All Chapters of Luna by Contract, Mother in Secret : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The Deal of ShadowsThe letter arrived just after midnight, slipped under the door of the tiny human apartment Aria Winter's called home.There was no return address. That was quite weird. Just then she realised it was only the elegant black seal of the Darkfang Pack — a wolf’s fang through a crescent moon and that was enough description.Aria stared at it for minutes before she found the courage to touch it. Her hands trembled as she peeled it open, heart pounding against her ribs like a prisoner trying to escape.“Miss Winters,You are requested to appear before Alpha Caden Blackthorn at 9:00 a.m. There should be no delays, no excuses. This is not a request but an order backed up by the law.”Her fingers curled around the paper as dread crawled up her spine.He found me.My past has begun hunting me.After all these years of hiding… he finally found me.But it looks like she didn’t have a choice. Not with her son sleeping in the next room, curled beneath a thin blanket, his tiny che

The Scent of SecretsShe finally arrived at the party. The dinner was a masquerade of power—fine crystal glasses, glistening chandeliers, and polished smiles hiding sharpened teeth. Aria sat to the right of Alpha Caden, hands folded neatly, posture straight, every inch showed an obedient Luna.Every nerve in her body was tight. Beneath the lace of her gown and the weight of the silver Luna necklace, her skin burned with the memory of Marcus' words.“He is up to something, Aria. You have to warn the Alpha.”Caden’s presence beside her was a wall of power and silent command. He hadn’t spoken a word to her since she signed the contract. But the way his jaw tensed… it showed he was still skeptical about her.And Kael kept watching her.The Southern Alphas made conversation about territorial alliances and rising rogue threats, but Aria barely heard any of it. Her mind kept drifting back now to the boy with amber eyes and a sleepy smile. Her son, Rollan.“Luna Aria,” one of the Southern Alp

Caught in the ShadowsThe castle walls vibrated with alarm. Everyone began running for safety.Shouts echoed down the corridors. Warriors rushed past Aria’s chamber in full armor, their footsteps thundering like war drums. Servants screamed in fear. Guards barked orders as swift as they could and positioned themselves for the worse.“The western gate’s been breached!”“Sound the second horn, protect the Alpha!”“They’re after something, we don’t know what!”Aria stood at her window, heart pounding like it would leap from her chest. She was quite confused about what to do.‘A rogue attack’. That’s what they were all calling it. But Aria knew better. She knew it wasn't just a random attack from a random person. It was an attack from her blood brother.Victor.Who didn't want her to be with Alpha Caden, as he was his rival and would do all he can to take him down even if it required hurting Aria in the process.He had sent this chaos as a distraction, and a message. He was taunting her

The Weight of TruthThe chaos of Darkfang Keep swallowed Aria as she stumbled through the torch-lit corridors, her cloak damp with dew and Kael’s warning ringing in her ears. The guard’s words—“The boy’s already marked” clawed at her mind, each syllable a fresh wound. Rollan was in danger, and Victor’s shadow loomed larger than ever. She had to find Caden. She had to tell him the truth, even if it meant risking everything.The keep was a storm of movement—guards barking orders, wolves snarling as they patrolled the perimeter, servants scurrying with wide-eyed fear. The rogue attack had left the western gate in ruins, and the air reeked of blood and smoke. Aria’s heart pounded as she pushed through the throng, her bare feet slapping against the cold stone floors. She’d left the enchanted cloak behind in the woods, its protection useless now that Victor’s spy had seen her.She found Caden in the war room, surrounded by his council. Maps were strewn across the table, marked with red ink

Blood and BondsThe rain-soaked clearing pulsed with tension, the air thick with the scent of wet earth, blood, and betrayal. Aria stood frozen, caught between Victor’s cruel smile and Caden’s blazing fury. The pack warriors flanked their Alpha, their eyes glowing in the firelight, while Victor’s rogues formed a loose circle, their claws and blades gleaming. Rollan’s blanket was still clutched in Aria’s trembling hands, a fragile tether to the son she’d do anything to protect.“Tell him, Aria,” Victor taunted, his golden eyes glinting with malice. “Tell your Alpha how you’ve lied to him. How you’ve hidden his heir. Or do you want me to spill your secrets?”Caden’s gaze burned into her, his blade steady in his hand, but his voice was a low, dangerous growl. “Is it true? Is Victor Hale your brother?”Aria’s throat tightened, her heart hammering so loud she thought it might burst. The truth was a noose, tightening with every second she delayed. “Yes,” she whispered, her voice barely carr
