All Chapters of Maria (The Rejected, Pregnant Luna): Chapter 21 - Chapter 27

Eight months later...Maria's POV"Oh my God... I can't stop eating." I sighed for what felt like the thousandth time as I pulled yet another plate toward me.The table in front of me was overflowing with sweets, pies, and fruit, yet I was still starving."I swear I'm hungry all the time." I popped a piece of dessert into my mouth and immediately reached for another.Izalina let out a mocking laugh as she looked at me. "At this rate, you'll turn into an elephant soon."Era's voice echoed inside my head before I could respond to Izalina. "Soon?" she scoffed before adding sarcastically, "Hasn't that already happened? We passed the elephant stage months ago. I think we've reached the mammoth stage."Izalina burst into laughter. She could hear Era's voice now, all thanks to my magical powers, which had grown incredibly strong.As for me, I slammed the plate onto the table.

Maria's POV"You are not going anywhere until I return. I don't want any trouble, especially you, Kairos. You are not to leave this place under any circumstances. Do not shift, and do not use any spells. Do you hear me?" I ordered them seriously, emphasizing every word.Alaik and Mira answered at the same time, "Okay, Mom. We'll wait for you."Kairos, however, remained silent... I raised an eyebrow and looked at him, waiting for an answer.He let out an annoyed sigh before replying coldly, "Fine... fine." As if his pride refused to submit even to my orders.Era spoke, "Are you really going to stand in front of him after all these years just like this? How do you think he'll react?""I don't care. My time has finally come. I'll make him regret everything... one thing after another." I growled as every memory came flooding back.Izelina tried to say something, but I ignored her.
