Semua Bab HEART OF A TRUE LUNA: Bab 161 - Bab 166

AMBER.FLASHBACK. A few minutes before Amber’s 18th birthday. I should be sleeping already, but I was waiting for the clock to hit twelve to see who would greet me first. The girls and I were in a video call earlier, except for Catherine, who was halfway around the world trying to mend her broken heart. So I wasn’t expecting anything from her, but Amara and Cassidy were competitive and were betting on who could greet me on the dot. And aside from that, I wanted to see if Zach would also message or call me right away, or would wait until tomorrow at my party. Which was something I also looked forward to. He was my escort, while Cyrus opted for our younger sister, Eva. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of movement on my balcony. It must be the wind. But then something sounded as if someone was knocking on the glass door.My heart thudded loudly as I walked toward it. I should be worried, but my curiosity got the best of me. I drew the curtain to take a peek, and my eyes widen

AMBER.“Let me just go up there…” I anchored my hand on the counter, gearing myself to jump up to reach the overhead cabinet attached to the ceiling. “No. No. No. Don’t do that. Get a chair, baby… Please.”“Relax. This is not the first time. Besides, even with a chair, I won’t reach it.” I softly chuckled. I was too short, and the ceiling was too high. “That part there is steep.” He was referring to the side where the cabinet was. “Why did you even need to put it up there?”“Don’t worry. I’ll be careful. Sit back and relax.” I winked at him and heard him say other things, but I ignored them and began climbing the counter. I moved toward the front of the cabinet, and like he said, the part of the counter was steep. It can only hold one-third of my foot, so I had to stand on my toes. I opened the cabinet door, using it for support as I scanned the inside looking for the boxes, when a burn suddenly hit my stomach. The hit turned into a massive pain like I was punched, making my body

ZACH.I needed to make a choice.‘She’s pregnant, Zach. I can sense a pup inside her.’ Apollo said, making my heart sink more. As if seeing her bleeding was not enough to torture me.So many thoughts were running through my head—things I should have worried about, but they were nothing compared to how my heart was shattering at the moment. Only Amber could instill this fear in me. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I don’t want to do this, but I don’t want to lose you…” I sobbed, talking to her wolf. “Please forgive me… I promise, in another life, Apollo and I will find you. I’m sorry.”My body was wracked with my cries, knowing that I was choosing to let her go. And I might have to pay the price for this. Aside from the council imposing a sanction for marking an Alpha Female outside of the Claiming, Amber might also hate me for killing her wolf.But I needed her alive. “Please don’t think that I don’t love you. I have loved you and Amber all my life.” With trembling hands, I carefully placed
