Lahat ng Kabanata ng RETURN OF THE LUNA: RECLAIMING HER BACK: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Clark POV“s**t!" The word slipped out before I could stop it. My trembling hands held two striped pregnancy tests, each screaming the truth I couldn't ignore. I was pregnant. Pregnant for the Alpha of this pack. I should’ve felt joy, but all I could muster was dread. Even though Lucian was my mate, he was bound to another—the one destined to be crowned Luna. His chosen mate, Sarah. The tests trembled in my grasp as I thought of her. Sarah hated me with passion. To her, I was a threat, a constant reminder of Lucian’s defiance against their arranged future. He flaunted me openly, declaring to her face that he would never truly accept her. But Sarah was relentless, channeling her fury into every cruel word and deed directed my way. She was waiting outside the bathroom now, likely tapping her heel impatiently against the floor. Any moment, she’d barge in. My pulse quickened. I needed to hide these tests—fast. I wasn't even able to move an inch before the door swung open. “What’s

CLARK POV Constant buzzing and noise, a cacophony of chaotic thoughts, followed by silence. *‘I, Alpha Lucian Pascal, hereby banish you from this pack. I never want to see you anywhere near me or my pack again. I also accept your rejection—you now cease to be my mate.’*‘Oh, because you wanted him to be yours, right? No, he’s mine and mine alone. No one else can have him, not you… not your unborn bastard… Do you hear me?’*‘Listen to me, Clark. You’re the only woman I seek, and I would never let you go. I promise to never misunderstand you. I will always listen to you, trust you, and be your confidant.*‘You are nothing more than a pathetic weakling. So what if you’re a healer? Can you heal your soul? Can you truly be happy knowing you’ve stolen another wolf’s betrothed? I hate you, Clark. I hate you, and you hereby cease to be my twin sister!’* The memories replayed in a maddening loop, each word piercing deeper than the last. My hands clenched involuntarily around something sof

CLARK POVThe grand hall of Red Moon Manor felt suffocating, the air thick with tension. I faced Lucian, who was stiff, his shoulders in a frozen position. Lorenzo clung to my side, his little body trembling.Clark, he went on, in a calm and quiet voice, "I am trying to do what is right for my pack. My mother is—”“Your mother is a schemer and a liar, Lucian,” I interrupted, my voice firm. “Just like you. You know, you think I'm just going to heal her and then hand her off carelessly, right? This is just the beginning.”“Enough of this,” Sarah spat, scrambling to her feet. Can you walk inside and do your job? “She snapped, her voice dripping with contempt “You’re nothing without your healing abilities.”I met her gaze, my eyes narrowing. “And you’re nothing without your husband’s protection, Sarah. That’s why you’re scared—because deep down, you know I’m stronger than you, even without my powers.”“Stronger?” Sarah laughed, her tone dripping with venom. “You’re a shadow of your forme

CLARK POV “There must be a plan for us to infiltrate Silver Fang lands, Clark,” Lucian said, his voice firm yet urgent. “We cannot afford mistakes.” I nodded as a thousand possibilities flitted through my mind. “To blend in, we'll need disguises. I know my way around with the paths, but we'll need to avoid all the patrols. Otherwise, if we fail, it won't just be us who will pay.” “Agreed,” Lucian said, deep furrows running across his bulging forehead. “Supplies? We need more than just the herb.” “I can manage some basics,” I said, feeling the pressure of time pounding hard on my chest. “But we have to hurry; the longer we take, the worse things will be for your mother.” “Mommy, is that woman going to be okay?" exclaimed Lorenzo. I squatted down and hugged him tightly. “We will do everything we can to help her, sweetheart. I promise.” Lucian’s expression turned grimmer as concern had mixed with something more serious. “Clark, how was it that you knew she was poisoned, just by l

Disorientation must have lasted a long time before I came partially to my senses; I was lying on the cool surface of the forest floor, with the coolness of the earth pressed against my skin. Everything felt alien, even my feelings; hence I considered that maybe my senses were heightened, and very faint, far-off sounds reached my ears: leaves rustled, leaves murmured. I pushed myself up and blinked in the light coming through the branches. “Clark!” came Lucian's voice, filled with worry. My heart was in my throat, and I attempted to sit up, looking around. The others were scattered, and the extremely beautiful woman was nowhere in sight. “Over here!” I croaked out. Just my control held as relief flooded in upon the arrival of Lucian, who knelt beside me. “Thank the moon you are safe!” he said, shaking me and bursting to his feet. “We thought we lost you.” “What happened?” My whirling head needed the rest to consider it. “Where is everyone?” “I don’t know,” he said, glancing anxious
