Luna’s Second Chance

I walked back to meet Phoebe, but I still couldn't shake off the strange feeling of the man. One second he was there and the next he vanished“Phoebe,” I said, forcing a smile. “I think I’m just tired. I might head out soon.” “But... you just got here!” she protested, but I shook my head.“I know, but I'm not really feeling well.” I lied. I just didn't want to stay around, the only reason I even stayed this long was because of the stranger.“Okay, but can I atleast walk you halfway? It's very dangerous to walk alone by this time.” “I'll take a taxi. Text you later,” I said, already backing away.As I stepped outside into the cool night air, a little bit relief washed over me.But even as I walked away, I couldn’t shake the feeling of that piercing stare frpm earlier. But the mystery man was gone and that's all that matters.I waited for any car or taxi outside.But it was already late and there were no empty vehicles avaliable at that moment.My house was just about fifteen minutes aw

~Luca~Luca Akrim—the infamous billionaire CEO. Mysterious, powerful, and untouchable. No one knew the true source of his wealth, but everyone knew he was filthy rich.Because he wasn’t human.He was the Alpha of his werewolf kingdom, heir to riches beyond human comprehension.I stormed into my mansion, rage burning in my veins.“Where have you been?” a stern voice cut through the air.I turned slowly to find my stepmother, Visha Arkand, standing in the corner. A newspaper was folded in her hands, her expression unreadable.“Nowhere important. I just came to grab my keys,” I said casually, turning to leave. “I have to head out again—”“Don’t tell me these murders have anything to do with you, son.” I froze for a moment, lowering my head slightly. My jaw clenched. “I had to...” I muttered.“Christ!” Visha’s voice rose in anger as she flung the newspaper at me. “You can’t just go around killing humans because they piss you off, Luca! What will your people think when they find out their

Chapter 6Get Married?!~Aria~“She was never yours.”And then he struck again.In one swift movement, he caught the man’s wrist mid-attack and twisted. A sickening crack echoed through the warehouse.My captor roared in pain, stumbling backward, clutching his broken arm. But Luca wasn’t done. He moved with precision, with purpose—like every motion had already been planned in his mind before his body even executed it.He slammed his knee into the man’s ribs, sending him skidding across the floor. For a moment, silence stretched between them.Then, something shifted.My captor’s breathing changed—deeper, rougher.Then his body began to change.A sharp gasp caught in my throat as I watched bones stretch, muscles shift, dark fur rippling over his skin.His fingers curled into claws. His eyes glowed like embers. His teeth—fangs—gleamed under the flickering warehouse lights.I pressed my hand to my mouth, horrified. What was I looking at?I wanted to believe my mind was playing tricks on m

~Luca~I stiffened. I’d grown up hearing those words. I had bled to prove I was worthy to lead this pack. They respected me because I was strong—because I upheld the traditions my father died protecting.But Aria... She wasn't supposed to be my mate. But I felt something in the moment our bond snapped into place. Refusing her wasn’t an option. Not without tearing apart something inside me.And yet, I knew exactly what this would mean.“They’ll see this as weakness,” Visha’s voice softened, but there was steel underneath. “The Elders. The warriors. The pack. They will question you. And when an Alpha is questioned, there’s only one way it ends.”A challenge. A fight. Bloodshed.I had killed before. I would kill again. But this was different. This was my leadership—my life—on the line. All because I dared to choose my mate. A human mate.I gritted my teeth. “I’ll handle it.”Visha stepped closer, her voice low. “Your father would never have allowed this.”I flinched—just slightly—but she

~Aria~So I waved away Mom and then I turned, took Luca’s hand, and stepped into the car. The door closed with a soft thud, cutting off the music and voices behind us.The drive started, and the world outside blurred.Now i was with a beast. A beast I've committed the rest of my life with.The drive felt longer than it was.I was too aware of the silence sitting between me and Luca, the low hum of the car engine the only thing filling the space. Every time I glanced out the window, the forest seemed to press in tighter, the trees growing taller, their shadows darker.I knew we were getting close.“Don't try what you did at the wedding ever again.” Luca’s cold voice broke the silence.“Excuse me?” I asked, a little confused.“You almost made a fool of me! Don't you dare try that ever again.” He raised his voice, his tone harsh.My heart skipped a beat, the fear gripped me.“... Fine.” I answered softly.“I'm sorry for the tone.” Luca sighed, his tone now more friendly.Did he just apol
