Missing Luna: She Is Mine 35: Silver Arrows And Broken Promises
JONAS POVMy heart pounded like a war drum in my chest, each beat echoing the confirmation of my suspicions about Lisa. The words of her brothers were the final piece of the puzzle, solidifying the truth I had suspected—Lisa was indeed Kiara.The woman, who had been the object of both my love and hatred for years, was within my reach, oblivious to her true identity. It was a bitter irony that her so-called brothers, as unreliable as autumn leaves in the wind, couldn’t protect her secret. A secret, I wagered, she was unaware of, having been fed a diet of lies.Every cloud has a silver lining, and Lisa’s ignorance of her true self meant that I could manipulate her easily and keep her close without her ever suspecting. On the other hand, Asher was clueless, devoid of any evidence that she was his beloved Kiara.“My heart races, brothers,” I sneered, my voice dripping with malice and satisfaction. “Your words have dispelled the last of my doubts about Lisa, or, as she was once known, Kiar
Missing Luna: She Is Mine 36: Courage And Caution
WRITER’S POVAs the fight's adrenaline started to fade, Max and Jax Bonnet paused, their hearts pounding like drums in their chests. Still rooted to the spot, they exchanged silent glances, their eyes speaking words of relief and disbelief.“Did you see that?” Max’s voice was barely audible, his eyes wide with the thrill of sheer survival.Jax nodded, his gaze lingering on the shadows where Caleb had appeared, a ray of hope in their darkest hour. “I saw everything. That was too close. For a moment there, I thought we were going to die”Caleb stepped forward, the faint light reflecting off his silver arrow “What the fuck was that? Are you both okay?” His worry was clear; his eyes were scanning them both for injuries.“We’re okay, all thanks to you,” Max replied, his voice steadying. “But we can’t let him escape, not after what he’s done. That beast was going to rip off my throat”Max, always ready for action, moved towards the window. “He’s hurt, slowed by your arrows. We can catch hi
Missing Luna: She Is Mine 37: A Witch Bargain
JONAS POVWith a groan, I pushed my weary body away from the tree, feeling its rough bark imprint on my back. I brushed off bits of leaves and dirt from my feet, steadying myself on the ground before setting off to find my horse.After walking a short distance through the shadowy woods, I spotted my horse. It stood there in the clearing, as serene as ever, right where I had left it.A sigh of relief escaped my lips as I approached it with caution. Horses detest sudden surprises, and the last thing I needed at that moment was a swift kick in my balls. I harbored no doubts that it would inflict more pain than an arrow piercing my chest.“Come on, old friend,” I whispered to my horse, leading it off the path and deeper into the woods. Despite my status as a high-ranking werewolf, I found myself alone and gravely wounded. These roads were infamous for being swarmed by blood-sucking demons after midnight.Choosing the fool’s path, I guided my horse further into the wilderness. We stumbled
Missing Luna: She Is Mine 38: Jonas Accusations
ASHER’S POVLisa Bonnet.I found myself sitting beside a dream, lost in the tranquility of the moment. The soft rays of the early morning sunlight cast themselves ever so gently across Lisa’s peacefully sleeping face, illuminating her features with a warm glow. Lisa has been fluctuating between consciousness and unconsciousness for the past few hours, ever since I rescued her from my brother’s captivity. The doctor has assured me that she is not in any danger and merely needs time to rest and regain her strength. I sighed, a sigh of relief, a sigh that carried away the storm within me. My heart was brimming with a peace I never knew her presence could invoke. This beautiful girl, so human in her ways, has undeniably stirred the depths of my thoughts and reality ever since she came. I could barely believe it as I dreamily stared at the shape of her irresistible face, hanging open as she snorted and mumbled incoherent words in her sleep. She looked so serene, it was hard to believe t
Missing Luna: She Is Mine 39: Gem Among Ordinary Stones
ASHER’S POVWith my head angled to the side, I continued to watch Lisa. Her chest rose and fell in a rhythmic pattern. A soft sigh escaped her lips. She stirred slightly, her eyelashes fluttered against her cheeks, but she didn’t wake. Instead, her lips moved, forming incoherent words that were swallowed by the silence of the room.A soft chuckle rumbled in my chest at the familiar sight. This was a habit that reminded me so much of Kiara, who also had a tendency to talk in her sleep. It was one of the things I found endearing about her, providing a secret window into her thoughts and dreams. It was through these midnight confessions that I learned to love all her imperfections and flaws, embracing them as my own.As I got lost in her features, I found my mind drifting back to the first time we met. I was out for a run in the night. My wolf had been restless through out that day and I knew it wanted to be set free to roam so I did.Out in the night, embracing my wolf form, feeling the
Missing Luna: She Is Mine 40: Twisted Alliance
JONAS POVI stormed back to my room, seething with raw rage. The air crackled with tension, and I could feel the weight of Asher’s suspicions bearing down on me. Asher, my brother, had always been impulsive, but this time he’d crossed a line. I was certain he was lying about Lisa’s whereabouts.I could even bet my life that he was keeping her locked away in his room. Her scent clung to him like perfume, a tantalizing mix of wildflowers and secrets. The presence of the guard says it all.However, it wasn’t merely Lisa’s whereabouts that troubled me. I found myself pondering whether Asher had uncovered her true identity - that she was Kiara, the girl who had disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a path strewn with mystery and sorrow.Yet, Asher maintained an infuriating calm. If he were privy to Lisa’s secret, he would be anything but composed. No, he was concealing something else—something that ignited a fury within me. I had to locate Lisa, to erase her memory as swiftly as poss
Missing Luna: She Is Mine 41: Echoes Of Warning
ASHER’S POVThe unexpected sight of the witch, Tacha, sent a jolt of surprise through me. Her ageless beauty, as haunting as a moonlit night, was still intact. Her eyes, twin pools of otherworldly luminescence, bore into mine, and I wondered how many souls had been ensnared by their hypnotic gaze. But, thankfully, she wasn’t the flame that attracted my moth. Tacha was a venomous viper disguised as a harmless dove, and only a fool would mistake her for anything less than what she truly is - a witch.“Why are you here, Tacha?” I asked, my voice echoing through the silent expanse of my house. The air thickened with ancient magic as she stepped closer, her eyes resembling twin pools of obsidian. She feigned shock, dramatically placing her hand over her heart, before chiding me for my lack of hospitality. “Is that how you greet an old friend?”A chuckle escaped my lips as I retorted, “Tacha, you’re no friend of mine. State your business or leave.”Tacha nodded, her lips curving into a sa
Missing Luna: She Is Mine 42: Threads Of Friendship, Weaved In Doubt
LISA’S POVI awoke abruptly, my eyelids fluttering open to reveal the stark white ceiling above me. The dream I had just been immersed in was so vivid and tangible that it took me a moment to anchor myself back in reality.I had dreamt of being bound and left for dead, only to be rescued by Alpha Asher. The memory of his strong arms enveloping me and his voice whispering reassurances in my ear felt so real that I could almost believe it had actually happened.As I lay there, the reality of my situation began to dawn on me. I wasn’t in Jonas’s room but in Asher’s. The warm glow that seem to be familiar with his room was present. His scent, a comforting reminder of his presence, lingered in the air.I was also in his bed, the sheets soft against my skin, unlike the cold, hard floor that Jonas had forced me to sleep on.“Jonas!” I gasped. Fear began to creep in as I thought about him. Was he back and looking for me? What would he do if he found me here, in Asher’s room? The thought of fa

The full moon cast a silver glow over the village, and the air was electric with excitement.We had been preparing for this night for weeks, and I could feel the anticipation building inside me. As we reached the square, Asher raised his hands, and the chatter of the pack members died down.“Friends, family, and fellow pack members," he began, his voice clear and strong. "Tonight, we gather for the ancient tradition of the Hunting Festival. Remember, the rules are simple: no cheating, no harming fellow pack members, and respect for the prey."He paused, surveying the crowd with a stern expression.

Missing Luna: She Is Mine 95: A Moment Of Peace

Missing Luna: She Is Mine 94: Hunted By The Past
Asher’s POVThe days in the clinic passed slowly, each one a blur of pain, healing, and the constant presence of Kiara. Her unwavering support was a balm to my soul, but there was a darkness within me that even she couldn’t fully reach.I could see the worry in her eyes, the way she watched me as if afraid I’d slip away—not just physically, but emotionally.But I kept up a strong front. I was the Alpha, after all. My pack needed me to be strong, to lead them without showing any form of weakness. Yet, every time I closed my eyes, I saw Jonas’s lifeless face, felt the weight of the decision I’d made.One evening, after everyone had left and the clinic was quiet, Kiara curled up beside me on the bed, her head resting on my chest. I could feel the steady rise and fall of her breathing, the warmth of her body against mine. It was comforting, a reminder that I wasn’t alone, even if it felt that way sometimes.“Asher,” she whispered into the darkness, her voice barely above a breath. “You kn
Missing Luna: She Is Mine 93: Guilt Grip
**Asher’s POV**The world around me was a blur of pain and shadows. I drifted in and out of consciousness, my body heavy and unresponsive. Every breath was a struggle, each one reminding me of the fight I’d just endured, of the choices I’d made—choices that would haunt me forever.But through the haze, one thing remained constant: Kiara. Her presence was an anchor, keeping me grounded in the world of the living. I could feel her hand in mine, warm and steady, as if she were pouring her strength into me, willing me to stay with her. I fought to open my eyes, to see her, to reassure her that I was still here. When I finally managed to crack them open, the first thing I saw was her face, close to mine, her expression a mixture of exhaustion and fierce determination. Even in her weariness, she was beautiful—more beautiful than I could have ever imagined."Kiara," I whispered, my voice barely audible, but she heard me. She always did. Her eyes softened, and she leaned closer, her touch g
Missing Luna: She Is Mine 92: A Good Team
Kiara’s POVJax and Max stopped their antics, grinning at each other in triumph. "That was awesome!" Max exclaimed.But I just growled, my eyes fixed on Tacha. "You're not controlling me anymore," I snarled. "It's time to put an end to this."Tacha sneered, but I could see the fear lurking in her eyes. She knew she was beaten.I charged forward, my wolf form propelling me toward Tacha with lightning speed. My claws extended, ready to strike, and my teeth bared, prepared to sink into her flesh.Tacha tried to defend herself, but I was too fast. I pinned her to the ground, my claws digging deep into her shoulders, and my teeth sank into her arm.She screamed in pain, trying to struggle free, but I held tight. I could feel her dark magic coursing through her veins, trying to break free, but I was determined to stop her.With a fierce growl, I bit down harder, my teeth sinking deeper into her flesh and tearing off both her arms. Tacha's eyes widened in agony, and she let out a deafening s
Missing Luna: She Is Mine 91: Claws And Control
Kiara’s POVAs I stood there, the dagger still clutched in my hand, a wave of horror washed over me. What had I done? Asher, my love, my mate, lay motionless on the ground, a victim of my own hand. Tacha’s cackling laughter echoed in my mind, and I knew I was still under her control. But a spark within me refused to be extinguished. I remembered Asher’s words, his love, his trust in me. With a surge of adrenaline, I fought back against Tacha’s control. It was like trying to break free from chains, but I gritted my teeth and focused on Asher’s face. Slowly, agonizingly slowly, I felt Tacha’s grip on my mind loosen. I took a step back, the dagger slipping from my fingers. “Asher,” I whispered, my voice shaking. I dropped to my knees beside him, cradling his head in my lap. His eyes flickered open again, and he gazed up at me, pain and confusion etched on his face. “Kiara?” he whispered. I nodded, tears streaming down my face. “I’m so sorry, Asher. I couldn’t stop her.” A
Missing Luna: She Is Mine 90: Betrayal
Asher’s POV"Alright, let's go over the whole plan one more time," I said, scanning the room, locking eyes with each person present."Jax and Max, you two will create a diversion at the front entrance. Jonas, you're with me. We'll sneak in through the back and grab her. Kiara, you're our ace in the hole. Once we've got her, you'll take care of the rest."I turned to Jonas, who stood with his arms crossed, his face completely expressionless. His demeanor was suspicious, and I clenched my hands into fists."Jonas, I mean it," I warned. "I don't want to see even a hint of betrayal. You're with us, or you're against us. And if you're against us, I won't hesitate to end you."Jonas didn’t flinch; his expression remained bland and relaxed, almost as if he was bored."I'm with you, Asher," he said flatly. "Don't worry about me."I narrowed my eyes, trying to read him. But there was nothing to read. He was a blank slate, making it even more irritating to look at him."Good," I said finally. "
Missing Luna: She Is Mine 89: A Desperate Alliance
Asher’s POVKiara's voice was a mixture of disbelief and anger. "You let him out? Asher, he’s dangerous! He’s the reason we’re in this mess in the first place.""I know," I said, my voice steady. "But he has information we need. If we’re going to stop Tacha, we need to know everything he knows. I’ll make sure he doesn’t cause any more harm."Kiara shook her head, frustration evident in her eyes. "I can’t believe you trusted him. What if he’s doing all this just to lead us into another trap?""I don’t trust him," I clarified. "But I need him. We need him. And I’ll be watching him closely."Kiara sighed, her expression softening slightly. "Alright, Asher. I trust you. But please, be careful.""I will," I promised, squeezing her hand. "We’ll get through this together."Kiara nodded, though worry still lingered in her eyes. "What’s the plan?""I’m going to meet with Jonas again," I said. "Get more details about the ritual and the spell. In the meantime, I need you to stay safe. Stay here
