All Chapters of The Rise Of The Ugly Luna: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

LYRIC I masked my pain and shock as I watched him take a napkin, dabbing the corner of his mouth. He threw the napkin back on the table and focused his eyes on me."But I'm not just using you, Lyric. I'm protecting you. I'll keep you safe, healthy, powerful. You'll never have to worry about a single thing."I scoffed. "Powerful?" I glanced around with mockery in my eyes. "By what? Making your suckers greet me every morning?"Some seconds passed before he spoke again. "I'm building an empire, Lyric. My plan is already in motion. Soon, I'll be King of my own empire, and I'm offering to make you my Queen."I arched my brows at hm, panic starting to set in. "What plans are you talking about?"He gave his devilish grin. "Why don't you wait for the results, darling? I wouldn't want to bore you with the details."I suddenly remembered Kael telling me a lot of things had been happening around there. Was Caden causing some sort of havoc over there?"What I want between us is quite simple

CADEN The Alphas still looked at him beady-eyed. So he elaborated. "For centuries, your fathers before you have had to suffer being kept in the low ranks. They were Alphas to the people, yet still slaves to some of the Alphas who placed themselves above. Why did there have to be ranks in the first place? Who made that decision? In a world such as this, it was crazy that you have to fight to earn a say among your fellow Alphas."Now, take a look at everything that's happening. You all still get blamed for things you should be consoled for. Even when the higher Alphas are wrong, you get punished for it. This is not living to me. And that is why I'm here to save you from the injustice you've been facing. I'm here to offer you a world you can rule, where everyone will be equal."Silence draped over the hall. The Alphas exchanged glances. They didn't say a word to each other, but the same thoughts ran through their minds. "Um... Caden," Jaxen adjusted in his seat. "What makes you thi

LYRICI didn't know my way around the city Caden had brought me. So, I had to give Jaris the address of the store beside me.I didn't know how far away it was from the Capital City. I waited for so long that I slept off.I woke up to a gentle tap on my back."Lyric."My eyes fluttered open and surprise ripped me from within when I found Jaris kneeling on the floor beside me.He really did come!Or wait; what if I was hallucinating?"Jaris?" I called with furrowed brows, trying to be sure he was real.It was still dark, but I could make out his face clearly. He looked the same even as he wore a simple black jean and shirt."Why are you on the floor?" He asked with displeasure, his hands coming to cradle my head."Come on. Get up."He tried to help me up, but the best I could do was sit with my back leaning against the wall."Sorry, I can't stand," I told him weakly.I knew this had nothing to do with hunger. It was simply the weight of everything crashing on me. The truth about my

I alerted Kael as soon as I could, and the search for Jaris began. Though I stayed out of their sight to avoid being seen by people who wanted me dead.Jace had already been released by the Executioners and was undergoing treatment at his father's place. I wished I could see him, but even I knew that was far from possible.I gave Kael and Nerion the location of Caden's Mansion. Just like he said, he wasn't there when they arrived. None of his men were.They continued searching all through the city. But until a week later, there was still no hope. And the war had only grown worse.The Packs were turning on themselves in very brutal ways with no one to control them. Strangely, the lower ranks seemed to be winning, which was something I couldn't understand. It was crazy how this had slowly turned into a fight between the higher and lower ranks.The people were growing increasingly violent. Buildings were being burnt, families were being attacked and killed, those who had once been friend

LYRICI arrived at the location in less than an hour. But there were no houses around as it looked more like a deserted street.There was no sign of anyone at all.I was about taking out my phone to text Caden when a black van pulled over. Two men came out of it, looked around, then took my bag from me."Did Caden send you?" I asked them but got no response.Arerr going through my bag, they ran a scanner through my body. They thought I had a tracker on me or something?"Into the van," one tipped his head.I got in and we hit the road......The ride was a long and tiring one. I couldn't even see where we were headed in the van.By the time we drove into the compound and stepped out, I took note of my surroundings. This was smaller than the mansion he'd previously been in.The men led me into the house, right to the place where Caden was. My eyes rounded when I found him washing blood off his hands.He glanced at me with a smile before returning his eyes to the sink where he washed
