Semua Bab A Luna's Return: Her Return Will Lift The Curse: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Kailey’s POV I barely had time to react before Ezekiel locked the office door and pulled me into a deep, urgent kiss. His hands gripped my waist, firm but desperate, as if he was afraid to let go. My fingers curled into his shirt, holding on just as tightly. My heart pounded, not just from the kiss but from everything left unsaid between us.When he finally pulled back, his breath was heavy, his forehead resting against mine. "Just fucking forget about her," he muttered, his voice low and rough.I blinked, my mind still spinning from the kiss. "Ezekiel...""No." He shook his head, his grip tightening slightly. "I don't wanna talk about her. Not now. Not ever."I swallowed hard, searching his eyes. "But we have to, Ezekiel. You know we do."His jaw clenched. "No, Kailey. What we have to do is move forward. Together."I exhaled sharply, pulling away just enough to put some space between us. "How can we move forward if there are still things between us? If there are still ghosts from th

Cecilia’s POV I was walking into the woods. My informant said he had news for me, and I couldn’t wait to hear what he had for me. I didn’t waste any time. I left the courthouse. At least now James has been injured, so there’s no way he can follow me around. Ever. I said this to myself even as I walked deeper into the woods to meet this guy. He was someone that worked at the priestess’s courtroom.The trees stretched tall and wide around me, their branches swaying slightly in the evening breeze. The scent of damp earth filled the air, mixed with the distant hint of pine. My boots crunched against fallen leaves, the sound almost too loud in the eerie silence. I pulled my cloak tighter around my shoulders, my heart beating a little faster than I’d like to admit.Then, I felt it.A presence. The prickling sensation of eyes on my back.I froze mid-step, my breath catching in my throat. Slowly, I turned my head, scanning the trees behind me. Shadows danced between the trunks, but there was

Kailey’s POV I reached across the table, gripping his hand.“You stay sharp. You listen to James and Lydia. You do not, under any circumstance, trust Cecilia. She will smile at you, she will act like she cares. But never forget what I’m telling you now. If she ever tries to get close, you walk away. If she tries to speak to you alone, you leave. Do you understand me?”His throat bobbed as he nodded.“Say it, Auren.”“I understand,” he said firmly.I released his hand, leaning back.“Good. Because if anything happens to you while I’m gone, I will burn this entire place to the ground.”He gave a small smirk, but I could see the seriousness in his eyes.“I’ll be fine, Mother.”I exhaled, forcing myself to believe it.“I hope so, Auren. I really do.”I sat there, watching Auren, my hands clenched on my lap. The candle on the table flickered, casting shadows over his face. He was fidgeting, his eyes looking everywhere but at me. I could tell he had something to say. Something he thought I

Ezekiel’s POV As I watched my son clutch the pendant, his little fingers tightening around it, I crouched lower until I was at his level. His bright eyes sparkled with pride, excitement dancing in them like flames. I could see it—the way he already felt stronger, more important. And he was.“Auren,” I said, my voice steady but firm. “Did you hear everything your mother told you earlier?”His head bobbed up and down quickly. “Yes, Father.”“Good.” I reached out, tapping a finger lightly against the pendant he held close to his chest. “This means something. This isn’t just a gift, son. This makes you an Alpha. This marks you as a leader. No one can control you now. They can only guide you.”Auren’s eyes widened just a little, the weight of my words settling on his young shoulders. “Only guide me?” he echoed, his voice small but steady.I nodded. “Yes. You’re not a puppet for anyone to move as they please. Not me. Not your mother. Not the elders. No one. You will listen, you will learn,

Ezekiel’s POV As they left, the door slammed shut behind them, the sound echoing through the room. My blood was still boiling, my fists clenched so tight that my knuckles turned white. I took a deep breath, but it did nothing to calm me. My wolf was pacing inside me, restless, furious.James stepped in almost immediately, his eyes scanning my face, reading my anger like an open book. He hesitated at the door, then sighed as he walked closer."Alpha," he said, voice low but firm. "I’m sorry about what just happened. Cecilia… she’s becoming something else entirely. This is getting out of hand."I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my head. "Getting out of hand? James, she’s been a problem for years. Now she’s just getting bolder because these damn elders are letting her."James ran a hand through his hair, his frustration clear. "Maybe we need to reconsider things, Ezekiel. Maybe—""Maybe what?" I snapped, turning to face him fully. "Maybe we let her get away with this? Maybe we bow our h
