Violetta's POV

I left for the brook, taking the hilly side instead. The brook supplied the River Thebes, which provided the whole Silver Moon pack with water. It was a majestic rocky area, and I remember skipping my way through the dusty road path that most of the pack took.

Only when I had turned eight, the first year of my parents dying, did I discover the lonely hilly path. I would go close to dinner time, ensuring no one followed me, especially Carissa and her gang members.

As I went up the hill, using the stones as steps, my mind reflected on an incident from the past.

It was like I could hear our childish voices loud and out of my mind.

“Stop. Don't push me. I can't swim.”

“Pussy,” 8-year-old Carissa teased. “If you don't jump, I'm going to catch a frog and shove it into your mouth in your sleep.”

“Stop! I hate frogs,” I whined, already getting tearful.

“Oh, look at her. She's already crying. “Such a crybaby,” one of her minions teased cruelly, making me more watery.

  • The Luna’s Second Life   Chapter 66

    Nolan’s POVThe council chamber was heavy with heat, not from fire, but from the crushing weight of accusations thrown at me like daggers. The stone walls echoed with voices, sharp and demanding, as though they would squeeze the truth from me by sheer force. My jaw ached from grinding my teeth, my patience worn thin under the elders’ endless questioning.And then just then the doors creaked open.The sound alone seemed to slice through the chamber. The atmosphere shifted immediately; sharp whispers replaced open accusations. Heads turned in unison. It was as though a sudden wind had blown into the room, scattering the elders’ fire and leaving them breathless.For them, it wasn’t a pleasant surprise.For me, it was the idiom come alive: saved by the bell.Luna Theresa stepped in.“Greetings, Alpha. Elders,” she said with a poised courtesy bow, her voice calm yet layered with authority.But it wasn’t just her.Behind my mother came Carissa Orson.The last person I could have expected to

  • The Luna’s Second Life   Chapter 65

    Nolan's POV“Good morning, my love,” I heard Carissa’s light voice say. “I hope you slept well,” she said, smiling as she came closer, placing a hand on my arm. I brushed her off roughly.“I slept fine, Carissa,” I replied coldly, getting out of bed. It had been getting stranger and stranger, spending nights with Carissa. On some nights, I could barely remember anything that happened before I fell asleep, and I always woke up sore the next day.I sat back down on the bed, and Carissa shifted to where I was, placing both hands on my shoulder. “You sound tired,” she said, gently massaging my shoulders. Her hands were extra soft, and I couldn't deny how relaxing they felt against my aching shoulders.I closed my eyes, enjoying the moment as her hands moved to my arms and down.“You should lie back down. Your body seems to ache…all over,” she said, her soothing voice almost siren-like, luring me to her will.But just then a loud knock interrupted the moment. She rolled her eyes. “Do yo

  • The Luna’s Second Life   Chapter 64

    Theodore's POVI was surprised she actually got up to help me with the duvet.The faint lamplight cast shadows across the wooden walls of the healer’s cottage, and the faint crackle of the fire in the corner filled the silence. The air smelled faintly of herbs and simmering broth, grounding me in a space that felt too intimate for what my body craved at this moment.As she slid the duvet over me properly, her fingers brushed against my arm, and instinctively I grabbed her hand, pulling her closer to myself. She flinched, her breath turning shallow, each inhale quicker and sharper, betraying what words could not.“Are you ready to tell me what you're a lover of now?” I asked, my voice low, nearly a growl.Her chest heaved up and down, hair falling forward, covering half her face in a curtain of silken strands. The rest spilled down to her selvedge, strands swaying with each trembling breath. My eyes lingered. I bit my lower lip, more attracted to her than I dared admit aloud.“Uhhmm…”

  • The Luna’s Second Life   Chapter 63

    Violetta's POVI came out first, the door closing slowly by itself as I adjusted my coat. The furriness of it made me wonder what kind of coat it was and what it was made of. I don't think I am ready for that answer.“Be nice to her.”I heard Theodore say from inside. Caleb came out minutes after.“Let's go,” he said, brushing past me. As we approached the gate, a chariot pulled up in front of us.“Lord Theodore requested that we transport you by carriage, Miss Crescent.”“Oh wow. For just Miss Crescent?” Caleb asked with unrelenting sarcasm. I rolled my eyes.“For you both, Sir Caleb.”I said nothing, and for seconds none of us made a move.“Well, ladies first,” he said, with a hand gesture. The carriage attendant helped me into the carriage, and Caleb took the seat opposite mine.Soon, the horses were on the road to the Silver Moon graveyard. It was a long and silent ride, but finally, we got to the graveyard. I alighted from the chariot, and we took a long walk far into the grave

  • The Luna’s Second Life   Chapter 62

    Chapter 62Theodore's POVI woke up in the healer's tent. My head and my whole body were burning over 100 degrees. I opened my eyes, not even attempting to sit up.The healer pressed a cold cloth on my body.“You're awake.”I said nothing. My head felt heavy without me lifting it.“What happened to me?”The last thing I remembered was pink dust over me in the forest.I remembered the figure in the cloak, but her face was blurry now. Worse still, I remembered her with a strong feeling of familiarity.“You were found almost gone in the forest. Fighting for your life basically. I should be asking you what happened in the forest”“I …”The images flashed in my head. “Argh!”, I responded to the sharp pain. “Calm down. You don't have to remember it now.”“I chased someone down. I don't seem to be able to remember who it was but…”I paused. The image was still blurry even when she looked back.Or had I just been hallucinating?“I think she may be one of us. I knew I was shocked because she

  • The Luna’s Second Life   Chapter 61

    Carissa's POV I didn't like the chill that came with her voice.“What are they?” I asked in response. “Mysteries are unexplainable occurrences experienced by our ancestors. One of them is called Carvo Aqueto.”“What's that?”I was getting a very unsettling and eerie feeling from the way she spoke, but I didn't dare question her behavior or why her voice was unusually calm.“The mystery says that a wolf could harness so much power it could trap its human form for life.”I shook my head, not wanting to believe my ears.“That's impossible.”“Oh, it is very possible,” she said, her eyes wider than an owl’s. Like they were about to pop out of her eye sockets.“Especially with our good friend Violetta. That's why I need you to be on watch. You will monitor her every move. Any sign of her getting stronger, you report to me. Then at the right time, we feed her.”Her evil grin unnerved me, and immediately she took her eyes off the bottle; it was like she was a totally different person.“That
