All Chapters of Unwanted Luna Reborn at Seventeen: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

LyraThe sight of Kael standing over me made me gasp, my body moving away from him on instinct. I scrambled backwards on the bed, chest heaving.“What are you doing here?” I blurted out.Kael’s face pinched. “I heard you crying out, so I came in to check on you. Sue me.” He sighed and glanced at his watch. “Anyway, you overslept. Hurry up and get ready. We have to drive to Ravencrest.”Ravencrest.The word shot through me like claws shredding the fabric of reality as I watched Kael’s tense form stalk away. Blinking rapidly, I looked around the room I now found myself in—a small but cozy space with soft pastel yellow walls and polished hardwood floors, one corner dominated by the twin-sized bed that I now sat on.There was a small writing desk under the window, lace curtains gently billowing in the breeze. Posters of various bands and books and movies lining the walls. A dresser with a mirror above it.And in the reflection of that mirror, staring back at me, was a face I hadn’t seen i

Lyra & KaelLyra“I’ll find my own way.”Kael pulled his head back and looked at me as if I’d just told him that I was going to sprout wings and fly to school. “What, do you intend to walk or something?” he scoffed.I shrugged and grabbed my suitcase, making my way out the door and down the driveway toward the road. “I’ll hail a car.”“Lyra, we’re in the middle of nowhere!”Indeed we were. The Draven estate was exactly the same as it had been in my past life; beautiful and sprawling, all tall ivy-covered brick walls and manicured gardens, but it was surrounded by trees on all sides.The only route connecting us to the rest of civilization was one main road that passed by the front of the estate, which led into the main town of Sagewood, where the estate resided and which was also the central region in the Northern Territories.Beyond that was miles upon miles of quiet forests, various territories, and finally, the small city of Ravencrest at the edge of it all—where we would be attend

LyraAs I walked past Kael, I could feel his eyes burning holes into the back of my head. No doubt my sudden shift in behavior—sudden for him, anyway—seemed completely out of character.In my past life, I had been his little fangirl everywhere I went, especially when we were teenagers. Certainly, to suddenly wake up one morning and act completely unlike my usual self was a shock to him.But I didn’t care anymore. I couldn’t get close to Kael—I would not waste the second chance the Moon Goddess had given me by repeating the very same mistakes I had made in my past life.Luca, noticing what I had just done, shot me a curious glance. “Man, you really are acting differently.” Lips lifted in his signature smirk. “Is this a new tactic to attract Kael’s attention or something?”I rolled my eyes. “No. It’s not a ‘tactic’ at all. I’m just walking to the enrollment office.”Luca didn’t look convinced, but he didn’t press the matter. After thanking him for the ride, we went our separate ways and

LyraI woke with a start, coated in a cold sweat, heart pounding. As I struggled to draw in calm breaths, I pressed my hand to my chest and reached deep within for my wolf.“Jade…”“I’m here,” her voice replied instantly. “It was just a nightmare.”I nodded faintly as my eyes adjusted to the dim light of the room around me. Indeed, I was still in my dorm, not covered in blood in a forest. A quick glance at the clock revealed that it was six in the morning.For a few minutes, I laid back down, trying to calm my racing heart.I was here. Safe. Alive. By the Moon Goddess’s grace, I’d been given chance after chance.And in this life, my wolf was by my side again. I hadn’t lost her for good last time. That, at least, was a comfort.I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment as I recalled the final part of my dream that had awoken me: Kael’s Alpha trial.In my past life, Kael had attended a final Alpha trial , a test from the Council to ensure he was truly ready to take his father’s place.He was

Third Person POV“Lyra! Lyra, wait up!”Luca jogged to catch up with Lyra’s quick, short strides as she hurried down the hallway. She didn’t slow her pace, but rather quickened it. Speedy little thing.After a moment, Luca managed to corner her in the stairwell, blocking her from running up the stairs with his arms stretched out wide.“You’re really gonna ignore your new friend?”Lyra’s big blue eyes widened, freckled cheeks reddening with outrage. “We’re not friends, Luca.”“No?” Luca tilted his head and clasped his hand to his chest in mock offense. “And to think I was under the impression that we had gotten close after yesterday.”Lyra snorted. “You’re just like all his other friends. Looking down on me. Mocking me. So if you’re here to do that, I’d appreciate it if you could just leave me alone.”A small pang of guilt cut through Luca’s chest, which surprised him.To be fair, her foster brother had always made her out to be an annoying lost pup who followed him around everywhere a
