Semua Bab The Luna Awakening: Rejected and Reborn: Bab 1 - Bab 7

The gathering in the living room lasted until late afternoon.Everyone was there.Former Alpha Thorne and Luna Elena sat at the front like they owned the place. The Beta couple sat close by, laughing with the others. Pack members filled the chairs and sofas, holding cups and plates like it was a celebration.The room smelled like cedar smoke from the fireplace and roasted meat from the kitchen.They laughed like nothing was wrong.Like I wasn’t eight months pregnant.Like I wasn’t standing there, trying to breathe through the tightness in my chest.When someone needed iced tea, they called my name.When someone needed a plate cleared, they looked at me.That was all I was good for. A servant.A background piece in my own home.Elena made sure I felt it.She glanced at me and smiled without warmth. “Your roses are dying again, Ava. A Luna should know how to care for her garden. It’s symbolic.”I forced a polite smile. “I’ve been busy.”Elena’s lips tightened. “Of course. The human cond

"I'll call someone to get you.""No, Rowan, please—" I grabbed the phone tighter, my voice breaking. "I'm hurt. I really need to see a doctor. Please don't—"The line went dead."Rowan?"Tears streamed down my face as I called him again. And again. Every call went straight to voicemail.How could he do this to me?I curled up on the narrow bed, crying. I banged on the door, begging the guards outside to help me. The contractions kept coming, each one worse than the last, but no one answered.The pain was too much. I didn't think I would survive this. Maybe Rowan was right. Maybe I really was just a weak human. My eyes felt heavy. I collapsed onto the cold floor, blood pooling between my thighs.Everything went dark.I felt movement. Someone was carrying me.I forced my eyes open and realized I was in a car. A car? Had Rowan finally come for me? I knew he wouldn't abandon me.I lifted my head slightly and saw I was lying across the backseat. When I looked toward the front, my stomach d

The airport terminal blurred into streaks of fluorescent light and hurried strangers as I pushed through the glass doors. My heels clicked against the polished floor—sharp, deliberate, the only sound louder than my heartbeat. Each step felt like ripping off a bandage that had fused to skin over five years.Behind me, Rowan’s voice had fractured into something raw. “Ava, wait—please.” It wasn’t a command anymore. Not like the night he’d ordered me dragged to the border, the pack’s eyes averted, my belly already rounding with the life we’d made. Back then his word was law. Now it was just a plea, thin against the roar in my ears.I didn’t turn. I couldn’t. If I saw Ivy’s face again—those wide hazel eyes that were his mirror, the same stubborn curl to her lip I’d kissed a thousand times in secret—I’d shatter. And I’d promised myself, the day I clawed my way out of that ravine with blood in my mouth and nothing but rage to keep me moving, that I would never break for him again.The taxi
