Violetta's POV

My whole face was covered in shock.

“What?!”

“She never told you?”

I shook my head in disbelief.

“That can't be right. No way.”

“No way,” she said, shaking water out of her hands and into the sink.

“That… that can't be true. It was just a silly rumor.”

Yeah. And one that made me the laughingstock of my age group.

“A silly rumor that was true. Very true.”

“It can't be true!” I exclaimed. I just didn't want it to be.

“But it is,” she said calmly, not minding that I had raised my voice.

“That can't be right. I don't believe it.”

“Then you're not ready for the truth.”

“That's not the truth,” I retorted sharply. I immediately apologized.

“I'm sorry. I just… I can't believe that. That rumor ruined my life.”

“You can't or you don't want to?” she asked, looking at me intensely. My eyes darted to the floor. Her eyes made me uncomfortable.

I didn't have an answer.

“If you can't accept something as simple as that, then you won't accept it if I tell you that your mother and I w

  • 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

  • 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

  • The Luna’s Second Life   Chapter 59

    Violetta's POVI closed my eyes, trying to push my tears back. That wasn't enough.“What about the others? What about other people who may try to hurt me? I'm useless at protecting myself. Caleb was right. Caleb is right. I attract doom everywhere I go.”The tears came down my cheek. “Hey.”His hands moved my head slowly so I faced his direction. He came closer, caressing my right cheek with his thumb. My heart started racing again, and I felt hot from his touch immediately. I could hear my wolf purring, savoring the ethereal moment between us.“Listen.”His voice was deep but light, and I stared as intently as he stared back.“Caleb is wrong. You’re special. You just need time to harness your abilities.”“I don't even have a wolf.”“Shh,” he said, placing his middle finger on my lips. I melted inside.“Everyone has a wolf. It will come around someday. I know it will.”I shook my head, taking his hand off me. “No, I don't want to someday. I want it now, and I need you to help me.”“He
