Luz X Anne Novels & Stories

Determination, yes, but edged with calculation. “What are you saying?” he asked quietly. “I’m saying,” Leanne replied, rising onto her toes so her mouth was close to his ear, “that you don’t have to break the alliance by force. You only need to make it… unnecessary.” His breath caught. “How?” She pulled back just enough to meet his gaze. “The Sunlit princess isn’t what they think,” she said. “You’ve seen it too, haven’t you? She watches everything, she listens. She’s definitely not weak.”

Her mind again retreated into the memories of a different life. She and Damon sat close together on their tan sofa, the soft light of their brass lamp nearby, a whiskey-and-cola in Damon’s hand and Anne with her hands in her lap and her face turned toward Damon. Ruben stood a short distance away, at the edge of the photo with one hand in his pocket and the other holding his own iced-down mixed drink.

he teased, winking at her. Lune rolled her eyes, but she couldn’t help the smile that tugged at her lips. “Fine, you win.” Together, they moved to strip the sheets, laughing and teasing each other as they did. The morning light filtered through the window, illuminating the renewed bond between them. Despite the awkward start to the day, they both knew they could handle whatever challenges life threw their way—together.

"Honestly I wish I could stay longer but I have to go back. I am trying to catch up with someone. I just wanted to stop by" Lucas nodded and the men hugged again before Henry left. "Oh Lucas I am so exhausted. Please come give me a foot massage will you?" Anne sweetly asked. " I can not just get a moment of rest can I?" Lucas chuckled. "Oh stop that now. It is not easy carrying this family's heir is it?" Anne laughed, interlocking her arm with Lucas'. Two face lying scoundrel. Both of them pivoted and in that instant, Anne's eyes locked with mine. I held her gaze as she climbed up the stairs before turning around and heading for my room.

~~~Luca's POV~~~ The basement feed flickers on my screen like a heartbeat I can't look away from. I have been sitting in my office for hours. Maybe longer. The whiskey in my glass has gone warm, the ice long melted, but I don't pour another. I just watch. The camera in the corner of the basement is old, the image grainy, but I can see her clearly enough. Anne sits on the mattress in the corner. Her back is against the concrete wall. Her knees are pulled to her chest. Her bandaged arm rests in her lap like something broken that she doesn't know how to fix.

I'm also a little shy to talk to them. "You look better today miss Lily!" is Uno. "It's really flattering," said Benj. "No, it's just a little less stressful," I replied to Uno. "Miss Anne still needs a party to bring out her true beauty!" We laughed at what Uno said again. Anne's arrangement may have changed. Anne is beautiful even without makeup. But like I said earlier, she is more blooming and beautiful now. Luke must have taken good care of it. I kept quiet and tried to look at Leigh again. Because I can't join their conversation. I saw the three taking Zaya around each table. I didn't move until the three approached our table. I immediately heard the five bells.

Lawrence greeted Anne first, as he knew that she was now Teddy's mate, even though their union had not yet been official. "Morning, Lawrence. What's the jubilation all about in the pack?" Anne asked, pretending not to know. Lawrence, dressed in a black polo, Jean trousers, and boots, looked over at Anne and relayed to her in a respective manner. "The celebration is because of ex-Luna Charlotte's baby returning home to Beta Paul's residence," Lawrence informed Anne, who scowled. Meanwhile, Anne still desired to be Luna, and Teddy sat in silence on the couch, lost in deep thoughts, as he wore a white robe and black trousers.

ANNALISE In an instant, a mesmerizing light floods the area, captivating my senses. It shimmers with neon rainbow hues, casting a spellbinding glow that engulfs the space. The once-present ceiling has vanished, merging the radiance of the full moon with the vibrant colors. Struggling to shield my eyes from the blinding brilliance, I blink several times. My gaze shifts to my three motionless companions, frozen in time.

“Miss Zimmer.” Luna winked at Anne, deliberately greeting her as if they were merely acquaintances, “You’re out shopping too?” Anne frowned, just about to speak, when Joshua, who was standing opposite her, glanced at Neil slightly, “We meet again.” In front of Luna, Neil didn’t dare to say anything, and could only smile at him in embarrassment, “...Yes, we meet again.” Anne was shocked and speechless. What was going on? Luna was so close with someone like Joshua Lynch?

Anne approached me and placed her hand on my back, rubbing it across my lower back. “You look so beautiful, Raina.” Anne turned to look at me, fixing a piece of hair before stepping back. “Girl, you are going to be lucky if Alpha Callan doesn’t complete the mating process right in the middle of the ceremony!” Lizzie laughed. “Lizzie, seriously?” Her mom swatted at her arm but laughed. I couldn’t help but laugh at Lizzie’s comment. It helped to reduce the nerves that threatened to overtake me.
