The Luna’s Second Life

Violetta POVI opened my eyes, and they were immediately hit by the bright rays of the morning sun. I stood there in shock as the entire incident replayed in my mind, and I didn't know how to react. I was even too shocked to move.It got me wondering if it was all a dream, but then again, a dream couldn't have felt so real. I could still feel the remnants of the pain I passed through, and I knew I'd probably never heal from that pain. I had met the moon goddess, and she'd given me another chance to right all the wrongs I went through, which was exactly what I planned to do.Glancing around the overly quiet surroundings, I realized I was standing at an entrance facing a crowd, and at a corner stood Nolan, clad in a black tuxedo, looking as stunning as ever. I looked down at my hands and found a bouquet, and then it hit me. It was my wedding day to Nolan Aristotle.Looking back, I recalled the incidents that happened on this same day three years ago. We got married, and he didn't mark m

Nolan POVRight after Violetta was taken away from the hall, I walked out and headed straight to my office. I vented my anger on my desk, completely shattering everything while sending them flying to several corners of the room."That bitch is unbelievable," Mother scoffed as she walked in with Carissa."This is what she always does, mother. She pretends to be the innocent of all when, truly, she's a venom. I couldn't speak ill of her because she's still my friend, and you might wonder what kind of friend speaks such evil things about her friend," Carissa said, a sad look plastered on her face."I knew there was nothing good about her to begin with. She's just a useless liability. She doesn't even have a wolf; how dare she pretend to be above the world?" Luna Theresa muttered furiously as she took a seat across my desk.I could feel two pairs of eyes boring into my skin, but I didn't spare them a glance. "Aren't you supposed to be teaching her some manners right now? Are you going to

Violette's POVAs I stared at Theodore, a wicked thought crossed my mind. I imagined Nolan’s face, frozen in shock, watching as I kissed his stepbrother. I would love to see that expression, but he’s not here yet. I felt a strange pull between us, like some invisible bond was drawing me closer. Something inside me tingled, alive and unfamiliar. But I wasn’t ready for that, and I wasn’t sure I ever would be.Still, one thing I knew for certain: I could never use him to get back at his brother. I might be vengeful, yes, but I’m not cruel like that. I know exactly how to make Nolan pay, and he will. But right now, I need to stop whatever awkward moment this is. I can't let Theodore catch on, not to the thoughts I just had. Not to anything.He was still staring at me, not with lust, not with pity, but with something heavier. Like he could hear the war inside me, like he could smell it on my skin. Werewolves could sense things. I knew that. But the way his eyes locked with mine, calm but p

Nolan POV I wasn’t running from Theo’s temper; I never do. I left that room because staying one more second would’ve ended in blood. And not mine.Frost Park was quiet, the air sharp and biting. I wasn’t here to find peace. I just needed to breathe without someone testing me.But of course, the universe had other plans.Carissa stood there, by the frozen fountain. Still. Like she was hoping the shadows would swallow her.Too late.I kept walking like she didn’t exist.“Nolan…”I stopped.Slowly turned my head.And stared.If looks could kill, she’d be bleeding at my feet.“I should kill you,” I said, my voice low. No emotion. Just a fact.She flinched.“You think I don’t know what you did? You think I’m stupid?” Her lips parted like she wanted to defend herself, but I didn’t give her the chance.“You killed my child.”Her eyes widened.“You framed Violetta.”I took a step closer.“You touched what you should’ve never touched.”Another step.“You broke what only I had the right to bre

Theodore’s POVShe wasn’t just angry.She was shaken.I could see it in the way she looked at me, like she was trying to put pieces together that didn’t fit. Like the world had twisted again beneath her feet.“How?” she whispered. “How are you…?” She didn’t finish it. Couldn’t. But I knew what she meant. How could you be my mate… after Nolan?Her voice held the question I’d asked the Moon Goddess a thousand times.“I thought we only got one,” she muttered, mostly to herself. “I thought…” I took a breath. My fists clenched. “You did. You had one.”Her eyes shot up. “But he broke the bond. When he hurt you, when you rejected him,” I stepped closer, slowly. “The Moon Goddess gave you another. A second chance.”She flinched.I didn't stop.“She chose me for you long ago. I knew. I kept it buried. Because I thought it would destroy you if you found out while you still had him.”The garden felt too still. Like even the air didn’t want to interrupt.“And the prophecy?” she asked, voice tight
