Depth Rough: She Was The Unwanted Lunaย ย ย 79. Worry & Anxiety
Ethanโs P.O.VThis is insane! I never expected my job to turn into this nightmareโpiling up when I donโt even want it, while Lucy keeps pushing me to finish everything like some kind of tireless robot. Honestly, all I want is to get back and check if Claire is okay with the Warriors I assigned to protect her. The last update I got said they went to a cabin by Lake Teraraโthe same lake my parents used to love when they were still alive. What a crazy coincidence. I spent years keeping that place hidden from the world, and now Claire waltzes right in, disturbing the peace that has remained untouched for nearly twenty years. Even Lucyโno matter how much she begged, even if she dropped to her kneesโwas never allowed to step foot there. At first, I swore Iโd never let anyone in, no matter what. I wanted to keep it exactly as my parents left it. But when my Luna wants somethingโฆ I canโt bring myself to refuse. She keeps calling herself an "unwanted Luna," but she has no idea. I want

Ethanโs P.O.VThe moment I arrived at the cabin, my heart damn near stopped. Almost all of my men were sprawled out, lifeless. A few were still breathingโbarelyโbut it was clear they were hanging on by a thread. Ignoring the carnage outside, I bolted into the cabin, searching for Claire. I could still catch traces of her scent lingering in the air, but no matter how thoroughly I checkedโevery room, even the basementโshe was nowhere to be found. All that was left was an empty, slightly messed-up bed. But among all the scents in the air, one stood outโcompletely foreign. It wasnโt one of my warriors. It wasnโt anyone from my pack. No, this belonged to someone else. And I had a pretty good idea of exactly who that bastard was. This was beyond insane. I was supposed to be the one who could predict everything. Yet, the place I thought was the safest turned into a bloodbath for my people. โChristopher Gale,โ I growled, my fists clenching. โThat son of a bitch actually had the nerve

Ethanโs P.O.V"You know, I might never be able to trust Rogue Wolves." I told Andara Specta, my voice loud and clear enough for anyone within earshot to hear. Andara nodded. "I know our attacks in the past were wrong, but you also need to recognize your own mistakes. We canโt just keep pointing fingers when all of us have our fair share of faults." I scoffed, feeling my anger flare up. "Cut the small talk. Just tell me why the hell you're here!" I snapped. Seriously. If she were a man, the first thing Iโd do is land a punch right on her face. But she was luckyโjust an old woman who once served as an Elder for the Moon Fall Pack and the only person who treated Claire decently when those damn Rogue Wolves kidnapped her and took her to their settlement. "I donโt appreciate being rushed like this, Alpha," Andara said, her tone calm but firm. "But knowing your temper, we donโt have time to waste. This is about Lady Torrance." Lucy? What the hell does she have to do with this? Did

Claire P.O.VI caught my reflection in the car window. Damn, I looked roughโcompletely worn out and lifeless. Like I'd been up to no good all night and couldnโt shake the weight off my chest.On top of that, I never expected to walk so damn far from Lake Terara, straight into the forest without stopping, and then keep pushing forward until I was deep into the mountains. My legs were killing me. It felt like I was walking through hell just to escape."What are you staring at?"Christopher Gale had been sitting next to me from the moment we got in this car, leaving The Silber Fire Pack behindโEthanโs territory."Isn't this whole place just mountains? Nothing interesting about it," he added, his tone flat."Would The Moon Fall Pack even be considered a modern pack if it werenโt tucked away in the mountains like this?""Damn, youโve got a sharp tongue.""Iโd take the mountains over city life any day.""So, your dream is to live miles away from what you call โreal lifeโ?

Ethan's P.O.VI sat in my throne-like chair, glaring at the warriors I had gathered. I had asked most of them to leave their duties to discuss what our Pack was currently going through.The kidnapping of Claire Halle and the numerous deaths at the cabin by Lake Terara had caused some chaos within the Pack. They were all shaken, knowing that the warriors who were always loyal to me were extraordinary fighters with physical strength and strategic expertise. But suddenly, they were killed by a surprise attack from an unknown assailant in what should have been a very safe haven.Moreover, the whereabouts of Lucy Torrance are still a mystery; she is nowhere to be found. Even when I ordered my guards to search the entire meeting place we last used to meet with clients, Lucy had vanished. At the mansion, too, she was nowhere to be found, as if she had disappeared without a trace.While everyone was busy trying to locate Lucy Torrance, Chen Lien and his people were tracking where Claire had b

Ethan's P.O.VFollowing the orders and directions I gave, Octa and the former Elder of The Moon Fall Pack went to the route that should have been abandoned but was now being used as a route for infiltration and escape by those ungrateful people.Accompanied by Gilbert Luardโmy Gamma, they went with the trusted warriors and more wolf guards they could use for battle. Meanwhile, I went to meet Sir Torrance to execute them.I deliberately let my Gamma go with those two stubborn old ladies, even though I should have taken them to gain more strength. But I ignored all that and let myself work alone, with the strongest warriors I sent ahead to wreak havoc on the packhouse and kill anyone they saw, except for the children.Selective orders indeed. But from the beginning, I never intended to kill children, even though in the future, they might have a tendency to enter the cycle of karma called revenge. But I chose to let that be, regardless of whether they would seek revenge or not. The impor

Claireโs P.O.V The car we were riding in to reach The Moon Fall Pack made an unexpected stop at a motel. It was supposed to keep moving, no breaks, no detours. But Christopher Gale? He couldnโt care less. Instead, he went ahead and booked two roomsโone for him and one for me. โYouโve got four hours to sleep before we hit the road again,โ he said, pushing open the motel door so I could step inside and rest. I should be grateful, really. A guy claiming to be my uncle had at least given me a place to crash. But if Iโm being honest? He didnโt act like an uncle. Not even close. โIโll wake you up when the four hours are up. After that, we wonโt be stopping again until weโre home.โ โIโm only here because you made me come. So even if you hadnโt given me a room, Iโd still be wide awake all the way to this so-called โhomeโ of yours, Alpha Christopher,โ I shot back, my voice dripping with arrogance I probably shouldnโt have used. But weirdly enough, Christopher Gale just smiled at my

Claire's P.O.V This was one hell of a long journeyโway longer than I ever couldโve imagined. When Ethan took me from my old Pack to the Silver Fire Pack, he had us fly in a private jet, cutting the travel time short. But this bastard? He was dragging me through an endless nightmare. I had no clue where the hell this so-called Moon Fall Pack was, but he kept driving, twisting and turning like he was deliberately trying to confuse me. For the rest of the trip, I didnโt say a damn word to Christopher Gale. He did the sameโsilent, no small talk, nothing. Honestly, that was probably for the best. If we had talked, all I wouldโve gotten from him was a bunch of sarcastic bullshit. The car had been speeding down this pitch-black, deserted road for about two hours now. There wasnโt a single streetlight, not even the faintest glow outside the window. Just pure, suffocating darkness. It was like we had left civilization behind and were driving straight into some forsaken void. But then,

Ethanโs P.O.VThe night sky was pitch-black, heavy clouds looming overhead like a bad omen. Ethan stood at the edge of the forest, his sharp gaze scanning the terrain ahead. Beside him were his Warriorsโfearless men and women whoโd follow him to hell and back. They all knew tonight's mission was a gamble, but their loyalty to Ethan, their leader, outweighed the fear creeping up their spines.โWe hit โem head-on. No mercy,โ Ethan's voice rang out, solid as steel. The Warriors responded with synchronized nods, ready to roll.Up north, Malvic Stalon, Alpha of the Lycans, awaited the signal. In the dead silence, the towering Lycans stood in their full formsโliving, breathing war machines. Muscles rippled under thick hides; claws and razor-sharp fangs gleamed as the fractured moonlight kissed their lethal silhouettes.โThis is it. We crush the Moon Fall Pack!โ Malvicโs voice thundered, icy and deadly.No way were they giving Christopher Galeโs lackeys a free pass. Didnโt matter if those wo

Ethanโs P.O.VโYou canโt do that!โ I yelled, my voice loud enough to make him stop. โEven if youโve heard that I never wanted her as my Luna, sheโs still my Luna, no matter what.โโOh, youโre pretty greedy for someone so young.โ he said with his smirk.โWhat?!โโIโve been there too. Chasing my wild ambitions, building my empire over other races. I was strong, way smarter than you werewolves, but the more I realized I couldnโt do everything I wanted because of limits, the less I wanted it. Maybe you should start thinking the same.โโBut sheโs my Luna!โ I shouted to him.โAnd sheโs the next Alpha of this Pack.โ He shot back, his tone sharp, emotions barely held in check. โEven though youโre fated mates, thereโs no personal bond between you two. So, when this is over, you can go back to your life, and Iโll take responsibility for hers.โWhat the hell? Hearing him say all this infuriating stuff, I couldnโt even muster a single word in response. It felt like I was being crushed into useles

Ethan's P.O.VMalvic Stalonโthe Alpha of the Lycans from the North. This is seriously something else. How could the elders in this Pack pull off something like this? I mean, from the North to this Pack is a crazy long distance, at least two daysโ journey. And during all that time, the warriors and all the loyalists guarding Christopher Galeโs mansion didnโt catch wind of his arrival? Thatโs just nuts. No way thatโs possible.Even if the warriors were as oblivious as a brick wall, ignoring the presence of another species within the Pack is not something any of us would take lightly.And letโs be real, Werewolves and Lycans are like oil and waterโsilent enemies. Thereโs no official declaration of hatred between us, but Lycans and their โholier-than-thouโ attitude make us Werewolves sick. That arrogance fuels our endless animosityโa beef with no expiration date.Whatโs more, everyone pretty much knows about the Northern Lycansโ beef with Christopher Gale. Rumor has it the fake Alpha snat

Ethan's P.O.VAfter patching up some wounds and catching our breath for a bit, we took off, trailing Andara Spectra up a hill near the ridges surrounding The Moon Fall Pack. The old ladyโonce part of the Elders from that big Packโclaimed sheโd be performing a summoning there, saying an Elder resided in that area, only showing up at the Pack when Christopher Gale called for meetings. I probably shouldโve been more suspicious about this, but Andara Spectra wasnโt giving off any shady vibes. Even Chen Lien, who had a nose for deception, didnโt pick up on anything sketchy from the old woman. So, we figured we might as well follow her lead. The spot was a bit of a hike, tucked into the forest. But when we got there, we saw a small cabin, and from it, we had a clear view of Christopher Galeโs fancy-ass mansion. Iโd been there once beforeโback when we first struck this deal. The negotiations started off smooth, but the second I found out that the person I was supposed to capture in exchan

Claireโs P.O.VI couldnโt freaking believe what was right in front of me. It was Sister Alberta and the orphanage kidsโthe only family I ever knew, the people I thought were dead. But they werenโt. They were alive, trapped behind metal bars in some dark, cold room inside the ridiculously lavish mansion of Christopher Gale. That fake-ass Alpha. I had spent years believing he had slaughtered my family, only to find out the bastard had been keeping them hidden, away from me. Why? Just to break me. Just to see me drown in despair. My eyes locked onto Sister Alberta, her frail figure seated in a wheelchair, being pushed closer by Sister Annabella so our hands could touch through the bars. I couldnโt hold back my tears anymore. The kids were wailing, their cries echoing in the room, filled with fear, hopelessness, and a longing that cut deep into my soul. Her wrinkled hand reached out to me, trembling, desperate. I tried to do the same, but before I could, Christopher Gale yanked my w

Following Chen Lien's directions, I quickly asked my warriors to prep the plane. We're flying over to The Moon Fall Pack to pick up Claire.Therefore, I decided to head back to my Pack, personally imprison Lucy, and request the Elders to immediately integrate Sir Torrance's Pack into The Silver Fire Pack. I didnโt want to waste time and effort doing it another day.Upon arriving at my Pack, I was greeted by Andara Spectra, the former Elder of The Moon Fall Pack.Andara informed me that neither she nor Octa found anything on the escape route that Lucy Torrance created to facilitate Christopher Gale's plans. She even requested some guards to plant explosives on that route to destroy it, ensuring no one could use it in the future.Honestly, I liked that decision because, aside from having Octa with her, I also noticed that Andara's skills as an Elder were still top-notch. Her intuition remained sharp, and she was still wise. It showed when she made the Rogue Wolves in that forest much mo

Claireโs P.O.VRight in front of me stood a massive, jaw-dropping mansion. Almost the entire exterior was made of marble, making it look ridiculously solid, like, no way could even a thousand of the strongest wolf fangs take this thing down. Iโd only ever seen a packhouse twice in my life, one of them being Ethanโs. And yeah, that one was impressive, but this? This mansion blew Ethanโs out of the water. Way more majestic, sturdierโฆ or maybe just eerily quieter. โWhy are you just standing there? Go on, step inside. After all, this mansion was yours to begin with.โ Christopher Gale spoke like he was offering some grand, heartfelt welcome, like I was supposed to be grateful or something. Wait, what did he just say? Mine to begin with? Had I actually lived in a place like this before I became an orphan and was raised by the nuns at the convent? Why did his words sound so sweet and yet cut so deep at the same time? Is this just how he is? Showering his soon-to-be victims with compliment

Ethanโs P.O.VBlood pooled on the ground, mixing with the ash and dust of the ruins. The night air reeked of burning flesh, agonized screams, and the final gasps of those foolish enough to resist. A pack that once stood proud under Alpha Torranceโs rule. Now reduced to rubble and corpses. If only the civilians had just stayed put and watched, maybe they wouldnโt have died such meaningless deaths. Wasnโt that exactly what I ordered after letting my warriors unleash absolute carnage on this pack? Pathetic. A damn shame to witness, but even more frustrating to remember. Because no matter how much I hate to admit it, this pack had once meant something to meโto all of us. But their heirโLucy Torrance, decided to play traitor. And that? That, I could never let slide. I stood amidst the chaos, my breath ragged, heart still pounding with adrenaline coursing through my veins. My hands were coated in blood some of it belonged to my enemies, some to those stupid enough to stand in my way to
