Semua Bab Two Mates of the Rejected Luna: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Eve’s POVI stirred from a light doze to the feeling of a gentle kiss on my forehead. Ryan stood over me, a soft smile playing on his lips. I greeted him lazily, surprised that I had dozed off while waiting for him."Oh, you're home," I mumbled, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "I didn't know I fell asleep. I was waiting for you.""I missed you," Ryan confessed, his words carrying a warmth that resonated within me. I chuckled, trying to shake off the last remnants of sleep."How long have you been gone?" I asked, getting up from the couch to join him."Just a few hours," he replied, pulling me into a comforting hug. His lips pressed against my hair, and for a moment, everything felt right. However, beneath the surface, I sensed a lingering tension, a silent acknowledgment of the conflict we hadn't quite resolved.We sat in companionable silence, a delicate atmosphere hanging between us, filled with unspoken words. I know it's important to Ryan that we get our bond back, and I know that

Raven’s POVThe encounter with the mysterious woman had set my instincts ablaze. The familiar yet elusive scent of a fellow werewolf lingered in the air, compelling me to follow her.As she briskly moved down the narrow streets, I maintained a discreet distance. A reluctance to enter the store she approached didn't escape me. Instead, I forged ahead, ensuring there was no ambiguity in my pursuit. She turned into a dark alley, and my pace quickened. I couldn't afford to lose sight of her.There was an uncanny familiarity about her, a tug at the edges of my memory. How could another werewolf that I know be here in Venice? Rounding the corner, I found only the fading traces of her shadow disappearing down another street.The speed at which she moved was no longer human. Confirmation settled in – she was undoubtedly a werewolf. I made every effort to maintain my distance, but she skillfully eluded my grasp. Eventually, she came to a stop at the end of a dead-end street.My steps quietened

Raven’s POVThe living room of the Crescent Moon Packhouse offered a temporary refuge, though tensions hung in the air like a heavy fog. My patience was waning, and clarity remained elusive as Cari and Jackson presented their case."My sister heard of a grouping related to werewolves known to use wolfbane," says Jackson. "Now she's trying to investigate them by pretending to buy from them.""I don't believe this. It looks too comfortable for you," I snap."We have evidence," says Jackson, irritated by my disbelief."Bring them to me so I can see them," I challenge him.They start to get up, and I stop Cari."Only he will go. You two don't need to go."They look at each other but do not protest. Jackson walks out of the room, and I stare at Cari, who is pouting."You blew my cover," she tells me. "I cannot appear before them again now.""We'll see," I say sharply.Jackson returns with a huge folder full of photos and maps. They spread a collection of documents across the table, photogr

Eve’s POV"Why are you so defensive about him, Eve?" Raven pressed on, his frustration palpable. "He's not good for you. Can't you see that?"I stood my ground, my loyalty to Ryan battling against the doubts that Raven was planting. "You don't get to decide what's good for me, Raven. I appreciate your concern, but I know Ryan better than anyone."Raven's eyes darkened, frustration etching lines on his face. "Eve, it's not just concern. I care about you, more than you realize. You deserve someone who doesn't keep you in the dark, who values your safety enough to be honest with you."His words resonated in the charged air, and I felt the weight of his emotions pressing against my convictions. The room seemed to shrink, amplifying the intensity of our conflicting sentiments."But Ryan—""Ryan is clouding your judgment, Eve!" Raven interrupted, his tone edged with desperation. "I'm not saying he's a bad person, but there are things he's not telling you. Things that matter."I shook my hea

Ryan's POVI simmered with internal rage as I made my way to the Crescent Moon Packhouse. She was in our hotel room with Raven. Out of all the people in the damn world, why him?The mere thought of them together, sitting in proximity, drove me mad. My wolf was roaring in my mind the moment I caught sight of him. Every fiber of my being screamed for me to tear him to pieces right there.I cherished this woman; she was everything I'd ever wanted. I knew I was being unreasonable, but an overwhelming urge to mark her then and there clawed at me. The bond had been relentless these past few days, aching to make her unequivocally mine.To prevent myself from doing something reckless, I ordered her to travel in another car. Having her beside me would be an invitation to lose control. I needed air, time for the heat surging through my body to subside."Mark her!" shouted my wolf."Stop meddling; you know the situation is delicate," I tried to reason with him.He persisted, ignoring my explanat
