All Chapters of Monster Luna Writes Her Own Destiny: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

His hand gripped my wrist so tightly that I instinctively jerked away. The touch felt like a thorn piercing back into the past—all the wounds I had buried, reopening. “Let go,” I growled, roughly pushing my body backward. My voice was sharp, my gaze no less piercing. My chest and shoulders tensed, ready to attack him if he came any closer. Kaelen looked surprised, as if he hadn’t expected me to react so fiercely. His brow furrowed, his breath quickened, but he remained standing tall. “Lyara, I was just—” “Miss Moonveil,” I corrected his habit of addressing me so familiarly. My eyes blazed with anger. “I made it clear before, in front of you, and in front of the late Alpha Gareth. I am not your intended mate. So don’t touch me as if you still have any claim over me.” He clenched his jaw. His face hardened. “I have a claim. The elders chose you for me.” “And I refused. Long ago,” I replied firmly. My voice was low but firm. “Did you forget? I withdrew. And your silence at

Lyara Moonviel's POVThe morning sky was clear of clouds, as if it knew that today was no ordinary day for us. The main field of the Gravepine Pack was filled with all the pack members dressed in white. They stood in a large circle, surrounding the giant tombstone in the middle of the field—the stone that was the sacred center of the new Alpha's inauguration ceremony.“Father, his expression is more serious than usual. Is he thinking about the meeting later?” I wondered. I stood in the front row, alongside Father and the main warriors. The morning breeze caressed my hair, part of it braided back, the rest flowing softly against my back. The light white dress I wore fit snugly against my body, simple yet clean. The silver in my hair caught the sunlight, and my deep green irises swept the surroundings, sharp and fully aware.Around the upper part of the field, a two-story circular building sheltered the guests from outside the pack. They stood on the second-floor balcony, watching the

I slowly stood up from the sofa, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. The ticking of the clock on the wall sounded clearer than usual. "Tell him to come into the living room," I said, almost without a sound.But before Liora could turn around, I changed my mind. "No. I'll meet him."Liora turned, slightly surprised. But she nodded quickly and placed the tray on the table. With deft hands, she tidied my slightly disheveled hair, which had become messy from leaning my head back too long. She draped a light jacket over my shoulders with a small smile, then opened the door.“Good luck, Miss.” Liora winked, making me giggle. She had successfully eased the tension on my face.“Nothing happened. Liora, you read too many romantic stories,” I said, still laughing softly.My footsteps sounded soft as I descended the small staircase from the living room to the parlor. And there, in the slanting morning light, Alpha Aric stood waiting for me. He looked the same as always—calm, with an indescri

My footsteps echoed softly in the long corridor of the palace. Each step resonated like the echo of my resolute intent. There was no room for doubt. The cold wind seeping through the window cracks could not shake my resolve this time. I kept walking, letting the clinking of my shoes greet the cold marble floor, whispering to the world that I would not back down.“I must not hesitate. If I do, there’s a chance they’ll target the people I love again, and I’ll find myself in that situation once more,” “Watching helplessly as death takes them from me.” Both my hands clench tightly.I clung tightly to my own feelings, nurturing the flame that had ignited since that day—the day when the voices of the meeting drowned me out, when I was merely an echo of the Moonveil family’s name, not a force to be reckoned with. When they looked at me as the daughter of the pack’s warrior leader, not as an individual with her own will.Then, the poison… that nearly took Father’s life. It opened my eyes

Author POVThe forest began to sink into dusk. The sky was filled with the scorching rays of the sun touching the treetops, while the breeze carried the scent of earth and wet leaves. Amidst the silence and the shadows of the towering trees, two figures stared at each other without blinking.General and Alpha Aric stood face to face, their bodies covered in scratches and blood that was beginning to dry. Though the wounds healed quickly thanks to regeneration, the pain and fatigue remained. They had been fighting for over an hour, but neither showed any signs of giving up. Alpha Aric's hands began to clench, palms open with sharp, elongated claws. General followed suit, crouching low, his body ready.Suddenly, they charged at each other simultaneously.Two immense forces collided, their claws slicing through the air, and every movement created a deafening sound. They moved too quickly for the naked eye to follow, only shadows flickering between the trees and the ground torn apart by
