Rising From the Ashes of Her Past ( A Lunas Tale) Chapter 26
From Arina’s POV|It wasn't easy to listen to everything Maribelle said about my father. The betrayal did not only come from Maribelle but also from my father. It felt like I was no longer a priority in my father's life. I was confused and hurt and didn't understand why he would do this to me. If that's what the Mate Bond did, I could understand why Alexandre was reluctant to find a mate in the first place. It was difficult to accept that he had neglected me in favor of fulfilling his desires. It made me question whether the mate bond was worth the struggles and sacrifices it brought. The more I thought about it, the more questions that arose: Was I not worth fighting for? If I'm not worth it, who is? That thought made me ponder the concept of self-worth and whether I held a valid place in the universe. I knew there was more to this, but right now, I couldn’t see past the fact that Maribelle was the one who carried out my father's final day. She helped him. I could hear them talki

From Arina’a POV We entered the coffee shop. It smelled so delicious. The freshly ground coffee and oven-baking smell of the freshly-baked pastries filled the air with an inviting aroma. The coffee shop was bustling with activity and the baristas were busy working, making sure every cup of coffee was perfect. The sight of the steaming espresso and the comforting smell of the coffee beans were a welcome sight. Alexandre walked us up to register and he ordered an order of bagels and a large canister of fresh ground coffee. When he asked me if I wanted anything in particular, I looked at the menu. I hesitated for a moment, then asked if I could get a couple of croissants. Alexandre nodded and added my request to the order. The order was placed, and we waited for it to arrive. When it did, we quickly gathered up our things headed back out to the car, and began the drive home. Arriving home we gathered up the food and walked inside. Everyone was still asleep so Alexandre and I decided t

From Arina’a POV After breakfast, Alexandre and Thiago excused themselves to attend to pack business. This left me to think about the coming day's events. I was feeling anxious, but I knew I had to remain focused and be prepared for whatever might come. I took a few deep breaths and reminded myself I was ready to take on whatever was in store. I was worried about what was to come. What would my mother say once she found out I was here? Could I still consider her my mother? I took a deep breath, realizing that these were questions I may never have an answer to. Wanting to clear my thoughts, I headed to the pool, deciding that going for a swim might help clear my mind. I slowly submerged myself in the cool water. The feeling of the water surrounding me was calming and I felt my worries drift away. Taking a few strokes, I focused on the calming rhythm of my arms and legs and let my mind wander. The first thought I had was my father. I thought about the stories he would tell me. Cl

From Alexandre’s POV The moment Jordan said Luna Eleni was here and she had brought a guest, anger washed over me. We had agreed to her arrival in two days, but why she came now was an insult to me. I tried to stay calm and keep my composure. I knew I had to maintain my cool in front of Arina, even though I was boiling with rage inside. I took a few deep breaths and forced a smile onto my face. Clearing my throat as Arina and I walked hand in hand, Luna Eleni turned to see us. Her facial expression conveyed anger and confusion. I spoke up first, keeping my voice calm and even. "Luna Eleni?" I asked, extending my hand to her. Luna Eleni slowly took my hand and nodded in response. She glanced at Arina and me, before turning her attention back to me. "Alexandre, how are you?" she asked. "I’m well," I said, giving Luna Eleni a polite nod, then turning to the guy next her I asked, “And you are?” “Forgive me Alexandre, this is Rick, my chosen mate” Luna Eleni said with a smug grin on

From Alexandre’s POV I couldn't sit still knowing my mate was in the operating room. My heart clenched at the thought of losing her. I finally understood what my mother endured the two times my father almost died with my father. How could I be so stupid and leave her alone. I should have stayed at her side or better yet I should’ve had her stay in the room away at least she would have been safe. I felt so guilty for not being there to protect her and vowed never to make the same mistake again. “My king” I saw a man wearing a white lab coat approach. “I’m Doctor Stevenson,” he said, extending his hand to me. I shook his hand and asked, “How is she?" he replied softly, “She’s stable, we’ve managed to stop the bleeding and her vitals are stable. Her wolf had already started healing her. We’ve started her on antibiotics and we’ll keep her monitored closely over the next few days.” I nodded, thankful for his professionalism and reassuring presence. He smiled sympathetically. “She’ll b

From Arina’a POV I opened my eyes and saw I was in a white room. I had no recollection as to how I got here. My entire body was in pain, and I had a splitting headache. I tried to sit up, but every movement sent a wave of nausea through me. I noticed an IV drip connected to my arm and heard a faint beeping coming from somewhere. I had no idea what was going on. The door opened and Marielle entered, a wave of panic washed over me, and as she approached me with a chart I grabbed hold of her arm. "Where am I?" I asked with tears streaming down my face. "Tell me" I yelled at her. All of a sudden Alexandre ran into the room. He put his arm around me and said, "It's OK, you're safe now." Maribelle looked at us both and said, "You're at the hospital, everything is going to be alright." Alexandre hugged me tightly and he and Maribelle began to explain what had happened. I was thrown out the office window by Luna Eleni. The only thing that didn't make any sense was that she never laid

From Alexandre’s POV "Thiago briefed me on what happened," he said, gesturing in Arina's direction. "How is she?" he asked with profound concern. "She's doing better," I answered, my voice heavy with worry. "Father, the things that have been occurring are unbelievable," I replied, shaking my head. In shame, I said, "I'm not sure I can handle this, I don't know what I'm dealing with, I need your guidance.". Though I was the son of the great Lycan King Leonidas, I was clueless. With a deep sigh, my father looked at me and said, "You must find the courage and strength within you to face this challenge. Remember, you are the son of a great king, and you are capable of great things." I knew he meant those words and they resonated well with me, but there was another problem I needed assistance with. I glanced back at Arina. "I never wanted a Mate," I said, turning back to my father. His expression was thoughtful, "After what happened with Mom, I just never wanted to put my mate
Rising From the Ashes of Her Past ( A Lunas Tale) Chapter 33
From Arina’s POV Waking up the next morning to the sound of Alexandre's voice, I saw him standing at the bedroom door. I could hear a man's voice but couldn't make out who he was talking to. Alexandre turned around when he heard Kiara barking. He walked over to the bed with a loving smile on his face. He leaned forward and kissed me gently on the forehead then patted Kiara gently on her head. “Good morning,” he said softly. I smiled back at him and returned the greeting. He stood and signaled for the person at the door to enter. Turning back to me he said "Arina, this is my father Leonidas, former King of the Lycan Blood Pack." Leonidas stepped into the room and bowed his head to me in respect. He smiled warmly and said, “It is an honor to meet you.” Leonidas continued, “We are all very pleased to have you here and we look forward to getting to know you better.”I smiled back and thanked him for his kind words. I was feeling a bit uneasy. Alexandre seemed to catch on as he turned
