All Chapters of The Luna's Second Chance: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Darius's POVAfter she walked away, I turned towards the way to my office building that I make use of in the pack for official purposes. Same as her, I was done with the dinner party and had no intention of going back. I was avoiding chances of having to make pointless small talks. Socializing was something I had crossed out of my list. My father had made sure of that.Growing up, my father had been a hard man. He was extremely strict and controlling at home. His idea of teaching me responsibility was through fear and intimidation. He'd often scold me, telling me I was worthless and that I would never amount to anything for being soft. I was always walking on eggshells around him because I never know when he would lash out at me.As I grew older, I began to realize that his behavior was not normal. He was abusive, and not just to me but my mother as well. His actions left deep scars in me. My mother and I had to hide our emotions, pretend that everything was fine when it wasn't. He wa

Aurora’s PovAfter Alpha Darius left, I took a moment before heading back to the Villa that served as the packhouse. Tonight's dinner party had taken place in the Grand dining hall inside the villa which was the only route I knew back to my room. As I entered the hall, I could hear whisper of hushed conversations, but I ignored them as I made my way to the staircase that leads to my room on the second floor. Just as I reached the stairs, I heard Aria call my name “Aurora”.But I didn't acknowledge her. I saw my mother in law, Avery, coming to my direction, her eyes locked on me but I didn't slow down and quickened my pace when a woman intercepted her in a conversation. The moment I stepped into my room, I exhaled, letting the weight of the evening settle over me. My body ached from tension, and my mind was a mess of twisted thoughts. I had changed something. I hope.In my past life, this dinner had been a disaster. Kieran’s mother had humiliated me in front of everyone, showing e

Aurora’s Pov As soon as Kieran left, I felt relieved. I was half scared he would want to try something funny but thankfully he didn't. I let out a long sigh. Finally, I can lay my head to sleep. I wasn’t sure which emotion was stronger, relief or anger. Relief that he was gone, that I didn’t have to deal with his manipulative behaviors tonight and anger that he even dared to think he could touch me after being with another woman. I wasn’t that weak, stupid, naive girl anymore. I wouldn’t let him have sex with me again. More than anything, I wouldn’t let history repeat itself. I felt my heart clenched as I remembered Caleb. The memories of Caleb came flooding, my heart felt like it was being squeezed. The pain was suffocating, making it hard to breathe. I remembered Caleb, my sweet, innocent child, and the agony I felt when I lost him. I sobbed uncontrollably, the tears streaming down my face. I even made Aria his godmother. A deceitful, two-faced bitch. She honestly des

Darius's POV I leaned back in the chair, resting my head on the sofa, my fingers tapping against the armrest gently as I thought of the best answer to give Ezra. He sat in silence, looking at me with a look of quiet concentration, expecting what my response will be. Everything happened so suddenly, I haven't been able to process it all without the bond kicking in and making me act all unreasonable but I blame it all on my pent-up hormones. “So I spoke to our investigator about her after you asked me to find everything about her,” he said, seeing I wasn’t saying anything. “He’ll be getting back to me soon with details. Once I have them, I’ll forward everything to you.” I exhaled slowly. Aurora was still too much of a mystery, I really know nothing about her apart from the fact that she was introduced to me as Kieran's mate. I needed to know everything about her. Where she came from, what kind of life she lived before she ended up in my territory, before she became Kieran’s mat

Aurora's POV “Don't” I held up a hand.He sighed. “Look, I know my mother can…” “She hates me. I know,” I cut him off. “I’m used to it.” It wasn't a secret to everyone that she had always hated me. Avery jumps at every opportunity she sees to make me miserable, calling me names, correcting my mistakes and when she heard that Kieran and I were mated, all hell broke loose that day, especially when Kieran told her that he had no plan to reject me. “She had no right to hit you,” he frowned. “And yet, you stood there and did nothing until your father stepped in,” I scoffed. Kieran exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. “That’s not fair. What could I have done?” “Something or anything?” I crossed my arms. “You didn’t exactly defend me, Kieran.” He clenched his jaw but didn’t argue. Instead, he changed the subject. “I’m going into town for some business,” he said. “Would you like to come?” “With all the news about me right now? Do you really think that’s a good idea
