All Chapters of His Reluctant Luna: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"You straight?"A voice cut through my thought, getting me back to the wake of reality.Looking up, my eyes met a gorgeous clearskinned woman. Pretty eyes, full lips, full curls and all.She looked kind, but she was still a stranger."Yeah." I said non-committal, going back to nurse the rum and coke I'd long ordered.The Randy club was fully packed with warm bodies, strobe lights and the addictive smell of cologne and alcohol. In other words, everywhere was abuzz with life and may I add, hot.However, I was dead cold.Cold and alone as I stared at him get cozy with two blondes who in return, were all up on him.Funny how he'd done this over and over again and all I had to do was suck it all up like a champ.He said it helped him cope with his sanity whenever we argued and I'd given him a go-ahead order because in the end, he always found his way back to me.But that didn't help the bitter feeling that was engraved in my heart anytime my eyes met him.It was gut wrenching and degrading

Are you sure you can't stay for one more day Ava?" Aiden's voice was calm yet, his eyes was sending bolts of raw emotions my way. I shook out the thought. "I really can't. I have a test tomorrow." I offered him a small smile. "And besides, I've been freeloading so much. I can't take your kindness for granted." "Nonsense." He disagreed calmly. "I'm not complaining Ava. And as for your test, I could drive you to school the next day. As early as you want." Seriously, the offer as tempting as it sounded didn't hinder my sensible thoughts from surfacing. I was finding it a little hard focusing, in Aiden's presence. It felt like my senses were all at alert. Each eye contact, each brush of our skin always set my body on fire. I felt such strong pull to him that felt maddening and safe at the same time. Something old Avalon Tanner would have taken advantage of. She would have trusted him easily along with the overwhelming feelings, add the part that he'd saved her from being a possible

I swallowed. Not missing the innuendo in his words. God, it sounded quite tempting in my ears and overall.What would it take to completely let go and surrender to Aiden. Even if it was a one time thing? Sure it wouldn't hurt that much.But then senses kicked in. It was barely days since my unofficial split with Scott. That was a lesson learned the hard way and I'd be damned to take another one.I shook out the thoughts. Going back to watching Aiden who now worked quietly. Like he noticed my internal dilemma and was giving me space to sort my shit.Maybe in another life or another time. I would completely lose myself in someone like Aiden. Scott had given me a wake-up call. All promises and words could mean a lot when they were all vain words to the person saying them.And nothing hurt more than that. Knowing you were lied to, constantly and had fallen for a well crafted lie. Even the pieces of your broken heart were unable to be picke

He too looked over six feet and more as he towered over the people he passed.For once, I felt myself feel a little relieved when I saw the casual look on his face."Layla?" He called when he got to where we stood, enveloping Layla in a tight hug that lasted for a few minutes."How is he?" Layla inquired and I noticed his hands were still around her and he had a soft and warm expression on his face."How are you?" Asher asked instead.Layla shrugged. "How I'm feeling isn't that important Ash. How's my brother.""The bullets have been taken out." He informed, while I let out a relieved breath. "There's only one silver bullet," he further informed, causing Layla's eyes to widen in horror."A silver bullet?!" She almost screamed. Causing my insides to react in alarm too. I hardly understood what was happening. But I knew what he just uttered meant that Aiden was probably in danger."Calm down love. It's been tak

I felt it before I could open my eyes.  Someone was staring at me. I stilled in bed, by head nestled in the billowing pillows.My heart began beating wildly. With the series of nightmares I had last night and my constant inability to properly sleep, I felt I was yet in another nightmare. I still felt the eyes on me which urged me to find out who."Ava?" The familiar voice called and I stilled again.It can't be.He can't be the one calling my name in this very room.But then I sat up and was met by his face.Aiden was sitting by my bedstand, looking at me.Wide eyed and confused, a scream tore through my mouth before I could process things.Aiden was quick to come to the bed. "Are you okay Ava? What's wrong? Are you hurt?"I recoiled, moving away from him.How was it possible that Aiden was in the room before me. Looking like yesterday's incident never happened.Was I really dreaming?"A
