Lucas’s POV

I sat there, still as stone, yet inside me everything was unraveling. My wolf clawed at the edges of my control, snarling and restless, demanding that I acknowledge what it already knew. The pull toward her was undeniable, it burned through my veins like fire licking dry wood.

But I couldn’t give in. I couldn’t let myself drown in it.

Every glance at her only made it worse. Yvonne. Even her name in my mind carried weight, a sweetness that twisted into agony the longer I lingered on it. I gritted my teeth, fists curling beneath the table where she couldn’t see. My wolf howled, eager to leap, eager to claim—but I refused.

No. Not here. Not now.

I reached for another biscuit, chewing slowly as though the simple act could silence the storm inside me. My jaw ached from holding it so tight, from resisting the urge to look at her too long. Still, my eyes betrayed me, flicking up to watch as she moved across the room.

  • You rejected your Luna: One Chance is all you Get.    Chapter 173

    Yvonne’s POVI sat up in bed, my mind restless even though my body craved the silence of sleep. It was useless trying to force it. The night had been heavy with thoughts, the kind that clawed at the corners of your chest until your lungs felt too tight to breathe.And then—like a low spark inside me—I felt it. My wolf jolted. A sudden, unwarranted leap, the kind that only happened when…“No…” I whispered under my breath, clutching at the sheets as though I could strangle the thought before it blossomed.But the sensation was unmistakable. My wolf had responded to his presence. To Lucas.I closed my eyes, willing the pulse inside me to steady. The possibility of it—of him being my mate—was like fire licking against dried leaves. Tempting, fierce, terrifying. And yet I couldn’t bring myself to accept it. Not him. Not now.The quiet of my quarters shattered when I turned and found him there. Standing. Silent. Watching me in that rigid, stiff way he always carried himself.“Lucas?” I blin

  • You rejected your Luna: One Chance is all you Get.    Chapter 172

    Lucas’ POVThe moment her head turned, I knew I had made a mistake.Yvonne’s eyes, sharp even under the dim candlelight, landed on me before I could slip away. I turned my back almost immediately, hoping the shadows would swallow me whole, but it was too late. She had already recognized me. I could feel the weight of her stare pressing against my shoulders like fire.“Lucas?” Her voice was laced with disbelief, but underneath it burned something hotter—anger.My throat went dry, and I clenched my fists by my side. I wanted to vanish, to melt into the stone walls of her chamber, but that wasn’t an ability I had. All I had was my shame and a heart that wouldn’t calm itself.I heard the rustle of fabric behind me. She was pulling her gown back over her shoulders in quick, irritated motions. Her frustration filled the room like a storm.“What are you doing here?” she demanded, her tone sharp. “Why would you just walk into my room at such a time?”Her words cut into me, and yet I couldn’t

  • You rejected your Luna: One Chance is all you Get.    Chapter 171

    Lucas’ POVI woke abruptly in the middle of the night, breath ragged, my heart thumping as though I had been dragged out of some nightmare. But there was no dream to remember. Just confusion. Just the heavy weight pressing down on my chest that refused to let me rest.For a long while, I simply lay there, staring into the darkness of my chamber. My hand gripped the sheets tightly, as though it could anchor me, but it didn’t. The silence was thick, almost suffocating, and yet in my head, it was anything but quiet. Thoughts clashed against each other, pieces of memory tugging at me until my temples began to throb.It had been days since Selena’s return, and every hour since then had been unbearable. I had been kept busy, so busy that I hardly had a chance to breathe. Meetings, duties, responsibilities—all of them pushed into my hands as though to distract me from the truth of her presence. But distractions only worked for so long. Deep down, I knew why my chest ached the way it did.I h

  • You rejected your Luna: One Chance is all you Get.    Chapter 170

    Laura’s POVI sat there on the edge of my bed for a long time, staring at nothing in particular. The silence in the room weighed heavily, broken only by the faint crackling of the lantern light burning low on the wall. My hands were still trembling slightly, though I tried to hide it by knotting them together in my lap. I had thought I could summon courage tonight, that I could walk up to Gunner’s study, knock firmly, and finally spill the truth I had buried so long inside me.But I had failed. Again.The truth still sat inside my chest like a stone I couldn’t cough out, and instead of speaking to the man I longed for, I had faced his Beta. And now… now the fear inside me had multiplied.The way he stood there, eyes sharp and unyielding, his voice dripping with authority though he wasn’t even the Alpha—it rattled me more than I dared admit. He had cornered me so easily, storming into my room without hesitation, and though I was supposed to be strong, supposed to be bold enough to face

  • You rejected your Luna: One Chance is all you Get.    Chapter 169

    Laura’s POVI stood before the mirror far longer than I should have, staring at a reflection that felt like a stranger’s. My hair was combed neatly, my gown tied without a wrinkle, yet I hardly recognized the woman who looked back at me. There was a tightness in my chest, a weight pressing down on my shoulders, one that no adjustment of fabric or posture could ease.Tonight, I had made a decision.Enough of hesitation. Enough of circling around my fears and suffocating within them. I would speak. I would tell Gunner everything, whether he wished to hear it or not. His reaction, his anger, his silence—none of it mattered anymore. I would not stop until my heart was emptied before him.The thought alone gave me a strange mix of dread and relief, like a prisoner bracing for both punishment and freedom.Taking in a deep breath, I wrapped my shawl tighter around my arms and left my chamber.The corridor was dim, lit only by a few candles that flickered uneasily against the draft. The silen
