ANNIKA'S POV

The faint glow of candlelight flickered across the room, casting long shadows on the walls as I lay beneath Logan. His hands moved across my skin with ease, but his mind wasn’t here. I could see it in the way his eyes glazed over, in the half-hearted way he whispered my name. It was routine, mechanical, like he was going through the motions because it was expected of him.

I bit back the frustration bubbling within me, determined to pull him back to the present. I wrapped my arms around his neck and tilted his chin toward me. “Logan,” I whispered, my voice soft but commanding.

He hummed, his focus flickering for a brief moment before slipping away again.

“Look at me,” I urged, tightening my grip.

His gaze finally met mine, but before I could revel in the connection, he murmured, “Arianna…”

The world seemed to tilt on its axis.

I froze, every muscle in my body locking in place. Had I misheard him? My heart thundered in my chest as I stared up at him, searching f

It would be crystal clear.” I stated and he scoffed unbuttoning the top button of his shirt. “Annika, you're my Luna. You should be satisfied with that.” “I'm not satisfied with that. You're my Alpha, you owe me your attention, I see the way you drool at my younger cousin simply because she looks like Arianna. At this rate, it won't be long before you turn to a pedophile.” “Don't ever say that again.” He stated firmly before walking out on me shutting the door like he was transferring the anger. He always left early now. No goodbye, no kiss, not even a note. My chest tightened as I glanced toward the door he’d walked out of, likely heading was calling for. “Arianna…” he’d groaned, his eyes half-closed, lost in the haze of his desires. I’d frozen beneath him, my entire body stiffeni

    Chapter 39 Annika’s POV With every step, branches scratched my cloak, and the damp earth sucked at my boots. The sun had dipped below the horizon, leaving the woods bathed in shadows. A sliver of moonlight cut through the canopy above, guiding me deeper into rogue territory. I clutched the note the alchemist had sent, her cryptic words etched in shaky handwriting. “Follow the wolf’s fang, and you’ll find me.” My fingers traced the drawing of a jagged stone she’d mentioned, the one now visible just ahead. The boulder rose like a lone sentinel, its shape resembling a broken canine tooth. The air grew heavier the closer I got, thick with the stench of herbs and smoke. My pulse quickened, but I forced myself forward, refusing to let fear slow me down. “Come out,” I called, my voice steady despite the tightness in my throat. “I’m here.” A figure emerged from the shadows, draped in tattered robes that trailed the ground. The alchemist’s face was obscured by a hood, but her luminou

    Chapter 40 Arianna’s POV “Do you like roses, Marcia?” I asked as we knelt together in the garden. “They’re beautiful, Luna,” Marcia said softly, her hands delicately brushing the petals of a freshly bloomed flower. “But they’re also strong. They endure the harshest winds and still bloom.” I smiled, enjoying the peaceful moment. “You sound like someone who appreciates resilience.” She looked at me, her hazel eyes searching mine. “Resilience is...necessary.” There was a wistfulness in her tone, something unspoken lingering just beneath the surface. I reached out, touching her arm gently. “You seem to understand that all too well.” Marcia offered a small, almost bashful smile before returning her focus to the roses. “You’re very kind, Luna.” “Call me Arianna,” I said, grinning. “I think we’ve spent enough time together to drop the formalities, don’t you?” Marcia hesitated, her hands stilling for a moment. Then she nodded. “Thank you...Arianna.” Later that evening, as Ser

    Arianna's POV “Sergio, she’s just a maid,” I said, exhaling deeply. “She’s not just a maid,” Sergio snapped, his eyes narrowing. “I’ve been Alpha long enough to know when someone is hiding something.” I crossed my arms, leaning back against the armrest of the couch. “She’s scared, Sergio. You confronted her like a criminal. Of course she panicked.” Sergio paced the room, his shoulders tense. The glow of the moon spilled through the window, illuminating his furrowed brows. “Arianna, I can’t ignore this. Something about her feels... wrong.” I sighed, running a hand through my hair. “Not everyone who’snervous has a hidden agenda. She’s new. She’s trying to adjust. Please, let it go.” His sharp gaze softened slightly as he turned to me. “You always see the good in people.” “And you see the bad,” I countered, offering a faint smile. “That’s why we balance each other.” Sergio finally sat down beside me, his hand finding mine. The warmth of his touch sent a ripple of comfort th

    Annika’s POV “How long do I have to wait?” I muttered under my breath, pacing the small servant’s quarters assigned to me. The room smelled faintly of lavender and wood polish, an ironic contrast to the storm brewing in my chest. The image of Arianna laughing with Sergio replayed in my mind, each laugh like a needle piercing my skin. The way they looked at each other—it was maddening. He looked at her like she was his entire world. “Marcia, you’re late for the meeting,” one of the maids called out, poking her head through the door. “I’ll be there in a moment,” I replied, forcing a smile. As soon as the door closed, the mask dropped. My lips curled into a sneer. She doesn’t deserve him. She’s just playing the role of a perfect Luna. But I see her. I see through her. She's just the same sly bitch that was beautiful suddenly for no reason, maybe I would have a reason not to hate her so much if only she was as obsesed as she was before. If only she was still that fat and ugly b

    Logan’s POV "Where is she?" I growled, slamming the glass tumbler down on my desk. My Beta flinched but didn’t dare meet my gaze. "Alpha, Annika said she’d be gone for Gamma training," he answered, his voice careful, measured. "Gamma training," I scoffed, the words bitter in my mouth. "It’s been days. No word. No messages. Nothing. Doesn’t she know I don’t have the patience for games?" Cole hesitated, and I could tell he wanted to say more, but his fear of my temper won out. Wise choice. “Before she left though, she mentioned that she told you and you approved.” He said carefully and I squinted my eyes? "She did” I questioned more rhetorical and then sighed. I can't remember when she ever told me something about gamma training. “Fine, leave!” I ordered, waving him off with a dismissive flick of my wrist. He left without another word, the door clicking shut behind him. The silence of my office was suffocating, and for the first time in days, I allowed my thoughts to wander.

    ANNIKA’S POV “Marcia, could you bring the Luna’s robe from the laundry room?” The head maid, called out, her voice sharp and brisk. I nodded quickly, keeping my head down. “Yes, ma’am,” I murmured, scurrying toward the hallway that led to the laundry room. It had been weeks of careful planning, precise actions, and playing the part of an obedient maid. I had convinced Arianna of my kindness and diligence, and she had begun to trust me. Sergio, on the other hand, was proving to be a thorn in my side. His eyes seemed to follow me everywhere. But I had come too far to let my nerves betray me now. As I entered the laundry room, the smell of freshly laundered clothes filled the air. I grabbed the Luna’s robe, soft and white like freshly fallen snow. “That scent...” A voice behind me froze me in place. I turned slowly, my stomach twisting into knots. It was Elsa, one of the senior maids. Her nose wrinkled as she sniffed the air, her head tilting slightly as if trying to place so

    ANNIKA’S POV “Marcia, can you bring the Luna’s water bottle from the kitchen? She left it behind,” The head maid instructed, her voice carrying authority. I nodded, forcing a smile. “Of course, Anna,” I replied, grabbing the bottle from the counter. My palms tingled with anticipation as I discreetly reach into the hidden pocket of my apron and pull out a small container of clear liquid. “This is it,” I muttered under my breath, unscrewing the cap and carefully pouring a few drops into the bottle. My hand shook slightly, but I steadied myself. “No mistakes this time. No one can trace it back to me.” I sealed the bottle and gave it a gentle shake before hurrying out of the kitchen. The training grounds buzzed with activity. Warriors sparred in pairs, their grunts and the clanging of metal echoing through the open space. Arianna stood near the edge, speaking animatedly with Sergio and a few senior guards. “Luna,” I called out, my voice sweet and subservient as I approached. “He

    à 34 Arianna’s POV My mouth fell open as I stared at Mia, the revelation knocking the breath out of me. “Y-you’re Sergio’s cousin?” I stammered, my eyes darting between the two of them. Mia stood there with a smirk plastered on her face, looking far too pleased with herself. Sergio, on the other hand, was barely holding back a grin. “Oh, come on, Arianna,” Mia teased, folding her arms. “Did you think I was just some random wolf who wandered in and decided to stick around?” I blinked, trying to process the information. “I mean...yes?” Sergio chuckled, his deep voice sending a strange warmth through me. “Mia’s been part of my life since we were pups. She’s practically a sister to me.” “But how?” I demanded, my voice rising. “When did she even get here? She wasn’t around when I first came to the pack.” Mia shrugged, clearly enjoying my confusion. “I arrived not long ago. Sergio called me back from an assignment when things started heating up with the rogues. I

    Chapter 70 ARIANNA'S POV I inhaled deeply, trying to steady my nerves as I walked toward the storage room where the healers kept the herbs and fresh towels. My hands were still slightly unsteady, my mind a tangled mess of emotions after everything that had just happened with Elena. The fight. The anger in her eyes. The way I had won—something I knew neither of us had expected. And then Alaric. I clenched my jaw, shaking my head as I pushed the thought away. Now wasn’t the time. I had come out here for a reason—to gather the herbs and towels for Sergio. I needed to focus on that, not on the way my body still felt charged from the confrontation, or the way Alaric had looked at me when he had stepped in. I forced my mind into a blank state, moving quickly as I gathered the things I needed. My fingers automatically picked out the right herbs—lavender for calming, comfrey for pain relief, and a few dried leaves of wolfsbane for disinfecting wounds. I grabbed a stack of soft l

    Chapter 69 ALARIC’S POV A sharp pain tore through my chest, an invisible force gripping my ribs and squeezing until I could barely breathe. I clenched my teeth, my hands balling into fists as I braced myself against the wave of agony rolling through me. My wolf howled in my head, a mournful, gut-wrenching sound that sent shivers down my spine. Damn it… I had expected the rejection to hurt—but not like this. It was as if claws were raking through my insides, tearing at the bond that once connected me to Elena. My body felt like it was burning from the inside out, and for the first time in years, I felt weak. Mia must have noticed because her brows furrowed with concern as she moved closer. "Alaric?" I sucked in a sharp breath, forcing myself to stay upright. "I’m fine," I gritted out. "Liar," she muttered. Before I could protest, she knelt beside me, her hands hovering uncertainly over my arm. "It’s the rejection, isn’t it?" I let out a rough exhale, beads of sweat formi

    Chapter 68 ALARIC'S POV The tension in my chest was unbearable. My mind replayed Elena’s broken expression over and over again, but I shoved the guilt aside. I knew I had done the right thing. Mia walked ahead of me, her posture stiff as she led me through the dimly lit halls. The silence between us was thick, filled with unspoken words. When we finally reached her room, she pushed the door open and stepped aside, gesturing for me to enter. I hesitated for a moment before stepping inside, the soft click of the door closing behind me sealing me in with my thoughts. Mia leaned against the wooden desk, her arms crossed over her chest as she studied me. Her sharp eyes were unreadable, but I could tell she had questions—ones she wouldn’t let me walk away from. "Sit," she said. I sighed but obeyed, sinking into the chair beside her bed. My body felt heavy, as if the weight of my decision had finally settled onto my shoulders. Mia exhaled and tilted her head slightly. "Why?" I

    ARIANNA'S POV Silence hung thick in the hallway, broken only by the sound of my uneven breathing. My hands still trembled, my body humming with the remnants of my power. My eyes had returned to their normal color, but the weight of what had just happened lingered, suffocating. Alaric’s hands were still on my shoulders, steady, grounding. But it wasn’t him I was looking at—it was Elena. She stood frozen a few feet away, her chest heaving, her lips pressed into a thin, angry line. The moment Alaric had stepped between us, her expression had changed—not just from rage, but something deeper. Fear? Alaric finally let out a slow, controlled breath, releasing me as he turned to face Elena. His presence seemed to darken, his authority rolling off him in waves. "Explain," he demanded, his voice sharp as a blade. Elena crossed her arms, her nails digging into her skin. "You saw what happened," she bit out. "I was putting her in her place." I clenched my jaw, anger flaring in

    Chapter 66 ARIANNA'S POV "You did this!" Elena's voice was raw with rage, her eyes blazing like molten gold. "You brought this curse upon him!" I clenched my fists, feeling the sting of my nails digging into my palms. "You think I wanted this?" My voice wavered, but I held my ground. "You think I wanted Sergio to get hurt? I would die before letting anything happen to him!" Elena sneered, stepping forward. "Yet here we are, Arianna. He’s fighting for his life because of you!" The accusation struck deep, a dagger to my already wounded heart. I swallowed the lump in my throat, forcing myself to meet her glare. "You don’t understand," I murmured. "Then make me understand!" she spat. "Because all I see is a mate who keeps bringing destruction to the man she claims to love!" Her words snapped something inside me. I had endured pain, betrayal, and loss, but this—being blamed for the one thing I feared most—was unbearable. "Enough." My voice came out low and deadly. "I have

    Chapter 65 Arianna’s POV As soon as we stepped inside, I guided Sergio toward the couch. His body was warm but trembling, a mixture of exhaustion and pain radiating from him. I felt it in the way he leaned into me, his grip firm around my waist, as if letting go would mean losing himself completely. “Sit down,” I murmured softly, brushing my fingers through his disheveled hair. “I’ll get some towels, oils, and herbs for your wounds.” His fingers tightened around my wrist just as I turned to leave. “Stay,” he whispered, his voice hoarse, carrying something unspoken, something fragile. My chest ached at the plea in his voice, but I shook my head gently. “I’ll be right back. Let me take care of you.” Sergio exhaled sharply but nodded. Just as I stepped away, he pulled me back, his fingers curling around mine, rough yet desperate. “Arianna…” His voice was barely above a whisper, almost pleading. Before I could ask what was wrong, his lips crashed against mine. A startled

  • Chasing His Stunning Luna   Episode 64

    Chapter 64 ARIANNA I felt my world crashing out as the revelation of what Alaric just told me hit me fully, given the kind of person he is even though I couldn't remember him yet as he said, I was very much aware that he wasn't bluffing. My life was falling apart. I was poisoned. My daughter was kidnapped. The pack was in a time of chaos because of me and yet I was all around throwing tantrums. What did the servant's think of me now? A self absorbed, non condescending Luna that didn't care about her people? That would absolutely be fair. If I were the one, I would have called myself way worse names. I gritted my teeth as I staggered into my room, shutting the door behind me. "Don't be too hard on yourself though, Zora." I heard Alaric yell as I pressed my back to the door, sliding all the way down till I landed on my butt with my knees crouched up. "Why is this happening to me?" Tears filled in my eyes ran down slowly as I began playing with my fingers while biting my lips
