LUNA: Alpha’s Soulmate from Another World

The next evening, Luna had finished dinner and was preparing for bed. Her eyes lingered on the window protected by magical wards for a moment. Yet, she could still see the clear night sky with the full moon beautifully adorning the dark expanse. Its bright light captivated Luna. A smile formed on her lips as she remembered Judith’s last words about the full moon. “You know, miss, legend has it that the reason why the full moon is the werewolves’ weakness?”

“Why? I’m really curious.”

Judith, who had just expertly finished tidying the bed, straightened up and turned to look at Luna. A gentle smile graced the woman’s face. “Because during the full moon, it is said that the Moon Goddess sets foot on earth to meet her children, but during that time, the werewolves ended up hurting her.”

“Hurting Selene? How could they? Didn’t they realize she was the Moon Goddess?” Luna asked, puzzled.

“The Moon Goddess came in the form of a beautiful woman, which mesmerized the werewolves, and they conspired to claim her. By the time they realized their mistake, it was too late. The Moon Goddess cursed the werewolves during the full moon.”

“Oh wow… I never would have guessed. When I think about it, there are so many things I don’t know about werewolves themselves.”

Judith smiled softly. “Don’t rush, miss. You have plenty of time to get to know werewolves.” Luna nodded but then frowned in confusion. She looked at Judith, who showed no suspicion or curiosity about her limited knowledge of this world. Judith didn’t even ask anything about her life, as if the woman trusted her enough anymore.

“Thank you, Judith,” Luna murmured. Because of this woman, she didn’t feel alone or like an outsider.

Luna sighed profoundly and pulled back the blanket before climbing into bed. No one has shown any concern for her or asked about her feelings. If Judith were here, that might be the first thing she would do for her.

Luna lay down on the bed and closed her eyes, missing the woman she had come to regard as so necessary. She had never felt even a fraction of the affection Judith had given her. Whether it was just a job or genuinely given, Luna felt deeply grateful to Judith. A single tear slid down her cheek, followed by more, before she cried silently. At least, with the full moon tonight, Luna had time to sort out her feelings. She released the emotions she had been holding back since the public mating.

Luna cried for quite some time, and when exhaustion finally overwhelmed her, and her eyes started to swell from shedding tears, Luna decided to try to sleep. Unfortunately, she couldn’t, as her eyes refused to close despite her drowsiness. The dream world she longed for did not come, which irritated Luna. She opened her eyes, feeling frustrated, sad, then angry-she felt all sorts of negative emotions. Her feelings changed so quickly, like a sign she usually experienced when she was about to have her period.

She tossed and turned, trying to find a comfortable position, but couldn’t. Suddenly, she sat up, this time crying out of frustration. Why did she feel so uneasy? Why did she feel uncomfortable? Wait a minute! Come to think of it, since her arrival in this world, Luna hadn’t experienced menstruation even once. Her brow furrowed in worry.

From the start, her period schedule had been irregular, but she’d been in this world for quite some time now. Then her face paled. Could there be something wrong with her body? Luna looked down and touched her stomach. No… it can’t be… Amid her panic, Luna hurriedly got out of bed, causing her feet to tangle in the blanket, and she fell off the bed with a loud thud.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Luna quickly got up, ran to the dressing room, closed the door, and started pacing anxiously. A doctor? Should Luna call a doctor? No! She shouldn’t think the worst; maybe she had missed her period due to prolonged stress.

Do you remember? You had sex with Alkrevas, and that man always released his seed inside your body. Her mind reminded her flatly. Luna groaned and tugged at her hair in frustration. Then, she remembered the knotting that Alkrevas had done during one of their encounters. Luna groaned and kicked the nearest object, then slumped to the floor, exhausted.

Luna couldn’t think that way; she had to believe that her delay was due to stress. If only Judith were by her side, she could ask the woman or seek help, but she was all alone right now. Luna took a deep breath. Perhaps her erratic emotions were the result of everything that had happened in the past few days, compounded by her impending menstruation. Yes! That was the only explanation she could think of.

Luna took a deep breath to calm herself. She was grateful Alkrevas hadn’t come here, or Luna might have lost control and taken out her emotions on him.

She stood in the middle of the dressing room. Her body, which had just begun to relax, instantly tensed up again when she heard glass shattering inside her room. Alertness took over, and Luna moved cautiously toward the door. The sound of breaking glass was followed by a commotion as if someone was ransacking or destroying the room. If this were a movie she watched, Luna would probably have been screaming at herself to hide or run. Still, now she understood how the female characters felt in such tense situations-curiosity.

Curiosity kills the cat. She certainly felt afraid, but simultaneously, a deep curiosity overwhelmed her. It was as if something was urging her to open the door and peek to see what was happening in her room, and unfortunately, that’s precisely what she did. Carefully, Luna turned the doorknob and slowly opened the door.

If it was an assassin like Alkrevas had mentioned, Luna could only fight with whatever she had until the palace guards arrived, but if it was something else… Luna couldn’t guess what that might be.

She peeked around her bedroom from the crack in the door and held her breath when she saw a significant, dark, furry figure standing near her bed, sniffing her pillow. Luna immediately stepped back, trembling violently, shocked by her body’s traumatic reaction. She looked down at her hands before glancing back at the door she had left open in fear.

Luna looked to her left and right, searching for a place to hide, then realized that the wardrobe in her dressing room was large enough to accommodate her. Should she be afraid? What if that wardrobe was also a portal to another world? Luna shook her head to dismiss the random thought. She stood up and began to move cautiously. Still, misfortune seemed to be playing tricks on her because her hand accidentally knocked over an accessory she had worn earlier that day, causing it to fall to the floor with a loud clatter.

Luna immediately held her breath as she heard heavy, terrifying footsteps. Not long after, the door just a short distance in front of her burst open with enough force to come off its hinges. Luna held her breath as her brown eyes met dark red ones.
