All Chapters of Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ethan P.O.VI felt a gentle warmth on my chest while I was out on the balcony, taking a puff. Lucy wrapped her arms around me, planting soft kisses on my back. It was the same sweet kiss I always got, and I should be feeling over the moon with all this love from her. But honestly, it just feels hollow right now."What's on your mind?" Lucy asked, her hand resting on my abs. It tickled a bit, but it didn't really spark anything."I'm just trying to figure out how to make a solid offer for the exchange," I said.But that wasn't the real thought running through my head. There was something more profound, but I kept it simple to avoid stirring up unnecessary drama between us.Lucy shifted, now standing before me, wrapped only in a sheet, with nothing else on her.Her curves are so perfectly shaped; I can't help but want to touch them all the time. Honestly, after we hook up, I just want to chill and enjoy that moment."How about we devise a clever plan to buy some time until Christopher G

Claire P.O.V"What are you up to over there?" Ethan asked, looking pretty annoyed.I could see the frustration and irritation written all over his face. It felt like he had come here just to take it out on me. But honestly, I didn't want to let it bother me.He stepped closer, and I noticed he looked more put together that afternoon. Like Chen Lien mentioned, Ethan and I had been busy with something outside.His long black coat fluttered a bit as he moved. I wasn't sure when he started wearing it, but I could still see his cologne mixed with Lucy's scent.Sure thing! No one could break their bond, especially with all those pheromones flying around when they were together."Are you trying to make a run for it?" he asked, just a short distance away.What was that all about? If I really wanted to, I might have pulled a Chen Lien and jumped out the window. But here I was, stuck in this situation, not wanting to make things worse."If I wanted to leave, why are you still here with me?" Eth

Ethan P.O.VI stood up and said, "I don't think this chat is going anywhere anymore."There was still a lot of food left on my plate, but I chose to get up from the table. The longer I stayed, the more pointless my talk with Chen Lien felt."Alpha,"Called out an old man named Ethan as he stepped out of the dining room.Ethan glanced back at the elderly man seated with us at the table. It was Elder Elvis, a pretty impressive figure as long as he held his position. Elvis hardly ever paid attention to my business or anything else, for that matter.But look at him now. He called my name without even glancing at me."What do you need, El?""She's your destined mate, right?""What do you want?""Your job is to protect her, but trying to mould her into what you want will drive you crazy. So, quit being unfair and figure out who you'll make Luna in this Pack.""What does that even mean? Am I not the top candidate for Luna in this Pack? Why are you still doubting what's obvious?" Lucy shot ba

Ethan P.O.VI let out a growl when that damn Rouge Wolf bit my hand hard. I really shouldn't have dropped my guard. Claire screamed when it happened, and I could see she was ready to fight back, but I quickly told her to stay behind me.I thought that those pesky Rouge Wolves would back off if I stood up to him since they knew who I was. Turns out, I was totally wrong. When I tried to push them away, I looked like a total loser in front of this Luna I didn't want to acknowledge.These guys are part of the Rouge Wolf pack that hangs out deep in the mountains behind the forest. Our housepack is right on the edge of their hunting grounds. You'd think they'd back off when they realized I was the Alpha, but instead, they just got even more aggressive.Ten years ago, I clashed with their leader over territory expansion. They were furious, and ever since, they've been hell-bent on reclaiming what they lost, pulling stunts like this occasionally. Right before the full moon, they have this rit

Claire P.O.VThe woman took care of the cut on my elbow and a few other bruises I had. I still didn't know her name, but I could feel her kindness; it made me forget I was in a challenging situation."It's not the typical hospital stuff, but I promise you, the remedies we use here will help you heal way faster than what you'd get there," she said, her expression steady and reassuring.Once everyone was patched up, we sat by a cosy bonfire, enjoying drinks. The warmth wrapped around us as we chatted quietly, trying not to disturb those who had drifted off to sleep."This is surprising, isn't it?""Yea—sorry?""You watched us attack Alpha Ethan's packhouse, causing chaos and taking out some Warriors. But we just chilled by the campfire, looking all good, even after what went down."I nodded slightly, feeling what was being said."Yeah, I get it. You probably think we're all just a bunch of weirdos with dreams about things we shouldn't be fighting over since we're Rogue Wolves with no la
