The Luna's Second Chance 80. Flames of the Present
Aurora’s Pov Rachel leaned back, her arms folded across her chest. “Speaking of dinner with Alpha Darius,” her face hardened. “Does Kieran know about the painting already?”I gave a small, humorless laugh. “He hasn’t said anything about it yet and I'm sure he knows about it already.”“He’s probably still investigating who sent it before he makes a move.” I added.I'd informed Rachel about the artwork Alpha Darius had sent to me, the unexpected visit which led to the dinner date proposal. She wasn't a bit shock and all muttered, ‘that arrogant lycan’. I'd also told Rachel I was digging up dirts about Lily some days back. She was shocked and asked why I would do such a thing. I couldn't tell her everything but told her I will tell her why one day but I told her to see it as doing the right thing. “And if he finds out it was Darius?” Rachel asked, pulling me out of my thought.I met Rachel’s gaze. “Then he’ll be very furious.” I smirked as I relished the look of Kieran's face.We sat

Aurora’s Pov The cool evening breeze brushed across my skin the moment I stepped out of the hospital. The car park was quiet as I strolled, in search of Darius. He'd sent me a text some moments back that he was here already. I couldn't get out immediately, I was nervous to see him and also eager. I stopped in my tracks, took a deep breath, and exhaled to calm my nerves when I saw him.He stood casually, leaning against the side of a sleek grey car, hands in his pockets, his head tilted slightly like he’d been watching me from there for some minutes. His dark shirt clung to his body like it was made for him, sleeves rolled up to reveal strong forearms, and his hair looked perfectly tousled, like the breeze itself knew better than to mess him up too much. I began to walk towards him thanking moon goddess Aria had picked something casual for me as well. I wouldn't have been comfortable to see him look so formal while I looked like a secretary in her late thirties. My feet seemed to s

Aurora’s POVSeven years of marriage and seven years of torture.“Sign the papers,” his voice was cold as he threw the document and pen at me, watching me with nothing but hatred and disgust, a familiar emotion I knew too well. I stared into the distance with a blank expression. I felt nothing.“Oh my Goddess, what did I tell you? She’s crazy,” I heard the voice of my sister-in-law whisper behind me and the angry curses of the Luna seemed to fade into the background.“Look at her, after killing her son, she dares act pitiful.”Why me?“I told you she is a heartless witch. Poor Caleb. He died because he couldn’t stand her being his mother, after all.”Why me? What did I do to deserve this?I closed my eyes, and a single tear fell. Regret and self-blame washed over me. The voices in my head seemed to want to tear me apart.“Yes, you deserved this. He died because of you, you!”“I, Kieran, the next in line Alpha to the Emberfang Nation, reject Aurora as my mate.”“Ahh,” I clutched my ch

Aurora’s POVI stared into the far distance in confusion. There was a lake in front of me. I could hear the sounds of crickets. The night was cold, and I seemed to be drenched and I was… I was breathing.Wait a second, let me rephrase that again, BREATHING?But that was impossible. I died. The sound of desperate coughing brought my attention back to the present, and I looked down to see a young girl around six to eight years expelling water from her mouth and gasping for air.My hands were on her chest and I titled my head in confusion as I tried to register what was happening. This… this felt oddly familiar.The girl opened her eyes slowly and was now watching me, but I stared back like an idiot, not knowing what to say or do.What was happening?“Miss Ivy!” A scream jolted me awake, and I tore my eyes from the girl to see people rushing towards us.Ivy? Where have I heard that name before?“Oh my Goddess, Miss Ivy, are you okay? Alpha Darius was so worried!” A middle-aged woman sc

Aurora’s POVThe name Aurora was all I knew about my identity. I had always been an outsider, one that wasn’t from the pack, and people did not easily accept my kind. And I guess being wolf-less did not make it better, so the hate began when I was just four, brought to the Emberfang Nation by Alpha Alaric.Alpha Alaric was the only person who treated me better than everyone, so when I found out I was his son Kieran’s mate, I was beyond happy to be part of his family.Just to be the perfect Luna in training, I stopped the only thing that I knew and was good at, medicine.The only time I was allowed to operate was on behalf of Aria, she took credit for what I did and became the best doctor in the country and I, well I hid from the limelight to serve my mate, to be the perfect future Luna everyone would love and perhaps, perhaps one day they would look past my flaws and accept me.How ironic.I did all that, not knowing that was the beginning of my downfall, the day I had decided to mate

Darius’s POVShe was the star of the party.When she walked down the staircase with her head held up high and her smile, that smile seemed to have done something to me.“Mine,” Magnus, my wolf, growled in my head, and my eyes narrowed at her as my frown deepened.“What do you mean by mine?” I asked back, head tilting slightly to the side as I watched her hug Ivy.“She is ours, Darius,” Magnus replied.I clenched my hand, not understanding what my wolf was implying, but hell, that scent of hers had been driving me crazy since last night.“That is impossible. She already has a mate.” I sneered.My eyes darkened as the supposed mate walked up to her and held her hand, but Ivy refused to let her go.Good girl, Ivy, keep her right there.“I don’t know what is happening, but I’m not mistaken. She belongs to us” I could feel Magnus slowly break out of my restraint, wanting to rush out and claim her right there.I stroked my chin, managing to keep him in check. What exactly was this girl?“Al

Aurora’s PovI stood frozen, my eyes locked on Darius's mischievous smile. What was he doing here? And why was he being so... flirty towards me? I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as he leaned in closer, his warm breath on my skin. I couldn't fathom why my heart was racing and suddenly I felt the need to touch him. He is the man I needed to avoid to prevent the whole rumor in my past life but why was he here in the bathroom with me, looking so mischievous and why do I feel this way? In my past life I didn't feel different about him. He was an Alpha I respected and feared but found favour in his sight because I saved his sister from drowning. In the past, he didn't follow me to the bathroom nor was he mischievous. The surprising thing is I can't explain why I felt this way about him as well. “What are you doing here?” I asked with curiosity in my voice. He moved closer, his nose brushing my neck, before I could ask him any more questions or process what was happening, the sound of f

Lycan Darius's POV I wasn’t expecting this.The moment Aurora yanked me into the cramped stall, my instincts screamed at me to resist. I was not accustomed to being manhandled, least of all by a woman as small as her. And yet, I let her. Something about the way she panicked when she heard footsteps out the bathroom made me curious.While we were in the stall, she held her breath when all I could do was inhale her intoxicating smell. The stall was tiny but perfect for the two of us there. I leaned in on her and reached to touch her. Her dress hugged her body, revealing her cleavage, which instantly gave me a boner. Why was she having so much effect on me?“Fuck! We've waited for too long for our mate and now she is also mated to someone else,” Magnus rumbled.I knew she felt the bulging when she suddenly looked down and her cheeks turned red. She reminds me of Muffins, sweet, lovely and fresh. I made a comment and called her muffins, then I saw how embarrassed then she asked me wha

The Luna's Second Chance 79. Shadows of the Past
Aurora’s Pov In my past life I knew Lily had secret affairs but I couldn't find out who she was having them with exactly. Even after she found her mate, she didn't stop her infidelity, not even after her mate kept complaining but she always found a way around to blame him because she had built a perfect image. George nodded grimly. “She’s been having an affair with him. He funds her lifestyle. You know how your pack funds have been tight lately.”I nodded slowly.“She needs Alpha Marcellus funds,” he said with a furrowed brow.“The document with you shows a record of her expenses,” he looked up from beneath craggy brows and gesture at the paper beneath the pictures. “She’s been covering her name and using an omega's name.”“What!” the shock of discovery hit me with full force.“I traced the payments. And this Alpha…” he pointed to the man in the photographer, “He’s been sending her gifts. Designer clothes, money, jewelry. Even a private apartment on the west side,” he said in a hars
The Luna's Second Chance 78. Beneath the Surface
Aurora's POV It had been weeks since I started my residency, and to be honest, it wasn’t going the exact way I had thought it would go.I had thought I’d be able to juggle everything one way or the other. Stuffs like the pack responsibilities with the Luna's training, my personal revenge, and the intense demands of being a trauma surgery resident. But reality had a funny way of reminding me I wasn’t superhuman. The hours were long, the work was emotionally and physically draining, and the pressure were also suffocating.I had been staying more at the hospital lately, and rarely going to the pack. Most nights I crashed in the call room or caught a few hours of sleep slumped over a chart. My phone barely had any life in it, not that I wanted to answer it anyway. The screen lit up constantly with missed calls from Kieran and Avery. I’d stopped counting after the first ten.When I needed anything, I sent Aria. She was the only one I could send to pick up stuffs for me without being troub
The Luna's Second Chance 77. The Pressure Within
Aurora’s Pov The knock on my door came just as I was trying to get some actual peace. I had barely slept after yesterday’s encounter with Alpha Darius, and all I wanted was a few uninterrupted hours to gather my thoughts. However, this house didn’t believe in peace for me.“Luna Avery and Alpha Alaric are asking of you,” the young omega at the door said quietly.Of course they are. I was sure they've heard about Darius's visit to the pack.“Thank you. I’ll be right there.” I said, my lips pulled into a tight smile.As I followed the omega through the packhouse corridors, my mind raced with all possible scenarios of how this meeting with them turn out. It wasn't my fault Alpha Darius came uninvited to the pack. If I had the chance to stop him from coming, I would have taken it.When I entered the private quarters, Alpha Alaric was standing by the tall window, back straight, hands clasped behind him. Avery was seated on one of the velvet chairs, her posture as rigid as a pole. She look
The Luna's Second Chance 76. Temptations
Aurora's POV I kept staring at the message reflecting on my phone screen like it held the power to throw my whole world off balance.“I’m in your pack to see you. Meet me at the Moe's Diner.”My heart dropped and leapt at the same time as the message echoed in my head over and over again.Why was Alpha Darius here? My fingers hovered over the screen for a few minutes before I locked the phone and tossed it to the bed.“No. I’m not doing this,” I muttered to myself. “Not today.”I was still trying to shake off the irritating feeling Kieran had left behind in my room like ten minutes ago. His touch and his arrogance makes my stomach twisted in disgust. The entitlement dripping from every word he’d said, like my future, my body, my time were only his to control. I was stupid to even think twice about loving him even with all the red flags that were so obvious. Now Darius was here, the man I should be avoiding. The man who gives me all sort of feelings. I feel so drawn to him and some
The Luna's Second Chance 75. Unwelcome Guests
Aurora’s Pov By the time we reached the pack, the sun was beginning to dip behind the treetops. I stepped out of the passenger seat of Sandra’s car, the weight of my earlier conversation with George still fresh in my mind.Sandra, a soft-spoken pack member in her early sixties who ran a small handcrafted jewelry shop in Northshore for fun of leaving the pack once a while, offered me a small smile as she adjusted the bangles on her wrist. “Thanks for the doughnut today, Aurora. It was lovely having a ride partner once again,” she said kindly.“Thank you for the ride and I’ll definitely be doing more of riding with you now,” I replied with a warm smile, genuinely grateful for the opportunity to have someone who could always drop me off at Northshore.In the past Aria had always drove me to Northshore since we were bestfriend, sometimes Kieran as well whenever he was going to work but since I found Sandra store I started following her instead. She gave me a wave and drove off, her tir
The Luna's Second Chance 74. Digging Graves
Aurora’s Pov I replied to Rachel's text immediately. I told her I was free after my interview. I had no plans except to volunteer and probably bury my head in loads of work. Rachel text popped again on my phone screen.“Great! Let’s meet at the café near Northshore University Hospital afterwards.”Instead of going back to the study room, I settled into the chair in the corner of my room. I opened the journal app on my phone and began to put down events of my past life that were significant. The memories came flooding back, and I realized that this present life had taken a different path because of the choices I'd made. I needed to capture these moments, no matter how painful, to ensure I didn't lose sight of the details.As I reflected on the events, tears welled up in my eyes. I longed to let go but the weight of what happened to Caleb has cut deep into my heart. I would never forgive myself for what happened to him. Caleb is the reason why I can't back down.How I wished I could
The Luna's Second Chance 73. An Unexpected Gift
Aurora’s POVThe general study room in the packhouse was one of the few places where I found peace. It was quiet, filled with the scent of both new and old books. I had been spending most of my time here, drowning in medical texts, pushing myself to focus. Rachel had helped with my residency registration and all I had to do now was to appear in person and take an interview. It wasn't really necessary since I was one of the outstanding interns there but they just wanted to follow protocols and not give off the favoritism vibe to the others. My peace didn't last long when I heard the familiar voice.“Aurora,” Aria’s overly cheerful voice broke through my concentration. I didn’t even look up. I already knew the grin she wore before I saw it.“I expect to find you here,” she continued, stepping closer.“How unfortunate for you,” I said dryly, flipping a page in my book.Looking up, I saw Aria roll her eyes as she scoffed, unfazed by my sarcasm. “There’s a package for you outside.”“A pac
