|| Lilac’s POV ||

The moment I stepped into Elara’s apartment, the weight of their stares hit me like a tidal wave. Elara, Madeline, Astrid, and Alexander— all four of them were there, their expressions a mix of worry, curiosity, and something else I couldn’t quite place. It was three in the morning, and the air was thick with tension.

“Goddess, look at you,” Elara said, her voice a mix of concern and exasperation as she took in my disheveled appearance.

I leaned against the door, my legs trembling beneath me.

“I know it’s wrong, okay? I know I shouldn’t have. But I can’t. I can’t stay away from him. Being with Alaric doesn’t feel wrong,” I said, my voice breaking as the words spilled out.

Elara didn’t hesitate. She crossed the room in two strides and pulled me into a tight hug. I clung to her, my fingers digging into her shoulders as I tried to steady myself.

“I think you should sit down first. We need to tell you something,” Astrid said, her tone unus

  • His Abandoned Luna   179. Edge of Trust-I

    || Lilac's POV || The next few days passed in a blur, each one blending into the next like watercolors on a canvas. Elara and I spent hours hunched over dusty old books, our fingers tracing faded ink as we searched for clues about the Nightshades. The library was quiet, the air thick with the scent of aged paper and the weight of unanswered questions. We found little— just fragments of their customs, rituals, and vague mentions of their power. Nothing concrete, nothing that could explain why Elias seemed so... off. “This is useless,” I muttered, slamming a book shut and leaning back in my chair. My head was pounding, my eyes strained from hours of reading. “There’s nothing here.” Elara glanced up from her own stack of books, her expression sympathetic. “We’ll find something, Lilac. We just have to keep looking.” “What if there’s nothing to find?” I asked, my voice tinged with frustration. “What if Elias is exactly what he seems—a good man who just happens to be m

  • His Abandoned Luna   178. Facade of Affection-II

    || Lilac’s POV ||He pulled up to a house on the outskirts of the city, the property surrounded by lush greenery and bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. The house itself was beautiful, a modern structure with large windows and a welcoming porch. “What do you think?” Elias asked, his voice filled with pride. “It’s… amazing,” I said, my tone filled with genuine awe. “I bought it recently,” he replied, his smile widening. “I thought… this could be where we start our family.” His words sent a jolt through me, but I kept my expression surprised, my smile warm. “For me?” “Yes,” he said, his voice soft but filled with determination. “I told you I wanted to give you the best.” “But how did you get the money?” I asked, my voice tinged with worry. “Are you worried about me?” he chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “Of course I am. You’re my mate,” I replied, my tone gentle but firm. “I had some savings,” he said, his smile

  • His Abandoned Luna   177. Facade of Affection-I

    || Lilac’s POV || The moment Elias left, I felt a wave of unease wash over me. His invitation for a drive wasn’t just a casual suggestion—it felt calculated, like a move in a game I didn’t fully understand. I needed to talk to someone, to get my thoughts in order. So, I called Elara. “Hey,” I said as soon as she picked up, my voice low and urgent. “Elias just asked me out for a drive.” There was a pause on the other end, and then Elara’s voice came through, sharp and alert. “What did you say?” “I said yes,” I replied, my tone tinged with frustration. “I didn’t have a choice. If I said no, it would’ve raised his suspicions.” Elara sighed, her voice thoughtful. “Okay, okay. This could actually work in our favor.” “How?” I asked, my brow furrowing. “Cozy up to him,” Elara said, her tone firm. “Play along. If he thinks you’re warming up to him, he might let something slip. We need to know his motives, Lilac. This could be our chance.” I hesitated,

  • His Abandoned Luna   176. The Ceremony

    || Lilac’s POV || “Thanks for the ride, Elara,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “Anytime,” she replied, her tone gentle. “Call me if you need anything.” I nodded, stepping out of the car and into the cool morning air. The walk to the door felt longer than usual, each step heavier than the last. Dad’s eyes followed me, his gaze piercing as I approached. “Lilac,” he said, his voice firm but not unkind. “We need to talk.” “Okay,” I replied, my voice steady despite the knot of anxiety tightening in my chest. He led me inside, the familiar scent of home wrapping around me like a blanket. The house was quiet, the kind of quiet that felt heavy with unspoken words. We settled in the study, the room filled with the scent of old books and polished wood. My father sat behind his desk, his hands clasped in front of him, while I took a seat across from him, my hands trembling in my lap. “Ezra’s eighteenth birthday is here,” he began, his tone serious.

  • His Abandoned Luna   175. Shadows of Doubt

    || Lilac’s POV || I woke up to the warm caress of sunlight on my face, the golden beams filtering through the curtains and painting the room in soft hues. For a moment, I lay still, my mind groggy and disoriented. The events of the previous night came rushing back— Madeline’s revelation, the unsettling truth about Elias, and the weight of the decisions I had to make. But for now, in the quiet of Elara’s apartment, I felt a rare sense of calm. “Good morning, sleepyhead,” Elara’s voice broke through the silence, her tone light but carrying an undercurrent of concern. “Morning,” I mumbled, sitting up and rubbing the sleep from my eyes. The couch was comfortable, but my body ached from the awkward position I’d slept in. “Where are the rest?” I asked, glancing around the room. “Well, they left after you dozed off,” Elara said, sitting down beside me. She handed me a steaming mug of coffee, the rich aroma immediately waking me up. “Oh,” I said, taking a sip o

  • His Abandoned Luna   174. Deception-II

    || Lilac’s POV || “Maybe I can help you,” Madeline said, her voice breaking through my thoughts. She exchanged a glance with Alexander. Astrid continued, “the Moonvale pack has a myth. Some werewolves— she-wolves— can read and share memories after finding their soulmates. I’d always heard of it growing up, but I never met anyone who could actually do it. The pack members thought it was just a myth… until Madeline found her soulmate.” “You mean to say you could read my mind?” I asked, my voice tinged with disbelief. “Not really, just your memories. My wolf could sense everything your wolf did, and maybe we can find out why the bond is… weird between you two,” Madeline explained. “Give it a try,” Elara whispered, her voice filled with encouragement. “Yeah, she might find something that you haven’t realized yet,” Astrid added. “Okay,” I said, my voice trembling. Madeline sat beside me, her hands reaching for mine. “I want you to imagine that
