All Chapters of Your Luna’s Final Goodbye: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The air in the room froze.The expression on Emory’s face froze, as if he couldn't process the words.“What did you say?” He fought to keep his voice from shaking. “Who told you that?”His father’s terrifying gaze scared Leo, but the thought of his mother being dead was even scarier.He shakily pulled his small communicator from under his pillow and played the recording.Ophelia’s sharp, smug voice filled the silence.“…her wolf spirit was in its final stages. She died the second the ritual ended…”“…as long as we make it look like she ran off with a lover, Emory will never suspect a thing…”Emory felt like all the oxygen had been sucked from the room. He couldn’t breathe.Wolf spirit fading. Final stages.Dead.He could no longer lie to himself.He thought of Liliana’s face, growing paler each day.He thought of her desperate pleas for him to believe her, and the look of utter despair when he turned his back on her.He had forced her to give her blood to Ophelia.He remembered her say

“Emory, I’m not! I did it because I love you! How could I do something like this?” Ophelia sat amidst the broken glass, ignoring the cut on her face, her tears a pathetic stream. “It must have been the priest! The ritual failed and he’s trying to blame me!”She was falling back on her old tricks, the damsel in distress.“Blame you?”Emory laughed as if it were the funniest joke in the world.He pulled a stack of photos from his coat and threw them in her face.They scattered around her, each one a piece of evidence.Records of her payments to the priest. Surveillance footage of her buying the poison. Transcripts of her messages with the black-market doctor.“And you still want to be my Luna?” Emory leaned down and yanked her by her perfectly styled hair, forcing her to look at him. “You poisonous snake. You think you’re worthy?”Ophelia knew there was no way out. Her only option was to beg. “Emory, I did all of this for you! I just wanted things to go back to the way they were! Don’t y

“Aurora…”The moment I said his name, tears streamed down Caleb’s face.This was the Alpha of the Riverwood pack, a man feared and respected in the world of business, now crying like a child.He pulled me into a fierce hug, holding me like a priceless treasure he’d finally gotten back, yet he was so careful, so gentle, as if afraid he might break me.“Thank the Goddess… thank you… you’re finally back…”As I felt the frantic beat of his heart against my chest, the fragmented memories of my life as Aurora began to click into place.I was Aurora, the beloved princess of the Silver Moon pack.My life had been a fairytale, the envy of every wolf.Years ago, at a festival, I had seen Caleb—then the leader of a small, unremarkable pack—and had fallen for him instantly. I was overjoyed when I discovered he was my fated mate.I had gone straight to my father and said, “I’m going to marry him.”Everyone thought it was just a princess’s whim. Many mocked Caleb, saying he was just using me to clim

Emory’s POVMeanwhile, in the Blackwood pack’s hospital, the air was thick with tension.“Useless! Absolutely useless!”Emory’s father stood over his hospital bed, pointing a finger at his son, who had just been cleared from critical condition.“Trying to kill yourself over some cheating whore! Do you have any dignity as an Alpha? You’ve shamed the entire Blackwood name!”His mother was dabbing at her eyes, though her words were just as sharp. “You can’t just go hurting yourself! Who will lead the pack? Are you trying to kill us with worry?”On the bed, Emory’s face was ashen, his chest wrapped in thick bandages. The pack healers said he had been inches from death.But there was no relief on his face, only a dead, empty calm.Losing Liliana and his own brush with death had shown him what a fool he had been.He had loved her from the moment he saw her, but his pride, his stupid ego, had made him push her away again and again.He had killed her.He could never forgive himself. And he wou

On the night of our seventh-anniversary gala, the entire Riverwood estate was aglow with lights, the driveway lined with luxury cars.I wore a custom-made starlight gown Caleb had designed for me. With his arm around me, I felt like I was living in a fairytale.“I’m going to greet my parents at the gate. I’ll be right back,” Caleb said, kissing my forehead.“Okay. I’ll wait for you here.”After he left, I stood near the entrance, accepting the congratulations and compliments of our guests with a smile.That’s when I saw him. A small figure standing in the shadows under a dim streetlight.It was Leo.He was just standing there, staring at me with a look of such pitiful longing.I hesitated, then sighed and walked over. I told myself I couldn’t just leave a small child out here alone.I knelt down. “What are you doing out here? Where’s your father?”Leo looked up, his eyes swimming with tears and guilt. “Mommy… I’m so sorry…”“What?”Before I could react, I felt a sharp prick in my neck.
