All Chapters of THE LUNA HE DENIED : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The words echoed in my ears like a cruel curse.She is not worthy to be my Luna……not worthy to be the mother of my child.For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.My entire body went cold, as if all the warmth inside me had been drained in an instant. I stood frozen at the doorway, my fingers clutching the pregnancy report so tightly that the paper crumpled beneath my grip.Not worthy…Not worthy to be his Luna.Not worthy to carry his child.A bitter taste rose in my throat.Someone inside suddenly turned toward the entrance. “Oh—look who’s here.”That single sentence shattered the fragile stillness. Heads turned one after another, their gazes landing on me like sharp blades.The laughter didn’t stop.If anything, it grew louder.“Well, well,” one woman said mockingly, crossing her arms as she looked me up and down. “Speak of the rogue, and she appears.”Another man chuckled.“Didn’t expect you to show up tonight. Or did you come chasing after Alpha Kael again?”More laughter followed

“What?”The single word echoed sharply inside my head, filled with disbelief.My heart pounded violently in my chest.Who… was that?Why could I hear someone’s voice inside my mind?Panic clawed its way up my throat as I stared blankly ahead, my fingers tightening around the hospital sheets.The woman beside me—Mira—leaned forward anxiously.“Aria? What did you say?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly.I swallowed hard, my throat painfully dry.“I…” My voice came out hoarse and weak. “Who… are you?”The moment the words left my lips, the room fell completely silent.Mira froze.Her grip on my hand loosened slowly, her face draining of color.“What… Did you just say?” she whispered.Her voice sounded small.Fragile.Fear flickered in her eyes.Inside my mind, the male voice spoke again—this time slower, colder.“Stop this nonsense,” he said sharply. “You caused an accident, embarrassed the pack again, and now you pretend not to recognize me?”Embarrassed the pack?Pretend?None of

“That child better be mine.”The words settled into the room like poison.Cold.Sharp.Unforgiving.For a moment, no one spoke.Not Mira.Not the doctor.Not even me.I just stared at Alpha Kael, my hand still resting protectively over my stomach, my heart pounding wildly in my chest.Pregnant.The word still echoed in my mind like a distant bell.Pregnant… with his child?I didn’t remember loving him.Didn’t remember touching him.I didn't remember anything at all.And yet… my body reacted instinctively when he questioned the child.Something fierce and protective rose inside my chest.“How could you say that?” Mira snapped suddenly, her voice shaking with anger.Kael didn’t even look at her.His cold gaze remained fixed on me.Unmoving.Unsoftened.“I’m asking a reasonable question,” he replied flatly.Reasonable?My fingers tightened over the blanket.His words stung… even though I didn’t understand why.“I…” My voice trembled. “Why would you think that?”Kael’s jaw tightened sligh

Three weeks later, Aria had learned that surviving was very different from living.Ashbourne was a quiet town filled with narrow streets, small shops, and houses with faded paint. Nobody knew her name. Nobody cared that she had once been destined to become the Luna of one of the strongest werewolf packs in the country.To everyone here, she was simply a young woman looking for work.And that was exactly what she wanted.She found a small room above a bakery owned by a middle-aged woman named Mrs. Evelyn Hart.The room had a narrow bed, a tiny wardrobe, and a window overlooking the street.It wasn't much.But it was hers."You can pay me at the end of the month," Evelyn had told her when she first arrived. "Provided you help around the bakery when you can."Aria had nearly cried at the kindness.She had spent years believing that her future was secure because she had a mate.Now she was discovering that kindness could come from complete strangers.Every morning, she helped Evelyn prepa

Kael had faced armed enemies without flinching.He had watched rival Alphas challenge his authority, negotiated dangerous alliances, and fought through battles that left blood soaking into the earth.None of those moments had prepared him for the sight of Aria standing before him with one hand protectively resting on her stomach.His child.He was going to be a father.The realization should have filled him with joy.Instead, it came wrapped in a suffocating mixture of disbelief, fear, and regret."How far along are you?" he asked.Aria's expression remained guarded."Far enough.""Aria—""I have a name, Kael. You don't have to keep saying it as though that gives you a right to stand here."He closed his mouth.She looked exhausted.Not merely physically tired, but worn down in a way that made something twist painfully inside him.Her cheeks were thinner than he remembered. Her clothes were simple, and there was a faint crease between her brows that hadn't been there before.She looke
