Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Mute Luna Bride : Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

ELORA The wind stung my face as I darted across the dry ground. I could feel the floors shake underneath my feet. Stormrider was falling, the kingdom was in total shambles and it was extremely easy to see. I knew we had to take advantage of this and make it out before Selene and Varek were able to reorganize. People must have been in shock over Kael’s death, and it would take a lot of time for them to explain that. I had to make it out of here as quick as possible. Stormrider would be fine, I hope. This pack had never really been home to me. My home was with someone else…somewhere else. My legs were weak and trembling, but I forced myself to push forward despite the ache in my lower back. Every time I wanted to stop, I would remind myself of Azrion’s words and step out of it immediately. I was capable of far more than I knew. I needed to do myself a favour and remind myself of that fact. Every breath scraped my throat like fire. But I couldn’t stop. Not now. We were close…so frea

RYKER I could smell her before even I saw her.Blood, smoke, and that juicy scent of lavender mixed with sweat. My wolf’s ears pricked up, looking forward to the sound of her voice. I had been restless for hours on end, not sure if she would make it. To see her, with Hagar and Kiara just as she had promised, would mean a great deal to me. “Princess?” I turned around just in time to catch her as she stumbled into the corridor that connected the western wing to the eastern one which Jarek, Dain, and I currently stood in. Kiara and Hagar followed close behind, the latter half limping with her arm around Kiara’s shoulder. I looked down at her stomach and my eyes widened. A dagger was still sharp in there as blood stained the ragged dress she had on. Her eyes lit up when she saw me. It was as though she no longer cared about the blade in her intestine. My heart swelled with joy. I honestly had never thought I would see her again either. I had never thought I would see any of them ag

ELORA I wasn’t done with him yet. Not nearly. I continued to keep my eyes fixed on him. Tall, majestic, still regal despite all the crimes he had committed. I could see why he had deluded himself into thinking he was fit to sit on that throne. With a face like his, and a heart like his, one could do almost anything. Whatever he had decided to do to Kael and Kranos Stormrider were not my business. Not that I didn’t care, I did. Before the last few days of his life, Kael had been nothing but a sweetheart, and I had never much cared for Kranos. But my father…Varek Valewind had just confessed to committing two crimes; the first being the death of my mother, and the second being lying to me all my life. The echoes of Varek’s voice still rang through my skull like a curse I couldn’t shake.“I gave your whore mother the death she deserved.”“You are not my child.” Bastard. The word rang in my head time and time again. It finally made sense why he had treated me the way he had. Perhaps Se

ELORA Ryker’s hands brushed the skin of my cheek even as I remained glued to his body. I was shaking deep in my bones, and the feeling of victory was…surreal. It had all happened so fast, almost like a fever dream. But it wasn’t. I had lived it. Every single moment of it. I raised my head up to look at him. There was no smile in his eyes, only a forlorn look. I had thought he would be screaming for victory after defeating the people he had longed to for most of his life. “Are you alright?” I found myself asking. Ryker sucked in a deep breath and slowly pulled away. When he looked down at me, there was a gentle smile on his face. “We won,” I continued. “You should be happy.”“Yeah,” his gaze drifted over my head. No doubt to Selene’s dead body and Varek’s. “But at what cost?”When I said nothing, he continued. “They were your family, princess.”Family. The word stabbed me in my stomach. I recounted Varek’s confession. How he had never wanted me, how my being alive was just one

AUTHOR The sun had never risen brighter over Stormrider. It had been a long time since the kingdom shook with the joy that currently flowed through it. It had been long since there was a king or a queen generous enough to invite every living soul in the pack to the festivities happening in the palace. Not even the wedding of the dead alpha king, Kael Stormrider, had been met with such excitement by the people of Stormrider. They had long prayed for a ruler who cared, who truly saw them, and the goddess had given them Elora Azrion. Yes. The girl known as the mute lady of Valewind was now Luna Elora Azrion. She had taken her father's name after learning the truth. After all, it was only because of him that she got the courage to stand on her own, to fight the forces that had stood against her.  The courtyard where blood once soaked the stone was now dressed in woven silk and moonflowers.
