I Am Luna

Am Jahrestag unserer Paarung hatte ich die Beine um meinen Alpha Adrian geschlungen, während wir uns in einem tiefen Kuss verloren. Meine Fingerspitzen streiften die versteckte Tasche meines Seidenkleides, und meine Hand umklammerte den Schwangerschaftstest, den ich dort verborgen hielt. Ich spürte das zarte Flattern neuen Lebens in mir und plante, ihm diese Überraschung als perfekten Abschluss unseres Abends zu schenken. In diesem Moment sprach Adrians Beta Ethan mit leiser, neckischer Stimme – in der Alten Sprache. „Alpha, diese kleine Schwägerin von dir ... die frisch gereifte Wölfin Zoe. Wie hat sie geschmeckt?“ Adrians tiefes, anzügliches Schmunzeln drang an mein Ohr, leise, doch schneidend klar. Er antwortete in derselben alten Sprache: „Kennst du eine frisch gereifte Chilischote? Heiß, mit ordentlich Biss.“ Seine Hand strich noch immer über meine Taille, doch sein Blick war bereits woanders. „Halt es einfach geheim. Wenn meine Luna davon erfährt, ist alles vorbei.“ Die anderen Betas lachten wissend auf und hoben ihre Gläser – ein stummes Versprechen, sein Geheimnis zu wahren. Doch eine eisige Kälte durchströmte mich, und meine innere Wölfin erstarrte, als wäre sie gestorben. Er wusste nicht, dass ich für meine Forschung zu Werwolf-Traumata die Alte Sprache studiert hatte. Ich verstand jedes einzelne Wort. Ich hielt die Tränen zurück und zwang mich, ungerührt zu wirken, während ich die Fassung bewahrte, die man von einer Luna erwartete. Statt ihn zur Rede zu stellen, sandte ich eine magisch abgeschirmte Nachricht an Älteste Slone von der Vereinigung der Werwolf-Heiler und nahm die Einladung an, die sie mir ausgesprochen hatte. In drei Tagen würde ich mich einem geschützten Werwolf-Rehabilitationsprogramm anschließen – als neue leitende Therapeutin – und für immer aus Adrians Welt verschwinden.

"Are you sure you want to do this? If you go through it, you’ll no longer be Luna and might become a rogue." "I'm sure." I removed our wedding ring, which he slipped into my fingers three years back on the desk as payment. "Alright, when your werewolf Valentine’s Day arrives, I’ll help you break the mate bond with Alpha Owen." The witch used a dagger to cut my palm and let the blood pour into a test tube. Ten days later, I endured the unbearable pain of severing the mate bond. I changed the surname I had followed for three years, obtained a new identity, and drove away from the Starry Pack in a second-hand car bought from the black market. Owen, you will never find me again. You should have known it would end like this from the day you betrayed me. One month later, a question exploded on social media, spiraling out of control. #Where did Luna Kya go?#

Ethan and I have been in a mate bond since six years ago. He was the Alpha of our pack. Our twin pups were going to have their fifth birthday, and I wanted to set up a bloodline trust fund for them. However, due to their special positions as the Alpha’s heirs, the trust fund required a blood verification to confirm their lineage. But after the verification, I was shocked to find that our blood couldn’t blend together. It meant I wasn’t the biological mother-wolf of the twin pups. The Inheritance Officer looked at me sympathetically and said, “I’m sorry, but this trust fund can only be established by their biological mother-wolf.” I froze for a moment and said, “There must be some kind of mistake. I can call the midwife wolf who helped me deliver them to testify. I am their mother-wolf!” “As you can see, your blood isn’t merging with theirs, but their blood is merging with the Alpha’s. So these twin pups are indeed the Alpha’s. You’re not their biological mother-wolf. Let me see… Here, their biological mother-wolf should be Helena Grayback. I’m sorry. They have nothing to do with you.” Helena? I felt completely shocked. My mind went blank. I hadn’t heard that name in a long time. She was Ethan’s first love. Helena was from a pack that had a longstanding hatred for ours. They couldn’t be together back then, but now, it turned out that the twin pups I had struggled to carry and give birth to were actually Ethan and Helena’s.

It was nearing Elizabeth's eighteenth birthday and strange things were happening. Strange things usually happened to her, none that could ever be explained. She was just a normal human girl, who happened to be extremely fast and strong. As her birthday approached she heard this voice in her head, it had always been there but muffled, but now as it grew nearer the voice became louder and more pronounced. When she would ask her mother, she would just brush it off saying it was all in Elizabeth's head. But was something else happening? Did her mother know about it? Is there something different about her? Will she ever learn her families secrets and find out who and what she really is?

En el aniversario de nuestra unión como compañeros, mis piernas rodeaban a mi Alfa, Adrian, mientras compartíamos un beso profundo. Mis dedos rozaron el bolsillo oculto de mi vestido de seda, mi mano se apretó alrededor de la prueba de embarazo que había escondido allí. Sentí el leve aleteo de una nueva vida dentro de mí, estaba planeando darle esta sorpresa como el final perfecto para nuestra velada. Justo entonces, el Beta de Adrian, Ethan, habló en voz baja y burlona, usando la Lengua Antigua. —Alfa, esa cuñada tuya... la loba recién madurada, Zoe. ¿Qué tal estaba? La risita baja y sugerente de Adrian llegó a mis oídos, silenciosa pero penetrantemente clara. Respondió en la misma lengua antigua. —¿Has probado los frescos chiles maduros? Son picantes, con un buen toque de sabor. Su palma aún acariciaba mi cintura, pero su mirada se había desviado a otro lado. —Solo guarda silencio. Si mi Luna se entera, se acabó. Los otros Betas soltaron risitas cómplices, alzando sus copas en una promesa silenciosa de guardar el secreto. Pero un escalofrío me recorrió el cuerpo, y mi loba interior se aquietó, como si hubiera muerto. Él no sabía que yo había estudiado la Lengua Antigua para mi investigación sobre el trauma de los hombres lobo. Entendía cada palabra. Contuve las lágrimas, obligándome a mostrarme impasible, manteniendo la compostura que se esperaba de una Luna. En lugar de enfrentarlo, envié un mensaje protegido mágicamente a la Anciana Slone de la Asociación de Sanadores de Hombres Lobo, aceptando la invitación que me había extendido. En tres días, me uniría a un programa de rehabilitación de hombres lobo de alta seguridad como su nueva Terapeuta Principal y desaparecería para siempre del mundo de Adrian.

Die königliche Prinzessin der Wölfe würde einst die Königin der Stürme werden, die Luna des Regens. Nach dem Verrat, der ihre Eltern tötete, war Raina gezwungen, unterzutauchen. Jahrelang gab sie sich als wolfslose Omega aus und trainierte heimlich ihre Kräfte, bis die Zeit gekommen war, ihren Thron zurückzuerobern. Überfälle durch Einzelgänger-Wölfe, Verrat, unvorhergesehene Visionen und ein ahnungsloser Gefährte brachten Raina immer wieder aus der Bahn, doch ihr Ziel blieb stets dasselbe: ihre Eltern zu rächen und die Werwolfrasse vor dem Mann zu retten, der sie stürzen wollte.
