All Chapters of THE ROGUE LUNA: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Aria’s POVI sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my reflection in the mirror. The blonde wig and dark contact lenses made me look like a completely different person. It was strange, almost unsettling, to see a stranger staring back at me.A knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts.“Come in,” I called out, already knowing it was Darius.The door creaked open, and he stepped inside, his sharp gaze sweeping over me. “How are you holding up?”I forced a smile. “I’m fine. Just… adjusting.”Darius walked closer and leaned against the dresser, arms crossed. “You did well out there, but I could tell Kael was suspicious. He kept looking at you longer than necessary.”I swallowed hard, the thought of Kael recognizing me sending a chill down my spine. “Do you think he knows?”Darius shook his head. “Not yet, but he’s not a fool. If we’re not careful, he’ll figure it out.”I exhaled, running my fingers over the hem of my dress. “I’ll be careful.”His gaze softened, and for a moment, we ju

Aria’s POVThe moment my fist collided with Diamond’s face, a surge of satisfaction ran through me. But it was short-lived.The maid’s shriek echoed through the bathroom as she rushed to Diamond’s side. The impact had sent her stumbling into the wall, but she recovered quickly, wiping the corner of her lip where a small cut had formed.“Ahhh… the little bird has grown,” she sneered, straightening her tiara. “But you still act on impulse. That’s why Kael never truly saw you as Luna material.”I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to remain composed. She wanted a reaction, and I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction.“I don’t care what Kael saw or didn’t see,” I said, my voice steady. “He made his choice, and so did I.”Diamond chuckled, but there was a flicker of something else in her gaze—uncertainty, maybe even jealousy. “Oh, but you do care, Aria. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here, hiding under a fake name, playing noblewoman by Darius’s side.”I took a deep breath, my wolf, Vixen, growling

Aria’s POVAs the car hummed softly beneath us, I traced my fingers over the delicate locket Ellen had given me. It was beautiful—ornate, yet simple. A reminder of a past I had tried so hard to bury.“Are you sure you want me to have this?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Ellen smiled, her gaze warm. “Of course. You might have left, but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped caring about you.”I swallowed hard, emotions threatening to bubble over. It was strange. I had spent years believing that no one in this pack had ever truly cared about me. That I was nothing more than an outcast, a burden. And yet, here Ellen and Selene were, showing me kindness I had never expected.Selene reached over from the front seat, placing a comforting hand on mine. “You deserved better back then, Aria. We can’t change the past, but… maybe we can change the future.”I let out a breath, nodding slightly. “Maybe.”The mood in the car shifted as Ellen clapped her hands together, breaking the moment of t

Darius’s POVThe throne room was still filled with murmurs and tense whispers as the council deliberated over Kael’s accusation. I could feel the weight of every gaze in the room pressing down on me, waiting for my response. But I wasn’t rattled. If Kael thought he could use some old law to take Aria away, he was in for a rude awakening.Elder Taffy raised her hand, demanding silence once more. “Alpha Kael, since you have raised this concern, the council will require substantial evidence to support your claim. Do you have documentation or witnesses who can confirm that Aria Moon was still a member of your pack at the time she left?”Kael smirked, his confidence unwavering. “I do.” He turned his head slightly. “Bring him in.”A moment later, a man I recognized all too well strode into the room—Don, Kael’s Beta. He was a slim but tall man, I knew that whatever he was about to say would be twisted in Kael’s favor.Elder Taffy gestured for him to step forward. “State your name and rank.”

Aria’s POVI clenched my fists so tightly my nails bit into my palms. The air in Kael’s office felt thick, suffocating, as if it carried the weight of our past—of every moment he had crushed me beneath his arrogance.“You’re just following the law?” I scoffed, stepping closer to his desk. “That’s rich coming from the same man who broke the most sacred bond in our world or do you not remember rejecting me in front of the entire pack?”Kael’s lips curved into a smirk, but I caught the way his fingers tightened around his pen. “And yet, here you are, standing in my office, looking like you’re ready to tear my head off.” He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. “I think we both know I still hold power over you, Aria.”His words sent a surge of fury through me. I slammed my hands on his desk, making the papers flutter. “You don’t hold anything over me—-Not anymore.” My voice was low, dangerous.“I have a pack now—a real pack, where I’m valued. And you will not keep me here against m
