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?"

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

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

Aria's POVThe pack doctor immediately aided Natasha after we returned to the packhouse. However, it'll probably take her some days to heal her wounded face. Mazz was too cruel and abusive to punch Natasha, considering he was a man. It served him right that she rejected him as a mate. He doesn't deserve her.On a serious note, male shifters nowadays are getting too much. They are too possessive and obsessed in an unhealthy way. Our link is like a gun to our heads; one wrong move and they'll pull the trigger. Mates were not designed to be like ticking time bombs...but it seems like that.Speaking of the devil, my gaze was pulled to the approaching figure. Mazz's eyes were filled with rage while staring at me, his hands were tied, and two warriors held him on each side, taking him to the prison cell.He has no reason to be upset with me. I acted morally correct. Despite the fact that they are mates, he shouldn't have hurt Natasha. In addition to that, crossing the border brusquely is li

"Five died," Gregg noted.Nicholas blew a puff of smoke while looking at the dead. Mazz's sudden intrusion earlier caught them off guard. A bit complacent as he had already spoken with that man trading off words.It's been a week since that talk, yet the fucker broke down his promise and betrayed him. Seriously, he doesn't want to intervene in their dispute, but Natasha implores him to treat Aria nicely in return. So, he interferes...for Aria."Cremate them all," Nicholas ordered.He was not unfamiliar with this circumstance. Numerous rogues attempted to attack the pack, but none were successful. However, as can be expected, death is inevitable. A hundred warriors perished at one point, but fortunately, the enemy did not win and was defeated. Therefore, he was unsurprised by what had occurred today. Such attacks are typical in the realm."I'm heading back to the packhouse," he said as he walked away.Aria was no longer in the packhouse when Nicholas arrived; she probably proceeded to

Aria's POVA week had passed since the rogue episode, and strange as it may appear, Nicholas' behavior towards me had changed. He's like a flower luring me to give in and let my walls shatter once more. In a nutshell, he transformed into something very unexpected.But this pattern on him felt familiar: like a sense of deja vu. Nicholas is like a season; he's cold in the summer and hot when it's winter. He was sweet at the beginning of our relationship, but it faded. Now he does it again, being soft. But I refuse to believe it. He deceived me not just once or twice but more, so I don't know if I should still trust him."Hi."I adjusted my weight and focused on the door where Natasha was standing. She had a little smile on her face as she looked at me. I couldn't help but squint to be sure I wasn't hallucinating. Natasha, in addition to Nicholas, perplexes me. Her previously caustic and witchy attitude had shifted to the opposite extreme; she was now far too good to be true. The rogue a

Aria's POVTwo years laterMy gaze fell on the skyscraper in Antohollan. Every time I come here to make deliveries, the place never fails to amaze me. The cityscape is bustling with people and vendors, but it's not as crazy as it was in our domain. Years of juggling and trying to conform to this new environment were challenging. To fit in, I had to bury my identity, which is why Kaia remains hidden from the rest of them; not even the people I had to get to know here know who and what I actually am.It's been two years since I landed in the human realm—two years after that unfortunate incident—but no matter how hard I tried to erase those awful memories, two years couldn't heal the scars in my heart. Now and again, it bleeds. It was terminal."Don't you really want to work here in the city?" Mrs. Mercedez asked.She is a powerful figure in Antohollan, owning restaurant franchises around Europe. Living in this metropolis is enticing, but I couldn't afford to give up the peace I have in
