THE CURSED LUNA

Author pov. "After a year without engaging in sexual relations with you, Arian, perhaps it is time to conclude this and pursue a more conventional and respectful relationship."

"There is no need for pretense or excessive wisdom." Sheelah exclaimed, releasing the lace of her gown that had secured it on her shoulders. Her breasts fell towards Arian's face, serving as a reminder of their past intimate encounters. "Sheelah, let us cease this charade and concentrate on presenting a more positive image of our well-being; I have no intention of becoming intimate with you."

Arian was resolute in his decision to refrain from sexual relations with Sheelah, despite her persistent attempts to persuade him. He remained unaffected by her advances. She approached him and forcefully pressed her breasts against his mouth, but he disregarded her, causing her to stumble to the ground. Her expression turned to one of anger.

"What if Alpha Christian discovers that I am involved with his mate, his wife? What do you think the consequences will be?"Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"I am unconcerned, Arian."

Sheelah's eyes burned with anger as she rose to her feet. "You imbecile," she exclaimed. "Do you believe you can dismiss me without consequences? I will ensure that Alpha Christian is informed of your role in Amira's death." Arian maintained a composed demeanor, yet his gaze conveyed a stern warning. "Do not issue threats, Sheelah. I hold no fear of you or Alpha Christian. Moreover, I am unafraid of the truth, and I will clarify matters for him as well." "You would not have the audacity to treat me in such a manner; we are all facing the consequences together. She warned with a laugh, adjusting her dress with care."

Sheelah's laughter sent a shiver down Arian's spine, yet he stood his ground. "I am not intimidated by your threats, Sheelah. I am equally unafraid of the truth. You see, I possess knowledge that you lack-knowledge that will alter everything." For a brief moment, Sheelah's smile wavered, revealing a flicker of doubt in her gaze. However, her demeanor quickly shifted back to one of defiance as she scoffed at him. "You are merely bluffing," she retorted. "You are unaware of anything." Arian's smile was cold and calculated. "On the contrary, I am well-informed," he replied. "I am aware of the pact-the one you forged with Luna Viviana, which ensnared you both in a labyrinth of deception and treachery." Sheelah's eyes widened in shock, and for an instant, she appeared to forget to inhale. Then, she erupted into laughter once more, a high-pitched, anxious sound. "You are merely speculating," she insisted. "You do not know anything." Yet Arian could discern the fear lurking in her eyes, confirming that he had struck a chord. He stepped closer, lowering his voice to a whisper. "I know everything, Sheelah. And soon, Alpha Christian will be informed as well. Her fury resembled a tempest as she cried out in agony and hurled her hairbrush in his direction. Unable to evade the turmoil, he succumbed to his own wrath, seizing her neck and forcefully pressing her against the wall. Sheelah's eyes widened in shock as Arian's grip constricted around her throat, her fingers desperately clawing at his hands in a futile attempt to draw breath. "You will pay for this," she managed to utter, her voice barely rising above a whisper. Arian's face contorted in rage, his eyes burning with intensity. "You will come to regret defying me, Sheelah," he hissed, his tone low and threatening.

In an instant, Arian's fury seemed to evaporate, and he released his hold on Sheelah's neck, stepping back as if ashamed of his own actions. Sheelah collapsed against the wall, struggling for air, her gaze locked on Arian, filled with both fear and animosity.

"You are no different from the others," she rasped, her voice roughened from the pressure. "You possess the same capacity for violence and cruelty."

Arian's face reflected deep self-disgust as he turned away, his posture slumping in resignation. "I am trying to improve," he murmured. "But you are making it impossible."

Sheelah's laughter rang out, harsh and derisive. "You will never change," she retorted. "You are just like the rest of us. A monster."

"You are the most formidable creature I have ever encountered," he declared with a harsh tone.

As he tightened his fist, he forcefully pulled her hair and cast her onto the bed. "I despise your use of the term 'monster' to describe me."

Sheelah's eyes burned with fury as she fought to escape Arian's hold, yet he maintained his grip, his fingers entwined in her hair. "You are no better than I am," she retorted, her tone laced with venom. "You are equally cruel, equally devoid of compassion."

Arian's expression contorted into a snarl, his eyes aflame with rage. "I am striving to improve," he reiterated, his voice low and threatening. "However, you are pushing me to my breaking point, Sheelah. You are testing my endurance." Sheelah let out a harsh, derisive laugh. "You are already a monster," she declared. "You simply refuse to acknowledge it."

In a sudden fit of anger, Arian released his grip on her hair and struck his fist against the bed beside her, causing her to flinch. "I am not a monster," he growled, his voice barely restrained. "I am merely trying to navigate a world filled with them."

Sheelah's gaze remained fixed on his, a fierce light shining in her eyes. "You are deceiving no one, Arian," she stated. "Especially not yourself."

As the argument between Arian and Sheelah intensified, the door swung open abruptly, revealing Luna Viviana, who entered with her phone still in hand.

She was unable to suppress her laughter upon witnessing the chaotic scene-Arian and Sheelah, looking disheveled and furious, hurriedly attempted to regain their composure upon realizing they were no longer alone.

The atmosphere in the room was thick with tension as they awkwardly repositioned themselves, striving to conceal the compromising situation they had just been in. Luna Viviana's eyes glimmered with delight as she observed the unfolding drama, her laughter resonating throughout the space.

"Smile at the camera, love birds...."
