All Chapters of Eventual Luna: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Ryan POV I was in front of her door. Elena. I had to see her and let her know my real intentions.And then I knocked, soft and hesitant. I knew she was there. Knew she heard it.My pulse was steady. I clenched my jaw, trying to shake off the weight pressing against my ribs.Another knock. No answer again. And I called her name, my voice rough and unsteady. "Elena."Silence.I swallowed hard. My fingers twitched at my sides, itching for some kind of reaction. A word.Then, I heard movement.The door swung open, and there she was.Her dark eyes met mine. She was still in her dress, the fabric slightly wrinkled like she had been sitting for a while, hands clenched in her lap. Her expression was unreadable, but the tightness in her jaw, the flicker of something in her gaze…I knew she was hurting.She stepped back without a word, letting me in.The door clicked shut behind me. She turned slowly, her voice quiet but firm."You didn’t have to do that."I frowned. "Do what?"She sw

Ryan's POVMyself, Trevor and a few trusted men have to set out to the location at midnight. I I had see Elena before I left. I was halfway down the corridor when I heard the low hum of voices through Elena’s door. I slowed, one hand tightening at my side. That voice—I knew it.I knocked once, out of habit, and pushed the door open.There she was—Elena, sitting stiffly on the edge of the bed, and across from her, legs crossed, cool as ever—Aria.My sister.“Thought I’d find you here,” I said, stepping in, eyes flicking between the two of them. Elena looked like she’d just been caught in a storm, wide-eyed, cheeks flushed. Aria? She just smirked at me like I was late for something.“I see you two have met,” I muttered, trying to smooth the tension clinging to the air.Elena stood a little too quickly, brushing invisible dust off her dress. “I didn’t know she was your sister,” she said, voice low, almost apologetic.“I figured as much.” I glanced at Aria, who gave me a look that said

Ryan's POV She caught me just before I reached the door. And then, I felt it. The heat of her lips crashing into mine like it was the last thing she’d ever do.I didn’t have time to think.. just feel.I kissed her back, just as desperate.And then she whispered, “Come back. Okay?”I paused for a moment. I couldn’t give her an answer with certainty.But I had to say what she needs to hear. For her own good. “I will.”Then I turned and left. The air outside was colder than before, sharp with midnight tension. My boots echoed against stone as I approached the courtyard, and the moment they saw me, the eight chosen warriors sharpened, straightening their backs. Trevor stepped beside me. “We’re all here.”“Good,” I said, voice low and tight. “No mistakes. We do this clean.”And they all nodded. I scanned their faces. Trevor chose these seven men. His most trusted and skilled men to carry out this secret raid. “Same plan,” I said. “Flank tight, silent approach. If they’re waitin

Elena POVI woke up sharp. The sun was barely in the sky, but my eyes flung open like they'd been waiting all night. I didn't remember getting much sleep. And how could I? Ryan had gone on another raid call, and considering how the previous one went, I had cause to be worried. And just like that, my thoughts snapped to him. As it were throughout last night. I could only sit down here and hope he's alright. “Please be okay.”I whispered it into the pillow before sitting up. My hands shook a little as I reached for my robe. I didn’t bother brushing my hair. I didn't feel like it. I didn't feel like doing anything until I see Ryan. But maybe, taking a walk around, or talking to someone could clear my mind. I stepped out of my room, and then, the soft air of the morning hit me. The halls were quiet, servants just starting their day. I made my way down, to the long hallway that led to the kitchens and the dining hall.The smell of food hit me first. Fresh bread, something warm

Elena POVI gave myself a moment in front of Ryan's door and then pushed it open. “Elena?”My name on his lips stopped me before I could take another step. I inhaled sharply and then stepped inside. “Hey,” he said, standing up at once. “You alright?”“I… yeah.” I closed the door gently behind me. “I needed to talk to you.”He motioned for me to sit, and I did. “What is it?” he asked, his brows folded.I gave myself a moment, letting the silence stretch.“I saw Aria today just before you arrive and we talked.”He nodded, waiting for me to finish. “She said…” My hands curled at my sides. “She said I might not be wolfless after all.”His breath hitched. Just a little. The smallest flicker of shock on his face.“She says she can feel it in me. The scent of a wolf. A powerful one. That maybe… the reason I haven’t shifted isn’t because I’m empty. But because I’m blocked.” I looked up, my eyes meeting his. “That something… maybe what happened to my mother… has locked it inside me.”He
