Chapter 6

Author: Zoe bear
I straightened my spine, refusing to let the tears fall. My throat burned, my eyes stung, but I forced myself to stay dry-eyed.

Robert’s gaze lingered on me. For the briefest moment, something flickered there—guilt? Regret?—but it vanished as quickly as it came.

Then Sarah leaned against his shoulder, her voice sweet and fragile. “Robert, I don’t feel well… could you get me a blanket?”

And just like that, he stood and left her side with no hesitation.

I went cold. My chest felt hollow, my ears filled with a high, piercing ring. I could still see my mother in my mind, smiling gently as she wore that necklace, her hand stroking my hair.

When the auction ended, I blocked Sarah’s path. My voice was raw, almost shredded.

“Sell me the necklace. Any condition you want—I’ll agree.”

Her lips curved into a cruel little smile, her laugh like shards of glass.

“Any condition? What if I told you to kneel at my feet and beg?”

I froze.

In my mind, my mother’s voice rose, faint but steady: Barbara, you

  • The Alpha’s Bride Is Not the Luna   Chapter 14

    Robert stumbled forward, tears streaking down his face. His chest rose and fell in ragged gasps, his voice breaking as he pleaded, “Barbara, please… let me in. I’ve been searching for you for so long. Just one minute. One chance to explain.”I didn’t move. My hand clutched the door frame, but my heart was calm in a way it had never been with him before. His face—the one that once held all my hopes—no longer shook me.“Robert,” I said softly, almost gently, “you’re too late.”The words struck him like a physical blow. His body swayed, then collapsed, his knees slamming against the wooden steps with a hollow thud. He stayed there, hunched and trembling, his breath heavy and uneven, as if wrestling with the last shreds of his pride.“I was wrong,” he rasped, his voice hoarse, desperate. “I thought protecting you meant keeping you dependent, making you need me. But all I did was chain you, blind you to your own path.”I said nothing.His hands clenched into fists against the steps as he fo

    The words on the screen glared back at me.I’ll find you.Once, a message like that would have sent my heart racing, kept me awake all night replaying the fantasy of what our reunion might look like. But now? It was just… noise. Empty words on a glowing screen.I shut the laptop with a soft click, exhaling the tension I didn’t even realize I’d been holding. When I turned, Albert was by the window, his tall frame bathed in the dim evening light. A bouquet of red roses rested in his hands, his knuckles pale from holding them too tightly.For years, he had been my constant. Through the silence, through the heartbreak, through the moments I thought I couldn’t take another step forward. He had never demanded answers. Never pressed me to give more than I could. He simply stayed. His patience had been the quiet balm my broken heart hadn’t even known it was searching for.“Barbara.”The way he said my name—low, steady, with a conviction that shook something deep inside me—made my chest tighten

    Robert was unraveling. At first, he convinced himself Barbara had only gone abroad for a short course—that she’d be back before he even had time to miss her. But days turned into weeks, and there was nothing. No calls. No messages. Her social media had been wiped clean, like she had erased herself from the world.That silence—her complete disappearance—gnawed at him until his chest felt hollow. Panic wasn’t an emotion he was used to. But now? It was all he knew.He finally cornered James one night, his voice low and rough with a rage he could barely hold back.“Where is she?”James hesitated, his jaw tight, before finally saying the words Robert had been desperate—and terrified—to hear.“Barbara’s in France.”The world tilted. France. The word echoed in Robert’s mind, pounding like a drum. He repeated it under his breath, his lips barely moving. “France… France…” as if saying it enough times would make her closer, reachable.The next morning, he abandoned everything—his work, his meeti

  • The Alpha’s Bride Is Not the Luna   Chapter 11

    The first few nights in this strange city were the hardest. Lying awake in the silence, surrounded by unfamiliar walls and a language I barely understood, I felt the weight of loneliness pressing in. Every shadow reminded me of home. Every silence reminded me of Robert.I remembered how, back in the pack, whenever a foreign tourist needed help, Robert would step forward effortlessly. His English was smooth, flawless. I’d just be standing there, fumbling, until he’d glance at me and say gently, “You don’t need to worry. You can always rely on me.”At the time, those words warmed me. But now, replaying them in my mind, they only left a hollow ache. Maybe that was always the problem—Robert never saw me as his equal. To him, I was someone fragile, someone to shield… but never someone strong enough to stand beside him.Here, thousands of miles away, I found someone who showed me a different answer.James had told me Albert was the Alpha of the Blood Fang Pack. But he didn’t act like an unto

    “What did you just say, Robert?” Sarah’s voice cracked as it rang through the ballroom, sharp and desperate. “You… you don’t like me? That’s impossible! You—”Robert stood tall in the center of the stage, his face cold, carved from stone. “I’m sorry you misunderstood,” he said, each word deliberate, merciless. “Back then, too many people were chasing me. I just needed… a shield.”“A… shield?” The color drained from Sarah’s cheeks, leaving her pale as marble.Robert’s gaze didn’t waver. “I gave you an annual allowance. I thought you understood this was a transaction.” His tone cut like glass, even as the hall collectively held its breath. “After the accident—when you were hurt because of me—I gave you more leniency. But that was repayment of a debt. Nothing more.”The silence that followed was suffocating. Then the whispers started.“I knew it. How could Alpha Robert ever love her?”“She was fooling herself this whole time.”“All this… just for show.”Every word sliced into Sarah’s ches

    “Of course it’s Barbara.”The moment Robert said those words, the Beta slammed on the brakes so hard the car jolted.“I—I’m sorry, Alpha!” he stammered, his palms slick against the wheel.But Robert didn’t snap. Instead, his gaze cut to the Beta, calm and unyielding. “Does that answer shock you so much?”The Beta swallowed hard. Shocked wasn’t even the right word—it upended everything he thought he knew. But he couldn’t admit that outright, so he said quietly, “I always thought… you treated Sarah better.”Robert’s eyes darkened, and memories clawed at him before he could shove them away.A boyhood afternoon. Tires screeching. A car spinning out of control. Sarah shoving him away, taking the full hit instead. Her body broken, her health fragile ever since. The guilt had never left him. He owed her his life—that’s why he had never refused her anything.But guilt wasn’t love.“Robert, we’ve arrived,” the Beta murmured, snapping him back.The car rolled to a stop at the private airfield.-
