Aurelia's POV

I was reviewing Soren's latest treatment notes when someone knocked on my bedroom door the following morning.

"Come in," I called, setting my pen beside the folder.

Mother appeared carrying a small breakfast tray, followed by a maid with a teapot. She looked better rested than she had the previous evening, although Adrian had apparently insisted she eat before coming to see me.

"I hope I'm not disturbing you," she said, glancing at the papers spread across my desk. "Helena told me

    Aurelia's POVI was reviewing Soren's latest treatment notes when someone knocked on my bedroom door the following morning."Come in," I called, setting my pen beside the folder.Mother appeared carrying a small breakfast tray, followed by a maid with a teapot. She looked better rested than she had the previous evening, although Adrian had apparently insisted she eat before coming to see me."I hope I'm not disturbing you," she said, glancing at the papers spread across my desk. "Helena told me you weren't working today.""I'm not. I was just going through some notes."She watched me gather the documents into a neat pile before setting the tray on the small table beside the couch."You were always fond of books," she said. "I suppose some things haven't changed."I smiled and joined her.For the first few minutes, we talked about her journey home and how much the residence had changed during her absence. She complained that Ronan had rearranged her favourite sitting room, then admitte

  • The Luna He Never Deserved   Chapter 52 — The Daughter She Lost

    Aurelia's POVMy mother stood beside the car, looking at me as though she was afraid I might disappear if she came any closer.Adrian spoke quietly beside her, but she didn't seem to hear him. Her eyes remained fixed on my face, moving slowly over my hair, my eyes and my mouth before returning to my eyes again."Aurelia?"I opened my mouth to answer, but nothing came out. Laura took a hesitant step forward, then looked toward Evander as though she needed him to confirm what she was seeing."It's her, Mother," he said gently. "She's right here."I couldn't remember deciding to move, but suddenly I was walking down the steps toward her.Laura lifted both hands as I approached, although she hesitated before touching me. Up close, I could see the fine lines around her eyes and the silver threaded through her dark hair. She looked older than the woman in the photographs, but I recognised the shape of her face.It was the same face I'd spent years studying in mirrors without knowing where i

  • The Luna He Never Deserved   Chapter 51 — The Mother Coming Home

    Aurelia's POV"You're bringing Mother home?"I leaned closer to Helena's phone, almost knocking the folder of documents off my lap."Yes," Adrian answered. "Her doctors have cleared her for travel, and I've already started making the arrangements. If everything goes according to plan, we should arrive the day after tomorrow."Helena was smiling beside me, but I could barely return it.A few minutes ago, I'd been sitting in the registrar's office, trying to get used to seeing Aurelia Laurent on my legal documents. Now Adrian was telling me that I would finally meet the woman who'd given me that name."Does she know about me?" I asked."Not yet. I wanted to speak to you first, like I promised."I lowered my eyes to the folder in my lap.When Evander first told me Mother was alive, he'd explained how badly her condition had deteriorated after years of searching for me. Every false lead had made things worse until her doctors recommended treatment away from everything connected to my disa

  • The Luna He Never Deserved   Chapter 50 — Aurelia Laurent

    Aurelia’s POVFor a moment, I could only look at the envelope in Darius’s hand.I’d imagined this moment so many times that I’d expected to know exactly what to say when it finally arrived. Instead, I stood beside the corridor window, listening to the distant conversations from the reception while my husband held out the documents I’d spent weeks asking him to sign.He didn’t move closer or try to place them in my hands. He simply waited until I reached for the envelope myself.I opened it beneath the wall lamp and took out the agreement. My signature was still where I’d left it, along with the reason I’d written in his study while my suitcase waited in the hall.Betrayal of the mate bond.I turned to the final page, and there, beneath mine, was Darius’s signature.The date beside it was yesterday’s.I read it twice to make certain I hadn’t misunderstood.Yesterday, before Evander walked into the ceremony. Before anyone knew I was a Laurent, and before Darius discovered that the man w

  • The Luna He Never Deserved   Chapter 49 — Too Late to Want Her

    Darius’s POV“Not now that we know she’s the Lycan King’s sister.”I stared at my mother, wondering whether she’d heard herself.She was still holding my arm, her attention moving between my face and the royal delegation across the hall. Less than an hour ago, she’d been demanding to know which wealthy Alpha was paying for Aurelia’s clothes.Now she was asking me to keep Aurelia as my wife because of the family she’d been born into.“Let go of my arm, Mother.”She released me, although her expression remained impatient.“Darius, I need you to think carefully about this. Whatever disagreements you’ve had with Aurelia, you cannot throw away a connection to House Laurent over a few unfortunate arguments.”“A few unfortunate arguments?” I repeated, unable to believe she was describing the past several weeks that way.“You know what I mean.” She lowered her voice as two guests passed nearby. “The Laurents are the most powerful family in the territories. Do you understand what a marriage al

  • The Luna He Never Deserved   Chapter 48 — Everything He Got Wrong

    Darius’s POV“That was your brother?”Aurelia didn’t answer immediately, and for a moment, I wondered whether I’d actually spoken aloud.She stood between Evander and Ronan Laurent, watching me with an expression I couldn’t quite read. Around us, the hall had erupted into whispers, but I could barely hear them over the memory of what I’d done the evening she left.I’d dragged my wife against me because another male’s scent was on her clothes, kissed her while she struggled, and tried to replace every trace of that scent with my own.When she finally bit me hard enough to draw blood, I’d accused her of going to another man.Now that man was standing beside her, with one hand resting protectively against her shoulder.Her brother.The Lycan King was Aurelia’s brother.“Yes, Darius,” Aurelia answered eventually. “Evander is my brother.”I looked toward him, remembering what he’d just explained about collecting Aurelia from the hospital.She’d been injured, and he’d given her his coat bef
