At last, Zara concluded her discussion with one of the maids, even though most of them were still scattered around the spacious room where they had all been called earlier. She still felt lonely.

She kept thinking about how Karina had left in such a hurry earlier. Almost like she was running from something. Even for Zara, it had been strange.

Zara rubbed her eyes, feeling the heavy pull of sleep, and let out a soft yawn. She just wanted to go to sleep and forget what had happened today. Then hunger emerged as a new feeling. She was reminded that she hadn't eaten anything since the morning by a deep gnawing emptiness in her stomach.

They should have had their evening meals ready by now, possibly even in their room waiting for them. In an obvious protest against its current state, her stomach rumbled loudly. Zara bid the other maid farewell with a gentle smile and a courteous nod. She turned and sauntered back to the room where she and Karina shared.

Her heavy footsteps were evidence

    With a low murmur that filled the silent study, Luna Ravena inquired, “ How many of our men are stationed to keep watch over the pack?”She was staring at the large, finely detailed map that was spread out on the mahogany table with a keen and unwavering gaze. Their defense relied heavily on the map, which showed their pack's vast lands, with distinct borders and strategically placed small hand-drawn symbols. The tension of recent threats and the weight of Ravena's responsibilities weighed heavily in the room. Ethan answered. “ Twenty men have been stationed to keep watch.” His tall frame was slightly hunched over the map as he stood across from her looking at the well-known lines and markings. His attentive stance and full attention to what she was saying, demonstrated the restored trust that had started to heal their strained relationship. Two other warriors stood silently next to them. Their hands clasped behind their backs, their faces etched with the gravity of their responsi

    Slowly Meredith gave a nod, acknowledging Lira's rage. She appeared to accept the harsh judgment that hovered between them as her head bowed slightly. She then pushed herself up from the floor with a faint barely audible sigh. She moved stiffly as though the weight of her actions and the oppressive atmosphere in the room were causing every muscle in her body to ache. Whatever insult or resentment Lira might direct at her, she deserved it. She sagged her shoulders a little as she turned away from Lira. She was staring at the door, a thick dark wooden slab that appeared to offer a way out of the oppressive tension. Every step she took in its direction was slow and nearly agonizing. It felt as though her feet were dragging through thick mud rather than a quick retreat. With her eyes still narrowed and a flurry of emotions building inside of her, Lira watched her. Meredith arrived at the door slowly reaching for the chilly brass doorknob. She encircled it with her fingers, feeling it

    Lira's eyes were brimming with tears as she yanked her door open and stormed into her room. She burst into tears.Her heart was shattered. No one believed her. She was branded a liar by her father. Her stepmother made it look like she caused it all.She sat on her bed. Feeling so dejected, she cried her eyes out.She replayed all that had happened in her head and felt like she was being kicked in her gut. Even the servant lied against her.Everyone seems to be against her. She remained in her room for hours in deep sadness.As she thought about what to do. What if she goes to her uncle? She decided against it. She doesn't want to disturb him with her issues.Lance has done enough. He has been looking after her since she was a child.Going to him now would be selfish of her. She wiped her tears and remained in her bed.After a while, she felt thirsty so she got up and opened the door.Walking out of her room, she closed the door behind her. When she got to the kitchen, everything had

    Meredith's eyes brimmed with tears. “ I don't know what to say.”Estelle glared at Meredith. “Really. Are you just going to stand there and say nothing?”Bethar was beginning to lose his patience. “Meredith, I am a very busy man.”Yet Meredith said nothing, just silence from her. A part of him wanted to end the whole issue. But a thought held him back. Bethar couldn't believe what was happening. Lira, his daughter, has been of the best behavior since she arrived.He believed his daughter could never hurt anyone. How could she be so mean? He had watched her closely this past few months. But his wife said she pushed her. He doesn't even know who to believe.He rose to his feet and then glanced at his daughter whose eyes were gleaming with tears. Since Meredith has decided not to speak to them. Maybe his daughter would."Lira, my beloved daughter. Tell me the truth," he said softly.Tears poured from her face. How can Estelle descend so low by lying against her? Now her father thinks

    The atmosphere became tense and the servant was gripped with fear. She could barely utter a word in defense. Instead, she trembled like a leaf caught in the wind.Lira could hear the thumping sound of her heart. She couldn't just stand there and watch Estelle rave in anger. She had to do something.Estelle's eyes were like two fiery coals. The servant's silence made her burst into rage. Her fingers were itching to strike the servant's cheek. Lira summoned courage and took a step forward. “ Mother, I am deeply sorry. Her eyes had a remorseful glint. “It's no fault of the servant. I pushed it aside but the kettle fell down."Estelle burned in intense fury and hostility as she glared at her stepdaughter. She drew closer. And pointed her index finger at her. "First, I am not your mother!" She snapped. Lira gasped. She felt it was right to call her mother. Why is she being so hostile towards her? Why can't she accept her apology? "I..I ...As Lira tried to speak further, Estelle cut her

  • THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn   Chapter 144; Lira And Estelle

    Lira woke up that morning to the soft light of dawn coming in through her window. The subtle aroma of the flowers in bloom outside permeated the crisp cool air. She got out of bed and went to the attached bathroom for her morning routine after some quiet reflection. A straightforward luxury, the warm water of the bath enveloped her, removing any remnants of sleep and leaving her feeling renewed and energized. She took her time and relished the peaceful seclusion of the early hours. As soon as she was dry, Lira grabbed the new dress her father had given her a few days earlier. The dress was exquisite, and it had a gentle flowing fabric in a calm shade of blue that brought to mind a bright summer sky. Without being overly elaborate the delicate embroidery around the neckline added a touch of elegance. The material felt soft and cozy against her skin as she put it on. She turned slightly to appreciate the way it draped as she smoothed out the invisible wrinkles. Her lips formed a ti
