All Chapters of Eventual Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

~Elena~"Welcome, my future Luna."The words barely had time to settle before Crystal stiffened like she’d been struck.The air froze.Then—"Excuse me?" she snapped, voice like a blade, sharp and cold.Trevor turned, unreadable, but Crystal was already seething."I am the future Luna," she spat, her fingers digging into Ryan’s arm like claws. "Not her."Her gaze burned into Trevor’s, daring him to challenge her. Daring him to argue."Elena is just my stepsister."My name hit the air like something rotten, like the word itself made her sick."And nothing more."The tension spiked, so thick it felt like it might crush me.I didn’t move.Didn’t breathe.Trevor’s eyes flickered between us, searching. Studying. Like he already knew something we didn’t.But he didn’t argue. Didn’t react. Just gave a slow, measured nod."Of course," he said smoothly. "My apologies, Luna."But something about the way he said it was... off.Like he’d meant it.Like calling me that wasn’t a mistake at all.Crys

~Ryan~She finally looked at me. Something slammed through me. Something sharp, deep, aching.Like a thread tightening. Like a fucking bond twisting between us.I sucked in a slow, controlled breath, locking my jaw, forcing my face to stay blank.But my chest?My chest was fucking burning.It was her. It was always her. I had no doubts anymore. She is my mate. Elena is my mate, not Crystal. And I didn’t know if I wanted to fucking run or pull her closer until she felt it too.“Ryan?” Elena's sharp voice snapped me out. “... Yes? What is it?” I said, my words a bit flustered. “You seemed lost for a second.” She answered. And just then I pulled my head up to see her face. Her eyes! God they were beautiful. Seeing her now. She's the most beautiful lady I've ever seen. Where was this beauty when I picked her up from her pack? Or when she was wandering in the forest. Perhaps, my eyes have now been pone to the beauty of my true mate. “.. Hello… “ her soft whisper whistled to my e

Elena POVJust then I heard a humorless laugh. “Who do you think you are? Excuse us, she's my wife and we'll settle our matter among us.”That's not how you handle a matter.” I shot back. Just then, he dropped the lady and turned to me. His eyes were burning with rage. “Go now or else… “ the man warned, clenching his fists tightly. “Ma’ am please just go. He'll hurt you.” I heard the feint voice of the woman he was assaulting. Her face was swollen from his attacks, her voice was shaky, fear gripped her. For a moment I wanted to step back. I couldn't fight this man. Leaving would be the wisest option. But… I can't just walk away and let this man continue assaulting her. “No! I won't… Sir I'll ask you again leave her be or else… “I snapped back at him. Even if was a bit surprised by my bravery. Maybe, it was bravery or maybe it was just stupidity, but either way I wasn't standing down. But, the surprise quickly washed off his face. Now, it was pure rage. “I'm going to kill y

Elena POVI was closely following right behind Ryan as we moved to the meeting room. Reaching there, that tingling aroma from before reached my nostrils. That means whatever was happening in the meeting room was a special occasion. I stepped into the room and just then my eyes landed on them… Crystal wrapped herself around Ryan, squeezing tight around him like she owned him. And just then Ryan turned his gaze to me. And then, I saw something flicker in his eye. Guilt! Was he guilty because of me? “The aroma here is quite nice.” I said before walking away. I tried my best not to make that situation any more awkward than it already was. But, I couldn't help myself but feel jealous. And I hated it.. But, Ryan was my mate and those feelings are almost inevitable. But he chose Crystal and there was nothing I could do about it. I watched as Ryan and Crystal moved to their seats. Ryan was at the head of the table, and she seat just beside him to his right, as future Luna and t

Ryan POVNot a single damn soul.I exhaled hard, grip tightening on my blades. Something wasn’t right.And then—it hit me.That scent.Faint, but there. Werewolves, they were close by.The hair on the back of my neck stood up. My gut twisted. My wolf snarled.A trap.“Scatter!” I barked, turning sharply. “Now!”“It's a trap!”The first arrow came like a whisper.Then the night exploded.A sickening thwack—then gurgling. A warrior jerked beside me, his eyes wide, blood bubbling at his lips. He collapsed hard, hands twitching in the dirt, then still.More arrows.They were coming in fast and from everywhere. The air screamed with them. Hissing past my face, slamming into bodies, tearing through flesh, armor, bone.Callum staggered. Chest shot through. His mouth opened like he wanted to speak, but then—gone. Just gone.“MOVE! COVER! NOW!” I snarled, twisting, already sprinting through the chaos.Another arrow—too fast—THWACK.FUCK.Pain ripped through my back, deep, burning, raw. My vi
