All Chapters of The Worthless Luna He Lost: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ayla KorrFor a few seconds, no one said anything.Neither did I.Vesper’s hand remained resting over her belly when the first murmurs began around the table.Pregnant.The word seemed to have gotten stuck somewhere between my chest and my throat.I looked at her.Then at Darian.He had stood up.“You’re pregnant?”There was no coldness in his voice now. There was something else, something completely unfamiliar to me.Passion.Vesper nodded.“My healer examined me this morning. I wanted to be sure before telling you.”Darian’s eyes dropped to her hand, to her belly.And then it happened.He smiled.And that made everything around me go dark.In the first year of our marriage, when my cycle was six days late, Darian found me sitting on the bed counting dates for the third time.He hadn’t said much.He had simply knelt in front of me, placed his hand over my belly, and smiled that way.Two days later, I started bleeding.I never saw that expression again.Until now.“Darian?”Lord Hale’

Ayla Korr“Including anything of yours.”For a moment, I thought I had heard wrong.Vesper was still standing in front of my mirror, smoothing my dress with both hands while staring at me with a damned smile on her face.“Take it off.”She turned her head over her shoulder to look directly at me.“Ayla—”“I said take off the dress.”My voice came out louder.Vesper blinked a few times.“Darian said I could use whatever I needed.”“I don’t care what Darian said…”Her expression changed as soon as I answered. She seemed amused by my response.“It’s just a dress.”“It’s my dress.”I walked toward her, holding myself back from slapping her across the face.I was tired.Tired of the Council.Of breakfast.Of the flowers.Of servants running through the corridors with gifts for Vesper’s baby while forgetting to even put hot food on my plate.Tired of taking deep breaths.Of counting to ten.Of pretending none of it hurt because a Luna needed to maintain her dignity.I gripped her arm firmly

Ayla Korr“Are you done?”“Not yet.”I tried to go around her again.“You know what I think is saddest?” she asked.I kept walking.“You still believe you can stay.”I stopped, even though I knew I shouldn’t.Vesper continued:“You still walk through these halls as if you own this house.”I turned slowly.“I am the Luna.”“For now.”My wolf stirred inside me.“Be careful.”“Of what?”She laughed softly.“You?”I said nothing.“Ayla, look at your situation.”She gestured around us.“The servants no longer respect you. The Council thinks you’re incapable of fulfilling your role. Your father can barely look at you.”Every sentence was carefully chosen.“And Darian...”She sighed.“Darian is finally going to get what he wanted.”“You seem very sure of yourself for someone who needs to steal another man’s wife’s dresses.”Her face hardened for a second, then she continued.“I’m not stealing anything. Darian gave it to me.”“Darian can’t give away something that doesn’t belong to him.”“Do y

Ayla KorrI spent the rest of the day and the entire night in a cell.No food or anything else besides the bars.Water only appeared after I hit the bars so many times that one of the guards finally decided that even a murderer needed to drink.That was what I was now.Not Luna.Not the Alpha’s wife.Murderer.At least to everyone in that house.I spent hours reliving Vesper’s fall.That damned smile.The moment she threw herself backward.She had risked her own life.The life of her own child.All to destroy me.And it had worked.When they opened the cell the next morning, I was still wearing the same dress. My hair was disheveled, my cheek still hurt from Darian’s slap, and purplish bruises were beginning to appear on my arms.“Walk.”The guard didn’t call me Luna.None of them did.I was led through the halls of the estate like someone who no longer belonged there.People stopped to stare.Some whispered.Others simply turned their faces away.When the doors to the Council hall op

Ayla KorrMy room was no longer mine.I discovered that when I returned from the hearing and found two maids removing the last clothes from the wardrobe. One of them was folding my dresses on the bed while the other closed a suitcase I recognized as mine.I stopped in the doorway.“What are you doing?”The older maid looked up, but she didn’t seem embarrassed at being caught going through my things.“Alpha’s orders.”I looked at the open suitcase.“What orders?”“You will no longer be staying in the Alpha’s wing.”For a few seconds, I couldn’t answer.That room had never truly been mine. Nothing in that house was. Even so, I had slept there for two years. I had cried there, waited for Darian to come back there, spent nights imagining what it would be like when we finally had a child.Even the dress I had bought for a pregnancy that never happened had remained hidden in that wardrobe.Now I didn’t even have that.“Where are you taking my things?”“To the east wing.”The east wing was i
