The Moon Marked Him As Mine The Second Choice
[Vladimir’s POV]The first thing I noticed when Viktor came downstairs from Astoria’s bedroom was her scent clinging to him.It was no longer the faint trace I had occasionally caught whenever they stood too close to each other. It was stronger now, unmistakable, woven into the familiar scent of my brother, and beneath it lingered the unmistakable sweetness of a newly acknowledged bond.Astoria had accepted him despite everything.My wolf stirred restlessly inside me, its displeasure rolling through my chest until I had to curl my fingers into fists to keep my wolf from surfacing and my expression unchanged.Viktor looked annoyingly composed for a man who had just kissed the woman his younger brother had claimed as his mate in front of a dangerous creature. His hair was slightly disheveled, and there was a faint flush around his neck, but he carried himself with the same authority he had worn since childhood.The difference was that, for once, I wanted to wipe that self-satisfaction o
The Moon Marked Him As Mine Bargaining
[Astoria’s POV]The heavy thud of Viktor’s footsteps echoed against the polished hardwood as he hauled me down the hallway.His arm was a steel band wrapped around my waist, his shoulder digging into my stomach while I hung upside down, my hair brushing his thighs. When he confronted us and Vladimir told all that to him, he had acted that way, simply picked me up like I was a sack of potatoes."Viktor, put me down!" I gasped, grabbing the back of his shirt as blood rushed to my face. “What has gotten into you?”He didn't reply. He merely answered with a low growl that set every nerve ending in my body on fire. He shoved my bedroom door open, stepped inside, and kicked it shut behind him. The lock clicked into place with terrifying finality.I let out a gasp, my heart hammered in my chest.He unceremoniously lowered me to my feet, but before I could regain my footing, his hands slammed against the door frame on either side of my head, trapping me against the solid wood.His eyes were d
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 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
The Moon Marked Him As Mine The Other Brother
[Astoria’s POV]I found myself in a sleek black car, the model was high-end, which spoke enough about The Romeros’ status.The car had been discreetly parked so as not to draw attention to strangers.The warmth of the car was almost overwhelming after the cold night air. A chauffeur had put in my s

[Astoria’s POV]For a few moments, I just stared at him.Looking for me? What did he mean?I looked at his outstretched hand holding the coffee cup. While the beverage would help, I wasn’t going to take it from a random starnger no matter how handsome he was.“Uh? Why?” I asked reluctantly.The man
The Moon Marked Him As Mine The Night it All Fell Apart
[Astoria’s POV]I had always imagined that when my heart breaks, it would be loud, with me being hysterical. I hadn’t imagined it to be draining and some what relieving.That evening, I was exhausted. Work had taken out every ounce of energy from me, and all I wanted was to return home, change into
