All Chapters of THE FORGOTTEN LUNA: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

KAEL.They weren’t joking when they said the cave was enchanted. I had no idea how many shadows I felt surrounding us, but most of the time, we couldn’t see anything. Being the last to enter was surely an advantage. I had no idea how many hours we’d been trekking through this cave using the map they had given us, but no threats came.But we did see in the aftermath. Orcs’ heads were cut off, and a huge viper snake was struck in the throat before it was butchered. Its eyes were still open, but it was already dead. We also saw burned ashes of decaying creatures but we couldn’t identify what they were, and I ordered Landon not to touch them for precaution. When I thought they had taken down all the creatures inside, we encountered a water nymph by the lagoon.We had no plans of killing her. I thought her challenge was for us to pass the lagoon by ignoring her song. I thought there’d be no physical struggle—otherwise, she’d be dead in the hands of the others. I underestimated her. She

KAEL. “There’s one more team, you can still be saved. Good luck, Alpha!” Those were his last words before he ran away. And then he was gone. He was also not injured. He played with us all along. “One more team will still come…” Landon said. “But we won’t trick them. Right, Alpha?”I turned around and looked at him. He was still holding the lever, and despite the smile on his face, his eyes watered. Only four teams entered the cave, with two teams out and then us, there should still be one—unless they were the dead ones. “Landon…” I wanted to tell him the other team might be dead. They might be the blood we saw. “It’s not them, right?” He knew. He was not stupid, but he wanted to keep his hope up. “They just got lost, so they’re not yet here.” He chuckled, but his tears fell, and my jaw tightened. We were doomed. “I will step back inside,” I told him and put my foot to cross over, but I ended up being blocked by an invisible barrier. My eyes widened as I pushed a hand in front o

KAEL.Landon and I rushed out of the cave and trekked through the remainder of the forest that would lead us back to the arena. The moon was on the verge of setting, and if the first ray of sunlight reached the arena without us, I would be eliminated.So we kept running, following the direction on the map.We still had a long way to go when we spotted something on the ground. It was still far, and the area was still dark, but I could see it flinching. I reminded Landon to be careful as we approached it.“Beta Andres!” Landon yelled, and we immediately ran toward him.Color had already drained from the face of the Beta, and his face was turning purple. Poison. “What happened?” I asked as we crouched in front of him. I had totally forgotten that this man tricked and abandoned us. His eyes were pooling with tears as he clutched my shirt. “The viper that bit me…”He didn’t need to finish his words. We already understood what happened. I thought that the viper story was not real. “Did

ADESSA.“A life for a life. Come with us, and we will spare him…” Lesandra said calmly, like she wasn’t threatening a life. The tornado slowed down, and I saw Kael waking up from losing consciousness, or he probably just closed his eyes while he was being spun. Vines wrapped around his body until they curled around his neck. My body shook as I dropped onto my knees, and more tears trickled down my face. They knew Kael was my weakness and that I would give up everything for him, even my own heart.“Why, Selene?” I screamed in between my loud cries. “What have I done to you? Why me?”Memories of my childhood until I met Kael, until Draco haunted me, and the nightmare of the Royal Games came flashing in my head. All my life, I lived with the uncertainties of tomorrow. Despite everything fate had thrown my way, I always prayed for better days and never lost my humanity, but I still got nothing.Maybe because I was not bound to be happy—only to serve. “Let him go…” I cried, my voice a

ADESSA.My tears fell as I slowly watched our outstretched hands meeting each other until the tips of our fingers finally touched. And then I felt it—sparks. And an explosion of all of my senses.“Mate…” I softly muttered, but it was drowned out by Kael’s voice.“Mine!” He growled before his hand gripped mine and pulled me toward him.The Guardian holding me wasn’t expecting it, so he couldn’t do anything when I got out of his grasp. I felt my body spiraling down, but my mate’s strong arms wrapped around me and caught my fall.My mate. Kael is really my mate! My arms and legs immediately snaked around his neck and hips, not caring if the cape could still cover me. All I knew was that I was back in his arms and that the sparks were exploding everywhere in my body, caressing my soul. Our bond, including the mate’s scent, activated the moment we touched. I reveled in the pleasure of scenting him, nuzzling my nose against the crook of his neck. Kael smelled of newly cut cedar wood and
