Semua Bab The Lost Luna: Pregnant for the betraying alpha : Bab 61 - Bab 70

FionaOh, goddess. I said a thousand prayers in my mind, hoping to the goddess that it wasn’t really him. I wished my ears were really playing tricks on me. But I couldn’t have been more sure in my entire life. It was alpha Maddox, and I could feel his aura right from underneath his large paw. “I am confused, alpha Lucian,” Maddox said, and to my surprise his voice was unexpectedly cool, almost as if he was scared of Lucian. “I thought you wanted her dead,” he asked. Lucian kept on vibrating his chest with more venomous growls. “She is mine to decide her fate, not you, so let go of her in this instance Maddox,” he snarled more authoritatively than he had done in the last few minutes. To my greatest surprise, Maddox retreated. With a reluctant growl, he moved his paw from my back, and just then it felt like a heavy stone had been lifted off from me. I was stunned—completely. I didn't know how to apprehend what was happening at that very moment. Maddox, the very alpha whom Lucian

FionaI knew my answer even before he asked. I have always thought of this moment where I would have to choose between my brother and my mate. The only thing was that I never knew it’d happen so fast, and worst of all—the time, when I was just reconciling with him. Mera herself hated how our situation had drastically changed, from reconnecting with our mate to hanging on the fence again. I swallowed the lump in my throat. My eyes focused on Lucian’s, searching for a trace of understanding—something to hold me at this moment where I felt like I was falling apart from the inside. “I have to go to him, Lucian,” I admitted quietly, my voice rising barely above a whisper. I think I need to look Orion in the eyes and ask him why. I need to understand what has driven him to betray you—to betray his pack.”I hope the goddess forgives me for that lie. I knew what had driven Orion to this violence, but I wasn’t just going to tell Lucian just like that. Not right now. I need to find a way to

FionaHis words didn’t come out as a joke. He meant it. He wanted to need what he started. I could tell from the wild, sinister grin spreading across his face—so cruel, and at the same time, lazy.My eyes weren’t trained for how fast he moved. All I knew was that he had taken a step forward, but before I knew it, he was already a few feet away from me. Thankfully, Damir was already in motion.Nox’s body collided with Damir’s, the force sending both of them to crash onto the forest ground in a blur of glowing eyes, claws, and muscles.“Stay away from her,” Damir’s voice shot out through the chaos as he already began bleeding from another strike on his shoulder.I held myself back, torn between fighting for a man who I had only met a few days ago or just running off.The growls erupted like thunder, shaking the leaves on the surrounding trees. Nox was still a brutal fighter even though his clothes were soaked with blood. Damir, however, was holding on his own, barely, but he was tired.

FionaI froze on the spot, unable to believe that these words had just stumbled out of this warrior. But they haven’t just stumbled out, he has exposed me. Why would he have told Orion that I had healed him?After saving him from the claws of death?How come I haven’t even thought about it until now? My healing ability. I have safely kept it a secret from Orion or anybody in particular, even Lucian doesn’t know about this. I have focused my mind so much on proving Nox’s and Rhena’s betrayal. I had been so desperate to be heard, that I had completely forgotten about this—the consequences that would come from exposing myself like this.The room had become heavy with a thick smoke of tension—thick with shock and confusion.Orion furrowed his brows, his jaw clenched tight. “You’d better explain yourself,” he demanded after a brief silence, his voice dropping to a dangerously low tone. And it was as if he was hoping he had misheard.He didn’t.The warrior offered his neck respectfully, avo

FionaI didn’t know what to say or how to respond. My body moved effortlessly from his push as he turned me forward and started restraining me. “Take her to her room,” Nox ordered. “The Alpha will pay her a visit soon.” He said with a sinister smirk hanging in his lips. “You, take his body away. Rhena and I will come to inspect him later.” Nox orders a warrior. I watched as two warriors proceeded to lift Orion’s body without questions or hesitation. And I couldn’t help but wonder if all the warriors in this pack had been anticipating for his death. Do they all still hate him after he had save them from their toxic alpha?Damir binds my hands behind me with goddess knows what. I didn’t even bother to fight against him. I couldn’t. I was too tired to. To tired physically and emotionally. At this moment, I just wondered if things would ever get better for me. My mind wandered off as Damir guided me further down the hallway towards my room. Was this my life now? How can my brother be
