All Chapters of Becoming Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

KIERAN'S POVWe left before the sun went down.I remember glancing back once at the pack lands, the fading light catching on the roofs and trees like it was trying to hold us there. For a second, Aria crossed my mind again..stubborn, infuriating Aria and I clenched my jaw.The Veil of Thorns was still far, and we didn’t have time to waste.Marcus walked ahead of me, steady and confident, like a man who knew every inch of the outskirts. Usually that would have reassured me. Today, everything felt off. The air was too quiet, the path too familiar.At first, I ignored it. But then I saw the stone again. A crooked slab split at the top, half buried in the dirt like it had been waiting there for years. I slowed without meaning to, my gaze lingering on it as we passed.Something twisted in my chest.I’d seen it before.I kept walking, telling myself I was imagining things. The outskirts were full of rocks and broken trees. It meant nothing.Except… Two hours later, we passed it again, that

Kieran’s POV For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.It was all too good to be true. Everything inside me, the anger, the exhaustion, the pressure of the pack, the mission …it all fell away like it had never existed. Because she was standing right there. My love, my Luna..My Selene…she was standing right Infront of me. “Selene…?” My voice came out rough, almost disbelieving. I took a step closer, afraid she might vanish if I blinked. “Is it really you?” My chest tightened with something dangerously close to relief. “Where have you been?” I asked quickly, the words tumbling out before I could stop them. “Do you have any idea what I’ve been through.. I have searched everywhere for you” There was complete silence.. she was just staring at me and then an uneasy feeling crept up my spine. My gaze slowly shifted past her… to the blonde woman sitting calmly at the table, as if this was a performance she had paid to watch. She hadn’t moved,not even a little. She was just watching with a quiet

They are hiding… even in the ones you believe you love.” I stiffened, every fiber of my being tensing. My wolf snarled beneath my skin, claws scraping the edges of restraint. what was happening to me? She circled me, slow, deliberate, as if tracing the shadows inside my mind. “Oh, I see you,” she whispered, close enough for me to smell the faint scent of lavender and something older… something dangerous. “You protect her with a fierceness you barely understand, and yet… you would betray another without realizing it. Funny, isn’t it? How the heart chooses, even when the mind refuses to see?” I ground my teeth, fists clenching at my sides. “Stop,” I growled. “I don’t know what you’re implyin

“This can’t be happening…” I muttered under my breath as Marcus and I pushed past the last line of guards. “Three months… gone? Just like that?” My mind refused to accept it. “What about the people? The pack… my parents… who’s been leading everything in our absence?” Darius’s eyes were steady, calm, but heavy with the weight of what he had to say. “Your parents are fine, Alpha. They’ve been worried sick, but otherwise… unharmed. As for who’s been leading in your absence… well, you already know who would have taken up that role.” The words hit me like a slap. My chest tightened. I didn’t want to hear it, but I knew immediately who he meant. Chester. I didn't waste another minute.. I ran out straight to my house and bursted through the door, my boots echoing against the wooden floor, chest still pounding from the journey back. My father and Chester froze, their eyes wide, disbelief written all over their faces. “Kieran…” My father’s voice broke slightly, almost a whisper, but

KIERAN'S POV There was a light knock on the door. I didn’t respond. For a moment, I thought whoever it was would take the hint and leave. But the door creaked open anyway and Marcus stepped in. The moment his eyes landed on the bed, he stopped mid-step. His shoulders stiffened, and the color in his face shifted like he had just walked into something he wasn’t prepared for. His gaze moved slowly over Aria… taking in how still she was, how pale, how wrong it all looked. A heavy silence settled in the room. "Marcus… please leave.” My voice came out quieter than I expected, but there was no mistaking the order in it. I didn’t even look at him at first. My eyes were still on Aria, on how unmoving she was against the sheets, how wrong it felt to see her like that. “I asked to be alone with her.” The room stayed silent for a few seconds. Then I heard Marcus shift behind me. “Yes, Alpha,” he said. “Your mother mentioned that.” But he didn’t leave. That alone was enough to make
