The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Noah made sure that his arm was firmly around Lucy as they walked through the doors of the restaurant together. She had tried to wriggle away and offer her hand instead, but the look he had given her told her under no uncertain terms that this was a bad idea.She sighed internally and followed his lead as they greeted his parents, before being directed to one of the private rooms and taking their allocated seats around the dining table.Thankfully, Lucy’s parents hadn’t yet arrived and she breathed a silent sigh of relief. It wasn’t any less awkward though in her mind, having now seen vividly in the future her father in law turn against her so quickly.“Lucy, darling, it’s such a pleasure to see you again. Each time I see you, you look more radiant than the last!” His mother Elora smiled warmly.“Thank you Luna.” Lucy said politely, bobbing her head in acknowledgement as Elora frowned slightly and a flicker of concern crossed her eyes.“Is everything okay? You haven’t called me Luna f

“Let me at least take you home.” Noah pleaded as Lucy shook her head sadly.“No. I don’t think that’s a good idea. I just want to be alone right now.” She replied firmly, the sadness in his eyes tormenting her as it pulled at her heart. Could she save their relationship if she stayed with him? It was so difficult to know for sure, but she really wasn’t willing to take the risk, and giving him any sense of false hope just felt wrong to her. If he wasn’t going to accept the rejection, then there was nothing that she could do to break the link, until he accepted it.“Lucy..please…” He murmured hoarsely, his voice cracking slightly as she forced herself to ignore the hurt in his eyes.“No. I’ll make my own way home. It’s for the best.” She said firmly as she turned and walked away, incredibly grateful for the jacket's protection against the cool summer air that was such a stark contrast to the day's heat.‘We could always run home you know?’ Maia suggested eagerly.‘We could…’ Lucy chuc

Lucy waited for what seemed like forever in the bushes until finally, Caspian had left the clearing.She was fairly sure that no one else was around but she waited a few moments longer just to be sure before she crept out of the bush and made her way back to her dorm room.The whole thing baffled her though. How had she not realized that Cassandra had been holding people to ransom and manipulating people behind everyone’s back? “I’d always considered myself a good judge of character, Maia…how could I have been so wrong?’‘None of this is our fault Lucy. If we had known, or even suspected that she was like this back then I know for a fact that we would have stepped in or at least confronted her about it.’ Maia soothed, ‘All this proves is that Cassandra is a master manipulator, a professional narcissist.” Lucy hummed in agreement as she crossed the courtyard on the final stretch to her room, but as she came closer to the building's entrance, she saw that Theo was waiting there.She p

They had sat through two episodes of the series already and the more time that had passed, the more relaxed Lucy became. The episodes had been interspersed with their chatter and Lucy realized that honestly, she hadn’t felt this relaxed in a long time. Despite everything that had been going on just recently, these past few hours with Theo had miraculously taken her mind off things. Not once had she thought about Noah’s actions or Cassandra’s betrayal, and quite honestly, she felt a little bit guilty for snapping at him earlier.“Still wanna watch more? Or do you want to call it a night?” Theo asked as Lucy stifled a yawn. “Yeah I’m good for another,” She grinned up at him as he shook his head teasingly. “Stubborn as ever I see,” He chuckled as he flicked the remote and the opening credits for the next episode began to play. “Would you want me any other way?” She smirked back as she leaned over and grabbed a light blanket from the arm of the sofa, “I am, however, going to wrap mysel

Cassandra had been creeping back across the courtyard to her dorm room when the sight of two shadowy figures chatting at the front caused her to freeze and take cover. The conversation with Caspian had not gone as smoothly as she would have liked and the fact that he still wanted to resist her made the risk of him talking and exposing her quite high.If he did talk, then she needed to make sure that her alibi was tighter than the hold an Alpha had over his pack. She had already rigged her laptop up with an auto clicker and basic program to make it look as though she was studying and surfing the internet if anything ever happened, but she had to make sure that she wasn’t seen in public tonight too.She darted a little deeper into the bushes that lined the edge of the building and crept a little closer to where the pair stood, hoping that she would overhear some of the conversation. Lucy was never out late at night, and if she was, it was never without Noah.A sly grin played at the edg
