All Chapters of The Fugitive Luna: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The Drunken Maiden~Orion~ "Do you have to wear this assassin's attire every time we visit a tavern? Especially this one!" Gabriel exclaimed, his hands picking at pieces of meat as he voiced his disapproval. "Gabriel, you should know better than anyone that this is my favorite haunt, and I quite enjoy the rum here. As for the cloak and hood, it's to avoid those persistent women who seem to flock towards me," I replied with a hint of annoyance. "You can't blame them, my friend. If I were a lady, I would have fallen for you long ago," Gabriel said, winking mischievously. "You must be out of your mind. Just the thought of it makes me cringe. Eww," I retorted, making an exaggerated face of disgust. Gabriel, my best friend, is a simple yet fun-loving guy. We have been inseparable since we were twelve years old. His father was the former Beta of Moonstone Haven, a position now held by my cousin, Tristan. Despite being a powerful werewolf, Gabriel always chooses peace over violence. That

Shame and Pride~Freya~ "Where am I and why am I naked?" I wondered aloud, my voice trembling with both confusion and embarrassment. This was not good. I almost screamed when I turned around to see a man by my side, completely unclothed and with his back turned towards me. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks—I had slept with a stranger. Panic and shame washed over me, knowing how scandalous it would be if my father found out that his daughter ended up in a strange man's bed. As the sharp pain throbbed through my head, I felt lightheaded from the excessive drink I had consumed the previous night. I had indulged myself despite Emelda's pleading and warnings. Where was Emelda now? Did she abandon me here with this man, or worse, did she betray me and sell me out? The anger boiled within me, and thoughts of confronting her filled my mind. She had some explaining to do. Without wasting another moment, I hastily gathered my clothes, refusing to look at the man still lying on the

Murder in the Fort~Freya~ I sat on my nuptial bed, contemplating the whirlwind of events that had unfolded in my life over the past two weeks. It felt as if I had been swept away in a dream, where everything had transpired at a breathtaking pace. From that fateful encounter with Alpha Orion at the tavern to his subsequent visit to my humble home, and now, here I was, wedded to him. I am his wife, his mate. The ceremony had been grand, a joyful celebration attended by Papa, Emelda, and Klaus, who genuinely reveled in my happiness. However, the presence of my stepmother and Sophia was a mere obligation, their disapproval of our union unmistakable. But they could no longer hold sway over me. I was finally free, unshackled like a bird. Uncertain as I was about what awaited me in this new life, I couldn't help but feel it would be a vast improvement from the torments I endured at home. Despite the apprehension that gripped me, I couldn't deny the flicker of hope within my heart. Alpha

The Bad News~Orion~It's been twenty–four hours since I've been here. We still haven't found the men missing aboard the ship. I had already decided that if the situation remains as it is, I'll give it until the end of today to see what happens. Whatever happens, I'll be leaving tomorrow at first light.The impatience was building up more and more. I had to go be with Freya and perhaps while I am home and happy, I can have enough time to think about how to deal with Alpha Kane for creating this mess. He had hindered me from spending a special time with Freya on our wedding night. I am pacing around my room, I feel like just closing my eyes and finding myself at home. If anyone had told me a year ago that I would act in such a way because of a woman–one I just met. I'll swear that for me to behave as such then I might be under the influence of something or might have brain damage or probably I was cursed. No wonder Gabriel still doesn't believe that something is wrong with my head.Y

Taken Away From Him Again~Freya~Surprisingly, Alpha Orion had told the maids to arrange a bath for me and a delicious meal. He truly is my lifesaver. I was so famished. The scraps of grains and crumbs of dried bread given to me in the prison were something I could not eat. Thinking about the prison made me sick. "Thank you," I told Alpha Orion softly after he offered me a bowl of hot broth. He told me to drink it as it was nutritious and would help me get rid of the cold. I looked like a ghost in prison. "Drink up before it gets cold." He whispered, pulling the blanket over me tightly. I still do not know why people see him as dark and ruthless. If he was all those bad things he would not be so sweet to me. They were all wrong. They hadn't had a chance to know him. I am no one, I had nothing to give this man but yet he treated me with love. "Why are you so nice to me?" I asked him, raising my eyes to meet him but I quickly looked down because his gaze was like he was looking righ
