All Chapters of Luna's Calling: Marked Through Trials: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ErsaSeated at the long table under the wooden hut were three gorgeous women, though it was clear they weren’t exactly on friendly terms.The silver-haired beauty lightly pushed away the face of the raven-haired woman, whose chest was impossible to miss, while the youngest, with soft chestnut hair, sat farther away. I could almost see her rolling her eyes at the bickering pair, a silent comment on their little drama.I straightened my back, took a deep breath, and stepped forward with a small curtsy. “Good morning. I am Ersa Soltharic. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.”I told myself that was how nobles in our pack greeted each other. Maybe I’d done well… though my clumsiness probably showed.As I lifted my gaze, the curvy woman smirked at me, clearly amused, while the silver-haired beauty raised a single eyebrow, studying me with cool curiosity.The curvy woman walked over confidently and draped an arm around my shoulder. "Loosen up a bit, young one. I’m Seraphine, but you can ju

ErsaI kept the pull I felt toward him carefully hidden. Did he feel it too—or was I the only one caught in this strange, magnetic tug? No, that couldn’t be right. Being mates meant wanting each other… didn’t it?I shook my head and forced a composed smile. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Alpha.”He looked effortlessly commanding—dirty blonde hair slicked back, golden eyes, and bronze skin that caught the light. He wore a crisp white button-down, sleeves rolled to his elbows, paired with black slacks and polished leather shoes.“I hope I’m not underdressed,” he said, a teasing smile tugging at his lips as he sat down with ease. “I was supposed to attend a meeting with Alpha Ynovar, but I figured spending the day with you ladies would be far more… entertaining.”Seraph leaned toward me, her elbow nudging my side lightly. “You, okay? You barely looked up when we greeted him.” Her whisper carried a trace of worry, her eyes searching mine.I offered a small nod, trying to calm the sudden fl

ErsaA sigh slipped from my lips, half in reluctance, half in resignation, before I stepped forward and lowered myself into the chair opposite him. The space between us was too narrow, suffocating in its intimacy. His presence pressed against me, his scent thick in the air, curling around me until it felt like it was seeping into my very skin, choking me, consuming me, as though daring me to resist the pull of his dominance.I shook my head, forcing myself to stay grounded, to keep my sanity. But when my eyes lifted to his, he was already watching me with that maddeningly mischievous glint. A smirk curved his lips.“You can feel it, can’t you?” His voice dropped low. “The connection.”The words rooted me to the spot. So it wasn’t that he couldn’t feel it, he could. He simply didn’t care. That much was written in the arrogance of his smirk. I was the one chained by this so-called mate bond, not him.He leaned back in his chair with infuriating ease, as though this entire revelation amus

ErsaAt the foot of the mountain stretched an open field, a place the Beta had told us we were free to ride whenever we wished. But the rules were clear—no venturing into the forest, and certainly no detours toward the town. We were also supposed to be accompanied by a servant, though Seraph seemed intent on forgetting that detail entirely.By the time we were both settled on our horses, she was already restless. Without so much as a warning, she grinned and shouted, “Race you to the foot of the mountain!” Then her horse shot forward in a blur of hooves and wind.“Seraph, wait—!” But she was already gone, disappeared down the slope. Our attendant hadn’t even caught up yet.I sighed, gathering the reins with less enthusiasm. Riding wasn’t my strong suit—I was far more accustomed to four legs than to a saddle. The smooth terrain below the mountain made the journey easy enough, but still… horses had limits. Wolves did not.So instead of chasing recklessly, I let the horse take its steady
