Missing Luna: She Is Mine 45: Midnight Secrets
WRITER’S POVHer grip on him was surprisingly firm. Her eyes bore into his, and her voice carried an urgency that made him pause.“Will you be at the village festival tonight?” she asked, her fingers still gripping his wrist.Max blinked, taken aback by the sudden question. "Yes," he replied cautiously, "It’s an annual tradition. How about you?" He inquired, his eyes moving to settle on her injured leg.Her gaze dropped to her injured legs, wrapped in makeshift bandages. “I had planned to attend,” she confessed, “but now, I fear I won’t manage.”“Rest is wise,” Max advised. “You should stay home and take care of your leg and stepmother.”Her nod held both gratitude and something deeper—an unspoken plea. As he turned away, she tightened her grip on his wrist, her fingers cool against his skin as his pulse quickened.“Then I must warn you,” she said. “Listen carefully. You must leave before midnight strikes. If you and your brother want to survive, heed my warning.”Max furrowed his bro

WRITER’S POVJax and Max stood shoulder to shoulder, their gazes tracking Caleb as he vanished once more into a group of giggling girls. Max swiveled towards Jax, his brow furrowed with worry."What do we do?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.Jax shrugged, his gaze distant. "I don't know," he admitted, his voice mirroring Max's whisper. "But we have to wait and see."Max nodded, "Alright."As they stood there, wine glasses delicately cradled in their hands, Max nudged Jax with a subtle elbow. His gaze discreetly drifted towards a group of girls, their eyes sparkling with interest and casting flirtatious glances their way. “It appears you’ve attracted some admirers,” he teased.Jax shrugged him off nonchalantly. A hint of annoyance flashed in his deep-set eyes, momentarily replacing the usual calm. “I’m not interested,” he stated firmly, his voice resolute and leaving no room for further discussion.Max raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk playing on his lips. “Is that so?

ASHER’S POVSmoke filled the air, thick and suffocating, as I ventured into the remnants of the village. The homes, once full of life, were now partly burnt out, their wooden frames ravaged by the relentless fire. The fire seemed to mock the sky, its flames dancing and flickering as they ascended ever higher. The villagers huddled together, their fear palpable as they struggled for survival. Their eyes pleaded for aid, but their cries for help were drowned out by the noise. I surveyed the surroundings, absorbing every minute detail. The earth beneath my boots was scorched, drenched in blood, bearing silent testimony to the battle that had transpired here. Blood stained the stones, a vivid red marking the site of the fierce battle. The lifeless bodies of people and rogues were strewn about, their forms twisted and shattered in death’s final dance. The rogue wolves had shown no mercy, their claws and teeth carving a deadly trail. “Why would the rogues attack this peaceful village?” I

I nodded, turning to the one who had introduced himself as Max, awaiting his reply.He looked shocked by my offer. “Yes, I will,” he agreed. However, before we could set off, two more boys appeared - the same ones that were with him back at the hall.“I’m Jax Bonnet,” one of them introduced himself, “and this is our friend, Caleb. We’d like to come with you.”I nodded, gesturing for them to join us. As we walked, I could feel the questions bubbling up inside me. I wanted to know everything about Lisa - her childhood, the accident that caused her to lose her memory. However, I was also afraid of what I might discover.What if it turned out exactly as I had h

He tilted my face upward, making sure my eyes met his—those deep pools mirroring a storm of emotions.“Asher,” I whispered, my voice barely more than a breath in the stillness, “What are you doing?”He didn’t respond with words. Instead, he cupped my cheeks with both hands, and leaned in, his lips claimed mine, silencing my questions. The kiss was an inferno, igniting within me a passion that devoured all coherent thought. I was lost in its intensity, my mind dissolving into nothingness.With my eyes closed, I surrendered to the fervor of the moment. Our lips danced together in a silent conversation of desire and need.

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 could feel the steady rise and fall of her breathing, the warmth of her body against mine.

Missing Luna: She Is Mine 93: Guilt Grip

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.

"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.

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. "

"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.
