Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Vengeful Luna Strikes Back : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

FreyaI hurried out of the house, my heart racing as I desperately searched for Darren. He couldn’t know what his parents were planning—he couldn’t. The conversation I’d overheard still echoed in my head, unbelievable and horrifying. My thoughts were interrupted when I bumped into someone.“Oh, sorry,” I began, but then I saw it was Claire.“Are you okay?” she asked, her brows furrowed in concern. “We still have a few hours until the wedding, so you can redo your makeup if needed.” Her reassurance would have been comforting a few minutes earlier , but now it barely registered.“Have you seen Darren?” My voice trembled with urgency, and Claire’s eyes widened in alarm. She glanced around but shook her head.“I haven’t seen him,” she admitted."What's wrong?""Nothing" I answered and darted off, leaving her behind as I weaved through the guests. It's not time to explain things. Some teased me, making lighthearted comments about how I couldn’t wait to get married when I asked them about

Fortunately, the cabin wasn’t so far from my pack, it's a few hours drive and I could easily trace my way back with Aster by my side. Perhaps because everything happened at night but in the daytime, things were so much worse than I anticipated. I could smell blood mixed with decaying bodies way before we stepped foot on the property. With my hand covering my mouth, as if to stop myself from screaming in agony, I looked around the place, tears streaming down my face. I fall to the ground, overwhelmed with emotions. “No, no, no…” I cried, sobbing and unable to move. All the buildings have been destroyed, the whole place wrecked to the ground and reduced to nothing, a sign that the Shadow-Moon has completely taken ownership of the property. I didn’t know how long I stood there sobbing until I felt a hand clasped over my shoulder, I twisted around, coming face to face with the stranger that rescued me. He looked past me, then at the lifeless bodies laying all over the place, a horrifi

FREYAA waiter stopped by and handed us the menu. I placed my order, and Aster followed suit. After serving us wine, the waiter took the menu away.I took a sip, savoring the rich, smooth, silky liquid as it flowed down my throat."It's a great wine," I said."Yeah, Italy’s finest. I'm glad you like it," Aster replied."So, about this meeting, what do you want us to talk about?""Freya," Aster said, placing his hand over mine on the table. His tone soft and gentle. From my seat, I can see the lustful desire burning inside his brown iris. Is as if I'm seeing through his soul. He swallowed the lump in his throat, making his Adam apple to pop up."I want you to be my Luna."I choked, spilling the liquor in my mouth."W-what... did you just say?" I stuttered, my eyes widening in shock. I knew Aster wanted me close. I knew he had feelings for me. But I never imagined he would make my job so easy—so achievable."Aster...""Shhh," he hushed me, pressing a finger to my lips."Don't say anythi

Aster wrapped his arms around me, his hands resting on my waist. If Aster had been from any other family, I might have been charmed by his looks and thoughtful nature. His affectionate touches might have broken the walls I had built around myself. But he was a Shadow-Moon, and his family had wronged me in ways I could never forgive.I felt nothing for him—only the anticipation of meeting his cruel family.“Will that be okay with you?” Aster asked, pulling me from my thoughts.“Hm? Excuse me—what did you just say?”“Will two weeks be convenient for you?”“Of course,” I replied. “That will be fine.”“I’ll pick you up at the weekend.”“Okay.”He kissed me one last time before heading for his car.As soon as I shut the door behind me, I slowly slide on the floor holding my knees tightly. I wasn't weak or reconsidering my actions, instead I was excited. Can't stop imagining how destructive my revenge will be on the Shadow -Moon's. By the time I finish dealing with them, Aster will have no r

A smirk playing on his lips.Aster cleared his throat, prompting Darren to release my hand."Forgive my manners, Valeria," Darren said smoothly. "It's in our blood to misbehave when we meet a woman as beautiful and captivating as you."Despite myself, I smiled. Darren found me attractive. That was a bonus.Casper cleared his throat, casting a pointed look at his son."Don't you agree, Father?" Darren challenged. "Who would've thought Aster would choose someone like her? Classy, elegant, and beautiful—just the way we like our women.""He is my son, after all," Casper mused. "Why wouldn't he? Look at your mother, look at Thalia. Don't they both look amazing? And now Valeria. We know how to choose the right women."They laughed."Yeah, we sure do," Darren added.Aster squeezed my hand, his face glowing with the silent message: I told you they would love you."Shameless," Abigail scolded. "Stop embarrassing the poor girl." Then she turned to me. "Don't mind them. That’s just how my boys
