The Luna's Second Chance 47. A Tangle of Lies
Aurora’s POV Harper’s voice drifted softly from behind me, pulling me from my thoughts. “You should go back, Aurora.” I turned and smiled at her, but I knew she was seeing the exhaustion behind my eyes. “Has anyone from my pack asked about me?” I asked quietly, my heart pounding as I braced myself for her answer. “No,” Harper said, shaking her head. “I haven’t seen anyone from your pack, including Kieran.” Relief flooded through me. “Good.” I exhaled sharply. “You should go back and get some rest. Change your clothes. I’ll take care of Alpha Darius until Ivy gets back from school.” She smiled at me, saying the exact words my body and soul wanted to hear.Not just about the exhaustion of being sleep deprived was weighing on me but Alpha Darius questions were suffocating me and piercing my soul deeply. I needed space from him.I hesitated, glancing toward the door behind which Darius lay resting. “I don’t want to leave him…” “I’ve got it handled,” Harper interrupted gently.

Darius's POV I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. Everywhere was a blurry, but the steady beep of the machines and the antiseptic smell brought back memories. I tried to sit up, but a wave of weakness washed over me, making my head spin."Ahh..." I groaned, collapsing back onto the pillows."Easy, easy," a gentle voice said beside me, I looked to my side and saw Ezra's concerned face coming into view as he reached out to adjust the bed controls. The bed slowly elevated, helping me find a more comfortable position.I took a few deep breaths, trying to shake off the lingering fatigue. My body ached, a dull throbbing that seemed to come out from every pore in my body. "How...how long?" I croaked, my throat dry.Ezra handed me a glass of water, helping me take a sip. "You've been out since yesterday. Aurora said you needed the rest."I nodded, memories slowly resurfacing. The attack, the pain, the darkness. Aurora's face flashed in my mind, and I felt a surge of
Last Updated : 2025-03-14The Luna's Second Chance 49. A Fragile Balance
Aurora's POV I slipped gently into the room, my eyes on Darius. He was sleeping, his chest rising and falling with a slow, steady rhythm. I felt a wave of relief wash over me, followed closely by fear.Getting here hasn't been easy. Kieran had been watching me closely since yesterday. He is trying to figure out where I keep disappearing to. It was only a matter of time before he discovered my secret. I shuddered at the thought.I was scared, terrified that Kieran would find out about Darius through me. I didn't know what else to do. I am sort of trapped. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. For now, I just had to be very careful, to keep my secrets hidden until I could figure out a way. Harper had already told me about the darkening on his foot, a clear sign that there is still a little amount of the silver poisoning in his system. I moved toward the bed quietly, not wanting to wake him up. I was avoiding him.As I reached down to check his foot, my fingers on hi
Last Updated : 2025-03-14The Luna's Second Chance 50. A Snitch in the Shadow
Darius's POV “Alpha” Ezra called as he stepped into the room just as I was trying to ease some of the weight off my leg. I knew I shouldn’t be up yet, but staying in that damn bed was making me restless and more than that, it was making me feel vulnerable. I've not been so immobile in my life, not even when my father had flogged me to a point of being unconscious one day in the name of being disciplined. “Ezra” Ezra's face set in that tight, serious expression he always wore when there was bad news. I pushed myself upright, ignoring the way my body protested. “What is it?” I asked as I searched his face. “It’s Alpha Watson,” Ezra said. “He showed up at the pack. Unannounced.” I felt the first stirrings of anger, slow and cold. Watson had always make sure he avoided anything to do with Lunaris Dominion pack so coming to the pack was bold of him like he had a leverage. “And what did he say he want?” I asked my eyes not leaving his.“He demanded to see you. I told him you were i
Last Updated : 2025-03-16The Luna's Second Chance 51. The Proposal
Aurora’s Pov Sneaking out daily to go tend Alpha Darius had become tedious with everyone curious about where I keep going off to. The lies about helping Harper out with Ivy wasn't adding up anymore. Sometimes I just ignored and don't bother giving a straight answer anytime I come across Kieran or Aria when I'm about to leave. I was halfway down the hallway when I suddenly heard her voice behind me. “Aurora.” I stopped in my tracks, biting back a sigh before turning around to face her. Avery.She stood there with her arms crossed, her sharp eyes raking over me like I was something she’d scraped off her shoe. She always shows how much I disgusted her at every chance she gets and right now I don't want to deal with her bullshit at the moment, not when I was already late to check on Darius and also when I'm battling with lots of mixed up feelings with him. She wasn't a type that ever cared about my time, space or my peace of mind. Even after showing her a lot of displeasure and tr
Last Updated : 2025-03-16The Luna's Second Chance 52. Space Between Us
Aurora's POV I sat on the edge of my bed, trying to steady my nerves after everything that had happened today. My mind kept replaying Alpha Darius’s words. The way he had defended me, the fire in his eyes when he stopped Avery from hitting me. It wasn’t something I expected from him, but I was grateful nonetheless. Still, I knew his boldness would only stir more rumors, and those were the last thing I needed. The words he said when we got to his private chambers were not a bit tempting. Why would I want to leave the Emberfang pack when I had lots of missions to cover and secrets to unravel. I knew he also suggested going to live among the humans but I still see no reasons why he would suggest any of this to me. I do not understand his concern at all.Why is he holding on to me this way?Do I look so helpless and fragile that he always wants to swerve in and save the day whenever he sees me? Or was there more to it?If I didn't already have a mate, I would have thought he was my fa
Last Updated : 2025-03-17The Luna's Second Chance 53. Dangerous Gamble
Darius’s Pov I sat in my private chambers, my leg stretched out in front of me. The ache had reduced a lot, but the sharp stabs still made themselves known every time I moved wrong. The silver poisoning was almost gone, but not fast enough. It was bearable now. The pain is dulling and I feel like I can go about my normal day to day activities. I wouldn't have realized how much better I was if I had remained in bed at the cabin. I can feel Magnus better than before and the urge to shift, run to the forest was almost overwhelming. The connection between Magnus and me now seemed stronger, and his emotions are clearer than before. It was as if being away from the cabin had somehow woken up our bond.Ezra walked in, worried etched across his face, his brows furrowed deeply as he shut the door behind him. His lips were pressed into a thin line, as if he were debating how to pick his words. I sat up straighter, my heart picking up pace at his unusual demeanor. “What is it?” I asked, my g
Last Updated : 2025-03-17The Luna's Second Chance 54. The Alliance Meeting
Darius's POV The day of the alliance meeting had finally arrived after much postponement and the morning was thick with tension in both the atmosphere and also in my gut. The sun had barely risen when I sat in my private office.I rubbed my eyes, staring at the papers on my desk. I was dressed in all black, my expression was cold as I reviewed the list of Alphas I would be meeting today. My first meeting was with Alpha Alaric. I sighed, running my hands through my hair. I hadn't slept all through the night, I had tossed in my bed thinking of the possibilities of today's alliance meeting. That feeling of uneasiness had been building up inside me and it was difficult to shake it off. The Emberfang pack was the reason for my restless night. I knew I was going to have a problem with them. I had rescheduled, rearranged, and reworked the terms of the alliance, all in an attempt to keep Aurora here. I exhaled deeply this time. Ezra sat across the desk watching me closely with an express

The Luna's Second Chance 94. New Wings
Aurora's POV Getting to the pack house, Darius led me to a room. I stood frozen in the doorway, hesitant to enter as he opened the room, my eyes scanned the room with a mix of unease and resentment. "My quarters are across, if you need anything." The thought of having him just across the hall made my heart flutter instantly, an emotion I didn't expect which was obviously from Terra who was leaping with joy in my head.He looked at me then, his eyes steady, seeing how hesitated I was, he took my hands and pulled me gently into the room. Leading me to the sofa in the room."You’re not a prisoner here, Aurora," he said. "You’re free to do whatever you want."I scoffed. "Doesn’t feel that way."He smiled faintly, the kind of smile that made my chest tighten against my will."You can go back to work at Northshore University Hospital," Darius said, surprising me. "Your life in the human city doesn’t have to stop."I blinked at him. "Then why bring me here at all? To force me to be your m
The Luna's Second Chance 93. Bought
Aurora’s Pov I stared blankly at my phone, as I read Lily's shocking revelations on the screen once again. Its been two weeks the article got published. It wasn't just the werewolf communities that were shaken. The human world reacted even more violently. The two worlds were in an uproar, and I couldn't blame them. The names of the Alphas running the clubs and trafficking rings had been exposed, and their human world businesses were being dismantled.I knew the impact this would have on them. The Alphas were respected businessmen in the human world, with reputations built on charm and deceit. Now, their empires were crumbling.The fallout was more massive than even I expected, the world practically caught fire immediately the news went live. News outlets plastered photos of the high-profile businessmen and Alphas with some VIP members including Lily’s picture. Thw Alphas companies had been seized. Their assets frozen. Their names dragged through the mud I couldn't even walk down th
The Luna's Second Chance 92. Distance Between Us
Darius's POV I sat behind my desk, my fingers drummed distractedly on the desk in of me. I was lost in thoughts of the events of the past few months from the moment Aurora and I had shared an intimate moment together. Four months.It had been four damn months since the weekend that she stormed out of my life like a hurricane, refusing to even look in my direction since then. I leaned back in my chair, the leather creaking under my weight, and closed my eyes. I let my mind replayed that disastrous weekend. I made the mistake of letting her find out she was my mate. What I heard feared did happened. She wasn't ready to know."Stupid Magnus,” I muttered. And then there was George’s call.It felt like yesterday when he had called me to inform me that Aurora had asked him to publish everything about Lily online through one of his trusted bloggers online. I could still remember gripping my phone so tightly I almost cracked it in two. I'd told her I would handle it but she doesn't trust
The Luna's Second Chance 91. Vengeance in Scrubs
Aurora’s Pov The weeks bled together in the sterile, bright lights of the hospital. My focus was only on work, learning, building connections. George had told me he will inform me when the news was ready to go live. He said he was working on making sure everything wasnt traced back to him and he was still digging on the VIP list. He didn’t give a timeline nor tell me why he was digging more into the VIP but I trusted him, Terra had assure me to trust him and until then, I immersed myself in my surgeries, finding solace in working and learning. At least while working here amidst humans no one cared about mate bonds or reincarnated wolves or much about my life.Here, I was just Dr. Aurora, the top-ranked resident trauma surgeon and that was more than enough for me.Until Kieran showed up one afternoon. I had just scrubbed out of a long, grueling emergency appendectomy when I saw him standing in the corridor, arms crossed and that usual arrogant look in his eyes.“What the hell are yo
The Luna's Second Chance 90. Awakened
Aurora’s Pov Mason dropped me off inftont of the hospital, it didn’t take long, Rachel appeared with her car to pick me. I needed somewhere to gather my thoughts and a friend to talk to which was why I had texted her to come. While she drove me to her pack, she didn't question me, Rachel could tell I needed the space and time to regather my thought. The moment I stepped foot into her room, I jumped onto the bed and I felt a calmness settle in my chest. She immediately served me a cold soda drink that sent chilly thrills down my stomach and afterwards I took a nap.A few hours later, I was awake, we sat cross-legged on her bed, a warm mug of tea in each of our hands, and I finally began to narrate everything that happened yesterday to today.The dinner, the appeal to spend the weekend with him, Magnus sudden appearance on my bed then the kiss, the sex and the shocking mate claim. My wolf, Terra, speaking to me for the first time. The conversation about reincarnated mates. The rejecti
The Luna's Second Chance 89. The Wolf Within
Aurora’s Pov When I heard the voice, I thought it was Darius calling me or he probably was outside at my doorstep but the voice sounded so unfamiliar, like it was mine and at the same time different. Then it came again, soft, and more distinct this time with a little force that seems powerful. It wasn’t echoing from the hallway or the room next door. It was then I realized it was from my mind.I froze mid-step, halfway into yanking my top over my head.“Aurora.”My hand trembled as I put on my shorts. I needed to get out of here but first what could it be? Was I going crazy and hearing voices just because I'd been hit with another betrayal?“What the hell…” I whispered, glancing around the room. “Aurora, listen.” I heard clearer.“Who said that?” I asked, shaking my head.“I did. Don’t be afraid.”My breath caught. My heart thundered in my chest. “Where are you?”“I’m here. Inside you. I always have been.”I shook my head, confused, my eyes darting around the room as if I’d somehow
The Luna's Second Chance Unleashed
Aurora’s Pov This was what I craved. What I needed. A reprieve from the anger and heartache, a chance to simply feel alive. My nipples were tight peaks beneath my top, sensitive and wanting for his touch. Darius’s lips were hot and firm against mine. He pulled me closer as his tongue teased mine. I moaned, my hands going through his hair as he deepened the kiss. It was like I’d been holding back for years, and it was finally time to let go. We were kissing each other like we were running out of time.I was panting from the intensity of everything. My skin was tingling, warm, flushed, and trembling. His breath ragged against my cheek, his scent suddenly wrapped around me. It was wild, beautiful and everything I hadn’t expected.His hands trembled when they touched me, like he couldn’t believe this was happening and honestly, neither could I.“Fuck, Aurora…” Darius breathed against my lips, breaking the kiss for only a second. “We need to stop.”“I could smell your arousal and I’m on
The Luna's Second Chance 87. Intentions
Aurora's POV Watching as he turned to leave the kitchen, he walked with nonchalant grace, his movements were swift, full of grace and virility. I had to fight the urge not to study his body when he pushed me against the kitchen counter earlier. When he left the room earlier, I noticed his shorts were tattered from shifting and I could tell it had skipped his mind. The good thing was that it wasn’t totally shredded or hanging by the threads. I would have gotten myself a good show of what was down there. I wouldn't say I wasn't curious to know.I couldn't study his body in the room since he was under the sheet but seeing him in the kitchen brought the mischievous side of me till he killed the vibe when he answered me with a serious tone that maybe he was in love with me. Sighing, I looked down at the plate of food untouched in front of me. I couldn’t eat. I stared at it, hoping my stomach will growl for it but my body had other plans. My heart was too busy racing, and my head were c
The Luna's Second Chance 86. Crossing the Line
Darius's POV I sat up instantly, cursing under my breath. “Magnus,” I growled silently. “What the hell did you do?”"You're welcome," my wolf purred smugly.“You took over. You came in here last night.”"You wouldn't. I had to meet her." He snapped at me.“You were supposed to stay put. I thought we agreed,” I hissed mentally.He didn't answer.Typical Magnus move. Whenever he does something impulsive, he vanishes when it was time to deal with the consequences.I ran a hand down my face and then glanced back at Aurora. Her long lashes rested on her cheeks, her hair splayed out over the pillow like waves of caramel and ink. I loved how peaceful she looked. Hating and loving what Magnus did at the same time. I stared at her with longing and how right it felt to be here beside her.I reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair away from her face and the moment my fingers grazed her skin, I felt it again.An electricity tingling sensation.It started at my fingertips and coursed throu
