Luna
I'm torn between whom to despise more: Levi and Sabrina for betraying my trust and being unfaithful, or myself for failing to see through their deceitful facade.
I sighed heavily as I tilted back a large jug of beer, the amber liquid flowing down my throat.
I should have realized they were cheating on me in secret. I should have known. Why is it that only misfortune finds me? I hate when everyone who is important to me in life eventually cheats on me.
“I hate all of you," I mumbled, laying my head on the countertop and sinking down in my misery. The weight of betrayal and heartbreak felt suffocating as I drowned my sorrows in alcohol. It seemed like a never-ending cycle of disappointment, leaving me questioning my own judgment and the worthiness of love.
Desperation filled my voice as I whispered, "When will I find someone who won't break me?"
I don’t want to wake up; all I want is for this to be a bad dream and nothing else. I don't want to see Levi cheating, and I don't want Sabrina, my best friend, to break my trust by sleeping with my boyfriend. I don’t want a life where I’m alone with no one by my side. I want love. I want a family of my own.
I asked the bartender for another beer to drown my sorrows. Heartbreak consumed me, driving me to seek solace in another drink to dull the ache within.
A voice from my left said, "I don't think you should have another drink."
I turned my head, staring at a handsome stranger who seemed to be staring at me nonstop. "Who do you think you are?" I challenged, bringing the jug to my lips, only to have it snatched away before I could drink.
"Give that back!" I demanded, reaching for it, but his grip remained steadfast.
“Calm down; drinking is not always the solution to escape from your problems.” He said, taking a sip of the beer he took away from me. “If you want, I can ease your pain a bit,” he smirks, with his fingers touching the palm of my hands.
I withdrew my hands from his touch, a mix of anger and confusion swirling within me. "I don't need your help," I snapped, my voice trembling slightly.
I shook my head. Even if I am drunk as hell, I can’t let this man take advantage of me. "Leave me alone." I stood up from the barstool, my vision slightly blurred from the alcohol.
"Wait, you can't leave now,” he said, grabbing my hand and pulling me to him. I struggled against his grip, my heart pounding in my chest.
“Leave me alone,” I said, punching his chest, but he was too bucky for me to handle, and my fist started throbbing just from a punch. He smirked, tightening his grip on my hand. Panic surged through me as I desperately searched for an escape route, my mind racing with fear and adrenaline.
“She said…leave,” A voice came from the back, and two arms pulled me away from the bucky stranger. I stumbled backward, relieved to be free from his grasp, and struggled to catch my breath.
“Who are you to interrupt?” The bucky stranger said, trying to pull me to him again, but the newcomer stood firm, his expression unwavering.
"Leave; I don’t want to repeat myself,” he said as if his words worked like magic and the bucky dude finally left.
I wanted to thank the man for saving my ass today, but just as I turned my head, everything started to dance in front of my eyes before it all shut down and turned black.

Andrew
“So, how long are you planning to stay single?” My friend and my beta Lucas brought up the same topic that he brings up a hundred times in front of me.
“I will until I find her.” I sighed, repeating the same damn words I had said to him.
Lucas nodded his head. “I know, but you also know that finding a mate is not as easy as one might think; some wolves couldn't even find one in their whole lifetime.”
“I know, but I still wait,” I repeated, taking a big chug of my favorite whiskey.
“But you're aware that a pack requires a Luna and an heir to continue our bloodline.” Lucas continued.
"I need some fresh air," I declared, excusing myself from the conversation and moving away.
Just as I was making my way downstairs, a faint smell flared my nostrils—a smell of something so different yet very pleasing—and I let my nose follow my step, walking one step closer to the person with the pleasing scent.
Following the captivating scent, I approached the bar table, where a lone human female sat in the company of a man. Everything seemed good at first, and I wanted to intrude, so I stood close to her, hearing all the words.
Never in life has a human smell so amusing to me; her fragrance electrifies all my senses; maybe she is the one I was trying to find all this time, my one and only mate. But along with her pleasing fragrance, I can also smell her sadness in her mood; she is sad about something. Maybe that is the reason why she is here drinking all alone while everyone else is enjoying their lives.
“Leave me alone.” I heard the female shout as she was sitting, grabbing her hands and pulling her to him. She punched the chest of a man trying to escape, but he was too big for her to handle alone.
“She said... leave,” I said, freeing her from his grasp and pulling her to me.
“Who are you to interrupt?” The nasty man said he was trying to pull her away from me.
"Leave; I don’t want to repeat myself,” I said, and with eyes dark as my wolf tried to take control over my body, fangs appeared in my mouth, and before I could say anything, the man left.
Fortunately, he departed; otherwise, my wolf would have torn him to shreds for daring to touch my mate.
Her hands touched my shoulders, making my wolf calm down. I stared at a person whose scent was so exciting to me. My eyes stared at her, and within a mere second, I knew that she was one for me. Before any words could escape my lips, she went limp in my arms, her body growing unnaturally still, sending a wave of panic through me. Panic surged as I frantically searched for a pulse; my relief was palpable when I confirmed she was still breathing. Holding her close, a fierce protectiveness enveloped me as a solemn vow resonated within me to shield her from harm at any expense.
AndrewI stared at the person in my arms. With her eyes closed, she looked like an angel falling down the earth just for me. Her delicate features and serene expression captivated me, making it hard to believe she was real. The warmth of her body against mine felt like a divine embrace, as if the universe had conspired to bring us together at that moment.I sighed happily, feeling a wave of contentment and peace wash over me. I found my mate in this unexpected encounter, and it felt like the missing piece of my soul had finally been found.'Lucas, get the car ready; we are leaving,' I communicated to my beta through our mind-link.'But why all of a sudden?' he asked, confused by the sudden change.‘Just do what I say and don’t ask any questions.’ I replied, dismissing the conversation and carrying my mate in my arms and outside the bar. As I got out, I noticed Lucas following my orders and standing alongside the car. “How many drinks did you have?” I asked Lucas, and I gently placed m
Luna“I don’t know... You can leave if you want to or stay the night here.” The man in front of me said as he squeezed my hands gently. “With me.”His words work like magic to me, or maybe it was the sincerity in his eyes or whatever little booze was left in the system that was working its magic. But somehow, I couldn't resist the pull he had on me. His offer felt tempting, like a chance to escape reality for just a little while longer. I hesitated, torn between the desire to stay and the fear of the unknown that awaited outside those doors.But for now, all I want is to kiss him while he is talking to me, to feel the warmth of his lips against mine, and to lose myself in the moment.His hands moved, touching my face gently as he leaned in closer, his touch sending shivers down my spine. He tugged a few strands of hair away from my eyes as he caressed my face. His thumb moved on my lower lip as he started to gently glide his thumb just below my lower lip, tracing the outline of my mout
LunaMorning light shines over my face, waking me up from my peaceful slumber. As I stretched and yawned, the very first thing that I noticed was that I was lying on a giant bed and that too naked in a robe made of the softest silk. Confusion washed over me as I tried to recall how I ended up in this luxurious room, surrounded by opulent furnishings and intricate artwork. Memories of yesterday night filled my mind. ‘Did I sleep with a stranger?' Shit, how can I be so foolish? How worse can my life be? First, my boyfriend and best friend cheated on me; second, I got drunk and harassed in a bar; and now I had one night stand with a person that I didn’t even know about. I am a fool. As I glanced around the room, a sinking feeling settled in my stomach. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks: this wasn't just any luxurious room; it was the penthouse suite of a renowned hotel. How did I end up here? The memories of the previous night were hazy at best, but one thing was clear: I had
LunaI leaned in closer with my lips parted, ready to give him a gentle kiss. He holds my head gently in his hands, his touch sending shivers down my spine. As our lips finally meet, a surge of warmth and passion envelops us both, igniting a fiery connection that feels utterly electrifying. Slowly but passionately, the kiss deepened as his body pressed against mine, his hands exploring the curves of my back. As he finally broke the kiss, his head rested on mine, and we both caught our breath, feeling a sense of euphoria and longing."You can't ignore the chemistry between us," he whispered, his voice filled with desire. “Don't lie, you do feel a spark when I touch you.” I looked at him, puzzled. I shook my head in confusion, unsure of how to respond. I know everything he is saying is true because I have also felt the intense connection between us. It's as if our souls are magnetically drawn to each other, igniting a fire that cannot be extinguished. But despite the undeniable attracti
Luna As we stepped out of the car, a few men came around us in black suits and sunglasses. They had a serious demeanor and seemed to be guarding something or someone important. The air was filled with an aura of mystery and anticipation as we wondered what awaited us in this unfamiliar place."Boss," one of the men in the black suit said, his voice filled with respect and urgency. "We caught him. He's been hiding here all along." One of the men spoke, but Andrew stopped him before he could reveal any more information.Andrew's eyes narrowed as he exchanged a knowing glance with the men in black suits. "Not here," Andrew said firmly, his voice carrying a sense of caution. "Wait for me and guard that bastard with your lives. I'll go and see what he's been up to." Andrew said as men nodded in unison, diapering into the shadows."Are you some kind of mafia boss?" I asked, turning my head to face Andrew. My curiosity was piqued by his commanding presence.Andrew took my hand and planted a
Luna "You can't marry me," I said sternly, my voice laced with anger as I stared at him, my heart pounding in my chest."I can do anything if I want to," he retorted defiantly, his eyes filled with determination. "Don't underestimate my ability; I can do anything I set my mind to," he added confidently, his tone unwavering. The intensity in his gaze only grew stronger, as if daring me to challenge his resolve."You….," I wanted to shout back at him, but the words caught in my throat. His unwavering confidence and determination left me momentarily speechless, unsure of how to respond. "Why is it so hard to leave me?" The question slipped out of my mouth before I could stop it. My voice was filled with a mix of frustration and wrath.Andrew smirked, his eyes gleaming with a hint of amusement. "Because you are the only one for me," he replied, his voice laced with a hint of longing. "No one else has ever made me feel the way you do." His words hung in the air, causing a swirl of conflict
Luna"Uncle..." I mumbled, staring at Andrew in shock and disbelief. The air grew heavy with tension as Levi's words left me speechless.Andrew looked back and forth between Levi and me, his gaze filled with confusion."Levi, the guy who cheated on you? Andrew asks in a whisper. Levi's jaw clenched as he stepped forward, his fists balling up at his sides. The silence was deafening as I struggled to find the right words to explain the situation."You come with me." Levi took my hand. Andrew was pulling me toward him, but before I could protest, Andrew caught my other hand and pulled me back towards him."She is not going anywhere with you," Andrew stated firmly, his eyes blazing with anger. The tension between the two men was palpable as I stood frozen in the middle, feeling torn and unsure of what to do next."Who are you to stop me from taking her?" Levi growled, his grip tightening on my hand. "She is mine now," Andrew responded, his voice filled with determination. "My woman is my r
Luna"Sit here and don't go anywhere," Andrew instructed, taking me to a luxurious bedroom with a large, comfortable bed and elegant decor."Where are you going?" I asked, feeling a bit uneasy about being left alone in such a lavish room. "I'll be back shortly; just stay put and relax," Andrew reassured me before exiting the room."Wait…," I was about to ask more questions, but Andrew had already left the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts in the opulent bedroom.I moved around the room; everything here was black and gray with hints of gold, giving off a sense of sophistication and luxury.Leaning on the soft mattress, I felt like royalty as its plushness enveloped me."Where am I?" I mumbled, hugging the pillow closer, trying to make sense of the situation. The room felt luxurious, taking me to a realm of sophistication and luxury that seemed unreal.I sighed when my eyes landed on a beautiful frame on the bedside table. I took the frame in my hand, staring at a picture of a happ

“What is the place?” I asked as Andrew put his hand out for me to walk down the car. I glanced around, taking in the unfamiliar but familiar surroundings. Andrew smiled and replied, “This place is very close to both hearts and memories.”I look at Andrew with curiosity. “I don’t understand what you mean by that.” Andrew chuckled softly and gestured for me to follow him, saying, “Let me show you around, and it will all make sense.”He took my hand as we both walked the lush green pathway towards a secluded garden. Nostalgic memories flooded my mind as we walked through the serene landscape. The sights, smells, and sounds all seem to transport me back to my childhood. This place felt like a dream I never wanted to wake up from, a part of my past that I never wanted to lose.“Do you remember now?” Andrew asked; we both stood in front of a giant bungalow. My eyes widened in awe as memories flooded back, making me feel like a child again. I nodded slowly, feeling a mix of emotions that I h
I stare at Luna as she finishes her soup, her eyes sparkling with satisfaction. The warm broth seems to have brought color back to her cheeks, and I can’t help but smile at the sight.“What are you standing at?” Luna asked, sticking her tongue out to lick the corner of her mouth where a stray drop of soup had landed. “You’re making me self-conscious,” she added with a playful grin, clearly enjoying my attention.I leaned towards her and whispered, “I can’t help it; you’re just too beautiful.”A blush crept up Luna’s cheeks as she shyly looked down at her now empty bowl, the remnants of her meal forgotten. My heart swelled with affection for her as I realized how lucky I was to have her in my life.“I am full now; you can take the bowl away,” she said softly, breaking the moment. I smiled and reached for her hand, squeezing it gently before standing up and taking the bowl from her, keeping it out of her reach. “I’ll take care of this. You should rest.” I brushed her hair, fixing the pi
Andrew looked at me with concern; his brow furrowed slightly. “But what?”“I can’t remember you...” I paused, admitting my memory loss. “I don’t remember anything about us,” I confessed, feeling a pang of fear and confusion.Andrew’s expression softened, his eyes filled with understanding and compassion. “It’s okay,” he said reassuringly, wrapping me in another hug. “I will help you remember everything. Do you love me?” he asked, his voice filled with hope and vulnerability.“I don’t know... but I feel a strong connection to you,” I replied honestly, feeling a mix of emotions swirling inside me. “Your touch feels familiar, like I’ve known you for a long time.” Andrew smiled gently, his hand reaching out to grasp mine. “That’s a good start,” he said softly. “We’ll figure this out together.”“And if you don’t love me, then I will make you fall in love with me all over again,” he added with a playful wink, making me laugh despite the confusion in my mind. “The first we met, I challenged
I groan in pain as I open my eyes, feeling the sharp ache radiating through my body. I struggled to sit up, my head pounding with each movement.“Don’t get up...” I heard a similar voice say, and I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder. “Thank God you are awake,” the voice continued, relief evident in the tone. “You don’t know how worried we all were about you.”I moved to touch my head and felt a sharp pain shoot through my body. “What happened?” I turn my head to Sarah, who is sitting beside me, concern etched on her face. “Your body took a toll because of you using so much power,” she explained softly. “You pushed yourself too hard, and now you need to rest and recover.”I shook my head, my head spinning with confusion. “I don’t remember using any power,” I mumbled, trying to piece together the events leading up to my collapse.Sarah sighed, her eyes filled with worry. “I will call Andrew; he was so worried about you. He will be happy to know you’re awake.” She reached for her phone, h
I ran as fast as I could to Ramon and saved Luna from him, but it was too late.“Stop,” Ramon said, changing in his human form before my eyes. His grasp on Luna is still as tight as ever. “Go away; I have nothing to do with you,” he growled, his eyes filled with anger and grief.“Leave her, and I will let you live,” I pleaded, trying to reason with him. But his eyes darkened, and he tightened his grip on Luna, refusing to let her go. “Leave her. Never. She is the one who took my Serena life. I was a fool to have waited all these years for her powers to awaken. I should have killed her when I had the chance.” Ramon finished, his voice dripping with malice.“Why did you wait so long, then? If you truly wanted revenge, you would have acted sooner,” I retorted, trying to engage him in conversation and distract him so I could free my Luna from his grasp.“You know nothing; I have tried to kill her many times before, but she is always protected by Leonardo or one of his men,” he sneered. “B
“No.” Ramon’s voice cracked with emotion as he struggled to comprehend the depth of Leonardo’s action. The crackling of the flames drowned out any other sound, leaving a heavy silence in its wake.I can finally feel my body move again as the spell breaks, with the book falling from Ramon’s hands and crashing to the ground. “Serena...” Ramon whispered, his heart heavy with sorrow and regret. The flames continued to dance before him, casting eerie shadows on the walls of the abandoned cabin. He moves his hands, trying to save Leonardo and Serena from the inferno that consumed them both, but it is too late. The weight of his failure settled heavily on his shoulders as he watched helplessly, knowing there was nothing more he could do.“That bastard, even in death, he didn’t let you go,” Ramon muttered, his voice filled with bitterness and his hands burning as he tried to reach out to the charred remains of his loved ones. Burning Serena was the right thing to do, but why did Leonardo have
No one can bring back the dead, and seeking revenge will only lead to more pain and suffering.“You must be thinking that I am insane for even considering such a thing,” Ramon said, breaking me from my thoughts. “But you don’t know what I know.” I could see the desperation in his eyes, a mix of anger and sadness that told me there was more to his story than he was letting on.“And what is that we don’t know?” Lucas asked cautiously, sensing the weight of Ramon’s words. Ramon took a deep breath before taking out a book from under his shirt and showing it to us. “You know what this is? This is the key to bringing my Serena back to life,” Ramon said, his voice cracking with emotion.Both Lucas and I exchange glances and then direct our gaze toward the book in Ramon’s hand, the book that we have only heard about in legends and myths but never considered real. The book of Eklepō is said to have the power to resurrect the dead, a dark magic that could potentially change everything we though
Lucas and I stare at Roman in disbelief, wondering how we ended up in this dangerous situation. We have everything planned down to the last detail, but we never anticipated Roman being one step ahead of us.“You must be thinking, How am I always one step ahead?” Roman taunted, his voice dripping with arrogance. “But that’s the fun of the game, isn’t it?”“If you have everything planned ahead, then why have you waited all these years to make your move?” I asked, trying to buy us some time to come up with a new strategy. Roman just smirked, clearly enjoying the power he held over us.“You see, Andrew, you are still a child in this game,” Roman chuckled. “Patience is a virtue, and I’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to strike.”I could tell that Roman had something up his sleeve. Something big and unexpected that he was about to unleash on us. But what I didn’t know was just how cunning and strategic he truly was and why he was doing all these things. Is it only because of his hatred
