Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 47. Awareness & Nothingness
Claire P.O.VI tossed the food wrapper I just finished into the trash can that wasn't too far from us. Even though Ethan initially wanted us to leave the place immediately, I still wanted to enjoy the night outside the big villa, which felt stuffy, so we ended up staying here."You sure you don't wanna leave yet?""Of course. This is fun. Hearing street music that's different from my old place, seeing people with different clothes and ways of speaking, even different languages. It's just too fun to miss," I answered.Ethan clicked his tongue in annoyance and laughed at what I said. "Huh, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? You never even left that church dorm for years, right? So why are you talking like you're actually enjoying something you've missed?""I didn't go out often. But didn't I say that I often went with Sister Alberta to attend some important masses at big churches in several Packs? There's no reason for me to feel that this is my first time in a foreign place,

Ethan's P.O.VKill Claire Halle. Maybe that's the only way to break free from this bond. There might be other ways to sever our connection, but none seem as effective as killing Claire to cut all ties.Yet, a part of me rejects this plan. Killing isn't new to me—I've done it since I was thirteen. But I've never killed someone close to me. Sure, I've killed prostitutes who were spies for my business rivals, but never someone I slept with willingly.It's almost dawn, but I can't sleep. Usually, I'm more comfortable in foreign places than with my own Pack because I don't have to deal with Pack matters or see Lucy.I walk to the window and see that Shanghai's night is still bright, even though it's almost dawn. It should be quiet outside, with only the guardians on duty, but I see Chen Lien and Claire enjoying a bottle of wine and some food.I cross my arms, watching Chen Lien finish his work without reporting to me. Besides, didn't Claire eat a lot of snacks at the night market and even

Ethan P.O.VChen Lien placed a plastic bag containing a finger and several human teeth before me. Quite a sight to see, especially after I was so angry at the owner of these items on the plane yesterday.Feeling like I'd just been handed the sweetest gift, I smiled as I lifted the bag to examine it from above. "Look at this, how beautiful it is," I praised."I also got this from Don Azacha's kids," Chen Lien said, handing me a red folder filled with some very important papers, given their unpredictable source."Looks like they've figured out your moves from how you've been beefing with Alesio Huggman. So, after I handed over what you ordered, they immediately gave this to me."I put the bag of fingers and teeth back on the table and turned my attention to the folder Chen Lien had handed me. Upon opening it, I was surprised to find property deeds and land certificates for the entire Chengzu district. This is a stroke of luck I'll never get twice in a lifetime. Just by giving something

Claire P.O.VI should've known what to do with the offer from Christopher Gale. I'm not good at making decisions, but I also need to learn something about Christopher Gale and Ethan.But asking Ethan or Chen Lien directly feels like a conversation with my demise. Where else could I get information about this guy if not from Ethan or Chen Lien?I stared at Ethan, who hadn't moved an inch from his seat. This was rare, considering that during our trip to Shanghai a while back, Ethan was too busy to sit for even a minute at the villa, especially after our night market adventure. I spent more time with Chen Lien. But now, Chen Lien was nowhere to be seen.Since we returned to The Silver Fire Packhouse, my movements were restricted by Lucy Torrance's presence. Not because of her presence but because I didn't want to cause any drama with Ethan's fiancée.And the entire day after returning to the Silver Fire Pack, I holed up in my room, avoiding everyone, especially Lucy, who was always looki

Claire P.O.V"Why'd you bring me along?""You've asked this more than five times. Is it that interesting to keep asking?""There are a lot of inconsistencies in your reasons for bringing me. But it doesn't sound too bad if Lady Torrance isn't at the packhouse for a while like you said."Ethan was affected by my words. He glanced at me with a sharp look that should have scared me as usual, but I tried not to be influenced this time. So I looked at him as if I was never afraid of him."You're too bold to speak like that in front of me, Lady Halle.""For the first time, you call me that. Does it feel like we're someone who knows each other in an honourable condition? Oh, of course not. You raped me on the second day we met, and you are the only one responsible for me right now.""Why should I do that?" he asked.I should have answered immediately. But instead, I just rolled my eyes, looking out the window, showing a cityscape I didn't recognize. The Philippines, a country that seemed lik

Claire P.O.VDanny has been the Beta and Ethan Randall's right-hand man for nearly two decades. It's quite the perk for Danny; besides being the Beta, he knows the ins and outs of the money-printing business owned by the Alpha, the ruler of The Silver Fire Pack.Danny didn't answer my question immediately. He just stared at me with his light brown eyes—warm and bright colours, especially in the summer."Is it because the Alpha already has a fiancée that this is bugging you?"Finally, he replied. Even though it wasn't what I wanted to hear, it was impressive because Danny responded to my seemingly dumb question."Isn't that obvious?" I shot back. "If you're guarding someone who isn't your Luna, it's a waste of your time 'cause you're serving a stranger who will never be tied to your Pack.""Why do you think that? Isn't that the reason Alpha Ethan lets me be here? Is it because he's trying to keep you around? So—""Keep me around for what?" I cut him off. "Even the people I loved are no

Claire's P.O.VI've been waiting for Ethan Randall for almost thirty minutes now, with no clue what he's up to behind that worn-out wooden door.Propping up my chin, I yawn a few times, feeling bored. This place feels alien to me. Plus, all these strangers keep glancing at me, judging me with their eyes, acting like I don't belong there.I didn't plan on staying long, but I had no choice. I can't even talk to Danny, who's making sure I don't say anything about Christopher Gale. Because of that, I can't interrogate anyone.I scan the room, leaning on my chin. Nothing interesting, just a bunch of people giving me dirty looks. It feels like they're about to eat me alive."When are they gonna be done?" I ask Danny, who's still eyeing me suspiciously.Is he scared I'll talk about Christopher Gale? If that's the case, I think Christopher Gale has something I need to know. It's absurd for a fake Alpha like him to run a pack as big as The Moon Fall Pack.Of course, there is no way a fake Alph

Ethan's P.O.V"Something's off with Claire. I'll leave her with you, Danny. I'll be watching you guys from a distance." That's what I told Danny before handing my black card to Claire. At first, I didn't care if Claire got dragged by Christopher Gale or not, but now, knowing my feelings for her have changed, I'm rethinking handing her over to that fake Alpha.They've been roaming the city for half an hour, but I haven't received any reports from Danny, which worries me. Since Claire's first encounter with Christopher Gale, the man has shown a murderous intent, as if he wouldn't let anyone touch his long-targeted prey.Of course, Christopher Gale's hunt is a life-or-death matter because Claire is the last descendant of the former Alpha of The Moon Fall Pack. Ensuring Claire's death is his final goal for eternal power. But as long as I'm alive, I'll make sure Christopher Gale can't touch my Luna."What am I even doing?"

Ethan's POVI felt a whole lot better seeing her get into the car. Even though I didn't go with her, it was a relief to watch her willingly get into the car driven by my Warrior. Much better than when she left the mansion on foot, with no clue where she was heading.Plus, I'm glad she didn't try to hide her pregnancy from me, she tell everyting and let me know about her feeling about that baby. Her simple admission that she didn't want to build a family with me made sense, considering I've been a jerk."Alpha, I heard Lady Halle is heading to Lake Terara to calm down." One of my warrior tell me after he had the report.Lake Terara? That's a bit far from the packhouse, but it's alright since that area is guarded by Gilbert, the Gamma. No need to worry about her safety."Tell Gill I'll pick her up before sundown if she refuses to come back to the mansion.""I will, Alpha," the Warrior replied.All my Warriors have special communication devices—kind of like a mindlink in a gadget form th

Claire's POVI couldn't shake off the shock when Ethan said he wanted to see this baby born before helping me avenge Nurse Alberta's death."So you—already knew that—""I told you from the start, since the first time we met, that no matter how well you do it, you can't hide anything from me. Besides, no Alpha would be unaware that their offspring is on the way," he said, his eyes fixed on my belly.I covered my stomach with both hands, hoping he'd stop staring."Why do you look scared? Shouldn't you be proud that you're carrying my child? Even though I don't lead the largest pack like The Moon Fall Pack, I hold the title of the strongest Alpha. Isn't that enough to make the baby proud?""There will never be pride for a baby born from me when I don't have an Alpha by my side," I said without hesitation. "No matter how hard I try, I'll just see you marry Lucy Torrance, and then you'll discard us once you get what you want from me. So, can't you help me avenge the deaths of the nurses an
Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 74. Burn & Down
Ethan’s POV“You—you’ve gotta be joking, right? His niece? How the hell am I his niece?!” Claire screamed, leaping to her feet with rage burning in her teary eyes. She couldn’t believe it—she was related to the bastard who slaughtered her family. The man who wiped out an entire bloodline, a legacy that should still be ruling the Moon Fall Pack. Every head in the garden snapped toward us. People whispered, curious and confused about the commotion. But Claire? She wasn’t overreacting—far from it. Learning that the monster who destroyed her life shared her bloodline was enough to break anyone. I reached out a hand and gently motioned for her to sit down. “Claire, let me explain everything,” I said, hoping to calm the storm inside her. At first, she resisted, too consumed by the whirlwind of emotions. She stayed on her feet, trembling, letting her anger overflow. But I didn’t pull my hand back, holding out hope she’d take it. Minutes passed. Slowly, reluctantly, she sat, her tension
Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna 73. Loyalty & Betrayal
Ethan's P.O.VClaire's expression hasn't changed since I dropped the bomb. She still looks like she's just been hit with a truckload of surprise. Honestly, she shouldn't be so shocked. After all, Claire has been digging into this for a while, and she definitely knows more than she lets on."You're Jacob Wensiker's one and only his daughter," I repeated.“No, it’s not ….” She shook her head, ignore what I say to her.“Yes, yo’re. And you know that I'm telling you the truth.”"So, you're saying that I should be the Alpha of The Moon Fall Pack?" she asked.That is an incredible speculation. It is true that when the previous Alpha dies, the decendants will take its place. However, in this case, Claire wasn’t the next Alpha after Christhoper Gale gone. Unlike me, I immediately took my father's place when he died.Perhaps that will happen to Claire as well. Since she might not be considered worthy yet, the leadership might fall into Beta's hands, only to be handed over to her after being de

Ethan's P.O.VI parked my car in the park's lot, a central hub of activity for this pack. Almost everyone here knows who I am, and now, they're all staring at me with curiosity but too afraid to approach or ask questions.I led Claire to a corner of the park. We sat on the grass, surrounded by others, and pulled out the food we bought, making us the center of attention. Because even though it is a park, it is the center of the crowd. Everyone in this Pack uses this area as the center of their lives. Whether it's a school, shops, a shopping center, a recreation center, or just a place to look for something small.But I didn’t care. I let them see Claire, who they would know for the rest of their lives as my Luna. Although they all knew that I was engaged to Lucy Torrance, they also had to know that this wanta was really my Luna.“You still haven’t answered my question,” Claire began impatiently.Yeah, not that she's been a patient girl, but when it comes to the deaths of the sisters an

Ethan's P.O.V“First things first, what do you want to eat?” I asked after we turned off the packhouse area toward the outskirts of town.Ever since she agreed to get into the car, Claire had only looked out the window, avoiding eye contact with me. For some reason, that made me a bit disappointed.Yeah, disappointed. A word I never imagined I would use to describe my own feelings.A word I never thought I would feel for anyone except myself, as I have always been perfection itself, with nothing else measuring up.“I want an iced coffee with a little caramel, some burgers with different flavors and sauces, and... I really crave pickles.” She answered suddenly after a moment of silence.Wow, sounds like she’s having cravings. But of course, she would. If she didn't, she would stay locked in her room, eating everything brought to her.However, she didn’t do that. Claire often ignored the food and left it untouched outside her door until the servants brought fresh meals again.It sounded

Claire’s P.O.VDid I just do something terrible? No. Why am I even thinking that? I should be grateful that I managed to stand up to Lucy and retort back. After all, I am the Luna of that Pack, aren’t I?But what do I do now? If I go back, Lucy Torrance won’t let me breathe. She’ll find ways to bully or hurt me, and if that happens, then this baby... no, I can’t let that happen.Even though I didn't want this baby to be here now, it's still my baby. Even if Ethan might not want it, this baby will still be mine.But where do I go from here? I walked aimlessly and suddenly found myself outside the mansion gates, wandering far until I ended up alone on a forest road leading to who knows where.I sighed, stopping at the side of the deserted road. It was so quiet, just me and the sounds of animals from the forest surrounding the packhouse.When I reached the main gate, I thought the Warriors would stop me, but they opened the gate and let me go. Now I don't know where to go.Just as I was f

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.

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
