All Chapters of The Ex-Convict Luna is Back: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Mariana RoseTo prevent further rumors swirling around the state, the Rozen decided not to hold any funeral rites for the late alpha and buried him quickly in the ancestral domain of the Silverthorne pack. Many are shocked about what happened given that they were made to believe that the late alpha is already dead a few months back only for the news to spread that he was alive all along but is now dead.Heavy rains are pelting on our backs drenching everyone as the high priestess performed the rites of passage into the afterlife. I was beside Rozen holding his cold hands letting the rain wash away my tears and guilt.“Today, our entire pack of Silverthorne, is mourning the passing of our dearest patriarch alpha.”The high priestess poured down a whole cup of blood from the pack into the casket, smearing the glass in crimson red.“Alpha Count, may you be welcomed by the moon goddess herself.”Everyone bowed to pay the last respects to the former alpha but Rozen stood straight, his clen

Mariana Rose“Mariana?”I shivered inside when he kept on calling for my name again.How could he say my name over and over again? Did he realize I was Mariana all along?No, that is not possible. My face is already Glenda and Nirvana was bound by the council’s cage unless…I gasped inwardly. Maybe the bind is slowly loosening. That is the only plausible explanation for this. Evan is now sensing me and my wolf!Victor stepped in, perplexed about the actions of his best friend. “Evan, what are you talking about? Who are you calling Mariana Rose?”Evan sighed frustratingly and threw his hands in the air.“I can’t believe it too! I sniffed the air and I sensed her intoxicating scent again! I thought I was imagining when I smelled her scent last week when I was here but I am more confident now that it was really her scent!”Tears pooled in my eyes when the longing in his voice seemed too real. It seemed to me that he was really anticipating my scent.But knowing Evan and his cunningness,

Mariana’s POVHis wolf has gone completely feral and once that happens, the beast completely takes over with its animalistic instincts crashing and tearing anyone it sees as an enemy.Including me.Despite the tremor all over my body, I came forward to meet the wolf swallowing whatever warning signals blaring in my head.“Hey, buddy. It is me! Glenda!” I lifted my hand towards it so he could smell me wishing in my head that once the wolf recognized the smell of its mate, it would not bite my head off.I wish I could shift into my wolf but I am not yet prepared to bare my weapons down especially when Rozen is doubting my identity.The wolf sniffed my hand, blinked, licked my face with its bloodied tongue before shifting back in its human form.“Thank goodness,” I murmured as I let him embrace and kiss my head.That sense of relief that I finally let him out from the lethal trance of being feral flooded me. My tears fell down like an opened dam with the chilling recollection of what cou

Mariana’s POVMy feet instantly backtracked wanting to escape from my ex-mate’s prying eyes but Rozen’s suspicious stare kept me frozen on the ground.If I suddenly run off, Rozen will definitely think that something is wrong and it will take only a matter of time before he learns everything. He already doubted me before. It will be easier for him to confirm his apprehensions against me.“Alpha Rozen, we now have a lead about the assassin that killed the alpha,” an enforcer said, breaking off the silence in the air.Rozen stared at my face first before turning back and walking away gruffly. The elders together with Jezebel took Drake’s body so it was only me and Evan left in the open.His eyes were staring at me in both a mix of disbelief, longing, and awe.“Mariana, I don’t know what happened, why you have the face of a Silverthorne or how you escaped the jail but, please, do not lie to me.”He crossed our gap and caressed my face. “Our wolves knew each other. We are mates, Mariana.

Mariana’s POV“Mate…” he drawled, his voice rough enough to make me freeze. His eyes glowed gold under the moonlight streaks through the window.The smile on his face and the twinkle in his eyes is palpable as if he finally proved something that will change the course of his life.He had completely forgotten about the wolfsbane dagger and is now looking at me with all the love in his eyes.“I knew right from the very start that you are my mate, Glenda.” He ran a thumb over my plump lips fresh from his wild kissing, excitement written all over his face. “My father was right when he took you in. You are my second chance mate.”I bit my tongue when guilt rushed through me, gnawing every inch of my being. Rozen is too relieved and happy to know that I am his mate when I already know it way way before. Before I could utter a single word, he bridged our distance and kissed me again.It wasn’t gentle. It was wild like fire breaking out of control filled with immense energy. All the pent-up
