My gaze remained fixed on the ring in the open black velvet box in his hand. My heart was beating too fast. His voice echoed in my head.

Alpha Aric proposed to me?

I knew I shouldn't be too surprised. His attitude had been clear all along. All his actions, his gaze, the way he called my name—everything pointed to this. But I still denied it. I thought he was just being polite. I thought he just wanted to help me as an ally. I thought his nature was simply friendly toward colleagues.

“Alpha Aric...” My voice was barely audible.

His eyes looked at me softly, full of hope. But I couldn’t return that gaze.

“I...” My voice trailed off. My tongue was tied. My head was filled with noise. “I don’t know what to say.”

He remained kneeling. No anger, no pressure. Only calmness and patience radiated from him.

“If you’re not ready to answer now, that’s okay,” he said softly. His voice held no disappointment. There was no pressure. Only such genuine kindness, as if he had prepared himself f

  • Monster Luna Writes Her Own Destiny   Chapter 22 Tension

    Author POV“I have to show myself now.”Lyara’s footsteps emerged from the shadows of the trees without hesitation. Not wanting to add to the list of secrets that had been accidentally revealed, such as what had happened between her and Alpha Aric, she immediately showed herself before the atmosphere became awkward. The air around her trembled slightly with the tension hanging between Rowan and the man in the dark uniform. “Who’s there?” an intimidating voice followed the sound of my footsteps. “Rowan,” Lyara called softly, her voice clear enough to make both men turn simultaneously.“Lyara?” Rowan looked at her for a moment, his expression softening as he recognized who had arrived.Without needing an explanation, he raised his hand and gave a small gesture. The man in uniform immediately bowed respectfully and walked away with measured steps. Not a single word was spoken, but the implication was clear—an order had been given.“I’m sorry,” Lyara said, bowing her head. “I didn’t m

    His hand gripped my wrist so tightly that I instinctively jerked away. The touch felt like a thorn piercing back into the past—all the wounds I had buried, reopening. “Let go,” I growled, roughly pushing my body backward. My voice was sharp, my gaze no less piercing. My chest and shoulders tensed, ready to attack him if he came any closer. Kaelen looked surprised, as if he hadn’t expected me to react so fiercely. His brow furrowed, his breath quickened, but he remained standing tall. “Lyara, I was just—” “Miss Moonveil,” I corrected his habit of addressing me so familiarly. My eyes blazed with anger. “I made it clear before, in front of you, and in front of the late Alpha Gareth. I am not your intended mate. So don’t touch me as if you still have any claim over me.” He clenched his jaw. His face hardened. “I have a claim. The elders chose you for me.” “And I refused. Long ago,” I replied firmly. My voice was low but firm. “Did you forget? I withdrew. And your silence at

  • Monster Luna Writes Her Own Destiny   Chapter 19 News of Death

    Father's desk was covered with files, and we had been sitting side by side behind it since morning. The atmosphere was intimate, yet serious. I reviewed a report with furrowed brows, while my father underlined several notes on another sheet. Amidst the piles of papers, the world seemed to fade away. Only the sound of pen scratches and our soft breathing could be heard."Twenty-five warriors have been deployed to the western region, but I feel their distribution is too dense," Father muttered, turning slightly toward me.I looked up from my documents. "The western region was indeed a hotspot. But the intensity of the threat has decreased in the last month. We can shift some of them to the east, to the river sector, especially if the latest patrol report is valid."Father nodded slowly in agreement. “And what about the reconnaissance unit? They’ve been going back and forth without concrete results.”I took a breath. “Because they were sent without a clear objective. They need more speci

    The sun was rising high as I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. The face that had felt so close to Alpha Aric last night was now neutral again, leaving no trace except for a faint pulse still felt at the tip of my wrist. Father had been busy in his office since morning, and Liora was also busy in the kitchen. I knew this was the right time.I looked at the pile of documents on the table. “Since I’ve finished all of that by sacrificing my sleep, it’s time for me to take action.”It was several hours after breakfast, and the calm had returned. I slipped out of the house quietly. My steps were quick yet cautious as I followed the path leading to the former black witch’s lair that I had previously raided. I hoped the place hadn’t been touched by anyone, including the Silvergrove Pack. “Maybe there’s something I haven’t examined carefully there,” I muttered. “Do you really need to do this? I think it’s better for you to prepare to form your own organization so you c

  • Monster Luna Writes Her Own Destiny   Chapter 17 “I’m just like this with you.”

    I took Father's hand and transferred my warmth to it. Our eyes met, and I shook my head slowly as a signal. Alpha Aric, who was standing tall beside me, bowed his head politely."I will make sure Miss Lyara returns safely, Mr. Moonveil," he said calmly, his distinctive voice sounding steady.Father sighed, as if giving up. His expression softened, though his watchful gaze had not completely faded. "Don't come home too late."***The restaurant we went to was located on the border between packs, on the top floor of a classic modern building. The interior was elegant, with large windows displaying a view of the busy streets from above. Thin curtains billowed gently in the breeze from the ceiling vents, and the aroma of freshly grilled meat wafted out from the kitchen to greet us.Alpha Aric had rented out the entire floor of the restaurant for the two of us. There were no other guests, only the soft instrumental music filling the room. It felt like we were in a world of our own.The wai
