A Reincarnated Luna Chapter 11: Mind your Own business
I keep taking a deep breaths while walking until I reach my room. I sat on the edge of the bedroom, trying to endure the pain. How can I even go to the clinic tomorrow? I stared at the paper and the list of chores. I creased my forehead and pursed my lips. The pain keeps striking my neck. As I looked at it, the black veins were visible. Something strange that I could not understand. I had never had this discomfort before, but after my 18th birthday, it started aching for no apparent reason. I lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Distraction.“That’s what I need!” I mumbled. I looked outside and saw the darkness engulfing the backyard. I gulped down and got an idea—I could finish it if I started now. My heart keeps pounding loud as I sneak out. I came closer to the main door when I heard someone opening the door upstairs. I hide on the couch and duck my head.“Come out! I can see your shirt, Eliana.” Caleb shouted with irritation. I slowly got up and made a peace sign to him,

Time passes so slowly that I can’t even move on where Caleb left me. I just followed what he said. The clothes that I could wear were in the room. I touched the dress—cotton silk that was so smooth, but Caleb got mad because of this. I sighed and forced myself to go to the servant’s room until I saw the clothes on the bed. I closed my eyes and made a facepalm. I changed my dress to a pair of shirts and jeans. Then I clean the kitchen and look outside. Definitely, I had no choice but to go out now.“What are you still doing here?” I looked up as I heard Caleb’s voice.“I’m sorry—”“If you do not go out, I will leave,” He left the mansion without looking back. I gulped down, trying to hold my tears. I always end up having trouble because of not doing what others want. I closed my eyes and let out the pain in my heart. I have known him only for a few weeks. Why am I being hurt a lot? Tears continuously streamed down my cheeks, and I slowly sat on the floor. Suddenly, a growl hit my ears.

I waited for the impact of my fall on the hole, but there was no pain as I found myself sitting below it. I touched the ground and frowned. It is too smooth and fluffy to be a rocky, dangerous underground. I crawl and find something to light up. Luckily I found a cabinet, then I moved my hand to the first drawer and found a lighter. I pressed it, and my eyes widened. My expectation of this place is reversed. This place has different paintings of animals and mountains. It is creepy, but it feels good. It has sky blue wallpaper with a touch of red on the walls, and it is like a room of a creative person. I spotted a tall lamp with a switch on it. As I tried to move closer, “Ouch!” I accidentally felt the lighter since it heated my thumb. I sighed, putting my thumb on my mouth to lessen the discomfort. Suddenly, I coughed roughly, I needed to change my shirt, or else I would get sick here. As I feel the hardness of breathing, I recall the most important thing I’ve learned living with Mi

Darkness crept me out, and I could not move until I felt the adrenaline rush when another growl echoed upstairs. I ran in the dark until I reached Caleb’s room. Without thinking, I made a noise when I knocked on the door too loudly, and the growl faded until it was already in the distance. I rushed to the other room and opened the window. I saw the large wolf running in the woods out of the mansion. My body quivers and keeps on throbbing. It is the same wolf. I am not hallucinating things. I am sure of it now. It is indeed an enormous wolf. When I was nine, at the orphanage, words spread out that wolves lived with humans. I thought it was only one of the scary stories that older adults wanted to tell kids who love playing at midnight, but now I am sure it is accurate. My legs were trembling, and my throat dried up. I shook my head and moved fast to open the light in the room. I must pull myself up and leave, or Caleb will see me here. I halted as I recalled Caleb without wearing anyt

In every word of Caleb’s best friend, there is something odd that he does not want to reveal. They are suspicious of their movements and seem to haven’t seen each other for a long time. Even though I am a few weeks here, it is evident that Caleb did not accept any visitors here. Charles’ surprised face when he saw me could not remove my head—he was relieved, then turned into sadness when he found out my name was Eliana.“Eliana!” I was startled, then got up and faced Caleb. “I thought you wanted to go out.” He smirked and went out.“Wait,” I said, following him outside the mansion. My jaw dropped as the sun directed at me. I ran outside and turned around, closing my eyes to feel the heat coming to my body. Nature is indeed helpful in forgetting any worries. I was ready to run on the highway, smiling ear to ear, but he grabbed my shirt.“You are so immature!” Caleb shouted. I pout my lips and walk behind him. As he kept walking, I did not look around and lowered my stare to the ground

Caleb never removed his hold on my hand. I find it cute, which I should not. I am indeed dreaming. It is too unreal to have this silent treatment towards him. My heart jumps with happiness which is not a good thing. “We’re here, but I can’t go inside.” He said, handing me a wallet. “What is this?” I asked.“You don’t know a wallet?” I smiled a bit and shook my head. Why do I even ask? I need money for the check-up. “Good. Go inside.” He said, putting his hand in his pocket. I sighed and walked inside the clinic. The nurse told me to wait because there was still another patient inside. I went first to the comfort room to wash my face, but on my way back, I froze on my stand. I run to return to the nurse station, unsure how to react to seeing Miss Rosie.“Miss Dion, your next,” the nurse smiled. I run inside the room, clasping my two hands.“Are you alright?” The doctor asked. I plastered a smile, hiding my nervousness, and nodded a little. “Take a seat,” I followed him, and he chec

The rush sounds of waves hit my ears. I blinked my eyes while roaming around. The trees danced with the wind, and the birds hummed with life. I look down, gasping at the vast water, then fear lingering in my body. It is a cliff. I am standing on a cliff. Word by word until it sinks into my thoughts. With just one inch of movement, I will be dead. My heart begins to pound, and I move backward with my legs trembling. “Relax,” a stern voice echoed around. Trying to see who is the man but I could not find him. Suddenly, in a snap of seconds, the footsteps are approaching. I turn my head, but someone pushes me on the ridge. I shout in horror until a warm hand touches my head. I am catching my breath and blinking my eyes.“What now?!” Caleb shouts at my face. I tilt my head to remove his hold. I am looking around at a pure white wall and ceiling. Hospital. I creased. As far as I can recall, I am only at the clinic.“Where are we?” He gets up, walks to the side of the room, and looks at the

Tears continuously streaming down my cheeks makes my heart so heavy and make me lose my appetite. Cleaning the table is the way I could reverse my thoughts. I am trying to calm myself and start washing the dishes. I kept myself busy since my emotions were so strange that I could not understand why I was emotional. My back hurts, and I am weary of the chores. I go straight to my room, changing my clothes when the gust noise starts at the ceiling. I look out the window. The rain starts pouring. It is slow, making a melody that makes me at ease. I jump in bed and close my eyes. —Time flies so fast. Nothing special happened in a week because Caleb returned for being a beast—locking himself in his room after that conversation in the dining room with Charles. It seems his mood is getting more and more gloomy. “Are you going out?” I was startled and turned around to face him. I nodded and could not grasp what to say. He walks past me and sits on the couch. I wait for his words as he grab

A Reincarnated Luna Chapter 51: Edge of Trust
The morning light filtered through the thin curtains of Gonzalo's cabin, casting soft rays across the wooden table where Eliana sat, nervously picking at her breakfast. The air was thick with an unspoken tension, starkly contrasting the warmth of Gonzalo’s unusually kind demeanor.Gonzalo poured coffee into a cup with his customary charm and placed it before Eliana with a smile. "I hope you slept well. I noticed you were restless last night."Eliana smiled, her thoughts still reeling from his harsh command the night before. "I’m fine, thank you."Gonzalo's gaze lingered on her, his eyes shadowed with a hint of possessiveness. "Did you get a chance to go outside yesterday? I know you like fresh air, but staying safe is important."Eliana’s pulse quickened at his words. She had ventured out for a brief walk, but his subtle inquiry made her uneasy. “Just a short walk,” she replied, trying to keep her tone neutral.As they ate, Gonzalo’s conversation was casual, but his probing questions
A Reincarnated Luna CHAPTER 50: Move Forward
I stared at the wolf. It seemed unharmed and just looked at me. I gulped and moved my feet backward. He moved forward, and I was alarmed. I ran without direction until someone grabbed me. I shouted and pushed him."Eliana!" I was stunned when I heard Gonzalo and faced him. "What happened?" he asked with a worried face. My heart beat so fast, and I didn't know if I could trust the man in front of me."I... saw something... scary," I said and collapsed on the grass.—I settled into a routine at Gonzalo's place, finding comfort in the peaceful solitude of the forest surrounding his cabin. Gonzalo continued to be kind and supportive, offering me guidance and understanding as I processed the revelations about Caleb's world. But still, I couldn’t open up completely to him—about the wolf I saw and about Caleb. I would deal with it myself.Days passed in a blur of chores and quiet contemplation. Gonzalo kept busy with his tasks, often disappearing into the woods for hours at a time. Despite
A Reincarnated Luna CHAPTER 49: Emotionless
I settled in well at Gonzalo's place. He explained everything to me, even providing lists of instructions on how to clean his house. It wasn't as big as Caleb's mansion but incredibly peaceful. Despite being literally in the middle of the forest inside there was no trace of eerie sounds or the growls of werewolves. I paused. Could the wolf I heard at the Orphanage have been Caleb? Goosebumps prickled my skin, adding to the pain already gnawing at me. How could I feel so emotionless?Gonzalo had been kind and patient since bringing me to his secluded cabin. He seemed to understand my need for space and solitude, giving me time to adjust to my new surroundings. His presence was reassuring, yet I couldn't shake the unsettling feeling that lingered beneath the surface.As days passed, I fell into a routine of cleaning and maintaining Gonzalo's home. The tasks kept my hands busy, but my mind wandered incessantly. Memories of Caleb haunted me—his smile, his touch, the secrets he kept hidden
A Reincarnated Luna CHAPTER 48: Painful
I moved my feet gingerly and blinked against the bright sunlight filtering through the dense foliage. Its warmth enveloped me, contrasting sharply with the cold fear lingering in my chest. As my eyes adjusted to the light, I cautiously scanned my surroundings, each glimpse bringing back fragmented memories of the night before. A werewolf? The thought made me shudder involuntarily, and I hugged myself tightly as if to ward off the lingering chill that threatened to pierce through my skin.“Ouch!” I exclaimed, more surprised by my touch than the pain it caused. The forest was eerily quiet around me, broken only by the rustling of leaves and distant bird calls. Suddenly, the stillness was shattered by approaching footsteps.“Are you okay?” A deep voice cut through the silence, making me jump. I turned around and looked up, my eyes meeting those of a tall man who seemed to tower over me. His presence was unexpected, his expression a curious mix of concern and amusement.“Hey, beautiful wo
A Reincarnated Luna CHAPTER 47: Ran away
I turned around, but no one was there. I shook my head, and before I could go out, Caleb came inside. He shook his head and smiled.“What is it?” I whispered.“It’s just a cat,” he said, pointing to my bed. “Go to sleep.” I nodded, and then he went out. I went to my bed and closed my eyes, but the voice I heard earlier made me feel anxious. I blinked my eyes multiple times, but it was still the same. I sat down and hugged myself.“When you have difficulty sleeping, think of happy thoughts.” My tears flowed down my cheeks. It was Miss Rosie's reminder for me. I miss her so much. She’s like my older sister. Suddenly, a thunder roared, followed by rain. I lay down and pulled the blanket over myself until I fell asleep with tears on my face.“No!” I shouted after an hour, and fear lingered in me. What was that about? I couldn’t recall my dream, but my body was shaking with fear. Caleb ran inside to me. He hugged me, and it calmed me down.“What happened?” he asked. I shook my head. I coul
A Reincarnated Luna CHAPTER 46: Lies
I did not say anything and just looked at Mrs. Higgins. Caleb and Charles walked into the dining room. I followed them quietly. The atmosphere was tense, charged with unspoken words and hidden emotions that seemed to press down on us all.Mrs. Higgins had prepared three meals: fish, chicken, and pork. Each dish was meticulously arranged on the table, a testament to her culinary skills. The aroma of the food filled the room, but none of us seemed to notice. We ate silently, the only sounds being the clinking of cutlery and the occasional scrape of a chair against the floor. It was a far cry from the lively meals we used to have, where laughter and conversation flowed freely.As I picked at my food, my mind wandered to the events of the past few days. There had been an air of secrecy around the house, with whispered conversations and doors closed quickly when I approached. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was being kept from me, and it gnawed at my insides like a persistent i
A Reincarnated Luna CHAPTER 45: Reveal
I blinked my eyes multiple times and found myself in my room. The familiarity of my surroundings felt jarring after the chaos of my dream. I took a deep breath, trying to ground myself in reality. The sunlight streamed through the window, casting warm patches on the floor. I got up quickly, my heart still racing from the vivid images in my mind, and ran outside.In the living room, Caleb and Charles were engaged in a lighthearted conversation, their laughter filling the room. The normalcy of the scene was almost unsettling given what I had just experienced.“Where is the monster?” I blurted out, my voice trembling. They both turned to look at me, their expressions shifting from amusement to confusion, and then they laughed.“What are you talking about?” Caleb asked, a hint of concern in his voice.“The creatures... The wolf!” I exclaimed, my desperation clear. The vivid memory of the wolf’s eyes and the eerie silence of the forest lingered in my mind.They both stopped laughing, their
A Reincarnated Luna CHAPTER 44: Hesitant
I lay in bed for an hour, unable to sleep. Caleb still hadn’t finished talking to Charles. I got up and walked to the door, hesitant to go outside but uncomfortable. Something inside me needed to be checked. I went downstairs and saw Mrs. Higgins in the living room. She smiled at me.“Do you need anything?” she asked.I smiled back, walking toward her. “I can’t sleep,” I answered.Mrs. Higgins motioned for me to sit next to her on the couch. “Would you like some tea? It might help you relax.”I nodded, appreciating her kindness. She got up and headed to the kitchen, leaving me alone with my thoughts. The house was quiet except for the faint murmur of voices from Caleb and Charles’ ongoing conversation. I wondered what they were discussing so intently at this hour.Mrs. Higgins returned with a steaming cup of chamomile tea and handed it to me. “Here you go, dear.”“Thank you,” I said, taking a sip. The warmth of the tea began to soothe my nerves. Mrs. Higgins sat back down, her presenc
A Reincarnated Luna CHAPTER 43: Lecture
Charles stood in silence, his gaze fixed on Caleb. I waited, expecting him to say something important, but minutes passed with only the weight of silence between us.“I thought…” I began tentatively, but Charles cut me off with a chuckle before I could finish my thought.“No, nothing serious. I have to go, Al—”“Caleb,” Caleb said smoothly, his voice calm yet authoritative. “Let’s step outside,” he suggested, casting a glance in my direction. “Eliana, take some rest. Tomorrow, you can begin cleaning the mansion.” He chuckled softly at my disappointed expression before leading Charles towards the door.Left alone, I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of curiosity and exhaustion settling in. Deciding a refreshing shower would clear my mind, I walk to the spacious bathroom adjoining my room. The marble floors were cool beneath my bare feet as I turned on the water, adjusting it to the perfect temperature. Steam filled the room, carrying with it the soothing scent of lavender from the gard
