The Vengeful Luna Strikes Back Chapter 45
By morning, my body ached in places I didn’t know could ache.Damn that wild animal. Aster had ravaged me in the most wicked way—and I had loved every second of it.The room was quiet when I woke, but he was gone. I forced myself out of bed and dragged my sore body into the bathroom. After a long shower, I returned to find breakfast waiting, delivered by the new chef, Enzo. I didn’t have the energy to face the Shadow Moons today.When Enzo returned to collect the tray, he handed me a folded note.It was from Thalia.“Meet me in my room in ten minutes.”I smirked. Little bitch, I thought, crumpling the paper and tossing it in the trash.Still, I decided to visit her before heading out to the pack house.Thalia was lounging on the couch sipping some nourishing herbal tea. Like ours, their suite had a separate sitting room, bedroom, private bathrooms, and even a mini kitchen.She looked up and smiled—calculated and fake.“Sit, Valeria,” she said sweetly. I obeyed, watching her carefully.

VALERIAMy words must have caught Aster off guard. He stared at me for a beat, then a slow, dark smile crept onto his lips. His fingers grazed my cheek.“Alright then,” he murmured. “Let’s finish this.”He halted in front of a heavy steel door, punched in a string of numbers, and with a metallic click, the lock disengaged. The door swung open to reveal a private armory—walls lined with weapons, each one deadlier than the last. The room smelled of oil and blood, as if it had witnessed violence too often.Aster strode forward, selecting his gear with chilling efficiency. Guns, blades, explosives. War lived in his bones.“Take what you need,” he said, his voice low, urgent.I didn’t need to be told twice. I reached for the knives—long, silver, and razor-sharp. I’ve always preferred steel tha

ASTERI looked at Valeria’s face as it battered in blood; her once smooth and flawless face turned brutal and masked with the blood of the rouge's, which made it look even more alluring. I wanted to touch her, to have her there and now, but she refused saying she was filthy. Did she know how intoxicating that word is? Yeah, I love my women filthy in every bedroom sense.Thinking of these, my heart clenched as I recall last night when she sat so close to my brother Darren. I can't stop feeling that she is drawn to Darren, or rather, Darren was drawn to her. Such thinking makes my heart clenched. When I came back home from the office last night and couldn't find her, I had to call her line more than twenty times. She left us at the hospital and rushed off, and I thought she was devastated because of Linnet's health condition and needed some time alone to process it, so I let her be, but when it passed midnight, and she wasn't home, I became worried and started calling her line. I

FREYA“ I swear, you’re the luckiest girl in the world?” Claire teased. She was my best friend, and I loved her to the moon. Entwining her arm with mine as we stepped out onto the balcony.“You’re marrying into the wealthiest, most famous, and influential family in all the kingdoms. How does that feel?”“Claire!” I laughed, letting the gentle breeze play with my hair. “I’m not marrying the family; I’m marrying Darren,” I corrected her, a dreamy look spreading across my face as I leaned over the balcony railing.She scoffed, shaking her head. “You’re going to be known as Mrs. Shadow-Moon. That’s more than just Darren. I’m so happy for you. You deserve this happiness…” Her tone softened, and she muttered, " If only your Mom is here to witness this moment." I knew she loved my mother, who passed away two years ago.I sighed and said nothing. The mention of her brought a lump to my throat, and my eyes stung with unshed tears. But I quickly pushed the sadness aside. Tonight wasn’t about

FreyaI hurried out of the house, my heart racing as I desperately searched for Darren. He couldn’t know what his parents were planning—he couldn’t. The conversation I’d overheard still echoed in my head, unbelievable and horrifying. My thoughts were interrupted when I bumped into someone.“Oh, sorry,” I began, but then I saw it was Claire.“Are you okay?” she asked, her brows furrowed in concern. “We still have a few hours until the wedding, so you can redo your makeup if needed.” Her reassurance would have been comforting a few minutes earlier , but now it barely registered.“Have you seen Darren?” My voice trembled with urgency, and Claire’s eyes widened in alarm. She glanced around but shook her head.“I haven’t seen him,” she admitted."What's wrong?""Nothing" I answered and darted off, leaving her behind as I weaved through the guests. It's not time to explain things. Some teased me, making lighthearted comments about how I couldn’t wait to get married when I asked them about

FREYA"Help.""Please help…""Help…us…""Shhh, you’re safe now," came the reply, forcing me awake.I blinked, trying to adjust my eyes to the brightness. I attempted to move, which proved to be a terrible idea as a wave of pain coursed through me. I whimpered, feverish and weak. My entire body hurts, every movement stabbing at me from all angles."Where am I? And who are you?" I asked the stranger approaching me with a bowl of water and a washcloth. My voice was shaky, laced with distrust. "Stay away from me!" I wanted to snarl, but it came out weak and pitiful."Easy there, I’m harmless, I promise," he replied gently. "I was going somewhere when I found you wounded on the road. I brought you to my cabin. You’ve been out for three days."As he sat beside the bed and moved the damp cloth toward my head, I flinched and cried out, my body protesting the sudden movement. "I need to go… I have to go," I pleaded weakly."You’re in no condition to leave," he said firmly. "By the way, I’m As

Fortunately, the cabin wasn’t so far from my pack, it's a few hours drive and I could easily trace my way back with Aster by my side. Perhaps because everything happened at night but in the daytime, things were so much worse than I anticipated. I could smell blood mixed with decaying bodies way before we stepped foot on the property. With my hand covering my mouth, as if to stop myself from screaming in agony, I looked around the place, tears streaming down my face. I fall to the ground, overwhelmed with emotions. “No, no, no…” I cried, sobbing and unable to move. All the buildings have been destroyed, the whole place wrecked to the ground and reduced to nothing, a sign that the Shadow-Moon has completely taken ownership of the property. I didn’t know how long I stood there sobbing until I felt a hand clasped over my shoulder, I twisted around, coming face to face with the stranger that rescued me. He looked past me, then at the lifeless bodies laying all over the place, a horrifi

Two Years LaterFREYAI lifted my head to the mirror. To say I was shocked was an understatement—I couldn't recognize the woman staring back at me.My once long, black hair was now short and blonde. My curvy physique had transformed into a slim, youthful figure, making me look even more beautiful. My once pale skin was now rich, glossy, and well-tanned. There was no way the Shadow-Moons would recognize me, not with the change in my eye color.I used to have brown eyes, but with the help of contacts, they were now ocean blue.My lips curled into a smirk as I admired my perfection. Last year, I began this transformation, and now it is finally complete.I started by going on a strict diet and working out regularly to lose weight. To eliminate any trace of my past identity, I even added a small dark scar near my left ear. It was subtle but added to my new, more confident persona.Just as I finished packing my suitcase and was about to leave, my phone rang. It was Aster Shadow-Moon—the man

Darren recoiled instantly, pushing me gently aside as he rose to his feet. His eyes were wide—shock painted across his face.I didn’t have to turn to know who was behind us.Thalia.I wasn’t sure how long she had been standing there, but judging by the tight line of her lips and the distant flicker in her eyes, she'd heard more than enough. My stomach twisted—but not with guilt. Let her feel what I felt two years ago. The pain of betrayal.“Thalia?” Darren stammered, already moving toward her, his voice heavy with panic. “What are you doing here? Aren’t you asleep?”“I had a bad dream,” she murmured, stepping into his arms like she belonged there. “I woke up and couldn’t find you, so I came looking. I was about to head into the kitchen when I heard your voice… Valeria—is she okay?”Her voice trembled—just slightly. Enough to make her sound fragile, concerned and perfectly innocent.She was good.Too good for her acting.And Darren, ever the fool for her, bought it—like he always did.

"Are you really sending me away tonight? You're such a heartless brother-in-law.""You should have thought of that before trying to seduce me," Eric said coldly, walking into the house without sparing me another glance.I smiled faintly and turned toward my car. It was clear now—someone else was after Linnet. But who?When I arrived at the Shadow Moon mansion, the whole place was cloaked in silence. It looked deserted, the only signs of life being the guards stationed at the entrance. They nodded in greeting, and I returned the gesture before heading inside.Just as I stepped onto the staircase, I spotted Darren in the hallway. He appeared to be returning to his room but stopped when he saw me. He waited at the top of the stairs until I reached him.“Darren,” I called softly.“Valeria? What are you doing awake at this hour? Are you just getting back?”There was no point denying it. I sighed. “Yes. I went to see Eric. I wanted to know why he abandoned Linnet at such a critical time.”A
The Vengeful Luna Strikes Back Chapter 42
Since Linnet was admitted to the hospital, I hadn’t seen Eric. No one had. The Shadow Moon brothers were too busy with the investigation, while Abigail clung desperately to her only daughter. None of them noticed their son-in-law’s absence—except me, of course.By the time I arrived at the Black Wolf Pack, night had already fallen. I killed the engine and stepped out into the cool air, walking purposefully toward the Alpha lounge. A young woman, one of the maids greeted me. After I introduced myself, she informed me that the Alpha was training alone in the backyard and pointed me in the right direction.The moment I stepped onto the training ground, someone grabbed me from behind and slammed me against the wall.Fast. Unexpected.I instantly regretted not bringing a bodyguard, but their presence would’ve drawn attention I couldn’t afford.“What are you doing here?” a low, husky voice growled into my ear.“What exactly do you want from me?” he whispered again, his breath hot against my

"Someone has been feeding her mercury all this time. That’s why she’s hallucinating and constantly in pain.""What?!"No. That couldn’t be. I mumbled under my breath, trying to grasp what I’d just heard. Who dared to intercept my plans? I couldn’t believe it—until I saw her.Linnet stood there, dressed in a hospital gown, looking distant yet eerily calm. Her eyes were glassy, unfocused. She didn’t recognize us—didn’t even notice we were there. It was like she was lost in a world far beyond our reach.I curled up in Aster’s arms, burying my face against his chest. He gently stroked my hair, his hand patting my back in silent consolation."Who did this to her?" I whispered."We don’t know yet," Darren replied. "But all the maids have been arrested. They’re in police custody now. I’m sure we’ll find something soon.""Don’t worry, Val," Aster assured me, his voice firm. "The person responsible will be brought to justice."After leaving the hospital, I wasted no time. I called Ryder and to

VALERIA Yet, despite his bad mood, Aster carried me into our room and gently laid me on the bed.“I’ll get your favorite lavender oil and give you a massage. It’ll help you relax,” he said, retrieving the oil from my dresser before getting to work.“You need to take off your clothes so I can massage your back properly.”No way!“Hmm... I think I’m fine. Just sing to me instead—I’ll feel better.”Aster chuckled. “Don’t worry, I promise I won’t look. Just take it off.”“My hands hurt—I can’t do it myself. Why don’t you help me instead?” I teased.Aster’s expression froze. He stared at me, his face pale.“Are you tempting me? That would come with punishment. Are you sure you still want me to do it?”“Never mind, I’ll do it myself,” I said quickly.Aster looked visibly relieved, but the moment I sat up, I darted toward the door. He was faster. He grabbed me and pulled me back, and we tumbled onto the bed. His arms wrapped around my waist as I burst into laughter at my failed escape.He l

VALERIA Darren was doing his best, along with a few maids, to hold Linnet down. But she was completely untamed—shooting, kicking, and demanding they let her go.“Please, Val, help Linnet! Get that substance you gave her last night—maybe it can calm her down!” Aster pleaded.“What substance? What are you talking about?” Abigail asked between sobs.“Mom, don’t mind Aster,” I said. “Last night, Linnet had a fever, and I just dissolved some painkillers into her water since she couldn’t swallow pills. It brought the fever down. But this… this isn’t a fever. We need to take her to a psychiatric hospital to find out what’s really wrong.”Abigail’s face turned white, and all her usual grace vanished.“My daughter is not a lunatic! She’s just going through a hard time, and I’m sure she’ll be fine soon.”“Then why do you think her husband abandoned her here?” I said calmly. “Don’t you think it’s because of her recent behavior?”Abigail's expression twisted in shock, but I didn’t care.
