~Derek~

If I was being honest with myself, I had imagined kissing Celina far more times than I should have. At first, I used to shut the thoughts down immediately. The moment my mind wandered toward her lips or the idea of holding her close, I would force myself to stop. Because she was forbidden. But even then, my feelings for her had never truly stopped growing, no matter how much I tried controlling them. And now? Now that I had actually kissed her, I realized every fantasy I had ever imagin

  • Rise Of The Broken Luna   CHAPTER 133: MATE

    ~Derek~If I was being honest with myself, I had imagined kissing Celina far more times than I should have. At first, I used to shut the thoughts down immediately. The moment my mind wandered toward her lips or the idea of holding her close, I would force myself to stop. Because she was forbidden. But even then, my feelings for her had never truly stopped growing, no matter how much I tried controlling them. And now? Now that I had actually kissed her, I realized every fantasy I had ever imagined fell pathetically short compared to reality. Nothing could compare to the warmth of her lips or the way she melted against me while kissing me. Nothing could have prepared me for the soft sound she made when I deepened the kiss slightly. Or the way the mate bond had surged wildly between us like our wolves were celebrating after years of waiting. I was hopelessly in love with her and even though the realization should have been alarming, it simply felt right. Like accepting something that had

  • Rise Of The Broken Luna   CHAPTER 132: MY WORLD

    ~Celina~I stared at Derek in absolute mortification. Did I really just say that out loud? I like you? Seriously? Oh Moon Goddess! What was wrong with me? Who even confessed like that? I sounded like a nervous school girl blurting out her crush to the most popular boy in class. My cheeks felt warm and I was sure that they were turning an alarming shade of red at the moment. I wanted the ground to swallow me whole, right this minute.I didn't even dare to look at him, not even thinking of answering his question asking me if I really did like him. But finally, I could no longer stand the silence and slowly, I looked up at him. And everything else disappeared. Because the expression on his face completely shattered every ounce of embarrassment I felt. He was smiling and it was not the restrained polite smiles he usually gave others. Nor the faint amused smirks he occasionally directed at Fiona’s nonsense. No. This smile was different. His eyes gleamed with so much happiness that my chest

  • Rise Of The Broken Luna   CHAPTER 131: I LIKE YOU

    ~Derek~I stood frozen before the altar long after Celina disappeared. I could still feel the newly formed mate bond between us even after she left. Mine. Celina was mine. The realization echoed inside my mind, mixing with disbelief and overwhelming relief so intense it almost hurt. After years of emptiness and after watching countless wolves recognize their mates instantly while I felt nothing, I had finally found her. And it was Celina. Some part of me almost wanted to laugh now that the truth was finally out. Because looking back, how could it have been anyone else? Every instinct I had ignored, every pull toward and every moment my wolf reacted to her despite the absence of a bond, it all made sense now. Now I knew why I could never stay away from her no matter how much I tried remaining logical. I guess I should have known when her mere smile could alter my entire mood. It also explained how a slight sense of danger to her made fear envelop me like I had never felt before. I love

  • Rise Of The Broken Luna   CHAPTER 130: SOMEONE BETTER

    ~Celina~I stared at the glowing moonstone that illuminated the entire altar chamber in silver light with disbelief. My hand was still pressed against Derek’s. And the sacred moonstone was still reacting to us.Slowly, I turned toward the priestess. She was watching quietly, that same knowing smile lingering on her face as though none of this surprised her in the slightest.“Does this…” I said before clearing my throat. "Does this mean what I think it means?”The priestess tilted her head gently.“Yes. It does.”I stared at her blankly. No, this couldn’t make sense. Because if this was true, then everything I thought I knew about my life was wrong.“How?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “How could this happen?”The priestess just stared at me with that serene smile.“I was Logan’s mate!” The words felt wrong somehow even if it was once the truth.“The bond you shared with Logan was real,” the priestess explained softly. “But it was never the bond intended by fate.”I shook m

  • Rise Of The Broken Luna   CHAPTER 129: ALWAYS MINE

    ~Derek~I have walked into battles without flinching. I have faced rogue Alphas and even faced an ancient deity. And yet somehow, walking beside Celina toward the inner altar of the Moon Goddess temple made me more nervous than any of those things combined. My heart was pounding so loudly that I was sure even Celina who was beside me could hear it. How ridiculous!Trying to distract myself, I looked around as we walked. Ancient carvings lined the walls of the temple, depicting wolves bowing beneath the moon, mates standing hand in hand before glowing altars, and blessings granted by the goddess herself.I turned to see Celina walking beside me quietly, her face looking just as tense as mine even though I hadn’t even mentioned the real purpose of this temple visit to her yet. In contrast, the priestess walked calmly ahead of us. After what felt like ages, we finally reached the inner sanctum. The moment I stepped inside, something inside me settled instantly. The nervousness didn’t di

  • Rise Of The Broken Luna   CHAPTER 128: THE MOON GODDESS TEMPLE

    ~Celina~The journey to the Moon Goddess temple lasted hours and by the time we reached, it was already late evening. Through the car window, I looked out at the temple grounds. Tall trees surrounded the grounds, their leaves shimmering softly beneath the evening light. White stone paths wound between the gardens, leading to the temple. Even the air felt fresher, making me feel calmer than I had felt in a long while.Beside me, Fiona pressed her face dramatically against the car window.“Oh wow,” she breathed. “Okay, I take back every complaint I made during the trip.”Derek looked deeply unimpressed from the seat ahead.“Hours of complaint gone in a minute?”“What? I don't even have the right to complain now?”Derek rolled his eyes and Fiona ignored him completely. I smiled at their interaction and stepped out once the car stopped near the main courtyard. The moment my feet touched the ground, a strange feeling settled over me. Like something invisible had noticed our arrival. I unco
