บททั้งหมดของ The Half-Life of a Werewolf: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Chapter 71 Aurora’s POV I tried to focus on Liam’s voice—low, steady, and surprisingly patient as he spoke. For a fleeting second, I found myself admiring him. The way his tone softened, the quiet authority in his words—it almost felt… grounding. But the moment didn’t last. The sound of heels clicking against the stone broke the calm. “Oh, great. She’s here again,” Cassidy muttered under her breath. I didn’t even bother to hide my irritation. “Of course she is.” Selene sauntered in, her red hair gleaming like fire under the sunlight. She went straight to Liam, her face twisting into a practiced pout. “Liam, I don’t feel so good,” she said dramatically, pressing a hand to her forehead. He ignored her at first, jaw tightening, but Selene was persistent—hovering close, sighing loudly, pretending to stumble. Then, with a sudden gasp, she leaned forward as if about to faint. Liam caught her automatically. Her lips curved into a small, triumphant smile—the kind meant only for me.

Chapter 73Cassidy’s POVOn her way back to the castle, Cassidy’s thoughts drifted—uninvited—toward Lucious.When they were children, they had been inseparable. Lucious, Bella, and Cassidy. They played together in the gardens, hid behind the training halls, and spent long afternoons chasing each other beneath the silver trees of the Vale. But while Bella often went home to her father—the Beta—Cassidy remained in the castle. Her father, an Alpha and a gifted sorcerer, served the King closely, and so the castle became her second home.She and Lucious had grown up side by side. What started as friendship had bloomed into something deeper—soft glances, shy touches, whispered promises. Their bond had felt unbreakable… until his nineteenth birthday.Cassidy could still remember the night clearly—the music, the laughter, the glow of torches against the marble walls. Then, everything stopped. She saw it the moment it happened—Lucious froze, his eyes finding Bella across the room. The air betw

Chapter 75 Selene’s POV Hidden in the shadows of the hallway, I watched as Liam stepped out of Aurora’s room. My heart pounded, but I stayed still — quiet enough to hear every word that left his mouth moments before. So… he felt something from her. The memory flashed before my eyes — earlier that day, when I had pretended to be sick and he carried me to my room. I remembered the way he paused, his brows furrowing as if something had struck him. Could that have been the moment he felt it? That strange surge he spoke about? Could it have come from her? The thought made my stomach twist with anger. How could Aurora — that plain, quiet girl — have that pull on him? My jaw tightened. Liam is mine. Whatever that connection was, whatever power or bond they shared, I would crush it before it grew any stronger. I wouldn’t let some outsider take what rightfully belonged to me. “I will be Luna,” I whispered to myself, my voice sharp with venom. “The Luna of the most powerful pack in t

Chapter 76 Aurora’s POV I woke to the sound of commotion outside my room — hurried footsteps, clattering dishes, and voices echoing through the hallway. What’s going on? Curious, I stepped out and saw servants bustling about the castle grounds, carrying trays, jars, decorations, and even heavy stone lanterns toward the courtyard. The air buzzed with energy and purpose. “What’s happening?” I asked a woman struggling with a carved wooden chair. “Oh—Lady Aurora!” she said, smiling briefly before shifting the chair in her arms. “Tonight’s the full moon, and we always hold a festival before the moon rises.” “A festival?” I asked, intrigued. “So where’s all this going?” “We’re setting everything up outside the castle, by the great clearing,” she said, adjusting her grip again. “You can ask Lady Cassidy for more details—she’s helping with the preparations. I really need to get back before they notice I’m gone.” “Of course—thank you,” I said warmly. She gave a quick grin and hurried

Chapter 78 Aurora Lucious walked up to us, his usual confident stride turning heads as he approached. He greeted us casually, then leaned in to kiss Bella. “Oh, please,” I groaned with a grin. “You two should really get a room.” Bella laughed, blushing slightly. “Sorry, couldn’t help it.” Lucious chuckled and looked around. “Why are you three arranging chairs? There are plenty of people who could handle that.” Bella tugged playfully at his shirt. “Because it’s better than sitting around doing nothing. Besides, our dresses are already picked out.” I nodded. “Yeah, everyone’s busy with something. It’s better to help out than just stay indoors.” Cassidy, however, stood silently beside me, her expression distant — almost uneasy. My stomach tightened. Is she worried about my secret? Has she found a way to stop me from transforming tonight? Lucious slipped an arm around Bella’s waist, his gaze soft. “I can’t wait to see you in your festival dress. You’re going to be the most beauti
