BORN TO BE A LUNA 53.
Aria's POV"Which Kairo are you talking about?"Nicholas's eyes shot daggers at me, and the frown on his forehead also became more visible as he grabbed my wrist. There was no hint of idea etched on his face: it was blank and confused."Stop fooling around! I know you know what I'm talking about!" I growled.His jaw clenched, and I could feel his self-control. But I couldn't be wrong. I am infallible that it was Kairo. It must be him. "What the heck are you talking about, Aria?"He won't admit it. 'He obviously didn't know, Aria,' Kaia annoyingly butts in. 'Stop initiating a fight.'Fine! I wouldn't press this matter further. However, I certainly won't let this pass. If Nicholas can hide things from me, then I'll unravel each of them until he has no more secrets to hide. He had to wait for it. I heaved a sigh and met Nicholas's gaze. "Forget what I said...it was actually just an act. I kinda plan to be an actress."It was the most implausible explanation I could think of, yet noth
BORN TO BE A LUNA 54.
Aria's POVMy plan went down the drain when Nicholas came. His judging eyes pierced through me while Elora excused herself. I calmly sipped my coffee, acting as if everything was normal and there was nothing to worry about.For once, I begged fate to be on my side, but it constantly got in the way. Thinking about everything, especially the secrets Nicholas is keeping from me, does not make me feel at ease. I swore to accept everything he could give me, no matter how bad it was. However, I couldn't help but feel how unjust our situation is."What did Elora do here?"I didn't glance at him and kept my gaze set on the horizon. "She brought my coffee."There were no follow-up inquiries, and I sensed Nicholas' leave as the mood lightened. I sighed and distracted myself by playing with my nails. Just the other day, we were okay, and then suddenly, everything changed. It was my fault, alright.This developing passion within me is vile; it has torn me between humbleness and fighting for my ri
BORN TO BE A LUNA 55.
Aria's POV"Please save our parents, Aria. I begged you."It was Mysha's first text message to me in six months. She seems to have no option but to humble herself to save the person she has worked so hard to protect. I was torn. I am not just my parent's daughter but also the Pack's Luna. My choice should be free of bias. It must always be logical. Even though I know Nicholas is only using me, I have accepted the position, and it would be a betrayal to abandon Red Moonians to save my parents, who are the source of their misery. They have suffered as a result of my parent's pride, and they deserve justice."I told you your parents aren't here, unlike what your sister claimed," Nicholas shouts angrily."Mysha won't come here to presume anything," I say gently.I'm familiar with my sister. She is not like me, who acts irrationally most of the time. She must have had a reason for coming here earlier; it cannot have been merely a simple assumption that Nicholas had taken our parents into
BORN TO BE A LUNA 56.
Aria's POVThe next morning, I was awakened by a tremendous boom that had penetrated my chamber. I rubbed my eyes before glancing at the vacant side of the bed. Nicholas had to have risen early. I got up slowly, putting the comforter over my body, and went straight to the balcony to check the commotion.The scene that greeted me threw my system into confusion. The once-organized pack was packed with people, which was not normal. A few familiar faces ran through my eyes, and I couldn't help but gasp in surprise.With my pajamas, I immediately left the room and went straight downstairs. The doors were shut, and a few omega's stood at the threshold like some kind of military blocking the way."What's going on?" I exclaimed, walking straight to Elora.The sense of being idealess burst through my body, followed by a burning perplexity that was now slowly turning into wrath. Even the members of Rojo La Luna were present among the residents of the homestead. Trying to process what had transp
BORN TO BE A LUNA 57.
Aria's POV I let myself soak in my own sea of misery. Questioning my worth and all that I possess. Am I not worthy of genuine connection and happiness? Kaia accompanied me through this journey of pain. She stayed with me. She didn't say any comforting words, but she acted it out—making me feel less alone...just what I needed. My wolf is way better than that fucking connection everyone called, mate. I bent over, head on my knees, playing with the soil beneath with a thin stick I picked on my route here— hill. The sun had just started to set a scorching heat because it was almost noon. It's been four hours since I came here to breathe and let myself digest everything that had been happening. In the span of three days, a lot of revelations has unfold in front of me, and half of it was so heavy for me to handle. I was molded tough by my grandma, but for once, I felt so weak—too weak to fight—too weak to live. Sometimes, I wonder if she'd get mad at me if I followed her one of these d
BORN TO BE A LUNA 58.
Aria's POV A strong slap landed on my face that I didn't immediately dodge because my eyes were so occupied staring at Nicholas. His bloodshot eyes and clenched jaws make him hot, but this isn't a time for romance. This man I am facing brings me a million pain, and my feelings shouldn't get in the way of him fooling me over and over again. Once is understandable: Twice is bearable: Thrice is too much. I caressed my cheeks as they started stinging, enabling me to glance at the person who slapped me. Natasha. I clenched my teeth in rage, and all I saw was red. She had the audacity to slap me in front of everyone. In spite of the fact that Nicholas and I are currently in a sticky situation. I am still the Luna. They had to respect me as is, if not as a person. "You don't deserve to be a Luna, you disrespectful daughter of a cunt!" exclaimed Natasha. My lips rose into a sarcastic smirk as I bit my lower lip to calm myself down. "Why don't you ask me if I want to be Luna, too?"
BORN TO BE A LUNA 59.
Aria's POVAfter a week, everything is once more at peace. Mysha did not text me again. I thus question if all that happened was simply a miscalculation. However, it wasn't appropriate for her to come here and level such a serious charge. Regardless of whether Mysha is wrong or right, my trust in the Sainthood brothers, especially those below us, has been shaken. Once broken, it would never be whole again. Pain it was, but I'll endure and pathetically stay regardless."Why are we serving the daughter of the man who made us all miserable?" a certain voice rang in my ear. "Alpha's order, we must obey," answered another.I smile bitterly and pretend unconcerned about everything. Indeed, the past has a significant impact on someone else's future. My parents' past is my current suffering. I'd say a thousand times that a daughter should not bear the sins of her parents. Everyone used to say, "To each his own." But what happened?"Aria," Salvy exclaimed as she approached me, but I quickly
BORN TO BE A LUNA 60.
Aria's POVElora, Salvy, and I have yet to settle our problem, but they have assisted me in gathering the omega. I've already briefed them on what to do if a rogue gets in. I've also dispatched she-wolf warriors to guard households with vulnerable members.Everything was in order, and everyone was waiting for my signal. Thankfully, despite the pandemonium caused by my parents, Mysha, and myself last week. Everyone strangely followed my command without inquiry. Perhaps because some still regard me as their Luna while others are obliged to follow."Aria," Elora tried to talk to me, but I shut her off."Not now, Elora."Kaia has already taken over my senses, and so far, I haven't detected any strange scents on the horizon. Maybe Nicholas and the others were able to keep the renegade at bay. Yet, given who the Alpha of the pack was, why would they dare to cross the border?"I just wanted to know if you've seen Natasha. We haven't seen her and..." Elora looks to Salvy, unsure whether to co
