LUNE Chapter 39
Lune entered the classroom, her mind still buzzing with the whispers from outside. She took a deep breath, trying to push the thoughts of the other students’ curiosity aside. It was her second day, and she was determined to focus on her studies, despite the strange looks she might get.The room was already filling with students, some of whom glanced her way, while others continued their conversations. Lune found an empty seat near the window, her favorite spot to observe without being too noticed. As she settled in, adjusting her notebook and pens on the desk, she felt a bit more at ease. The space was calming, with its soft hum of chatter and the rustling of papers, a small distraction from the intensity of her morning.She opened her notebook, flipping to a blank page, when she heard a familiar voice.“Hey, Lune!” Maya called out, her cheerful tone cutting through the noise of the room.Lune looked up to see Maya walking toward her with a big smile on her face. Her bright energy was

After they finished eating, Arlo leaned back in his chair, watching Lune with a curious expression. He had been quiet during dinner, letting her enjoy the meal, but now he seemed eager to talk. He wiped his hands on a napkin and folded his arms across the table, his eyes warm as they settled on her."So," he began, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips, "how was your day at school?"Lune smiled back, feeling a little more relaxed now that the meal was done. "It was good, actually. I’m getting used to the place, and I think I’m making a friend. Her name is Maya."Arlo raised an eyebrow, his smile widening. "That’s great to hear. It sounds like you’re settling in well."Lune nodded, feeling a little proud of herself. It had been nerve-wracking at first, stepping into a new environment where she felt so out of place, but Maya had been a comforting presence. "Yeah, Maya’s been really helpful. I don’t feel as out of place with her around."Arlo leaned forward slightly, his gaze
LUNE Chapter 41
As they entered the bedroom, the atmosphere felt tense. Lune sat on the edge of the bed, her mind still replaying the events of earlier. She couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that clung to her, the intensity of what had happened between them still fresh in her mind.Arlo noticed her silence, her body slightly stiff as if she was holding something back. His chest tightened at the sight of her so on edge. He couldn’t stand the thought of her being afraid, especially of him. He slowly sat down beside her, careful to keep his movements gentle, not wanting to startle her.“Lune,” he began softly, his voice filled with concern. “Are you… scared of me now?”Lune blinked and turned to look at him. His expression was full of worry, his brows furrowed as he studied her face. She could see the guilt still etched in his features, the fear that he had crossed a line he couldn’t uncross. His eyes were pleading, desperate for reassurance that he hadn’t completely broken her trust.“I…” She hesita
LUNE Chapter 42
After they walked into the house, the soft glow of the evening light streaming through the windows, Lune found herself feeling lighter and more at ease than she had in days. The date had gone better than she could have imagined, and she could feel the growing connection between her and Arlo. He had been patient, thoughtful, and everything she hadn’t expected. As they stood in the living room, Lune glanced at Arlo, who was watching her with that familiar warmth in his eyes. Something about the moment felt right, and before she could overthink it, she leaned in and gently pecked him on the lips. The kiss was soft, brief, and affectionate, but it was enough to make Arlo's face light up with surprise. He blinked, a smile spreading across his face as he chuckled softly. “What was that for?” he asked, his voice filled with both amusement and happiness. Lune felt her own smile grow as she shrugged playfully, feeling a little shy but also more comfortable with him than ever before. “I don’
LUNE Chapter 43
When Lune arrived at school, there was a noticeable change in the atmosphere. The usual buzz of students talking and going about their routines felt different. As she walked through the hallways, she could feel eyes on her, more than ever before. Groups of students were whispering to each other, casting glances her way, some curious, others judgmental. Lune could feel the weight of their stares, but she couldn’t quite figure out what had caused the sudden attention.Her thoughts were interrupted when Maya, her new friend, approached her, wearing a serious expression. “Hey, Lune,” Maya said cautiously as they headed to their next class together. “Can I ask you something?”Lune nodded, feeling the unease growing in her stomach. “Sure, what’s up?”Maya hesitated for a second, then leaned in closer, lowering her voice. “Is it true? About you and Arlo? Are you really his mate… or…” she paused, looking around to make sure no one else was listening, “...or just his, you know, fuck mate? Peop
LUNE Chapter 44
Arlo paced back and forth in his office, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. The anger boiling inside him was palpable, his wolf barely held at bay. He had trusted his staff, his team, to keep things under control, to ensure his plans unfolded smoothly. But now, because of one incompetent move, his world was unraveling.“How could this happen?” he roared, slamming his fist against the large oak desk. His voice reverberated through the room, causing his workers to flinch. "How could any of you be so incompetent?”The staff stood around him, shifting nervously, none of them daring to make eye contact. They knew the Alpha's temper was fierce, but today it was a level of rage they hadn’t witnessed in a long time. Arlo's eyes burned with fury, and his frustration grew with every passing second."I specifically told you to keep everything under wraps until I was ready to introduce Lune!" Arlo growled, his voice low and dangerous. "Now, because of one damned paparaz
LUNE Chapter 45
Lune stepped out of the car, her heart pounding with excitement as she arrived home. She couldn’t wait to see Arlo. The past few days had been overwhelming, especially after all the attention from the paparazzi. But in the middle of all the chaos, she found solace in Arlo, her Alpha, her mate. She felt an urge to tell him everything about her day, to let him calm her nerves as he always did.As soon as she walked into the house, a maid greeted her with a warm smile but quickly informed her, "The Alpha is in a meeting, Luna. He may be a while."Lune’s excitement deflated a little, but she understood. Arlo had a lot on his plate, especially with the situation at hand. "Alright, thank you," she said, making her way upstairs to their bedroom.Once inside, Lune felt the quiet settle in around her. The room was filled with Arlo’s scent, a comforting reminder of him even when he wasn’t there. She sat on the edge of the bed, pulling out her phone. The last thing she wanted to do was check the
LUNE Chapter 46
Arlo sat at the edge of the bed, his hands clasped tightly together. He had rehearsed this moment in his head a thousand times, but now that it was here, the words seemed harder to find. He glanced at Lune, who was calmly brushing her hair by the mirror, her soft features glowing under the dim bedroom light. He didn’t want to scare her, but he knew he couldn’t delay the conversation any longer."Lune," he began, his voice hesitant, "there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you. I should’ve said it sooner, but everything happened so fast, and I didn’t want to overwhelm you."She turned around, sensing his seriousness, and walked over to sit beside him. "What’s wrong, Arlo? You can talk to me," she said softly, placing a comforting hand on his.He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "The second wedding. We need to do it soon. I’ve been waiting because I didn’t want to rush you, but with everything that’s happening—the paparazzi, the rumors—it’s not safe anymore. I need to claim yo
