THE LUNA I NOW CRAVE CHAPTER 51
Vanya POV I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my phone as the glow of the screen illuminated my worried expression. The comment I had posted under Cian's taunting message was still racking up likes and responses, a flood of reactions pouring in from all corners of the internet. People were taking sides, speculating, laughing, jeering-it was all one big, twisted circus. But the thrill of throwing Cian's arrogance back in his face had worn off. Now, doubt gnawed at me. Have I done the right thing? I couldn't tell if my response had been an act of defiance or a rash mistake. I had wanted to hurt him, to put him in his place, but the fear of retaliation lingered like a dark cloud. Cian was not the type to take public humiliation lightly, and I knew this spat was far from over. Lost in my thoughts, I nearly jumped when I heard a soft knock at the door. Marco stepped in, looking pale but determined. He was moving slowly, still recovering from the ordeal of that night, but

Vanya's POVLater that evening, Emilia prepared dinner with all of my favorite dishes, trying to lift my spirit after the past days events. The meal was delicious, but I could barely taste it. The tension and anxiety from everything that had happened were still weighing heavily on me, and i found it hard to enjoy anything. As we sat around the table, trying to make small talk, my phone buzzed on the table. I glanced at it and saw the endless notifications pouring in comments, messages, tags. The internet drama was still raging, and now it seemed to have taken on a life of its own. My heart sank as I opened my direct messages, only to be bombarded with questions from strangers--mostly women, asking me how my night with Cian had been, whether the rumors about him being a monster in bed were true. Some messages were crude, others curious, but all were intrusive, a reminder that my life was now fodder for public consumption. I scrolled through the messages, my stomach churning

Cian POV I walked into the room where David was slumped against the wall, blood dripping from the gash across his face. The sight was unexpected, to say the least. David had always been one of my more reliable men---sharp, quick on his feet, and not prone to getting caught off guard. But now, here he was, looking thoroughly defeated, a crumpled figure nursing his wounds. My lips curled into a cruel smirk as I crossed the room, my footsteps echoing ominously in the silence. "Well, well, what do we have here?" I drawled, crouching down in front of David. "You really did let a weak, wolfless girl beat you up? Damn, David, you're getting rusty." David winced, both from the pain and the mockery in my tone. He looked up at me, his expression a mix of shame and frustration. "She had a silver dagger," David muttered defensively. "What did you want me to do? She was aiming to kill." I arched an eyebrow, leaning in closer. "And you're telling me that you, one of my best men, cou

Cian's POV Josephine didn't notice the shift in my focus. She was too lost in the moment, too eager to believe that my twisted game was all for her. And when our bodies finally came together, she was certain that we were united in our purpose, in our desire to make Vanya suffer. But my thoughts were far from revenge. All I could think about was Vanya---the way she resisted me, the way she fought back. I knew I would have her, no matter what it took. And the more she defied me, the more determined I became to break her. Later, as I lay beside Josephine, my phone buzzed with an urgent message. Reluctantly, I pulled away from her and checked the screen, my expression darkening as I read the alert. An emergency meeting had been called in the pack's war room---a spy had been caught, and my presence was required. "I have to go," I said, getting out of bed and quickly dressing. "What...what?" She asked in utter confusion. I kept mute. Josephine watched me, her expression one of bo

Vanya's POV:I walked quietly into Marco's room, my footsteps light on the hardwood floor. I grabbed the doorknob and pulled the door open. The room was dim, the soft glow of the lamp casting long shadows across the bed where Marco lay sleeping. I walked over to his bedside, His chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm, the once-pale color of his skin slowly returning to a healthier shade. It was a relief to see him like this, to know that he was getting better after the horrific ordeal with Cian. I reached down to adjust his blanket, tucking it carefully around him. As I did, something hard and angular brushed against my fingers under the pillow. I hesitated, my heart skipping a beat as I pulled out a small, worn leather-bound journal. I knew instantly that this was one of my father's journals. But what was it doing here, under Marco's pillow? Glancing back at Marco to ensure he was still asleep, I slipped the journal under my shirt. I left the room quietly, a sense of unease
THE LUNA I NOW CRAVE CHAPTER 56
Vanya's POVLater that day, I tried to push the journal and my father's warnings to the back of my mind, but they lingered like a dark cloud over my thoughts. Every time I looked at Marco, I saw the fear in my father's writing reflected in his eyes. And every time I tried to ignore it, the memory of my father's voice echoed in my mind, urging me to be careful. As the day wore on, I knew I couldn't just let it go. Whatever secrets Marco was keeping, I had to find out. If it was just a mere fight or not, I will find out. ******** I stepped out of my car and took a deep breath, trying to shake off the unease that had settled in the pit of my stomach since that morning. The journal weighed heavily in my bag, a constant reminder of the secrets it held and the tension that now colored my interactions with Marco. I had spent the entire weekend wrestling with what I had read. But now it was Monday, and I needed to focus. The familiar sights and sounds of my workplace offered

Cian POV I leaned back in my leather chair, my eyes narrowing as I considered my next move. The plan was starting to take shape, each piece falling into place like a well-crafted puzzle. My fingers drummed rhythmically on the polished wood of my desk as I gazed out of the large window of my office, the view of the sprawling city below doing little to quell the dark thoughts brewing in my mind.David had been a disappointment --- getting himself beaten up by Vanya, of all people, had been nothing short of embarrassing. But now, he was going to be given a chance to redeem himself. And I was nothing if not strategic; I knew how to use people, how to bend them into doing exactly what I needed. That was my gift, my power. It is why I'm the alpha, why I rule with an iron fist."David," I said, my voice low and calculated as I looked across the room at my subordinate. David was still nursing the bruises from his last encounter with Vanya, his face a mess of healing cuts and fading discolora
THE LUNA I NOW CRAVE CHAPTER 58
Cian's POV I parked my car a short distance from Jacobs Kitchen, my golden eyes narrowing as I watched the entrance to the building. The sun was beginning to set, casting long shadows across the street, but I remained patient, my predatory instincts sharp as ever.As the clock struck 6 PM, employees began filtering out of the building, heading home after a long day of work. My gaze sharpened as I spotted Tara among them, her face tired but still carrying the determined expression I had come to expect from Vanya's most loyal assistant. She was an easy target, isolated and vulnerable---just the kind of person I could bend to my will.I stepped out of the car, my presence immediately commanding attention. Tara looked up and froze as she saw me approach, her eyes widening with a mixture of fear and uncertainty. My lips curved into a faint smile, one that didn't reach my eyes."Tara," I said smoothly, my voice a low purr that buried the menace behind it. "I've been waiting for you."Tara'
