Semua Bab Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen: Bab 121 - Bab 130

The Kingdom was a whirlwind of activity.Banners in the royal colors fluttered from every available balcony, and the air hummed with the excited chatter of the assembled guests. Servants scurried about, making last-minute adjustments to the decorations, while musicians tuned their instruments, preparing to fill the grand hall with festive melodies. Secretary Jace's mating ceremony, was just an hour away, and the preparations were reaching a fever pitch. Elena, the chosen bride, had been discreetly escorted to Jace's family estate nestled in the rolling hills outside the Palace walls.Back in his opulent Palace apartment, Jace meticulously prepared for the ceremony. He donned the traditional attire of his office – a richly embroidered tunic of deep crimson, a heavy sash of woven gold, and a jeweled clasp that shimmered with an array of precious stones. Satisfied he studied his reflection in the full-length mirror.Alessandro, sitting on a plush velvet chaise, watched him with a nagging

Elena’s brow creased slightly at Jace’s last words, a subtle look of confusion crossing her features. She had grown accustomed to Jace's cryptic comments, his veiled allusions to matters she didn’t fully understand.But this time, she sensed that there were layers of meaning hidden beneath these words, secrets that he chose not to share.But tonight, she was too emotionally drained to press him for answers.The ceremony, the reception, the overwhelming emotions of the day had left her feeling exhausted and less alert. She wanted to believe him, to trust in his promises, to embrace the happiness that seemed within her reach.So she pushed aside her nagging doubts, choosing instead to focus on the present moment, on the man who held her in his arms. She told herself that she would address her concerns later, when she was rested and had the clarity to confront him.As he slipped her underwear off, leaving her completely naked before him, she noticed again the calculating glint in his eyes

‘Okay, as you wish,’ Jace replied tightly, a clear indication of his displeasure. ‘The jet will be ready by lunchtime, the pilot still has some logistical matters to arrange.’Then he slammed his mental wall down, a sign that he completely disagreed with my decision.He was hurt, I knew, but I couldn't explain my need to be away from him for some time. It was a complicated mix of grief, anger, and a desperate need be out. I needed to be alone with my thoughts, to process the pain that threatened to consume me. I needed to escape the pitying glances, the well-meaning but ultimately hollow words of comfort.‘Xin,’ I called out, turning to the wolf in my mind. ‘How would you be able to reach Joanna's wolf? I know it's still weak, especially now that she hasn't been near us for weeks. Do you even know her name yet?’Xin got up lazily, this wolf seemed to want to do a centuries-old sleeping spree. Irritated, I watched as he stretched and made no haste to answer me. His indifference grated

Crown Prince Clyde’s Point of View stillWhile keeping an eye on the yacht, I sprinted towards the boathouse. As long as it was anchored there, I still had a chance to reach it with a Jet ski. I grabbed the key from under the mat, unlocked the door, and rushed inside.But to my utter shock, it was empty.The normally well-stocked boathouse, filled with surfboards, snorkeling gear, several Jet skis, and other water sports equipment, was now deserted. I couldn't believe my eyes; no one had made any announcement about this at the Palace. I knew that Alessandro, Carlo, and even my parents occasionally went out to sea and spent time on one of the deserted islands."Damn!" I cursed, frustration boiling over.I quickly ran outside again, intending to rent one from one of the beachside vendors. But when I glanced back, the yacht had shrunk into a mere speck against the vast ocean, slipping further away from me. This was a lost cause, I had lost Joanna yet again.Despondent, I

Alpha Abel’s Point of ViewThat damn Crown Prince!If he thinks he can outsmart me just because he’s Royal, he has another thing coming.I have absolutely no intention of giving up my mate, she is mine, given to me by the Moon Goddess, and he will have to accept that.“Kenrick, why can’t our men find a simple human woman? Are we paying them too much for a lousy job?” I snapped irritably at the man sitting in the passenger’s seat in front of me in the car. I can't help feeling that he's putting very little effort into the job I've given him. Any Head Warrior worthy of serving his Alpha would have gone the extra mile, stepping into the breach to bring his assignment to a successful conclusion. But not this one, it was as if he had no intention of finding Joanna at all.I squinted my eyes at the man, who still had his back turned to me.It just now dawned on me that we were not truly close. He owed his position to his exceptional skills. He had emerged as the best in the training, not on
