THE LYCAN ALPHA’S CONTRACT LUNA Chapter 11
AURORA Driving back to Blackwater, I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my mind spinning with anxiety. I knew I’d crossed a line. I had left on my own, slipped away without telling Ethan, and now I had to face him. I did not even want to think twice about what he was thinking at the moment. I did not know how many people he had invited today to witness the wedding, and he just thought that I stood him up. Did he regret deciding to marry me?My chest tightened at the thought of his reaction. He had every right to be angry. If the roles were reversed, I’d feel the same way. I would perhaps even have a worse reaction than he would ever think of having. When I arrived at the palace and stepped inside, I immediately spotted Ethan and Kiara in the sitting room, casually watching a movie. They looked relaxed, and at ease, and for a moment, I hesitated, feeling like an intruder. She was probably there with him when I left. She must have convinced him that she was right to be wary of me in

AURORA The next morning, I woke up with the biggest smile on my face because it was my wedding day. I have been married twice, and it was not a love match but there was something to this one that I liked. The air was filled with the buzz of celebration. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the soft fabric of my dress, my heart pounding. Today was the day I would become Mrs. Grey. It felt surreal, almost like I was living someone else’s life. I never thought I was ever going to get married again. When you get married to the alpha of your pack, you are set to know that you are only going to separate from him when death carries one of you. But I did the impossible and I am out of the clutches of that. I took a breath while I was trying to keep my veil in place. I heard a gentle knock, and Jada entered, her face lighting up when she saw me. “You look beautiful, Luna.”I smiled, “Thank you, Jada. I can’t wait for the wedding to happen already.”She tilted her head, giving me a knowi

AURORA When I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was that Ethan wasn’t beside me. The sheets were cold, his side of the bed empty, as though he’d never been there at all. A pang of disappointment crept in, and I felt a flush of embarrassment as I replayed the events of last night. I’d let myself believe, just for a moment, that maybe there was something real between us. But now, lying alone in the morning light, it was hard not to feel foolish. I tried to not have expectations, but it was hard when he held me in his arms like he did last night. I got up, trying to shake the feeling of vulnerability that lingered. I washed up and dressed, mentally reminding myself that this was just an arrangement, nothing more. What had happened between us was part of our agreement, a way to fulfill the contract, and nothing else. As I stepped outside, I spotted Sarah, Ethan’s sister, walking toward me, her usual bright smile in place. She waved, and I forced a smile, trying to bury the disap

DAMIANSitting alone in my chambers, I poured another glass of whiskey, the amber liquid shimmering under the dim light. I’d lost count of how many drinks I’d had tonight, but the bitterness in my chest wouldn’t go away, no matter how much I tried to drown it. Everything had fallen apart, and I couldn’t figure out where it all went wrong.Evelyn had left a few days ago, saying she was taking a trip with some friends, and I hadn’t heard from her since. Her absence gnawed at me, leaving a hollow space that only made me more suspicious. I needed answers. Why had my plans with the witch been exposed? Who had leaked the secret of my attempt to bring Aurora back? And was Evelyn involved? There could barely be a reason why she had left immediately after we had gotten in touch with the witch. A sharp knock on the door broke through my thoughts, and I looked up, bleary-eyed and irritated. “Come in,” I called out, setting the glass aside and trying to shake off the fog of alcohol.A guard ente

AURORAI went to sit down on my bed as I opened the letter. Damian’s handwriting scrawled across the page, his words unsettling:‘Aurora, I know you think I’m desperate, but this isn’t about me wanting you back. I am sorry about how I left things with us when you came. I wasn’t angry and hurt, even though it did not justify the way I acted. I know I cannot erase the past four years, but there is really something I need to tell you. It’s about something much more important than me wanting you back. You need to know the truth. Ethan isn’t who he says he is. I’ll explain everything if you give me a chance. Please, Aurora, for your own safety. You can come to meet me whenever it suits you.’I shook my head, letting out a small, frustrated laugh. For my safety? Damian was reaching, trying to twist things to make me doubt Ethan. I knew he wanted me back, not because he cared, but because he needed my help to reclaim his power in the pack. I knew his brothers, and that they were just waiting

DAMIAN The next morning, I found myself pacing in the gazebo, running my hands through my hair as I tried to calm the restless energy that had been building since yesterday. My thoughts were consumed by Aurora. I could not believe her defiance, the way she’d walked out without looking back, and the feeling of her slipping further from my grasp. She was out there, away from me, living in Ethan’s pack, and it was driving me mad.I had thought the feeling was going to reduce but for the last few days, it had only gotten worse. I wanted her so badly here with me. If she wanted me to, I would turn the whole world over if it meant she would be with me. I poured myself another glass of wine, hoping it might numb the frustration gnawing at me. But as I took a sip, the taste only served to sharpen my focus. I need her back. That was all that mattered now.I did not even know if it had to do with the pack anymore. The rejection had hurt more than anything had and all I wanted now was her back

AURORA The next day, Ethan called me. We had a brief conversation, which had me smiling and blushing behind my phone throughout. I did not know why just speaking with him had left me this way. God, it felt like I was genuinely cooked. It had literally left me buzzing with excitement. After days of waiting for him to come back, hearing his voice again had brought a smile to my face, and the promise that he’d be back tomorrow had lifted a weight I didn’t realize I’d been carrying.As soon as we hung up, I found myself planning. I showered, shaved my legs, and picked out an outfit that I hoped would make it look effortless but cute. I did not want to let him think that I was planning to dress up for him. That would feel too intimate. My heart pounded at the thought of seeing him again, wondering if he’d be as happy to see me as I was to see him.The next afternoon, I found myself downstairs, unable to stay in my room, waiting for any sound that would signal his arrival. When I finally h

AURORA I was deep in sleep when something jolted me awake. My eyes fluttered open, and I felt an odd chill, the kind that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Blinking, I scanned the room, my vision adjusting to the dim light, and that’s when I noticed it. The window was open, allowing a soft breeze to drift in.I knew I hadn’t left it open, so who had opened it? I thought maybe it was the breeze, since I did not hear anyone come into the room. I swung my legs over the bed, feeling the cold floor beneath my feet as I walked over to close it. As I moved, my mind drifted back to the pain that I was sleeping to forget. I wished that I did not even wake up right now and had slept more. I needed this out of my system.The cool air and the loneliness in this room all felt like a reminder of the distance between us. The harsh words he had uttered to me still lingered, making my heart ache. As I reached for the window, the hairs on my neck prickled again. I turned, my breath catchi

AURORA I woke up slowly, the heavy fog in my head lifting like a curtain. My eyes blinked against the dim light, and as my vision cleared, I realized I wasn’t in my room.Panic prickled at the edges of my mind. I sat up, my heart thumping loudly in my chest as I took in the unfamiliar surroundings. Ethan’s room.Why was I here?The last thing I remembered was coming home after spending the day at the library. I had been careful, threading my way past everyone, yet here I was.I swung my legs over the side of the bed, a sense of unease wrapping around me. My satchel. My spell book. My pendant. Where were they?I tore through the room, checking under the bed, inside the drawers, and even behind the heavy curtains, but there was no sign of my belongings.A chill ran down my spine. Had Ethan taken them?I slipped out of his room, careful to avoid anyone in the hallways. When I reached my own room, I locked the door and grabbed my phone. My hands shook as I dialed Anton’s number.“Pick up
THE LYCAN ALPHA’S CONTRACT LUNA Chapter 44
DAMIAN I stared down at Aurora’s limp body, her breathing steady but faint. Her pale face looked peaceful, almost serene, but the truth behind her stillness made my chest tighten.Carefully, I bent down and scooped her into my arms. She felt lighter than I expected, fragile even. For a moment, a flicker of hesitation passed through me, but I buried it quickly.This wasn’t about her. This was about me.Once we were in my room, I laid her on the bed, adjusting the pillows beneath her head. The witch was arriving soon, and everything needed to be in place.As I turned to grab a chair, my eyes landed on her satchel. It sat there innocently, draped over her shoulder.Curiosity gnawed at me, and before I could stop myself, I reached for it.What could she possibly need to carry everywhere?I opened the bag, and my hand froze when I pulled out a thick, leather-bound book. My pulse quickened as I flipped it open, my eyes scanning the symbols and spells scrawled across the pages.A spell book

AURORAWhen I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the ceiling. It wasn’t mine. Even though I had changed rooms, it was still not the same layout as the one I had now. My stomach dropped. I sat up quickly, the ache in my body forgotten as I took in the familiar surroundings. I took in the luscious furniture, and then I came to the realization of where I was quickly. Ethan’s room.What the hell was I doing here?I racked my brain for answers, but everything was hazy. The last thing I could recall was coming back home after the library. How had I ended up in his room? Lifting my legs off the bed, I stood, my knees wobbling slightly. My heart raced as I scanned the room for my satchel. I checked under the bed, the closet, and every corner, but it was nowhere to be found.Panic surged through me. My spell book was in that satchel, along with my pendant. If Ethan had taken it… Did he know that I was a witch now? I wondered if he was somewhere planning my destruction. A shiver ran up my
THE LYCAN ALPHA’S CONTRACT LUNA Chapter 42
AURORAI stared down at the pendant I had brought in frustration, then at the spell book spread open in front of me. The protection spell I’d been trying to cast all day refused to work, no matter how carefully I followed the instructions. It was like there was something missing. The electricity in the air that I had felt when I first came was gone, and now it just felt bland. Like I was reading random words from a book. “Focus,” I muttered under my breath, gripping the small pendant tightly. The words from the book swirled in my head as I tried again.The pendant remained lifeless, stubbornly resisting my efforts. By the time the sun began to set, I was exhausted and defeated. Maybe it was because I was new at this, or maybe I was just terrible at it, but the spell wasn’t happening today. I needed some rest, and then maybe I would call my father to help me with some tips on how to concentrate. With a sigh, I packed up my things, carefully tucking the book back into my satchel. “Tom
THE LYCAN ALPHA’S CONTRACT LUNA Chapter 41
ETHANThe anger coursing through me felt like fire. Aurora had crossed yet another line by walking out after I explicitly told her she couldn’t leave. She didn’t understand boundaries, and it made my blood boil in ways no one made it boil. And worse of it all, I could not do anything about it. If it was someone else in her shoes, I would have long drained them and called it a day because no one annoyed me like that and went free. But this was Aurora.I clenched my fists, pacing my office as I tried to rein in my temper. I wanted to punish her, and make her realize the consequences of disobedience. But I couldn’t risk acting on impulse. Not yet. Aurora wasn’t just a rebellious thorn in my side, she was a key to something bigger. Something I couldn’t yet understand.After I was done with breakfast, I finally received the message I’d been waiting for. The witch I’d been trying to contact for years had agreed to meet. She arrived under heavy disguise, her hooded cloak casting shadows over
THE LYCAN ALPHA’S CONTRACT LUNA Chapter 40
AURORA The dream came again. It was so vivid and suffocating. I was lying on the cold ground, unable to move, as three vampires hovered over me. Their fangs were exposed, red and shiny right above me and there was nothing I could do. Their snarls filled my ears. I tried to scream, to push them away, but my body wouldn’t cooperate. The first bite came, sharp and deep, and then the second, each one draining me faster than I could comprehend.I bolted upright in bed, my chest heaving as if I’d just run a marathon. Sweat clung to my skin, my heart hammering in my chest. For a moment, I gripped the sheets tightly, grounding myself in reality. I looked around, trying to see anything I could fixate on that would calm my racing heart. “It’s just a dream,” I whispered to the empty room.But it didn’t feel like one. I could feel the weight of the necklace pressed against my collarbone, still warm. It was still giving me these darn glimpses of the future and even though it terrified me knowing
THE LYCAN ALPHA’S CONTRACT LUNA Chapter 39
DAMIAN I was pacing the length of my office, my mind filled with chaotic thoughts. Every time I thought of Aurora and of what Ethan had done, of her being trapped in that palace, I felt like my blood was boiling. I needed to get her out of there. I had to. But every option I considered led to dead ends. I could not ask my people to go to war for this. There was too much at stakes. I needed to do this the smart way, but it was like whatever smart way I thought of had too many loopholes. I might actually be stuck. I clenched my fists, trying to shake the helplessness that weighed on me. I hated this feeling. I wanted to act, to fight, to destroy anything standing between me and her, but I couldn’t risk charging in blindly. Not with Ethan being as dangerous as he was. A soft knock broke through my thoughts.“Come in,” I called, trying to sound composed even as my nerves were all over the place.The door opened, and Evelyn strode in, her heels clicking against the polished floor. Her pr
THE LYCAN ALPHA’S CONTRACT LUNA Chapter 38
AURORAI stood at the window, my fingers trembling as I clutched the towel tightly around me. Outside, shards of my burner phone glinted on the grass below, the broken a perfect reflection of how I felt inside. Ethan hadn’t hit me. At least not yet, but the look in his eyes had been terrifying. I could not help but think back at what he did to my mother, and what he could do to me. I wondered at that moment how easy it would be for him to kill me and nothing was going to happen. No one could face him, and no one could hurt him. He had stationed himself at a very high place that he was untouchable. It was then I came to the conclusion that I couldn’t stay here. Not anymore.Grabbing my personal phone, I slipped into the bathroom and locked the door. The cold tiles beneath my feet made me shiver, but it was nothing compared to the chill in my chest. I wondered who to call. Who was going to help me, because for all I knew Ethan was downstairs preparing for ways he was going to hurt me.
THE LYCAN ALPHA’S CONTRACT LUNA Chapter 37
AURORA I sat in my office, staring blankly at the papers scattered across my desk. The anger in my chest was still simmering, but it wasn’t as explosive as it had been earlier. I knew I’d crossed the line. That much was clear. I should not have done that. I would never hurt a woman that way. Thankfully, she was just exhausted that was why she collapsed not because I caused some damage to her. I hated that I did that to her. The door burst open, and I looked up to see Kiara storming in, followed closely by Sarah. Both of them looked furious, their footsteps echoing loudly in the room. I knew I was about to be chastised, and I did not want to be. I was tired and already felt guilty enough.“What the hell were you thinking?” Kiara snapped, slamming her hands down on my desk.I leaned back in my chair, letting out a long sigh. “Kiara, not now.”“No, now, Ethan,” Sarah chimed in, her voice sharp. “What you did was unacceptable. Do you even realize how bad it was? Do you care?”“I lost my
