Chapter Nine — The Marriage Contract

Orlena’s POV

I stared at the marriage contract for so long that the words on the page began to blur, not because I could no longer read them, but because my mind had become crowded with everything Drayven had said and everything he had deliberately refused to say.

Mira was not the first.

She was not the last.

And I would not be the last.

Those words had followed me out of his study and into my room, lingering in the back of my mind even after I had closed th

  • The Cursed Luna’s Second Chance    Twenty Six

    Chapter Twenty-SixThe AnnouncementOrlena’s POVAfter Gima left my room, I remained where I was for a while, staring at the closed door and thinking about everything she had told me. Her words had unsettled me, especially the part about Lyra threatening to punish me, but I did not want to allow fear to take control of my thoughts. I had already spent too much of my life allowing other people's decisions and actions to determine how I felt about myself, and I refused to begin doing the same thing again simply because I had entered another difficult situation.I was still thinking when I heard voices outside.At first, they were distant, mixed with the sounds of footsteps moving through the compound, but after a moment, I recognized Drayven's voice.I immediately became attentive.There was something about the way everyone became quiet whenever he spoke that made it obvious he was about to make an announcement. I moved closer to the door but did not step outside. I wanted to hear what

  • The Cursed Luna’s Second Chance    Twenty Five

    Chapter Twenty-FiveWhat Gima HeardOrlena’s POVI had barely finished settling into my room when I heard a quiet knock against the door.For a moment, I assumed it was one of the maids coming to check on me again, perhaps to bring water or ask whether I needed anything after everything that had happened earlier, but when I opened the door and saw Gima standing there, I immediately noticed that something was different about her.She was not carrying anything, and she did not have the relaxed expression she usually wore whenever she came to speak with me. Instead, she stood with her hands clasped tightly in front of her, her eyes moving briefly down the corridor before returning to me.“Gima?” I asked, stepping aside. “Come in.”She entered carefully, and after I closed the door behind her, she remained near it as though she were still deciding whether she had made the right choice by coming.“What happened?” I asked.She looked at me for a moment before lowering her voice.“Luna, I ne

  • The Cursed Luna’s Second Chance    Twenty Four

    Chapter Twenty-FourWhat Lyra HeardLyra’s POVThe moment I stepped into the servants’ quarters, I could tell something had happened.The maids were gathered together in a small circle, speaking in low voices, their faces filled with the kind of excitement that usually came whenever something unusual happened inside the Alpha’s compound. I had barely taken a few steps toward them when one of the maids turned around and noticed me.“Lyra,” she called softly.I stopped.“What are you all talking about?”The maid exchanged a quick look with the others before answering.“It is about Luna.”My expression changed immediately.“Luna?”“Yes.”Another maid sighed and shook her head. “You should have seen what happened earlier. She was outside watching everyone working when she suddenly became weak and fell down.”I remained silent, listening.“She just collapsed?” I asked.“Yes,” the first maid answered. “One moment she was standing there, and the next thing we knew, she was on the ground.

    Chapter Twenty-Three — Three WeeksOrlena’s POVThe door opened again a few moments after Lyra left, and the nurse finally entered with a small medical bag in her hand. She closed the door quietly behind her before looking toward me, then toward Drayven, who was still sitting beside me.Her expression became serious when she noticed how weak I looked.“Luna, how are you feeling now?”I shifted slightly against the pillows, trying to find a comfortable position.“I still feel uncomfortable, and I am weak. The dizziness has reduced a little, but I still feel like something is not right.”The nurse nodded as she came closer.“That is why I don't want to give you anything yet. I need to examine you properly before deciding what treatment you need.”Drayven immediately looked at her.“Do whatever tests are necessary.”The nurse placed her bag beside the bed and began preparing what she needed.I watched her quietly, although a small feeling of nervousness had begun to settle inside me.
