Semua Bab Alpha King's Lost Luna: Bab 211 - Bab 220

KALEB I stood in front of the window in my study and stared out at the wall that surrounded the castle. The afternoon sky was cloudy, but the brightness of the snow on the surrounding mountains illuminated everything. I’d missed the sight of snow during my stay in Anemond, but now that I was back in Yurene, I found myself missing the greenness of Wegalla. Behind me, Roxy and Anubis were seated in white leather chairs, waiting patiently for me to speak. Anubis had just come back from his investigative journey with disheartening news- there was no connection between the necklace and the Felix family. Even if there had been, there was no proof, since all of them were now gone. Since the Felixes were a warrior clan, the family didn’t usually purchase ornaments or accessories. Such a delicate piece of jewelry didn’t seem like it would belong to such a family. It was terrible news, but it wasn’t what concerned me the most. I had other things on my mind that circled within me like a storm.

KALEB“So, you’re saying that she had been the wife of the king of Wegalla and the wife of Emmett Keller?” Raven uttered with a look of shock on her face after Anubis briefly told her the story. “And then she just went back to the king after Emmett died, only she had assumed a new identity? That sounds… unrealistic.”I rolled my eyes but then forced myself to conduct myself with more decorum. Raven hadn’t met Emmett Keller in person. When Emmett was alive and visiting Yurene, Raven and Roxy had been too young. But the twins, along with everyone else in Yurene, knew all about the great sorcerer who was capable of impressive magic and then disappeared like a ghost.Before I could offer a comment, Raven spoke again.“Do you believe that Cassandra is the key to Emmett’s great sorcery?” she wondered, and when I offered the smallest of nods, she nodded too. “That’s possibly true, but there’s also a chance that Emmett just ruined all of his inventions before his death and hadn’t kept any tra

CASSANDRAWhen Ms. Benn arrived at our room to tell me that the king of Yurene wished to see me tonight, it felt like my heart had been seized by a sudden panic. It had been days since I’d been visited by Kaleb, and I wasn’t sure what he wanted to say after all of this time of silence.Ms. Benn had brought another dress, along with a pair of shoes, and a few pieces of beautiful jewelry. As I accepted the garment bags and the jewelry boxes from the head servant, I forced down the lump in my throat.“Is there another party?” I asked and she shook her head.“No,” she replied curtly, her steely blue eyes impossible to read. “The king wishes to meet you in private. You will be escorted to his chambers in a couple of hours.”“Oh,” I remarked, and I nodded my head politely. “Did the king say anything else?”Ms. Benn, like usual, gave me a cold glare and then shook her head. “Be ready in a couple of hours, Miss Cassandra.”Without another word, she turned on her heels and left. As she disappe

ASHERAs Silas reported on what his father had been doing in Anemond, I pursed my lips in irritation but listened without making any sort of comment.In my absence, Oliver Moses had taken the Beta’s guards into the royal palace and imprisoned the Head of the King’s Guard. The councilors who had been loyal to me, their Alpha King, had either been imprisoned or killed. Everything had been done in the name of his so-called “justice” to expose the “imposters who caused the king’s disappearance”.And of course, my father-in-law was recruiting soldiers, using the excuse that he needed an elite army to fight for the Alpha King when I returned to Anemond. He was doing all in his power to make it seem as if someone else had taken me hostage to dispel blame from himself and his family.When Silas finished his report, silence hung in the room, and for a long moment, neither of us spoke. I wasn’t sure how to word what I needed to say, and my brain felt frazzled by this influx of information. I wa

CASSANDRAI froze in place, but my hand began to tremble as I stared at the amulet in shock. My mother’s moonstone necklace shone like a beacon and the sight of it made my stomach twist into complicated and painful knots.I didn’t dare speak a word.Kaleb’s dark blue eyes glinted with satisfaction and his full lips curled into a cruel but contented smile. It was as if he were wearing his devil’s mask once more, and a shiver traveled down my spine when I met his gaze.How had he found the necklace?And how had he figured out my true identity?“I knew that you must have been from one of the prestigious families, but I didn’t expect you to be from such an important one,” he remarked after a while.”How interesting it was to figure it all out. You’ve been such a mystery to me, Cassandra, and I’m so pleased to know that such a strange story is finally being solved.”He plucked my mother’s necklace and held it up. The pendant swung and for a moment, I felt as if I were hypnotized. Even just
