Semua Bab Rising From the Ashes of Her Past ( A Lunas Tale): Bab 31 - Bab 40

From Alexandre’s POV I couldn't sit still knowing my mate was in the operating room. My heart clenched at the thought of losing her. I finally understood what my mother endured the two times my father almost died with my father. How could I be so stupid and leave her alone. I should have stayed at her side or better yet I should’ve had her stay in the room away at least she would have been safe. I felt so guilty for not being there to protect her and vowed never to make the same mistake again. “My king” I saw a man wearing a white lab coat approach. “I’m Doctor Stevenson,” he said, extending his hand to me. I shook his hand and asked, “How is she?" he replied softly, “She’s stable, we’ve managed to stop the bleeding and her vitals are stable. Her wolf had already started healing her. We’ve started her on antibiotics and we’ll keep her monitored closely over the next few days.” I nodded, thankful for his professionalism and reassuring presence. He smiled sympathetically. “She’ll b

From Alexandre’s POV "Thiago briefed me on what happened," he said, gesturing in Arina's direction. "How is she?" he asked with profound concern. "She's doing better," I answered, my voice heavy with worry. "Father, the things that have been occurring are unbelievable," I replied, shaking my head. In shame, I said, "I'm not sure I can handle this, I don't know what I'm dealing with, I need your guidance.". Though I was the son of the great Lycan King Leonidas, I was clueless. With a deep sigh, my father looked at me and said, "You must find the courage and strength within you to face this challenge. Remember, you are the son of a great king, and you are capable of great things." I knew he meant those words and they resonated well with me, but there was another problem I needed assistance with. I glanced back at Arina. "I never wanted a Mate," I said, turning back to my father. His expression was thoughtful, "After what happened with Mom, I just never wanted to put my mate

From Arina’a POV I was surprised by everything Alexandre's father said to us. To learn that I held that much power within me was the most profound thing I had ever heard. However, the part I disagreed with was having a mate to restore the Delvhen Wolf. It was empowering to understand that I held such strength within me, but the idea of needing a mate to revive the Delvhen Wolf was one I could not accept. I had warmed up to the idea of Alexandre as my mate. But with what Leonidas had just told us I now viewed the mate as a symbol of having to give up my independence and being dependent on another person to reach my goals. I found it difficult to accept that I needed someone else to complete myself. However, as I got to know Alexandre better, I realized that having a mate could actually help me. I didn't have to give up my independence to do so. Alexandre had shown me that he cared for me, and I never felt like he forced me into being his mate. He, in fact, told Rick and Eleni that

From Arina's POV No words came out of her mouth as she stared at me. Her blue eyes were just a blank canvas. I found it rather interesting that she no longer had anything to say as she boldly walked in here to address Goddess only who knew what. It wasn't until Penelope walked into the room that everyone relaxed and she decided to speak. Penelope had a way of calming people down. She had a gentle voice and a kind demeanor that put everyone at ease. As soon as she stepped into the room, the tension in the air dissipated "Jessica, what a pleasant surprise," she said as she stepped next to Leonidas placing a gentle hand on the center of his chest. He turned to her and smiled. The anger radiating from him disappeared. "Habibi," she said to Leonidas, "da, ladayna 'ashya' 'ukhraa taqliq bishaniha" my brows furrowed as I had no idea what she said. He nodded and turned to Alexandre, who was standing a few feet away from me. His eyes glazed over and I felt they mind-linked one another. I l

Alexandre's POV Walking down to the cells was the longest walk I'd ever taken. My Lycan was restless pacing back and forth. I was scared and uncertain of what would happen. I was ready to do whatever it took to save my pack and protect my family. I just hoped it wouldn't come to that. "Will you sit still? You are making me dizzy" I told D'Artagnan. "Not everyone can be so calm in a time like this" he retorted as he walked further into the dark recesses of my mind. Taking a deep breath, I felt Arina nuzzle her face against my side in the midst of the walk. Feeling her close to me calmed the devil below and I loved the feeling. What should have been a short walk took longer as I was willing to drag it out as long as possible. Spending time with her was all I could think of. But I knew I couldn't rush it, as much as I wanted to I knew she needed to find herself. I let her take her time to find her way. I wanted her to be independent and sure of herself. I'd be there for her whenever sh
