The Broken Luna Returns

I really hate school. I know I should study hard but studying real isn't for me. I'm good at cooking though. Why can't I just do that instead of studying science and math? I'm only here because of my uncles and our Alpha. They think going to school will help improve my social skills. Yeah, right. If they only knew what's really happening in my life right now. My uncle Sebastian would go on a rampage if he knew how they're treating me. He already threatened the pack to report them to the High Council if the bullying doesn't stop. Uncle Sebastian is fiercely protective, and his mate, Auntie Reyna wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone who would hurt me. Sadly, they don't know how they treat me behind closed doors and when they're away for work. When my uncles are present they would always make me live in their house and everyone wouldn't dare hurt or maltreat me. But the second they're gone, the others would always kick me and throw me to my old rugged room saying that I belonged there

It was finally Ryker's birthday, our future Alpha, and today, he's expected to find his Luna. I hope whoever she is, she has a kind heart and listens to her pack members.Meanwhile, here I am, helping Cassie in the kitchen with the other omegas. I don't plan to stay for the party. Once we're done, I'll head back to my room and sleep. Cassie already knows my plan. She tried to convince me to stay and enjoy the celebration, but I only raised an eyebrow at her. She knows this pack doesn't treat me like family—or even like a real member—except for her, her mate, Alpha Grey, and Gab. So, why should I stay? To celebrate the birthday of the person who hates my guts?After preparing the food and finishing my dinner, I bid Cassie goodnight. Before I could leave, she kissed me on the temple and whispered a gentle "Goodnight" to me.I rushed upstairs, avoiding everyone. Once in my room, I took a quick bath and lay in bed, but no matter how hard I tried, my eyes wouldn't close. My mind kept spinn

I woke up to the scent of clean sheets. I felt warm, and for some reason it was the kind of warmth I used to feel as a child, back when mom would wrap me in her arms until I could fall asleep safely. I slowly travelled my eyes around the room. It was dim, the curtains were drawn and the air still. A faint breeze passed through the slightly cracked window. The sheets under me were too soft, especially the pillows. Where am I? I tried getting up but I could barely move without flinching. My body felt sore all over, and my mind was still foggy. I blinked slowly, trying to make sense of the pain that was laced into every corner of my bones, then all of a sudden, my memories came back in scattered flashes. Connor. The forest. And then… a man. Holding me. I sat up too quickly and hissed at the pain that shot through my ribs. “Easy there. Don’t move too fast.” I slightly jerked when I heard a deep voice. He stepped into view from the corner of the room, where he must

We had breakfast together. It was quiet at first. A lot of passing dishes and awkward smiles, but slowly… things warmed. Jace cracked jokes. Theo told weird historical facts. Celina filled me in on everyone’s favorite meals, pet peeves, and childhood disasters. And I smiled. I smiled for real at everything they said to me. Surprisingly, this still wasn’t everyone of the Blackwood. There were still others I had yet to meet. Celina said they are still away for a mission. I was curious what mission they had but didn’t raise my curiosity further. … After breakfast, they gave me some space to reflect before leaving me alone. They didn't want to overwhelm me with their presence. I sat alone on the porch, feeling the breeze on my skin. My ribs ached, yet something in my heart felt less hollow. I didn’t know it was such a good feeling being surrounded by so many people who care about you. I watched the beautiful scenery in front of me when all of a sudden– “Mind some compan

One afternoon, while I was training heavily. Elijah showed up with his usual demeanor. But this time, it was different. He finally stepped in. He really kept his word. "You’re dropping your shoulder again," he said, voice sharp as ever. I paused mid-strike, turned slightly, and squinted at him. Wow! Didn't know he knew how to teach. Tsk! After all this time he was just watching and now he has the nerve to scold me when he just started teaching me? I wanted to tell him off for pointing things out like he was Mr. Training Guru when he barely spoke to me the past few days, but I held back. Celina did mention he could be…well…intense when it came to training. I don't want to get on his bad side. Plus, he's older than me. No matter how much I hated his guts I still need to show respect to people older than me. "I’m trying, okay? This isn’t easy," I muttered under my breath. He didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he stepped closer, placed his hands gently on my shoulders,
