All Chapters of The Luna's Ultimate Goal : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Dire's POVThe voices in the room were like distant murmurs, blending into a meaningless hum. That was mostly what a lot of things felt like to me anyway. I sat at the head of the table, fingers drumming against the cool surface, my eyes fixed on the reports in front of me. But I wasn’t reading. Couldn’t focus. All I could see, all I could feel, was her. Joana. Damn it, that woman is making me crack! I prided myself on having control, of my emotions, of my actions, of everything around me. I operated with precision, never letting distractions get in the way. But she… she was making me reconsider all of that. The previous night, I could have crossed a line I swore I wouldn’t. And yet, here I was, stuck on the memory of her skin beneath my fingers, the taste of her lips still lingering. She wasn’t like the others. She didn’t submit easily, and she was supposed to be the easy one. The sound of someone clearing their throat brought me back to the present. One of the executives, lo

Joana's POVCarefully, I lowered myself out of the vents and I stood before him like a guilty child who had committed an offense. “What do you think my subordinates will say when they see my wife crawling in the vent like a rodent!” He growled fiercely with his gaze cutting deep into me like a knife. “I needed answers and you were in my way,” I muttered softly while trying to maintain the eye contact. Angrily, he yelled at me,“I told you I will handle it!”“And I don't want a man taking over things I am supposed to be doing! I have the right to look for my own clues!” I lashed back at him causing a shocked expression on his face. “You reflect me and in return, my reflection covers you,” He spoke softly but clearly. “So, for the last time Joana. Back off!”“When are you going to get that I am not your puppet? You can't control me Dire, I am not some street girl that you can place how you like,”“Street girl?!” He growled angrily. “You were in the vents. If none of my men noticed,

Joana's POVLife is humanity's greatest threat. The phrase was often used by my favorite author, Jean Capardi. I knew it was figurative but I never knew I would one day experience it.I was like a prisoner in my own world. My mind and my body in contrast with my every decision. The frustration was vivid as I laid on my bed to stay calm. Word got to me that Dire had called for an emergency meeting for the members of the Council and no one was expected to be absent. I knew what he was planning and I needed to know how it would turn out to be. He might not be the one behind my attack but I was sure he had other agendas. I had to get in there. It was my right after all, not just as his wife but as the Head of the Thorson empire. I had a seat at the council table. So I took my bath, picked out a black dress, grabbed my purse and went out with confidence. I stepped out of my room to meet the hallways crowded with workers.I walked past them towards the Alpha Council chambers. I knew t

Joana's POV The voices around me became muffled as I sat, staring at the body being closed up with a tarp. Detectives and the Alpha's security team canvassed the entire area. It was like a buzzing sound was going on and on in my ears, making it hard for me to think and breathe. But his voice managed to cut through all of it,“Joana!”I turned to see Dire standing beside me and his beta at his side. “Yes,” I replied weakly. “This is the second dead body you are associated with,” Theo said with his deep and stern voice. “A normal investigation, and you will be under the microscope by now,” I was about to respond when Dire growled angrily, “Back off Theo,” His beta saw the look on his face and he backed away immediately while I stood shivering with fear. At that moment, I thought, ‘I might had bitten more than I could chew’“Everyone leave!” Dire announced and suddenly silence fell upon the place. Noone dared speak, they paused and stared. “Leave the dead body and get out now!”

Dire's POV“Sir, Romero Gordon is dead.” Theo replied. “Shut up and listen to me. You take Joana's cousin and get the hell out of that warehouse, now!” I yelled and ended the call. I tried standing up from the bed but an piercing pain shot from my spine to every single part of my body. The feeling felt like I was immersed in a pit of burning oil. I didn't heed it, I pushed through. Every move made the pain worse than the last but I knew the frustration and madness I will be faced with if i lost Joana. I needed her. “Alpha Dire,” A young and familiar lady walked in with a file in her hand. “Theo sent you, didnt he?” I asked as I continued walking, taking one step at a time. “No, I came to see you,” She responded, staring at me as I struggled like an injured mammal. There was something about her, her eyes were void of emotions.I wasn't expecting her empathy or help but she felt nothing as she watched me struggle and there was a certain hate in her eyes. With that in mind, a
