Lumine X Novels & Stories

Luiz said patting some of the content of the bottle he has with him on my face. “ and then the foundation” Sera cheered “Use your brush tó evenly distribute your makeup on your beautiful face just like this” Luiz said while applying the foundation to my face. “And next is your concealer” Sera squealed handing a lipstick-like container to Luiz. “So Monna, this what you need the most on days like this, it is to be applied to cover dark circles and those bags you have there just like this,” he said applying it to my face with a brush

"Keep the perimeter tightened. If Tristan breaches it again, I want a report—and then I’ll handle the burial myself." Samuel bowed and retreated, leaving Lucien alone. His thoughts, usually as cold and calculating as a machine, drifted to the way Xender’s eyes had caught the light in the restaurant. He had designed that 'Eternity' series—a weapon disguised as a vow. It was brilliant. And Xender, in his modest, understated way, was the most lethal thing Lucien had ever encountered. The phone rang. It was Xender. Lucien answered, his voice dropping into a register that was almost a purr.

"What about Lumi?" Liora's expression shifted. Something moved behind the clinical composure. Not warmth exactly, but recognition. The look of someone hearing a name they've thought about more than they'd admit. "Lumi's essence fused with Lulu during the original severance. But the fusion wasn't total. The core of Lumi, the part that was yours, your wolf's consciousness, her specific awareness, it's been dormant inside the bond residue. Scattered between you and Lulu like sediment in still water." She paused. "If you initiate a new bond, the ritual will draw those fragments back to their origin. To you. Lumi reconstitutes inside you. She comes back."

When the line finally dwindled, giving us both a moment to breathe, Caterina pulled me aside. With a suddenly worried look, she asked, "Did your mate bond with Luciano De Luca give you away?" "Luna?" I asked internally. She would know more about my scent and the effects of my bond with Luciano. "The scent is concealed," Luna assured me. "That is not how he knew." I shook my head at Caterina. "It shouldn’t have. Not with my scent repressed." Years ago, Luna and I had studied and developed a method to reduce my scent. Utilizing Luna’s abilities, we could repress the pheromones I released, making the environment more comfortable for my patients.

He believed that top powers like the Grandiuno Sacred Land must have magical elixirs like the Supreme Advancing Pill, which almost meant that Severin had already half-stepped into the supreme paragon. Sherman firmly believed in the words of his Ancestora. Lumino was a powerful semi-immortal, and his use of the emperor's energy-gazing technique was far beyond that of ordinary people. His turbid eyes could detect illusions and detect destiny. It did not take much effort for Lumino to see through Severin's character and age. "Haha, you are humble, I think highly of you!" Lumino couldn't help but laugh heartily when he saw Severin who was full of self-effacement. Seeing Severin's qualifications

“He believed the Luna light was meant to balance alphas, not threaten them. Your pack feared it. Ours hid it.” Beside the stone, I dropped to one knee, fingertips brushing shallow lines cut into the rock. Without warning, golden light swelled from the Luna source, spilling warmth across the weathered grooves. From where they stood far off, Velvet Claw wolves let out sharp breaths. Wide-eyed, Jax stared. “It’s stronger here,” I whispered. “Like the land remembers.” Lucas stayed close, his presence a grounding force. “It’s beautiful,” he said honestly. “Different from ours, but strong. Maybe the two packs can learn from each other.”

I had stood in front of all these people and told my truth. As I returned to my booth, the questions started coming. A woman in a smart blazer raised her hand first. “What inspired the name Lumina Bloom?” I smiled, stepping forward confidently. “Lumina means light, and Bloom represents growth. I wanted to create a brand that reminds people they can rise and shine, even after difficult times. Beauty isn’t just about appearance, it’s about feeling strong from within.” The audience clapped. A few people nodded in agreement. Another person asked about the ingredients. I explained the natural formulations, the careful testing, and why I avoided harsh chemicals. More applause.

Alpha Carlo teased us, chuckling and making me blush more. Fortunately, the Luna came to the rescue. She elbowed Alpha Carlo and took over the conversation. "Don't mind him. He should have introduced me to you, not teased you." She smiled before extending her hand to me. "I'm Helena, the Luna of Crimson Howl. It's Amerie, right? Nice to finally meet you, Amerie. I hear a lot about you." The way she behaved reminded me of my mother. She was indeed the real Luna.

Lumiére muttered under his breath, his voice filled with resignation. He took the glass that was on the bedside table and quickly drank the crimson fluid inside, closing his eyes as the liquid coursed down his throat. The effects were immediate, and he could feel his energy and power being restored to their former glory. After taking a deep sigh of relief, he climbed out of bed and made his way to the bathroom. He knew that in about fifteen minutes, Middleton would be arriving at his door, ready to assist him for the night ahead. Lumiére had a feeling that this night was going to be long, and he had to prepare himself mentally and physically for it.

"It’s a squeeze. Lumina is in bed with Cross Empire. They’ve had an exclusive distribution deal for ten years." "And that deal," Aurora said, tapping the screen, "expires next month." She looked at the men. "He knows," she said. "Liam knows we are bidding. He’s using his leverage to shut us out before we can even present." "He is protecting his territory," Elias said. "It is... expected." "It is not protection," Aurora snapped. "It is strangulation. If we lose Lumina, we lose the projection for Q3. We lose the momentum." She walked to the window. Three blocks away, the Cross Empire tower loomed, a monolith of steel and glass.
