FAYEThe high doors opened from both sides and I stepped into the hall. Every single person in the hall rose to their feet in a deep sign of respect and reverence. A shiver of excitement rode up my spine as I walked into the sea of Eclipse pack wolves present at my crowning ceremony.I was going to be Luna in just a few minutes.Axel slid up to me and grasped my palm in his. "Ready?" He asked."Yes." I said, looking up at him. His eyes glittered with soft adoration and he smiled.We took the first step and those seated on the first row we walked by bowed low at the waist. We walked down the long aisle in between the two rows of seats, and the trail of my dress billowed out behind us.I could easily picture myself getting married to Axel on a day like this. I'm a gown like the creamy shimmery vampire's wife dress that I wore. He would hold my hand like this, and we would walk down the aisle. Or maybe Yvonne would give me away. I caught myself and squeezed my eyes shut.You're not
FAYE Its grip on me tightened some more, tightening, tightening, drawing me in further as the glow filled my head and the magic hummed even louder in my ear. I snapped the box closed immediately and shut my eyes to shake off the feeling. The magic was too powerful. Too alluring and strong. I felt like something had taken over me for those few minutes and I'd been behind a haze. I didn't know what I'd do with something like that if I had it, but I could still feel its powerful thrum. A glance around the room showed me everyone had felt it too. Somehow, Axel and Gardner were standing even closer to me. Their eyes glued to the box until I let the hand holding it up fall to my side. "So for how much longer is it going to be the responsibility of the Eclipse pack?"I asked Gardner. It took a minute to gather his thoughts. I wondered if those who had their wolves felt the power of the moonstone more strongly than latents did. "Well," he shared a look with Brenda and Deindre, "
FAYE "I believe by now he should have received the divorce papers." I was in the home office, with Yvonne sifting through files and documents that helped m learn about the family real estate company. It was a billion dollar company, and it was just recently branching out into the tech industry. Perfect for what I had in mind. "I didn't send him anything." I stopped flipping through the pages. "What are you saying, Yvonne? It's been days since I signed the papers." "The divorce papers are still on my desk in the office. I didn't send them to Nathan." I was stunned to a standstill as Yvonne kept walking in front of me. " But why?" "Because I wanted you to be crowned Luna first. I didn't want him finding out you were here until after you became Luna." "So I'm still Faye Carver?" I asked in surprise. I'd been hoping that by now Yvonne had received the divorce papers back and we could go to court and finally dissolve the marriage. But I was just learning that the divorce pape
FAYE I looked through my phone as articles on Nathan and Carver Tech kept popping up on it. The mere sight of it made me want to claw my eyes out. I didn't want this. I wanted Nathan to lose everything, to have nothing. I wanted to ruin Nathan and that stupid pack of his for all they made me go through. My heart squeezed as if it would shrink. I adjusted the shawl on my shoulders and crossed my legs at the ankle. The past week had really had been a lot. Brought me good things, but mostly so much responsibility. The past couple of weeks, I had frequently wondered how it would be if I was eventually crowned Luna and made leader of the Eclipse pack, according to my father's wishes. With me being a latent werewolf, I'd worried that I would be an outcast and treated like one, just like the Black Saint and his pack did. But that wasn't the case at all. The Eclipse pack had accepted me. They were all thrilled to have me as their leader, no matter my faults. It was no secret
FAYE Rolling around the bed, I relaxed into the bed, my face pressed into the soft sheets. I felt ridiculously full from lunch I'd had with Axel. We had gone there without a reservation, but Axel seemed to have pulled it off. I had really had my doubts about Axel helping me with my revenge plan, which was why I'd worried and then succumbed to the need to ask him again. He'd cleared me on that fast. The way he watched out for me and was always all in for me made me feel loved and cared for. Unlike any other relationship with anyone I'd ever been in, sadly. I knew for sure that Yvonne wouldn't want any part in it. I didn't even need to ask her to know that. The only thing that was eating at me was how we would cripple Nathan. It wasn't as if Axel or I could do it ourselves. We needed to find someone that'd do it. Someone to do it for the right price, of course, and I was ready to pay it. Anything that would spell out Nathan''s doom. Now that I was Luna, I had access to t
NATHAN I spent more time in the pack house. It seemed everyone had had enough of me being absent, and after Lannon and I had that talk in my office a week ago, I'd had to reconsider the decision to stay far away from the pack house. Even though each night I spent here, I still saw her in my sleep. He had convinced me to spend time at the pack house, even if I didn't want to move back in. He was right afterall, I was now deflecting from my duties as the Alpha of the pack and he wasn't the only one who had noticed. I had left the pack in his care, but I was still the Alpha. He'd done his best to make sure that things were running smoothly in the pack with assistance from Carolyn, Zelda and Ernouf. I hadn't even seen Ernouf and Carolyn in months, so when Lannon suggested I drop by more frequently than usual, I agreed. I hadn't even realized I'd been this absent and detached from everything. It was hell. I was having a meeting with my board members and as it was, I was alread
FAYE It took three long months for us to get Nathan right where we wanted him. Struggling at the edge of a precipice. All we needed to do now was push him off the brink. Right into the darkness that waited below. Let him feel how being at the bottom, desolate and scorned felt. I reclined back in my chair and stared out the glass window, not really looking at anything. It had taken Axel's contact some time to buy most of Nathan's stocks without arousing any suspicion. He had created many fake accounts, but he was still the one person behind all of it. We had sent some information to media houses anonymously, and they did the rest. Everything was going according to plan. With the media hounding him l, he was hella unfocused. It was the perfect time to throw the last blow that would make everything come crumbling down. I stood up and straightened out my dress before walking downstairs to the living room. I grabbed the remote from the coffee table and pit on the TV. As ex
FAYE Axel made us pasta. With meatballs that looked far too big. I helped him dish them out, and we carried them to the living room in. We ended both ended up on the floor, eating with me in sweats and him in simple worn jeans and t-shirt. We cleared out our plates and took the dishes to the kitchen. I'd never thought I'd have this much fun washing dishes. I couldn't help it when I suddenly thought of how it would be when we got married. Would it be like this? Him cooking most of our meals because I sucked at cooking. I shook my head at that, trying to dispel such thoughts. Before thinking of married life with Axel, I had to get divorced first. I'd promised Yvonne I'd send the papers in tomorrow but how? I didn't know how to go about it yet, and I didn't want to mention it to Axel now. We grabbed a bottle of red wine and two glasses before going back to the living room. We sat on the sofa facing each other, drinking red wine and watching the television with him occasiona
