Lahat ng Kabanata ng SECRETS OF MY DARK LUNA: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

DORA It’s been two days, yet I haven’t seen Jasper. I looked in the mirror and stared at the blue-eyed girl with wet dark hair, wrapped in a towel. Her scars had begun to fade, and her hollow cheeks had started filling out nicely. Thanks to The Reeds, who made sure all I do is wake, eat, sleep, and shower. It feels so unnatural, and yet I wouldn’t trade this peace for the world. I just wish I was able to share it with Jasper. Gods. Is he still mad at me? Is he punishing me for not telling him about my former pack’s tradition? I sighed, taking a comb to brush my wet hair. I just wish I knew where he spends his nights. Was he really at the office or in the arms of another? I wish I knew the answer to everything. Minutes later, I was changed into a yellow sundress Angel bought for me, courtesy of Jasper, and headed downstairs for breakfast. The moment I reached the landing, I heard an awful smell like food burning, and I traced it to the kitchen. Getting there, I found a disgru

JASPER “Can I come and pick her for a trip to the shopping mall?” Angel asked cheerfully, making me wince again. “Dora will need the perfect dress and makeover.” “Yes, okay. Fine.” I pinched the bridge of my nose, giving my sister the go ahead, just so she could stop giving me a migraine but I noticed Raven was real quiet and that had me a bit concerned. Was I too harsh on her at the restaurant? At some point, we would have to talk and sort things out. Glancing at Dora, I discovered she had finished her meal but stared at the last piece of turkey sandwich left. “You want more?” I asked, reaching for it. Dora raised her sad gaze to mine and shook her head. “No. I just remembered a time when a sandwich was a luxury I had to steal.” She smiled bitterly. Taking her hand in mine, I planted a kiss on the back of it. “Things must have been really hard for you back then but I promise you won’t have to steal to survive anymore. Expect many more sandwiches to come, okay?” I kissed

DORA “What’s going on here?” Angel appeared at my side, and when she saw Anita, she looked at her from head to toe. “Who is this, Dora?” I opened my mouth to speak, but my tongue felt like lead, and my throat suddenly went dry. Anita smirked. “What? Cat got your tongue?” Then she turned to Angel. “You must be Alpha Reed’s sister. So let me do the honours of introducing myself. Hi.” She stretched forth her hand for a handshake. “My name is Anita Hernandez, Alpha Campbell’s fiance.” She raised her left hand to show us a sparking diamond ring. Angel looked at her hand but refused to shake it. Instead, she turned to me with concern in her eyes, “Are you okay?” I was not okay. The world seemed to be shrinking around me, making the air too tight and too thin to breathe. My heart pounded violently in my chest, each beat like a fist pounding against a locked door. It was like I was trapped inside my own body, and no matter how much I tried to gasp for air, nothing seemed to fill my lu

JASPER Eventually, Alpha Campbell caved in first and told his men to stand down. Then I mindlinked mine to stand down as well. “The Luna is my past,” Alpha Campbell said, holding hands with his fiance. “Anita is my future. I’d like for you to respect that, Alpha Reed, and respect my woman.” We stared at each other for a moment. “What an ass.” Lupus muttered before going back to sleep. “Of course.” I smiled. “I’d also like for you to extend that respect to Dora. She’s now a part of my pack, and I will tolerate no disrespect towards her.” Although he didn’t seem too pleased, Alpha Campbell nodded in agreement. “Of course.” Afterwards, he signalled for Anita and his men to disperse much to Anita’s visible displeasure. I, as well, signalled to Dora and Alice to continue their shopping along with their security. Dora hesitated, but I gave her an assuring nod before she followed after Angel. As I stood beside Alpha Campbell, we watched our women meet at a certain aisle and give

JASPERSmiling, I closed the little distance between us and captured her lips with mine. As I leaned in, the world seemed to slow down. My heartbeat thudded in my chest, but the moment I felt her lips against mine, everything else faded. Her lips were soft, like the lightest touch of velvet, warm and delicate. I barely dared to press any harder, afraid to break the gentle connection we’d just made.I moved slowly, savoring the sensation, tasting the sweetness of her breath mingling with mine. It wasn’t about passion or urgency—it was something deeper, something that felt like a promise. My hand moved to cup her cheek, the softness of her skin under my fingertips making me want to hold her closer, yet still, I kept the kiss light, tender.The way she responded, the slight tilt of her head, the sigh against my lips, made my chest tighten. It was as if we were sharing a secret that only we understood. I wanted to memorize this moment, this simple, perfect softness, knowing that no words
