Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Forsaken Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 171 - チャプター 180

RAVEN'S POVWarmth touched my face before I was fully awake.A soft, almost too-gentle caress across my cheek, then a thumb brushed along my temple, sweeping a strand of hair behind my ear as.A quiet whimper floated out of me when cool lips pressed against my forehead.I blinked my eyes open.Logan. His hauntingly beautiful face was illuminated by the moonlight pouring in through the half open window, not that I needed any light to see him clearly.He was kneeling beside my bed, still in travel leathers, smelling of cold air and the outdoors. And although he felt cold, his eyes and demeanour were warm.His gaze was fixed on me like he’d been watching for hours. Like he hadn’t dared look away.I shot upright so fast his brows fleetingly furrowed worriedly, and then I threw myself into his arms, sighing out his name.“Logan!” My voice broke into a half-sob, half-laugh. “You’re back, you’re really back…”Logan's strong arms came around me instantly, tight, so tight it almost hurt. He bu

AELLA'S POV The laughter in the tavern was a warm, chaotic mess of voices, clinking mugs, and the occasional cheer as someone downed a drink. And it was all in honor of a mate bond being sealed between one of us and her fated mate.I sat on a stool near the edge of the long wooden bar, leaning casually against it, my fingers tracing the rim of my mug as the aroma of spiced ale and roasting meat filled my senses.We'd been there for over an hour already, and although I'd normally enjoy a night out like this, I was stuck in a numb cycle of wanting to go back to the castle and wanting to snap at someone to relieve my growing irritation.My mood was sourer than an unripe cranberry.And I refused to chuck it up to the fact that Zade hadn't come out with us. I hadn't even seen him the whole day.“I don't care,” I murmured quietly, to myself, as I picked up the mug and took a generous gulp of my drink.I sighed, my eyes darting to Farrow who was animatedly recounting some minor skirmish fro

RAVEN'S POV The scent of crushed herbs and antiseptic filled the infirmary, a comforting mix that always grounded me. I'd missed it, stuck between so many things that seemed to be happening all at once, I had stopped coming as frequently as I used to, and only briefly darted in and out the days I did show up.But now I was back, and happy, and utterly in love.A smile tugged at my lips as my hands moved automatically, grinding dried roots into fine powder while I listened to the soft murmurs of injured pack members resting in cots. The rhythmic motion of my pestle against the mortar was comforting in the way a sudden cold rain shower after a hot day, is.“Say Raven,” one of the older nurses began, her voice sweet but pointed, “I’ve been meaning to tell you something.”I didn’t look up, letting her words wash over me like the steady hum of a lullaby. “Yes, Maela?” I said, keeping my tone neutral as I added some pieces of rosemary into the mortar and continued crushing everything into

RAVEN'S POVLogan had insisted on planning a proper picnic for the lunch he asked me to, and I could hear the gentle rustle of blankets and the soft clinking of cutlery as I approached the small clearing. I smiled brightly, taking in the sunlight as it fell across the meadow in golden streaks, and took a deep, lungful of air that smelled of wildflowers and freshly cut grass.My steps slowed as I took in the scene he had arranged, my heart soaring. It was simple, yet perfectly charming.I laughed aloud, and the sound made him look up from bringing out the food from the basket on top of the blanket he'd spread out.Logan beamed up at me, his eyes looking utterly mesmerised as they roamed over me, longingly.“Hi,” I blurted out giddily.His smile grew, “Hi, love. I was about to come get you myself, I worried you wouldn't be able to find me here.”I licked my lips, rocking on my heels as I took in the adorable arrangement again.“Well, I trusted my instincts and it led me to you.”Logan

AELLAZade didn’t move, he just stood there, giving me an infuriating grin that made my knees feel weak.I pointed at my closet, “go in there.”“No, I won't fit.”“Yes.you.will,” I gritted out matter-of-factly and amusement flashed in his twinkling eyes before his cheeks inflated with laughter.I tucked the look away for later, when I would savour it better.“She's not going to wait all day,” Zade said coyly, then shrugged. “You could tell her to come ba…”“Aella,” came Raven's worried voice. “Are you alright in there? I'm coming in at the count of twenty.”I groaned, fumbling for composure as she began a slow count.“You need to hide,” I hissed, pushing Zade gently toward the closet. “Force yourself into it if you must.”“But why?” he asked, mock offense in his voice. “Why? It's not like I'm hurting you in here.”I pressed a hand over his mouth, leaning close so my eyes met his, flashing daggers of frustration and desire at the same time. “Because… if Raven sees you she will figure
