Alpha King's Lost Luna의 모든 챕터: 챕터 201 - 챕터 210

CASSANDRAWe sat there in silence, and as I held Finnick tightly in my lap, Erika and I gazed at each other sadly. It seemed as if no one knew what to say. My mind was in a million different places and I wasn’t sure what thought to act on.I was so grateful to have Finnick and Erika with me, but I was sad that we were all in this position. Guilt flooded through me as I ran my fingers through Finnick’s soft dark hair and I fought the urge to cry.Erika released a soft sigh and wilted a little.“Is this it?” she wondered quietly. “We are leaving our homeland for an unknown country?”I nodded. “I’m afraid so. I’m so sorry that I got you involved in my mess again, Erika. This is all my fault.”But the maid shook her head and reached out to touch my arm. “Don’t be silly, honey. That’s not what I meant. I’m more worried about you. As far as I’m concerned, I’m bored with Anemond anyway. If we have to leave, let’s make the best of it.”I knew she was just trying to cheer me up, and I apprecia

CASSANDRAAs the car drove past the borders of Wegalla and into those of Yurene, it was very late into the night. Finnick was fast asleep on my lap, and I ran my hands through his soft, dark brown hair. It was a ritual of ours, one that put the child at ease almost immediately. He’d been so nervous as the ride had continued, so I’d pulled him close and tried to get him to relax.Beside me, Erika had her elbow propped up against the window, and her eyes were closed. I didn’t know if she was asleep or simply resting, as we hadn’t spoken since we’d first gotten into the car, but I couldn’t blame her if she weren’t asleep. How could we dream so easily when we were leaving the place of our birth, not knowing if we would ever return?The car kept driving in the deep, dense forest before we reached the other side of the trees and came up on a town. The light was sparse and dim, but I could make out a sign that read “Gliolis” in the distance.What a strange name, I thought as the car drove do

CASSANDRAPoison.My heart nearly skipped a beat upon hearing it, and panic rose up from my chest. I felt my lower lip tremble, but before I could get too upset, I studied the woman’s expression. Though this was a dire situation, she didn’t seem too alarmed. In fact, she seemed rather confident.If she said she could handle it, I needed to at least halfway trust her.“Okay,” I said reluctantly, and then we headed back up to my room. As we ascended the stairs, I introduced myself. “My name is Cassandra Keller.”I wasn’t sure how much to tell about myself in case Kaleb didn’t want me to. I wasn’t sure if anyone knew about me here, but I didn’t want to put myself in hot water just in case.“My name is Raven,” the woman said, but she didn’t reveal her occupation. “And just for future reference, there aren’t many servants in the side building, so if you need to find one, you’ll need to go into the main building.”“Is that permitted?” I wondered, my tone expressing my uncertainty.“Of cours

KALEBThe prison tower stood half a mile away from the castle. It wasn’t an easy walk, but the crisp, familiar air of Yurene felt good after being away for so long. I inhaled deeply as the breeze caught my hair. While normally, that kind of thing would have annoyed me, I didn’t mind it too much today. It was good to be home and good to be far away from Anemond and its feigned niceties. For a place full of so much ugliness, there were so many ordinances and pretending of manners and politeness. It disgusted me.While the North was more brutal, it felt much more honest. I’d missed that greatly.Anubis followed alongside me, though I wished he hadn’t. His mere presence was an annoyance, and after his snide remarks, I wanted him to go away. But at the end of the day, he was my right-hand man for a reason. I needed him to keep things going around here.Our walk thankfully continued on in silence, and we soon passed the training ground. It was an open space where young werewolves were train

CASSANDRARonald Adams was Kaleb’s cousin. He was two years younger than the king of Yurene and was the son of Kaleb’s father’s brother. When Ronald’s father passed away, Kaleb’s father adopted the boy and raised him alongside his son, making the two like brothers.Raven told me all of this information in a hushed tone as the two spoke in the distance. It seemed no one in the banquet hall dared to interrupt their talk. People around them maintained a certain distance and ensured they had the space and privacy for their conversation.I studied them from across the room. I wished I could read lips so I could gather useful information, but I couldn’t. The only thing I could surmise was that Kaleb disliked Ronald. His body language, which was usually relaxed and arrogant, was cold and off-put. His dark blue eyes had turned icy, and his expression was bored.Still, the king didn’t protest when Ronald hugged him. He accepted the embrace, though he appeared nonchalant about it all.The North
