Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 25: Chores
NARAH'S POV Before I got out of Alpha Van's room, I made sure he was already laying in bed as he had promised me that he would get some rest I wasn't able to confess my newfound feelings for him, nor was he able to confess to me. But that was okay. I just hoped that someday I'd be able to.As I walked down the hallway, I noticed Gina emerging from her room. My attention was drawn to a small brown paper bag that she quickly hid behind her as she noticed me approaching. What was she trying to keep secret?She offered a nervous smile, turning slightly as I passed, maintaining eye contact while her hand remained behind her back, hiding the paper bag.I greeted her and continued to pass by, then she called out my name.“Narah,” her voice dripping with an unsettling sweetness. I really wasn't expecting anything less. I rolled my eyes and turned, giving her a fake grin.“What do you want?” I asked tiredly, instead she smiled even more.“How's my husband doing?” Husband? I had almost forg
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 26: Becoming fast friends
NARAH'S POV As we walked towards the shopping district, Vanessa briefed me on the specifics of what she needed to purchase for the upcoming event.I listened intently, making mental notes as she and James discussed everything from decorations to catering.Despite the busy nature of our task, Vanessa’s cheerful attitude was somewhat uplifting. She chatted about her experiences with high-profile events, offering me brief glimpses of a world far removed from her own current struggles.My mind wandered as we shopped. I couldn’t shake the image of Luna Tauriel’s troubled face if we dared get what she hated.Hours later, with our shopping complete, Vanessa thanked me for my help and wished me well. James and I got a taxi and returned to the mansion with the bags. We barely had time to drop them off before I was called to help prepare for a small dinner gathering Luna Tauriel was hosting. The evening’s tasks seemed endless.As the day wore on, exhaustion took its toll. I managed to complete
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 27: The garden
NARAH'S POV After finishing my dinner, I stepped outside the mansion, feeling the cool air on my hair and skin, but I couldn't escape the sense that Gina's anger was about to catch up with me at any moment.I shrugged off my concerns, trying to muster some semblance of confidence, and headed towards the small garden where the family was gathered.The garden, encircled by a vibrant array of flowers, had a distinct atmosphere. Unlike the building, which was filled with artificial scents, the garden was permeated with the natural fragrance of sweet flowers and freshly cut grass.It was decorated with stunning yellow lanterns that illuminated the path from the steep stairs and around every corner.Luna Tauriel and Gina were sitting together, enjoying drinks and laughter, while Alpha Van was accompanied by Beta Henry.As soon as I entered the scene, Alpha Van's gaze met mine, and he gave a small smile, directing his full attention to me. Noticing this shift in focus, Beta Henry, who had b
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 28: The Unseen threats
GINA'S POV My eyes burned with rage, but I tried my best to keep it at bay. I glanced at the exquisite colours of the wallpaper that covered the walls and inhaled the fresh scent of roses and strawberry mist that filled the air.The elegance of her room's decor stood in stark contrast to the chaos and messiness of my own life at the moment.My mother stood near the large closet, her back against it. Absent-mindedly, her thin fingers ran through her dark, curly mane that was tucked behind one ear while the other fell over one side of her slim face.I was pacing the room, shifting my gaze from one corner to another, struggling to still contain my anger. I understood my father had a plan, but this? I definitely wasn't expecting it to be so dangerous.“Why did Father have to do that?” I demanded on the verge of tears. “I almost lost Van!”My mother clicked her tongue and scowled. “You don't love him, so why do you even care about him at all?”“I don't care about him personally, but he’s
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 29: The cost of silence
GINA'S POVI could feel the tension in my blood reaching a boiling point before I even stepped outside the mansion, leaving Van behind as he watched me limp my way out.I needed space to think clearly and act without my mother or Van's questioning eyes on me.I took a deep breath as I passed the garden. The night's cool breeze tingled on my skin, and thoughts of the bastard waiting outside caused my hair to stand on end.I was trying to shake off the dizziness from the fall and remain as calm as possible, still limping as I went. My mind raced with thoughts of the person waiting outside and the implications of what they could mean for me.I glanced back at the garden and saw that everyone was still there except for my mother and Van. Before I left him in the mansion, I could sense his curiosity and concern but had no time to address them then or now. Though, I would never dare to address them.I looked back to make sure I wasn't seen or being followed by anyone. Thankfully, I manage
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 30: Shadows and secrets
NARAH'S POVI watched Gina limp past the garden, her usual grace and poise compromised, but I didn't understand why. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of concern, despite our complicated history.I was talking with Hanadin and Rachael, before I decided to go after her. As I approached the gate, I noticed Kacy and Sharon were lingering nearby, their whispers and giggles carrying on the wind.“Hey, Narah!” Kacy called out, her voice husky and laced with an unspoken invitation. “Join us!”I hesitated for a moment, my eyes locked on Gina's disappearing figure.“What makes an elephant look like a fat whale on land?” Sharon asked, suppressing her laughter.What? That single handedly topped my list for the most ridiculous question I've ever heard in my life. And mind you, I've heard a lot of ridiculous questions.“That doesn't make sense at all,” I said, observing both of them as they burst out laughing and had failed attempts at hugging each other.But my attention was soon diverted by Gina
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 31: A desperate plea
ALPHA VAN'S POVMoisture glistened softly in the corners of my eyes as I jolted awake, my heart pounding from an awful nightmare.Anakiyus's wolf tearing into Bryan's flesh, devouring his heart, and like a Kitsune, consuming his liver as well. The images were grotesque and vivid, and they left me gasping for breath.Sweat dripped from my body as I frantically yanked my cell phone from the drawer by the bedside. My hands were trembling, and I could barely dial the hospital number.I was finally able to dial the hospital line where Bryan was admitted. I had seen him the previous day; he was alright, but I insisted he stay so the doctors made sure he was completely fine before releasing him.“Hello, Doctor June,” I managed to say, my voice shaking.When Doctor June answered, her calm voice did nothing to ease my panic. “Alpha Killian, I was just about to call you,” she said.Without wasting a second, I blurted out, “Is Bryan alright? Did something happen to him?”“Yes… he—” Her voice tra
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 32: Tharos Kaldaros
ALPHA VAN'S POVDoctor June’s worried expression made my heart race even faster. “What is it, Doctor? Is Bryan’s condition worsening?” I asked, my voice tied with concern.“It’s not about Bryan’s condition, Alpha Killian,” she said, her voice low and serious. “It’s about the attack on him. We’ve found something... unusual.”My mind raced with possibilities. “What do you mean?”Doctor June hesitated before speaking. “When Bryan was rushed in here, there was a wound in his chest,”“Yes, I remember.”“Well, it’s not just a physical injury, Alpha Killian. The wound has some sort of dark magic in it.”My heart sank. “Dark magic? What do you mean?”“Bryan’s condition was better, but then, he got worse. I had to call in the famous Doctor Rowan. I explained the situation, and he agreed to come see Bryan. That's when he confirmed that an enchantment had been used in the attack.”What else was I expecting when dealing with a witch? A sudden fear of losing Bryan engulfed me once more. “I need y
