"I am no longer the Luna of Blood Moon. My work is no longer theirs to claim. " I said calmly. “I once saved your life and today,I am asking you for a favor. Seven days, get me all the classified border maps, underground passages… all the dirty treaties done under table.”
"…If this leaks, Blood Moon won’t survive the winter Luna. "the voice said hoarsely.
“That’s why I need you to keep it a secret” I replied. “Conceal the cancellation for seven days.”
There was a heavy pause on the other side, the voice finally said."Understood, Luna.The agreement will be nullified quietly. As you once saved my life, this will remain between us."
The phone disconnected and my palm rubbed small circles on my belly.
Three years ago, when you were captured by the enemy pack, Zyan, it was I who surrendered in exchange for your freedom.
I remembered the chains.
The cold.
How I told myself it was worth it.
How naive I had been to give my heart to a monster like you.
It's time I collect my debts one by one Zyan.
Two days passed in blur when I returned to the Blood Moon estate, the world felt foreign…too beautiful and clean for someone whose soul was dipped in tar and simmering with rage.
I knocked on the study door.
