All Chapters of The Human Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

It seems like something is bothering Xavion during breakfast, so I do the unthinkable and reach out to his shoulder to soothe him. He slightly jumps at my sudden action but quickly relaxes in my touch."I'll talk with my colleagues on Monday," I whisper in his ear as he slithers his hands around my waist to hug me from behind.Xavion perks up at my statement and drops his head on my shoulder with a smile, clearly content with my words."How about we all do something fun together to get to know each other? I broadcast to the rest of the visitors. "The city doesn’t have much, but I’m sure we can come up with something.""I love that," Tasia says immediately. "Otherwise, I’ll faint from being in such close proximity to my brother for much longer." Jay, unfazed, grabs another piece of toast."Or we could just leave those two alone," Rae suggests with a cheeky grin, nodding towards Xavion and me."I don't mind," Kao shrugs and continues with his food."Yeah, the alpha is actually scaring me

"This is it," Xavion says, spreading his arms out to show the massive house hidden on an unregistered road behind the mountains. It's been a few days since the rogue appeared, and between Xavion and me, we found a middle ground as to when to leave."Woah," is all I manage to get out upon seeing the small thriving village, unknown to the whole world except for these very people who live in it."It's nice, isn't it?" Royce suddenly speaks up, making me slightly jump at his appearance."Sorry," he apologises upon seeing my reaction, and Xavion pulls me to his side before I can respond."They've already prepared an extra room for you," Xavion clutches my waist as he leads me to the biggest cabin.I wave to the bystanders when we pass them on the dirt road.He takes me to the second floor of the cabin and down the hall to the left."Here, make yourself at home," he gestures to an open door. The room inside is quite spacious and has that typical cabin vibe. A large bed sits in the middle, d

"Ah!" I yelp as a werewolf toddler launches himself onto my back while I’m sitting cross-legged on the carpeted floor."Jackson, wait!" I panic, preparing to gently catch him as he scrambles over my shoulder, clearly wanting to leap dramatically into my lap. We tumble together, landing in a heap. I twist mid-fall to make sure Jackson lands on me and not the floor.I exhale sharply, wind knocked out of me, but relief floods in when I see Jackson sprawled across my stomach, giggling like it’s the best ride he’s ever had."Jackson!" Maggie scolds the young boy from across the room. The boy jumps, startled, and bolts off without a second thought, leaving me breathless and flat on the floor.Another face pops up above me, her long hair tickling my face. The 6-year-old-looking girl offers me a smile and I try to genuinely smile back, but I'm sure the pain is preventing me from doing so.She waves at me before running off, and I groan while pulling myself into a sitting position and notice t

"Can we talk now?" I ask Xavion, the wooden beams on the ceiling filling me with immense boredom."Mhm," he nods but doesn't move from his position by my side."Xavion," I warn him with a stronger tone, hoping it gets through to him. It does."I know, I know. I'm sorry," he almost jumps up at the sudden urge to comfort me, my voice having more of an effect on him than I thought.He caresses my cheeks with his large hands and the roughness of his hands with the gentleness of his touch throws me off guard for a moment but I regain my composure. I lean into his touch to let him know I'm not going to throw a fit and he seems to relax a bit at my calmness."I understand you are protective of me, but you have to talk to me so I can understand you better. I can't feel your feelings, unlike you," I softly advise him, remembering I'm human in a pack full of werewolves.I don't let the reminder discourage me because I don't want Xavion to go through another moping session."I was scared. So scar

The cabin greets me with silence. Not the kind I used to love, the peaceful kind, where the kettle hummed and Python curled up on the windowsill. This silence felt heavier. Like something had been left behind.I step inside, boots thudding softly against the wooden floor. Python meows once, a low, throaty sound, and pads over with slow dignity. He rubs against my leg, tail flicking with silent affection.“I missed you too,” I whisper, the words echoing in the cabin. For years, it was just me and Python, but now the place feels hollow.I crouch down to scratch the cat behind his ears, letting my fingers sink into his thick fur. He purrs loudly, making a smile etch onto my face. "You hungry?" I ask Python, trying to distract myself. It doesn’t help. Thoughts keep circling as I watch him leap onto the counter, tail swishing.Tomorrow I have to go back to work. Back to my regular life. Back to pretending everything is normal.But I don’t feel normal anymore. Somehow, Xavion has become p
