An Inevitable Pain

Eve’s POVThe next morning, Stefan drove me to Broken Moon Kingdom. The way I felt as we drove through the kingdom today was completely in contrast with the way I felt the first time I set foot here just a week ago. The first time, I was excited and completely in awe. This time, I found myself feeling a little anger and irritation towards this place. These people who cared only about themselves and viewed others as abominations. Once we arrived at the castle, we were greeted by the guards who led us to the grand hall, where Queen Morwenna seated on her throne. Stefan stepped in first and Queen Morwenna’s gaze fixed to him, regal and chilled as always. As I stepped into the room after Stefan, her eyes shifted to me and her expression faltered. For a brief second, I saw something I had never seen in her before. Weakness. Vulnerability. Her cold exterior cracked, just a little. “Lycan Stefan.” She rose up from her throne and bowed her head before him briefly. “To what do I owe this un

The Good-Bad Boy

Jade’s POVAs I helped the maids bake some cakes and sweet treats in the kitchen, I watched Jameson measure out a scoop of flour with a level of concentration that was downright adorable. “You’re doing amazing, Jameson. Here’s your little reward for your hard work.” I grinned as I reached over and swiped a little flour onto my finger and booped his nose with it, leaving a white spot on the top.“Aunt Jade!” he gasped as laughed, rubbing his nose with the back of his hand but only managing to smear the flour across his cheek instead. I snorted, and the maids around us started chuckling, shaking their heads.“Eve.” A familiar voice called my attention and I turned around to see Apollo by the doorway. He was leaning against the doorframe with a smile playing on his lips. “Got a moment?” “Yeah…yeah. Uhm… sure.” I stuttered and quickly wiped my face that had some stains of flour before looking down at his disappointed face. “I’ll be right back, sweetie. Be a good boy and don’t bother t

The Last Straw Broke the Camel’s Back

Jade’s POVWhen I left Apollo’s room, I couldn’t keep the grin off my face. I felt light, like I was floating down the hallway instead of walking and my cheeks were warm from blushing. I could still feel the ghost of his touch, and I was still in shock by the fact that he, of all people, had never been with a woman before and that I was his first.I was the first woman he had ever made love to. I felt like doing a happy dance. It was so crazy to see his vulnerability and that underneath his whole confident, rebellious exterior was a shy, sweet guy who was unsure but trusting me enough to let me guide him.Wait till Eve hears about this. She wouldn’t believe it. As I reached the kitchen, humming a tune under my breath, I frowned at the absence of Jameson. Where did he go? He had been here before I left with Apollo. My eyes scanned the entire kitchen for a sign of his small frame but he was nowhere in sight. Only the maids were here, cleaning up and finishing their tasks.“Where’s Ja

With Love, From Karma

Jade’s POVWhen we reached Emilia’s room, Luna Jessica didn’t even knock. She threw the doors open, and we stormed in with the servant following meekly behind us.Before us, Emilia was stretched out in a pink, plush chair, her bare feet soaking in a foot bath. A maid was kneeling beside her and carefully applying polish to her toenails. She seemed to be enjoying herself as she sipped delicately from her glass of wine, her head tilted back in relaxation.The anger in me heightened. The audacity of this bitch to be enjoying herself as what she had heartless to a child!Emilia lifted her gaze to see us and met with me and Luna Jessica’s cold glares. My stomach twisted in irritation as she pasted a sweet smile on her face. It was a smooth veneer that would have fooled anyone who didn’t know what lay beneath. “Luma Jessica. I wasn’t expecting you. And who are those… commoners that just came in with you?”Luna Jessica did not say a word yet and instead, she stepped aside to signal for the

Not a Coincidence?

Stefan’s POVThe waiting room was painfully silent except for the sound of Eve’s sobs, each one a small, jagged sound that shattered the stillness. I held her close to me, my arms wrapped around her. My heart broke seeing her this way and imagining the kind of pain that Jameson would be experiencing right now.I wished I could go in there and hug him too. To ease away all of his pains. But I couldn’t. I could feel Eve’s fears as she sobbed in my arms. I felt helpless, wishing I could do something to stop both of their pains. But there was nothing I could do except to stay beside her and be strong for her. “Eve.” I murmured, stroking her hair in what I hoped was a comforting way, even though I was not sure it was working. “Jameson might be a little boy but he is one hell of a strong kid. He is going to make it and the doctors are going to help him make sure of that.” Eve looked up at me, her eyes red-rimmed and desperate. She had been crying ceaselessly ever since we got here almos

The Rejection

Eve’s POVJameson recovered quicker than I thought he would and a few days later, we returned to the packhouse. Once we alighted from Stefan’s car, I noticed the group waiting outside. Luna, Jade and Apollo were in front of the group and as soon as Jameson’s feet touched the ground, his face broke into a grin and he scrambled, practically catapulting himself toward Jade.“Aunt Jade!”“Jameson!” She squealed and rushed forward. She wrapped him in a hug that was so tight, it almost looked like she might squeeze the breath right out of him.“How’re you feeling, sweetie?” She asked him and he raised his shoulder in a bit of boyish pride. “I feel better. See? I’m strong. Nothing can take me down.”Jade laughed and I smiled, shaking my head as I got out of the car. My gaze met with Luna Jessica’s and I saw how her eyes softened with relief. Jade’s arms loosened around Jameson, and she walked up to me, her eyes now turning teary and carrying guilt. “I’m so sorry, Eve.” She wrapped her ar

A Family Reunion

Eve’s POVThat night, I had the most peaceful night sleep with my arms wrapped tightly around Jameson who slept peacefully in my arms. His gentle breaths gave me a kind of peace I could never get elsewhere. The next morning, I was awakened by the golden morning light that filtered through the curtains. As my eyes fluttered open, I reached out to space beside me, expecting to find Jameson curled up in a little ball like he sometimes did, with Jade keeping watch nearby. But the room was quiet, too quiet, and Jameson was nowhere in sight. A twinge of panic shot through me and I immediately swung my legs out of bed. The silence felt unnaturally thick and I pulled on a robe over my silky night dress. My heart pounded a little faster. “Jameson.” I checked the bathroom but he was not there. “Jade?” I proceeded to check Jade’s en-suite bedroom but she wasn’t there either. All that greeted me was total silence and somehow, it scared the shit out of me.Not again. I slipped into the hallw

The Moonbeams

Eve’s POVThe mess of clothes in front of me was getting out of hand. I couldn’t believe I would ever be this nervous over clothes. Tops, dresses, and jackets were strewn across the bed, even spilling over the dresser. I picked up a black, elegant dress, one that I had worn exactly once, and held it up to my chest. It was silky, fitted, and… sophisticated. That should work, right? But as I examined it in the mirror, trying to picture myself in a crowd of concertgoers, I felt a familiar twinge of doubt creep in. Ugh. It was so difficult picking a proper outfit for this concert. And I couldn’t completely blame myself. I had never been to a concert before in my entire life. Then Jade’s voice suddenly cut through my thoughts. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” She was standing in the doorway with her arms crossed over her chest, looking at me like I had suggested going to the concert in a ball gown.I turned, letting the dress dangle from my hand. “What?”“Eve, that’s what you wear to

All Is Well That Ends Well

Eve’s POVThe question felt like a slap.“When were you planning on telling me that Jameson is my son?”I blinked and my heart hammered against my chest. The way he looked at me, I could see the excitement from earlier had been wiped away and was now replaced with what looked like a mixture of anger and betrayal. Fuck. I had screwed up, hadn’t I? I gulped and stammered. "Stefan, I… I can explain..."“Explain?” He scoffed, cutting me off before I could even finish my sentence. “You think there’s anything you could say that would justify keeping my own son from me?” He took a step forward, his face tight with a fury I had to see. “So, tell me. When were you planning to tell me, Eve? How long did you think you could hide something like this?”My mind was a hot mess now and words tangled in my throat as I reached out instinctively to touch him. “Please, Stefan, just let me…”He pulled his hand back sharply, stepping away from me as if my touch was a threat. “Don’t.” He warned me. And

Reclaiming What is Lost

Eve’s POVThis afternoon, Stefan had called an urgent meeting to his planning room and almost all of us were here. Me, Apollo, Lukas, Luna Jessica and Queen Morwenna. Apollo cleared his throat, pulling a slim black portfolio from the conference table that he was leaning over. “It’s Vesper.” He said, opening the folder. My heart caught at the mention of Vesper’s name.“Moonsong pack is suffering.”With a grim precision, he laid out several photographs in front of us. My hand shook as I reached for them. My heart broke at the images of my subjects being oppressed by Vesper. Some were being tortured mercilessly in the photos and others were either malnourished or unsheltered. The people in the photograph looked broken. My people looked broken. I bit down hard, my lips pressing into a thin line as continued to flip to the remaining photos. As I looked at each picture, my anger simmered, heating my veins. Each one showed a different face, another soul that had fallen under Vesper’s brutal
