Valerie

It was a clear statement, refuting no questions behind it yet my heart was still pounding in my chest.

‘Why?’

He had indirectly been the reason for my death in the last life and even though I kept my distance at first, I never faulted him for it. We didn't know each other then past the normal gossip around the pack. The circumstances in that life had led to an escalation of that unresolvable conflict. It was excusable, a sad tragedy of events that had never taken place in this life.

But THIS. This wasn't excusable. It was malicious. In doing so he had harmed me.

‘He had almost harmed my baby,’ I thought with chilling horror.

And for the friendship we'd bore, hell even as acquaintances who had worked together for months I trusted him. Even if not with everything , but as a friend of sorts? I had come here to his pack because of that trust.

And now...

The bitter twinge of betrayal hit me. Facing him now, the silence was enough of an answer.

All this time I had thought it was

    Valerie“Mmm.”I vaguely heard myself as I regained my consciousness. My eyelids felt like lead as I slowly opened my eyes, taking in surroundings. My brain felt foggy, like a thick haze had settled over my thoughts. What was happening? Where was I?I struggled to piece together my memories, but they seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog of lethargy. “You're awake.”A voice called out to me, piercing through the haze. It was…so familiar…And like a reflex, I forced myself to reality. Blinking frantically to clear my vision, I saw him.ALISTAIR.He was sitting at my bedside, a small smile on his face that one could even call gentle.My belly roiled in repulsion. I didn't even know when I'd instinctively backed away until I was out of his reach.His face fell, his hand touching thin air. Confusion sprung up in my foggy mind. Why was my body reacting so badly?It was only a few seconds after that it sank in. The aphrodisiac, his confession and after…The memories became clear and The c

  • Loving the Reborn Luna: Never Letting Go    Chapter 57: Home

    Valerie It took me a while to see it.Days passed at a faster speed. Like I had done before going to the pack, I attended Alistair's meetings to the pack, still working as an advisor of sorts. I roamed the pack, offering to help in different things. In-between those moments however, I was constantly lost in thought, buried in the solitude of the room I was given. At night I curled up with the weight of the thoughts weighing me.The Shadow Moon pack was welcoming. Alistair had made accommodations to the point that I didn't have to lift a finger if I didn't want to, ensuring food was delivered at my door. I felt like I was drowning inside.Nothing was the same. This pack, the people, the feeling.It wasn't about heading to the city or going to meet Mina there. Even if I did, something in my instincts told me that the feeling would be lessened, but not gone.At most nights, anger roiled through me aimed at myself. I had made the decision to leave and for the first time it didn't feel g

  • Loving the Reborn Luna: Never Letting Go    Chapter 56: Help

    Valerie“I’ll have to admit, I didn't expect to see you back so soon.” Alistair's voice rang through the moment I stepped out of the car.“If I knew you were coming I would have given an entourage.”‘No need ‘ I thought silently to myself. Up until the last minute I didn't even know that I was going to come here. But there was no need to say any of that now. Facing Alistair after a long time, not much had changed. His hair still long and blonde was braided back, keeping it from brushing his shoulders, making his face pop out. In a strange sense, he looked slightly more hardened compared to the last time I'd seen him more than a month ago, but that was about it.“Greetings. Long time no see Alpha Alistair. You haven't changed a bit.” I greeted.“You look better as well.” He nodded,” The Eclipse pack indeed did you some good.”Guilt flooded me in an instant at the reminder. It had been just over a week since that talk and my outburst at him. I stopped, watching him move forward before

  • Loving the Reborn Luna: Never Letting Go    Chapter 55: Leave

    Valerie It was like a shotgun had sprung up in the air, leaving me dumbfounded. The words cut deep, and I felt my heart shatter further.‘Leave?’The words circled in my head like a broken record. I didn't want to believe it, but I couldn't, not when it was said so clearly in the quiet He was telling me to LEAVE. I felt my chest crumble, caving into a hollow cavern that I couldn't hold on to.“You can forget about our mate bond.” He said, “Reject it again if you want to. Don't feel obligated to stay here. You're already completely healed anyways. If you want to leave the pack, then maybe you should. I won't stop you.” His last words hit me. If that's what I Wanted? He thought that was what I still wanted. To leave HIM. Desperation filled me. I shook my head frantically.“That's not what I want anymore, Tristan,” I tried to explain, reaching out to him. What felt like a natural progression weeks ago felt impossible now. I loved him. Yes, I'd made mistakes and kept this from him

  • Loving the Reborn Luna: Never Letting Go    Chapter 54: Scared

    ValerieWasn't it funny how one single moment could alter everything? Suddenly, every other worry felt like grains of sand against an hourglass, too small and paltry to be bothered with.I had felt that several times already. Once, shortly after I was reborn and decided to leave. The other, when Tristan bled out unconscious, making me abandon all my boundaries and the third, when he told me he loved me.Of all of them, this was the most painful one.I stood frozen, my eyes locked on Tristan's face. The panic inside me rose like a tidal wave.The weight of my deception hung heavy in the air, suffocating me. He knew now, and he'd found out in the worst way.The silence was oppressive, thick with tension. I felt like I was drowning in it, unable to breathe. Tristan remained still, as though frozen in time.Then, finally, he spoke. “Is it true?” His voice low and stony against the stillness made my heart shake and sent shivers down my spine. “Is what I heard earlier about our child …i

    ValerieThe sun hadn't fully risen when I'd reached the pack clinic. There was barely anyone present in the early hours of the morning with very few nurses working their shift. Immediately I entered the familiar room, I met the Pack doctor.If he noticed the tension wrapped around my shoulders, he didn't say, merely giving a small bow.“Miss Valerie,” the older man greeted. The night before he had sent the text, asking me to meet him the next morning. He had never contacted me so abruptly, far from the normal routine set in place. But that was the least of my worries when I saw the content of the text.It was a simple text, requesting that he needed to check up on the traces of the drug in my system.And also, he added in the text, on the baby. THAT was the part that had me the most nervous.The test in itself was repetitive. I'd already gotten used to it through time- a simple blood draw and a basic checkup whilst waiting for the test to run. I went through the motions mindlessly, a

  • Loving the Reborn Luna: Never Letting Go    Chapter 52: Guilt

    ValerieAs soon as I reached my room I slammed the door shut, trying to not break down. My breaths came out shaky. I didn't know how I was able to keep myself composed for the rest of the day, but as we reached the pack house I was already nearing the brink. Guilt. Pure guilt gnawed at my conscience.‘No more secrets or things from the past.’ The weight of my secret bore down on me like a physical force, making it hard to breathe.I had agreed so damn easily when I knew it wasn't true. I'd made a promise I'd already broken.Because our child was still here, tying us together but I hadn't said a damn thing in the last two weeks.Since the confession it constantly came to mind. Every single day felt like a dream. I spent time with him and helped with his duties. We were working towards healing, towards a future together. Everything felt like this was how it was supposed to be.I'd never been happier, and it was especially in those streaks of pure joy that the thought came to mind th

  • Loving the Reborn Luna: Never Letting Go    Chapter 51: Promise

    TristanI could feel her eyes penetrating me without looking at her. I knew what she was thinking even without her emotions seeping through the bond.Shock. Confusion. I kept my face completely neutral, grasping into her hands more firmly and offering a tight squeeze.‘Trust me,’ I tried to convey through the simple gesture, hoping it seeped in through the bond. She didn't say a word or return the gesture, but she didn't pull away either. Her silent assent was clear.A knot formed in my throat as I grazed my eyes over the headstone. For years on end, I'd constantly visited their graves throughout every anniversary, whether it was their birthdays, their death and on my birthdays. All four occasions were still months incoming. This was the first time within the year that I'd had visited them and it felt like a far cry from the last time. I wasn't the man I was a year ago or even months ago. I was different now.An amalgamation of the past mistakes and present decisions. I was blind ba
