The Luna's Ultimate Goal

Joana's POVCold, that would be the word used to describe how I felt. I slowed down my breathing to control my anxiety as I clenched on to the documents in my hand. I could hear them murmuring, whispering and laughing maniacally. They were all in the room, the whole family. “Good evening,” I muttered with a smile as I walked into the room. Suddenly the chattering stopped and they all turned to me with a sinister stare. They didn't even try to hide the hate and anger in their gaze. “What is it?” My husband, Alpha Finn asked. “It better be good. As you can see, I am having a fun time,” He added as he slowly wrapped his hand around a strange lady's waist. I recognized her scent, her fragrance rather. It had been coming off Finn anytime he claimed he went for a business trip. “How do you stand this wrench, brother?” My brother in-law Josiah asked with a sneer. “I have told him countless times. This lady can't be an Alpha’s wife but he wouldn't listen,” His wrinkled mother said with

Joana's POV “You knew. From when I walked in,you knew my father had planned all this out,” I broke the awkward silence between Lucien and I. He came to pick me up and was taking me to the Armstrong's company. “It wasn't my place to tell you and besides I didn't want to ruin the surprise,” He replied. “It was more of a shock than a surprise. I am to marry a man I know nothing of,” “Wasn't that what you did when you got married to a scum? Joana, stop making it seem like it's a bad thing,” Lucien said as he pulled over in front of the Alpha’s company. “Not a bad thing? I came here to take over what's mine, not to be handed to be someone else's,” I grunted as I stepped out of the car with a fierce look on my face. “You will correct that annoying grin on your face and make yourself look presentable,” “I won't be forced into doing something for a man. I can't be controlled and I won't be,” I responded angrily and proceeded into the company. The Zion Gold company had belonge

Joana's POV “Ma'am, Ma'am,” The lawyer tapped me, pulling me out of my endless thoughts. “Yes, did you say something?” I asked with my tear-filled eyes. “We wanted to know if you would like to sign first or we should proceed to the Alpha to receive his signature,” He answered.Realization hit me that I was still at my father's funeral. We had just finished burying him, and I was sitting by the staircase after they finished reading his will. “Does it matter? Give him to sign,” “But ma'am, we can't find him,” The lawyers said with a confused expression. The truth was that I was too tired to think about anything else. I knew my father's death wasn't an accident, and I intended to prove it. I wanted Dire to pay. “Send it to his beta, he will do the proper procedure,” I muttered as I stood from my seat and walked to Sasha who was sobbing terribly by the sofa. “Are you okay?” I asked softly, barely whispering. I couldn't find my voice, I seemed to have lost all my strength. “Yes

Joana's POVI stood in front of Dire, my heart racing. This wasn’t just strange, it was straight-up abduction. But the way he acted, the smile he gave, and the casual gestures, it was as if he didn’t think anything was wrong. Or worse, he knew something I didn’t. His authority was unquestionable, yet he masked it under a layer of disturbing niceness. It was unsettling. I had to get out. “I want to leave.” I said, forcing a smile. I tried to keep my voice steady, trying not to let him see how terrified I really was. Dire raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a smile as if I had just made an amusing request. “Of course, wife. You may leave whenever you want.” He said smoothly. “But do make sure you’re back by nine. You wouldn’t want to miss our evening together, now, would you?” The way he said "wife" sent a shiver down my spine. His tone was too casual, too calm, and it only made the fear inside me grow. I wanted to snap at him, to lash out, but I couldn’t. Not yet. The fea
