Alle Kapitel von The Runaway Luna's Daughter : Kapitel 71 – Kapitel 80

Jenine's POV I couldn't wait for Laura to be back. It'd been three weeks since she had that ‘family emergency’. Whatever that was supposed to mean.I stared at myself in the mirror, eyes focused. The sports bra I wore on joggers clung to my body. My messy hair stared back at me, strands scattered on my face. I pushed them back in place tying them with the black head band that dangled in my hand. I closed my eyes drawing a slow, deep breath to prepare myself. For what you'd ask.I needed to get stronger. I was tired of being weak. Defenseless. My wolf stirred. She could get stronger. I knew it. I could feel it. But I didn't know how to tap into the strength I felt inside. “Ready?” Eve purred inside my head. That was the name I'd given her. I mumbled a response.The air outside felt different as I stepped through the door. Almost as if I'd been reborn. I flexed my arms, holding them over my head in turns.“Ready?” she called again, this time almost a whine.I chuckled. “Calm down. W

Luca's POVI tossed about restlessly in bed. The rain splashed in through the windows wetting the floor. I pushed myself up with a groan closing the windows. The ceiling stared back at me as I slipped back into the soft mattress.Jenine's face tugged at my heart making my heartbeat spike. The same feeling I'd had earlier in the afternoon. I clenched my jaw, my hands folding into fists as my heart hammered against my chest. What the hell was this? The bed groaned as I pushed myself up, eyes staring at the window. The storm still raged outside—heavy and unceasing. I made up my mind. My fingers grazed the car keys that lay on the table beside the lamp. On second thought, I left it. Taking a car would draw attention to myself and that was the last thing I wanted. Karl would peer at me suspiciously. My father would want to know what was so important that I had to leave in this storm. Hell, he'd even send some warriors secretly to trail me.I slipped into a black leather jacket. It would

Zonda's POV I stumbled on something without even meaning to. The kind that bears down on you heavily, its weight almost crushing you. Betrayal from someone you'd never expect it from.Dark days were truly upon us. I felt it in my guts. The last time I had this feeling was a very long time ago. Years back when the hair on my head still had the blackness of youth. When a certain Beta had killed his Alpha and taken over the pack.I stalked out of the prison I called home in the young night to look at the stars. Earlier today, I had informed the Alpha of the blood moon that was close by and in his usual grim manner, he had acknowledged my efforts half-heartedly. I didn't blame him. He used to be happier when his Luna, Cora, still drew breath.The still air made the night dull. Ferguson's curfew still held weight. No one was allowed outside after dark. “Whatever happens to you would be solely your fault,” Karl had announced. Well, I still had time. The night had just begun. And I knew n

Jenine's POV I didn't know what I was feeling. My body didn't feel like mine—like someone else was living inside me.“Is that normal?” I asked Laura. I felt everything that person felt.Her dark eyes surveyed me, one hand folded across her chest, the other caressing her chin.“Well. I know she-wolves feel whatever their mates feel after they've been claimed and vice versa. You might be feeling what your mate is feeling,” she said with a glint in her eyes.I'd almost forgotten how annoyingly mischievous she could be. I'd missed it.“I’m not supposed to feel what he's feeling. He hasn't marked me.”“Yet.”I avoided Laura's eyes completely. I could tell she was waiting for my eyes to meet hers.I swirled around turning my back to her as the heat flushed to my cheeks. This was a blessing and a curse. The mate bond. I couldn't think of anything without Luca's face taking over. It felt like being obsessed with someone; that you'd do anything for them. I wondered if he felt the same way.

Luca's POV I don't know which hurt more–my mate avoiding me or her calling me a monster. At that moment, it felt like a thousand knives were thrusted into my chest, cutting out my heart.In the days that followed, I tried everything to get her back but she wouldn't see me. She wouldn't talk to me. She wouldn't even pick my calls. I asked Laura for help.“She won't listen to me,” she said. “Trust me, I've tried.”I pleaded with her to try harder.My father didn't help matters.“You always know how to ruin things,” he said. “Excuses. You never run out of them.”He waved me away without hearing me out.“Bring your mate home or I'll be making arrangements with Alpha Darren.”Only Karl was on my side. I saw the way his eyes softened when he looked at me. Almost like he pitied me. But even he couldn't go against his Alpha's wish.I had no one to confide in. Even Elisha had been distant lately. I called him. He said he had something important to attend to and knowing him, he wouldn't come t
