THE LYCAN ALPHA’S CONTRACT LUNA Chapter 9
DAMIAN Evelyn got everything ready in record time while I was trying to get my claim back on the throne to be strong after my mate was gone. They had given me some time to bring her back to the pack and make her my wife once again. I knew that I had to be fast, and Evelyn was quick to make that happen.The road stretched out before us, winding and empty. The towering trees seemed to loom closer with every mile. I sat in the back seat, arms crossed, my thoughts tangled and chaotic while I still tried to catch on with some work. Wyatt, my beta, was driving while Evelyn sat beside him in the front, her eyes flicking back at me from time to time.It felt strange, like this whole trip was a bad idea. It felt like a betrayal to my pack and everything I’d once stood for. But then again, nothing felt right since Aurora left. My anger, emptiness, and everything seemed magnified now that she was gone. She had left me so exposed to my feelings that getting up during the day had become a hassle

AURORAI sat before the mirror, my heart pounding as I stared at my reflection. Today was my wedding day. The reality of it felt overwhelming, and a strange mix of excitement and anxiety filled me. I was about to marry Ethan. He had been nothing but supportive and kind to me. But still, there was that nagging feeling of doubt. Was I doing the right thing?Behind me, Jada, my handmaiden, was gently combing my hair, murmuring softly. “You look beautiful, Luna,” she said, her eyes meeting mine in the mirror with a smile.“Thank you, Jada,” I replied, smiling back, though I wasn’t sure I believed it. I felt nervous and uncertain. I glanced down at the necklace around my neck, the last gift from my mother. Its weight felt familiar and comforting to me. Even though I told myself that I was going to let myself be at home here, I was not entirely sure that I allowed myself to be that. I was still a little bit wary about the pack, and I did not want to beat myself over it because it was too e

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

THE LYCAN ALPHA’S CONTRACT LUNA Chapter 53
AURORA It had been weeks since everything had happened and I have been looking closely, trying to see if there was something that was going to point me to what Sera had told me. I had tried to get Anton’s trust so he would let me handle the injections and so far, he had not allowed me. He said I needed to learn about it more. So I forgot about him allowing me to do it and then I decided that I needed to continue to run. I haven’t seen Sera since, thank Goodness so I could jog whenever I wanted without anyone stopping me. Today Damian had told me that he was going to come and I have been excited. When he came, I heard a knock by the door. I happily skipped to go and see him but then I realized that something was off. He was hunched over, blood seeping through his shirt, staining the edges of his jacket.“Damian.” I gasped, rushing forward.“I’m fine,” he grunted, his jaw tightening. He was obviously in pain. Had he gotten hurt trying to come and meet me? I instantly felt guilty.

AURORAAnton had not agreed for me to stay back in the palace. After what had happened, he fussed everyone until they agreed for him to allow me to leave with him. We were going to the coven in the middle of nowhere. He said the coven is covered with glamour that they had made when they were preparing for the war. Now that it was there, Ethan could not trace us.The ride with Anton was quiet, the kind of silence that pressed down on me heavily. The trees outside were blurry as I stared out the window, trying to focus on anything other than the nausea swirling in my stomach. My arms ached from the injections Anton had been giving me, and my head felt foggy more often than not these days.He said it was because he needed me to be stronger from the lack of blood. But instead it was making me feel even worse. “Are you okay?” Anton asked, breaking the silence. “I’m fine,” I replied curtly, not bothering to look at him.“You’ve seemed distant,” he continued. “The serums are working, aren’

AURORA I sat at the long dining table, poking at the soup in my bowl with a spoon. My appetite had all but disappeared since… well, everything. My body was weak, thinner than I’d ever seen it, and my hands trembled no matter how much rest I tried to get. I wasn’t sure if it was the torture or my emotions that have been all over the place.It was torture trying to make everyone think that I am okay when I am not. But I did not even think they were going to believe me because they could see the way that I was trembling, like I was about to faint. Across the table, Anton sat down with his face as stern as ever. Evelyn, seated next to him, looked tense too. Damian was at the far end of the table. He was silent as his sharp green eyes scanning the room. It felt awkward. Seeing us seated like this when only a few months ago, Damian and Evelyn were together. It was almost humorous. “So,” Damian started, breaking the heavy silence. “This is cozy.”Anton snorted. “Cozy isn’t the word I’d us

ETHANThe chains burned into my wrists, the silver laced with vervain burning my skin with every movement. I gritted my teeth, refusing to give my captors the satisfaction of hearing me cry out. The werewolves stood guard outside the cell, their faces smug as they muttered amongst themselves.They thought they’d won.Idiots.I leaned my head back against the cold stone wall, my mind racing. They’d underestimated me, as everyone always did. Damian and his pack believed chaining me up and throwing me in this hole would break me. But they didn’t know what I was capable of.The hybrid in me, the part that everyone feared but no one truly understood, was a weapon I hadn’t fully unleashed yet. This was all new to them and I was planning on taking it to my advantage. They did not know what I could do and what I was capable of. It was the only thing I could use right now that would help.Even I did not understand my capabilities, and I had not even tried to. But tonight, I would.The guards l

DAMIANI went to check Aurora after I was done with Ethan. Her car had just arrived because there had been some delay when they were going to get her. I felt so bad as I watched them get her in. I should have done more to make sure that she was alright. Aurora was limp in their arms. Her face was pale, her body weak, and blood stained her clothes.“Careful,” I ordered as two warriors gently laid her on the medical cot we’d prepared near the pack house.Cole stood beside me, his brow furrowed in concern. “She’s barely breathing, Damian. What did he do to her?”I clenched my fists, swallowing the lump in my throat. “Whatever it was, he’ll pay for it.”Evelyn stepped forward, her silver hair glinting as she put it in a bun. “She needs immediate care. If her wounds fester, she won’t make it.”I nodded, motioning for the medics to move quickly. “Get her inside. Do everything you can to stabilize her.”As they carried her away, Evelyn placed a hand on my arm. “She’ll recover. But you need
THE LYCAN ALPHA’S CONTRACT LUNA Chapter 48
DAMIAN We had to come up with an easy plan to make sure that Aurora was not getting hurt. I could not stomach what they were doing to her. My spies told me that she was suffering, and I could even feel it through our mate bond. I needed to go and save her. So we came up with a plan that we were not sure was foolproof, but I did not even care. The plan had been simple. We wanted to use stealth, precision, and no unnecessary bloodshed. But as we arrived, we knew that it was inevitable. Ethan had caught on to our movements, and all hell had broken loose. The werewolves had come out, ferocious as ever. They moved in a way that seemed weird to me, and I had every reason to believe that they were not even human. I slashed my sword through another one of his soldiers, the blade meeting flesh with a sickening sound. My muscles burned, and the scent of blood filled my nostrils. Around me, my men were fighting, but Ethan’s forces were stronger than I anticipated. I knew it was a big pack and

AURORAThe darkness of the dungeon was terrifying. The air was damp, thick with the stench of blood and decay. My body felt like it was on fire, every nerve screaming in agony.I hung from the chains that bound my wrists to the stone wall, my head moving forward as I struggled to breathe. My throat was raw, parched from days without water, and the faint flicker of torches on the walls provided no comfort.The three vampires who had been assigned to “handle” me were relentless. They had taken turns feeding, sinking their sharp fangs into my neck, wrists, even the soft skin of my thighs. I didn’t have the strength to fight back anymore.“You’re lucky he doesn’t want you dead,” one of them sneered, his blood-red eyes glowing in the dim light.I didn’t respond. I couldn’t.“Why don’t you just tell him what he wants to know?” another one said, licking the blood from his lips. “Spare yourself the pain.”I glared at him through the haze of my pain. “Go to hell,” I croaked, my voice barely ab

ETHANI headed to the play room when I heard the sound of laughter coming from there. For a moment, the stress of the past weeks melted away. I paused at the door, leaning against the frame as I watched Mia and Abel, the two children I’d adopted just days ago. I have not had time to adopt them as I was dealing with some things, but then I knew that I needed to do it amidst the stress or I was going to procrastinate doing it forever. Mia was sitting cross-legged on the floor, her curly hair bouncing as she giggled at her brother. Abel was carefully stacking blocks, his tongue poking out in concentration. They looked adorable. I had felt bad when I went to adopt them because of the amount of children that had hopes of being adopted, but I knew I could only get two. Anymore else and I wouldn’t be able to take care of them the way I wanted to take of them.“Mia, stop it.” Abel shouted as his sister knocked over his tower again.“It’s just a game.” Mia teased, sticking her tongue out at h

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
