Luna’s POV

The bag came off my head, and my eyes widened.

Damien?

He sat at the head of the long table, dark eyes locked on me, the faintest smirk pulling at his lips.

“Out,” he said to his guards without looking away from me.

They obeyed, the heavy door closing behind them.

For a brief moment, there was nothing but silence between us.

Damien leaned back in his chair. “Why are you here, Luna?”

“I—” I swallowed, my throat dry. “I saw an ad for a job… so I came to apply. But I got lost on my way from the restroom and… I ended up here.”

He chuckled, his voice low and mocking. “A job? Wait, you're here for the secretary position?”

He looked at me and said, “Tell me, what do you even know about being one?”

“Nothing,” I admitted, straightening my back. “But I—”

The laugh died on his face. His gaze sharpened, and in one smooth motion, he pulled a gun from his side and aimed it at my forehead.

“Give me one good reason,” he said softly, “why I shouldn’t kill you right now.”

What!?

    ‎‎Damien’s POV ‎ ‎I pushed the heavy doors of the throne room open with more force than I intended, the echo of their slam rolling across the high walls like thunder. ‎ ‎My boots hit the marble floor hard, each step sharp and deliberate. Behind me, I heard Elena’s hesitant tread and Luna’s lighter, quicker steps, trying to keep pace with my fury. ‎ ‎Gasps rippled through the chamber. Nobles and advisors turned wide eyes on us. Guards tightened their grips on their spears. No one dared move or speak. ‎ ‎The king, seated on his gilded throne, raised a brow. He looked more curious than angry. His voice, calm but edged with authority, cut through the silence. ‎ ‎“Leave us,” he said. ‎ ‎The room shifted with murmurs. But no one questioned him. Nobles bowed their heads, guards saluted, and within moments the chamber was empty, except for us. ‎ ‎The king leaned forward, his fingers tapping against the armrest of his throne. “Damien,” he said, his tone sharper now. “Explain you

    ‎Ray’s POV ‎‎I slumped back into the cold chair, my wrists aching from the iron cuffs that pinned me down. The room was dim, lit only by the faint glow of torches along the stone walls. My chest rose and fell heavily, but I refused to let myself collapse completely.‎‎“I told you,” Clint’s squeaky voice broke the silence—the mouse’s name. He perched on the edge of the table, twitching his nose nervously. “It’s useless. You’ve tried escaping a hundred times already.”‎‎I gritted my teeth. “And I’ll try a hundred more if I have to.” I leaned forward, the chains rattling against the stone floor. “I’m not giving up, Clint. Not now. Not ever.”‎‎Clint sighed, shaking his furry little head. “You’re too stubborn for your own good.”‎‎Before I could answer, the heavy doors swung open with a creak, and the queen glided in. Her gown shimmered under the flickering light, her crown tilted slightly as though she hadn’t even bothered to adjust it. Her lips curved into a cold smile the moment

  • Pregnant For The Ruthless Alpha But Secretly An Heiress    ‎Chapter 131: The Queen Is A Blood Witch

    ‎Elena’s POV‎‎The doors to my chamber flew open with a loud crack, bouncing off the stone walls. I jolted upright from the bed, my heart leaping in my chest. Damien stormed in, his brows drawn, jaw tight, his whole body radiating a storm I could practically feel in the air.‎‎He didn’t greet me. He didn’t even look at me. Instead, he started pacing, long strides across the rug, hands flexing restlessly at his sides.‎‎I tilted my head, studying him. “I take it the talk with the king didn’t go as planned?”‎‎That stopped him for a moment. His chest rose and fell sharply, then he raked a hand through his hair and let out a bitter laugh. “Didn’t go as planned?” His eyes flicked to me, full of frustration. “Try didn’t go at all. He told me flat out that he won’t help. That the blood witches aren’t his problem. That we’re on our own.”‎‎I swallowed, the weight of his words settling on me like rust. Still, I forced myself to stay steady for his sake. “I suspected the king might not be

    Damien’s POV ‎‎The heavy wooden doors groaned as I pushed them open, the scent of old parchment and candle wax rushing out to greet me. The room was quiet, only the faint crackle of a torch against the stone wall breaking the silence.‎‎The royal archives.‎‎At the far end of the hall, the king stood with his back to me, his broad shoulders square, his hands clasped behind him as though the weight of centuries of knowledge rested solely on him.‎‎“My king,” I said, my voice steady though my chest tightened. “I wish to speak with you if you'd permit.”‎‎He turned, a faint smile curling his lips. “Ah, Damien.” His tone was welcoming, almost too much so. “Come. Walk with me.”‎‎I joined him, and together we moved slowly through the rows of ancient tomes and relics. Dust clung to the spines of books that looked older than the kingdom itself.‎‎“This,” the king said, sweeping his hand with a flourish, “is the Royal Archives. Every record, every tale, every truth of this world is st

    ‎Luna’s POV ‎‎I had to tell her. I had to tell Elena what I’d seen in that dressing room. I opened my mouth, but before I could get the words out, the queen turned to us with a radiant smile.‎‎“I’ve found the perfect dress,” she announced, as though she had solved all the world’s problems.‎‎Elena blinked and leaned forward to look at her. “You look beautiful, my queen.”‎‎The queen beamed at the praise and patted Elena’s hand. Then Elena turned to me, her eyes narrowing.‎“Luna, what was it you wanted to say earlier? You looked like you were about to tell me something important.”‎‎I froze. The queen’s gaze landed on me, sharp despite her smile. My tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth. If I spoke now, the queen would know I had been listening.‎‎“I… I was just wondering about this,” I stammered, holding up the jeweled pin I had picked from the floor. “I wasn’t sure if it belonged to you, my queen.”‎‎The queen’s expression softened instantly. She reached out and touched the

  • Pregnant For The Ruthless Alpha But Secretly An Heiress    ‎Chapter 128: Wedding Dress

    ‎Luna’s POV ‎‎I woke up before the sun rose, lying still for a while and staring at the ceiling. My heart was restless, but for once, I didn’t try to silence it. Instead, I whispered to myself, “Today. I’ll tell him.”‎‎I sat up and brushed the sleep from my eyes. My hand reached for the folded handmaid dress at the edge of my bed. I stared at it for a moment, the plain fabric carrying so much weight in its seams. Then I smiled faintly.‎‎“If this is what it takes,” I murmured, slipping it on, “then I’ll wear it. But I’ll do things my own way now.”‎‎The dress fit snugly, as always, and was simple compared to the gowns I wore, but it gave me a strange kind of courage this morning.‎‎When I entered the kitchen, the familiar warmth of baked bread and sizzling eggs wrapped around me. Lila was already bustling about, her braid swinging as she worked. She looked up the moment I stepped in.‎‎“You look cheerful today,” she said with a grin.‎‎I laughed lightly. “Thanks for noticing.
