I could feel his breath against my mouth.
“Name who insulted you.”

I couldn’t tell if it was a growl or a husk. But my heart raced soo bad that my body began to tingle.
God!
I hated how desperate I felt. I hated how my body leaned toward him as if I was under a spell. For the first time since the day Fiona cooked my arm, I finally caught his scent.
But it was faint.
My lips opened slightly, desperate to close that last inch, but right when they were about to touch, he stopped.
He just stared at me. His eyes went to my lips, my cheek, my nose till it stopped at my eyes and just paused. I swallowed hard but my knees were trembling soo bad that I had to grip his arm. For a second I swore he could hear the pounding inside my chest. His
Then he pulled back and backed me.
The cold that rushed in where his warmth had been felt like a slap on my face.
My throat burned to the point that I didn’t even realise tears flowed down my cheeks till I sniffed.
He walked to the door and before I could move, before I could even breathe out his name, he was gone.
Again.
I stood there. Speechless and furious
Furious at him.
Furious at myself that once again, I had let him come in and do as he pleases.
I collapsed on the bed. Ignoring the pounding in my head and just stared at the ceiling.
Elder Lorenzo.
Clifford,
Alexander.
His behaviour towards my burns.
Moonstone pack.

I couldn’t breathe. Something was definitely wrong in soo many places and I really need to wrap my head around a lot of things.
I didn’t know how long I stayed in that position or if I slept.
I didn’t know how long I stayed there, or if I drifted off. But when I heard a knock, I lazily turned to the other side of the bed.
“Luna Aquamarine, your dinner is here.”
That voice.
I turned back just to see her.
Fiona. Coming into my room with a tray on her hand and a smirk on her face. “I hope I’m not disturbing you?” she teased. Her voice was soft. Her eyes weren’t.
I pushed myself up. “You’re not stationed in this castle.”
My voice was hoarse, but steady.
Her lips curled. “Maybe. But I guess you’re too blind to see how things are slowly changing.”
Changing?
“You know you won’t stay here forever, right?” I forced my voice to be as calm as possible. “Once the debt is paid, all of you will go back to the Moonstone pack and this your madness will stop.”
Her eyes glinted sharp. “Hmm. I guess Alexander has other opinions about that.”
My jaw locked. “Take the food and get out.”
She didn’t move. Instead, her fingers trailed across my dresser like she owned it.
“The Primus didn’t look happy when he left,” she said sweetly, Too sweet. “Did you disappoint him already? No child yet? No wolf?”
My chest burned. I bit the inside of my check, forcing myself not to snap. But my blood boiled anyway.
She chuckled, “What happened to proving yourself and giving him a strong heir?”
“I said get out!” My voice cracked through the air.
Her head tilted slowly, predator–like. The corners of her mouth spread wider. “Careful, little sister. Actions have consequences. Look at your arm. Still not healed? It proves to everyone you truly have no wolf. That you heal like a human, the Primus’s speech won’t help you out of this.”
Her words struck hard. I knew she had spilled that soup on purpose.

My breath caught. For a moment, I almost glanced at my arm.
Almost.
But I didn’t. I kept my eyes locked on hers, even as my chest ached from holding myself so tight.

“If you think strength is measured by a wolf, you’re dumber than I thought.” My voice came low, steady, sharp. I leaned forward, staring her down. “I’ve done things you could never do. Seen things you’ll never see. Heard things you’ll never hear. So if you think using Alexander’s attitude will scare me? Sister, wake up.”
Her smile vanished. Just like that. Her eyes narrowed, dark and furious, her glare pressing down heavy.
She moved, sharp and angry, closing the distance.
“Don’t think for one moment-” she started, voice tight with venom.
I didn’t let her finish.
I forced myself to stand despite the way everything seemed foggy to me for some reason.
Without another word, I crossed to the door and pulled it open. The hinges groaned loud, echoing. The guards outside snapped their heads toward us. Perfect.
“I need to rest, Fiona.” I pitched my voice loud enough for them to hear. “We’ll continue our discussion later.”
Her eyes flared. Her jaw clenched tight. I saw the twitch in her lips, the words she wanted to spit but couldn’t with witnesses there. She bit down on them hard.
Then, like she’d been rehearsing all her life, she smiled. She lifted the tray and gritted her teeth, “Of course, Luna.”
I didn’t move. Didn’t flinch. Just held the door wide, body between her and my room.
She slipped past me.
She smiled until the last step. But I saw it.
The storm in her eyes.
And I knew she wasn’t done.
I staggered to the bed and collapsed onto it. My limbs felt weak.
I wasn’t sure why. But it felt like my wolf was breaking down and gaining strength again.
Was it what Levi applied on my hand?
Could I be feeling like this because of Alexander’s scent?
I couldn’t tell, but I felt restless. The only thing I could hear was the unsteady sound of my heartbeat.

Then, without warning, a loud howl suddenly pierced the air.
The noise faded away, but left me shaking like a leaf despite the windows being shut.
My eyes flew open and my heart raced. “Oh no.” I whispered in a shaky breath.
Clifford?
