MoonBound Chapter 1 1

LILIANA POINT OF VIEW

I dropped the book, noticing how dark it is becoming. I need to go home before it gets too dark, so I can make dinner, I am quite sure Mom will be out busy with work.

"Hi, Liliana." I hear, and smile at Dorcas.

"Hey, Dorcas."

My voice is low, and controlled, everything about me is controlled.

"I need to return this book, baby Cordelia spilled milk all over it. I know I shouldn't ruin the Library books, but pretty please." She smiles, and I am silent for a few seconds.

This is not a library, it is a bookshop. She borrowed the book three weeks ago, she didn't even pay for it, but I don't say any of that.

"Of course, there's no problem." I smile, taking the ruined book from her, the damage looks and smells more like Vodka, but it isn't my place to say something.

"Have a nice night, my regards to sweet Cord – "

She cuts me off saying "Could I grab Taylor Jenkins Reid latest book, I will just skim through, not much reading."

I stay silent for a few seconds then nod, taking the book and showing her the tag, despite knowing she wouldn't pay.

"I will owe you a dollar." She grins and walks away, leaving me with a smile on my face, one that feels more plastic by each second.

I spend the next twenty minutes packing all my books inside, with the flowers. It has always been my dream to own a bookshop, that is also a flower shop. I have been thinking of expanding, making it a cafe too, but that seems unattainable with every second that passes.

I am twenty-eight, and still live with my mother. I have enough money in saving, to get my own apartment, and revamp the bookshop, but I can't touch it, because I have to stay with her, she needs me, even if she doesn't show others.

The weather is getting a bit cloudy, and I know in less than thirty minutes it's going to rain, so I better move it.

I stare round the bookshop, making sure everything is packed, so I head to the door, about to leave, when I hear a familiar voice.

"Lilliana."

"Collin." I smile at him, his blue eyes gazing at me softly.

"Hey,"

I look behind him and see he is not alone.

"Oh, hey Raye." I smile, when it is the last thing I want to do, considering the huge crush I have on Collin and the rumor flying about him and Raye.

"Where are you heading to, it's getting pretty late." I say, bringing out my keys.

"Late? The night is just getting started, but I guess you have a curfew." She grins and I smile.

"We need some flowers and candles, there's a party few streets from here, you're welcome to come." Collin says, and I stare at him.

Collin is the Alpha's first son, and he has been my crush, the 'love of my life' for a very long time, we grew up together, we were best friends, until we grew apart.

"Oh, we are closed, come early tomorrow." I say, locking the doors.

"You are still here, Liliana." He smiles and I frown.

"Yeah, but I have to go. Like Raye said, I have a curfew." I smile, feeling pangs of hunger.

"Oh come on, pretty please. I will make it up to you."

I say nothing as I open the doors, and hand them everything they need. I pretend I don't see the pack of condoms he shows her, or the kiss he gives her.

I walk home, in the rain, and get home, soaking wet, just my luck.

__

"Jadyy." Mom singsong as I walk inside the four-bedroom Apartment I grew up in.

Our Pack – The Golden Claw Pack is a very calm Pack, and I grew up here, I have spent my entire twenty-eight years of existence within the border of this Pack.

"Hey Mom." I say, seeing her sprawled all over the couch, I pretend not too hide. see the bottle of scotch she is trying to hide, I just have to pretend to not see these things, no matter how glaring there are.

I ignore it till it goes away. It has worked for me for years, why stop now.

"Have you eaten?" I ask, pulling off my shoes.

"Yeah, ordered Pizza. There's some in the Fridge." She says and I nod.

Today was a normal day, just like every other day,

"Goodnight, Mom." I say, and head to my room, the room I used through my childhood, through my teenage years. I have outgrown everything here, but it is like I am stuck in time, I have to be here, I can't move, I am suspended in time.

My Dad died ten years ago. He was my favorite person, and the day he died was the saddest day of my life, he was angelic, a gift, the best man ever.

I pull off my clothes, lay on the bed, the toll of the day getting to me, and in a matter of seconds, I am out like a light, or not, because I am standing in an unfamiliar room. It feels weird, very odd.

"Mom?" I call, my voice echoing, like it bounces on the walls, like it reverberates.

"Oh, dear, do not call her, you do not know her."

I freeze, the words washing over me like a cold weather

"Show yourself." I snap, loudly, in a voice that doesn't sound like mine.

"All in due time, Child of Steel."

I inhale harshly, staring round the room, there's something vaguely familiar about it, yet strange.

"What do you want, who are you?"

"And, so it begins, the beginning of the end, with you, Lilliana in the middle of it all."

Violently, I wake, gasping for air, and in a second, I forget everything, having nothing but the distinct feeling that I am forgetting something important.

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I've returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders-the man I was told was a crippled recluse-intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I'd cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent-the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower's security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy-Archibald's secret son-wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald's face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.
