Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 510: Ashamed
Olivia “Hello?” I picked up the phone, wondering if it was another collect call from the prison—yet another call on the landline phone, a rare occurrence. But this time, the voice that echoed through the other end somehow made even more color drain from my face than it had with Jenifer. “Olivia.” Nathan’s voice crackled through the phone, tired and haggard. “What the fuck do you want?” I hissed, already poised to hang up. “Olivia,” he pleaded frantically, as though sensing that the call was about to end, “please, let’s just talk—” “No.” I swallowed hard and grit my teeth against the wave of anger that was threatening to take over me. “I don’t want to talk to a cheater,” I finally managed, my voice coming out stronger than I really felt. Nathan drew in a sharp breath. “If you’d just listen, I can explain—” “There’s nothing to explain.” Before Nathan could say anything else, I quickly hung up the phone. It was only then, as I slammed the phone back on the receiver, that

OliviaI flipped to the next page of the book, muttering to myself as my finger traced the words in front of me.“Interesting,” I muttered as I read.“Interesting, indeed,” my wolf chimed in.

OliviaI took a deep breath to steel myself before I stepped into the quiet cafe. It was still fairly early in the morning, and the sun had just begun to warm the terracotta tiles of the small space. I looked around for Clarissa, but she hadn’t arrived yet, so I ordered a coffee and took a seat by the window while I waited for her.As I waited, I nervously smoothed down my dress and sat up a little straighter.

OliviaI kept my arms folded firmly across my chest as Nathan walked past me, a cardboard box in his hands.“That’s everything, I think,” he said softly, turning to face me. “Listen, Liv, I…”“I told you not to call me that anymore.”
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 514: The Archivist
OliviaThe small, hunched-over old man in front of me sat rifling through a box of files, muttering to himself as he searched.“Hmm… No… Not that one… Hand me that box over there, will you?”Turning, I grabbed the box of files that he was pointing at off of a nearby shelf and handed it
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 515: Another
NathanThe sound of my alarm jolted me out of a surprisingly deep sleep—the first deep sleep I had had in weeks, actually. But what should have been a relief actually turned out to be my downfall.“Ugh,” I muttered as I sat up, rubbing my sore back. There was nothing quite like a heavy sleep on a shitty mattress to remind you that the place you were sleeping wasn’t home.
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 516: Into the Woods
OliviaI stood over my dining room table, taking mental notes of everything that I had laying in front of me: water, a flashlight, a swiss army knife, flares, and most importantly, the map that Mingan drew for me.Everything was set to go and find Freya. With the twins with Clint in his cottage for the day, I was confident that today, I would finally find Freya and talk some sense into her. We were family, after all; surely she would listen to me.
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 517: Primal Instincts
OliviaThe dark shadow of the wolf standing in the entryway to the cave was almost enough to block out the light. Its eyes, glowing yellow through the mist, were fixed unwaveringly on us. Its teeth were bared, its upper lip pulled back to reveal a row of yellowed fangs.“Freya,” I whispered. “Freya, is that you?”

OliviaI gripped the edges of the podium, my knuckles whitening from the strain as I stared out over the sea of faces. All eyes were trained squarely on me, awaiting my words. But I was frozen.A tremor of nausea wormed its way up my throat as I stared out at them. What was I thinking—how could I have ever agreed to this? Speaking to crowds had never been my forte; that was Nathan’s arena, not mine. I was just the woman behind the scenes, the young mom who had never gone to college, the one who had been handed her job by her husband…Suddenly, a flicker of motion off to the side caught my eye—Nathan, standing just at the edge of the stage with his arms folded across his chest. Even from this distance, I could feel the weight of his steady gaze, that piercing Alpha stare that always seemed to see straight into the depths of my soul.He must have sensed my faltering because, slowly, deliberately, he offered me the faintest of smiles and a single, reassuring nod.And just like that, the
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 567: True Luna
Olivia I looped my arm through Nathan’s as we stepped down from the podium, the applause from the crowd and the flashing of cameras having finally subsided after what felt like an eternity. “It’s over,” Nathan beamed, giving my arm a squeeze. “That wasn’t so bad.” I couldn’t help but grin back at him. “No, it wasn’t. You were great up there.” And he really had been great; the press conference had been an overwhelming success—any lingering doubts or trepidation we had harbored before had been utterly blown away by the sheer force of the crowd’s enthusiastic response. For so long, it had felt like we were fighting this battle alone, like the victims who had suffered under Dan’s horrific operation were little more than nameless, faceless casualties. But today, we had finally given them a voice. Their stories had reached the masses, had resonated and struck a chord with everyone who watched. Nathan had handled all of the questions that were thrown his way with poise and ease
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 566: Vignettes
OliviaI rapped my knuckles lightly on the door to Nathan’s office. A moment later, his voice called out, “Come in.”Stepping into the room, I placed my hands on my hips upon seeing the scene in front of me: Nathan was standing in front of the mirror, his shirt still untucked and his tie loosened. His desk was a mess of papers and folders, and it was clear that he had been checking over his notes last-minute before the press conference.

OliviaI wiped a bead of sweat from my brow, slowly turning to survey the progress that had been made in the park. The banners we had hung were a bold purple color, signifying our support of the women who had been affected by the trafficking ring.I couldn’t help but smile a bit as I looked at our progress. With the press conference today, followed by a festival to help raise funds for the shelter we were building, the park was bustling with activity as our pack members worked hard
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 564: One Step
NathanI leaned back in my chair with a weary sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose in a futile attempt to stave off the encroaching headache. Spread out on my desk was an array of file folders, legal pads scrawled with notes, and printed transcripts—a minefield of information that would need to be carefully navigated on the day of the upcoming press conference.It had been two weeks since Dan and Montgomery’s bodies were found in the confinement pit, and it had been a dizzyin

OliviaMy hands shook uncontrollably as I stepped up to the edge of the pit, clutching the metal grating until my knuckles turned white. A thick, cloying stench wafted up from the darkness below—the unmistakable reek of death and decay.Despite the waves of nausea already roiling in my gut, I leaned forward for a closer look.

OliviaThe air coming through the open windows smelled like the fresh sea breeze as we made our way from room to room, touring every nook and cranny of the newly completed cottage. It was perfect—cozy and quaint, while still boasting all the modern amenities one could want. But more than that, it was a sanctuary, a haven.A fresh start.
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 561: Spring Air
OliviaThe sound of power tools outside streamed in through the window while I folded the laundry, a distant backdrop to my swirling thoughts. I had grown used to the sound, and actually kind of enjoyed it. It was a reminder that life went on, that our family was growing.It had been a couple of weeks since I had made the decision to take a temporary leave from work in order to really focus on my family—on rebuilding that long-severed bond with my mother—and I was glad I did.
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 560: Rage
NathanI couldn’t stop the rage from simmering just beneath the surface as I made my way through the darkened forest toward the confinement pit. No one knew I was here—I was coming under the cover of night, my hair and face concealed by a hood.But I had to come. I couldn’t stop thinking about Dan and Montgomery, and I needed to see them.
