Chapter 2

Aвтор: Ava
David was no longer the one I used to know.

Back then, when he saw me jump into the silver pin with a firm resolve to end my life, his wolf nearly broke apart.

Without a moment's hesitation, he leapt in after me and dragged me back from the silver pin.

From that day on, unlike everyone else, David didn't point fingers or throw blame at me.

Instead, he stood by my side—and comforted me.

He told me that everything I had lost would return to me in another form.

He said we had to move forward—and if I couldn't forget Jackson, then I should just hide him deep in my heart.

Jackson had saved me by sacrificing his life.

He didn't do it so I could throw mine away.

David saved me time and time again after that.

And in order to stop me from ending my life again, he said he would claim me as his mate.

He told me,

"You have a new life now. Hide Jackson in your heart. But now that you're forming a new bond—you must treasure your own life."

From that moment on, David stayed by my side every day, like a ray of sunlight piercing through my endless night.

On the Full Moon Day last month, beneath the moonlight in the forest, he claimed me as his mate.

I saw all the care he gave me. I felt it.

So I was truly happy and decided to accept him—

Even though I didn't say yes right away,

Because first,

I wanted to say goodbye to Jackson...

And finally let him go from my heart.

I knew that only by truly letting go of Jackson could I be ready to start a new bond.

David was the one who deserved my whole heart—every last piece of it.

But deep down, I also knew…

He hadn't let go of my past the way I had.

He hadn't forgotten.

Just then, a sweet voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

A young she-wolf couldn't help but ask,

"Have you even thought about how Aria would react… if she found out you were testing her like this?"

David swirled the wine in his glass, his pride slowly creeping back into his expression.

"If she truly loves me, she'll understand."

But the she-wolf pressed on, her tone sharper now.

"We all know her wolf was already emotionally shattered. What if she really takes her life this time? What will you do then?"

A cold curve appeared on David's lips.

"Wouldn't that prove she truly loves me? Even more than she ever loved Jackson."

"Are you not afraid she might completely break down—and actually die?"

David burst into laughter.

"Isn't that even better? At least then… I win. I beat Jackson."

My legs trembled violently, and I had to lean against the wall for support.

My wolf howled in sorrow, her cry growing weaker and weaker—until she nearly collapsed inside me.

So that was it.

He held back. Again and again.

His voice faltered. His eyes avoided mine.

He hesitated not because he was shy, but because he didn't believe in me.

And that silence hurt more than rejection ever could.

  • The Luna Who Faked Her Death   Chapter 9

    When I arrived at the infirmary in a wedding dress to pick up David, he was already gone.I knew then—he had changed the location.At the front desk, the nurse told me he had been discharged.The paperwork? Handled by Serena.I told myself: the final act had begun.The curtain would fall soon.I didn’t panic. Didn’t rush to find him.Instead, I calmly dialed his number and sent a message asking where he was.No answer.So I drove—to Jackson’s grave.Sitting silently in front of his tombstone, I closed my eyes and leaned gently against the cold marble.Saying nothing. Just… breathing.A long silence passed. Then my phone vibrated.A video message from David.He was tied to a chair, mouth gagged with a strip of cloth.Serena stood behind him, eyes wild, pressing a knife to his throat.“Aria, why? Why did you get his love so easily? I’ve been by David’s side for years—and you? Just a broken little depressive girl.”“Didn’t you want to bond with him? Go on, then! If I can’t have him, neith

    I clenched my jaw so hard, it felt like my teeth might crack.My fists trembled with fury, every muscle screaming to strike her.Only the pain of my nails digging into my palms kept me from exploding.I just couldn’t understand.Jackson was gone—he died protecting me.And I… I was broken.I blamed myself.Everyone else did too.They reminded me—over and over, in whispers and stares—that I should’ve died with him.And I tried.More than once.Not just because Jackson was gone…But because I couldn’t survive the weight of their judgment.But when I finally, finally clawed my way out of the darkness—When I dared to breathe again, to live again—They came for me all over again.Accusing. Condemning.Calling me a traitor to his memory.Heartless.Unworthy of the love he gave me.It was David who pulled me out of that pit.And for a while… I believed he was different.That he loved me. Respected me. Saw me.But now I see it clearly—Even David, the one who stood by me through three years of

    It wasn’t until the crash that I realized—David shielded me with everything he had, without a second thought.The cars collided. Tires screamed. Ours skidded forward despite the brakes.The violent inertia nearly hurled us out of our seats.Horns blared in chaos as oncoming traffic surged past.David jerked the wheel hard—our car spun sideways, and the airbags burst open with a deafening pop.Glass shattered around us like flying knives, and the vehicle jolted to a halt.Blood ran down his face, warm and slow, landing on my hands—snapping me out of the weightless haze.Behind us, passengers screamed in terror and pain.My hands trembled as I reached for him, cupping his blood-streaked face.My voice cracked with helpless fear.“There were airbags… why would you throw yourself over me? Where are you hurt?”David gave me a weak, broken smile.“Protecting you… it’s muscle memory by now. Aria, as long as you’re safe… I’m fine.”“Don’t cry. Don’t panic. I’m okay. Really, I am.”It was a ca

    And just like that, it hit me—my earlier madness had been pointless. Not even worth the tears I shed.Hearing my flat tone, David let out a low, smug chuckle—infuriatingly seductive."Aria, are you upset? Is it because I didn’t come home last night, or because I drove two female friends back?"He paused, then added nonchalantly, “My car broke down on the highway. That’s why I couldn’t answer your calls—I was busy fixing it.”He said it so casually. So smoothly.As if it were the truth.But I heard it—clearly. The soft, breathy moan of a she-wolf on the other end of the line.And then came a low groan from David himself.Maybe it was intentional. Maybe it wasn’t. But it didn’t matter anymore.I pretended not to hear it. “When are you coming back?”David replied quickly, almost as if trying to escape the question.“Just rest. I’ll be home later.”And then—he hung up.I sat there in silence, the sharp beep of disconnection cutting straight through my chest.That she-wolf’s voice—so sultry

  • The Luna Who Faked Her Death   Chapter 5

    I didn’t know what David was thinking when he heard my question—but all I saw was his face darken.All I wanted to know was this:If he truly saw me as a burden in his life, then please, let me go.He could break our bond whenever he wanted.Or he could just admit it—that he didn’t believe he was better than Jackson.And if he did, then I could calmly tell him the truth:It’s impossible for me to forget Jackson, because he died for me.But David wasn’t anyone’s stand-in.No—there was only one reason for all this:Me.I was the one who caused the chaos.I was the one who locked my heart away from everyone.And maybe,just maybe,it would be better for both of us if I told him the truth—so we could stop torturing each other.David’s eyes turned red.“Aria, you are my fated mate. I can’t lose you!”His acting was flawless.“Aria…You don’t know how much I cherish you.My wolf—he wouldn’t survive without his mate.He wouldn’t even last another second.”I could sense his meaning since all

  • The Luna Who Faked Her Death   Chapter 4

    I was still sitting on the bed in a daze when David returned.When he turned on the light, he suddenly pulled out a bouquet of flowers from behind his back.He handed them to me, his voice unusually soft."Aria, on my birthday, all I want is for you to stay with me.Only you can be my mate… my Luna.I can't lose you."Hearing those words, I held back a bitter smile.Did love from a he-wolf always come with conditions?Was it always meant to be repaid on their terms?Just then, his phone rang.David stiffened, then quickly turned away and walked into the other room to answer it.He did it so cautiously—as if afraid I might overhear something…Something that could trigger my wolf again.Something that would make everything worse.If I hadn’t already discovered his true intentions,I would have believed he truly cared about me.I reminded myself to act exactly as I always had—so he wouldn’t notice any change in me.So, just as he expected, I asked him in a cautious, hesitant tone—whethe
