HEART OF A TRUE LUNA のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

ZACH.Miss Estelle, I don’t think there’s anywhere in the letter that stated wolfsbane was used. So I’m not sure where you get the idea that it was the main poison in question.”My hands clenched into fists. Uncle Aeon delivered it nicely, but it made me furious. I knew Amber would not raise this accusation if it weren’t true, and the fact that Estelle dropped wolfsbane without anyone telling her it was for wolfsbane poisoning was already a red flag. The color drained from her face before she shook her head. “Amber told me. So I knew she was poisoned that day. You need to believe me!”“Again, Miss Estelle, you will have your time to answer every question at the tribunal.”“Amber is lying!” She stood up, tears still rolling down her face. “She hates me so much. That’s why she’s doing this. And you’re all fools to believe this!”“Calm down. You will have your time to explain.” Uncle stood up from his seat and turned to me. “She is not allowed to leave your territory, Alpha Zach.”“I u

GAMMA DRAKE.I kept telling myself I was fine, but I knew I wasn’t. It felt like my heart was swept away by a tsunami, never to be seen again. A few days ago, I heard my warriors talking about the new doctor who entered the territory and how she could light up the area she walked in. I smacked their heads and laughed at them, telling them they should stop watching sappy movies with their girlfriends because they were getting sappier every time they saw a beautiful female. This was a regular occurrence when a new, unmated female entered the territory. I was already getting used to it. I might have only stepped up to the Gamma position in less than a year, but I’d been with these men for almost my whole life. We all grew up and trained together. But despite having this kind of conversation every time a female came here, I would not deny I was curious about the new doctor. I had never fancied someone in that profession before. I always saw them as somewhat strict, with no plans to bend

AMBER. We were celebrating the founding of the Silver Moon Pack, so for the whole day, Zach and I, together with his parents, had been going around the territory to attend celebrations in different areas. Our pack tour would end at the main gathering at the center, which was two hours away from the packhouse. It started around dinnertime and will close the ceremonies for the day. Although we woke up early and had been traveling for most of the day, both Zach and I were in high spirits. Especially me. Zach did not hesitate to introduce me as the future Luna of the pack, and his parents were nothing but supportive and encouraging. And to top it all, the people had given me a warm welcome. I was also overwhelmed that I was given the same garland or flowers that were also given to Aunt Nadia. It only meant the rest of the territory also knew of my existence, and they prepared for me as well.The moon was already at its zenith, but the celebration was still in full swing. Bright lights

ZACH.“I have dreamed of serving you from the moment I asked Dad if he thought I was capable of being an Alpha when I was five years old. I was born to serve you, and I never pictured myself as anything other than the Alpha of this pack…” I paused and looked at everyone before me, from one side to the other. “Those of you who have mates, who have wives, who have someone you love, you know how it feels when the person you love is not around you. I don’t think I can marry someone else other than Amber just so I can keep my Alpha post. I was not taught that way.”The crowd was silent, so I continued. “I’m sorry… I’m still doing my best. I tried not to lose hope. It is the only reason I held back from telling everyone. I always believed I could walk… But maybe I can’t. I’m already running out of time.” I finally admitted it. My only fear was that they would blame Amber because I was choosing to step down instead of claiming a female that would let me retain my title. “Five years of ser

ZACH.Everything had been going on smoothly within the pack. After my confession and my pack showing solidarity through the pack run, I felt a heavy burden was lifted off my shoulders. I no longer feared stepping down, knowing that whatever fate decided to happen in less than a month, my pack would be waiting for me and Amber to return as their Alpha and Luna. But it didn’t mean I was slacking off from my therapy sessions. In fact, I was more eager to do better. I had Amber, and the whole pack who were praying for me. It was enough to build my confidence and my strength. I still couldn’t walk, but I could already stand, holding onto parallel bars without anyone assisting me. And I could remain standing for thirty seconds before my knees would give in. It was a significant improvement. I also tried just holding on to my desk when I was alone in my office. It was still painful on my back and hips, but I was able to stand a bit before I slumped back into my chair.I knew standing was n
