All Chapters of The Rise Of The Ugly Luna: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

       LYRIC A while later, I left to grab my belongings. Coincidentally, Jace had come around to deliver something to father. Father was thrilled when I told him of my plan to move to Darkspire. It served as a kind of assurance that the contract was going through, and he'd have nothing to worry about. As for Jace, he insisted on accompanying me to Darkspire. In his words, he wanted to help me move in. I told him about Jaris' new rules, but he didn't seem to care. Seeing that he was stubborn, I decided to call Jaris. "Please, believe me when I say Jace is merely a friend. He means no harm and only wants to help." I tried to sound as convincing as I could. By some miracle, he approved of it. Hm. Jaris Dreadmoor was showing a different side of him today, and I think I prefer this side. Jace helped me gather my things whi

LYRIC I tightened my hold around my shopping basket as I dipped my head. "Good morning, Alpha Zarek. Sorry, I almost bumped into you.""Oh, it's nothing." He chuckled. "I didn't know you came to such places. You deal with medicines?"I simply nodded. "That's nice. I only came over to check for certain things. It's a good thing that I met you here."A good thing? Why's it a good thing?I managed a smile as I stepped away. "Take care, Alpha."I walked away, continuing with my shopping. A while later, I was done and went over to the counter to clear my bills. To my surprise, the man at the counter simply packed them up and handed them over without asking me to pay. "Someone already took care of your bill," he stunned me. Oh? "Who's that?""Alpha Zarek,." He tipped his head behind me. Turning slightly, I found the Alpha learning against a shelf, waving at me with a weird smile. Okay... Why would he do a thing like this? I never asked.Dropping the bags, I went over

             LYRIC  Jaris started the car and kicked us into the road. Initially, I thought I was lucky, but it wasn't until that moment that I thought maybe, Jaris was trying to kill me for everything that just happened. Because why the hell was he going so fast!?   He was driving at an incredible speed, making all the buildings and people pass by in a blur. I thought he was mad, but when I looked at him, I saw amusement in his metallic eyes. Then, it dawned on me that he was enjoying this, and he wasn't doing it because he was mad or wanted to punish me.  I laughed at some point, also enjoying the thrill of it. But I soon became worried from how dangerous it was.  "I—I think you might want to slow down," I stuttered when we'd narrowly missed a truck. He glanced at me and smirked. "Are you afr

        LYRIC  After long hours of research, I managed to come up with something I could substitute for Jaris. Although, there was no guarantee it would work, I was hoping it would.  It was evening when I finished making the tea and proceeded to his office to give it to him. It was insane that he was always working even when he was in the Pack. It made me wonder if he had any resting time at all.  I knocked repeatedly on the door of his office but got no response. Looked like he wasn't in. But I'd already told him I'd be bringing the tea later on. So, maybe I could just go in and leave this for him.  I went into the office and carefully placed the tea on the very messy-looking table. I wondered what he was always researching on that made his table always look like a warzone.  Well, I do hope that this tea gets to work a little. It'd sa

LYRICFor two days, I avoided Jaris like a plaque. And I think he was doing the same.I know we've both been intimate before. But that was five years ago! When I was a very different person, right before he abandoned me.This body is very special now. He couldn't just look at it when he wanted."Congratulations, aunty," Xylon said with a sweet smile as I massaged his sister's scalp on the bed."For what, honey?""The mating ceremony tomorrow. We know you'll become daddy's Luna," Xyla answered.Oh. "Thank you."Actually, I'd been quite nervous about that. Jaris and I would finally be mated tomorrow, only to be broken apart after a year.But I was still more concerned about the fact we were only going to be together for a year. While it'd help my father clear his debts, I still didn't understand what Jaris would be getting out of this.Someone knocked on the door. It was the children's nanny, followed by Jaris who stood before her.Oh, damn it.I got goosebumps instantly, my t
