AgnesI woke up with a jolt to the sound of my alarm blaring in my ears. My hand shot out to silence it, and as I did, I felt the weight of the book from the restricted section sliding off my chest and onto the bed. I groaned, rubbing my eyes as the events of the previous night came rushing back.I
AgnesThea glanced back and forth between the two of us, her teddy bear clutched tightly to her chest.“You’re supposed to be in bed, young lady,” I said with an incredulous laugh. Her bedtime was over an hour ago. “And you have school tomorrow.”But to my surprise, Elijah shook his head. “Actually,
However, I shook my head. “I always made the best coffee at the diner. Besides, it’s just coffee.”James stared at me, but didn’t argue further. Truthfully, I just wanted a good excuse to get away from the crowd for a few moments. And it would make a good impression—a calm and selfless Luna preparin
AgnesMy steps came to an abrupt halt the moment Olivia walked into the room.She looked radiant as always, her sleek blonde hair gently tousled from the wind. Her long legs were prominently on display beneath her skirt, and her heels were just ever so slightly too tall, making her stand out amongst
“You’re Agnes, right?”The sound of a soft voice caught my attention, and I turned to see a petite, stunning woman with red hair that trailed all the way down to her hips and a striking set of blue eyes. Thea gasped as soon as she saw her.“Luna Evelyn!” Thea cried out, releasing my hand and rushing
AgnesI hesitated, wondering if I had truly heard someone crying or if it was just my ears playing tricks on me. But when I heard it again, a soft sob coming from the stall at the end of the row, I quietly moved forward and lifted my hand to knock.The stall door swung open before I could knock, and
She snorted. “You’re braver than I am, then. I’m too afraid to go out into the world with no savings and no job opportunities. I need to prepare first.”“Then prepare,” I said, chewing my lower lip. Suddenly, I had an idea. “You know, Olivia was supposed to model the star outfit for the fashion show
AgnesOver the following weeks, every waking moment went into the finishing touches on the fashion show.What had started as a small charity event for single mothers and families had grown into something far bigger than I had ever imagined, all thanks to the support and enthusiasm of the other Lunas
Her eyes narrowed slightly. “No,” she said after a moment. “There is only one fated mate for each person. But…”“But?”She tilted her head, considering for a moment, and then pulled one card from the deck. “I sense something strange about your bond. A tangle somewhere in the invisible red thread tha
ElijahLast night was a mistake.At least, that was what I kept telling myself as I sat in my study, staring blankly at the paperwork spread across my desk. The words blurred together, the numbers meaningless as my mind repeatedly wandered back to Agnes—her scent, her touch, the way she’d felt benea
I watched as she stepped inside, her heels clicking against the hardwood floor. She set the basket on the table, carefully arranging its contents: some pink tulips, chocolates, assorted tea bags, and a stuffed animal.I knew that Thea wouldn’t eat the chocolates with her stomach upset, and she’d bee
AgnesElijah had some matters to attend to at work that day—although I had a sinking feeling that he was just avoiding the awkwardness of what had happened last night, and I couldn’t even blame him—and Thea was still resting in her room with a stomach ache, so I had the house to myself for most of t
Elijah blinked at me in surprise. I expected him to be disappointed, to scold me for taking a book from the restricted section of the library—especially one with such volatile information inside.But instead, a slow smile spread across his face, his eyes lighting up with something that looked almost
AgnesI woke to the sensation of Elijah’s arm around me. For a moment, I forgot where I was, the events of the previous night a hazy blur in my mind. All I felt was cozy familiarity.But then it all came rushing back—the cab, the kiss, the way we’d stumbled into the house, so desperate for each othe
He feasted on me like that, right there on the floor, holding me upright with one arm. I dug my fingers into his scalp, yanking at his hair, which only elicited low, guttural moans from him that rumbled into my pelvis. “Agnes,” he murmured into me, the word sending a shudder of pleasure through my b
AgnesThe cab driver practically dumped us off in front of the estate, hardly giving Elijah time to hand him a wad of cash before he was speeding away. My cheeks were flushed, my skirt rumpled around my thighs and my lipstick smeared.We’d hardly been the pristine picture of an elegant Alpha and Lun
Agnes & ElijahAgnesGertrude’s grin was nothing short of impish as she shoved me and Elijah together. Honestly, I wasn’t even sure if I had ever seen the often meek librarian’s eyes flare with such mischief behind those glasses.My heart pounded as I glanced up at Elijah, his warm body pressed agai
