Semua Bab Cursed Luna: Bab 21 - Bab 30

RebeccaAs I stepped out of the tight space, I found myself on the empty balcony where I could finally have some room to breathe. I started to think about what my mother would have told me to do if she were still here. I miss her a lot. I didn't even notice a tear fall until it landed on my collarbone. “I hope you’re watching, Mom,” I whispered, feeling my throat tighten. “I’ve always wanted to make you proud. But it’s getting tougher every day. Dad didn’t want me, and now even my own friend doesn’t seem to want me.” I let out a bitter laugh as I wiped away another tear. “You told me to never let anyone take what belongs to me. You said one day I would be at the top and could make my own choices.” I breathed out sharply. “But it’s so hard, Mom. Really hard.” I looked down at my reflection in the glass doors; my eyes were red and puffy, and my lips trembled despite trying to stay calm. “I don’t want to lose who I am in all of this. I don’t want to be forgotten. And I definit

RebeccaMy silence was answer enough. He had interpreted it correctly.For a heartbeat, there was only the warmth of John's mouth, the press of his body, the stiffness in his bulging muscles as he slanted his lips over mine. I had to rise on my toes to return the kiss.I kissed him with my eyes open, so I could see how his own closed in concentration. He pulled away a moment later breathing harshly and found my eyes still wide.“If you don't want this, let me know…” I only let his words go that far before I surged forward to kiss him back, this time with my eyes closed. The force of the kiss knocked him toward the wall, all of him lined up against all of me, a hand sliding into my hair while the other gripped my hip. I was done restraining myself from this desire. If he wanted this, then I wanted it too. His touch left an electrifying thrill on my skin. His groan in my mouth turned me to mush. The moment his pheromones overwhelmed me, it destroyed any illusion of restraint. I opene

RebeccaThe bitter flower of shame bloomed across my cheeks. Like a pup in heat,I had let go of myself to be used by a man I was supposed to be done with. The way he had touched me. Made me feel things I had never felt as a woman.The way I made sounds I never thought possible. Like a wild beast. It all made me ashamed. Staring at my reflection on the mirror, my mouth drooped open in an open “o” of silent surprise. My eyes were shinning so brightly and my cheeks were colored rose pink. My skin was still flushed and glowing with sweat.I would be lying to myself if I said I hadn't enjoyed it. But what bothered me was that I might have enjoyed it too much.The sex had left me a rumpled mess. I leaned back with pleasureglazed eyes as I cleaned myself with a towel. It felt sore down there…but deliciously so.Was this how things was going to be between us henceforth? Keeping things purely physical? Great sex? What next? Getting knocked up and birthing his heir, then everything ends?I s

RebeccaOver the next few days, I dug through the archives at my office in my spare time, looking for information about what it meant to be Luna. Apparently there were old laws, ones that weren't practiced anymore for almost a hundred years. I also learnt that the Luna shared in the Alpha's powers when she was fully marked, there was no place where it was mentioned that the Luna marked the Alpha. It incensed me for some reason.All my life I was told to learn to be submissive. Yield to authority. Do my father's, husband's, and then my son's bidding. Nowhere was it mentioned that women got these rights.Well, thankfully most women knew better than to simply be daughters, wives and mothers. I've seen a few inspirational women and I dared to dream that I would one day become one of them.All I wanted to do was rebuild the legacy my mother left behind. Even if it cost me everything else.I felt a quiet rage simmering inside me. All my life, I had been molded to be something silent. Pleas

John I just gazed at her as if what she had said made no sense when she had cursed me, but memories flew through my mind, and something kept bugging me. Bloody memories, including my father's body, being the reason behind my mother's passing.I kind of held myself responsible for their demise.However, that didn't validate her claims or alter anything. "Do you believe that putting me in jail makes a difference?"Her voice was calm and gentle as she requested."Son, you bear the same darkness that I do.Don't act as though you are clean, John. However, after I left her in that dungeon, her words followed me like a second shadow.I had hoped for clarity when I went there.However, I departed with a disorganized and chaotic state of mind. I therefore proceeded to the one location that was often helpful.The training room.Somewhere I could beat it out of myself, sweat it out, or bleed it out.All I needed was something to strike. However, I was surprised to see that Rebecca and he were standi
