finally able to commit to our bonding ceremony. It was a gorgeous summer day, the back courtyard was swimming with flowers and white ribbons.Of course, due to the sudden delay of the
The hospital, as expected, was crowded with numerous people. Doctors and nurses were whisking around to get to their designated destinations with determined haste. Thankfully, Lorezno was able to get admitted as soon as we arrived.A small medical team rushed to our sides, needing to know what happe
“Lorenzo!” Eleanor cried out with an astonished look on her face.The alpha managed to follow Eleanor’s scent through the building. When he finally broke through the various barriers, he came upon a dingy-looking door. The second he heard her distressed cry, Lorenzo smashed the door off its hinges.
Lorenzo’s patience was already wearing thin from his prior conversation with the Lycan King. Part of him still didn’t want to believe half of the information that he’d been told. But, in truth what would the King have to gain from lying to him now?But now it seemed that the alpha had much more dist
It hadn’t escaped my notice how quickly Lorenzo made his mad dash to the door as soon as that message came in from Adeline. The man hadn’t even given me a legitimate answer as to why he was going to the palace.Yes, he mentioned that he was going to see the Lycan Luna—but for what?Lorenzo knew how
“You said what?!” I shouted frantically.Lorenzo had been gradually pacing the length of the study for the last several minutes. He barely spared me a single glance as he told me of his late-night call with Cruz.In the beginning, I felt rather smug about the fact that Sterling was feeling horribly
Lorenzo knew he should have left the flash drive alone. With the ceremony just two days away, there was no reason why he needed to keep revisiting those damn files. What did he expect to find? What was he hoping to further gain?He wasn’t sure—and that was what was driving him crazy. Curiosity had t
Ever since Cruz spoke with Eleanor in the middle of her dress-fitting, he was feeling rather chipper with himself. He truly believed that he’d gained the upper hand when it came to placing a true divide within Lorenzo and Eleanor’s relationship.Having planted that terrible thought in Eleanor’s head
“But, Lorenzo, hear me out!” I shouted from across the study. “You know it would be a smart choice than to wait any longer.”Lorenzo planted a firm hand on his hip and gave me a stern, disapproving look. “Eleanor, for Christ’s sake, be reasonable. Please.”Ever since he and I discovered the hidden f
