Luna - A Flicker of Hope in the Shadows. Imagine a world where every sunrise feels like another sentence in a life sentence. This is Luna's reality. She's a girl shrouded in shadows, haunted by a home life that's a twisted cocktail of neglect and abuse. Her mother, a prisoner of alcoholism and bitterness, casts a long, dark shadow, a constant reminder of the father lost to the cold, unforgiving bars of a jail cell. Home is a battlefield where Luna is a lone soldier, desperately seeking refuge from the daily onslaught. School isn't much better. The corridors are a gauntlet, echoing with the cruel laughter and whispered taunts of bullies who seem to instinctively know where to twist the knife. Luna retreats into herself, a quiet observer in a world that seems determined to crush her spirit. She carries a secret, too, a hidden truth that she fears could shatter her fragile existence. Deep within her heart lies a tender, burgeoning love for Alycia, the seemingly untouchable queen bee of the school. Alycia, with her radiant smile and effortless popularity, is a star in Luna's perpetually darkened sky. A star Luna believes is light-years away. To escape the suffocating atmosphere of her home, Luna finds solace in long, aimless walks, wandering the streets like a ghost, searching for a place to belong. She lingers at her friend's house, stretching out stolen moments of peace and normalcy, desperately postponing the inevitable return to the battleground. She is a master of avoidance, a shadow flitting at the edges of a life she doesn't quite know how to claim. Will Luna find the strength to break free from the cycle of abuse and create a life of her own? Can she find the courage to embrace her sexuality and reveal her feelings for Alycia? And will she ever truly escape the shadows that haunt her past?

I went near her and bent to her level, I gently caressed her cheek and growled "Mine". I tucked her hair behind her ear and then saw a huge bruise on her left side of face, a growl erupted from my throat by thinking that someone hurt my mate made me crazy.

| MMRM | My Mate, Remember Me
***Please read my message on November 12, 2019 (if you can) for enlightenment purposes*** "Who are you?" A certain Luna asked. "Tell me, why do I feel like this?" The Alpha in front of her just stayed frozen. "Why do you make me feel so....pained?" The Luna questioned as her hands slightly trembled. "You have suffered because of me. I deserve to be punished but please," He said as he tried to approach her. The Luna watched him in disbelief as the man embraced her tightly in his arms. "Please let me hold you in my arms, even if its just for awhile, even if its just for today. Please..." He begged as tears fell down from his face. 'If I tell her that she's my mate, then I will lose the right to remain by her side.' The Alpha firmly said inside his mind. 'Please, just let me stay while I can, because once she remembers me - I will have to leave.' ※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎-※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎ This book is a work of fiction. The cliche: "Alpha rejects his mate and regrets it once he sees her." WARNING: Over-used plot and plot holes. I just had to write it. *laughs* #MMRM ©Itwasonlyadream801 [Aleana Dela Cruz]Complete
