All Chapters of The Orphan Luna: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

The cold night air bit at her bare arms, but she barely felt it, her body numb, her mind numb, everything inside her gone quiet like the world had suddenly been muffled. Behind her, through the heavy oak doors, she could still hear the music, the laughter, the clinking of glasses. They were celebrating inside, toasting to fate, toasting to the three perfect couples, and she was out here, alone, forgotten.She forced her legs to move. The path from Alpha Manor wound through the heart of the pack village. Serena kept her head down, her arms wrapped around herself, praying that no one would see her, that no one would notice the girl in the pale blue dress stumbling home with tears on her face.

Everywhere Damien went, someone congratulated him. Everywhere Kieran went, someone asked about wedding plans. Everywhere Lucien went, people spoke of how fortunate they were to have found their fated mates. Yet none of it felt the way they had imagined.Damien sat in his office, staring at a report spread across his desk. He had been reading the same page for several minutes. Not a single word had stayed in his mind. A knock came at the door.“Come in.”Kieran walked inside. He dropped into the chair opposite Damien and let out a long sigh. “You’ve been avoiding everyone.”Damien looked up. “I’ve been busy.”Kieran glanced at the untouched papers on the desk. “Have you?”Damien looked down and gave a small, tired smile. “I’ve been trying.”Another knock interrupted them. Lucien stepped into the office. He greete
