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 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
Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 44. A Lie & A Good Girl
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
Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 41. A Lie & The Flight
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
Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 39. Anger & Coercion
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
