BORN TO BE A LUNA 58.
Aria's POV A strong slap landed on my face that I didn't immediately dodge because my eyes were so occupied staring at Nicholas. His bloodshot eyes and clenched jaws make him hot, but this isn't a time for romance. This man I am facing brings me a million pain, and my feelings shouldn't get in the way of him fooling me over and over again. Once is understandable: Twice is bearable: Thrice is too much. I caressed my cheeks as they started stinging, enabling me to glance at the person who slapped me. Natasha. I clenched my teeth in rage, and all I saw was red. She had the audacity to slap me in front of everyone. In spite of the fact that Nicholas and I are currently in a sticky situation. I am still the Luna. They had to respect me as is, if not as a person. "You don't deserve to be a Luna, you disrespectful daughter of a cunt!" exclaimed Natasha. My lips rose into a sarcastic smirk as I bit my lower lip to calm myself down. "Why don't you ask me if I want to be Luna, too?"

Aria's POVAfter a week, everything is once more at peace. Mysha did not text me again. I thus question if all that happened was simply a miscalculation. However, it wasn't appropriate for her to come here and level such a serious charge. Regardless of whether Mysha is wrong or right, my trust in the Sainthood brothers, especially those below us, has been shaken. Once broken, it would never be whole again. Pain it was, but I'll endure and pathetically stay regardless."Why are we serving the daughter of the man who made us all miserable?" a certain voice rang in my ear. "Alpha's order, we must obey," answered another.I smile bitterly and pretend unconcerned about everything. Indeed, the past has a significant impact on someone else's future. My parents' past is my current suffering. I'd say a thousand times that a daughter should not bear the sins of her parents. Everyone used to say, "To each his own." But what happened?"Aria," Salvy exclaimed as she approached me, but I quickly

Aria's POVElora, Salvy, and I have yet to settle our problem, but they have assisted me in gathering the omega. I've already briefed them on what to do if a rogue gets in. I've also dispatched she-wolf warriors to guard households with vulnerable members.Everything was in order, and everyone was waiting for my signal. Thankfully, despite the pandemonium caused by my parents, Mysha, and myself last week. Everyone strangely followed my command without inquiry. Perhaps because some still regard me as their Luna while others are obliged to follow."Aria," Elora tried to talk to me, but I shut her off."Not now, Elora."Kaia has already taken over my senses, and so far, I haven't detected any strange scents on the horizon. Maybe Nicholas and the others were able to keep the renegade at bay. Yet, given who the Alpha of the pack was, why would they dare to cross the border?"I just wanted to know if you've seen Natasha. We haven't seen her and..." Elora looks to Salvy, unsure whether to co

Aria's POVThe pack doctor immediately aided Natasha after we returned to the packhouse. However, it'll probably take her some days to heal her wounded face. Mazz was too cruel and abusive to punch Natasha, considering he was a man. It served him right that she rejected him as a mate. He doesn't deserve her.On a serious note, male shifters nowadays are getting too much. They are too possessive and obsessed in an unhealthy way. Our link is like a gun to our heads; one wrong move and they'll pull the trigger. Mates were not designed to be like ticking time bombs...but it seems like that.Speaking of the devil, my gaze was pulled to the approaching figure. Mazz's eyes were filled with rage while staring at me, his hands were tied, and two warriors held him on each side, taking him to the prison cell.He has no reason to be upset with me. I acted morally correct. Despite the fact that they are mates, he shouldn't have hurt Natasha. In addition to that, crossing the border brusquely is li

"Five died," Gregg noted.Nicholas blew a puff of smoke while looking at the dead. Mazz's sudden intrusion earlier caught them off guard. A bit complacent as he had already spoken with that man trading off words.It's been a week since that talk, yet the fucker broke down his promise and betrayed him. Seriously, he doesn't want to intervene in their dispute, but Natasha implores him to treat Aria nicely in return. So, he interferes...for Aria."Cremate them all," Nicholas ordered.He was not unfamiliar with this circumstance. Numerous rogues attempted to attack the pack, but none were successful. However, as can be expected, death is inevitable. A hundred warriors perished at one point, but fortunately, the enemy did not win and was defeated. Therefore, he was unsurprised by what had occurred today. Such attacks are typical in the realm."I'm heading back to the packhouse," he said as he walked away.Aria was no longer in the packhouse when Nicholas arrived; she probably proceeded to

Aria's POVA week had passed since the rogue episode, and strange as it may appear, Nicholas' behavior towards me had changed. He's like a flower luring me to give in and let my walls shatter once more. In a nutshell, he transformed into something very unexpected.But this pattern on him felt familiar: like a sense of deja vu. Nicholas is like a season; he's cold in the summer and hot when it's winter. He was sweet at the beginning of our relationship, but it faded. Now he does it again, being soft. But I refuse to believe it. He deceived me not just once or twice but more, so I don't know if I should still trust him."Hi."I adjusted my weight and focused on the door where Natasha was standing. She had a little smile on her face as she looked at me. I couldn't help but squint to be sure I wasn't hallucinating. Natasha, in addition to Nicholas, perplexes me. Her previously caustic and witchy attitude had shifted to the opposite extreme; she was now far too good to be true. The rogue a

Aria's POVTwo years laterMy gaze fell on the skyscraper in Antohollan. Every time I come here to make deliveries, the place never fails to amaze me. The cityscape is bustling with people and vendors, but it's not as crazy as it was in our domain. Years of juggling and trying to conform to this new environment were challenging. To fit in, I had to bury my identity, which is why Kaia remains hidden from the rest of them; not even the people I had to get to know here know who and what I actually am.It's been two years since I landed in the human realm—two years after that unfortunate incident—but no matter how hard I tried to erase those awful memories, two years couldn't heal the scars in my heart. Now and again, it bleeds. It was terminal."Don't you really want to work here in the city?" Mrs. Mercedez asked.She is a powerful figure in Antohollan, owning restaurant franchises around Europe. Living in this metropolis is enticing, but I couldn't afford to give up the peace I have in

Aria's POVThe alarm had been upped to level two, which caused Papa George to become anxious. It was nearly eight o'clock at night, and neither of us had eaten. Mama Sally sat at the kitchen counter while Papa George sat restlessly on the chair near the front door. The province is calm; the only unfavorable one is that there have been incidents where wild bears have come down and eaten animals, which most people here dread. "What creature could there be in the woods that Alfredo had raised the alarm?" I knew precisely what was hiding in the woods but couldn't bring myself to say anything. They have no idea what I am. They'd be surprised if I told them it was a werewolf. I can't risk everything — not now—not when everything feels like an ideal to me. This newfound family had been a treasure to me being abandoned by them would equate to the hurt I felt when my parents died. I couldn't afford to lose them."I have no idea, Sally."My hand formed into a fist, trying to stop myself fro

BORN TO BE A LUNA Epilogue
Nicholas I was peering out the window, clutching the cigarette I had just lighted, waiting for an update. I sent Kairo to spy on Crescentius, but the fool was caught, so I despatched Milan to spy. I was in the midst of my thought when the door to my office opened, and the wounded Kairo appeared. Angry, I delivered a powerful punch to his face, causing him to fly against the wall. He groaned in pain before falling to his knees. "You careless fool!" I growled. Kairo coughed up blood before struggling to rise. He was tortured so much because of the number of wounds on his body. Well, Luke does not easily let go of rogues. They kill them after torturing them. So how did Kairo get away? I puffed on my cigarettes, thinking about something. "How did you escape?" "Trek's youngest daughter released me," he admitted. I throw my cigarettes away while hearing Kairo's pathetic report. He was saved by a woman and not just any ordinary she-wolf, for she is the enemy's daughter. Look at how fa

Aria's POVNatasha's rage puts the baby she's carrying in danger. Fortunately, Doctor Green intervened quickly to prevent a possible miscarriage. So, instead of coming in the hospital for a check-up, Natasha ended up being confined. Her pregnancy wasn't quite healthy; a little stress would have stripped the pups she was carrying away."Let her take this medicine on a daily basis; it will help the baby grow healthy inside her," Doctor Green stated as she handed us a pill.She spoke softly, moved smoothly, and was very professional. Earlier, when Natasha attempted to scratch her face and cause havoc in the hospital, she calmly dodged her attack and injected her with a calming antidote.Rejecting her was probably Matthew's biggest regret. She is the epitome of grace and elegance. Not to mention how respectable her profession is. If I were in her shoes, I would never assist the woman my mate prefers over me. Nonetheless, she put her personal life aside and remain professional. She handl

Aria's POVLast night's conversation with Nicholas took us nowhere. He became irritated, so instead of staying outside for a few hours, we returned home earlier than planned. But, to be fair, despite his irritation, he didn't left me there. He's truly improved; perhaps he learned his lesson from the past."Luna Aria, there's a letter for you," Elora said as she handed me an envelope.I accepted it while combing my hair. The texture and fragrance of the envelope felt familiar. Only Crescentius sent letters on ivory paper, and the logo on the front of the envelope proved my claim. When I opened it, there was a small piece of paper stick inside. "M.S." I read the writing at the bottom.After reading the letter's contents, my breath caught in my throat and I had to stop combing my hair. I went back and read what had been said to make sure it wasn't just a delusion, but it wasn't. It was real. Mysha send me a letter. She wished for us to speak.My heart swelled with excitement.

Aria's POVWe returned home as dusk approached. I knew Nicholas had made us stay in the village for a half-day so I could spend time with my new found family. That man frequently works behind my back, not to hurt me, but to make me happy."I wish I'd get to reconcile with, Mysha," I blurted out as we approached the gate.The previous conflict had been resolved. Nicholas and I are also steadily establishing our relationship, and my human family has accepted me. Only my relationship with Mysha remains unresolved. "You'll reconcile sooner, love. Let time heal the wounds of the past or....how about you reach out for her?" he advised as he parked the car.My goal had always been to mend our shattered connection. I want to reach out to her, but every time our previous encounter comes to mind, fear stops me. She wanted me dead. So I'm worried that if I go to Crescentius, I won't make it out alive. Aside from my issue with Mysha, Alpha Luke had also disgusted me. I knew he was rational, but

Aria's POVI was drifting off into space, recalling what had just transpired. Things had quickly gotten out of hand. I'm not sure how to respond to all of the thoughts racing through my mind. It's commendable that the Elder acted fast and dispatched someone to address the disagreement. They also clarified what transpired in the past and cleared up any confusion. And Mysha was mistaken; our parents duped her into believing their lies, which she did.Our parents' previous attack on Rojo La Luna was laced with jealousy and threat. The reason they claimed Nicholas's parents were hiding in the rogue, even though they weren't."Are you okay?" Nicholas asked, sliding his hand on my stomach, hugging me from behind.I sighed before nodding. The trace of blood from Mysha earlier haunts me with worries. She is pregnant, yet she is willing to jeopardize her health for the sake of vengeance. Mysha is a fool for making that decision. She endangers not just her people, but also herself and the baby

Aria's POVAngered by the discourse she had with Nicholas, Mysha launched an attack. Our defense line was the first to meet Mysha's army of wolves, followed by the attacker, and they did the same. I looked at the sister I once admired, and I can't seem to find the familiarity in her anymore. She's totally different."Is there no other way to end this war?" I asked Nicholas.I don't want us to get to the point where blood is spilt and there is nothing left in the land because of my and Nicholas' parents, who are the basis of all of this. They're gone, therefore this meaningless fight must come to an end. We'll never know who uttered the truth on both sides because they're all dead. They are no longer present to testify about what occurred in the past. So, why are you still hanging on to that sad phase of life? We should all go on and forget about it. We will never progress if we remain rooted in the past. "If the Elders find out about this, both packs will suffer greatly," Natasha sa

Aria's POVI was so taken aback by Natasha's words early in the morning that I didn't have time to shower, brush my teeth, or even get dressed. I followed her in my pajamas to the packhouse, where all of the officials were already dressed in war gear. They look like royal armies ready for battle, whilst I am completely unprepared. My form right now was so out of place."How did you know my sister was coming?" I asked Nicholas, who was perched on his seat.Despite the fact that Mysha and I do not get along as siblings. Maybe she thought of me as a stranger by now. Hurting her feels like a second regret that I'll have to live with for the rest of my life. My parents' demise made me realize how important family is. I can't face the idea that something horrible will happen to her."Our Crescentius spy delivered us a message," he explained.He had planted a spy in Crescentius? How could I have missed that? "Why do you have a spy there?"A gust of doubt hustled through my nascent trust in

Aria's POVNicholas' feverish kisses resumed once we entered his car. I was a little sober from the inebriated sensation, but a slight touch from him put me on my knees. I surrendered myself to him, ignoring my rationality. I couldn't stand the heat. Nicholas' kisses literally steal my sanity."You taste like honey, my sweet," he said in my ear as his hand began to make advances on my body.Our movement is restricted, though, due to the limited space within Nicholas's automobile. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine making out inside a car. It made me feel both scared and excited. Fear of being caught. Thrill at the prospect of new experiences."Nicholas, can't we be seen here?" I told him. He planted soft kisses on my neck. "It's tinted, baby. Don't worry." I know it's tinted, but we're in the werewolf realm. Their vision is more developed than that of humans, and they could presumably see what's within even if it was tinted. Nicholas must have forgotten it because he was so co

Aria's POVThe meeting was cut short due to Luna Beatrice's temper tantrums. Nicholas can't forced Alpha Dony to return so that they can continue what they're talking about."Should we go see the cityscape?" he inquired.We were heading back to Red Moon around five o'clock. I'm not sure what Nicholas' plan is, but he mentioned the cityscape. Perhaps because it's almost night and the light there is excellent."It all depends on you; what are your plans?"I'm game for anything he wanted to do. Aside from the fact that we only go out from the pack on rare occasions, this could be a nice time to decompress."Let's unwind there for awhile," he said.True enough, we went directly to the city and reserved a table at one of the city's tallest restaurants. We are presently on the rooftop, from which we can overlook the entire neighborhood. This place reminds me of Antohollan; I've never been there at night, but I imagine it looks exactly like this at night. The magnificent streetlight embelli
