Lahat ng Kabanata ng Stronger Than Pain: From Beta To Luna: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

“Good day, miss!” My partner happily greets the entire neighbourhood as we patrol through the streets.I am the head of the Internal Security, an affiliate of the force who oversee protection of the pack’s borders. One of our main work is to patrol the neighbourhood around us to ensure safety.“At this point, you know the entire pack by their names.” I roll my eyes at Brandon who happily waves at another man passing by.“Come on, Beta. This is the best way to get inner information about the happenings in the neighbourhood. Friendliness pays off a lot.” Brandon says with a bright smile.At the end of the street, I notice a woman happily skipping down the streets with her toddler. A smile appears on my lips at the sight. I’m instantly reminded of Jayden in his early years.My smile is knocked off as Jonathan’s words replays in my head. Betas with no future. What baffles me the most was the disdain he used to spit those words. Almost like it was his worst nightmare for Jayden to end up b

“I care about my child more than you ever will!” Unable to control my emotions, I spat out with my glare directed at the Luna.“Have you lost your mind? Don’t you realise who you’re talking to?” Jonathan snapped at me for being rude.Ignoring them both, I bent down to Jayden’s height, meeting his silent but questioning eyes. He’s clutching onto the Luna as though she were his lifeline. My tone grows soft when I speak with him.“Jayden, tell Mommy what happened. What’s going on? Why didn’t you tell me anything about this?” I try to reach out for him but he yanks his hand away from me.I pause, confused by his reaction. He stares at me but his eyes are cold and unfamiliar–almost like he didn’t recognize me. What have they done to my son?“Answer me, Jayden!” I raise my voice slightly, frustrated at how everyone was against me like I’m the crazy one. “Can’t you stop being so aggressive in front of the child?!” Jonathan barked at me as Jayden hugged the Luna closely.I freeze, my heart f

I didn't even have the energy to gasp. My eyes shot wide open as I stared at Alpha Conan through the car's window, his big warm hand clamped on my mouth, stopping me from questioning. My heart pumped wildly, as images of Jonathan kissing Luna replayed over and over in my mind.I could hear my own heart shatter, piece by broken piece. How couldn't I have known? Of course I didn't. I had prided myself so much on being the perfect mother, with a perfect son and an even more perfect family, that I didn't realize that my family was slipping right through my fingers."She's not even his real mother." What the hell was she talking about? Memories of the day I gave birth to Jayden formed jarred pictures in my head. Everything happened smoothly, seamlessly, and I was convinced nothing went wrong. Besides, Jayden had his father's eyes, and my innocent looks.Or was it mine?Luna Samira was the queen of feigning innocence and sincerity, and it was only because of....her smile. My heart dropp

I didn’t move.Couldn’t move.Jonathan’s breath brushed my face. His hand was still on my waist. His other thumb lingered against my lip, gentle,too gentle. The kind of touch that once made me feel safe. Now, it made my skin crawl."I love you," he said again.And I almost laughed.All of a sudden?Love? Now?Now that you’ve called another woman your moon in secret messages? Now that our son believes she’s his “real mommy”? Now that you lie with your body and try to convince me with your lips?But I didn’t laugh. I swallowed it down like poison and nodded slowly, like I was trying to believe it too.“I know,” I whispered.He searched my face like he was trying to read something behind my eyes. Maybe he was trying to find the version of me that hadn’t seen that message. The version that hadn’t folded that damn drawing with shaking fingers. The woman he thought would always look the other way.But she was gone.“Dinner’s almost ready,” I said softly, slipping out of his arms like oil.He

Maya’s Pov“Did you hear what happened at Jayden’s school today?”Jonathan stiffens mid-step, his hand still gripping the fridge handle. His head tilts slightly before he glances over his shoulder at me. Calm. Controlled. But not fast enough to hide the flicker in his eyes.“No,” he says slowly, raising a brow. “I didn’t hear anything.”Liar.I take a step back, letting my hands sink into the warm soapy water, scrubbing a plate I’ve already washed twice. I keep my voice light, like I’m making small talk over coffee.“The principal called me today,” I say, rinsing the dish. “Said someone tried to pick up our son in the middle of class.” I pause. “Without my permission.”I let the venom drip into my voice this time. Acid sweet.Jonathan doesn’t miss it. But he still walks like he’s untouchable, grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge like he just finished a morning jog, not like he’s halfway to kidnapping our son.He takes a slow sip. His eyes meet mine over the rim, reading me. Calcu
