BLOODLINE OF THE MOON のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

LYRA'S POVThe driver killed the engine at the end of the driveway in front of the pack house. I picked up my belongings still looking at Leo unsure what he had up his sleeves. “You know I hate suspense. Tell me already! What is this surprise?” I pouted playfully pushing the door open. “The last time I remember, you cherished the word surprise more than your name,” Leo teased, slamming the door shut. He returned my side glance with a smirk before shifting his gaze from me.“Welcome Miss Lyra, kindly walk with me this way,” a middle-aged lady greeted me with a bow before freeing me of the items I held in my hand. One would think she was a younger lady given her striking physical appearance. The wavy brown hair, a pair of beautiful green eyes, and a well-toned body. Most of all, a dazzling smile. I flashed a soft smile back at her responding to her greetings.I pointed to a group of men standing at the far end of the driveway, their eyes shaded by oversized sunglasses, puffing Cuban

ELLA’S POVIt's been over a week since Lyra's disappearance from Shadowclaw. Everything and everyone feels tense. Alpha Jake has mounted strict surveillance and curfew. One had to be more calculative before they did anything.That being the situation, I was more concerned with the fact Lyra turned out to be Leo's lost sister and suddenly he had stopped his pursuit of Alpha Jake. Probably because he is the father of Lyra’s unborn baby which spells doom for me.Lyra knows I organized the kidnap and Leo must have filled her in on what transpired. She'd likely come for me and my brother Jimmy who is in a lot more danger than he was before now.“I have to act up quickly before I get caught up in all of it,” I whispered to myself, sipping a glass of fruit juice I had in front of me. The buzz of my cell phone made me flinch back to reality. I reached for it and my expression suddenly darkened when I saw who it was. “Aemond? What does he want from me again?” I grumbled before taking the call.

LYRA'S POV I rolled over to the other side of the bed with a soft groan, stretching out the remnants of my sleep from my lazy bones. My finger slid underneath my fluffy pillow, brushing against something smooth. I scoffed, trying to figure out what it was at first. Then, I grabbed onto it, pulling it out as I moved my body towards the other side of the bed.Slowly, peeling my eyes open, I looked down to see it was the complimentary card Caspian had handed me at the homecoming party.I ran my fingertip across the engraved letters on the card remembering how confident his eyes had been, how he teased me for running without shoes on. A small smile curled at the side of my lips before I could even realize it.The screen lock of my phone beeped open as my index finger rolled to the fingerprint sensor. My thumb hovered for a second before punching in the numbers on my screen then, I hit the dial icon followed by a ring sound from the other end.My chest tightened immediately when the call

LEO'S POVI stood under the shade of the stone arch that framed the training grounds, the midday sun casting broken light through the dense canopy above. I was lost, totally torn between anger and confusion. What is he even saying? Lyra? How is that even possible? My mind was a jumble of thought that I didn't notice the condensed liquid of the energy drink in my hand, dripping down my wrist. "She was the vessel. The Moon’s Chosen. If you don’t take the power, someone else will. You deserve it. You’re their legacy. She’s just the bearer."The words he said somehow kept echoing in my head twisting inside my gut like a knife."How did you get to know?" I had asked him, curiosity etching in my tone. "How come my better now knows more than I do?"He'd smiled that sly, venom-laced grin of his and said, "When the men we had sent to abduct Jake's Luna brought her in, Zephyr had to take her with an enchanted collar. I'm sure you know what that means?" Aemond asked, raising his brows slightl

LYRA'S POVI hurried up to my feet, swerving through the display glasses stationed at different points.“Hey, ma'am! Watch your steps! The angry sales attendant spat at me, as she picked up her merchandise from the floor, though I didn't stand to apologize. “I'm so sorry,” I whispered almost inaudibly in between my heavy gasps as I ran towards Caspian. “Sorry, excuse me!” I said, pushing through onlookers and those purchasing some items.What the hell was he doing here? He didn't even have the dignity to search for me. How long has it been since I disappeared? Here he is, splashing luxury on a traitor! How demeaning can this get? Jake will always remain Jake! A manipulator!“Lyra? Lyra, is that you?” Jake's voice came behind me.“Jake, where are you going? You can't be running after someone just like that! Stop embarrassing yourself! You are creating a scene!” A second voice came through. It was Ella. She also joined the chase but not to find out if it was truly me, instead, she tri
