Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 30. Wild & Harm
Claire P.O.VThe woman took care of the cut on my elbow and a few other bruises I had. I still didn't know her name, but I could feel her kindness; it made me forget I was in a challenging situation."It's not the typical hospital stuff, but I promise you, the remedies we use here will help you heal way faster than what you'd get there," she said, her expression steady and reassuring.Once everyone was patched up, we sat by a cosy bonfire, enjoying drinks. The warmth wrapped around us as we chatted quietly, trying not to disturb those who had drifted off to sleep."This is surprising, isn't it?""Yea—sorry?""You watched us attack Alpha Ethan's packhouse, causing chaos and taking out some Warriors. But we just chilled by the campfire, looking all good, even after what went down."I nodded slightly, feeling what was being said."Yeah, I get it. You probably think we're all just a bunch of weirdos with dreams about things we shouldn't be fighting over since we're Rogue Wolves with no la

Ethan P.O.VI let out a painful groan as a team of doctors stitched up the wound on my chest. This scar is a reminder of that damn Rogue.I'm pretty amazed by what they've accomplished. Every time they've attacked here, they've never resorted to weapons like I did to take them down. But this time, they've got a clear target.And it's someone I never expected them to go after—the person I just brought into this Pack two days ago. Is the word about my Luna spreading that quickly? "Do you need anything else, Alpha?" Dr. Pack asked after stitching up all my wounds and cleaning the blood off me.The pain was still there, but I knew it wasn't from the wolfsbane. If they had used that as poison, they would have been the ones in trouble first."No, but if you have any medicine, I'd like to take it. I want to heal up quicker.""Absolutely, Alpha."The doctor pulled out some medicine wrapped in a few small paper packets. After explaining when I should take them, he and his assistant quickly le

Ethan P.O.VThe whole mansion was in total chaos. It was a complete disaster, and there were plenty of injured folks around. I hadn't heard of any fatalities from my Warriors, but I saw them bury a Rogue Wolf that I took down."Alpha, you really should take a break," one of the Warriors reminded me about my injuries.You're right. I could use some rest. But right now, I can't stop worrying about Claire's safety. They wouldn't have done anything to her, right? Still, I can't shake the feeling that they might try to use her for their own plan.I gazed at the forest, a place that felt like home. I've been part of this Pack since I was a kid, growing up here and knowing every inch of this land, right up to the mountain's edge. So, while everyone else was busy tidying up and helping the injured, I decided to step into the woods.But just a few steps in, I felt a hand on my shoulder, which made me halt. I turned to see Chen Lien standing there."Are you planning to hand your soul to the Rogu

Ethan P.O.VThe woman just smiled and shook her head at what I said."Why would you think that, Alpha Ethan?" she replied. "I don't see it that way nor the people living with me. We're all about peace, even after losing everything we once had.""But you've taken so many of my people!" I yelled at her."Is that so? Then why not consider it self-defence?" she countered."Those of you who attacked first, why act like you're the ones being wronged now?"The middle-aged woman smiled at me instead of responding. She acted like she hadn't said anything and completely ignored the points clashed with her idealistic views."I really don't like having to lie to people. I could argue with you, but I'm not interested, Alpha Ethan. I'd much rather you come back with all the elders from your Pack so we can have a proper discussion instead of this back-and-forth," she said.He said many things that made me uneasy, making me seem like the bad guy here. But honestly, I never intended to do anything wro

Ethan P.O.VI completely wrapped Lucy's body up, not exposing a single thread. I thought being with her every day would be an amazing experience once I returned.But it just doesn't feel the same. The passion is off, and I can't find the pleasure I had right before I met Claire, my destined mate.It's all so surprising—why is my mate the one I've been searching for instead? Someone meant to bring me more power and strength has bound me instead.I have no doubt that Christopher Gale will track her down eventually.Once I ensured Lucy was sound asleep, I hopped out of bed and jumped in the shower.The scratches on my chest looked way better than they did a few hours ago, which was a good sign that they didn't use poison this time. I needed to figure out what that old lady said about who kicked off this whole 'hunting' mess.I threw on a black T-shirt before heading out. I initially planned to check in on Chen Lien in the study. Still, instead, I ran into Octa and Elvis, who were just ha

Claire P.O.VThis helps you feel a bit cozier. Lady Andara handed me a steaming cup of tea.The day had gone by, but the sun still hadn't appeared. This spot is nestled at the bottom of a valley, surrounded by thick trees blocking the sunlight, but we were in a clearing that allowed us to gaze up at the sky. Still, the air was pretty chilly."Thanks a lot," I said as I took the cup from her.I don't know if this is their usual routine. Still, everyone in the camp had gathered in one spot that morning, cooking breakfast together, sitting around the campfire, and enjoying the meal they had prepared."Would you like some bread or a warm bowl of porridge for breakfast?" Lady Andara asked me again after handing me a steaming cup of tea.I shook my head. "No, I'm not hungry, but I really appreciate it.""I just hope you can eat something before your Alpha comes to get you," she said once more.I smiled, dismissing the thought. "I'm not the one he wants. There's no way he's coming for me. He

Claire P.O.VA hard slap hit my left cheek, and it stung like crazy. It was burning and hurt a lot. On top of that, I was bombarded with a torrent of curses and insults. Lucy completely embarrassed me in front of everyone who had come to get me in the middle of the woods, acting like I was some criminal who had just wrecked a Pack.Meanwhile, everyone, including Ethan, just stood there with blank faces, letting Lucy unleash her fury with all the nasty words she could think of."I can't believe you're still letting her stick around in this Pack when she hasn't done anything for us!" Lucy kept throwing those comments at me, making me feel worthless."Ethan! Why don't you just reject her? What's the point of keeping someone like her around like this?!"Everyone was taken aback by Lucy's words. Danny and the Elder, who had joined us after we returned from the forest, exchanged confused glances, clearly puzzled. But Ethan? He didn't seem bothered by what Lucy said about me."What are you j

Ethan P.O.VWhen Christopher Gale’s eyes landed on the second floor, I couldn’t help but grind my teeth in frustration. It was infuriating that that damn Alpha had managed to find her in our Pack.I shifted my position just enough to block Christopher Gale’s line of sight to Claire. I knew she was too headstrong to follow my orders, and with her being here, I figured Chen Lien was also struggling to keep her in check.“You’re being overly cautious, Alpha Ethan,” Christopher Gale said, turning his focus back to me.I thought my little maneuver had distracted him from Claire, but now he looked a bit miffed. Still, I just smiled at the guy with an inflated ego, acting like I had the upper hand. I joked, “Shouldn’t I be on my toes since I’ve got a guest from a big, powerful group like The Moon Fall Pack?”He chuckled at my compliment or somewhat cowardly vibe this time. Honestly, I was the one who suggested giving her a shot at something way bigger than she ever thought she could have. B

Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 69. Breakfast & Nausea
Ethan's P.O.VJust like yesterday, Claire was nowhere to be seen at the dining table. I wanted to order someone to go fetch her, but with Lucy here, I couldn’t risk it. After everything I discussed with Andara Spectra last night, it felt safer to keep Claire far away from Lucy. “You remember we still have that meeting with Lady Apike, the wolf noble from the Lycan clan, right?” Lucy suddenly broke the silence during our meal. “I know. I’ll—” “She wants to meet your ‘real’ Luna. The one chosen by the Moon Goddess.” Lucy cut me off, her words making my chest tighten in shock. Wait, meet my real Luna? Was she implying I had to bring Claire to this meeting? “Why would I do that? There’s no reason for it.” I refused with a single sentence, hoping she wouldn’t speak again or say things like this. Because honestly, the more I heard, the more uncomfortable I felt.Right. I couldn’t possibly bring Claire. That meeting might spell trouble for her—especially for the child she’s carrying.

Ethan’s POV“What did you say? What are you getting at?” I asked them fow what they saying.Andara smiled. There was nothing sinister in her manner or speech. I recognized that, but hearing her speak about things I didn't understand, why should I trust her?“You don't have to believe me, Alpha. However, you should know that Lady Halle's mental state worsens day by day. When she came to me today, there was no happiness on her face. Even when I told her she was pregnant, it was as if she wanted to terminate the child—”I was furious, but as I moved toward Andara to throttle her, Oscar stepped between us, preventing me from doing anything.“What do you mean by ‘terminate’?” I growled. I demanded answers for all the words they said to me.“A Luna like Lady Halle wouldn't think to argue with your fiancée, Lady Torrance, who is the daughter of an Alpha from the Western territories. I don't recommend such a course either, but if Lady Torrance learns of this before you do, the worst-case scen
Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 67. Coming Home & News
Ethan’s POVSince my return, I still haven’t seen Claire or the others. Even the warriors I assigned to protect her are nowhere in sight. Are they really okay? No. I’m worried. Ever since Lucy came back, something feels off. She’s way more sensitive than before—edgy even—and has gotten harsher and more arrogant compared to what I remember. Not that I mind her attitude. Honestly, I’ve been worse, especially when it comes to how she’s been treating Claire. One thing’s crystal clear: Lucy’s acting this way because she wants Claire gone from the packhouse. It’s obvious. No woman wants another woman hanging around her man. Even though Lucy isn’t my Luna, we’ve been together long enough for her to know me better than most—though maybe not all the way to my core. Back from work, I’m on the back balcony, staring at the massive yard and the door leading to the forest beyond. I used to leave that area unguarded. But after Claire was kidnapped, I couldn’t afford to make that mistake ag

Claire's P.O.V"Why do you seem much gloomier than the last time we met, Lady Halle?" Andara Spencer handed me a cup of warm tea.It was the same question that had been asked by several people I had met recently. Am I really that gloomy? Do I really show my jealousy so clearly on my face for everyone to see?I shook my head. "I've just been feeling a bit more tired than usual lately," I replied."Oh, have you consulted with a doctor at the mansion?" This time Andara looked worried.The woman who indirectly became the mediator and leader of the Rogue Wolves in this neutral forest area had openly shown her concern for me since we first met, when I was kidnapped to this place.I had heard that Andara was a former Elder who held power in The Moon Fall Pack, but unable to endure the cruelty of Christopher Gale, the false Alpha, Andara fled and eventually joined the Rogue Wolves."Lady Halle prefers to rest in her room rather than call a doctor. And she always insists that she is fine," Oct

Ethan's P.O.VI saw her walking away with Danny. She looked quite thin compared to the last time I saw her. I'm not sure if she lost a lot of weight or not. The servants also said she’s been eating too little lately—much less than when we were in the Philippines.I still remember how she bought so much food that it drained quite a bit of my savings account just to fill her belly during those days in the Philippines."Ethan, you remember our meeting with Sir Huggess is in an hour, right? Why don’t we hurry?" Lucy's voice shattered my focus.I quickly shifted my gaze from Claire. I knew Lucy would be furious if she realized I was being too excessive."I get it. What about the preparations?" I asked to her."My assistant will handle what Danny was supposed to do."Ah, holy crap! I should’ve just sent Gilbert along with the strongest Warriors to guard Claire and that old woman in the forest, not Danny, so I wouldn’t make Lucy this angry."Danny has far better skills than Gilbert.

Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 64. Worry & Stare
Claire's P.O.VIt's been a week since I last talked to Chen Lien. Ever since our fight, everything has felt awkward. It's as if I'm trying to cover up my own anger, and then I take it out on someone else.It's really embarrassing, maybe I should apologize to him when we meet again later.However, since that day I haven't seen Chen Lien, I have been spending more time in my room, and even my appetite has gotten worse since returning from the Philippines. Almost no food can go into my mouth, and everything I smell seems really bad, even though it looks delicious."This is horrible, how am I supposed to get my revenge on Christopher Gale if I can't even get food into my body?" I mumbled while lying down and hugging my bolster pillow.The smell of this mattress has completely become my own, nothing left. I had hoped there would be some of Ethan's scent left, but there's absolutely nothing I can smell from Ethan.Oh, my God... What was I thinking? Hasn't Ethan not come here ever since Lucy

Claire's P.O.V"Are you alone waiting for dawn in this place, my lady?"Chen Lien startled me as I sat and looked at the forest, which seemed much calmer than my mind. I'd heard he had returned from work but hadn't seen him at the dining table. So I chose to wait for him here instead of asking Ethan.I don't know why, but I felt he would come if I waited, as if he knew I was thinking about him and hoped to chat with him."What took you so long?" I said, making him jump."Were you waiting for me?""Of course, I hoped to talk to you about a few things, but you took so long I forgot what I wanted to say.""Oh, woe is me for not arriving sooner. Should I turn back time?"I chuckled. "Why would you want to turn back time? It wouldn't be fun because you wouldn't get the same surprise after I told you I forgot what to say.""Oh, crap! I'd still have to pretend to be surprised."I couldn't stop laughing. It felt like I was chatting with my best friend, even though Chen Lien was merely Ethan R

62. Truth & SaveEthan P.O.VShe eats very little. Since we returned from the Philippines, she seems much quieter than before. Is it because she's still thinking about what I said, about explaining everything to her after a week?Honestly, I didn't want to say this, but seeing her like this, I feel like I have no choice. But of all the things I've learned, one thing still baffles me—the bodies of the orphans and the nuns.Because, of all the bodies that should have been there, only Sister Maria's remained. She was the nun killed by the Shadow Warrior back then. Nothing else was left."What are you thinking about?" Chen Lien snapped me out of my reverie. "Has something happened?""It's about Claire," I said."What's wrong with her now?" he looked worried.Of course, Chen Lien would be worried. The last time I remember, he declared that he liked Claire right in front of me. And because of that, he never strayed too far from this place, just to make sure Claire was still okay in my hands
Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 61. MEMORY & TEARS
Claire's P.O.VAfter getting back from the Philippines, I barely saw Ethan. He was mostly buried in work, though he didn’t need to travel overseas like before. Danny mentioned that his duties in the Pack were keeping him busy enough, so no more far-flung trips.Naturally, Danny stuck to me like glue, always around as if Ethan had ordered him not to leave me alone for a second.Besides that, I hardly ever saw Lucy Torrance hanging around the packhouse. No clue what went down with them, but since we returned, things seemed a bit off between Ethan and Lucy."Anything else you need, Lady Halle?" Danny asked, ever so polite.What did I just hear? It's quite unpleasant, although I can't outright refuse, but to be honest I don't have much confidence in myself to get all these things full of manners."You gotta stop treating me like that," I said to him. "Just treat me like you did when I first arrived. No need to be so formal with me, and don’t make me feel like I deserve special treatment."
