All Chapters of THE LYCAN ALPHA’S CONTRACT LUNA : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ETHAN I sat alone in my room, staring down at the dark stain of blood on my clothes. The events of the past few days had left me exhilarated. But I had too much fun apparently that I totally forgot to clean it up. I was glad that Aurora had been the one to see me with it. It would be easy to shut her down. If it was the rest of my family, I would have to go through the route I did not like going through. As I sat down on my bed, my thoughts drifted back to Aurora. I did not like how I had left things. I mean I believe a part of me cared about her, so I did not want to see her hurt like that. I hadn’t meant to push her away earlier, especially when she’d just wanted to check on me. I’d seen the worry in her eyes, the quiet concern that made her reach out when I clearly wasn’t welcoming it. Part of me wanted to allow her to stay back. But then, I’d forced myself to remember. This was just a contract. I was here to secure an heir, to fulfill my duties as Alpha, not to make promises

AURORA Three figures, pale and sharp-eyed, stood over me. Before I could even move, they lunged at me. Their teeth sank into my skin, draining me until my body hit the ground. I couldn’t scream, couldn’t fight back. Everything went black.I shot up in bed, gasping. My hand flew to my neck where the bites had been in the dream, but there was nothing there. Just the necklace, warm against my skin.“What…?” I whispered, my heart pounding.The room felt wrong, like something had shifted in the air. I touched the necklace. It was pulsing, like it had its own heartbeat. It wasn’t the first time it had acted strange and given me visions, but this was worse. I had never seen myself actually dead. My body was shaking as I tried to shake it off, but the vision stuck with me. The fear, the weakness. The feeling that someone or something wanted me gone. What kind of creature was that? Was it true that they were eventually coming for me? If that was it, then I needed to find a way to protect my

DAMIAN The office felt hot. I had been deep in this all day that I could feel a headache building at the back of my head. Alex’s name stared back at me from the top of the page. I had to investigate him, to get the dirt he had on him so I can finally get her back for him. As deep as I went, I realized that Alex wasn’t just trouble. He was dangerous. I’d spent weeks digging into his shady deals, and the deeper I went, the worse it got. He had too much power, too much influence. I slammed the file shut, letting out a frustrated sigh. There was no one I could trust to continue doing this for me. Wyatt was loyal, sure, but even he couldn’t look into this mess the way I could because he was clueless about tech. And my brothers? Forget it. Levi and Maddox were nothing but leeches, waiting for the right moment to swoop in and steal what wasn’t theirs.A sharp knock on the door broke my thoughts.“What?” I snapped, already irritated.Wyatt stepped in, looking uneasy. “They’re here.”“Who?”

AURORAWhen I woke up, the room was spinning. My head throbbed, and my stomach churned as nausea threatened to overtake me. I groaned, clutching my belly instinctively, my mind racing. I struggled to remember what had happened to me because my brain was too foggy. Too clouded. But when I remembered, my heart's pace immediately picked up. The sedatives. Twice in two days. Panic settled in as I sat up, my body weak and trembling. I pressed a hand to my stomach. I knew that I wanted to abort the baby, knowing that it was still small. But I did not want anything to affect it like this. It was too cruel. I did not know what bad things sedatives did to the baby when the mother is pregnant with it but I knew that it couldn’t be something good.“Are you okay?” I whispered, my voice shaking. I did not know how I was going to get out of this and be able to abort the baby before it was too late for it. I forced myself to stand, my legs unsteady beneath me. The window caught my eye, and I shuff

AURORA I sat on the edge of the bed, clutching the necklace in my hands as Anton’s words echoed in my head. Everything felt too unreal. My chest ached as I blinked back tears, my voice trembling. We sat there in heavy silence after the revelation. I had not known them all my life, but I couldn’t deny the familiarity I felt when I was sitting down with them there. They were my family.“But why?” I asked, looking up at him. “Why did you leave me? Why didn’t you come back for me you had Evelyn with you all of this time>”Anton’s face softened, and I could see the guilt in his eyes. “Aurora—Lyanna,” he corrected himself gently, “I never wanted to leave you. I fought with everything I had to keep you safe.”“Then why?” My voice broke, and I hated how raw it sounded.He sighed, running a hand through his graying hair. “On our way to safety, after I had gotten the both of you out of the house, we were ambushed by rogues. There were too many of them, and I couldn’t fight them off. They took
