Luna Rebirth: Back Before Engagement

Last night, I dreamt about Adrian again. They say, 'unrequited love does not die; it's only beaten down to a secret place where it hides, curled and wounded.' I guess it was true in my case because the love I felt for Adrian was starting to turn bitter and cold. Adrian Dalton was the youngest son of the Blood Crown Pack and my longtime crush. I'd been pining over him since I was a little girl, but he didn't even breathe in my direction. No, I am being unfair. He did pay attention to me but not the way I wanted. He treated me maybe closer than some others, but it is just like I was his sister. I stood up and walked to the full-length mirror, resting against the wall, so I could take a good look at myself. My hair was long and dark, just like raven feathers. My face was round, with a pair of big brown eyes and full lips. Freckles faintly dotted my cheeks and nose, but they were barely visible. I'd seen other men in my pack and other packs glance at me many times and make feeble attem

Two years later... "Will you be home for dinner?" I grabbed Adrian's sleeve before he ran out of the house again. "Ah...I'm sorry, Lindsey, but I have to work late again," he said and tugged at his arm, motioning me to let go. Again? We've been married for two years now, and Adrian was now the new Alpha as his father passed away a month after our wedding. As the new Alpha, Adrian was constantly out and about, coming home late, and sometimes, he didn't come home at all. I didn't like to question him too much. I didn't dare as I watched him work hard to gain his pack's respect day after day. He had to work extra hard since everyone secretly hoped Alvis would take over. I knew it made Adrian feel insecure that he had to leave under his older brother's shadow. But I knew I couldn't stay quiet anymore when one day, I smelled another woman's perfume on his clothes. He came home drunk one day and didn't bother to change his clothes before jumping in bed. I sighed, helped him take

I felt like I was floating in darkness. Am I dead? I thought to myself as I tried to move my fingers. "Lindsey, are you awake?" I heard someone calling me, so I opened my eyes. I closed them immediately as the bright fluorescent light assaulted my eyes. I felt someone touching my forehead, brushing away some strands of hair. Their fingers felt warm and comforting, and it made me sleepy again. "Come back to me, Lindsey," a deep voice spoke, so I snapped my eyes open again. I squinted to take a good look at the figure looming over my face. It was a man. "Adrian?" I whispered, but my vision was already starting to clear. "Oh, it's you," I whispered. Alvis smiled. "Don't look so disappointed." "Where am I?" I tried to get up but groaned as I felt pain in my stomach. "Don't get up. You need to rest," Alvis scolded me. Wait, why was he here? I suddenly remembered bits and pieces of what happened last night, and my heart plunged to my throat. My hands moved on their own as they tou

Alvis POV Ever since I could discern my feelings, I knew that Lindsey was different for me, the Alpha's daughter from the Blue Moon Pack. Unfortunately, I was a bit older than her, so I never got to play with her. Lindsey never looked at me as a companion, and sometimes I felt like she was afraid of me, so I stayed out of her way. Not once did I take her as a sister. Growing up, I always thought she was cute with her raven black hair, red lips, and tiny freckles on her cheeks like pieces of sunshine. And then, when she grew up, she blossomed into someone even more exquisite. Lindsey was radiant and heartbreakingly beautiful. I was attracted to her innocence and charm. I watched her secretly, just so I could get a glimpse of her smile. So when I found out she was to be married to my brother, Adrian, I was devastated. But I knew Lindsey loved Adrian for the longest time. I watched her from a distance and saw how happy she was when she found out Adrian wanted to marry her. My hear

Alvis, what did he want from me? I remembered him running toward me right before I died in my last life. I didn't have the time to speak to him then. He had screamed my name. He sounded angry as if seeing me die upset him greatly. But I wasn't sure if I could trust him yet. He was my enemy's brother, after all.But then again, the last time I checked, Alvis had his own separate pack, so he may not have been part of Adrian's schemes. All these questions circulated in my mind, but I knew I had to be patient. Now that I was given a chance to start over, I had more time to figure things out. Sue handed me the phone. I took a deep breath before answering as I felt butterflies in my stomach. Alvis never called me. We hardly ever talked, so I wasn't sure why he wanted to speak to me now. "Linsey?" he asked in a low and husky voice, making my heart skip a beat. "H...hi Alvis," I said. I hoped he wouldn't notice how nervous I was. "Are you okay?" he asked. Huh? Why was he asking me tha
