All Chapters of The Rise Of The Ugly Luna: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

I thought the guard was joking or wrong. Jaris was here? What was he doing here? I knew there was no way he'd be looking for me. He should be more than happy that I left. I followed the guard to the living room, and to my surprise, Jaris was there, Kael and Nerion top. Father was standing beside Jaris, and they all looked at me as I walked in. Okay. Maybe he's here to terminate the contract. That'd be the best news I'd have heard in years. Right now, I didn't want him here. I didn't even want to see him. Seeing him only brought back painful memories of what he'd done to me the previous night.I didn't even bother to greet him as I stood with them, making sure to keep my distance."Alpha Jaris is looking for you," Father said, surprising me.I looked at him but didn't say a word. I noticed he'd been staring at me since I came into the room."I'd love to speak with her alone, if you don't mind," Jaris said to those around him.What?"No." My voice was firm. "Whatever you have to say

JARISI arched my brows at her but didn't say a word."You know there's something you're keeping from everyone I may not really know what it is, but I can smell it around you—fishy." She sniffed the air. "There is something fishy about you. I have always been able to tell each time I laid eyes on you. And you know if you sit on that throne—" she pointed at the empty throne ontop the stage. "—there would be chaos."I shrugged my shoulders with nonchalance. "I don't know what you're talking about, Selestia.""Oh, we both know you do." She turned to the elders. "He can't be on that throne. You can't let it happen. I am telling you, if Jaris Dreadmoor rules us all, he'd bring destruction upon us. He is bad for this. Very bad." Her eyes were darker as she returned them to me. "And he knows it."I held her gaze, not giving any expression, whatsoever."Selestia, come on," Luca frowned. "You must be stressed. You should go on and get some rest.""Won't you consider a word I just said?"

JARISOh, Maddy. If she wasn't my sister right now."Why don't you understand me, mother?" She looked at mother with tears glistening in her eyes. "He killed them. And when I kept saying it to his face, he had me locked up!""No. You were locked up because you killed people. We only wanted you to get better, Maddy."While they argued, I managed to take out the blade myself. The wound was nasty and wasn't healing. Fuck the little thing that was my sister."Listen carefully, Maddy." My voice was serious enough to get both their attention. "I didn't want you back, not now. But if you don't get a grip on yourself during your stay here, I promise you, I'll have you dragged back to that facility. This time, I'll make sure they keep you in an isolated room so there are no chances of you escaping ever again."I flicked my gaze from her head to heel. "Don't make me think you're still mad and need their care.""Jaris, please stop." Mother said with exhaustion.Maddy's lips were parted as

I sighed as I stepped away from him to get an ointment. "I didn't take your calls because I didn't want to talk to you."It was a good thing I wasn't looking at his face when I said that. I didn't want to see his reaction.I got what I wanted and returned to him. I was almost done. Just a few more applications...The door opened and Evans strolled in, holding an extra saline in one hand and a clipboard in the other. His ever-present grin was plastered across his face."Greetings, Alpha Jaris," he said with a slight bow, then turned to me. "How's it going? I was told you might need this." He showed the saline he'd come in with."Actually, no. I'm almost done." I returned my gaze to Jaris' chest."I can see. Doctor Lyric working her magis as usual."I laughed. "Evans, it's just standard procedure. No magic involved."Evans was one of the nice ones. Over the month, you could say we've become friends."By the way, when you're done here, could you check on Mrs. Lockwood for me? She's convi

        LYRIC He must sense my fear because he smirked. "Calm down, will you? I just want to talk." He leaned against the wall, crossing his arms like this was a normal conversation. "Remember those times you were upset that I hadn't taken you to bed?" I gulped hard at his question. Why was he bringing it up? Instead of letting him rule the conversation with my fear, I forced myself to play strong. "Yeah. You mean all those times you'd bring different women home and make me listen to their moans? Sure, I remember." He chuckled. Like this was funny to him?! "I just wanted to say I'm sorry, Lyric." I scoffed. "Sorry for what? For not wanting to have sex with me because I was too ugly to be looked at?" "Well, you can't blame me, can you? Your face was nothing
