最終更新日:
2025-05-28 07:30:55DAMON'S POV
Four long years had slipped by like a relentless tide, each one washing away any hope I had of peace with my father. Now, I sat in the sterile, overly bright office, my eyes fixed on him yet somehow seeing nothing. His voice, harsh and insistent, rolled over me like an unwelcome storm. Once again, he was lecturing me, his endless monologue about responsibility, legacy, and the burden of leadership grinding into my nerves like a rusty gear.I could barely stand it. The way he still tried to control every inch of my life, as if I were some child incapable of making my own choices, was infuriating beyond words. My irritation simmered beneath a calm surface, but inside, every word from his mouth was like a jab.Just then, my secretary slipped into the room, her heels tapping softly against the polished floor, a quiet contrast to the mounting tension filling the space. Without a word, she placed a freshly brewed cup of coffee on my desk. The warm, i

TO DENY A LUNA CHAPTER 158: THE LETTER
VELARA'S POVI am not sure how late it is when Damon finally slips into the room, but I sense the mattress dip before I feel him curl against my back. His warmth is comforting, yet when I wake later, he is already gone, and the sheets on his side are icy to the touch. My chest tightens as I wonder what time he left and why he slipped away so quietly. My eyes fall on Valarie’s letter resting on the bedside table, already opened. Carefully, I pick it up, slide it back into its envelope, and tuck it inside the top drawer where it will be safe from damage.I rush through dressing for work, pulling clothes on in a frenzy. Dante has already taken Selene to school for Elysia, sparing us one task. Elysia herself is darting around the room, wobbling on one foot as she forces her shoe on, both of us already late. Alaric handled Kael’s drop-off earlier and even sent me a photo of the two
TO DENY A LUNA CHAPTER 157: FATE UNVIELED
VELARA'S POVI looked at him with a firmness that came from deep within. “She was always watching you. You just never realized it. She kept her eyes on you your whole life. Do not let her memory be tarnished by watching you fall apart,” I whispered, pushing the letter into his hands.He hesitated, his fingers brushing over the envelope before he finally glanced down at the name written on the front. “What’s this?” he asked, his voice hoarse.“A letter from Lilith,” I explained softly. “It came in the mail a couple of weeks after her funeral, along with a few others.” I studied his expression as he slowly turned the letter over between his fingers, as if unsure whether he had the strength to open it. My chest tightened, and I shook my head before grabbing my bag from the counter. I started toward the door, ready to leave him with his thoughts.
TO DENY A LUNA CHAPTER 156: FRACTURES
VELARA'S POVAlaric groaned, his voice breaking as he whispered, “I am so sorry, son.” Turning my head, I glanced at him. His face was so swollen and bruised that he was barely recognizable. He coughed harshly before slipping his fingers into his mouth and pulling out a tooth. Damon’s response came in the form of a low, dangerous growl while I rushed to help Alaric rise to his feet. Behind me, the sickening sound of cracking bones echoed as Damon shifted back into his human form.Keeping my arm around Alaric, who staggered with unsteady legs, I helped guide him toward his car. Reaching into his pocket, I pulled out his keys and unlocked the door for him. He sank heavily into the seat with a hiss of pain. “I will be fine, dear. Go check on my son,” he muttered through clenched teeth. Nodding, I turned and saw Damon already walking toward his own car.“Damon?” I called softly. He stopped and looked back at me. The expression on his face froze me in my tracks.“You knew,” he accused, his
TO DENY A LUNA CHAPTER 155: THE GATHERING
VELARA'S POVThe evening was finally winding down, and with it came a fragile sense of calm. The earlier chaos had dissolved into hushed conversations and the quiet scrape of chairs as people began to leave. The air smelled faintly of extinguished candles and spilled wine, reminders of the long night that had stretched on far too long. My body ached from the hours of standing, every step a reminder of how heavy the day had been, and my feet throbbed in protest against the polished floor. Despite the confrontation with my father that had threatened to unravel everything, the night had taken an unexpected turn for the better. Faces I had feared to meet had greeted me with warmth, and Damon had taken the stage with confidence, offering an official statement to the media before the guests finally drifted away. With that weight lifted, all I longed for now was the comfort of bed, the cocoon of sleep promising an escape from the strain that still lingered in my chest.Out of the corner of m
TO DENY A LUNA CHAPTER 154: CONFRONTATION
VELARA'S POVA sharp chorus of gasps sweeps across the table, the sound rippling outward like a stone tossed into still water, catching the attention of nearly every guest in the grand hall. Conversations falter, silverware is stilled midair, and all eyes shift toward us. My father’s mouth opens, yet words fail him. His face tightens, color rising in his cheeks as fury twists his expression.Then Astrid breaks the tension with a fit of laughter so unrestrained it bounces off the polished walls, bright and jarring against the heavy silence. Her laughter is wild, uncontainable, and completely inappropriate for the moment, yet impossible to ignore. The mayor’s wife turns her head sharply, her brows knitting together in disapproval as though Astrid has utterly lost her senses.I struggle not to laugh myself, my lips twitching despite the weight of the moment, because Astrid’s laugh has always been the kind that infects those around her. It is absurd, high-pitched, and so ridiculous that e
TO DENY A LUNA CHAPTER 153: A FAMILIAR FACE
VELARA'S POVThe soft hum of chatter and the clinking of glassware greeted me as I stepped into the restaurant. In my hands was a neat stack of name cards, which I quickly passed to one of the waitresses. With practiced efficiency, she darted away, weaving gracefully between tables, setting each card in its rightful place according to the carefully planned seating chart.The faint sound of approaching footsteps drew my attention. Damon emerged from the kitchen, the dim light glinting off the black suit that fit him like it had been tailored to his very skin. A garment bag was slung casually over his broad shoulder, but it was his smile that caught me. Effortless, commanding, it made him appear all the more magnetic, and as always, dangerously handsome.Across the room, Kael was already dressed for the occasion. His laughter echoed warmly as he knelt beside Selene, entertaining her and a handful of other children who had arrived early, their giggles spilling through the air like little
