Luciano De Luca’s POV

The moment Doctor B slumped forward, I knew.

She was fainting.

I crossed the space between us before my mind fully caught up, reaching out just in time to keep her from hitting the table or collapsing onto the floor. Her body went limp in my arms, light yet alarmingly fragile, and as I held her, the thought struck me again—harder than before.

She reminded me of Chiara.

Too much.

The curve of her face. The way her head tilted when unconscious. Even the weight of her

  • Ex Luna's Revenge    Chapter 104

    Chiara’s POV At work that morning, Caterina, Piera, and I gathered in the small office, the scent of strong espresso curling through the air as we leaned against desks and chairs, trying to pretend it was just another normal day. At my insistence, Caterina had not brought the newspaper with my face splashed across it. I had thought that would spare me the embarrassment. Unfortunately, Piera had already beaten her to it. She held the paper like it was something precious, her fingers smoothing the edges as though she truly intended to frame it and hang it behind her desk like a prized possession. “You know my identity is supposed to remain a secret,” I reminded her quietly once we were alone. My gaze lingered on the bold headline before I forced myself to look away. “If you hang that up, people will start asking questions.” Piera lifted her chin, completely unapologetic. “I’m allowed to admire the former Luna of the pack,” she said, as if that alone justified everything. Caterina

  • Ex Luna's Revenge    Chapter 103

    Chiara’s POV “Adoption?!” The word came out sharper than I intended, laced with pure disbelief. My fingers tightened around my bag as I stared at the reporter, my thoughts scrambling to catch up with the absurdity of his question. “Uh
 no. No, that’s not why I’m here,” I said, my voice stumbling over itself despite my effort to stay composed. This was never meant to turn into anything public. I had only come to give back to the orphanage that had once taken me in, that had fed me, clothed me, and kept me alive when grief had hollowed me out after my parents died. “What other reason could you have for being here?” he asked, his tone lacking even the smallest trace of respect. “I don’t know,” I replied just as bluntly, my patience snapping without warning. If he could not offer basic decency, then I had no reason to offer it in return. I raised my hand and flagged down a taxi, eager to escape the conversation before it twisted further. “If you’ll excuse me.” I should have known

  • Ex Luna's Revenge    Chapter 102

    Luciano De Luca’s POV Most of the elders stood frozen at my outburst, clearly taken aback by the sharpness in my tone. The first to recover was the eldest among them, his expression hardening as his gaze locked onto mine. “You will not speak to us in that manner, Alpha King or not,” he said, his voice cold and measured. I barely heard the warning beneath his words. My anger was still too fresh, too raw, burning through whatever patience I had left. “You will stop speaking about my mate that way,” I snapped, the words leaving me before I could restrain them. “Your ex-mate,” the elder corrected firmly. The word struck harder than I expected. A flicker of embarrassment surfaced, but it did nothing to dampen the fury coiling inside me. If anything, it made it worse. Even now, even after everything, Chiara deserved better than the way they spoke about her. She had always deserved better. If only I had realized that sooner. If only I had protected her from their judgment,

  • Ex Luna's Revenge    Chapter 101

    Chiara’s POV With my plans finally set, I moved through each day with a quiet, steady sense of purpose. There was something grounding about having a future to walk toward, something that kept me from drifting back into the shadows of everything I had lost. I was no longer trapped in the past, no longer waking each morning feeling like I had nothing but memories to cling to. At least, that was true most of the time. There were moments, unwelcome and persistent, when Luciano De Luca slipped back into my thoughts. When he did, it wasn’t gentle or fleeting. It was overwhelming, consuming every part of me until I could barely focus on anything else. His voice, his presence, the way loving him had once felt so natural, all of it came rushing back like a tide I couldn’t hold back. The regret had begun to fade, replaced by a quiet acceptance. I had done the best I could with what I knew then. I could stand by my choices, even if they had led me here. But the pain was different. It linger

  • Ex Luna's Revenge    Chapter 100

    Luciano De Luca’s POV I braced myself for the rejection I already knew was coming. Doctor B had even less reason to remain in the Nightfall pack than Chiara ever did, yet the thought of losing them both felt like a punishment I could not escape. Doctor B and I had never been truly close. There were only brief moments where something almost resembling friendship had surfaced, and even those moments had often been shaped by how much she reminded me of Chiara. Even now, as she studied the map spread across her desk, I could see it clearly. The same quiet focus. The same careful way of thinking things through. In my mind, I could picture Chiara doing exactly this, weighing each option, measuring every risk and reward before deciding where to rebuild her life. The thought twisted something bitter inside me as I wondered if Giacomo would be part of that decision. If they were truly in love, then of course they would choose a future together. “No,” Doctor B said, pulling me back to the

  • Ex Luna's Revenge    Chapter 99

    Chiara’s POV The image of Silvia Romano with her arms wrapped tightly around Luciano De Luca lingered in my mind long after the divorce ceremony had ended, refusing to fade no matter how much I wished it would. It felt like the final fracture of something already broken, the last quiet confirmation that whatever had once existed between us was truly over. My wolf sank into mourning again, heavy and silent inside me, yet beneath that grief, something stronger began to take root. A quiet, stubborn determination pushed through the pain, reminding me that walking away had not been weakness, but necessity. Seeing them together forced me to accept a truth I had resisted for far too long. Luciano had always been bound to Silvia in ways he had never been to me, tied by obligation, guilt, and something deeper I could never quite reach. Letting him go had not been easy, and it still felt like I was dragging chains made of regret and heartbreak wherever I went, but I knew now that I had done

  • Ex Luna's Revenge    Chapter 52

    Luciano De Luca’s POV An ice-cold feeling started within me, where my heart was, and stretched outward along my limbs to the very tips of my fingers and the base of my toes. Chiara and Matteo used to date. Sick to my stomach, I couldn’t stand the sight of the picture anymore. I tucked it away i

    Chiara's POV At the hospital, with my mask firmly in place again, I walked with Francesco down to the first floor to see him off. We talked for a few hours after our conversation about Luciano De Luca, speaking about memories of the past as well as some of our more recent medical achievements. No

    Silvia Romano’s POV “Because of Doctor B’s abilities and her resolve to never give up, Cesare was able to decide for himself whether he wanted the life-extending medicine or not,” Luciano De Luca said on the television. “Because of this, she has saved us all from making a grave error.” This wasn

    Chiara’s POV Once again, I found myself caught off guard by the kind of man Luciano De Luca truly was. Not for the first time, he had stepped forward to shield Doctor B from ruin. He had spoken with unwavering confidence, placed his authority on the line, and silenced a restless crowd with nothin
