All Chapters of The Luna on a Chain: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

The next morning, my head was pounding so violently that I didn’t have the strength to get out of bed. Two pathetic cocktails had somehow managed to turn an already dreadful morning into something even worse.I had barely forced my eyes open when I jolted in fright at the sight of a girl leaning over me.“So you’re alive after all!” she said with a smile, perching on the edge of the bed.“And who are you supposed to be? Another one of Ruslan’s girlfriends?” I stared at the pretty girl with the dazzling smile.“I’m his sister. My name is Sofia. You were screaming so much last night that I started to feel sorry for you. But Ruslan forbade me from coming near you yesterday, so I came this morning to check whether you were still alive.”“Where is Ruslan?”“He left for work with the Alpha.”A sharp wave of pain twisted my face, and I clutched my head.“Here, take this.” She held out a glass and a pill.I eyed her outstretched hand warily. She was his sister — who knew what strange things r

His body began to twist and elongate, bones shifting grotesquely beneath his skin. Primal terror swallowed me whole. What was he doing? Was he about to tear me apart? No… that couldn’t be possible. Could it?I took a few cautious steps toward the forest, unable to tear my eyes away. The massive gray wolf standing before me looked almost calm—almost harmless. He wouldn’t hurt me… would he?A menacing growl reverberated through the trees. The beast lowered onto his front paws, muscles coiling, ready to spring at any second.Fear rooted my feet to the asphalt. I couldn’t move. But the instant he lunged forward, instinct took over—I ran.The forest wasn’t too dense; I could weave between the trees with relative ease. The vicious growl chasing me lashed at my back like a whip, driving me to pour every last ounce of strength into my escape. Yet the deeper I fled into the woods, the more obstacles blocked my path. Broken branches snapped beneath my feet, threatening to send me sprawling at e

I felt like a guilty schoolgirl being reprimanded in the principal’s office. I’d curled in on myself, barely daring to utter a word. Two pairs of furious eyes were burning straight through me.“Isn’t there anything you’d like to tell us?” Alexey asked at last, breaking the oppressive silence.“What exactly am I supposed to tell you?”“You disappeared from the club. No call. No message…”Olya spoke so emotionally, as if I were her reckless little sister who had done something unbelievably stupid.“I’m sorry. I threw my phone away. I had no way to call.”It was a blatant lie. Ruslan had given me a new phone, and I still had Olya’s business card.I simply had nothing to say to them. That’s why I didn’t call. Too many problems had come crashing down on me over the weekend. And on top of that, Ruslan hadn’t spoken to me since the incident at the mall. He hadn’t been home all day yesterday, and this morning he hadn’t said a single word to me either.In short, I’d gotten swept up in the whir

At the appointed time, I was completely ready. The dress fit my figure perfectly, but the shoes—though the right size—were unbearably uncomfortable. Maybe it was simply because I had never worn anything like them before.An incredible beauty stared back at me from the mirror. It took my breath away.When Alexey saw me, he froze for several seconds, staring dumbfounded, his mouth slightly open. He had dressed up as well—wearing a suit and tie.“Let’s go.” He held out his hand.We descended into the hall, already crowded with guests. Soft music filled the spacious room. The contestants’ desserts were displayed across long tables. Everyone was tense; in fifteen minutes, the winners would be announced. A massive podium had even been constructed for the award ceremony.“Maya,” a familiar voice called, and I turned.Vera approached arm in arm with Kirill. My friend carefully studied Alexey, then shot me a reproachful look.“Can we step aside for a minute?”I had a feeling this was about to

An incomprehensible tapping sound shattered my sleep. It felt as though a squad of tiny men were racing somewhere nearby, performing a furious tap dance as they ran.The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Ruslan. He was sitting on the edge of the bed with a laptop balanced on his knees, his fingers flying across the keyboard at incredible speed—producing that very sound.“You’re awake,” he said without looking up.As I pushed myself upright, the pajamas I was wearing immediately caught my attention. When had I changed?“What did you tell Vera?” he asked again.This time, the werewolf set the laptop aside and turned toward me.“That you and I aren’t actually together. And something else…”My gaze drifted to a bottle of water on the bedside table, and the unpleasant dryness in my mouth reminded me how thirsty I was. After several long gulps, a relieved sigh escaped my lips. Only then did I notice that dawn was already breaking outside the window—and I needed to get ready for wo
