Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Luna He Marked To Silence the Truth: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Aria's POV“I need a formal separation.” At the Pack Registry, I pushed the severance papers across the desk. My voice was calm.“I’m sorry, ma’am.” He pushed the papers back. “I can’t process this for you.”“Why not?” I frowned. “According to pack law, I have the right to file for a unilateral…”“It’s not about the law.” The clerk swallowed hard and pointed at the heavy leather ledger. “It’s because… in the Pack Registry, you were never the Luna of the Silverpaw pack.”I froze.“The records show that Alpha Caleb only marked you. He never filed the paperwork.” The clerk lowered his voice. “Officially, the two of you were never mated.”It didn’t count.My mind roared. In that one second, everything I believed in turned to ash.Behind me, two guards sorting files started whispering.“See? I told you. No way the Alpha was going to let some common herbalist be his real Luna.”“I remember that day two years ago. The Alpha said it himself: ‘Since I can’t have the woman I truly want, I won’t

Aria's POVThe heat of the fire scorched my face.I stared at Chloe, pinned under the burning rubble, my feet nailed to the ground.Two minutes ago, I was praying to be free of this woman, to escape her and her selfish brother forever.But watching her about to be consumed by flames… my conscience screamed.I was a healer. I couldn’t just watch someone burn alive.“Aria! Help me!” Chloe’s sobs were ragged, hysterical.I gritted my teeth. I ripped off my coat, covered my mouth, and ran into the flames.The smoke was so thick I couldn’t see.I rushed to her side and dug my fingers under the massive wooden pillar pinning her legs.With every last bit of strength I had, I heaved, lifting the pillar just an inch.“Crawl! Now!” I roared, my voice raw.Chloe scrambled free.I grabbed her arm and dragged her toward the exit.We were inches from escaping.CRACK!A sharp snap echoed from above.A burning section of the roof broke free and came hurtling down, smashing directly into my right shoul

Aria's POVCaleb changed my bandages himself. Then he carried me down to the silver-lined cell in the basement, the one used to isolate feral wolves.The walls were coated in high-purity silver dust, pressing down on what little wolf energy I had left.“I know this isn’t comfortable, but Rowan’s diagnosis means you have to stay here for a few days to calm the public down.”Caleb tucked a soft cashmere blanket around me and placed a container with a prime steak next to the bed. “Don’t be afraid. It will all be over in a few days. I’ll be back to see you later.”He gently stroked my cheek. He even leaned down and pressed a long, loving kiss to my forehead.I closed my eyes, too tired to even struggle.The second the lock clicked shut, my eyes snapped open. I leaned over the side of the bed and dry-heaved.Suddenly, I heard hushed voices outside the cell door.It was Caleb and Rowan.“You think locking her up with a fake diagnosis is a good idea? She’ll hate you for this,” Caleb’s voice w

Caleb's POVThe bedroom was empty.The bed was untouched. The curtains were drawn. Even her faint scent of herbs—and my own Alpha mark on her—was gone."Aria?" My voice echoed in the empty room. No answer.I spun around and ran out, nearly crashing into Tessa as she passed with a tray.The tray hit the floor with a clatter of shattering porcelain."Where is she?" I grabbed Tessa's arm. My grip was so tight she grunted in pain. The Alpha rage was tearing through my veins. "Talk!"But Tessa didn't flinch or cower like she usually did. She looked up, her eyes empty of fear. There was only a cold, detached calm."Miss Aria asked me to give you a message." She spoke each word clearly, as if reciting a memorized script. "She said you never registered her as Luna. You never sealed the bond at the Moon Goddess's altar. The bond is a lie. She severed the tie. You're done."The blood drained from my face.It felt like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over my head, the chill seeping into my

Caleb's POVThe laughter from inside the room was sickly sweet. It made my stomach turn.I froze, my hand reaching for the door, but Rowan grabbed my wrist.His face was ashen, his lips a thin, tight line. He shook his head silently.He didn't look like he was trying to hide something. He looked… terrified.I fought down the rage boiling in my blood and pressed my ear to the door."...once the ceremony is done, who cares when I got knocked up," Chloe's voice was lazy, full of smug satisfaction. "The only reason I rushed the union was to cover it up.""What?" her friend gasped. "You're pregnant? With who?""Remember that Rogue attack on the border?" Chloe let out a little laugh, as if talking about the weather. "Some low-life wolf. A one-night thing. Who knew it would be so easy to get knocked up. An abortion would be too painful. I can't handle that. Once the ceremony is over, I'll find a way to give Rowan a pure-blooded pup. No one will ever know."My mind went blank. Something shatte
