Hidden Luna Chapter 008
"No! Of course I'm not pregnant, Rose," I exclaimed, panicked. In the reflection of the gleaming counter-height table, my flushed face looked back at me. Okay, damn it, who was I even trying to fool? Rose sighed in frustration. "And what about your education? Will you still continue your studies after getting married?" she asked me again. "Of course," I replied. "Marriage won't make me stop studying, right?" "It won't matter if you and Ikaros don't have plans to have a baby in the first few years," Jay said. But we were going to have a baby, and that thought momentarily panicked me. "What makes me confuse is," Rose said again, and this time her face truly looked furious, "why are you getting married if you don't plan on having a baby? You could just date!" And at that moment, when my sister and Jay were both glaring at me accusingly, I felt my chest tighten along with the urge to move away from both of them. "I..." I started, hesitating. "I—" "Azalea is pregnant, that's

The next day..."Can you lift your arm?" asked the bridal dressmaker softly as I stood nervously, letting her measure me. I raised my arm, then allowed her to wrap the measuring tape around my arm. Meanwhile, Ikaros sat with Jay and Rose on the couch near us, chatting about various things but mostly related to their work. The three of them shared the same interests in digital business, computer programs, crypto, and the network thing, something I would never understand forever.Of course, marrying a businessman like Ikaros was never on my bucket list. Yes, I had fallen in love with him, maybe I still do. But that love was accompanied by great hatred as well, so I wasn't sure which one was greater between those feelings. But what mattered was which one was more important: I need to love him."Have you chosen flowers for the wedding yet?" the bridal dressmaker asked again, and I shook my head."Do you have a favorite flower?" the woman asked."I like forget-me-nots. Would that be good f

The Wedding day arrived. The event was held at a small church on the edge of Manhattan, and it was attended by a multitude of people.As I peeked through a small gap in the door, I cursed Ikaros under my breath."Are you ready, dear?" my father asked, and I almost jumped out of my skin in surprise. "I—I—didn't know."I bit my lip. I thought this would be easy, but it turned out not to be.Soon, witnessed by my parents, my sister, and Jay, as well as a hundred unfamiliar faces who were Ikaros' close friends (how did he have so many close friends!?)—I became Mrs. Alexandrovich. We were bound to each other, I was his, and he was mine. It was both thrilling and terrifying."Ikaros never said there would be this many witnesses," I whispered to my father, and he raised an eyebrow for a moment. My father was a quiet, stoic man with small round glasses who worked hard at the store every day. He didn't understand music or sentimental things, but one day he bought me a kalimba—a thumb piano tha

They talked for a long time. And when Ikaros finally reappeared, the man stared at me coldly as he touched my arm."I need to talk to you right now," he whispered in my ear. His tone was short and harsh, making me uneasy.I thought I should explain my meeting with the man at Juilliard immediately a couple of days ago"Okay. I also need to tell you something," I said. But before I could finish, he ran off, leaving us to another empty room, and I quickly ran after him as fast as I could in the beautiful white high heels and the low-cut bridal dress with a three-meter-long skirt.And as we entered the room, he slammed the door shut, startling me with the loud bang."What game is this you're playing, Azalea?" he asked roughly."What game?" I asked, not understanding."Fine, keep pretend you don't know until your damn kid is born, and then we'll do a DNA test and find out he's not mine," Ikaros said, and I was stunned by his

"What Ikaros did to me has left deep scars. But Vancouver also didn't make me feel safe.Pregnant, unmarried, broke, and dropped out of college.

Luckily, my room already had a bathroom, so whenever I needed to pee, I didn't have to leave the room.We didn't have a piano at home, just a kalimba, and it didn't satisfy me.

I still couldn't bear to face my family, and likewise, they couldn't either.Honestly, I was disappointed with my family's reaction.

Hidden Luna Chapter 001
Azalea's POVEvery full moon night, something strange happens. I don't know exactly what happened last night. But as I washed my hair in the sink this morning, I could vividly recall my dream last night, when I "wolfed-out" and ran through the streets of Brooklyn. The moonlight illuminated my path, made everything enveloped in silver light, and I was completely happy.I haven't been that happy in a long time.The thing is, I'm not a wolf. I'm an ordinary human... right? And werewolves don't exist... right?Okay, please don't think I'm crazy. But I woke up in a very strange condition this morning. There was dried mud in my hair, as well as on the tips of my toenails and fingernails. And I was... erm, naked.I hope I didn't leave the apartment naked last night.I sighed and closed my eyes.Aaaaah, embarrassing.After finishing rinsing my hair and drying it with a towel, I went downstairs to the kitchen. My apartment mate, Jay Oliver, was busy fixing the coffee machine. He is a tall, dar
Hidden Luna Chapter 002
The next day and for the next few months, Ikaros Alexandrovich often came to our apartment. He had some complicated business with Jay, and it seemed they were struggling with a big project. While he was in the apartment, he didn't speak to me. Sometimes I felt his gaze towards me was insulting. I felt that he secretly mocked my style of dressing, it made my heart ache and upset at the same time.Oh my, I should've just acted casual. It was just a hook-up. Every university student has done it at least once! But still, my heart felt hurt. I can't explain it to you, but since that day, I couldn't forget that man. And since he touched me, my body always craves him again and again. Sometimes I go to sleep, close my eyes, and his face is the one that appears in my mind. As a result, I started hating myself. Damn.And after two months of heartache, I decided that I needed some peace. So I went to the bar and came home late at night. In a heavily drunken state, I leaned against the hallway wa

Today, the wind was blowing hastily in Midtown Manhattan. As I hurriedly zipped up my jacket to cover the tight t-shirt clinging to my chest, I quickened my pace towards the pharmacy. The sky looked gray above me, and it felt like rain was about to pour down. Sure enough, a few seconds after I thought so, drops of rain fell from the sky. By the time I arrived at the pharmacy, I was already soaking wet and shivering. "Anti-nausea medicine, please," I said to the pharmacist. "And... um, medicine for headaches, also appetite syrup for adult." The appetite syrup felt important. Maybe because this morning I found myself unable to eat the eggs and bacon. Even though bacon is my favorite food. Damn, it is rare I could eat bacon. The pharmacist, a young woman with her hair perfectly coiled like a ballerina's, looked at me. "May I know what's ails you?" "Uh," I thought for a moment and shook my head. "I don't know. Maybe just tired from too much classes." Or too much alcohol, yeah.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Orion Evans," the man said. I shook his hand. "My name is Aza—" I began, intending to introduce myself, but stopped abruptly as he suddenly pulled me so hard that I stumbled into his chest. My forehead bumped against his chin, and I muttered in annoyance. "Sorry," he said quickly, before I could reprimand him. "I'm a bit nervous," then he hastily withdrew his hand and pushed me away. I rubbed my forehead while glaring at him irritably. I didn't understand what just happened, and Orion Evans didn't seem like someone who was awkward. Nevertheless, whatever just happened, I wanted him to know that I wasn't impressed with his actions. "I'm already engaged to someone," I said coldly, before returning to Paul's hall. I went back to my seat, sitting with one knee crossed over the other, and stared straight ahead at Kath, who was playing the middle part of Fantasia No. 4 C Minor on stage. I felt Kath was a bit nervous as her piano playing was messy. But I

"Pheromones don't lie, want to sleep with me again, Azalea?" My heart raced as the man closed the distance between our faces, leaving me only able to see his hazelnut eyes, sharp yet beautiful, while his lips were less than a centimeter away from mine. Closer and closer. I closed my eyes nervously, as if his gaze was dangerous. Then... Nothing happened... "You can open your eyes now," said Ikaros, followed by a mocking laugh. Damn bastard. I opened my eyes, squinting in annoyance, then pushed him away. "You jerk," I muttered. Ikaros chuckled, with a laugh that was sweet, sensual, but so annoying—like the laughter of a demon from the deepest pit of hell—and said, "You wished I kissed you." "No way. You're dreaming," I said. Ikaros grinned sweetly. "Okay... Besides, who would want to do that thing in the morning, right?" he asked me rhetorically. He moved away from me with a swift motion, then walked to my wide-open bedroom window. "It's so nice chatting with you, but
Hidden Luna Chapter 005
When morning came, light seeped in through the window, falling perfectly on Ikaros's shoulders and chest, making his beautiful skin glisten. In moments like those, I could see the scars on his body, crossing his chest and shoulders, as well as some moles that looked like constellations. His jeans clung so low on his waist that it felt like I could see parts I'd seen before, but seeing them again would catch my heart unprepared. There was a tattoo on his ribcage, only the tip of that tattoo that I could see because the rest was covered by his hand. Carefully, I tried to move his hand away. But as soon as I touched Ikaros's back of the hand, it suddenly turned to grip mine, pulling me forcefully against his chest, while his other hand instinctively grabbed the vase of flowers on the nightstand—ready to smash it against my head. I screamed loudly. "Aaaaa!" "Damn it!" he cursed, angry, while letting go of me. I retreated and slid off the bed, then moved away as far as I could until my

This... is a joke, right? There's no way I'm pregnant. And from the shocked look on Ikaros' face, I knew he was thinking the same thing as me.As soon as the doctor left, he grabbed both of my arms and glared at me angrily."With whom have you been sleeping for the past two months, Azalea?" he asked, enraged. "Who is the father of this child!?"His grip on my arms was painful. "Back off," I growled. Hurt. How dare he ask me such a thing!? Did he think I was some cheap slut? "That's none of your business at all."Damn it. I'm pregnant, and last night I drank alcohol? I've hurt a creature that hasn't even taken shape yet."Who is the father of that child, Azalea?"God knows the child in my womb is Ikaros' child. But I won't admit it. Let that man with his snobbish fiancée! Let me take care of myself!I tried to get off the stretcher, but he held onto my arm. "You won't be going anywhere until you answer my question," he growled. "Who else have you been sleeping with besides me!?"And th
