A Reincarnated Luna Chapter 8: The Pain
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
A Reincarnated Luna Chapter 9: The Nuisance
Caleb’s Point of ViewI rushed upstairs and shut the door. The orphan getting on my nerves, I went straight to my bathroom and let the cold shower soak my body. Eliana is a nuisance in my life. I had never felt bothered without wearing anything after I transformed into a human, but the way she blushed and shouted to my face the fact that I was naked, I felt annoyed. I shut my eyes as water still poured down my head and body. Shaking my head was the next I did; I decided to stay in the bathtub to ease my mind. Those Lycans never stop bothering me here. They knew I would become more reckless at the full moon and wanted a fight. Once I proved that their Alpha Damien killed my Luna Lia, I would not control my wolf. I gripped the wall and scratched it. As I recalled the fight last night, my eyes widened. Did the girl witness it? “Argh!” I murmured, getting up while grabbing the towel. I move fast to wear decent clothes. As days passed, living with Eliana, I became more concerned about he
A Reincarnated Luna Chapter 10: The Chores
Eliana’s Point of view I cleaned the house and prepared the meal, but Caleb still had not arrived. After he left earlier, my heart skipped a beat. Caleb is overthinking, but I can’t help but smile. He is now going outside. Even though I am just a few days here, I saw how he avoids going outside, but now he seems happy going out. Perhaps the fresh air puts him in a good mood. It is a good thing, and I can ask him to help me go to a doctor. “Ouch!” The pain on my scar suddenly immersed again. I shut my eyes, feeling someone looking out of me. I try to get up, but I stumble on the floor. Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching the mansion. I blinked my eyes and saw a glowing red outside the window. I crease my forehead, “Caleb,” I whisper as I hold the chair to get up. “Who are you?” I heard Caleb’s voice. My eyes widened, averting my gaze to the glowing red I saw on the window, but it had already vanished. What was that? I gulp down, fighting the pain until I endure it. “Caleb!” I s
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,
A Reincarnated Luna Chapter 12: Reckless
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.
A Reincarnated Luna Chapter 13: Missing my Friends
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
A Reincarnated Luna Chapter 14: Getting Out
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
A Reincarnated Luna Chapter 15: The Bullies
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

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
