All Chapters of Alpha's Hidden Precious Luna: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Lily POVI stood at the entrance of the grand ballroom, the soft glow of chandeliers and the gentle hum of conversation creating an atmosphere that felt magical but instead left me feeling completely out of place. The annual gala was in full swing inside, with elegantly dressed couples dancing and mingling. Everyone seemed to have a partner except me and I had to leave the hall and stand at the entrance, wishing my partner for tonight would show upA few minutes turned into ten minutes, into twenty, thirty and now one hour. An entire hour, that’s how long I’ve been waiting for Jason.I’d taken so much time to look perfect for the gala. First, it was my first inter-pack social function and I wanted to leave a good impression for the future. I wouldn’t want anyone to remember me as shabby when I and Kai finally get to be together. But now, after waiting for one hour, I felt like all my efforts was wasted.I tugged nervously at the midnight blue silk that Emma had helped me choose. It

Lily POVI stood quietly on the terrace, the cool evening breeze playing with the hem of my dress as I watched Nathan speak with Cordelia. The woman was animated, her hands moving expressively as she spoke, her voice carrying just enough for me to catch fragments of what sounded like an explanation. Nathan's posture was attentive but somehow relieved, which struck me as odd for someone supposedly on a romantic evening.After what felt like several minutes but was probably less, Cordelia touched Nathan's arm briefly before turning and walking back into the hall. Nathan watched her go, then ran a hand through his dark hair before turning toward me with what looked suspiciously like relief washing over his features.As he approached, he intercepted a server who had just stepped onto the terrace with a silver tray of champagne flutes. Nathan took two glasses, nodding his thanks to the young man before continuing toward me with that confident stride that seemed so natural to him."Well,"

Lily POVI stood at the threshold of the grand hall, watching Kai's body pressed against the woman's, I felt a different kind of chill altogether. The bottle of water, Nathan had offered me after we walked away from the dance floor and I was grateful for him just standing beside me without saying a word.A new song started to play and I watched miserably as Kai moved with the woman. Both of them glided around the dancing floor like dancing experts. My chest constricted, as a familiar ache spread through my ribs. I should have expected this. Luna Helene had made it clear where we stood, hadn't she? And yet, seeing him like this – so intimate, so passionate with someone else – I was wondering if we’d stopped fighting to be together. "Well," Nathan murmured beside me, his voice low and surprisingly gentle, "Are you alright?”“I don’t know,” I said quietly still staring at Kai. I don’t know what to think, honestly. First, Kai doesn’t strike me as the kind of man who’d just abandon a wom

Lily POVTo his credit, Nathan didn't laugh or look at me like I'd lost my mind. Instead, he simply waited for me to continue, his dark eyes never leaving my face."Over a hundred years ago, there was a unified werewolf kingdom ruled by a single king," I continued, the words coming easier now that I'd begun. "My ancestor, my great-great-grandfather, was that king. But the kingdom fell apart due to betrayal from within, from his trusted advisors who wanted power for themselves. They orchestrated a civil war that tore the realm apart, dividing it into dozens of separate packs, each fighting for territory and dominance."Nathan's hand moved slightly closer to mine on the stone bench, offering silent support."Every member of the royal family was hunted down and killed," I went on, my voice growing stronger as I shared the burden I'd carried alone for so long. "My mother was the granddaughter of the last king, and she possessed abilities that marked her as a true heir – the power to commu

Celeste POVI stared at him in disbelief. "Pop Pop, my mother's instructions feel like punishment. 'Celeste, you're too fat. Celeste, don't eat that. Celeste, you should take better care of your skin. Celeste, why can't you be more like other daughters?'" I mimicked her tone perfectly. "I tried, Grandpa. I really tried to understand her, but Mom is impossible. She sees me as a failure while Kai is her perfect child.""And how does that make you feel?" Pop Pop asked, and I could hear Dr. Martha’s influence in the question."Like I'm never going to be enough," I admitted, "Like no matter what I do, how much I change, how hard I try, she'll always find something wrong with me.""And you think getting married to Alpha Percy's son would fix that?""No," I said immediately. "If anything, it would make it worse. She'd just find new ways to criticize how I'm handling being a Luna, how I'm raising my children, how I'm representing the family." The thought made my stomach churn. "I'm finally le
