Semua Bab I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Ethan's POV Sleep had been a distant fantasy for me the night I heard Elara moaning to Damian's touch. As I kept thinking about everything that had happened my heart broke.Fuck! Her moans rang relentlessly in my head, persistent like a nemesis trying to catch up with me for a crime I had committed. Even in the darkness I could see her bare body, the way he thrusted into her brutally, the way he spanked her ass roughly and the way she reacted to it. Even though she was in pain. Even though she hated him.I could see every single thing. And it was painful to watch. Painful to see another man fucked the woman I love so wildly like she was some whore. And the worst of all was that my cock hardened at the disgusting sight. For a moment, I wished I was the one fucking her like that.Realization dawned on me that I was worse than Damian. Worse than the man who has broken her. I quickly reprimanded myself and my desire quickly morphed into anger, my chest rising and falling like it was goin

Elara's POV Warmth. That was the first thing I felt. A strange, almost unreal warmth spread through my body, and also settled deep in my heart. Even if I hadn't opened my eyes to confirm my environment, I knew for sure this wasn't the cold prison floor that had become my home in the past few days. And an arm wrapped around me. Gentle, soft touch as if shielding me from the brutality in this world, in my world.My lashes fluttered as I struggled to open my eyes. The vision was blurry at first, but after several blinking of my eyes, I saw someone I have never imagined seeing, at least not like this. Not in this broken state I'm in.Mother. Her face hovered above mine, her once beautiful face now twisted in pain, her eyes were red and swollen from several hours of crying. She had been crying and she was still crying. Because the tears were still streaming down her face even as she cupped my cheeks like I was the most important thing in the world. Actually, I was the most important thi

Damian's POV I was waiting.Two hours passed and I was still waiting. After three hours, there was still no word from Ethan. I paced my room restlessly, the guards staring at me and constantly shifting uncomfortably. Something was wrong. Everything was wrong. Ethan wasn't the type to leave for hours without taking permission.He was efficient and prompt in the six years he has worked for me. Alpha Cadman introduced him to me to be my assistant, and we've managed to get closer since then. I trusted him so much and he was the brother I never had. He was always hopeful and full of smiles everytime he carried out the several duties I handed over to him. And now, he was missing. The realization made my heart clenched with suspicion. Where could he have gone? Was he taken or not? If he was taken, who had him? And why? Or did he leave the palace because I failed to listen to him about Elara and even threatened to have him locked up? But Ethan wasn't the type to cower—he was very courageous

Author's POV "Ethan," Kael murmured as he sat on the couch, a twisted smirk playing on his lips. "He's going to be our key. The perfect pawn in this perfect game."Lyra raised a brow as she sat down beside him on the armrest. "What exactly is our next move?"Kael chuckled darkly, warmth spreading across his heart as he envisioned himself sitting on the throne already. He had long wanted this. He had long waited patiently for this. And for the first time, his father, the Rogue king, was going to be really, really proud of his achievements. “Simple. We make it look like Ethan helped Elara with the murder attempt. That he had it planned all along—kill the assassin and the guard to cover her tracks. With Ethan disgraced, Damian won’t know who to trust anymore. When he finally kills Elara, he’ll be too blind with guilt and confusion to see what’s coming for him next.”Lyra smirked, crossing her leg in satisfaction. She can't wait to be Kael's Luna. And most importantly, she wouldn't have

Lyra's POV I blinked again and again. Did I hear him correctly?I stared at Kael in disbelief as he stood, naked and unbothered, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm like he hadn't just degraded me or humiliated me in front of his subordinate. My mind echoed his words. "There's nothing special left about you." My heart twisted from humiliation.I knew he was talking about fucking Damian, but everything I had done were per his orders. Every single thing. And now, he was using them against me? Like I hadn't been of benefit to him.I pulled the sheet tighter around me, my trembling fingers holding onto it like a lifeline, but he snatched it away from my grip. Was he insane or something? I wanted to scream down the whole place, maybe that would make him regain his sanity, but I couldn't, not with the guard still in the room. And because I figured out he was not insane. Kael had always been like that. I was just too stupid, too in love to see it.Kael turned to the guard, who w
