Nora, you are serving tonight, right?”

The voice cut through the kitchen noise like a knife.

I froze, the wooden spoon heavy in my hand. The fire hissed, pots bubbled, the smell of roasted venison filled the air, but all of it dimmed the moment I heard that sharp voice.

I turned my head slowly. Of course, it was her.

The head chef.

She stood in the middle of the kitchen as if she ruled it, her apron spotless even though the rest of us were covered in flour, sweat, and the smoke of the hearth. Her chin tilted high, her eyes narrowed slightly, always watching for mistakes. She was only in her early thirties, but in wolf years, that was still young, still full of strength. She carried herself like a queen trapped in a kitchen, like this place wasn’t worthy of her but we all had to worship her anyway.

“Yes, ma,” I replied quickly, keeping my voice even.

Her lips curved, but the smile didn’t touch her eyes. “Be careful while serving tonight,” she said, tilting her head to one side. “We hav

  • The luna’s misery   Chapter 71

    Jack’s POV“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice already sharp with frustration.Sean stood in front of me like he belonged here. Like this was his office. Like he hadn’t just walked in at the worst possible moment. My jaw tightened as I stared at him.This guy is really getting on my nerves.How dare he barge into my office without permission? How dare he interrupt me now of all times? My head was already spinning, my wolf already restless, and the last thing I needed was Sean’s playful attitude.“Relax,” Sean said with a grin, completely unbothered. “Why are you attacking me, Alpha?”I clenched my fists.I turned away from him before I said something I couldn’t take back. I walked straight to the bar shelf, grabbed the whiskey bottle, and poured myself a glass without bothering to measure. The liquid splashed against the glass as I poured.I need to calm down.Everything today has gone wrong.Nora’s face flashed in my mind. The way she looked when she walked past me. The disa

  • The luna’s misery   Chapter 70

    “Why do you keep doing this?” I asked, my voice coming out softer than I intended, almost breathless.Jack was standing too close. Too close for my heart. Too close for my sanity.His body was right in front of mine, tall, broad, blocking my escape without even trying. The space between us was gone, completely erased. I could feel his heat, his scent, his presence pressing into me like a silent warning. My back brushed against the desk behind me, and I swallowed hard, trying to steady myself.Why does he do this?One moment he looks at me like I’m nothing. Like I don’t exist. Like I’m just another body walking around his pack. And the next moment, he traps me like this, touches me like this, looks at me like I belong to him.Does he think I’m weak?Does he think I’ll always be here no matter how he treats me?Those cold gazes of his haunt me. They creep into my chest at night when I’m alone, making me wonder what I did wrong. Making me question myself. Making me ask the Moon Goddess w

  • The luna’s misery   Chapter 69

    “Come in,” Raven’s voice echoed softly from inside the room, calm but carrying that authority that made me obey immediately. I hesitated at the threshold for a moment, letting my nerves settle. I had no idea what I was walking into, but I knew I had to face it. Whatever it was, I couldn’t run from it anymore.“You finally come around, Luna.” Raven’s lips curved into a small, knowing smile. But the way she said it… it wasn’t warm, it wasn’t comforting. It carried weight, like she already knew exactly why I was here.Luna. That name felt strange on my tongue. Luna, when Jack, my mate, hadn’t even claimed me yet. Why was she calling me that now? I pushed the thought aside, reminding myself that this was not why I had come.I walked in slowly, my hands trembling slightly as I followed her gesture toward a chair. She motioned for me to sit, and I obeyed, my legs heavy, my body tired from everything, the dreams, Sophie, the border, the confusion.“I had a very terrible dream about someone t

  • The luna’s misery   Chapter 68

    I shut the door behind me and let out a long, shaky breath. A normal, modern door… but somehow even that small noise felt loud in my head.Everything around me feels twisted.Distorted.Unfair.My own world… why is it different? Why does it feel like everything wakes up each morning just to fight me?Why are they tormenting me?I grabbed my water bottle like someone who had been walking through a desert for years and gulped it down so fast it almost choked me.Sophie’s words kept ringing in my head.“My mother…”Who is her mother? Why is everyone talking in riddles? First Raven… now Sophie… witches and their cryptic mouths.Too many questions.No single answer.I sat at the edge of my bed, staring at the ticking clock. It was already 12 p.m., and I hadn’t eaten anything today. My body felt empty, but my mind was heavier than a mountain.I dragged myself into the bathroom.The mirror punished me immediately.I saw the lowest version of myself.Eyes swollen.Skin tired.Soul exhausted.

  • The luna’s misery   Chapter 67

    Nora POVThe past few days have been draining, confusing, and honestly… terrifying.I have been having the same type of dream over and over again.Not the normal kind of dream where you wake up and forget it after some minutes.No.These ones were heavy, dark, and too real to ignore.Every night, Sophie appeared.Every night, she said something new.Every night, I woke up sweating, shaking, and gasping for air like someone was choking me inside the dream.And the crazy part?The dreams felt more real than the real world.After what happened in Jack’s room, the black smoke, the way I passed out, the way Raven talked in confusion and mystery—I knew something was wrong. But instead of going to see Raven like Jack told me, I kept pushing it aside. I kept telling myself it would fade. I kept pretending nothing was happening.But the truth is…I was scared of what I would hear.And because of that fear, my nights became so bad that I started sneaking into Jack’s room just to sleep.I don’t

  • The luna’s misery   Chapter 66

    Nora’s POVThe sun was already blazing when I reached the training ground. The air smelled like grass, dust, sweat, and something warm from the morning breeze. Lara stood beside me, laughing at something Leo said, while I stretched my legs slowly, trying to wake my body up.I was still tired from yesterday, my head felt light, my body weak in some parts, but I didn’t want to complain. I didn’t want anyone to think I wasn’t okay. Especially not Jack.“Move your hands higher,” Lara teased, pushing my elbow lightly. “You look like an old woman trying to do yoga.”“Shut up,” I rolled my eyes, stretching harder.Leo laughed. “Both of you talk too much. If Jack comes here and sees this your gossip face, he’ll send you to run around the mountain.”Before I could respond, Leo’s face changed. His eyes shifted toward the entrance of the field.I didn’t need to ask why. I already knew that presence.That quiet tension. That command in the air like the wind obeyed him.Jack.He walked into the tr
