Chapter 36: The Light That Forgot Me

last update Huling Na-update: 2025-07-18 04:08:27

This chapter broke my heart, when the seeds of doubt is planted, it quickly grows into suspicions and heartbreak. Learn to confront your partner immediately you sense something wrong, and learn to listen to your partner no matter not little or irrelevant it is.

Lunessa's POV

I sat in my room, drawing in deep, measured breaths, trying to slow the chaos in my chest.

“It’s all a lie. It’s all in my head.” I repeated it like a mantra, over and over again, until the words began to lose shape.

When he finally came to my chambers, we sat for lunch. The silence between us wasn’t our usual kind, the one filled with comfort and unspoken ease. This one was different. Stiff. Like two strangers trying to remember a language they once spoke fluently.

“I’m sorry I spent two months away,” Azrik said, his voice careful.

“It’s okay. You’re back now,” I replied, eyes fixed on my plate. The food was warm, beautifully prepared, yet it tasted like paper in my mouth.

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 39: Where Her Eyes Should Be

    Azrik’s POVFighting Royal Alpha Nick was far more brutal than I’d imagined. The bastard had laid traps at every corner and commanded a legion of allies who fought like men possessed. But in the end, I cornered him, stripped him of his arrogance and cleaved the life from his eyes.With his death, the alliance unraveled. His armies scattered like frightened crows, and the war that had dragged on far too long finally crumbled into silence.I should’ve felt victorious, and I did, until the hunger to see her overtook every other feeling. After two months away, my bones ached for Lunessa. The scent of her, the sound of her laughter, the warmth of her hand in mine. I abandoned protocol the moment I stepped through the palace gates and headed straight to her chambers.She was standing by the window, halfway dressed, her hair spilling down her back like liquid. I must’ve startled her, she turned abruptly, eyes wide with disbelief.“Azrik?” she whispered, breath catching in her throat.“Lune

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 38: The Exile I Didn't Deserve

    Lunessa's POV She walked past me like I didn’t exist, calm and collected.She moved to Azrik’s wine rack and poured herself a drink, completely unbothered, as though this was her home.I swallowed hard, my throat like glass. Arassac was the reverse of Cassara.“Cassara?” I croaked, my voice trembling with disbelief.She rolled her eyes and let out an exaggerated sigh. “Ugh. Finally.”Her voice held no shame, or guilt. Just the irritation of someone tired of pretending.“I… I don’t understand,” I whispered, holding back my tears.‘Let me out!’ Due roared inside me, her fury shaking the walls of my mind. ‘Let me out, I’ll shred her into pieces!’‘That won’t solve anything, Due,’ I replied, barely holding her back.‘But it’ll give me the satisfaction,” she growled.I took a shaky breath, forcing myself to stand tall. “If you're really Cassara why did you pretend to be my friend? What was the game?”She didn’t answer right away. She simply sipped her wine, and turned to face me, lounging

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 37: The Betrayal I Walked Into

    Lunessa's POV Before I could spiral further, I made a decision, I would confront him. But each time I tried, each time I pushed even gently, he would deflect.It was like he’d built a wall between us made of silence, and every time I tried to chip at it, he smiled and said nothing.With the full moon approaching, he busied himself with preparations. I watched from a distance as he poured his energy into the celebration, into appearances, into everything except me.He sent gifts, boxes of velvets, rare perfumes, handwritten letters laced with romantic words, but they felt cold. Like he was going through the motions of loving me without feeling it.I used to think I craved his presence. That if only he were here, the ache would ease, but even when he stood beside me, my senses felt dulled, as if the very bond that once electrified my soul had slipped into sleep.How long could I keep pretending?One quiet afternoon, I went to his palace office. He looked up from some documents, smiling

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 35: When the Bond Goes Silent

    Lunessa's POV I spent most of my time alone, either buried in books within the library or curled up in my chambers. The palace staff kept their distance, avoiding my gaze, their smiles brittle, their footsteps fading the moment I entered a room. I couldn’t explain it, but the distance cut deeper than I cared to admit.Yes, I had been moody. Yes, I was angry often. But did that make it right? Did that justify how they looked at me like I was the unstable one?The isolation made me question everything, my instincts, my memories, even my sense of right and wrong. Sometimes I’d stare into a mirror, wondering if the woman reflected back was slipping into madness.Still, I clung to what little light I had. Due was always there, whispering words of comfort.‘Don’t worry, Lunessa. You’re not insane,’ Due would say, her voice calm. ‘This is all completely normal.’But was it? My body began to betray me too. I was falling ill more frequently, headaches, dizziness, nausea that came and went wi

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 34: Kicking Against The Lie

    Lunessa’s POVI went to bed that night, but sleep never came. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling as shadows danced across it, my mind spiraling deeper into silence.Azrik loves me, he said it, he held me like I was the only thing in the world that mattered. He made me feel seen, safe and cherished.Was it all because I carried his child? Was I never the love, only the vessel?By the early hours of morning, a sharp jolt brought me out of my thoughts. It was the baby kicking, but this wasn’t the soft flutter I had come to expect. These were strikes, like war drums sounding from inside me. My breath hitched as I lifted my nightgown and placed a hand over my stomach.The skin moved beneath my touch violently. I blinked, and saw something that made my heart stop. Two small footprints, then three.I stared, frozen. How could that be? I couldn’t think straight through the pain. By sunrise, I’d already sent for the palace doctor.“Can we scan to see what’s going on?” I asked, trying to
