All Chapters of Luna’s Second Chance : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

~Aria~I stormed out of my room. I couldn't stay here, it felt too suffocating. I didn’t care where I was going. I just needed to be anywhere but inside that suffocating chamber, anywhere but standing under the weight of their eyes, his eyes, pretending that I hadn’t just been discarded like I was nothing.The halls were endless. The stares unbearable.They whispered when I passed."She thought she could be our Luna?""Rejected. Just like that.""Pathetic."The words stung me deep. I couldn't bear to hear more of it.So I walked faster until I was outside the quarters. I had to get out. Had to.The air inside was too thick, pressing down, choking me, clinging to my skin like fucking static and I couldn’t—couldn’t— breathe. My hands were shaking, useless, my heartbeat slamming against my ribs, my throat, my skull, too loud, too fast, like it was trying to crawl out of me.I shoved through the doors, didn’t even feel my feet hit the ground, just moved. Stumbled, almost tripped, didn’

~Luca~I stood there, pacing, burning, breath coming too fast, too sharp. I won't let a man harm my mate and go scot free. Never! Elijah’s voice cut through the roaring in my head.“He’s in the chamber.”I stopped and turned to him. Elijah looked at me, something heavy in his eyes. Something that almost looked like regret.I didn’t care. Didn’t answer him.Didn’t even breathe before I moved.I stormed past him, down the halls, past the guards, past the open stares of those who didn’t dare speak—My feet barely fucking touched the ground.The doors to the chamber were already open for me.And there he was. That piece of shit.On his knees.He was tied up. The second his eyes landed on me, he broke.“P—please,” he gasped, voice already thick with terror, with desperation. “Alpha—please, I— I didn’t mean— I wasn’t thinking— I was drunk, I—”I didn’t stop walking.“Please! I was angry, I— I lost control, I swear— I would never— please—”I stopped right in front of him.Looked down a

Luca’s POVThe office was quiet. Too fucking quiet.It had been a day. A fucking day.Aria was gone. I let her go.The right choice. The rational choice. The fucking logical choice.Then why the fuck did it feel like my chest was being hollowed out with a dull knife? She wanted to go, didn’t she?Or did she want me to stop her?I exhaled hard, rubbing my face, trying to drown out the noise, the regret, the fucking ache that had been clawing at me since the second she walked away. Since I let her.A knock. Sharp. Clipped.Didn’t answer. Didn’t fucking care.The door swung open anyway.Elena.Her eyes found mine like she already knew. Like she had been waiting for this.I stiffened, forcing the mask back on. Shoving all the fucking wreckage deep, deep, deeper.“What do you want?” I muttered, reaching for the half-empty bottle of whiskey on my desk.She stepped inside, shut the door behind her. Crossed her arms. That sharp, knowing fucking look in her eyes.“You look like shit.”I snorte

Aria’s POVI stood, forcing my limbs to move. “Thanks for tonight, Cole.”He just sighed. “Anytime.” I could see the disappointment on his face. Elijah was already moving.Already leading me away. And I followed carefully behind him till we reached the car.I waited till we entered the car, and then I snapped.“What the fuck was that, Elijah?” Elijah didn’t even look at me. He just turned the key, started the car, and pulled away from the curb like he hadn’t just dragged me away from my fucking date.Like he hadn’t just walked in, sat down, and ripped me out of that restaurant like I was a fucking child.Like I didn’t have a say.Like I didn’t fucking matter.“Elijah,” I snarled, voice sharp and shaking. “What the fuck was that?”Still, nothing.“You think you can just come in and do whatever the hell you want? You think you can just—just fucking control me?”Silence. “Elijah!” I exploded, slamming my palm against the dashboard. “I am not his anymore! Do you understand that? I’m

One hour was enough for me to get a quick shower and freshen up a little. But, I still couldn't shake off the vision. Talking with the white wolf. And then it says I'm a white wolf too.‘You are a White Wolf, Aria.And whether you accept it or not—your destiny is already in motion.’ The words were still fresh in my mind. It was all too overwhelming for me… But, for now all that has to wait. I had to see Jasmine. And try to explain and make sense of what happened. I grabbed my jacket and pushed the door open. But, moment I stepped outside, I knew.Something was watching me. I just had that tingle. It wasn’t just paranoia. It was something thick and heavy in the air, curling around me like a warning.I ignored it.“Taxi!!” I yelled standing on the sidewalk. The can drove to me and I slid into the backseat, rattled off the address Jasmine sent me, and tried to shake the feeling.Didn’t work.The entire ride, I felt it. A weight pressing into my back. Every streetlight we passed
