All Chapters of THE RISE OF THE CHUBBY LUNA : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 11 —Addicted to my scent Evelyn’s POVBreakfast with Alpha Raphael was painfully silent.The only sounds in the dining room were the clinking of spoons against plates and the faint rustling of curtains as the morning wind passed through the open windows.I sat across from him nervously, trying not to stare. Trying not to think about the previous night.Unfortunately, my mind refused to cooperate.Every time I looked up, I remembered Annabelle standing in his room. Remembered how naturally she belonged there and somehow, despite trying not to care anymore, my chest still hurt.Raphael, on the other hand, looked entirely unaffected, cold, composed, and Unreadable.As if nothing had happened.I lowered my gaze quickly and took another small bite of bread. The food tasted amazing as always, but today I barely noticed it.The silence stretched endlessly between us until finally, I couldn’t take it anymore.“Alpha Raphael?”His dark eyes lifted toward me immediately. “What?”I swal

Chapter 13 —Trouble looming Evelyn’s POVThe next morning felt strangely quiet.When I entered the dining room for breakfast, Alpha Raphael was nowhere to be seen.For some reason, disappointment settled quietly in my chest. I immediately hated myself for it.Why was I even expecting him?The dining room was already prepared beautifully as always. Warm sunlight streamed through the tall windows, reflecting against the golden decorations and making the room glow softly.Today’s breakfast was much lighter than the previous ones.A plate of avocado salad sat neatly beside scrambled eggs sprinkled with herbs I couldn’t pronounce.There was also warm tea in a delicate cup that looked far too expensive for someone like me to touch.I sat carefully while Clare stood beside me with patient amusement in her eyes.“You’re holding the fork wrong again,” she said gently.I sighed dramatically. “This thing has too many rules.”Clare laughed softly before adjusting my hand properly.“The other for

Chapter 15 — negotiations over Evelyn’s POVThe atmosphere inside my room felt unusually tense as Clare moved around preparing me for the meeting.For some reason, she looked excited in a way that irritated me.It was strange considering Alpha Raphael had nearly strangled his Beta earlier that morning.Meanwhile, I sat stiffly before the mirror while Clare brushed carefully through my hair.“You’re smiling too much,” I muttered suspiciously.Clare grinned through the mirror. “I can’t help it.”I frowned slightly. “Why?”Instead of answering immediately, she placed the brush aside and crossed her arms dramatically.“Because,” she announced, “I think the Alpha has fallen for you.”I nearly choked on air. “What?”Clare laughed softly at my horrified expression. “I’m serious.”“No, you’re not.” I frowned.“I am.”I turned fully toward her. “Clare, Raphael almost killed beta Damien today.”“Exactly.” She blinked.“That is not romantic!”Clare rolled her eyes. “You don’t understand male wo

Chapter 17 — watching herRaphael’s POV“I should have ripped his throat out.”My voice thundered across the office as I slammed both hands against the desk.The heavy wood cracked slightly beneath the force. Damien sighed from where he stood nearby. “For Moon Goddess’ sake, Raphael, calm down.”“Calm down?” I spun toward him sharply.“That bastard sat in my hall and asked for her like she was some object to be traded.”Damien folded his arms calmly. “Alpha Kai says outrageous things to provoke people. Everyone knows that.”“I don’t care.” I said, but I truly didn’t.The memory alone increased the fury boiling beneath my skin.The way Kai stared at Evelyn, the hunger in his eyes, and the way Evelyn sat there in that God damned dress looking soft and beautiful and completely unaware of what she was doing to every male inside that room.A dangerous growl rose inside my chest. Damien noticed immediately.“You’re doing it again.”My jaw clenched. “Doing what?”“Losing control over her.”I

Chapter 19 — in too deep Raphael’s POVThe silence in my office felt unbearable.I stood near the balcony with both hands gripping the railing tightly while darkness slowly swallowed the pack grounds outside.Yet no matter how hard I tried to focus, all I could see was Evelyn’s face.Those wounded eyes, and the tears she tried hiding from me. A sharp irritation twisted violently inside my chest.Not at her, but at myself. I exhaled harshly.Why did she always affect me like this? Every single conversation with her somehow became complicated, messy, and emotional . And I hated emotions.They weakened judgment, clouded reason, and made men reckless.Exactly what had happened to my father before he died.I closed my eyes briefly. Then suddenly, I heard a familiar voice.“You handled that poorly.” Damien’s voice broke through the silence behind me.I didn’t turn around.“What do you want?” I asked.He walked further into the office calmly. “I watched what happened in the hallway.”Of c
