Semua Bab Luna Overnight; From Human To Luna: Bab 31 - Bab 40

lpha Chester's POV My chest was hurting badly. I could hardly even breathe. No, it wasn't the injury. That was mostly healed now. But it was the desolation that came with knowing I caused my mate's pain. Again. Her screams of terror kept echoing in my head, I could feel her heart beat as if it was inside me. That wasn't even the worst pain. The pain I felt knowing she absolutely hated it here and hated me for keeping her here was terrible. I knew what I had to do yet I couldn't do it. Yes, I was selfish. Yes, I was afraid of living the way I had the past decades. Yes, I wanted my mate by my side. I shut my eyes and dived down the cliff, into the blue-green waters below. There was a grotto waterfall close to the fortress I was always took a swim at. I hadn't been here since I came with Icelyn and was going to show her this place after her first assessment test. But I was here alone. “You know you can still catch a cold even as Alpha, don't you?” I heard the keeper's vo

Icelyn's POV The food was bland, the air was stale, the colours were muted, the trees seemed sad. I was plagued by nightmares every night but when I woke up, I forgot exactly how it happened. Dad was still barely around but at least this time I had freedom. I even took a solo outing and checked out the city like a tourist. The snacks were nice, albeit too sugary. It was the end of the week already and Dad had informed me we were going to live together at the state house. “If that's what you want,” he added. What I wanted? I didn't even know what I wanted. But I knew there was this hollow space inside me that seemed to be getting bigger and bigger by the day. I craved satisfaction but from what exactly?Dad exhaled and sat beside me on the porch where I had been for the past hour. It was late into the night and I was watching the trees. There was a halfmoon in the sky and the air was cold. “Icelyn, how have you been?” he asked. Weird question. He knows I've been doing fine.“Dad

Icelyn's POV “Take care. Be fine. Stay wonderful and cheerful. Do you hear me?” he pinched my cheek, making me laugh. “I will. And… tell him… tell him…” I didn't even know what to tell him. “Whatever you want to say, he probably knows. Just focus on getting home to your family.”“The words… would he know if I say them eventually?”“He would. He would feel it. So would you. And afterwards, you both would be completely erased from each other's memories. Forever.” I froze then nodded blankly and sat in the car.The car started and moved but—“Wait. Just wait.”The driver stopped the keeper was at my window. I wound it down, alarmed at his sudden intrusion. “If you… if you change your mind. Oh, I know you don't want to, but if you ever do change your mind. Take this one.”He handed me another folded paper. I opened it and three words were written on it. TAKE ME BACK. “Just say these words out loud with conviction. I'll know and send for you. But there's another thing that'll make it

“And he did,” I replied with a smile. “I’m glad.”I contemplated whether to tell him the real reason dad had me locked up my entire life. That was a major secret and I wasn't sure if it was right to tell him just when I'd just found out myself. “What are you thinking?” he asked in a whisper. “Nothing.” “Icelyn, I can feel you contemplating on something. What is it? Maybe I could be of help.”I turned, faced him and stared at him. “Promise me you'd keep this a secret.” “To my grave. Unless you permit otherwise.”I nodded and explained everything I understood about my parents, myself and my locked up childhood. When I was done, he pulled me into a hug. “You’re safe with me, Icelyn. I promise.”I hugged him back. “I know,” I whispered and relaxed in his hold. When we unlocked, he stared into the distance. “Would you like me to trace your mother? I mean her life. If you're curious about her.” He squeezed my hand as I stared at the trees in thought. “I’m afraid digging up anyt

Icelyn's POV Was this what attraction felt like? This tight feeling in my chest that kept building up whenever he looked at me, smiled at me, kissed my cheek or simply laughed. Alpha Chester looked like a god when he smiled. He had these lines on his face whenever he got rid of his deathly frown. I had tried HARD not to look at his naked chest and abs while we spoke. He was glistening with sweat and a weird part of me wanted to trace my fingers along the contours of his frame. Hot. Simply hot. “I’ve got something to show you,” he said while he dropped a plate of steaming pancakes and eggs for me. I dug in immediately. “What is it?” I asked as I blew on my food before eating. He sat opposite me, his eyebrow lifted and his gaze steadily placed on me. “It’s a secret,” he whispered. “Just tell me. I'm very curious you see,” I demanded. He chuckled deeply, making me tighten my belly. I shifted uncomfortably and ate more. “The sooner you finish eating, the quicker your curiosity is
