The Miracle Luna CHAPTER 10
PRISCILLAThe stench hit me before my eyes fully opened—a suffocating, putrid scent that made my stomach churn. My lashes fluttered against my cheeks as I blinked awake, my senses sluggish yet screaming all at once.And then I saw it.A guttural, shuddering scream ripped from my throat before I could stop it. Looming above me was… something not human, not animal, but some twisted, monstrous in-between. Its skin looked like it was decaying and alive all at once, black veins snaking over it in chaotic patterns, pulsing like they had a heartbeat of their own.Its eyes… glowing, hollow pits of malice, were fixed on me.I scrambled back, pressing myself hard against the wall as if I could disappear into it. My breath hitched, every inhale catching in my throat as I stared, wide-eyed, at the creature before me. Its growl resonated through the air, low and menacing, vibrating deep into my bones.This couldn’t be real.The creature’s head tilted slightly, almost curiously, as if it were study

PRISCILLA The air burned in my lungs as I pressed myself against the wall, my pulse pounding in my ears. My hands trembled, and I gripped the cold, uneven surface behind me to steady myself. My escape wasn’t working. Every hallway looked the same, every door leading to another dead end.I ran a hand through my tangled hair, letting out a shaky breath. No one was chasing me. No heavy footsteps, no snarls, no angry voices calling out to stop me. Yet the silence wasn’t comforting—it was suffocating.“How many damn rooms do I have to run through to find the exit?” I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper, though it echoed eerily in the stillness.I froze mid-step as the deep, gravelly voice I dreaded—and knew all too well—pierced the quiet like a blade.“You’re running in the wrong direction,” he said, the sound rolling through the empty hall like thunder. My heart dropped into my stomach, and I spun around, pressing my back harder against the wall.He stepped out from the shadows, hi

GABRIEL This human is an absolute headache.I muttered, my gaze glued to the live feed on my phone where she clung to the iron gate like a stubborn squirrel determined to escape, muttering curses as she tried to climb over it.I couldn’t help but chuckle, low and amused. “What the hell does she think she’s doing?” The question wasn’t really aimed at anyone but myself. Her audacity was something else entirely.With a swipe of my thumb, I flipped to the control panel and opened the gate. I watched as it slowly slid open, and, as expected, she lost her footing and fell. “Figures,” I murmured, shaking my head. I expected her to stay down, but she was back on her feet almost instantly.The next part was what caught me off guard. She glanced at the camera—right at me—and flipped me off, her expression defiant and unapologetic. Then she marched off down the road, her back rigid and her steps purposeful.I laughed, a deep rumble that filled the room. It wasn’t often that someone caught me of

GABRIEL The room was unnervingly quiet, save for the faint rustle of fabric as I pulled back the torn remnants of her shirt again, desperate to make sense of what I wasn’t seeing. Her skin was pristine, smooth as untouched marble. My brows furrowed in disbelief. “How is this possible?” I muttered under my breath, my voice barely audible over the weight of my thoughts. The bite should have been there—deep, unmistakable. The men I sent were precise, and obedient to the letter. There was no way they could have failed. I straightened, dragging a hand through my hair as I stepped back from the bed. My wolf stirred uneasily in the back of my mind, his presence pressing against the edges of my thoughts. “Gabriel, something’s off.”“No kidding,” I muttered aloud. I turned to leave, trying to distance myself from the inexplicable sight before me, but something tugged at me, an invisible thread pulling me back. I stopped mid-step, my jaw tightening. The logical part of me wanted to

PRISCILLA I had accepted my fate of being bossed around by him, but exposing my body in front of his people? That was too much. Without thinking, I yanked myself free, rose onto my toes, and slapped him—hard. The sharp crack of my palm against his cheek echoed through the room, louder than I expected. Silence fell. Everyone stared. And for a moment, even I was stunned by what I’d done.He didn’t flinch. He just stood there, staring at me with those cold, unblinking eyes, like he was daring me to do it again. My heart was racing, and my palms were sweating, but I refused to look away.“You shouldn’t have done that,” he said, his voice dangerously calm. “Don’t test me.”I wanted to say something, to throw his words back in his face, but the look in his eyes made my throat tighten. Finally, I found my voice, though it came out shaky. “Y-you can do anything else to me,” I stammered, my tone trembling as I tried to sound firm, “but don’t you ever humiliate me like that again. Don’t you e

PRISCILLA I gripped the steering wheel, my fingers tightening around the worn leather as I exhaled slowly. The rental car smelled like cheap air freshener and plastic, but I didn’t care. It was mine—at least for now—and that meant freedom.The wolf guy had refused to let me take anything except my identity card. No phone. Not even my camera. Just me, my ID, and the clothes on my back. But none of that mattered. I could always buy a new phone. A new camera. As long as I was heading back to New York, I was free.A small, victorious smile tugged at my lips as I stared at the open road ahead. Soon, I’d be away from him. Away from his suffocating presence, his piercing gaze. I would disappear into the crowds of the city, vanish in the sea of yellow taxis and bright billboards, and he would never find me again.The drive to Portland Airport felt longer than it should have, each mile stretching painfully with the weight of silence. He sat beside me, completely at ease, his long fingers drum

PRISCILLA I gasped, my fingers digging into his arms as he held me firmly against the wall. My legs dangled slightly off the floor, my body trapped between him and the unforgiving surface behind me. My pulse pounded in my ears, my breath coming in short, sharp bursts."Let. Me. Go." My voice was sharp, laced with anger, but I hated that a small part of me was also breathless for an entirely different reason.He smirked, his eyes gleaming with something unreadable. "Not until you understand something. You cannot run away from me? I glared at him, shoving at his chest. "Oh really? And what happens when I call the cops? Because news flash, Mr. Alpha, we're not in your little Oregon territory anymore. This is my city. My home. And here, you don’t make the rules."His smirk didn’t waver. If anything, it deepened. "Call them," he challenged, pressing closer. "But let me warn you—by the time they get here, you’ll be begging me to stay."A shiver ran down my spine, but I masked it with a sc

PRISCILLA The moment Davina's scream echoed through the apartment, everything seemed to stop. My breath hitched, my pulse hammering like a war drum in my chest. The wolfman didn’t flinch. He just stood there, his massive frame blocking the only exit, his piercing eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that made my stomach churn.Davina gripped my arm so tight it hurt, her nails digging into my skin. "Priscilla," she whispered harshly, "he—he’s looking at us like we’re his next meal."I swallowed hard, forcing myself to breathe. "Davina shut up," I muttered through clenched teeth, trying not to provoke him. But I couldn’t look away from him. There was something different about him now—an unreadable expression, something dangerous lingering beneath the surface.He took a slow step forward.Davina yanked me back instinctively. "Oh, hell no! If you take another step, I will throw Priscilla at you and run for my life!" she blurted out.I snapped my head toward her. "What?!”His deep, ser

The Miracle Luna CHAPTER 25
PRISCILLA A sudden laugh burst out of Davina, catching me off guard.I blinked and sat upright, narrowing my eyes at her. "What the hell is so funny?"Davina wiped at her eyes, grinning. "It’s ridiculous, Pris... I might never see my family again... or my boyfriend, shit..." She shook her head, letting out another small laugh. "But I just can’t stop thinking about your asshole boss. I mean — Joel, crying like a baby with a broken arm... that image is stuck in my head, and it’s weirdly satisfying."She turned to me fully, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "You must’ve felt good... watching that happen, huh?"That pulled a laugh from me too — a real one — loud and unfiltered. I leaned back on my hands, shaking my head. "God... it was," I admitted, grinning. "It was satisfying as hell, but... I couldn’t even enjoy it, Davina. Right there in that moment... I was too shocked. Scared, honestly."Davina snorted. "When are you ever scared of anything, Priscilla?"I smiled, letting out a shaky
The Miracle Luna CHAPTER 24
PRISCILLA My heart pounded like a war drum in my chest, each step I took making it worse. I could still taste him. Still feel him. What the hell was I thinking? I growled low under my breath, the sound nearly shocking me. I kissed him. I actually kissed him.“Stupid… so stupid,” I muttered, curling my fists at my sides as I tried to shake the memory away. But no matter how many turns we took, it stayed. Etched in my skin. Burned in my mind. That smirk... that scent... I nearly groaned again.How could I let my guard down like that? Especially with him. Another turn, then another. My mind spiralled so deep I didn’t even realize Evelyn had stopped until I nearly crashed right into her. "Shit!" I gasped, stumbling back as Evelyn turned with an arched brow. "Careful," she muttered. "You keep walking like that, you’ll break your neck before you even meet your friend." I forced a shaky breath, managing the barest smile. "Sorry... just... lost in my head." "Yeah, I can tell." Evel
The Miracle Luna CHAPTER 23
GABRIEL The air felt heavy as the rogues pushed against the gates. Their howls grew louder, echoing through the night, and sending a chill down my spine. The pack was fighting hard to keep them out, but it was clear the gates wouldn’t hold much longer. I could feel the power of the rogues pressing against the wood, their numbers overwhelming.Then, with a loud crash, the gates gave way, splintering apart as the rogues poured in. I didn’t hesitate. I barked the order to my pack. “Charge.” My pack responded instantly and the battle had begun.I mind-linked the rest of my warriors. Guard every entrance. Do not let a single rogue inside.Without a word, they spread out, fighting to hold their ground. I shifted into my wolf form, claws and teeth ready. I tore into the first rogue that came too close, ripping through it with a growl. The battle around me was chaotic—my pack members fighting fiercely, but the rogues kept coming. There were so many of them.The smell of rotting flesh made i
The Miracle Luna CHAPTER 22
GABRIEL The tension in the room didn’t dissipate even after the Wolf Committee filed out of the packhouse. The moment the heavy doors shut behind them, a low murmur rippled through the gathered pack members. Eyes darted toward me, filled with curiosity, concern, and—among some—doubt.I ignored them. I had bigger things to deal with.Priscilla was still stiff beside me, her hands curled into fists at her sides. I could feel the anger radiating off her, her chest rising and falling with barely contained frustration. She was holding back, biting her tongue, but I knew it wouldn’t last.“Alpha,” Evelyn said in a low voice, stepping closer. “We need to talk.”I exhaled through my nose and turned to her. “Later.”She hesitated, glancing between Priscilla and me before nodding and retreating a few steps. I knew what she wanted to say. The same thing that was already circling in my mind—Priscilla was a problem. A complication. And if I didn’t figure out how to handle this, the Committee woul
The Miracle Luna CHAPTER 21
GABRIEL A Luna wasn’t just a title—it was a role that carried with it a thousand expectations. She would be my equal, the heart of the pack, someone I was supposed to trust with everything. Her fate would be tied to mine in ways I couldn’t even fathom, and every alpha knew that was a heavy, almost suffocating burden. It wasn’t just about loyalty or power. It was about sacrifice. For me, for the pack, for her. And if she wasn’t a wolf? That made it even harder. A non-wolf mate, my wolf rumbled, would never truly understand the weight of our world. The politics. The dangers.Priscilla was no ordinary woman. I could feel it, even when she didn’t speak. She was strong, fierce, and stubborn—everything that an alpha would need in a mate. But there was something else in her, something that kept me from reaching out, from claiming her the way I should. Something I wasn’t ready to face.She wasn’t just some human to be moulded into this life. No. She was too… too much. Too wild, too unpred
The Miracle Luna CHAPTER 20
GABRIEL The moment we boarded the private jet back to Oregon, I took the farthest seat, away from everyone. I needed space. Peace. A moment where I wasn’t being questioned or irritated by a certain woman who never seemed to know when to keep her mouth shut.Priscilla was seated with Evelyn, our pack lawyer, and for once, she was someone else’s problem. I exhaled, leaning back against the leather seat, stretching my legs out as I tried to ease the tension thrumming through my body.But the burning sensation on my wrists wouldn’t let me forget.My eyes dropped to them. The silver cuffs may have been removed, but the damage was done. The raw, reddened skin felt like it was still smouldering, the pain a deep, relentless throb. It pissed me off more than it should have. Damn, humans and their silver restraints. They were supposed to be immune to me, yet here I was, feeling every damn sting.I closed my eyes, willing the ache away. Instead, my mind drifted back to that pathetic excuse of
The Miracle Luna CHAPTER 19
PRISCILLA "Hands up! Nobody moves!"The wolfman stiffened, his body tense, but his expression remained unreadable. His glowing eyes flicked toward me, then to the officers, assessing the situation in seconds."Step away from him!" an officer shouted, his gun aimed directly at the wolfman.Joel was still on the floor, groaning in pain, his broken arm twisted. The guards he had thrown aside were just starting to sit up, wincing. Outside the office, employees peeked around the corner, whispering and recording on their phones.My heart pounded. I kept my hands on the wolfman’s chest, silently pleading for him not to do anything reckless. His muscles were tight beneath my touch, vibrating with barely restrained anger.“I said, put your hands where we can see them!” The lead officer, a broad-shouldered man with a stern face, took a step forward. His finger hovered over the trigger.The wolfman exhaled slowly. Then, in one smooth motion, he raised his hands.Silence filled the room.“Get on
The Miracle Luna CHAPTER 18
PRISCILLA A man I didn’t recognize sat at my desk, his back to me, casually flipping through some of my files. My pulse spiked. My fingers twitched at my sides, but I forced myself to remain calm.The wolfman stepped up behind me, his presence an anchor that only made my stomach tighten further. I could feel his gaze burning into the side of my face, waiting to see how I would react.Taking a deep breath, I stepped forward. “Excuse me,” I said, my voice steady but firm. “You’re in my seat.”The man slowly turned around, and the moment our eyes met, my stomach dropped. He wasn’t just some random person. I recognized him. Samuel. The investigative journalist known for digging into the darkest secrets and exposing them for the world to see. I had admired his work from afar, but never in a million years did I expect him to be sitting at my desk.His sharp gaze swept over me before flicking to the wolfman standing beside me. A slow, knowing smirk curled at the corner of his lips. “Priscil
