All Chapters of The Runaway Luna's Daughter : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Dew!” Jenine called out, her voice shaky with the fear that had now started to creep in. The light from the portal through which she had crossed had died out with a flicker, leaving the entire forest in an eerie silence and blackness. Her eyes blinked quickly, adjusting to the darkness. The moonlight seeped through the roof of the forest and onto the clearing where Jenine had found herself. It lit up to a generous extent the clearing, but the part of the forest where the trees were the thickest looked like a scene out of a horror movie, an eerie darkness covering them as the thick roof created by the trees prevented the moonlight from passing through. Something moved behind the shadows at the far end of the clearing, and Jenine jumped."Dew, is that you?!” she called again, her hands clutching tightly the denim bag she had brought with her. Still no answer. The thing shuffled again behind the bushes in the dark, startling her. She strained her eyes as hard as they could go, forcin

The pack house was as cold as death when Luca returned. He listened to hear if his father was still up but safe for the occasional low calls of the pack house guards and the intermittent howling in the distance, all was quiet. Luca's footsteps thudded the ground in a perfect rhythm as he walked. A rhythm filled with sadness. With apprehension. With regret? He was supposed to feel better after letting his wolf loose, but the happenings of the night—his wolfless mate—kept tugging at his heart the way a crazed wolf would its own tail.“My Lord,” the sentry greeted as he walked past them into the big house that was the pack house. Their heads bobbed down and up in unison like they had practiced it.Their eyes glowed as Luca strode past them into the house. Alpha Ferguson, Luca's father, had painstakingly taken his time to select them from the most powerful and noblest of families, and their loyalty was to their Alpha.The water from the shower gushed as Luca stood under it, his head bo

Flashback:Dew’s POV I've watched Jenine grow into a beautiful young girl. It's been a long 23 years since we—Becca and I—escaped from Lupestone through the portal my brother had created. “Take care of her,” he had said and that I had done to the best of my ability. I had been there with Becca throughout the pregnancy. I was there in the hospital holding her hands when she put to bed. I was there when Jenine took her first step. I was there when she started school. I was there for Becca throughout Jenine's teenagehood and saw first hand the rebellion that came with that age. But I wasn't there when the accident happened. I wasn't there when Becca needed me the most and I wasn't going to let that happen with Jenine.“Hey,” Jenine tapped my shoulder, bringing me out of my reverie. I had asked her to meet me at the garden park where she always hung out with her mum—Goddess bless her soul. Or God? Unlike us—werewolves—who had our dear ol’ Goddess up there, the humans seemed to recog

Flashback Dew's POV “Oh dear goddess,” I groaned, my heart pounding against my chest threatening to break my rib cage. I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen as the grief tore me up from inside. I'd already lost Becca and now her daughter? No. I couldn't let this happen. I had done the spell exactly the way it was supposed to be done. Exactly how my brother had taught me. What did I do wrong?My eyes strayed to the orb that lay on the floor right in the middle of the circle. Slowly, I fell on my knees, my body shuddering. I picked up the broken pieces that had been the orb. The crack sound that had pierced through the room as the blinding light went off was the breaking sound of the crystal ball. This rare crystal ball that I had so painstakingly preserved for this moment. Kneeling down there in the midst of all the debris in the middle of a white circle, I looked like a young, dejected, heartbroken, young female whose wolf had failed to emerge on a full moon night. My heart sank as t

“Let's go again!” Elisha roared a glint in his eyes. He had a headband tied around his hair as he crouched facing Luca, who held the same crouching position.“This time, no shifting,” Luca threw in, his lips curled up. His chest heaved up and down heavily. “Just pure combat skills.”“You got it,” Elisha grinned back at Luca, mischievously, his body trembling with anticipation. The two wolves charged and lunged at each other, weaving and dodging their blows. Elisha chased after Luca. He sprinted towards a tree. As Elisha lunged forward to deliver a blow, Luca stepped on the body of the tree, performing a backflip and landing behind Elisha. He went low immediately, kicking Elisha's heels.It was a clean sweep. He landed on his back with a thud.“That… that was… really good,” he groaned breathlessly, his hands spread at his sides. His chest heaved gently as he tried to catch his breath. Luca offered him a hand, smiling.This was the third time out of the five training sessions they h
