They were laughing—so lost in their own world that they hadn’t noticed her yet. Luke’s arm was slung casually around the girl’s shoulders, his grip possessive, his smile smug. They looked… happy. Completely at ease with each other.

Something twisted inside Arda.

It wasn’t jealousy.

Not even regret.

Just… the bitter aftertaste of a memory that had once stung like an open wound.

And then it happened.

Luke looked up.

His laughter faltered.

His eyes locked onto hers.

For a fraction of a second, time seemed to stand still.

The recognition in his gaze was swift, followed by something else—something unreadable. Surprise? Confusion? Annoyance?

Then his gaze shifted.

To Gillow.

A new kind of tension rippled through the air, almost tangible.

Luke’s expression hardened as he made the connection. He had seen Gillow before—on that very same day. The mysterious man who had stolen Arda’s attention the moment he’d walked into the restaurant.

Now, that man was sitting across from her. Holding her hand

    Chapter 82 — Alpha's Luna Unleashed “Wait here.” Gillow’s voice was low but edged with steel. Arda froze as he breezed to the door, his movements a blur. Outside, deep gouges marred the wood—fresh claw marks. He inhaled once, and recognition flashed in his eyes. “I know this scent,” he muttered. “Felicia.” His voice sharpened. “You play hide and seek now?” In a rush of air, Felicia materialized, her lips curved in a practiced smile. “What was this for?” Gillow demanded. “Nothing,” she replied lightly. “Just wondering if you’re willing to have two mates.” “You’re angry,” he said flatly. “Jealous,” she corrected, her tone too casual. “Let it go.” “Alpha, I—” “Let it go!” The sudden Alpha command cut through the daylight like a blade. Felicia fell silent. From inside, Arda had heard every word. Quietly, she stepped out, curiosity in her eyes. Felicia’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. “Future Luna,” she greeted smoothly. “Moonchild. How prepared are you for the mating ceremony

    Gillow's gaze arrested Arda. "Don't hide anything from me, please." He said. Her eyes dropped to the words and she read it quietly. This time her lips trembled. "The moon child is destined to mate the Alpha of the hybrids," she read and looked at Gillow. "This part, we all understand it's me and you. He nodded. Her eyes fell back to the words. "who shall, when the moon aligns like no other," she looked at him again. He was watching, listening with keenness and a kind of reverence as though she was a precious oracle. She saw his belief in her. it made her feel more loved than confident. "This part is talking about the full moon." He nodded and her eyes dropped back to the words "level the mountain among them to nothingness." She looked at him again. "Among them" refers to you and your pack and I." She explained. He nodded. " And the mountain among us?" She swallowed. "It's about you and the pack's craving for my blood." Gillow was confused even though she was making sense. "Ar

    Arda's eyes scanned the library with wonder. The library still took her breath away—its towering shelves, golden chandeliers, and dust motes floating like galaxies.She lingered on a portrait of Gillow’s ancestors before turning to the battered tome on the oak table. Curiosity tugged at her chest. She was ready now—ready to face every word of the prophecy.Gillow watched her, warmth in his eyes. He loved seeing her awe.“The Elder spends most of his time here,” he said gently. “His office is just behind that door—the inner chamber.”Arda glanced toward the door, imagining the old werewolf vampire surrounded by books and secrets.“In our community,” Gillow continued, “he’s the wisest of us. And still, he’s been searching for a cure for the craving… for your blood.”The words struck her like a sudden chill. Her fingers tightened on the table’s edge.He saw it at once and stepped closer, voice firm but soft. “Calm down, mate. The dose is still active—you’re safe.”She nodded, though the

    It was just after nine when Gillow pulled up to the school gates. He waited in the car, his sharp gaze fixed on the building until Arda appeared. She hurried down the steps with her bag, spotting him at once. Without a word, he leaned over to push the door open, and she slid into the seat beside him.The atmosphere between them had shifted, almost imperceptibly but enough for Arda to feel it. The dread that used to knot her chest whenever she sat in his presence was loosening, replaced by a strange sense of safety. He was still intimidating—he always would be—but there was something about him now that comforted her more than it frightened her.Gillow brushed his knuckles against her cheek, his voice carrying a teasing edge.“How did your session with your supervisor go? Tell me he misbehaved so I can go and snap his neck.”Arda let out a small laugh, her lips curving into a smug little smile. “No… he behaved. He was so nervous he could hardly look at me.”Gillow’s mouth twitched upwar

    The garden shimmered beneath the soft silver hue of twilight, the last strokes of sun bowing out to the deepening night. Lights from the mansion spilled gently across the path, casting golden trails along the edges of stone, leaf, and water. The natural waterfall Arda had always admired now whispered soothingly in the background, its steady cascade sounding like a lullaby sung by the Earth itself.A breeze, cool and perfumed with the scent of wild jasmine and dew-laced roses, brushed past Arda’s cheek. Her hair danced in the wind. It felt as though the night wanted to touch her too, to press itself gently against her skin.She sat cross-legged on a cushioned bench under a canopy of moon-kissed trees. Her notepad lay open on her lap, half-filled with scribbles—notes she’d managed to take in between the moments her heart betrayed her and focused more on him than the work.Gillow was beside her, dangerously close. His voice—velvety and unhurried—filled the space between them like music.

  • Born For The Alpha   77: Regret and Redemption

    Arda remained curled up on the edge of the bed, the weight of guilt pressing down on her like a shroud. Her heart ached—not for herself, but for the people she had dragged into her mess. Karina. Chester. She hadn’t meant for this to happen. She only wanted to protect them… but in the end, she’d betrayed them instead.A soft click echoed in the silence—the door. She didn’t flinch. Gillow was locking her in. Strangely, she was grateful. She hadn’t wanted to leave. She didn’t deserve freedom, not now. She wanted to be alone with her regret.The tears came slowly at first. Then violently. Her chest heaved with silent sobs until sleep overtook her like a thief in the night.---She awoke to a faint rustling. Movement. Distant, yet inside the room.She sat up, disoriented, blinking against the dim lighting. A glance at the clock told her it was nearly past midnight. Her stomach grumbled its own protest, making her wince.Curious and cautious, she stepped quietly toward the sound.There he w
