Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 56 - Secrets In The House
Joanna’s Point of ViewAs I entered the magnificent villa, a wave of familiarity swept over me.It felt as though the very walls were whispering to me, eager to reveal their secrets. The further I went, the stronger my sense of déjà vu became; it was as if this house was a part of me.The detailed carvings on the wooden beams and the gentle hum of distant music felt familiar, even though I couldn’t recall ever being here. As I absorbed the surroundings, a young woman emerged in the hallway.Given her strong resemblance to Clyde, she had to be his sister. As I turned my face towards her, she observed me curiously, a question burning in her eyes that I couldn't quite identify. When she finally stood before me, it seemed like she considered embracing me but ultimately opted for a handshake."Hi, I'm Natali," she greeted with a gentle smile that didn't fully illuminate her almond-shaped eyes. "Clyde is my big brother and he's shared so much about you with me. One thing's f

Seated comfortably beside Clyde in his luxurious car, I marveled at the smoothness of the ride and enjoyed the refreshing cool air from the air conditioning.The leather seats were soft and plush, giving me the sensation of sinking into a cloud. I glanced sideways at Clyde, who remained focused as he expertly navigated through the buzzling streets of the city."We're nearly there," he said, his voice resonating with a deep, masculine tone. "I can't wait for you to see the project I'm working on. Your feedback is something I’m really looking forward to."I nodded, intrigued by the chance to contribute to his work. I was determined not to give him the impression that I intended to rely on him financially. Although we hadn't discussed specific working conditions, living in his home rent-free and sharing meals with him made a salary unnecessary. The added benefit of assisting him was being able to spend all my time by his side.As Clyde started outlining the details of the investment proj

A week had gone by since Clyde and I began working together, and it felt like we were perfectly in sync.We successfully brought the project to completion, and it turned out to be highly profitable for our company. Tomorrow marks its official launch, a moment I eagerly anticipate. Clyde greatly appreciated my contribution, complimenting me throughout the process."Joanna," Clyde remarked one evening as we finished up our tasks. "You've done an amazing job. Be sure to dress up for tomorrow because I'm taking you out on a date after the ceremony."His words sent a thrill through me, yet I couldn’t ignore the invisible wall he had recently erected between us. He rarely touched me now, though he didn't object when I leaned against him. My feelings for him were intensifying, and I'd moved beyond mere infatuation as these emotions ran much deeper within me. Clyde was the man I loved.I pushed away my fear of potentially going back to Moonlight Seekers and leaving him behind. This evening, I

Crown Prince Clyde’s Point of ViewHaving Joanna around every day was unsettling for my wolf..Xin persistently encouraged me to claim her, leading to frequent conflicts between us. He was impatient and refused to let her declare her love for us on her own terms. Joanna complicated things further with constant physical contact; her accidental touches and gentle kisses on my neck whenever she could send me into a frenzy.All I needed was a straightforward statement that she loved me — loud, clear, and unmistakable —spoken without any pressure from me. Sometimes I sensed she was on the verge of saying something important but then changed her mind at the last moment. In those instances, my heart almost leaped out of my chest with anticipation that my long-awaited moment had arrived. Yet she hesitated, likely lacking the courage to reveal her feelings fully.'You're just a coward, human!' Xin scolded me. 'You hide behind all sorts of excuses. Even if she doesn't say it out

Third Party …The atmosphere in the packhouse felt utterly unsettled following Joanna's departure.Even though she didn't interact much with the pack members, to us high-ranking and close staff, she was like our cherished ward who required extra protection and care. We were more than willing to offer it, safeguarding her from the world's harshness and ensuring no harm would befall her.Now she's gone for good, Clyde is determined never to lose her again.The intensity in his eyes reveals everything, his love for her surpasses even the value of his own life. However, the void left in the packhouse is unmistakable, everyone can sense it deeply. The Luna seat where she usually sat is now vacant once more, and Emma, our cook, still inadvertently sets an extra place next to mine every day.Just like it is today."Emma, you can take the plate away," I reminded her for what felt like the hundredth time. This has become a daily occurrence, and I'm not sure if she's doing it on

Alpha Zane’s Point of ViewAs I disembarked alongside Beta Cleo and entered the lively airport in Latin America, my wolf, Hunter, start getting lively."What's happening?" I inquired, my curiosity heightened. "Does this have to do with seeing Joanna again?" His excitement was contagious, sending a thrill through me and making my heart race.Hunter maintained his energy as we picked up our rental car and headed to the hotel. We drove along a highway flanked by lush green countryside, which offered us a refreshing breath of heavenly fresh air.My thoughts were consumed with Joanna, I was so looking forward to seeing her again.I looked over at my Beta, whose expression remained neutral. Still, I could tell he was excited, though for a different reason. The prospect of seeing Janice again consumed him. He might have tried to deny it even to himself, but the way his eyes sparkled with anticipation whenever he thought I wasn’t watching, gave him away.Cleo handled our hotel check-in, and w

"At last, my own mate!" I whispered, my voice quivering with emotion.However, as it becomes clear to me that she is not just an ordinary werewolf but belongs to a superior race, I momentarily keep my distance. The revelation strikes me like a tidal wave, and I gaze at her with questioning eyes."You're a Lycan," I pointed out the obvious.For a moment, uncertainty flashes in her eyes, that wasn't my intention. I was simply stating a fact. "Is that an obstacle for you?" she asked, her eyes probing mine for any sign of regret.I shook my head as a smile spread across my face."Not at all. If being mated with an Alpha doesn't trouble you, it's perfectly fine by me. You're my mate, I've waited for a long time to have you, and I'm thrilled that you're finally here."A relieved smile crossed her face as I pulled her back to my chest, where she belonged.We stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, we let the world disappear around us. In that moment, nothing else was important, not the e

Meanwhile, back at the venue, Cleo couldn't take his eyes off Janice.His heart ached to go to her, to speak with her, yet something restrained him. He remained rooted in place, observing her from afar. In his eyes, she was the most exquisite creation the Moon Goddess had ever crafted. However, she was not his destined mate and his unwavering beliefs prohibited him from choosing anyone but his fated. Although he knew that she adored him deeply, he couldn’t allow himself to surrender to their emotions.Janice, on the other hand, was visibly disappointed in the Beta.She gazed up at him with a spark of adoration in her eyes, but when he did not move, she sighed. His silence felt like a dagger to her heart. Taking Joanna's hand, she turned toward the door."Let's go, Joanna," she murmured, attempting to conceal the pain in her voice. "I need some fresh air."Joanna nodded, recognizing her friend’s pain. Having observed the exchange between her and the Beta, she felt sympathy for her frie

Alpha Female Janice’s Point of ViewI could feel his constant gaze burning on my skin. He was following me like a shadow, always there, lurking just out of sight. It was a phantom presence that drove my wolf, Mena, to the edge of madness. She whimpered and paced within me, yearning for her mate. It was a primal need to be near him, to feel his presence, but for me, it felt impossible. How could I approach someone I didn't know? I needed to see his face, to know where he was hiding, before I could even begin to bridge the distance between us.Adding to the growing tension was the undeniable urgency of my impending heat.A wave of warmth was starting to radiate from deep within me, a slow, insistent burn that threatened to erupt into a consuming wildfire. Another day, perhaps even less, and I would be forced to isolate myself. I would need to seek refuge from the unmated wolves that my scent would inevitably attract. It would be a siren’s call to them, an irresistible, magnetic pull. I
Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 83 – Somebody Is Watching
The Alpha decided we would extend our stay at the hotel for another three days.He stated that it was to strengthen our bond. Once we arrived in Woodland, he explained, many would demand my attention, and my time would be consumed by pack orientation and other duties. He dreaded losing these precious moments with me and wanted to use this time to allow me to grow accustomed to his constant presence.And he certainly didn’t waste a single moment doing so. The Alpha was constantly near, his intense physical contact a continuous reminder of his desire. His eyes, always on me, held promises that made my breath catch in my throat.At meals, he insisted on having me sit on his lap, feeding me small bites as if I were a delicate bird. His hands were never still, constantly caressing my arm, my waist, sending shivers of awareness through me. His kisses were frequent and passionate; he made it clear to everyone I was his. To my surprise, none of our companions seemed to find this behavior unus
Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 82 – Starting All Over Again
Joanna’s Point of ViewThe Alpha’s arms around me felt intoxicating.A wave of warmth spread through me, a sense of calm I hadn’t realized I craved. I longed to simply lean against him, let the romantic music sweep us away, to lose myself in the moment.Once we arrive in his pack, I think there will be many such occasions, quiet moments of intimacy and connection. I could feel the pull of his attraction, a tangible force that resonated between us.The Alpha’s story about our past largely aligned with what Clyde had told me. However, he had carefully chosen his words, subtly excusing himself from any wrongdoing. He spoke of a “new meeting” between us, but the truth was, he had kidnapped me, taken me against my will. His justification was his right as my mate, but he conveniently overlooked the fact that I also had to agree to the bond, to accept him. And from Natali’s stories, I was fairly certain that I had loved Clyde deeply, even then, and I hadn’t been ready to give
Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 81 – Another Chance
Joanna was a whirlwind of energy, a fanatical singer lost in the music.She sang along loudly with the lyrics of the love song the live band played, her face beaming with every line. It was a captivating sight, her joy infectious.I wrapped my arms around her from behind, pulling her close, and we swayed gently to the rhythm. She melted into my embrace, tilting her head back so that her warm breath caressed my face. The intimate touch sent a shiver of pleasure down my spine.Watching her, truly seeing her this happy, was all the entertainment I needed.She closed her eyes, completely lost in the beat, her hands resting on mine, which were firmly placed on her belly. This was how I wanted to hold her forever, here in my arms, where she belonged. The thought settled deep within me, a sense of rightness I hadn't felt in what seemed like an eternity.“You don’t know how beautiful you look right now, baby,” I whispered huskily in her ear.The words were inadequate to express the depth of m
Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 80 – Haunted Past
The moment we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by a wave of laughter and music.The place was packed, buzzing with chattering voices and the sound of clinking glasses. Just perfect. The crowd offered a convenient excuse to stay close to Joanna and subtly breathe in her intoxicating scent. It had lodged itself into my subconscious, igniting a deep-seated longing within me.I spotted a high table tucked away in a quieter corner, a perfect retreat from the bustling crowd. I gently guided Joanna towards it, my hand resting lightly on the small of her back, the warmth of her skin radiating through the thin fabric of her dress. The others trailing slightly behind.Once a waitress took our drink orders, Elena initiated the conversation.“Joanna, it was pure coincidence that I recognized you in the boutique,” she began casually. “We arrived here a few weeks ago after leaving the Moonlight Seekers. But we couldn’t find you there and were already on our way back to our pack. What brough

Alpha Abel’s Point of View As soon as my mate stepped out of the elevator, her scent washed over me, a wave of pure sensory bliss.That delicious vanilla, mingled with the delicate fragrance of fresh morning dew, conquered my senses, turning my world upside down. She was breathtaking in that red dress, a garment I knew Elena had chosen for her. My secretary certainly had good taste, although I was surprised that Joanna needed assistance in the boutique.Women, to my knowledge, were usually sophisticated shopaholics, their appreciation for an item increasing proportionally to the price tag and the willingness of someone else to foot the exorbitant bill.But not my Joanna. My mate was different.Elena’s investigation reports indicated that she came from a simple background. Joanna was adopted by a lower-middle-class couple who now live comfortably off the salary she gratefully transferred to them. The Mancinis had essentially taken over her entire life,

Joanna’s Point of ViewMy heart hammered against my ribs, I was nervous as hell.I checked my reflection in the mirror for what felt like the hundredth time. The dark red dress, tight at the bodice and flowing loosely from my hips, flattered my figure. It was Elena’s choice, a woman I wasn’t sure whether to call a friend or simply an acquaintance.“Hey, take it easy, Joanna,” Janice’s soothing voice cut through my anxious thoughts. As a werewolf, she could likely hear the frantic rhythm of my heart. She gently stroked my back, a reassuring touch that calmed my breathing somewhat. Taking my hands in hers, she stood in front of me, her gaze steady and supportive.“You know what?” she suggested. “Let this be a new beginning. You don’t remember him, so think of this as a blind date. If the chemistry is there, build a relationship with the Alpha, honestly and sincerely. He feels the bond with you, and if he’s smart, he’ll give you the space you need to adjust.”It was the unspoken implicat
Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 77 – A Surprise Visit
Alpha Abel wrestled with his inner wolf, Hex, who was practically vibrating with impatience.‘I want to see our mate,’ Hex growled, the words echoing in Abel’s mind like a physical demand. “Let’s pay her a visit. Now! ’He yearned to hold Joanna again, to reassure her, to whisper promises of protection and love.’In a few hours, you’ll have every chance to admire her, ’ Abel countered, attempting to maintain a semblance of control. ’Let’s go back to our room and get some rest ourselves. Bet it’s going to be a long evening.’’Sleep? ’ the wolf growled angrily, the word laced with disbelief. ’Why would I want to sleep when my mate is staying in the same hotel as us? She should be here, in our arms. That’s where she belongs. ’Shaking his head, Abel stepped into the elevator, the doors sliding shut, offering a brief respite from Hex’s relentless prodding.’I warn you not to rush her, Hex,’ he threatened. ’She doesn’t remember us. We have to regain her trust. Imposing ourselves will only

“I want to see our mate,” Hex, Alpha Abel’s wolf, growled insistently, the words rumbling deep within Abel’s mind.He longed to hold Joanna again, to feel the warmth of her body against his after so long. All he wanted was to reassure her that everything would be alright, that she didn’t have to worry about anything. He would take care of her, protect her from any harm. The need to be near her was a burning ache within him. “In a few hours, you’ll have every chance to admire her,” Abel pointed out. “Let’s go back to our room and get some rest ourselves. I’m sure this is going to be a long evening. I won’t let her go away easily after searching for her this long.” “Rest?” the wolf growled again, this time with a sharp edge of anger. “Why would I want to sleep when my mate is staying in the same hotel as us? She should be with us, sleeping in our arms. That’s where she belongs.” The primal possessiveness in Hex’s voice was undeniable. Shak
