The Luna's Prey Chapter 40: Somewhere In His Heart
LUTHER’S efforts, his honesty, his vulnerability which he only seems to reveal in front of me, his guts, his heart: scarred but bold, I found all of them attractive. Tonight, he made sure that no threat will ever reach me. He lets me fight because he knew I could win.When I look at him, I could see this strange faith he had in me. I didn’t even know where it came from. And if ever I don’t win, he would be behind me as if to make sure that I would still achieve victory.Like the wolves that we saved, Luther was wounded, too. I couldn’t see his wounds. But I knew they exist. Somewhere in his heart, I knew they were there. It was just sad that the cause of his wounds were not his enemies, but his own family. And this battle will keep scarring him.As we go on, the more he fights, the more he finds out the truth, the greater and bigger his wounds will be. He knew that. Still, the determination in his eyes didn’t fade away.Because like me, he wanted to see this through until the end.“I
The Luna's Prey Chapter 41: The Sound of Silence
(Alexandra)“IT’S GOING to hurt at first. But hey, you will be okay,” I heard Luther whisper to the little girl in the backyard. I think she was about nine to ten years old. The other kids were in the garden. I could hear their sheer laughter as they play with Beatrix, Kenji, and other volunteers.She was the only child who didn’t join the activities we laid out for the children here in Saint Vincent orphanage. I heard from the staff that this girl with brown curly hair just arrived two days ago. Her mother left her here and since then, she hadn’t talked to anyone, even to the staff, and was just quietly waiting for her mother’s return.To my surprise, Luther came to her with a big teddy bear in his hand and sat next to her. For the past days, we had been active in things like this. While the elites were attacking each other, we decided to lie low. They knew that Luther had turned his back on them completely, but things were okay for now since what happened at the auction house had ma

“MOM, I’m so glad you called! Thank you for-““I called because I heard the semester will be over in a few days’ time. Don’t come here again, Alexandra. Do not come unless we tell you to.”My smile faded. This was the first time my mother called, the first time that I was thankful about human devices. I thought she had missed me somehow. I guess I was wrong.“Why aren't you saying something? Don’t tell me you’re planning to visit San Antonio again?"“I only wanted to stay overnight. Or I could just drop by and chat with you, with Serena, and with the Alpha at least for an hour and then I’d leave right away after that-““No! Didn’t you hear what I just said? We already have so many problems here, Alexandra! Stop including yourself on the list!”“I’m sorry, Mom. I just really want to see you all in person,” I replied meekly while looking at the photos Serena had sent to me. Both the Luna and the Alpha were there, smiling as they stood behind her. I wanted to be in that picture, too. I n
The Luna's Prey Chapter 43: Red and Blue
THERE he was again, sending my heart in chaos with those words.“I don’t think I’ve done enough for you to see me that way, Luther. I’m not even sure I know the colors you were talking about.”“You knew. Maybe you just forgot. Do you want me to tell you about them? Maybe then you’d be reminded of them.”“Go on. Let me hear it.”I needed to hear it. I needed to know because I wanted to see the same colors he was seeing, to experience the same feeling he experienced. If I truly forgot them, then I want to remember them now.“Blue is what I feel each time I have you close to me like this. It’s this peaceful feeling that I can only find when I’m with you.”I closed my eyes and tried to picture the colors he was describing.“Whenever we kiss, I would be reminded of red, of fire and passion. When we argue, I’m reminded of what the sky looks like when it’s about to rain. It’s gray. And darling when you smile, even if it’s night time, I feel like I’m seeing the sun. It was that bright, that d
The Luna's Prey Chapter 44: The Sand Castle and Me
(Alexandra)“AFTER you are done using the human, I expect you to dispose of him properly, Alexandra. He was useful to us. So, give him as much compensation as he wants. Since Giovanni has imprinted you already, we are expecting the two of you to tie the knot next. That kid has so much potential. Your trainers have seen him and said that among the alphas, he was the only one who could come next to you when it comes to speed and strength. He’s a half-breed, but it does not matter. He has surpassed so many wolves after he survived his first phasing. With the combination of your genes, the future generation will be stronger and more powerful.”I love my parents and my pack. I really do. I just didn’t like the way they refer to Luther as an object. The humans had become beasts to protect themselves from the wolves. But I fear that the wolves were becoming as coldblooded as humans in their desire to win. I understand that it was necessary but must they do this to their own kin as well?The
The Luna's Prey Chapter 45: Meet Me Halfway
“DOES this mean that Luther could be dead as we speak?” Clay asked. “That’s too bad. It will be hard to find another tool that we could use for the plan.”I could feel my eyes changing color. Clay’s eyes widened upon meeting mine. There was wonder and fear in his eyes. His body quaked. My fingernails dug in his shoulders when I grabbed him. Every word that came out of his mouth made my blood simmer. He was saying he felt bad and yet, he looked relieved.My voice resounded in the entire house when I spoke, “Luther is not just a tool! He is not just any other human! He is my husband! And he is my mate! He has the same mark as me! I saw it! Talk to him that way one more time and I will not hesitate to pluck your tongue and teeth and to turn you into a useless wolf, do you understand?”“I-I do. I’m sorry, Alexandra,” Clay said.When I chucked him on the wall, he unexpectedly shifted in his wolf form and whimpered.I’ve had enough for today. My parents looked too stunned to speak. But this

AND HE stood still, waiting for my every word when he should be rushing to rest or to get treated. How come that my own pack always seem to struggle listening to my own voice when this human had no problem hearing it? He just kept seeing me for who I was.In his eyes, I could see my flawed self clearly. But I found acceptance with the way he looked at me. I found beauty in things that others would normally regard as ugly or scary.“Go on, darling. What do you want to tell me?”I cleared my throat. And gradually, I could feel my eyes changing back to normal. “You know I was with my pack, with my friends, with people I call home, and I still thought I should be somewhere else. That I should be with you.”His eyes widened.“You won, Luther. This doesn’t make sense even to me but I can’t deny this any longer. I have fallen in love with you,” I said and held his cheeks.So, this was what it meant to fall in love. It stresses you out. It makes your heart leap out of your chest from worry. I
The Luna's Prey Chapter 47: All Yours
(Alexandra)“DRIVE as fast as you can, Carlos. If we reach our destination in less than thirty minutes, I will give you a bonus,” Luther commanded the driver before he pulled me inside the backseat of his Mercedes Benz. We were supposed to ride Isaac’s car, but Carlos came rushing with Luther’s own car. So, Isaac and three more guards would follow us in another car until we get home.“Why didn’t you bring guards earlier? This wouldn’t have happened if you had brought them with you,” I told Luther as he sat beside me.“Today was the first time I met with your pack as your husband. I didn’t want them to think that I was afraid of them. I didn’t want them to be uncomfortable, too. I was already enough to cause them extreme distress.”I sighed. “Next time, wherever you go, whether it’s in the woods or not, you have to remember to bring your guards with you, Luther. By the way, did you see the person who tried to kill you?”Instead of answering, Luther took his bandage off. I gasped. “What
