"You were never meant to be the one." Logan Roberts, the Alpha-in-training, said those words with such finality that they shattered my heart into a million pieces. For years, I watched him fall in love with my twin sister, Lina, while I remained in the background-silent, invisible, and forever second best. But when Lina disappeared without a trace, I was called back home to a shocking revelation. My parents had arranged for me to marry Logan. A man who, despite the promise of our bond, barely knew me. And who, even now, only carried a fragment of the love he once had for Lina. Logan's heart is cold, his eyes distant, but I can't stop trying to win him. He claims he doesn't need me, but I will prove that I am worth more than the past he can't let go of. Then Lina returns, stunning, full of secrets, and more dangerous than I ever imagined. She has a hold over Logan that I can't fight. But I'm beginning to suspect that the truth about her disappearance is far darker than anyone knew. And Logan... he's hiding something from me, something that could tear us all apart. Will I ever be able to claim his love, or will the shadows of the past consume us both? As I turn the corner to face him, my breath catches. Logan is standing there, his eyes not on me-but on her. And I'm too late.

The Luna He Didn't Choose Chapter 1 001

"It's unbelievable that you're back." Despite her attempts to hide it with a grin, my mother's voice was full of passion. I wasn't duped by it.

As I stood at the pack house door of the Crescent Moon Pack, the smell of damp dirt and pine trees swirled around me like a memory from long ago. The house seemed more spacious and well-kept than I had recalled as if it had been renovated while I was away.

"Yes, it has been a long time, hasn't it?" My heart was anything from light, but I forced a light tone as I spoke. I wasn't sure if I was prepared to return to the location that contained so many memories, both happy and sad, because I had been gone for much too long. I was still coming to terms with my father's passing, my mother's tangled past, and the odd feeling that my childhood house no longer felt like home.

Her smile faltered as she remarked, "Your father will be overjoyed to see you." "We've missed you."

A knot of uneasiness clenched in my stomach as I nodded. There was something strange, but I couldn't identify it. Not quite yet.

I followed my mother to the spacious dining room as she turned away. There was more life in the pack house than I could recall. The pack members looked at me and moved with a kind of intensity that I had never seen before. They were speaking to each other.

My mother went on, "Everyone has been talking about your return." "You'll see in due time. We have plans.

Suddenly wary, I swallowed hard. What did "plans" imply to her? I hadn't returned to get entangled in any kind of arrangement. I hadn't come back because I wanted to get caught up in whatever my parents had planned for me, but rather because my father's passing had called me home.

My father was seated at the head of the table when we walked into the dining room. His face was more weathered than I remembered, and his broad shoulders were slumped, yet when his eyes met mine, they softened. Something I couldn't quite make out seemed to have blunted the keen edge that had been in his eyes.

"You're late, Eli," my father remarked angrily as he got to his feet. However, I'm happy you're here.

"I apologize," I whispered. "It's The journey has been lengthy.

My mother went on to say, "You'll need to rest." "We can catch up after our large dinner tonight. We haven't all sat together in years.

I remained silent, feeling more alienated than ever before. It has been a while since I was a member of this pack. I was a girl on the verge of adulthood the last time I visited here, ready to break free from my parents' expectations. However, now... I didn't know my place.

My father and mother exchanged a quick glance that I was unable to decipher. Even though the room was warm, something changed in the air, and I suddenly felt cold.

My father said, "Eli, you look great." And you're stronger than I thought you would be. I'm assuming you've achieved success in life.

Unsure knowing how to react, I nodded slowly. Yes, I had performed well, but I wasn't sure how to tell them why. How could I explain to them the life I'd created away from here, the efforts I'd made to separate myself from this pack that used to feel so confining?

A voice pierced the silence just when it was growing long.

"Look who's back, well, well."

I went cold. A beat skipped in my chest. I knew who it was without having to look up. Logan Roberts. The man I loved before. The man who had silently abandoned me. The man who had never completely relinquished his position in my history.

Logan crossed his arms, leaned idly against the doorframe, and stared at me with an expression I couldn't decipher. He looked older and rougher, yet he was still Logan as I knew him. Time had changed him. It was the same haughtiness, the same charm that always managed to draw me in.

In a humorous tone, he remarked, "I didn't expect the grand return." "I assumed you would be out pursuing a big-city dream."

Though I was positive he saw, I made an effort to suppress the unexpected burst of warmth that washed over my cheeks. "I am present, am I not?"

As Logan pushed off the doorframe and moved toward the table, he said, "Yeah, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

His tone carried a certain quality, akin to a challenge or dare. I couldn't tell if he was making a joke or if there was more to what he was saying. I didn't want to think about it, though. Not right now. Not with so many other things on my mind.

My father muttered, "Sit, Eli," gesturing to the vacant seat beside Logan.

I paused. Things had been... different the previous time Logan and I sat at this table. We had an unresolved issue, an underlying tension, but that was years ago. A lot had changed. Both of us had evolved.

I was about to sit down when I saw Logan staring at me with an unfathomable expression. I couldn't determine whether to ignore the weird draw I still felt whenever he was close or to feel uneasy.

The tension between Logan and myself simmered beneath the surface while the lunch went by in a comparatively quiet manner. We all felt the pressure of my parents' expectations, but my father didn't clear his throat until dessert was delivered, grabbing everyone's attention.

He abruptly became serious as he stated, "There's something we need to discuss."

I looked at my mother, who appeared strangely quiet. There was a problem.

My father went on, his eyes hardening as he concentrated on me, "Eli, you've been gone long enough." And it's time we made a settlement now that you're back. Something significant.

My gut twisted with fear as I sat up taller. "What are you discussing?"

I could sense the weight of my father's words before he ever said them, and his eyes hardened.

"Logan Roberts will be your spouse."

I was sure I hadn't heard him correctly, so I blinked. "What?"

Logan's face didn't change, but I could see that his jaw was tense a little. He was anticipating my response. My mother's eyes moved uneasily between us while my heart raced in my chest.

My father went on to say, "You've been gone too long." "The future of the pack must be secured now. You two are going to get married.

It was unbelievable to me. My head was spinning. A union? With Logan? The man who was my first love but abandoned me, the man who left me broken and alone?

My mouth opened, but nothing came out. My folks were serious. This was no joke. My fate had already been determined by them.

Logan's voice broke the silence before I had a chance to respond. "Eli, we'll discuss it later. You don't know a lot of things.

When I looked into his eyes, I briefly caught a glimpse of something-an apology? A problem? I was unable to tell.

However, I felt certain that this was just the start.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
