บททั้งหมดของ Alpha's Hidden Precious Luna: บทที่ 221 - บทที่ 230

Celeste POVI froze in mortification as I slowly turned around to face Beta Liam, acutely aware of how I must look. My clothes were torn in several places from my emergency shift, dirt smudged across my skin, and my hair was a tangled mess from running through the forest. But it wasn't just my disheveled appearance that made my cheeks burn with embarrassment – it was the way Liam's dark eyes flickered up and down my body, taking in every detail.Nakedness had never been an issue for werewolves. We shifted so frequently that seeing each other without clothes was as natural as breathing. I'd seen hundreds of naked pack members over the years, and they'd seen me. It was just part of our nature, nothing to be shy about.But standing here in front of Liam, with my torn shirt barely covering what it should and my leggings sporting a rip that exposed far too much thigh, I felt more vulnerable than I ever had while completely nude. Maybe it was because this wasn't a casual shift situation –

Kai POVI couldn't stop pacing. The hardwood floor of the living room creaked with each step matching the frantic beating of my heart. Upstairs, in my room was a naked woman and I’d shared a bed with that naked woman. I could feel my wolf Hud, prancing inside me with anger. Despite trying to suppress him several times he’d always manage to come up like he had the mind of his own. Every time I closed my eyes, the image burned in my mind’s eyes. Isabella's auburn hair spread across my pillow, her naked form curled against mine when I'd woken up an hour ago.I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole.How had I let this happen? How had I allowed myself to sink so low that I'd woken up with another woman in my arms when the only person I wanted was Lily? The worst part was the complete blank where my memory should be. Everything after leaving the banquet was a hazy blur of alcohol and rage and the crushing weight of seeing Lily in another man's arms.I'd tried calling Liam four

Lily POVI stood frozen outside Nathan's office door, my hand raised to knock but unable to make my knuckles connect with the polished wood. My heart was hammering so loudly in my chest that I was certain anyone passing by in the hallway could hear it. The embarrassment was so overwhelming that I genuinely wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole, saving me from having to face what I'd done.This morning had been a blur of confusion and mortification. I'd woken up in my own bed at home, wearing clothes that definitely weren't mine – a soft cotton shirt that smelled like expensive cologne and masculine soap. Emma, my personal maid, had been hovering anxiously by my bedside, her face creased with worry."Miss Lily," she'd said gently when I finally stirred, "you're home safe. Beta Liam and Alpha Kai brought you back early this morning."I remembered how I couldn’t function in the first few minutes. Kai had been the one to bring me home? That meant he'd seen me in Nathan's c

Lily POVI walked out of Nathan's office in a daze, my mind spinning with everything that had just happened. My feet carried me across campus while my thoughts went in circles, replaying Nathan's words over and over again. The way he'd looked at me when he said he liked me. The way his hand had felt against my cheek. The way he'd almost kissed me.The sadness felt like a weight pressing down on my chest, making it hard to breathe. I wasn't sure what I was even sad about anymore. Was it Kai's rejection? Nathan's confession? The mess I'd made of everything? All of it seemed to blend together into one terrible knot of emotions that I couldn't untangle.By the time I reached my classroom, I felt completely drained. I slid into my usual seat and let my bag drop to the floor beside me, staring blankly at the empty whiteboard at the front of the room."Lily?"I looked up to see Jason standing beside my desk, holding a bouquet of pink roses and wearing an expression that looked somewhere bet

Lily POVI sat back down on the bench and pulled out my phone, staring at the dark screen. I had several missed calls from numbers I didn't recognize and a few text messages from classmates asking if I was okay. Nothing from Kai, of course. Why would there be? We cannot communicate with each other.Still, shouldn’t he still defile that rule made by his mother? Love was chivalrous, I should be getting treatment like that every day from him to remind me how very much I still mean to him but of course, his tongue was jammed in the throat of that pretty woman. He'd made his feelings perfectly clear.I smacked my head, cursing internally. I’d forgotten to ask Liam about Isabella the woman Kai had been kissing last night too. It was only fair for me to know at least. Now that it seems like I have a competition. The sun was starting to sink lower in the sky, painting everything in shades of gold and orange. It would have been beautiful if I'd been in any state to appreciate it. Instead, I j
