All Chapters of REBIRTH: I REFUSE TO BE LUNA: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Adrian's POV:From the very moment he had heard those words leave Damien’s lips, he knew he had lost. The feeling of losing before he could even enact his plan was the worst thing he had ever felt.“She is my mate.”Those words echoed in his mind long after the room had fallen silent. Those words were not just a claim like most of the other wolves thought, this was also a declaration. It was the final stage in the ground that was unchangeable.Adrian stood at the edge of the ballroom with an expression that was perfectly neutral. No matter how much rage he felt, he was in the most prestigious event of the year, he could not show his rage like that uncultured bitch, Lyra. So, he hid all his emotions behind a mask.This wasn’t how tonight was supposed to go. He had come here with one goal in mind; to reclaim his pride. And yet, he had failed before he had even started.His goal was to reassert his dominance, to remind everyone that he was a force that they needed to be afraid of. Instea

Damien’s POV:I could not remember the last time I had smiled this much. The feeling of being so at peace and warm felt both unfamiliar and foreign. And yet, it was a feeling I wanted to never end.My hand remained firmly wrapped around Nyssa’s as we stepped out of the ballroom, the echoes of the ballroom and the auction still lingered behind us, but absolutely none of it mattered anymore.Not the politics, or the alliances or the spectacle, all I cared about was her.“My Luna.”The words still sat on my tongue, it was heavy, but it also felt right.Beside me, Nyssa walked with quiet grace, the necklace I had just gotten for her rested against her skin and caught the light with every step she took. The moment I had noticed just how much she wanted, I knew I had to get it. It was a reaction I knew I would never regret, and I was right.The necklace drew attention, but not as near as she did. And I don’t think she even noticed, or maybe she did and just didn’t care about the stares she

Nyssa’s POV:The very first thing I felt when I woke up was warmth. It wasn’t the softness of my bed, or the queit stillness that always came with the morning. No, it was hot warmth.The heat wrapped around me, settled deep into my bones and filled my chest with an emotion I never ever wanted to lose; love. I stirred slowly, my eyes were slightly heavy as my consciousness began to return in soft waves. The moment I realized I was awake, I kept my eyes closed and refused to move, or even think.I just existed in that limbo space caught on the edge between waking up and still sleeping. Then, the memory of last night hit all at once, and I woke up instantly. Heat rushed to my face as I remembered Damien’s proclamation at the ball, and then everything that came after. From the kissing, to the amazing sex we had last night. I shifted slightly and froze. I just realized that I wasn’t alone.I looked up and there he was. Right beside me, watching me and smiling with very obviously awake eyes

“…What?”That word slipped out of my lips before I could stop it. For a second, I just stood there as my thoughts scrambled to catch up with what I had just heard.My mom? Here? At my warehouse? Agaiin?I blinked once, then twice, trying and failing to force myself to focus on what was most important.Finally, I sighed, turned towards the assistant and nodded at him,“Let her in,” I said, my voice was far steadier than I felt.The assistant nodded quickly and hurried off.With a frown on my lips, I lifted the phone back to my ear.“Ms. Nyssa?” the buyer’s voice came through, and I could tell he was cautious now.I exhaled softly.“I’ll call you back,” I said. “Something just came up. I’ll get back to you in an hour at most.”Before the buyer could respond, I ended the call. Because I knew one thing for certain when it came to my mom, whatever all of this was, I could not wait.I didn’t have to wait long at all. It took only a few minutes before I heard some footsteps approaching from

Everything in me went still. The warmth from earlier, the ease and satisfaction I felt just a little while ago didn’t disappear, but they did evolve into something very sharp.My expression didn’t change, but my gaze hardened instantly.“Why is she here?” I asked,Blade shrugged,“She didn’t say much. Just that she needed to see you.”Of course, she did. A slow breath left my lungs, and my mind was already moving, assessing and calculating what her plans probably were. I already knew what she wanted to ask, and I already had my answers.I glanced toward the entrance of the estate, then back towards Blade.“Well,” I said calmly as I began to walk towards the meeting hall, “let’s not keep her waiting.”The walk to the waiting room felt longer than it should have. Not because of distance, but because of the memories that were springing up into my mind, each step I took echoed faintly against the polished floors of the estate, and with every step, fragments of the past with her tried to s
