Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 18. Broken Heart & The Arrival
Claire P.O.VWhat?! A Fiancee?My hands were trembling after I heard that news. My breathing got out of whack because I was in shock, realizing that my gut feeling was spot on. Ethan and Lucy aren't just dating; they're engaged.I shouldn't have been too shocked, but wasn't I supposed to be his destined mate? I'm his Luna, right? So why does he have a fiancée? A million questions raced through my mind, especially why Ethan would do this to me.Before I could process it all, the car pulled up to the airport. Ethan, after dropping the bomb about Lucy being his fiancée, just went quiet. He didn't even try to explain why he brought me to this Pack when he was already committed to someone else. A She-Wolf he chose to be with.I kept my head down and took hesitant steps as I trailed behind Ethan toward the airport's main lobby. Tears were on the verge of spilling, but I fought to hold them back. I didn't want Ethan to see me cry and think I was weak."Oh my god! I've been trying to reach yo

Ethan P.O.V"Did she ever meet Lucy?" Chen Lien suddenly threw that question at me. Naturally, I replied with a yes.When I probed him about it, he shot me a smile laced with anger, which sparked another question in my mind."Why's that?""You're being too reckless.""What do you mean by that?"He looked at me like I had committed some major blunder, and it seemed to disappoint him more than anything. Usually, no matter how poorly I perform, Chen Lien always finds something nice to say. But right now, everything just feels off."Now look at her; she's probably super jealous, which could mess up our whole plan."Jealous? Why would he even feel that way? That's ridiculous.""If I'm just rambling, then why did he rush to his room? He didn't say a word to you, did he?""Can you just drop it? I don't want to hear this.""But you need to consider it if you want to get what you're after, right? Just remember to be nice to him first." He said as he strolled off.Seeing Chen Lien walk away mad

Claire P.O.V I let out a sigh and leaned back in my chair. No matter how long Chen Lien and I had been friends, it felt like I could never really understand what was happening in her head. We might as well have been strangers."What if I don't treat her right?" I muttered, glancing up at the ceiling with another long sigh. I shouldn't have acted so childishly in front of Ethan and his friends, who had always been decent to me. Not that I could call what they did a real favor.It was too early to hit the hay, but I felt awkward to walk outside. Embarrassed and guilty about my behavior, I just sat on the edge of the bed, staring out the window at the tall trees in the forest.I had been living in a dorm but found peace whenever I wandered into the little forest behind it. A short stroll there would help clear my mind instead of obsessing over the silly stuff about Ethan and Lucy.After thinking, I finally left the room and headed to the forest to clear my head. I wasn't sure what kind o

Claire P.O.VChen Lien handed me a plate piled high with crepes, grilled sausage, tacos, a sandwich slice, and a soda. It felt like too much food, especially since he had a meal."Why just stare? Dig in! At least if you're full, you won't be tempted to do something silly like wandering into the woods.""I've done that plenty of times.""You might know where you're headed, but you have no clue about the dangers lurking around," he replied, taking a bite of his sandwich.I watched him as a few strands of his long hair danced in the breeze, and his jawline looked striking from the side. I've seen a lot of Asian guys on TV, and they're definitely good-looking with those soft features, but I never imagined they could look this stunning up close."Why are you looking at me like that?"I was caught off guard when Chen Lien noticed me staring. I quickly turned my head, but then he shot me a grin, showing off his dimple on just one side."Do I seem like a stranger, or maybe a bit sinister?" he

Ethan P.O.VI felt a gentle warmth on my chest while I was out on the balcony, taking a puff. Lucy wrapped her arms around me, planting soft kisses on my back. It was the same sweet kiss I always got, and I should be feeling over the moon with all this love from her. But honestly, it just feels hollow right now."What's on your mind?" Lucy asked, her hand resting on my abs. It tickled a bit, but it didn't really spark anything."I'm just trying to figure out how to make a solid offer for the exchange," I said.But that wasn't the real thought running through my head. There was something more profound, but I kept it simple to avoid stirring up unnecessary drama between us.Lucy shifted, now standing before me, wrapped only in a sheet, with nothing else on her.Her curves are so perfectly shaped; I can't help but want to touch them all the time. Honestly, after we hook up, I just want to chill and enjoy that moment."How about we devise a clever plan to buy some time until Christopher G

Claire P.O.VI pushed Ethan away from me, and it felt like I was trying to move a massive tree—heavy and totally zapping my energy."Can you just back off a bit?""Why should I?""Because you're giving off way too many pheromones. It's like drowning in a bucket of perfume I'm not a fan of." I explained.I even took a few steps back to keep his scent from mixing with Lucy's. I don't hate his pheromones since he's my mate, but how they blend with She-Wolf's scent is just not cool for us.The mixed scent hit me hard, and I had to swallow. It was really uncomfortable to keep breathing it in. I even turned my face away from Ethan, secretly hoping he'd get mad and just walk away."Are you with Lucy? Why are you still here? Go meet her." I spun around, trying to shake off this guy who was way too hard to resist.No way. I could say no. I'd probably do it when I realized there was no reason for me to stick around with him, even if the moon goddess had other plans for us. The strength of our b

Claire P.O.V"What are you up to over there?" Ethan asked, looking pretty annoyed.I could see the frustration and irritation written all over his face. It felt like he had come here just to take it out on me. But honestly, I didn't want to let it bother me.He stepped closer, and I noticed he looked more put together that afternoon. Like Chen Lien mentioned, Ethan and I had been busy with something outside.His long black coat fluttered a bit as he moved. I wasn't sure when he started wearing it, but I could still see his cologne mixed with Lucy's scent.Sure thing! No one could break their bond, especially with all those pheromones flying around when they were together."Are you trying to make a run for it?" he asked, just a short distance away.What was that all about? If I really wanted to, I might have pulled a Chen Lien and jumped out the window. But here I was, stuck in this situation, not wanting to make things worse."If I wanted to leave, why are you still here with me?" Eth

Claire P.O.VI shoved Ethan back hard enough that he slammed against the bathroom wall. He looked pretty upset, but I wasn't about to let him keep holding onto me like he had any control over the situation."How could you do this to me?""Just get out! Didn't you get what you came for?" I shot back, feeling furious.After that, I jumped in the shower and sprayed water all over him, soaking and making him even angrier. I noticed Ethan trying to inch closer, but the water I directed at him felt like my shield. I could still back away a bit until he finally gave up.He shot me a sharp look, and for a moment, the guy just froze, then suddenly yanked the shower from my hands. I was terrified, thinking Ethan might lash out at me for what I did, but instead, he just gripped the shower with this icy stare before tossing it to the floor."I'll be waiting for you downstairs in twenty minutes." He said that and then walked out.Watching him storm off, soaked and furious, I felt guilt. But I'd be

Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 46. Lie & Liar
Claire P.O.V“I don’t get what you’re saying, sir. Nothing is tying me to Ethan Randall.” I tried to keep eye contact with him, even though deep down, I was terrified.Yes, I was terrified. His eyes held a chilling power that made my feet turn to ice. My body trembled, but I fought to keep it under control. I knew he would relish in my fear, thinking he had won by using Ethan Randall’s name to crush me.The man sighed, exhaling the last cigar smoke, then tossed the half-lit cigar out the window. It looked like he was throwing away trash, but from his actions, it seemed like he was gearing up to say something new to me.“I know you’re a good girl, and it’s not right for you to stay under Ethan Randall’s thumb, especially considering he could ditch you anytime.” Yep, he was getting started.I knew it was a provocation, and I was sure this guy had a problem with Ethan just by seeing him once back then. So, I just shook my head and smiled, responding calmly to everything he said.“I find
Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 45. Night Market & The Stranger
Claire P.O.V“How long do you want to stand there? Come in. Didn’t you want to go to the night market like you talked about when you were on a flight?”Ethan urged me to move on. He was already behind the wheel, wearing a grey blazer over a black t-shirt. A t-shirt might not fit his personality, but seeing him in it with that blazer made it work. At least he didn’t look like a gangster.I quickly hopped in, sat right beside him, and buckled up. For a moment, everything seemed normal. But then, I realized this was the first time I’d seen Ethan drive alone. He never did that; even when he picked me up at the beachfront restaurant the other day, he let Danny do that. Never once had he driven himself.Of course, he has plenty of people who’d happily do that for him.“Where’s Chen Lien? Isn’t he coming?” I asked after buckling up.“Now he’s on meeting with another client.”“About your drugs?”Ethan gave a slight smile. “Do you think that’s all my business is about?”“Then what else? Isn’t

Claire P.O.VIt feels totally insane. How could I be so mad and lock myself up when I'm in a place I might never get to visit again in my life?So, after I saw Ethan leave with Chen Lien and the others, I went downstairs, planning to explore the whole city—my first time in this foreign place. But when I reached for the door handle, a guard stopped me, asking me not to leave the villa under any circumstances."I just want to look around,” I said.“You still have to wait for Alpha Ethan to come back.""I'm not waiting for that jerk to return. I don't even know where he went or why!" I fumed, feeling like I was arguing over nothing."You can wait in your room until that happens." He tried to touch my hand, but I quickly stepped away. Because I knew if I complied, I'd be locked in that room."Can you cooperate with us?" the man asked. "If Alpha Ethan finds out you escaped, it won't just be you who gets punished; we'll be dead too."I narrowed my eyes. "Dead? Is that your job in contract?"
Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 43. A Cigar & Bastard
Ethan P.O.VAfter ensuring I had control over the situation, Chen Lien and I headed straight to Huang, Shanghai’s biggest gambling district. It’s not as large as Chengzu, but it has enough business space for me.As I puffed on my cigarette, Chen Lien scanned the surroundings, making sure no one was around to interrupt our deal, especially Alesio’s men. That bastard, I’m sure he’ll do anything to get what he hasn’t managed to take from me yet.The car that brought us to the location stopped in front of a small love hotel flanked by large casino buildings on both sides. Even though it was a small hotel, I was pretty surprised when I entered because the people there weren’t ordinary folks; they were all couriers and small-time dealers surviving by scamming and selling a bit of stuff from people like me.Besides them, I also saw a few officials sitting with sexily dressed prostitutes, perfectly curved bodies and round chests prominently displayed, using their charms to entice the perverte
Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 42. A Smoke & The Phone
Ethan P.O.VWhen we all arrived at Hongqiao Airport, just as Chen Lien said, his people were already waiting for us with a few cars parked by the runway. They looked like they'd been waiting since morning, and seeing them open the car doors as soon as I stepped off the plane made me believe that Chen Lien was someone worth considering for a long-term partnership.I took my usual spot in the back seat, followed by Claire, who sat next to me at Chen Lien's request, while he sat in the front with the driver who then drove us away from the airport.Not used to sitting next to Claire, who just stayed silent around me, I rolled down the window and lit a cigarette, letting the smoke drift partly outside and partly towards Claire, making her uncomfortable.As I was enjoying my smoke, my phone rang. I didn't recognize the number, but whoever it was, if they were calling me, it had to be business."You're a real man, Ethan Randall." The voice on the other end was raspy, chuckling, though I had

Ethan P.O.VMy eyes were glued to Claire and Chen Lien chatting away. It looked super fun, but I just couldn't bring myself to join in. Even though I'm tight with Chen Lien, I can't chat that closely with him without feeling like I'm lowering my self-esteem in front of them.Even though they were just a few steps away, sitting right next to my seat, I had no clue what they were actually talking about. They were laughing like they didn't even think about the trouble I went through yesterday because of what they did. No, not them, but what Claire did.I snorted, turned my face away, and focused on the clouds outside the window. It made me feel a bit better than just watching them chat."Alpha, do you need anything?" Danny suddenly asked after taking a seat in front of me."No. But tell me, are they at the transaction spot yet?""Of course, Alpha. They're already there. But before I told them we were coming, I said we'd be a few hours late because you had other stuff to handle.""Why did

Claire P.O.VI felt the thick white liquid melting from my pussy. Meanwhile, I no longer saw Ethan Randall in that room. Not anywhere.When I got up and lowered my legs from the bed, I found my body covered in bluish blotches, starting from my thighs and going all the way down to my collarbone. My body was so sore. It was like I had just fought a grueling battle. Not part of my body could feel; everything was numb.“Ack!”My knees felt completely weak, and I just collapsed. This is wild! What could have driven Ethan Randall to do something so terrible to me?Was it about that shady deal he struck with the Roughs? Or his bond with Chen Lien? Or was it just because I suddenly wished he would turn me down?No way, that’s the whole story. But what’s really going on? If I’m to blame, why did the Rogue Wolves take me instead of Lucy Spencer? She’s been his fiancée all along, right? So why me?I honestly didn’t have the energy to get up, so I just sat there on the floor, trying to forget tha

Ethan P.O.VI heard someone knocking on the door repeatedly from outside. Before I could say anything, she swung the door open and walked in, looking confused, her hair a bit damp and her voice shaking.“Did you want me to come here?” she asked.“What happened to your hair?” I brushed off her question and went straight for what I wanted.She was checking herself out. I realized I was mistaken; it wasn’t just her hair that was wet—some of her clothes were, too, and she casually claimed she was okay.This was really frustrating. While I was defending her like a madman in front of Christopher Gale, she was just messing around with me, using words I didn’t appreciate and wearing that annoying look that only she seemed to understand.I was getting really annoyed, so I stepped closer to her. I grabbed her damp hair, forcing her to look up and meet my gaze. Her face shifted, showing real pain, and I could hear a soft groan escape her lips.“W—what are you doing?!”“Why do you have to complic

Ethan P.O.VBam!Christopher Gale slammed his fist on the table, clearly furious. I could see his fangs peek out when he smirked, and his eyes glowed a bright gold. His ears began to sharpen, almost like he was on the verge of becoming a wolf just because I mentioned keeping Claire for myself.“Don’t mess with me, Alpha Ethan,” he growled.The Beta and a few warriors with him looked uneasy, and I could already hear Danny’s voice in my head, suggesting he should come in.“I’ve made plenty of promises to those who can bring that woman to me, so what more do you want? Isn’t it enough that I’m offering you what we both desire?”I chuckled while hiding my face. My loud laughter echoed through the spacious room, transforming the quiet into a mix of shock and tension on everyone’s faces.“What makes you think my words are funny?” She was definitely getting riled up. I figured I might have pushed a button.“Of course it was funny, Alpha Christopher,” I replied. “Out of all the secrets no one
