All Chapters of The Luna He Never Deserved: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The Crimson Pack, Southern RegionALPHA CASPIANThree days.Three days had gone without any trace of Kelvin. The mountain wind whipped through my hair, yet the knot in my chest only tightened.My hands remained clasped behind my back, eyes shut.I stretched my senses through every corridor of the palace, beyond its towering walls, into the dense forests that surrounded the Crimson Pack. Sniffing through every heartbeat. Catching every movement, every single snapping twig. Every unfamiliar scent.But... nothing.That kid had become too sly for his own good. And—Cling.I angled my body without breaking posture, turning towards my left. My eyes flared. The white floral vase halted mid-air before it could hit the floor.I held it with my gaze, then set it down softly on the table.My eyes flashed red as I turned to the shivering maiden. She was already on her knees, her forehead pressed against the stone tiles in my room. Beside her lay the brush she'd used to disturb my quiet with her cl

NARAYA“I told you to get some sleep.” Zilla frowned, running a brush through my wet hair. Droplets hit my skin. “Now look at your eyes.”A light giggle escaped my lips as I leaned into the chair, a towel secured around my chest. “It’s all worth it, Toasty.”“You are right.” She beamed, walking over to my closet, pulling out my blue blazer. “Are you sure you wouldn't want me to come along with you?” she muttered, clinking through my things. “You know, as your little support buddy.”I suppressed a rising laugh.“I don't want to be the reason you get hired. Besides, where else will I get all my tasty meals?”“Fine! Fine.” She sighed, returning. “Don't let yourself get intimidated by anyone, okay? Smile, chin up, and get your job, baby.”“Will do, Mother.”She chuckled. “What time is your interview again?”“9 a.m. Raven Cooperation. Others are scheduled all through the weekend.”“If luck shines on us, there would be no need for the others.”“You are right.” I giggled. “Raven has been my

NARAYA“Look who the Moon Goddess decided to shove my way,” she sneered, arms crossed.Shit. That voice.I adjusted myself on the seat. “Mother.”“Shut your mouth.” she snarled. “Don't call me that. You lost that right the last time we spoke.”“If you want money so badly, go sleep with him yourself.” I muttered beneath my breath, lowering my gaze.“What? What did you mutter right now?”A low sigh left my lips. “What are you doing here, Mrs. Veils?”She scoffed, turning sideways.“I owe you no explanation,” she hissed, adjusting a green designer handbag I never knew she possessed. She even looked more radiant than I could remember.“But if you insist...” a smile appeared on her face. “I am here with the Alpha's Luna.”My head snapped.I scanned her face for a joke. For any form of sarcasm, my heart pounding loudly against my chest. “Y…you must be kidding, right?”A dry chuckle shuddered out of her. “You wish.”My hand clutched around my abdomen. Eyes stung with unshed tears, as my gaze

NARAYALike some sort of ill luck, the old man who dropped me off still waited beside his car.He beamed the moment he sighted me.“Did you get the job?”I walked past him with deaf ears, making to hail another cab, my whole body trembling. Eighteen minutes. Eighteen damn minutes cost me my job.My phone rang. I swiped it green at the second ring, pressing it against my ear.“So tell me,” Zilla's voice was bright. “Did you get an office of your own?” She chuckled. “Are there staff calling you ma’am? Are you already swamped with work?”“Zilla,” I whispered.“Do you have a personal coffee machine in your space?” Her voice grew louder and more insistent.“Zilla,” I mumbled.“Hope you didn't—”“Zilla!”She paused, her voice lowering. “What's wrong? Did I call at the wrong time?”I bit my lip, trying to keep my cracked voice from slipping out. But in the end, it won.“I lost the job.”“What?”“I was late.”She chuckled. “Raya… What are you saying? I don't understand.”“RAVEN terminated my

NARAYA“It's about your Mother.” Dad’s voice lowered. “She told me what happened.”“And?” He picked his gaze up at me.“I know she might have pushed you. But what you did was disrespectful.”“And what exactly did she tell you I did?” I folded my arms across my chest.“You slapped her.”A bitter laugh escaped me. “Because she went too far.” My fingers dragged through my hair. “You know what, Dad? If the real reason you came here was to defend Mother, then you should try again another day. I am not ready to hear anything about her.”“What about Roger?” Dad asked quietly. “He called to say he’s unable to get to you. He misses you, Sweetheart. Please give him a chance.”My jaw locked.“A chance to do what exactly?” The words left my mouth sharper than I intended. “Give him another opportunity to destroy me?”“Naraya, that's not—”“You and Mother are very much alike, Dad,” I spat. “But do you know what I like more about Mother?”He lowered his gaze.“At least she doesn't hide her contempt
