Last Updated:
2025-07-09 07:30:26VELARA'S POV
I hadn’t been prepared for the words that left the doctor’s mouth — a quiet, steady voice belonging to a woman who had just shattered the fragile understanding I had of what tethered Damon and me together. I didn’t know such a thing was even possible, that the bond we shared could be wounded so deeply. Pain, after all, was a familiar companion. I had become accustomed to its silent presence, had grown used to carrying it like a second skin. But this — this wasn’t just pain. It was devastation in disguise. The knowledge that Damon had harmed the very essence of what tied us together settled like ice in the pit of my stomach.Yet somehow, the connection still thrummed inside me. It hadn’t faded. It hadn’t dulled. Even with all the anger simmering in me, I could still feel that invisible thread pulling me toward him. I still wanted him, despite hating everything he had done, despite the resentment that coiled in my chest like smoke. And in that moment, al

TO DENY A LUNA CHAPTER 125: FORENSIC DISCOVERY
VELARA'S POVA flicker of recognition passed through me when Officer Elijah asked if I knew her. I nodded, voice steady despite the unease building in my chest. She worked at my hotel. I had driven all this way just to check in on her.Elijah let out a long, weary breath, his fingers dragging down his face in a gesture of frustration and exhaustion. “Her apartment’s a disaster,” he said, his voice heavy. “Looks like there was a serious fight. Forensics are already inside, gathering blood samples.”The word blood hit me like ice water down my spine. My thoughts immediately leapt to Hazel and her little boy—the last time I saw them, their quiet warmth, the way she smiled even on the hardest days. Blood samples. My stomach churned.I could barely form the word as it left my lips. “Blood?”“It’s bad,” Elijah said grimly. “Whoever did it didn’t get to her without a fight. But there’s no trace of her or her son.”Beside me, Dante’s jaw
TO DENY A LUNA CHAPTER 124: DISAPPEARING ACTS
VELARA'S POVThe moment Kylie answered the phone, I didn’t waste time. My voice came out firm and clipped as I told her, “Call Isla and see if she can fill in. I’m heading to the commune.” The panic was already taking root, curling tightly in my chest like a storm ready to break loose.Kael.His name echoed through my mind, heavy and urgent. My fingers trembled slightly as I pulled out my phone and called Damon. The line clicked once, then went straight to voicemail. I stared at the screen in disbelief, then locked it with a sharp tap. Of course it was off. Of course.A growl built in my throat, low and frustrated. I turned to Dante, my tone clipped. “Mind-link your Alpha. Ask him where my son is.”Dante’s mouth curved into a lazy smirk, clearly unbothered by my rising panic. “If you’d let him mark you, you could mind-link him yourself,” he said with a shrug.I rolled my eyes, not in the mood for games. His expression turned dist
TO DENY A LUNA CHAPTER 123: STAFFING CRISIS
VELARA'S POVGetting Damon off my back felt like an exhausting battle that lasted all day. He had been relentlessly pushing to take Kael for the weekend, his persistence turning every conversation into a frustrating loop. The argument dragged on endlessly until he finally agreed to drop the subject, but only on the condition that he could pick Kael up from school and take him out for a while. I gave in with a reluctant nod, not out of trust, but sheer necessity. I needed space to breathe, to actually get some work done. Things at the restaurant were spiraling—again. We were short on staff, and the weight of it all pressed heavily on my shoulders.As if that wasn’t enough, Hazel had gone completely silent. No one had heard from her, and unsettling rumors started to circulate. Her son had apparently missed school today too. That piece of information landed like a rock in my gut, feeding a sense of unease I couldn’t ignore.When the clock neared six in the ev
TO DENY A LUNA CHAPTER 122: IN HER SPACE
DAMON'S POVThe air was light with teasing when she tilted her head and gestured toward the bundle of clothes resting in my arms, her expression playful and sharp.“So, did you go sniffing Elysia’s underwear too?”“What? Of course not!” I said, my voice firm and rushed. “I just picked these up from the hamper in the bathroom.”Like what the hell?The corners of her lips twitched into a knowing smirk as she gave a soft laugh. The amusement in her eyes sparkled like the edge of a joke only she understood. Then, with casual ease, she tossed her panties and camisole at me.“Relax, Damon. I’m only messing with you.”I let out a slow breath I hadn’t realized I was holding, the tightness in my chest loosening just enough to feel ridiculous for taking her seriously.But she wasn’t finished. Stretching out more comfortably on the bed, she cast me a sideways glance, still amused. “If you’re looking for a job, I could use
TO DENY A LUNA CHAPTER 121: ACCIDENTAL CONFESSION
DAMON'S POVThe low hum of morning activity filtered into the room like a distant tide, gently coaxing me from the haze of sleep. Muffled voices drifted down the hall, punctuated by the sound of hurried footsteps—Elysia, orchestrating the start of the day with the kids, her voice rising and falling in calm but practiced command. The rustle of clothing, the soft patter of little feet, and the occasional burst of laughter painted the rhythm of a home in motion.I stirred slowly, the warmth of Velara beside me anchoring me to the bed. Her body was curled against mine, her breathing steady and undisturbed. Careful not to wake her, I began to shift, inching my way out from beneath her soft weight.But the door burst open before I could even sit up, slamming against the wall with a sharp, echoing thud. Kael exploded into the room with the unstoppable energy only a child could possess, his small frame a blur of enthusiasm and bouncing limbs. In his wake came Elys
TO DENY A LUNA CHAPTER 120: PACING SHADOWS
VELARA'S POVDamon’s voice broke the heavy silence, low and groggy, threaded with sleep. “I can sleep on the couch if Kael’s not coming back in. Is that why you were pacing in the hall? Or did you go take more of those pills?” He rubbed at his eyes, the motion slow, his fingers brushing across the shadowed skin beneath them as a yawn crept into his voice.The word pacing hit me like a jolt. I hadn’t noticed. Had I really been pacing? A chill coiled in the pit of my stomach, tightening with every passing second. That creeping sense of unraveling I’d tried so hard to suppress was seeping through the cracks again. My throat felt tight as I forced down a swallow. I should tell him to take the couch. That’s the rational thing to do. That’s the boundary I need.But before I could find the words, he murmured again, his tone softer now, edged with concern. “Velara?”I hesitated for a heartbeat too long before muttering, “No, it’s fine.”He didn’t
