Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 40: Elegance and envy
NARAH'S POVI took a deep breath, almost bumping into James as I stepped outside the mansion. “Wow! Narah, you look– absolutely gorgeous,” he said, staring in awe at me.I flashed a pleasant smile. “Thank you.”He didn't ask any questions about how I got the dress or what prompted me to come back to the party, especially dressed as I was. He politely offered to walk me to the hall, and I accepted.As we descended the stairs, the sound of laughter and music grew louder with each steady step. The velvet gown and makeup gave me a new identity, and each step I took, the sway of the dress commanded respect and power.I was equally as scared as I was excited. As we reached the bottom of the stairs, I felt strange when all eyes turned to look at me. Their gasps echoed through the hall, disbelief and recognition settling in the eyes of those who had mocked me earlier.I saw Gina and Luna Tauriel making their way to me, their eyes flashing red like a warning as they approached, steaming with
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 41: Aftermath and anticipation
NARAH'S POV(One month later).Indeed, life did get difficult ever since the party, but it wasn't something I couldn't handle. Thankfully, Luna Tauriel had finally left the house, and it was a great cause for celebration among us, except for Gina, who obviously didn't want her mother to leave.Sharon had popped two bottles of champagne to celebrate her departure. Out of everyone, I was the most relieved. My entire life, I'd never been so happy to see someone leave.As the champagne bubbles faded and the celebration died down, a new sense of unease settled over me. It had been a month since the party, and while Luna Tauriel's departure had brought a sense of relief, Gina's increasingly secretive behaviour had me on edge.My workload had doubled, and as a result, I had found myself working harder and getting closer to her personal space. During this time, I discovered the envelope I had seen with her a few weeks ago was filled with money.Someone was extorting her. Yet, the identity of
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 42: Shattered illusions
NARAH’S POV The cold, clammy hand that covered my mouth was surprisingly gentle, but it sent a shiver down my spine. I struggled slightly, my breath muffled against the invading palm as my heart raced with fear. Suddenly, I heard Gina's footsteps retreating.“It's nothing. I guess I was just being paranoid,” she said.The hand withdrew. Slowly, I spun around and the shadows revealed a face I recognized— Chris. His expression was a mixture of urgency and concern. “Shh, Narah. It’s me,” he whispered, his voice barely audible.My initial panic subsided into confusion and a glimmer of relief. “Chris? What are you doing here?” I said in a hushed tone.Once again, Gina's wet moans began. The colliding of her body with the man's began almost immediately.Chris glanced around nervously before answering. “I knew you were investigating Gina. You'll be in danger if you keep doing that.”My mind raced with questions. How did he know I was onto Gina? I gulped down hard on nothing.“But I—”“We ne
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 43: The return of the warrior
NARAH'S POVSharon and I sat in silence for a few minutes. When she started to yawn, I asked her to go to bed. She didn't hesitate; she tiredly mumbled some gibberish, then finally said goodnight and staggered upstairs.I tried my best to get some sleep, but my eyelids refused to stay shut, even for a moment. My mind reeled with wild thoughts. Finally, I figured out how to get some sleep; the thoughts of Alpha Van naked was like a lullaby.Despite being overwhelmed, I smiled shyly at the memory. I remembered those strong arms that spun me around. Lips that passionately burned through mine.A broad back and chiselled jaws that could bend a knife. Hazel eyes that pierced through my beating heart, and finally the member that stood between his legs, leaving me scarred for life.I yelped out in excitement, my voice sounding like a teenager who had just met her crush. The image was stuck in my memory, and occasionally, I found myself revisiting it, perhaps even dreaming of it.Gina didn't g
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 44: Echoes of the woods
NARAH'S POV “You haven't fixed my bath water, and you lost my f**king cat,” Gina snapped at me, her voice sharp as broken glass.I tried to explain calmly that she was still asleep when I arrived, and I had made sure the door was securely locked when I left, but she wouldn't give me listening ears. Frustrated, her eyes kept darting around the room, from one corner to the next, searching for her pet.Gina’s frustration was evident as she crouched, checking under the bed. She said, “I have no one to blame but you. It’s your f**king fault Rufus is gone.” She raised her head, her eyes, burning with anger, met mine. “And why the f**k are you just standing there?” she snapped. Standing up, she closed her eyes and clasped her hands together in a desperate prayer. “Rufus, my baby,” she whimpered, her voice cracking with anguish, “I will kill this maid in front of me if anything happens to you. I'll make sure this maid pays. May the moon goddess bear me witness today.”Her threat was chillin
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 45: The weight of destiny
ALPHA VAN'S POV“And what are we to have here? Alpha Van, the ruthless now turned what?” Jeremiah’s voice cut through the air, laced with sharp contempt and a hint of sarcasm.I chuckled, meeting his gaze. There was the same fierce light in his eyes that I remembered from our youth. Jeremiah had been primed to be Alpha, but had gently stepped aside, leaving me in his stead.“The prodigal son finally returned home,” I said steadily, a touch of melancholy in my voice.“And I heard that the ruthless Alpha is not so ruthless anymore, or is he?” Jeremiah’s tone was both mocking and curious, as if he were testing the waters of our old friendship.I glanced back at the distant figures inside the hall, then turned my attention back to him. Despite the tension, I couldn't suppress a genuine smile. “I've missed you,” I admitted, the words feeling heavy with unspoken history.Jeremiah stepped closer and embraced me, his frame towering over mine. There was a solidity to him that I had always admi
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 46: The witch's revelation
NARAH'S POVThe girl’s amber eyes glinted with an unsettling mix of curiosity and amusement, she said, “It took you so long to hear my call.”The music had ceased abruptly, leaving only the faint rustling of leaves and my quickened breaths filling the clearing. I asked, surprised, “What do you mean?”As she started to walk closer toward me, I stepped back and picked up a stick, holding it straight ahead like a sword, trying to warn her that I was dangerous. The scenery only made her laugh. “Is that supposed to make me steer clear?” She asked. I nodded. “Well, It’s not going to work, I assure you. I’m Liora.”I became highly alert and prepared to confront her as she extended her hand for a handshake. She didn’t appear scared and maintained her composure, continuing to offer her hand, which I dismissively rejected with a stern look.“No?” She asked. I shook my head and she shoved her hand back into the pockets of her dark hoodie.“How do you know my name?”“The night of the hunt. I saw
Broken trust: Luna's awakening CHAPTER 47: Fractured allegiance
LIORA'S POV “Where are you coming from?” I halted abruptly, my heart pounding as though it had skipped a beat. Sneaking around had never been my forte; Anakiyus had always been one step ahead, and tonight was no different. His presence here, waiting in the shadows, confirmed he’d been searching for me. I turned slowly, my breath catching as I faced him. Nas, standing across the room, flashed an awkward smile that did little to ease the tension. “Anakiyus,” I said, forcing a polite tone, though my pulse quickened. “It’s been a pleasure meeting you, but I must be going now.” As I moved to slip past him towards my room, his voice cut through the air like a blade. “Don’t you dare make a move, young miss.” The stern command made me freeze, my hand halfway to the door leading upstairs. The flickering light from the nearby lamp cast sharp shadows across his face, highlighting the intensity in his eyes. It was as if I could almost feel the weight of Anakiyus's disapproval pressing do
