Semua Bab THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA: Bab 41 - Bab 49

AEGIS'S P.O.V “I’m not getting into that car with you.” I stand arms crossed, chin raised in defiance at the sight in front of me. We only have about thirty minutes before we have to leave for Elias's Pack and we're arguing. Again.The King leans against his velvet black Lamborghini Aventador with his arms folded over his chest, watching me with that insufferable smirk. “Then I hope you have a high stamina, little rose. It’s going to be a long walk to Elias’s pack.” I scowl. He’s enjoying this too much. I have my own car but apparently his royal asshat wants me in his. And while his car is probably the sexiest car in the world. It doesn't change the fact that I don't want to drive with him."Aegis. Please just get in the car, it's getting late.""Nuh uh. I don't see why this is such a big deal. I have my own car."Brianna hugs me from behind, whispering, “Just humor him and try not to kill each other.” I snort. “ I make no promises.” "Alpha Aegis, can I see you for a second," N

Aegis's Point Of View.He isn't supposed to be here.Blood soaked through the knife still buried in his chest. But it wasn’t the blood that scared me. It was the look in his eyes.“I want you. You will give yourself to me,” Elias growled. His voice wasn’t his own. It was deeper and broken. His wolf had taken over.I backed away slowly shortening my own breath to not agitate him. Locked in a room with an Alpha I could handle, but a wolf. An unhinged wolf. Nahh.“You’re not well,” I whispered. He crawled toward me, crazed and growling nonsense. His claws scraped the floor as he tried to grab my leg.I raised my foot and kicked him hard in the jaw.He slumped and his body finally stilled just beside my bed. His face turned toward me like he's in a twisted kind of sleep and I jumped back.The door burst open and Damian stormed in. His eyes swept through the room until it finally settled on me. I watched as he took it all in. The knife. The blood. Elias.“Are you hurt?” he asked in a clipped

AEGIS'S P.O.V"Beta Solice said your car is ready,"Elias told me avoiding my eyes like a boy who broke something expensive. “I’m really sorry, Aegis. I didn’t mean...”“I know.” I cut him off and walked away. I can't be here anymore.Sheila stood near the outside gate. She whispered to her friends, like she won a game I didn’t know we were playing. Her eyes met mine. She didn’t flinch. Just smiled wider.I ignored her and climbed into the car. Placing the phone between my shoulder speaking to Brianna and balancing my tablet on my thigh, I tapped through files."You don't sound good Alpha ," she said, voice tight. "Come back. Please."“I’m fine,” I lied. "Just need to get something from the archives."My fingers stopped moving.Something is wrong. The engine rattled. My stomach twisted.The driver met mine in the rearview mirror. There's a small smirk on his face. Shit.“Are you okay, miss?”“I think...” The steering wheel jerked violently. Tires screamed. The car spun. I screamed. Ev

AEGIS'S P.O.V"What in the name of the goddess is happening.”Early this morning, a palace maid knocked and stepped into the guest room. She clutched her apron and bowed quickly.And that was the start of an horrible day."The King requests that you join him for a morning walk, my Lady," she said politely. My eyebrows shot up. “Walk? What, now?” She nodded with a small smile. "I'll get your bath ready. The other maids are coming to help you dress."Before I could protest, she disappeared into the washroom, already running the bath. Two more maids entered with folded clothes and shining hairpins.I backed away. “Nope. No. I can bathe myself. And I’m not wearing that.”“The King instructed us to assist you,” one of them said gently. “He said you’re still healing.”"I’m fine,” I growled. “He knows I’m fine. I’m healed.”They kept working. One untied my robe. Another set the bath oils. One combed my hair. I swatted her hand.“I said I don’t need help.”“You do today,” one of them said wit

Aegis's P.O.VTalia has been talking for twenty-three minutes straight."And then I told him—if you're gonna wear cologne that strong, at least don’t smell like desperation! Right? Right?"I blinked, staring out the car window as trees blurred past. "Mmhmm." She gasped. "You’re not even listening!""I am," I said. Barely.Talia smacked my arm. “Don’t zone out on me, Aegis. This is our last shopping trip together before you become too important to breathe the same air as us common folk.”I chuckled softly. “I’m not that important.”"You’re the King’s Aid,” she said, stretching the words dramatically. “You basically get to yell at guards, look pretty, and solve political murders. It’s hot.” I laughed louder. “That’s not the job description.”“It should be.” She paused. “Do you want me to stop talking?”“No,” I said. I meant it. Her yapping helped me avoid my thoughts.Silence sat with us for a beat. Then she looked out the windshield and whispered, “I’m going to miss you.”My chest tigh
