All Chapters of A Luna's Silent Tears: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

~~~~~"You have to return, child. This is not the place for you..."~~~~~Killian's POVLucienne’s words haunted me and with a heavy heart, I drove aimlessly through the streets of the pack. I eventually parked the car at the pack house and then decided to go for a walk. The night air was cool against my skin as I navigated through the familiar streets, seeking solace in the rhythm of my footsteps.Eventually, I found myself on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the moonlit forest. Without hesitation, I stepped out onto the forest floor, letting the familiar sights and sounds of the wilderness wash over me then I changed into my wolf. With each leap, I felt the tension in my muscles melt away, replaced by the feeling of calm and clarity. My first stop was at the moon river, saying a quick prayer to the Goddess on Lucienne'a state then I decided to patrol the whole pack before heading back home. As I reached the borders of our territory, I paused, inhaling

~Lucienne~“Why are you sending me back?” I sobbed, my hands on my folded knees as I looked up to our creator. “I'm not sending you back, child. You just… never truly left them,” The goddess wiped my tears. “Not to mention, there's someone waiting for you out there.”“ Who? Killian? Didn't he die from the attack?” “He was saved on time and he's waiting for you to wake up and recognize him. “ Is he my… mate?” I asked with a held breath but she just chuckled and gave me a peck on the forehead.“Return, child. All will be known in due time.”As I stirred from the depths of unconsciousness, my eyelids fluttered open, and the harsh brightness of the hospital room assaulted my senses. Blinking away the haze, I tried to make sense of my surroundings. The sterile scent of disinfectant filled the air, mingling with the faint beeping of machines nearby. My head throbbed with dull pain, and I gingerly touched the bandage wrapped around it.Tears stung at the corners of my eyes as the memorie

~Lucienne~ As we strolled along the bustling but calm streets, I couldn't help but soak in every detail of this new environment. This place seemed like a world unto itself, teeming with life and activity. Everywhere I looked, there were people going about their tasks with purpose and determination, their movements fluid and efficient. Unlike the pack I was accustomed to, where hierarchy and tradition ruled every interaction, here there was a sense of equality and camaraderie that was both refreshing and disconcerting. It was as if the usual barriers and divisions that separated alphas, betas, and omegas had been erased, replaced by a feeling of unity and cooperation that transcended rank. "I've never seen anything like this," I remarked, my voice tinged with wonder. "Back in my old pack, everyone had their place, their role to fulfill. But here... it's different. It's like... like we're all part of the same pack." Doctor Hayes nodded, her expression thoughtful. "Yes, that's one of

~Killian~"Lucienne," I began again, my voice now firm and commanding. "You should be resting. Hope the walk didn't drain you much?" I chided, though my tone softened slightly as I saw the apologetic look in her eyes.Lucienne's gaze dropped, her voice barely above a whisper as she responded with a small smile. "I'm sorry, Killian," she murmured, her words laced with guilt. "I guess I should call you Alpha Killian now… It just needed some fresh air, and Doctor Hayes said it would be okay. But I am fine, I assure you."I sighed, running a hand through my hair in frustration. "I understand, Lucienne," I admitted, my tone gentler now as I reached out to help her sit down. "But you need to prioritize your health right now."She nodded in understanding, her expression contrite as she met my gaze. "I'm sorry," she repeated, her voice tinged with regret. "I promise I won't do anything reckless again. I need to pay you back after all.”I offered her a small smile, unable to stay angry with her

~Lucienne~I was expecting Dr. Hayes at the door but instead, it was Killian... Sorry, I meant Alpha Killian. The moment he mentioned therapy, it felt like all the demons I locked away in a box began to laugh, mocking me for thinking I could bury them without a hitch. That wasn't my main problem though. It was doctor Hayes. Earlier, from the corner of my eye, I saw her pain etched on her face, and it made me feel like I had committed some unforgivable sin by hugging Killian. I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt, and I knew I had to confront it. So, despite my initial reluctance, I decided to seek out Dr. Hayes and clear the air.As I stepped out of my room, my heart pounded in my chest with each step I took towards Dr. Hayes's office. I couldn't help but wonder what her reaction would be when I confronted her about what I saw earlier. Would she be angry with me for getting too close to Killian? Or would she understand my actions?When I arrived at her office, however, I was met
