Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Luna's Cursed Mate : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Sara had waited for this day her entire life.The day she would finally meet her mate, the one person the Moon Goddess had chosen just for her. Someone who would love her, protect her, and make every moment of pain she'd endured finally worth it.Her heart raced as she stood in the middle of the Soomdale Pack’s big hall. Golden light from the chandeliers lit up the shiny floors and the excited faces around her. Pack members and warriors whispered among themselves and waited. It was her twentieth birthday, and today, she would finally feel the mate bond.She clutched her trembling hands together, hiding them within the folds of her pale-blue dress—the only decent thing she owned.“Relax, Sara,” she whispered to herself. “It doesn’t matter what they say. You deserve happiness too.”She wasn’t the only one coming of age today, about twenty others were waiting, too. Maybe she could blend in. Maybe no one would even notice—The scent hit her first.Her wolf, one she had never been able to

Sara ran like a madwoman through the thick, gnarled forest, not daring to look back. The wind roared in her ears, drowning out her own ragged breathing. Her bare feet tore against the forest floor, sharp stones and cruel twigs slicing into her skin. Blood marked her trail, but she didn’t stop.The cold night air stung her skin, numbing her burned wrist and bruised ribs. But she couldn’t think about the pain. She had to keep going.Branches scratched her face, shadows darted in and out of her vision, and the trees seemed to twist and whisper around her. Maybe she was hallucinating. Maybe this was what happened when a body was pushed beyond its limit.She ran until her legs gave out. Her foot snagged on a jagged root, and she tumbled forward. Her side slammed into the ground and a scream tore from her throat, but no one was around to hear it.The fall knocked the breath from her lungs. She tried to get up, but her arms were shaking too much. She collapsed again, her cheek pressed into t

That roar wasn’t in any way normal at all.It felt like a force that slammed through the walls of the quarters like a giant had punched the earth and left everything trembling.The boards in the room groaned and then dust fell from the ceiling, and for a second, it felt like the whole world had gone still, like every living thing around was holding its breath.Sara heard panicked footsteps as more people cried out and slammed their doors shut. She could hear someone saying prayers.“The beast is awake.”But she didn’t stay in. Perhaps she should have, because every voice in her head screamed at her to go back into her cold little corner and wait for the danger to pass.Thing was, her legs were moving before she could stop them, and she was also curious to see what was going on.She got out through the creaking wooden door, barefoot and still aching from the beating she had received. Her body still had wounds and blisters.She didn’t know what she was doing.All she knew was that her h

Blood covered the grass under the moonlight. The tall trees stood still and silent, like they were mourning too.Sara tried to move, but her body wouldn’t respond. All she could do was watch.A woman lay on her back in the clearing. Her chest rose and fell with shallow breaths, her face pale. Blood poured from a deep wound in her side, and the silver glow of the moonlight made her look almost like a ghost. Her dark hair clung to her face, wet with sweat and blood. In her arms, she held a bundle.No— a child.The woman’s lips moved, singing softly through trembling breaths. She reached out with a shaking hand, her eyes glassy as she looked at the baby.“…my baby,” She croaked.Sara stumbled toward her. She wanted to speak, to ask who the woman was, why she was here, but her lips wouldn’t move.Then the woman’s chest began to glow.A bright golden light pulsed beneath her skin, right where her heart was. It flickered at first, then grew brighter, until it looked like the moon had settle

Sara stood in the corner of Kyle's private chambers, a wooden bucket in one hand and a rag in the other. Her arms ached from scrubbing the long corridor outside his room alone.The air in this part of the castle felt different. It wasn’t damp like the dungeon, but cold and dry, and it carried a certain stillness that hinted no one with a heart could call this place home.Well, at least she was out. Not free, but out.When she overheard the healer talking about her, Sara thought her freedom had finally come. But all the woman had spoken was nonsense.Sara didn’t know what any of it meant. She didn’t know much of anything anymore, except that she had gone from prisoner to laboring prisoner.Kyle hadn’t said a word to her since giving the order. He’d had her dragged upstairs, thrown into his service, and then acted like she didn’t exist.But she wasn’t nothing. She could feel that now, stronger than before. She didn’t know why, but somehow, she felt better.She looked around the chamber.
