Semua Bab Wolf's Bane: Moonlit Forbidden: Bab 111 - Bab 120

But Lady Ophni was quick to intervene, cutting him off as her head whippped around to face him with a sudden intensity. "No," she said, her voice firm and decisive. She didn't need a hasty report, a rushed summary of half-baked findings. She had waited a year and eight months without seeing her daughter, eight long months without hearing from her directly, without a single word from her own child.. She deserved better than a hurried update. Lady Ophni's eyes locked onto the man's, her gaze piercing and intent. "Take your time, I don't want you to rush," she said, her voice measured and deliberate. "I want you to dig deep and find out everything. Every detail, every tiny piece of information. Don't rush back with half-truths or incomplete reports. I don't care if it takes a week or a month or longer, I will wait, whether it's a week or a month. I need to know what's going on with my daughter, and I need to know everything, even up to the meal she had been served on her first day ther

The servant girl's frantic words replayed in his mind: "It is Lady Ophni, Alpha. She has... she has gone hysterical!" She had burst into the throne room without warning, her urgency palpable. Her unannounced entrance had been a testament to her desperation. Now, as she lay prostrate before him, her head bowed to the floor, Alpha Ardon noticed the subtle tremors that ran through her body. Her body shook like a leaf and it was not the chill of the room that caused her to shiver, but fear - her fear was not just of Lady Ophni's state, but of his own reaction to her intrusion, fear of his wrath, fear of having overstepped her bounds. At least she was aware of the gravity of the situation. She knew better than to interrupt him without good cause, unless it was absolutely necessary, and judging by her demeanor, the fact that she had done so spoke volumes about the severity of the situation. Whatever had driven her to breach protocol was indeed dire. His expression turned stern as he cons

The morning sunlight streaming through the windows highlighted the gentle smile on Corrina's face as she woke up. The day had begun on a promising note for her, despite the fatigue that had become her constant companion to plague her every waking moment. Her pregnancy had brought about significant changes, and her body had grown heavier, weighing nearly twice as much as it used to. But on this particular morning, the exhaustion seemed to lift, replaced by a sense of anticipation, joy and contentment.As she lay in bed, the tantalizing aroma of freshly cooked food wafted into her room, teasing her senses and stirring her appetite. She opened her eyes just in time to see Lotan, her mate, walk into the room with a jug of fruit juice in his hand. A warm smile spread across her face as she gazed at him, her eyes sparkling with curiosity."What are you up to now, Lotan?" she asked, her voice husky with sleep and amusement and filled with warmth and affection. Her eyes sparkled with curiosit

Corrina's palms scraped against the rough stone, her skin stinging from the impact. She whimpered, the sound torn from her lips as she instinctively wrapped her arms around her pregnant tummy. It was a protective gesture, as if she could shield her unborn child from the harm that seemed to be closing in around her.Lotan's face darkened with anger as he rushed to her side, his eyes blazing with fury. He knelt down beside her, his hands gentle as he helped her sit up. Corrina leaned into him, her body trembling with fear and pain."Corrina, are you alright?" he asked, his voice soft and urgent as he helped her sit up. She nodded, still whimpering. His expression softening as he took in her pale face and trembling body."What's the meaning of this?" Lotan demanded, his voice low and menacing. He glared at the guards, his eyes flashing with anger. But his gaze quickly snapped up to Alpha Ardon. "What is the meaning of this?" he demanded, his voice low and even, respectful but firm.The A

The room was heavy with tension, the air thick with unspoken words. Alpha Ardon's silence was a reminder of the power dynamics at play. Lotan's anger, on the other hand, was a palpable force, a living, breathing thing that seemed to pulse with its own rhythm.Yvette's eyes darted up to meet Lotan's, and she swallowed hard, feeling a jolt of fear, her throat dry and constricted. "Lady Kaelin didn't want her daughter to be taken away from her," she explained, her voice barely above a whisper. The words tumbled out of her mouth like a confession, a desperate attempt to justify her actions and make Lotan understand."She wanted to keep Princess Corrina for herself," Yvette continued, her eyes welling up with tears. "I've been with the princess since we were both very young, and she knew I could play the part well, disguised as her daughter, she knew I could mimic Corrina's mannerisms and speech. She knew that if I was sent away, she could keep Corrina by her side."Lotan's face twisted i
