Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back
Reconciling with the Past?
Thea’s POV
It had been about a week since I’d been discharged from the hospital and so far, everything was going smoothly. Still, I couldn’t shake this sliver of fear in my heart that everything would suddenly come crashing down.
Aurora had been right that day. Sebastian had always been hers. Sure, he was a person with his own mind, not a possession, but she’d once held his heart so tightly–something I could never fully understand. I used to ask myself what was so special about her. I wanted to know how she managed to capture the love and loyalty of an Alpha as powerful as Sebastian. It bothered me, even angered me. She got his gentle side while I faced the ugly, vicious part of him.
Now the tables had completely turned, and I could see the tenderness and love in his eyes when he looked at me. He gazed at me the way I’d always yearned for, but there was still this nagging feeling that things weren’t entirely right.
What I really wanted to know was: when did this change happen? Before I was shot or after? Was it the possibility of losing me that made him see what had been in front of him all along, or was it something else?
He did tell me he felt jealous when I started dating Kane. So maybe that was it. Males were jealous, possessive, combative creatures. When I started paying attention to another male, he probably didn’t like someone taking his place in my life, especially since I’d worshipped him since I was young.
“Thea, should I prepare Phoenix’s bath water?” Mary asked from the doorway of the living room.
“Yes, thank you.”
It was a beautiful day, the sun shining brightly. Perfect for my little princess’s bath time.
A few minutes later, Mary informed me everything was ready. I picked up Phoenix and walked to the bathroom, checking the water temperature before undressing Phoenix.
Leo was at school as usual, and Sebastian had gone to work. Don’t get me wrong, I loved spending time with Phoenix, but I was bored out of my fucking mind.
I wasn’t used to just sitting around doing nothing. Phoenix slept most of the time, only waking when she was hungry or needed a diaper change. She rarely fussed.
Besides taking care of a not–so–troublesome Phoenix, there was nothing else to fill my days.
I wanted to return to my job, but that obviously wasn’t possible right now.
I smiled when I realized she actually enjoyed bath time. She seemed particularly fascinated by the bubbles floating around her.
After washing her, I dried her off and placed her on the changing table. Kissing her little tummy and watching her smile with delight filled my heart with happiness. After a while, I dressed her and decided to take her outside.
We hadn’t been out long when Mary hurried over to me.
“Luna, someone’s here to see you.”
I sighed, slightly annoyed. “How many times do I have to tell you to call me Thea?”
“Sorry, I forget sometimes,” she smiled sheepishly.
I couldn’t be mad at her. She was too sweet and kind. She was so much better than our previous maid. That woman really hated me.

Reconciling with the Past?
For whatever reason, she just touldn’t stand the sight of me. I honestly believed the only reason Sebastian kept her around was because he knew it got under my skin whenever she disrespected me
“Who’s here?” I asked her, pulling myself from my memories.
“Mr. Sterling.”
There was only one Mr. Sterling it could be now. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I could handle him. Roman had broken my heart for years with his indifference and coldness. I couldn’t understand how he could treat me that way when I was his sister. But now I understood. I wasn’t really his sister at all. So maybe that’s why he never cared about hurting me.
“Alright, let him in,” I instructed against my better judgment, praying I wasn’t making a mistake. Mary nodded and left.
“Hi, Thea.”
I turned to face the man I’d spent years thinking was my brother. The only problem was, he never treated me like a sister. Not even when we were younger. Aurora was his beloved sister, and I was just the bitch who ruined his dear sister’s relationship.
“Hello, I replied simply, unsure what he was doing here.
“How are you?”
“Cut the big brother act, Roman. What do you want?”
This new, bold personality surprised me again. It was strange but exhilarating at the same time. I guess my past self got tired of being a doormat. From moments like this, I could tell I no longer backed down.
He looked hurt, but I couldn’t bring myself to care. After all, he never cared about me. Even when he knew how much he hurt me, he simply didn’t give a damn.
He hesitated for a moment but finally spoke.
“Please talk to Sebastian. You’re probably the only one he’ll listen to right now,” he pleaded, which made me curious.
“About what exactly?”
“Aurora was arrested by the police department the day you got hurt. know what she did was wrong, but it’s been two weeks. She’s not doing well.”
I was shocked. Honestly, I hadn’t given her much thought after the incident. I never imagined she might be in jail.
“What does Sebastian have to do with this?”
“He’s the one who pressed charges against her,” he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. “I know you and Aurora don’t get along, but please, Thea, she’s suffering in there. The other inmates are making her life a living hell.”
He was almost in tears. I guessed he’d tried many things, including talking to Sebastian. So far, nothing had worked.
“What about Mom? Aren’t she and Dad on good terms with the police department?” I asked him.
“She doesn’t want to get involved. She hopes this experience will teach Aurora a lesson. Make her see reality.”
Wow. That was completely unexpected. I would have thought she’d do everything in her power to get her beloved daughter out of
jail.
