All Chapters of His Crimson Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Regina POVThe lobby felt too small.It was the same space she’d stood in every day for years — the same polished floors, the same warm lighting, the same steady hum of quiet conversation — but now it felt like the air had thickened, pressing against her skin with a strange, electric tension she couldn’t escape.Regina stared down at the computer screen without seeing it, her fingers hovering uselessly over the keyboard.Her heart still hadn’t settled.The moment Aldric walked through the doors replayed in her mind with startling clarity — the way her breath had caught before she even consciously recognized him, the sudden rush of warmth that had exploded through her chest the instant their eyes met.And then—The bond.It had snapped into place with a force so undeniable she’d nearly gasped out loud, a deep, instinctive certainty flooding her senses like a flood breaking through a dam.Mate.

Regina POVRegina woke before her alarm.For a moment, she lay still beneath the soft weight of her blankets, staring at the faint gray light filtering through the curtains as dawn crept slowly across the sky. The world was quiet — that deep, early-morning stillness where everything felt suspended between breaths.And beneath the quiet…The bond pulsed.Warm. Steady. Alive.It took her a few seconds to fully register it — the gentle awareness humming just beneath her ribs, like a second heartbeat she could feel but not hear. Not overwhelming, not intrusive… just present.Aldric.Her chest tightened softly at the thought, the memory of last night rising with startling clarity — the way he’d stood in her living room, steady and calm, the quiet warmth in his voice, the easy way the conversation had flowed once her initial panic settled.Mate.The word still felt surreal.Regina closed her

Dual POV (Regina & Aldric)ReginaBy the time Regina returned to the hotel lobby, the warm ease from lunch had settled into a soft glow beneath her ribs — the kind that made the world feel just a little lighter.For a few precious hours, she’d almost forgotten how heavy the past could feel.Almost.She slipped behind the reception desk, greeting a couple checking out, falling easily back into her work rhythm. But the bond remained a steady warmth in her chest, a quiet reminder that Aldric was nearby somewhere in the building.It should have been distracting.Instead, it felt grounding.She finished updating the reservation system and reached for her coffee, lifting the mug halfway to her lips when something made her pause.A faint scent drifted through the air.Cool.Metallic.Her breath stilled.The mug hovered inches from her mouth as her senses sharpened instinctiv

Morning light spilled through the tall windows of the living room, the pale gold glow softening the edges of everything it touched. Rebecca watched the dust motes drift lazily through the air as Regina laughed at something Aldric had just said. The sound caught Rebecca off guard. Not because it was unfamiliar — she remembered Regina laughing years ago — but because of how different it felt now. Lighter. Stronger. Back then, Regina’s laughter had often been careful, something offered to comfort others even when she herself was hurting. It had been kind, but fragile. Now it rang with something steadier. Peace. Rebecca leaned back slightly into the couch cushion, studying her quietly while the conversation continued around them. Regina sat curled slightly toward Aldric, one leg tucked beneath her, a loose strand of hair falling across her cheek. She brushed it back absentmindedly as she spoke, completely at ease in a way Rebecca hadn’t seen before. And Aldric… R

Dual POV (Regina & Aldric) Regina The convention hall buzzed with energy. Voices overlapped in low conversations, the air thick with the layered scents of dozens of wolves gathered in one place — cedar, leather, spice, forest air clinging to clothing from different territories. The large ballroom had been transformed into a meeting space, long tables arranged in a wide circle beneath warm chandelier light. Regina stood near the back wall, fingers loosely wrapped around a glass of sparkling water she hadn’t touched, her senses quietly alert as she took everything in. She rarely attended pack functions anymore — not like this — and being surrounded by so many Alphas and Betas felt overwhelming in a way she hadn’t experienced in years. But the bond pulsed steadily, grounding her. Aldric stood across the room speaking with another Alpha, his posture relaxed but commanding, his presence impossible to miss even in a crowded space. Every so often, his gaze flickered to her, a
