Semua Bab The Rise Of The Ugly Luna: Bab 181 - Bab 190

       LYRIC  The monster gave me a location and warned me not to tell anyone about it. It's not like I was planning to. The last thing I wanted to do was distract Jaris from what he had to do tonight. I got rid of the tears on my face with makeup and was just about to head out when Jaris came in again. He was fully dressed this time. "You ready?" There was hardly any mirth in his voice. Gone was the playful Jaris. This was the cold Alpha that had serious business to attend to. "I—" My eyes dropped to the floor. "I'm sorry, but could I catch up with you later?" He cocked him brows. "Why?" "I'm sorry, I'm just... having these cramps. I think I need to take some drugs and rest for a while." He didn't hide the displeasure from his face. "Isn't there a way you could rest

LYRICHe crouched to my level and yanked my hair."Let's see how long you get to put up with the show, Lyric. I'm curious. Are you?"Caden disappeared for some minutes and reappeared looking calmer. The blood on his face was gone.I was already on my feet, my back leaned against the wall with my arms crossed, cooking up a million scenarios of how I could get away from here. Jaris might be looking for me already."What are your plans for me?" I spread my arms. "For how long do you intend to keep me here? I need to go."He silently went over to the wine counter where he refilled his glass. He kept his cold silver eyes on me as he drank slowly from his wine.I shifted uncomfortably on my feet, getting nervous by the second. The urge to get out of here was growing stronger."So, you're actually in love with my brother," he remarked when he lowered the glass from his lips, then laughed. "You have no idea, Lyric, how much more you just made me interested in stealing that heart of you

      LYRIC  I was too late.  I just knew it the moment I ran into the hall.  I'd been lucky enough to get a flight coming to Silver Citadel, but of what use was it when I missed the most important show anyway? The noise coming from the hall was too much. The music was loud, screams of celebrations and even drums being rolled in different parts.  The people were in their happiest mood. A new King had been chosen.  My heart pounded with anxiety as I made my way through the crowd, looking for a familiar face I could ask how it went.  Who won? Jaris or Zarek? What if Caden's plan worked in my absence? Gods, I'd never be able to forgive myself if this whole thing was ruined because of me.  It was stressful getting through the excited crowd. When I still couldn't see a fami

JARISShe texted the location and I was there in no time. She opened up when I rang the bell, and the moment I laid eyes on her, I forgot about my worries for a minute.She was wearing a thigh-length night dress—short enough to reveal her thick thighs. It had a matching jacket, but it did nothing to hide the beauty of her cleavages.Her hair was down and on her shoulders, her face bare of makeup.It was just a nude-colored dress, yet she looked beyond sexy.It wasn't until I stopped looking at her flesh and looked at her face instead that I realized how sore her eyes were. It drew a frown on my face."Have you been crying?"She shook her head while trucking some strands of hair behind her ear. Now who was she kidding?I made my way into the small cozy room."You shouldn't be here," she mumbled."And where else should I be?""I don't know. With the grand Luna?"Her words struck me deeply. I was about to say something when she suddenly winced and clutched her tummy."Hey!" I rus

JARISIf I could punch myself in the jaw right now and make it hurt, I would.I hated myself more than anything right now, not because I got someone pregnant, but because Lyric was hurt. So fucking hurt because of me.Damn it. I should've told her. I just knew it was wrong and didn't want to deal with the guilt. Plus, we were already cool, so I didn't think there would ever be a reason to open up about it.For two days, I didn't get to see her. Though I knew where she was staying but didn't make any attempt to go near her as I knew she needed space. Even I didn't know how to face her.But the coronation was the following day—as was my marriage with Marta—and there was no way I'd be able to proceed with it if Lyric and I were still in this mood.So, I summoned her home. Sent some guards to get her and instructed them not to leave without her.I knew she could be stubborn when she wanted to be. So, the guards were permitted to drag her here if the need arose.They brought her to a
