All Chapters of The Cursed Luna’s Second Chance : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

CHAPTER ONE — THE CURSED LUNAORLENA’S POVToday, Xavren would finally tell the pack the truth.Today, everyone would finally know that I was not the reason he had lost his wolf.He would tell them that I had helped him.He would tell them that I was the one who had saved him years ago when he was attacked in the forest.After all these years of being called the Cursed Luna, I would finally have my name cleared.I could not stop thinking about it as I walked toward the ceremony.The pack had been preparing for this day since morning because Xavren had finally been able to shift again, and everyone was excited to see their Alpha return to the strength he had once possessed.They had whispered whenever I walked past them, pointed at the mark on my body, and called me cursed. Some believed I had brought bad luck to the pack, while others believed I had somehow taken Xavren’s wolf from him.I had never defended myself.I had kept the truth because Xavren had asked me to.But today, that w

CHAPTER THREE — WHAT DID YOU FIND ABOUT HER?DRAYVEN’S POVI had just finished my meeting with the elders when I walked back into my office and closed the door behind me.The meeting had lasted longer than I expected because there were still too many questions about the attack, the men who had ambushed us, and how they had managed to get so close to our territory without being noticed.I walked toward my desk and dropped the reports in my hand on top of it.My side still hurt whenever I moved too quickly, but I ignored the pain. I had dealt with worse.What bothered me more was that we still had no idea who had attacked us or what they wanted.I walked around the desk and sat down in my chair, leaning back as I stared at the reports in front of me.There was a knock on the door.I looked up. “Come in.”The door opened, and my Beta stepped inside.He closed the door behind him before walking toward my desk. “You called for me, Alpha?”I looked at him for a moment.There was something e

CHAPTER FIVE THE MARKORLENA’S POVI did not sleep that night.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the marriage contract lying on the table in front of me, my name written beside Drayven’s as though the decision had already been made.I kept telling myself that I was not going to sign it.I did not know Drayven, and I had no reason to trust him simply because he had given me a place to stay. Xavren had taught me that promises could sound beautiful when they were spoken, only to become weapons when the person making them decided they no longer needed you.Drayven had not promised me love.He had not pretended that he wanted me because his heart had chosen me.He had simply told me that I was useful to him.Strangely, that honesty frightened me less than Xavren's promises ever had.At least I knew what I was dealing with.I turned onto my side and stared through the window at the dark forest beyond the pack grounds. The moonlight fell across the trees, making everything look strangely

Chapter Seven — The Girl in the JournalOrlena had never been afraid of silence before.She had grown up surrounded by it, especially after her grandmother died, when the little house at the edge of the forest became so quiet that even the sound of wind moving through the trees seemed loud enough to wake her from sleep. She had learned to live with empty rooms, unanswered questions, and memories that sometimes felt like pieces of a story someone had torn apart and scattered into different corners of her mind.But this silence was different.This silence belonged to Drayven.She stood alone in the corridor outside his study, staring at the closed door while his words repeated themselves in her head.You are not what they told me you were.He had said it before.She had dismissed it as another one of his mysterious statements, another thing he knew but refused to explain, yet now she could no longer ignore the feeling that Drayven had been keeping something from her from the moment she

Chapter Nine — The Marriage ContractOrlena’s POVI stared at the marriage contract for so long that the words on the page began to blur, not because I could no longer read them, but because my mind had become crowded with everything Drayven had said and everything he had deliberately refused to say.Mira was not the first.She was not the last.And I would not be the last.Those words had followed me out of his study and into my room, lingering in the back of my mind even after I had closed the door behind me. They followed me when I sat by the window, when I tried to sleep, and even when I touched the strange mark on my body and wondered how something I had carried for so many years could suddenly feel like a question rather than a curse.Now the contract lay open before me again.My name was written beside Drayven's.Orlena.Drayven.Two names that had no reason to belong together, yet somehow had been placed on the same page as though someone had decided our paths should cross lon
