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

    Staring at the vicinity of the Safe Haven Orphanage—primarily painted with red and blue walls, gives overwhelming rejoice. It is a school and a place to stay for orphans. I closed my eyes and averted my gaze. I grew accustomed to the people and environment after living here for 17 years but hearing the conversations inside the Headmistress’s office shattered my heart; I sighed and leaned on the wall. Another turned down to adopt me, but it hurt me even more because I could hear Headmistress Rosie pleading with the wealthy married couple inside.“What are you doing here, Eliana? Return to the classroom!” Miss Lalita suddenly appeared and yelled. I nodded and started walking. Since I was ten years old, I’ve used this cycle, which still breaks my heart.“How was it, Eliana? Are you going to start living in a villa now?” Risa inquired as she stood at the door, wiggling her curly hair. I entered the room with a half smile on my face. She is one of my cheerful friends.“Risa, don’t irritate

    “Eliana!” I opened my eyes to hear Risa’s loud voice. Her face was pale, and she gave me a frown. “How come you slept on the floor?”“Huh?” As I stood up, I uttered. The girls in the room were all staring at me and shaking their heads. “What transpired?” I inquired. Risa and Mary assisted me in getting up on the floor and directing me to my bed.“We found you unconscious on the floor.”“Do you have a fever?”In the sudden gust of wind, I clutched my blanket and shivered. “Hey!” Mary exclaimed.“I’m cold,” I mumbled, adding, “Could you please close the window?”They exchanged glances as a line appeared on their forehead. “The windows were closed, Eliana.” When I looked out the window, memories flashed through my mind—blurred faces of a girl running and a boy chasing her. They were content to enjoy the beauty of the forest while watching the sunset. “Eliana!”The glimpses faded as I focused on my friends. They appeared concerned and handed me a cup of hot coffee. “Drink this; I’m going

    A stream of cold water rushed into my body. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the bathroom.Things are gradually returning to my mind. Why do I keep catching a glimpse of that woman? I stood up and looked in the mirror. Our face is the same shape as hers, identical, but her hair is curly blonde. Who is she?“Eliana,” two knocks were on the door before the familiar voice yelled.“Yes, Mary, I am going out,” I said while drying myself on the towel.“Are you okay?” She asked, giving me my dress and undergarments. I smiled and assured her that everything was fine. “By the way, we’re going out tomorrow. Will you accompany us?” She voices out.“What are you going to do?” I asked, wearing my dress.“We’ll watch movies outside because it’s Saturday. We are fortunate that the headmistresses have agreed to this.” She responded, giggling, as she walked up to the door. They appeared to have forgotten my birthday, and I watched her leave with a sad smile on my face. I noticed the meal on th

    I smiled at the two men thinking they had a good intention in approaching me, and I felt at ease, but my smile faded when the moonlight directed on their faces. It is not a mustache they have but fur, not the usual look of a man. My eyes flickered, and I continued walking. “Young woman, what are you doing here in the dark alley?” The tall man asked; he wore a brown polo shirt and a black cap while the other wore a black polo shirt and slacks. I came to a screeching halt and turned around. The sudden intense fear hit me. I gradually stepped back and glanced at the road.“Yeah, we can help you. Where are you going?” The short man inquired. They both look like a monster of the night. I pinched my arms, thinking I was dreaming, but they shook their heads when I opened my eyes.“You are not dreaming. Come with us. We can help you.” They grinned and held my hand.“Let me go!” I shouted, but they gripped firmly. They are stronger than me. “Help!” I screamed, but it seemed no one was walking

  • A Reincarnated Luna   Chapter 5: The Beast

    Caleb’s Point of ViewThe agony of the past keeps haunting me. I could not let go of the girl of my life. My Luna died in a horrifying state in our rival pack—the Lycan Shadow Pack—the group of Lycans that were once a great comrade that we have, but everything changed, and they turned into a foe. I stared at the painting hanging on the wall—my Lia's face is a long curly, sharp nose, pale skin, and enticing lustrous round eyes. It shattered me inside. The veins and strength I had now were gone. Although almost two decades had passed, it was still fresh on my mind when I saw my Luna Lia bleeding to death on the woodland ridge; I did not see any Lycans around, but their scent left our place. I sighed and lay in my bed. Why can I still survive in this world? Every time I attempted to kill myself still an epic fail. Having royal blood is not suitable for me. Dying is the last thing we always do, but living without my mate has the most impact. Suddenly a noise downstairs pierced my ears. I

  • A Reincarnated Luna   Chapter 6: The Cold hearted man

    Eliana’s Point of ViewI covered my ears and couldn’t move on to the loud growl. It is a familiar howling I had heard before. I glanced around and saw the man in the window. He is staring at me with a smirk, and his jawline matches his face. He is not a monster, as the two scary men said last night. He is far away from that. He is like an earth angel with considerable baggage in his heart.“Go inside!” He shouted. His voice is not as elegant as a decent man’s. It’s a deep voice with a hint of concern.“What…” A sudden reflex hangs my words, the instinct to protect myself. Someone with sharp nails and fangs was trying to drag me out of the gate. As soon as I recovered, I ran inside and locked the door.“What are they?” I mumbled to myself while catching my breath. It is not human or animal. Am I dreaming? I pinched my arms and then closed my eyes due to the pain. “It is a wild animal. Don’t fear too much, or I will let you out!” I jumped as the man’s cold voice boomed in the hallway.

  • A Reincarnated Luna   Chapter 7: The Cruelty

    I ran into the woods, trying to see someone but a man with a smirk appeared before me. He touches my curly hair. I did not move and stared at him. Why is my hair curly? I have straight hair. I shook my head and tried to think. “Miss me?” The man’s voice echoed in the forest, and we were instantly in front of a verge. I was perplexed, beaming around. “Move forward; you are near the ridge!” The man shouted while walking forward towards me. “Stop! Right there,” As if my voice has its own will. I did not speak, I kept asking myself where that voice came from, but suddenly something burning touched my forehead. “Ouch!” I screamed while my heart kept pounding fast. Crap! Another vision! I opened my eyes and saw the man’s worried face. When he met my gaze, he coughed and stood up. “Next time, don’t starve yourself! Eat on time before doing your job!” He said in a harsh tone. I lay back in bed and shut my eyes. Suddenly I recall what had happened earlier. His eyes change hue. Is he indee

    Caleb was still holding my hand, but he did not move closer to me. I want to ask what he is doing, but I could not stand the cruelty he had earlier. It is too much for me to experience these things. Is this how a new adult is doing? Am I going to lose something in this room? I never had a boyfriend and never experienced love. Before my imagination got wild, Caleb let go of my hand. He walked to the door and opened the light. “You can sleep here for the night. Don’t go out even if you hear a loud bang or noise downstairs.” He commanded. I nodded and looked away. I overreacted and thought he would do something terrible to me. I sighed and stretched my legs. “Ouch!” I screamed, feeling the pain in my veins flowing on my neck and shoulder. The scars gleam and black veins appear on it. What is happening to me? “Keep quiet!” Caleb went back and locked the room, closing the lights again. He was too busy looking out the window; luckily, he did not notice the lights sprinkling on my neck un

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
