Melody's POV

The acrid tone of Jewel's voice sliced through the air before I even turned around."Do not think that Jones will let this slide," she snarled through gritted teeth.Her words slid through the thronged hall like a snake's venom. I froze mid-step, my back tensing. I slowly turned around and looked at her."Oh, I'm terrified," I said in a mocking tone, creating a shiver in my spine. "What are you going to do? Sell me? Or press me into low-paid work like one of your father's servants?Her eyes turned into thin slits. "You're just jealous of me!" She took a step forward, her heels clicking hard against the marble floor. "Tell me, is it because of Jay? Is it because I stole him from you?"For a moment, her words would have hurt. Once upon a time, it would have sent me raging with jealousy to hear some other woman associate herself with Jay. But now? All I felt was flame—anger, betrayal, and revulsion. Jay's name had become a trigger, not of desire, but of outrage.It was almost glor

  • Reborn of the Betrayed Luna   Chapter 158: Under the Same Moon

    Melody’s POVSix Years LaterSix years had passed—six long years filled with trials, sacrifices, and hard-won victories. Time had moved forward quietly, healing wounds that once felt impossible to mend, smoothing scars that had once burned with pain. And now, standing at the edge of that past, I found myself surrounded not by fear or ambition, but by something far more precious.Peace.The late afternoon sun bathed the palace garden in molten gold, its warmth settling gently over everything it touched, the ancient stone paths worn smooth by centuries of footsteps, the blooming white moonflowers releasing their soft fragrance into the air, and the clear, carefree laughter of children that rang like music across the grounds. The breeze stirred the leaves above us, carrying with it the scent of earth and flowers, as if the land itself was breathing in contentment.I sat beside my mate, my husband, Alpha King Don, on a carved wooden bench beneath the old acasia tree. Its massive trunk bore

  • Reborn of the Betrayed Luna   Chapter 157: Whispers Beneath the Crown

    Melody’s POVI should have known happiness would not go unnoticed.The morning after Don officially moved into my chambers—no matter how discreet the servants attempted to be—the palace felt different. The air buzzed with quiet curiosity, hushed whispers following me as I walked the marble halls. Heads bowed deeper than before. Eyes lingered longer than they should have.They had seen the mark.I felt it even before I heard it—the shift in how they looked at me. Not merely respect now, but awe… and something heavier.Expectation.“Good morning, Your Majesty,” the maids greeted in careful unison as I passed.I smiled politely, though my hand instinctively brushed my neck. I had chosen not to hide the mark. I was Luna Queen—recognized by the Moon, bound by ritual, and crowned by law. If I were to stand beside Don, I would do so openly. Proudly.Still, pride did little to loosen the knot tightening in my chest.The council meeting was called earlier than usual.That alone was enough to s

    Chapter 156: The Mark That Changed EverythingMelody’s POVThe next morning, I stood before the tall mirror by the window, sunlight spilling through the sheer curtains and kissing my bare shoulders. My fingers trembled slightly as they brushed against the faint soreness on my neck—a soreness I welcomed with a smile that refused to fade.There it was.The mating mark.Soft but unmistakable, nestled just beneath my jaw, its presence sent a warm thrill through my chest. It was real. Not a dream. Not something I imagined in the quiet moments when I allowed myself to hope for happiness. It was there, claiming me just as I had claimed him.Me. Don’s mate. His Luna.I tilted my head, admiring the way it looked against my skin. A symbol of belonging. Of love. Of a bond that transcended words, power, or duty. For so long, I had carried responsibilities heavier than my heart could bear, doubts that whispered I was never enough. Yet this mark told a different story—one of acceptance, devotion, a

  • Reborn of the Betrayed Luna   Chapter 155: Under the Moon That Witnessed Us

    POV MelodyIt was the day.It was a day counted down since the time I finally had admitted my feelings to Don, since that one moment when I dared believe the Alpha King would look at me not as an ally, not as a political partner, but as his mate.Today, I would be his.And he would belong to me.The soft buzzing of excitement in the room grabbed me back, grounding my racing heart with the circle of friends who gathered behind me. Filtered moonlight came through the tall windows, casting silver patterns on the floor, as if even the night was eager for this.“Here.”Maya stepped forward, that familiar mischievous grin playing on her lips as she handed me a delicately wrapped gift box.My breath caught.Maya wasn’t only my friend, but she was also my future sister-in-law, being Don’s sister.My fingers shook very slightly as I took the box. "Maya… you didn't have to."She rolled her eyes and folded her arms, affronted by the very idea. “Oh, I absolutely did.”I lifted the lid carefully.

  • Reborn of the Betrayed Luna   Chapter 154: Declared Luna

    Melody’s POVThe procession having begun, the hall fell into a reverent silence.Each in turn ascended to the raised platform where the Alpha King sat, now the seat of Don Carter. Footfalls on stone floors were the only sounds, heavy with tradition and loyalty; silent condemnation abounded.First came the former Alpha King, moving with slow dignity, age deepened in his features. He bowed low, pressing his lips to Don's hand resting on the armrest of the throne—a silent acknowledgment that power had truly changed hands.Beside him, the former Luna followed, her eyes shining as she did the same. Pride, grief, and acceptance battled silently in her expression.Then there was Maya, a sister of Don.With a trembling smile, she raised Don's hand in a show of clear devotion. Her husband followed with somber respect and then stepped aside.After that came my father.The moment I saw him, my chest tightened.He came stumbling towards Don, and then he dropped to one knee and kissed his hand—sti

  • Reborn of the Betrayed Luna   Chapter 153: Beneath the Crown of Blood

    Melody’s POVThe chandelier glowed overhead, immense and radiant, its thousands of crystal prisms catching the light and scattering it across the vast ceremonial hall like shattered stars. Golden reflections danced along marble pillars and polished floors, glimmering against silk gowns and tailored coats. Champagne flutes bubbled softly in eager hands, the delicate sound almost drowned by the hum of voices layered one over another.Laughter burst forth.This was no mere assembly of functionaries to pay their respects to a new ruler; this was a battlefield, covered in velvet and gold, with every look shifting the balance of alliances and loyalty hinging on the whisper of a promise.I breathed in slowly, willing my shoulders to release tension, schooling my face into poised grace. Every gesture here was a part of some game. Every cock of the head and every held blink or gaze pulled away too soon might be interpreted as fealty or defiance. My dress rustled softly as I shifted my stance, t
