Chasing His Rogue Lunaย ย ย The Truth
Third Person POVThe whole place fell into a deathly silence. The maids, servers and other servants in waiting held their breath, knowing Landonโs fury was unmatchable. And right now, he looked like he would simply prowl the people around him. Ravena was the first to recover from the shock of his anger. โLandon, you were supposed to come by the end of this week,โ she stammered. But he did not spare her a glance. Instead, he hurried towards Elea, helping her stand. โAre you okay? Are you hurt?โ He asked with great concern, but Elea was far too pissed with every person around her. โI am fine, let me be,โ she mumbled, shoving his helping hand aside. He gave her a crisp nod before turning to his fiancee. And when he did, anger rippled off him in waves. โWhat is she doing here, Ravena?โ He gritted out, eyes blazing with rage.The other woman shrugged, her lips contorted into a grimace as she threw a nasty look at Elea. โWell, she was lazing around, Landon, and I am sure you did not s

Third Person POVโYou can ask your mate what happened,โ Elea spewed. โI am sure she has a tale to tell.โ Her skin shimmered with bubbling rage and she barely could contain it within herself. โRavena crossed a line she should not have,โ Landon muttered with a frown. โI will talk to her.โ Elea wanted to laugh mirthlessly. โShe has crossed far too many lines to count, and I am not making any promises that I wonโt give her back in spades.โLandon noticed a shade of hatred he had never seen before, and hatred was all he had seen in her. But this time it was different. It had nothing to do with jealousy or bitterness but was laced with anger.His brows were drawn together as he studied her. โWhat are you talking about?โ he asked softly. She speared him with a sharp look of disdain. โYou know, instead of chewing my head, you can go and ask her.โ The woman and her temper, Landon thought. Nothing she had ever done without being asked twice. Having a low tolerance himself, Landon growled

RAVENAI lay on my back, staring at the ceiling as anger slithered all over my veins like a poisonous serpent. Ever since the day, Landon had kicked me out of his mansion before raking a blow to my sterling reputation, I could not have his words stop playing inside my head. I could feel the eyes of those women on me, the servants smirking from afarโthe very same ones who bowed before meโand all of them relishing my humiliation. For what? A filthy rogue bitch. The incident made me certain that Landon does share something with her, and that the facade of a captive rogue was nothing but a charade.The sound of the door opening broke my train of thought. I did not need to look to know who would dare to enter my room without knocking. โAre you alright?โ Ryker, my brother, asked as he seated himself on the edge of the bed. โI knowโฆI heardโฆโ he sighed, and I shot him a look. โWell, words travel fast, and when it comes to gossip, you know how swiftly it spreads.โ Letting out an exasperate

ELEAโMama, are there going to be a lot of children?โ Liam asked as I buttoned his shirt and then helped him with his shoelace. โI have never been to a school before and the boys in my swimming classes told me that they have been to pre-school classes already.โ It was his first day at school.While I was only allowed during his meals and the night for his bedtime, Landon surprised me when he allowed me into Liamโs room to get him ready for the memorable day. As expected, Liam was nervous, despite the pep talk I had given him. It was understandable because, unlike other children, he had grown up alone and had only been homeschooled till now. โBaby, I have told you this before and I am telling you this once again: you do not need to fear anything,โ I told him, looking up to meet his eyes. โAnd yes, there will be a lot of children because thatโs what school is all about. And there will be teachers to help you through anything and everything, just like you have Jessica over here, helpi

ELEAI paced across the hospital corridor, restless and crying, when Landon appeared out of the Emergency Room. โWhat did the doctors say?โ I asked, jogging over to him. His face was clouded with a mix of stress and sadness as he gave a crisp nod, muttering, โHe will be fine.โ My son, my little boy, had collapsed after a few minutes we had dropped him in school for the first day, and that was all he had to say? That he was fine? My impatient morphed into some ugly temper as I seized the fabric of his shirt and jerked him. โI donโt want to hear if he would be fine. I want to know what is wrong with my little boy. He was fine, he was completely okay when he had his breakfast in the morning. How could he just collapse like that?โ Landon pursed his lips into a line, refusing to answer for a long moment before he shook his head. โMaybe he was nervous. I donโt know. Liam is quite introverted andโฆโ he looked away, trailing off. I pushed his chest with both my palms as the simmering r

ELEAIt had been two days since Liam was hospitalised, and even though he did wake up after a day, it was barely for a couple of minutes. His feeble vision recognised me and Landon only to have been forced back into his slumber.It broke my heart every time heโd wake up for a brief moment, barely able to speak words before falling back asleep. I could tell that my little boy was in great pain, and yet I could do anything about it. The helplessness crawled into my gut, wreaking havoc. โTry and be patient, Elea. The doctors are trying everything,โ Landon would say every time I demanded an explanation.The chemical that caused him this was yet to be traced. And it made me more miserable.My desire to eat, sleep or even a bath died until Iโd been assured that Liam was out of danger, but Landon was devious enough to force the morsels down my throat, as threatened, and after a while exhaustion claimed my body.

ELEAOn the fourth day, Liam woke up again. This time, he canted his head to the side and opened his bow lips to say something. So I leaned in, lovingly caressing his forehead. โBaby, are you right? Is there something you need?โ I asked and he nodded weakly. โMamaโฆwater,โ the voice was barely coherent but I quickly fetched a glass filled with cool liquid and gently poured it into my mouth.

Can you recall anything, baby?โ He shook his head. โNo. I feltโฆdizzy.โ Liam blinked, recalling the events for a long moment before looking at me. โI could not see for some time and thenโฆโ The rest of his words were devoured at the sight when the door

LANDONโJust listen to her once,โ Maximus suggested, even though I had half a mind to storm into her pack house and squeeze the life out of her. I was angry, livid actually, and Ravena had just crossed all bounds this time.โThis is a bad idea,โ I muttered. โI think your brother is right,โ Elea interjected, drawing our collective attention. She looked between us, gingerly advancing. โIf she knew, why didnโt she utter a word then? I mean, she swallowed her ego and apologised to me, she let herself get cornered even though she had an advantage. She could have used and gotten herself out of the problem, but she did not do that. Why?โ Maximus and I shared a look.She has a point. โShe has more leverage than she is revealing,โ I muttered, reading between the lines. โAll the more reason that you should see her,โ Maximus said. I nodded, reluctantly and severely trapped.And now here I was, standing in front of the polished door of the suite of the hotel. I raised a palm, pressing agains

ELEAI did not know what to think, or how to act or even move until someone actually, physically, moved me off the stage. It was Maximus. The only thing I had managed to say was that I wanted to see my son because Liam was the only centre I could focus on and Maximus nodded.In a couple of minutes, I was taken to Liamโs room. And as soon as the door swung open, his little form jumped up in surprise.โMama! You are here!โ He was overjoyed as he jumped up to hug me. โIt has been three days since you came to visit me.โ โI know, baby,โ I said with a long inhale, taking in his scent. โThere were someโฆproblems, but now the problems are solved. And I can spend as much time as you want with you.โ I pulled back, looking into my sonโs eyes. โBut first, I want to know how you are feeling.โ His face widened with glee. โMe?

Chasing His Rogue Lunaย ย ย Consequences
Third Person POVIt was a sight rarely seen in the Crimson Pack when the Alpha chooses to punish someone publicly, an event that has not taken place for years. Usually, the wolf is either banished, exiled or killed. But it seemed like Landon was partial to archaic methods his ancestors preferred to instil some sense of discipline and unity among the pack. Elea stood there putting up the strong face she could muster in the face of adversity and in the hope of seeing her son. Whatever little hope and fondness she had developed for Landon over the months were erased by his brutal demands and his ability to manipulate her so cruelly. Ravena, on the other hand, held her breath. She did not know what was happening, but she sensed some impending dangers long before the scene unfolded before her. It was too late to run away or feign illness, although she could still pull it off if needed. Landon was completely composed and in control. He turned to his pack, awaiting his declarations. โSinc

LANDONThe guard opened the door for me and I stepped into the room slowly. And immediately, the nauseous whiff of flowers hit my nose. Every corner I looked at was packed with bouquets and gifts as if it was a birthday party instead of a hospital room. โLandon, you came,โ chirped the cheerful voice. โI knew you would be coming to see me.โ โHow are you, Ravena?โ I asked, arranging for myself to sit on the couch across her bed. I had always preferred a healthy distance between us, given how clingy she was all the time. โThe doctors said that it was a nasty fall, but I was lucky,โ she fibbed, fluttering her lashes. I noticed that she was wearing mild makeup as well. โI guess the Moon Goddess truly blessed me to be beside you that I get to live another day by your side.

LANDONElea was sleeping, curled into herself on the cold, unforgiving concrete that had not seen sunlight for years. Beside her, the empty plate of food was abandoned. The cleaner has not yet arrived to collect. Maximus told me that he had issued directions to unbind her hands because Elea was too proud to eat off the plate. And I did not object, knowing she would at least eat something. Humiliating her or making her suffer was not my intention, but a show I had to put up with so that the pack would at least consider that I had been hard on her. I could not be seen or taken as a leader who was too weak, too smitten by a female even though I was affected by her in more ways than one, but it was a war within myself. Ravena and her asshole brother had already conjured a storm Iโd have to deal with, and if I did not act judiciously, it would cost me. There was so much at stake for me that I had barely slept for an even hour for the past few days, not to mention that little boy who was

MAXIMUSLandon and I were in his office, torn to bits about the latest incident of Ravena being pushed off down the staircase and hurting herself. But it was not just us, but her equally annoying brother who graced us with his presence, pacing across the Italian marble we paid for.โHow could you let this happen to my sister, Alpha Landon?โ He asked, theatrical and useless, and I failed to fathom why we were entertaining him in the first place. โNo need to be dramatic, Ryker,โ Landon said, leaning against his chair while his fingers mindlessly tapped on the rim of the glass filled with whiskey. I was on my fourth drink, while he still lingered with his first, and it showed how distraught my brother was from inside. And Rykerโs presence did not pacify it at all. โYour sister is well and recovered. The doctors said that though it was a great fall, she remained miraculously unhurt and they would discharge her in a day,โ I answered, finishing the fourth drink. โThat is not my point!โ
