[Viktor’s POV]

I found Sam waiting for me with a tablet in hand. His shoulders were tense as he looked at the screen. Noticing my presence, he bowed.

“What did you find?” I said, closing the door behind me.

"We searched every place where Luna Evelyn might be," Sam began, handing me the tablet with the reports on display. “Whichever she has been to with Alpha Matthew, or where she usually goes as told by Alpha. We’ve checked surveillance where possible, and interviewed every witness who remember

  • The Moon Marked Him As Mine   The Brewing Rift

    [Astoria’s POV]I barely remembered the journey back to the Estate. One moment I had been standing inside that dilapidated house, staring at Aria as they calmly told me that my mother would die if I didn't somehow obtain the Elixir, and in the next moment I was sitting in Vladimir's car with my hands clasped tightly in my lap while he drove through the dark streets.Neither of us spoke for several minutes, but the silence wasn't peaceful. My mind kept replaying everything that had happened, especially the way Aria's face had changed before my eyes and the horrifying certainty with which they had told me that I was Viktor's mate.I didn't know which part frightened me more the fact that they knew, the fact that Vladimir had apparently known enough to lie about it, or the fact that somewhere deep inside me, I had already suspected there was something between Viktor and me that I couldn't explain.“You lied to her,” I intoned, staring straight ahead.Vladimir's hands tightened slightly a

  • The Moon Marked Him As Mine   Dilapidated House

    [Astoria’s POV]I quietly dressed and slipped my phone into my pocket, making sure not to wake anyone. My mind was quiet, as if static was playing inside it.The corridors were almost completely silent when I stepped outside my room, and I felt a strange sense of guilt with every step I took toward the entrance. I knew I wasn’t betraying anyone; however, not telling Viktor was making me feel more nervous.Unbeknownst to me, Viktor having my back was all the safety net I needed.The address led me toward an older part of the city, far away from the polished streets where most of the wealthy residents lived.I found myself standing in front of a small, seemingly ordinary house tucked between two older properties. The curtains were drawn, the front garden was overgrown, and there wasn't a single vehicle parked outside.I stood there for almost a minute, wondering if I had finally lost whatever little common sense I possessed. My brain didn’t want to believe that this, out of all places,

  • The Moon Marked Him As Mine   Seek And You Shall Not Find

    [Viktor’s POV]My father was predictably in his study. He was standing with his back to the door, near the French window that looked out towards the garden. He looked leaner…more fragile and it made me halt at the doorway.I knew that dad had sensed my arrival, but he didn’t turn. This room once used to be a source of comfort. Whenever Vladimir or I came in, we would be greeted by my mom sitting in the couch that still remained in the exact place, by the small bookshelf that held her favorite titles.And now…it felt like a suffocating prison.“Do you have a moment to talk?” I asked, closing the door behind me.“About what?” His voice sounded grim…almost hopeless.“About the elixir,” I replied. “All this…kidnappings or disappearences are for that very reason. I am sure of it.”The last few words were spoken with suppressed anger.I watched Dad’s shoulder tense before he turned to finally look at me. His face was pale and his gaze was…nervous. I had never seen him look at me like that.

  • The Moon Marked Him As Mine   Dead Ends

    [Viktor’s POV]I found Sam waiting for me with a tablet in hand. His shoulders were tense as he looked at the screen. Noticing my presence, he bowed.“What did you find?” I said, closing the door behind me."We searched every place where Luna Evelyn might be," Sam began, handing me the tablet with the reports on display. “Whichever she has been to with Alpha Matthew, or where she usually goes as told by Alpha. We’ve checked surveillance where possible, and interviewed every witness who remembered seeing her."He slid several photographs toward me."There were no signs of struggle anywhere,” he continued. "No abandoned vehicle, no blood, no discarded belongings. It's as though she simply... vanished."I lowered my gaze to skim through the reports. I had complete faith on Sam when it came to investigations, so I didn’t need to double-check on the survelliance videos.Sam hesitated before taking the tablet and opening another report."We expanded the search beyond city limits after your

  • The Moon Marked Him As Mine   Duty over Desire

    [Viktor's POV]I rested my forehead against her shoulder, my breath ragged. My fingers flexed around her waist. I could feel her heart thumping in her chest, quick and erratic.Every instinct inside me screamed to keep her in my arms and forget everything else. But the reality wouldn’t allow me such luxury. Being an alpha, a son and…a woman’s ex-fiancé meant that I had to find answers and solve this crisis to ensure a better future.Slowly, I pulled away and cupped her cheek again. Her eyes were still slightly glazed from the kiss, her breathing slightly uneven, and seeing that vulnerable expression made my heart stutter. Her gaze conveyed so many things—she trusted me, and she was already responding to the bond even though she was a human.“Stay in here, and…don’t think too much,” I murmured, stroking my thumb against the soft skin of her cheek.She blinked several times before giving a tiny nod. Her cheeks were dusted with a faint tinge of pink. She averted her gaze, obviously takin

  • The Moon Marked Him As Mine   Illusion or Real

    [Astoria’s POV]“Morning." Matthew entered, interjecting our conversation.Viktor and I exchanged glances.Matthew looked as though he hadn't slept more than an hour. Dark circles shadowed his eyes, and the smile he offered everyone looked painfully forced.“Good morning,” I greeted nonetheless."Did you sleep well, Astoria?""I... managed," I answered honestly.His tired smile widened slightly. "I'm glad."Before he could say more, we heard footsteps and soon Aria walked in.Unlike yesterday, she wasn't smiling smugly nor did she have her arrogant stance.Instead, she moved with measured elegance before taking her seat opposite Matthew without even sparing him or us any glance.I frowned, noticing her subtly. That was odd. Did they have a fight? Or…what in the world happened that her behaviour was so different from today morning?Matthew quietly poured himself coffee, though I noticed he never once looked directly at Aria. I felt tiny bit happy because at least he hadn’t fogotten my

  • The Moon Marked Him As Mine   The Olive Branch

    Astoria’s POV]The morning of my mother’s wedding arrived with bright sun rays and a gentle breeze.After waking up, I simply lay there listening to the distant hum of preparation, guests talking and laughing, their voices muted and distant, and the muted footsteps in hallways.I rolled onto my sid

  • The Moon Marked Him As Mine   The Wedding Prep

    [Astoria’s POV]It was ironic and slightly comical how my mother, who was used to dictating and making people work for her, was having to explain things to someone.The realization made me happy rather than making me feel affronted.

  • The Moon Marked Him As Mine   Sparks And Tingles

    [Astoria’s POV]Unable to endure the weight of his gaze, I excused myself and made my way upstairs, maintaining composure until I reached my room. Only after closing the door did I allow myself to exhale a shaky breath.What the F was that all about? Why was he looking at me like…like I was some ki

  • The Moon Marked Him As Mine   Something I Shouldn’t Feel

    [Astoria’s POV]A part of me berated my thoughts earlier.It wasn’t like I was a wallflower. I had received a fair share of attention before, even after getting into a relationship with Shawn. I understood what certain looks meant, and Viktor had felt like that.Attention. Intense attention and may
