2025-06-05 18:00:11|| Benson’s POV ||
It had been a full day since Lilac went missing. A full day of searching, of interrogating, of sleepless nights and endless worry. The ceremony for Ezra was in two days, and the invitations had already been sent. The kingdom was buzzing with anticipation, but my mind was far from the celebration. My daughter was gone, taken from under my nose, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t just a coincidence. The rogue Albert and I had captured hadn’t said much. He was either clueless or a ticking time bomb, trained for this mission and prepared to die without revealing anything. His life had no value—he was a pawn, a tool in someone else’s game. And that thought made my blood boil. I drove to the Reventhorn Castle, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. The castle loomed ahead, its grandeur a stark contrast to the storm raging inside me. I didn’t wait for formalities. I strode through the corridors, my footstep

His Abandoned Luna 190. Whisper in Dark
|| Lilac's POV || The room felt too quiet after everyone left. The weight of my confession still hung in the air, pressing against my ribs like a stone. I had told them everything— well most of it, Kael’s betrayal, the hollow absence of Runa—and yet, the relief I expected hadn’t come. Instead, a new kind of fear slithered in, whispering that even now, fate was slipping through my fingers. Alaric’s warmth lingered where his hand had been, his reluctance to leave etched in the way his fingers had tightened around mine before he pulled away. "You should rest up. We can talk later," he had said, his voice low, rough with exhaustion. "Yes, and I will sort out the mate issue. Madeline and Astrid are on it, too," Alexander added, ever the strategist, already calculating the next move. I should have felt better. They believed me. But the way my father stared at me—like he was seeing a ghost, not his daughter—left me raw. Alaric stood slowly, his muscles tense,
His Abandoned Luna 188. The Truth-I
|| Lilac's POV || Alaric carried me into my room, his arms steady despite the blood that stained both of us. My clothes were torn, my skin smeared with dirt and dried blood, and his hair was disheveled, his face etched with exhaustion and worry. But the closeness, his scent, everything helped me to calm my nerves. He set me down gently on my bed, his touch careful, as if I might break. I clung to him, my fingers digging into his shirt, my body trembling with the aftershocks of fear. “Let me get you clean,” my mom said softly, stepping forward with a damp cloth in her hands. But I shook my head, my grip on Alaric tightening. “No… please don’t leave,” I whispered, my voice trembling. The thought of him walking away, even for a moment, sent a fresh wave of panic through me. What if they came back? What if I was taken again? What if they try to... “I’m not leaving you,” Alaric said, his voice steady and firm. He sat on the edge of the bed, pulling me closer as I
His Abandoned Luna 189. The Truth-II
|| Lilac’s POV ||“What are you saying?” my mom asked, her voice shaking. “So you did… all of that because you had a vision?” Dad asked. “I know you might think I’m crazy, but I’m not lying. I swear to the Goddess,” I said, my voice trembling but firm. “This… I don’t know what to say,” Alexander said, his voice filled with disbelief. My dad was silent, his eyes locked on me, his expression a mix of shock and confusion, “most of the time she was right. Ezra would have been banished by now if she didn’t have acted on time.” “Yeah, and the Coco situation… could have been worse if you were engaged already,” mom said. “I trust you,” Alaric said suddenly, his voice low but filled with conviction. “I don’t know how or why, but I believe you.” Tears welled up in my eyes as I continued. “After the vision, Runa was gone. I mean, she was there, but I couldn’t shift or talk to her.” “And that’s why you didn’t fight back during the rogue attack,” my
His Abandoned Luna 187. Rescued
The night was thick with tension, the air heavy with the scent of rain and danger. Alaric moved through the shadows like a predator, his every step deliberate, his senses sharp and unrelenting. The faint trail of the rogue’s scent and the other scents that might came from his partners, faint but unmistakable, led him forward, his wolf, Hunter, growling low in his chest. Alexander followed close behind, his presence a steady, grounding force amidst the storm of Alaric’s emotions. The abandoned warehouse loomed ahead, its broken windows and crumbling walls a stark contrast to the surrounding cityscape. It was a place forgotten by time, a perfect hideout for those who thrived in darkness. Alaric’s jaw tightened as he approached, his eyes scanning the perimeter. The place was guarded, rogues patrolling the area with a casual arrogance that made his blood boil. Marcus and Garry arrived moments later, their presence a welcome reinforcement. They were followed by a group of warri
His Abandoned Luna 186. Dungeon
|| Lilac's POV || The darkness was suffocating. I lay still, my body aching, my mind a whirlwind of fear and desperation. I had to find a way out. Slowly, the sharp edges of pain began to dull, and my eyes adjusted to the dim light. The room—if you could even call it that—was cold and damp, the air thick with the scent of mildew and rust. It felt like an abandoned dungeon, the kind of place where screams would echo endlessly, unheard by the outside world. I couldn’t tell if I was still near the capital or if they’d taken me far away. The only thing I knew for certain was that I wasn’t alone. Two rogues stood guard, their presence a constant reminder of my helplessness. I stayed still, my breathing shallow, my body tense. Runa was still missing, which meant I was on my own. My hands and legs were free. Which was good. They’d probably underestimated me. Or maybe they thought their drugs were enough to keep me subdued. Either way, it was a mistake—one I intended to capit
His Abandoned Luna 185. Storm Approaches
|| Third-party POV || The Reventhorn Castle was cloaked in an air of tension, the kind that made even the walls seem to hold their breath. Darius had called for an urgent meeting, summoning Alpha Asher, Alpha Daren, and Alexander to his study. Benson was already there, his presence a storm of barely contained rage and desperation. The rogue they had captured sat bound and silent in the corner, his expression blank, his eyes devoid of any emotion. He was a ghost, a shadow, a tool used and discarded by someone far more dangerous. The room was heavy with the weight of unspoken fears and unanswered questions. Benson stood by the window, his arms crossed, his jaw clenched so tightly it looked like it might shatter. Darius sat at the head of the table, his expression grave, while Asher and Daren exchanged uneasy glances. Alexander leaned against the wall, his usual calm demeanor replaced by a sharp, focused intensity. “We need to find her,” Benson said, his voice low but fi
