Nolan's POV

“Luna Theresa will see you now,” the maid said to me, turning to take me to my mother's chambers. The solid gold doors opened to her chambers, and I couldn't be any less in awe. Everything, from the architecture to the interior design and decor, screamed luxury and royalty. Should I have expected less? No. It was my mother, Luna Theresa.

She lived a bit far from the palace provinces in a lavishly furnished antique castle, east of the provinces of the SilverMoon pack.

She was still in her morning haven when I came in, the air thick with the scent of her favorite Valda candles.

She glanced over her shoulder and smiled, putting down the stick slowly.

“Son… To what do I owe this lovely visit?”

I looked at the maid so she'd know I needed us to be excused.

“Vierra, you are excused,” my mother said to her, dusting out the light spark in her other incense stick. The maid bowed and left immediately.

I waited for seconds to confirm we were alone.

  • 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…”

    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

    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

    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

  • The Luna’s Second Life   Chapter 60

    Violetta's POV By noon, the healer wasn't back yet. I had questions for her, which explained why I was making frequent visits to her tent.I exhaled; coupled with that, I was also cold. On my way to Theodore's room, I heard a voice from one of the rooms that made me stop. I took a few steps back. There was a small space on the door where the voice, or scratch that, voices, were coming from.I stood at the far end of the door, where it was attached to the wall, pressing myself against it to listen.I didn't know who Nolan was talking to, but the voice responding was lighter and familiar, like a woman's.“Why did you go back to her? You don't think I am Luna material enough for you?”“It's not that. This is about the prophecy, ok? My mum is hell-bent on getting an heir from Violetta.”I gasped. So that was her motive? That was why she wanted me to take Nolan back so badly.“So what? You're going to go on your knees and beg her. An Alpha like you.”“Enough!” Nolan exclaimed. “I'm done w
