Luna’s Second Chance Chapter 15 ~The News~
~Aria~The next morning was worse.So much fucking worse.I woke up feeling like I’d been hit by a truck, then dragged for miles, then maybe hit again just to make sure I stayed down. My whole body ached—my ribs tight, my limbs heavy like concrete—and my head? My head was this foggy, pounding mess, like I hadn’t slept at all, just laid there marinating in panic the entire night.But no.Reality was still here. Heavy. Cold.I dragged myself out of bed, my body felt like I doubled in weight.I walked to the bathroom and turned the water on scalding hot, because why not, and stepped in.It burned.Good.I stood there, eyes closed, steam choking me, hoping maybe it would melt this tightness in my chest, wash away whatever the hell was wrong with me.It didn’t.Nothing ever does.I got dressed like I was assembling a corpse—jeans, hoodie, sneakers. Safe. Basic. Something I didn’t have to think about.I caught my reflection in the mirror and, Jesus, I looked like hell. Pale, dark circles un

~Aria~I woke up to the faint noise of footsteps. Slow. Steady. Familiar.For a moment, I didn’t think. Didn’t remember. Just lay there, warm, tangled in blankets, floating in that quiet space where nothing felt real yet.Then—It hit me.My stomach turned.Today.The Elders. The meeting. The thing I’d been dreading ever since I found out it was coming.My chest felt tight. Too tight.I inhaled, forcing the feeling down, trying to shake the heaviness clinging to me, and then—Oh.Oh, God.My brain short-circuited.Luca was standing by the dresser. Shirtless. Back to me. Muscles shifting as he moved.Not just shirtless—just a towel. Slung low on his hips, barely hanging on, like gravity could win at any second, and—My face burned.I immediately looked away, like I hadn’t just looked. Like my brain hadn’t just cataloged everything.The scars along his back, some deep, some faint. The way the morning light caught his skin, made him look even sharper, even broader. The solid lines of mus

~Aria~I swallowed, but my throat was dry, scratchy, like my body already knew I was somewhere I didn’t belong.“I—I’m Aria.”Alpha Female Elena smiled, and it wasn’t just polite. It was knowing. Like she already had the answer before I even spoke. Like she already knew everything.“I know,” she said, smooth, warm, completely at ease.“Come.”And then she turned and walked off. Just like that. No hesitation. No waiting to see if I’d follow.I hesitated.Only for a second.Then I forced my feet to move.The halls stretched forever, golden light slanting through windows so tall they felt impossible. The doors we passed were carved with strange symbols, some I swore shifted when I glanced too quickly. The air smelled like stone and something faintly sweet—maybe flowers from outside, maybe something older. The servants we passed all dipped their heads when Elena walked by, their movements so smooth, so synchronized, like they’d practiced a thousand times.Not just Luca’s sister.An Alpha

~Luca~I stepped through the castle doors, the weight of everything pressing down on my shoulders. But I didn’t show it. Wouldn’t.The second I walked in, every gaze snapped to me.The guards stiffened. The servants lowered their heads. The air fucking changed. Because I was home. And everyone knew what that meant.Aria was a step behind me. Silent. Tense.Too stiff, too wary.She should be.This place? It chewed people up. Spit them out.And Aria?She had no clue what she’d walked into.But I didn’t have time to ease her into it.Boots against stone. Sharp. Purposeful.Elijah.My Beta. Eyes flicked to Aria—assessing, always fucking assessing—then landed on me.“We need to talk.”I nodded once. Then, to Aria, “I won’t be long.”She hesitated. Like she wanted to say something.Didn’t.Just nodded.I turned and followed Elijah down the hall.The meeting room was dim, shadows stretching too far, wall sconces doing jack shit to brighten the space.Arkif was already there, arms crossed, fa

~Aria~Luca was right there. Close enough that his warmth tangled with mine, close enough that every breath I took was him. His scent, his presence, his everything.And I—I should’ve moved.Should’ve put space between us, should’ve shoved him back, should’ve done something to stop this thing—this pull, this gravity, this goddamn inevitability—before it swallowed me whole.But I didn’t.I just sat in it.Let it wrap around me. Let it drag its teeth down my skin.I barely even breathed.And Luca—Fuck.He was staring at me.Dark. Unreadable. But focused. Like I was the only thing in the world that existed, like he’d already decided something, like he was already unraveling me in ways I didn’t even understand yet.The air shifted.Crackled.Something sharp curled in my stomach.My pulse jumped.His eyes flicked lower. Down to my mouth. Stayed there.And that was it.That was all it took.He moved.Not rushed. Not hesitant. Just… inevitable.Like this was always going to happen. Like we

Chapter 20AriaThe second I walked into that chamber, I knew I was fucked.The Elders were waiting.“She’s late.”One of the elders' harsh voice hit me.I looked up.His gaze was on me.“Undisciplined.” A slow, deliberate shake of his head. “Just as I expected.”My jaw clenched. Fingers curled into a fist behind my back.I said nothing.The air was thick, suffocating, the weight of their gazes pressing down on me like they already knew how this was going to end. Like they had already decided before I even opened my mouth.And maybe they had.The room was too grand, too cold, too damn intimidating. The elders sat like gods on their thrones, their faces carved from stone, their eyes sharp, waiting. Luca was there too, standing near the front, looking—hell, I don’t even know. Unreadable. Silent. The same way he always did when he was pretending not to feel a damn thing.Then the elder spoke again. I believe he was elder Kian, the most senior of them.Elena managed to give me a rundown

What Now? Luca POVI still heard Kian’s voice ringing in my ears. Saying Aria had been rejected. I couldn't imagine what she's thinking right now. Then Kian turned, looking straight at me. Out eyes met. I could read his face. He was daring me not to accept, and face serious consequences. “And now, Alpha,” he said, almost amused. “You have a choice.”The room grew dead silent. All eyes turned to me. I could feel their piercing stares.I stood there, shoulders squared, my face neutral.Cold and emotionless. I managed to hide the fire burning in me. I was torn apart on what to say.For a moment, I felt like I could hear Aria’s voice. Begging me not to accept it. ‘No, don’t do this. Don’t act like last night didn’t happen.’“You can fight this,” Kian said, slow, taunting, like he was savoring every word. “Or you can accept it.” A beat. A smirk in his voice. Softer. Crueler. “And let her go.”My mouth opened—And for one fractured second, I almost said it.I almost stood up, almost

~Aria~I stormed out of my room. I couldn't stay here, it felt too suffocating. I didn’t care where I was going. I just needed to be anywhere but inside that suffocating chamber, anywhere but standing under the weight of their eyes, his eyes, pretending that I hadn’t just been discarded like I was nothing.The halls were endless. The stares unbearable.They whispered when I passed."She thought she could be our Luna?""Rejected. Just like that.""Pathetic."The words stung me deep. I couldn't bear to hear more of it.So I walked faster until I was outside the quarters. I had to get out. Had to.The air inside was too thick, pressing down, choking me, clinging to my skin like fucking static and I couldn’t—couldn’t— breathe. My hands were shaking, useless, my heartbeat slamming against my ribs, my throat, my skull, too loud, too fast, like it was trying to crawl out of me.I shoved through the doors, didn’t even feel my feet hit the ground, just moved. Stumbled, almost tripped, didn’

Aria’s POVIt was almost midnight when I finally reached our apartment. I dragged myself to my room like a corpse, feet heavy, mind a twisted mess. Everything felt wrong. I slammed the door shut behind me. I was a white wolf.A fucking white wolf. This wasn’t supposed to happen. This wasn’t my life. I was human—no, worse—I was a rejected mate, tossed aside like I was nothing. But now, I wasn’t nothing.I was something.Something that could rip a rogue to shreds.I couldn’t stop seeing it.The rogue.His eyes had widened. His whole body had gone rigid, his mouth parting like he couldn’t even process what was in front of him. His stance had changed—hesitation.Fear.He had seen a white wolf standing where a pathetic, fragile human had been.And in that split second—he knew he was going to die.A shudder rolled through me.And he had.I had killed him.I should have felt something.Guilt. Horror.But all I had felt was power.That scared me more than anything.I curled my knees to m
Luna’s Second Chance Chapter 32
Aria POVI woke up to an intense pain. Everywhere. It felt like my brain wanted to bulge out of my own head.I cracked my eyes open. My room. My bed. Safe. But I didn’t feel safe.I felt wrong.Like my skin wasn’t mine. I forced myself up from my bed, exhaling sharply. What the hell happened?And then it hit me.Memories rushed in—fast, violent, suffocating.The club. The drinks. Jasmine laughing. The air too thick, the music too loud, the world spinning.Then the cold night air. The sidewalk. Stumbling. The ground unsteady beneath me.And then—him.The rogue. The glowing red eyes. The stench of blood. The way he moved—fast, predatory, like I was prey.I had tried to run. Useless. Weak. Slow.He had pinned me down, claws slicing into my skin.I should have died.I would have died.But I screamed. And something inside me answered.A burst of light, white-hot and blinding. An explosion that sent him flying.And then—the shift.I gasped, gripping my arms, my whole body shaking.I ha
Luna’s Second Chance Chapter 31
Elijah’s POVI sat in the dim hotel room, staring at the chipped coffee cup in my hands. The coffee was cold. Had been for hours. But I wasn’t drinking it. Just gripping it like it had answers.Waiting.For her.For Aria.And that was the problem.She wasn’t back.She should’ve been back.Where the fuck was she?Then came the knock.Too hard. Too fast. Urgent.I was already moving before I even thought about it, the chair scraping against the floor, my body coiled tight like a goddamn wire about to snap.The soldier outside the door looked like he had been running.“She’s been gone too long.”My chest went tight.“How long?” My voice was flat. Cold.“Hours.” A sharp inhale. “She hasn’t returned.”My fingers curled into fists.Fuck.I grabbed my coat, shoved past him. The drive to her house was a blur. The moment I got there, I knew.The door was unlocked.Bad. Bad fucking sign.I stepped in, ears sharp, eyes scanning.Her scent was here. Fresh. But fading fast.My stomach knotted.I
Luna’s Second Chance Chapter 30~Drown it out~
One hour was enough for me to get a quick shower and freshen up a little. But, I still couldn't shake off the vision. Talking with the white wolf. And then it says I'm a white wolf too.‘You are a White Wolf, Aria.And whether you accept it or not—your destiny is already in motion.’ The words were still fresh in my mind. It was all too overwhelming for me… But, for now all that has to wait. I had to see Jasmine. And try to explain and make sense of what happened. I grabbed my jacket and pushed the door open. But, moment I stepped outside, I knew.Something was watching me. I just had that tingle. It wasn’t just paranoia. It was something thick and heavy in the air, curling around me like a warning.I ignored it.“Taxi!!” I yelled standing on the sidewalk. The can drove to me and I slid into the backseat, rattled off the address Jasmine sent me, and tried to shake the feeling.Didn’t work.The entire ride, I felt it. A weight pressing into my back. Every streetlight we passed
Luna’s Second Chance Chapter 29~The Revelation~
Aria’s POVThere was nothing better for me right now, than a clear mind running a few shifts at mom's restaurant. I stepped into the restaurant for the first time in months and then that familiar scent hit me. The fresh and warm scent of Mom's famous spaghetti source and her freshly baked bread. Except it didn’t feel like home.Not anymore.It had changed. Modernized. New furniture, new workers, a fresh coat of paint used on the walls.I was happy for mom, but deep down, it ached my heart to know it was from money Luca paid me off with. I barely made it two steps inside before my mom turned, froze, her hand gripping the counter like she needed it to steady herself."Aria," she breathed. Then she moved. Fast. Pulled me into her arms like she was afraid I’d disappear again.I stood there, stiff for a second. Then I sank into her warmth. When she pulled back, her hands cupped my face, searching me."I'm sorry, I'm just still missing you alot, you know?" It came out like a question.
Luna’s Second Chance Chapter 28~The Forbidden Book~
Aria’s POVI stood, forcing my limbs to move. “Thanks for tonight, Cole.”He just sighed. “Anytime.” I could see the disappointment on his face. Elijah was already moving.Already leading me away. And I followed carefully behind him till we reached the car.I waited till we entered the car, and then I snapped.“What the fuck was that, Elijah?” Elijah didn’t even look at me. He just turned the key, started the car, and pulled away from the curb like he hadn’t just dragged me away from my fucking date.Like he hadn’t just walked in, sat down, and ripped me out of that restaurant like I was a fucking child.Like I didn’t have a say.Like I didn’t fucking matter.“Elijah,” I snarled, voice sharp and shaking. “What the fuck was that?”Still, nothing.“You think you can just come in and do whatever the hell you want? You think you can just—just fucking control me?”Silence. “Elijah!” I exploded, slamming my palm against the dashboard. “I am not his anymore! Do you understand that? I’m
Luna’s Second Chance Chapter 27~Ruined Blind Date~
Aria’s POV I thought coming back to the human world would help.That being back in my own bed, in my mother’s home, surrounded by normalcy, would make everything feel… lighter.That maybe—just maybe—the weight of him would fade.But it didn’t. Far from it. It clung to me like a second skin.Not physically, but in my head, in my bones, in my goddamn soul.The rejection was supposed to set me free.It didn’t.It just left a wound that wouldn’t close.A slow, rotting ache in my chest that I couldn’t shake, no matter how much I tried to drown it out with distractions, with sleep, with pretending.And the worst part?I couldn’t stop wondering.What if?What if things had been different?What if he had fought for me?What if I had stayed?What if I had never met him at all?Would I be happier? Would I still feel this raw, broken, hollow?The thoughts were relentless, circling, suffocating.I hadn’t even been back for long, and already my mother was worried.Jasmine too."You’re miserable
Luna’s Second Chance Chapter 26
Luca’s POVThe office was quiet. Too fucking quiet.It had been a day. A fucking day.Aria was gone. I let her go.The right choice. The rational choice. The fucking logical choice.Then why the fuck did it feel like my chest was being hollowed out with a dull knife? She wanted to go, didn’t she?Or did she want me to stop her?I exhaled hard, rubbing my face, trying to drown out the noise, the regret, the fucking ache that had been clawing at me since the second she walked away. Since I let her.A knock. Sharp. Clipped.Didn’t answer. Didn’t fucking care.The door swung open anyway.Elena.Her eyes found mine like she already knew. Like she had been waiting for this.I stiffened, forcing the mask back on. Shoving all the fucking wreckage deep, deep, deeper.“What do you want?” I muttered, reaching for the half-empty bottle of whiskey on my desk.She stepped inside, shut the door behind her. Crossed her arms. That sharp, knowing fucking look in her eyes.“You look like shit.”I snorte
Luna’s Second Chance Chapter 25
Chapter 25AriaI stormed into my room and sat by the window. I couldn't stay here anymore. There's nothing left for me here. If Luca wants me so close so bad, then he should come with me. I can't stay here. Just then, Luca walked into my room. Speak of the devil. “You can go.” he said, his voice calm. “I know.” I answered sharply. I had already made up my mind I was going whether he agreed or not. “But Elijah’s going with you.” his next words stunned me a bit. Elijah? But to think more of it, it made sense. He seemed strong enough to protect me against other packs Alpha’s.“I don’t need a babysitter.” but I still shot back.“You need a goddamn army,” I bit out. “But you’re too fucking stubborn to admit it.”“Elijah will make sure you’re safe. He’ll take you wherever the hell you want to go, keep his damn distance if that’s what you want. But he stays.” he said. “Fine.” I agreed. “I’ll come for you when I’m done here.” he said. I remained still, but the way he said that, lik
