Semua Bab Wolf's Bane: Moonlit Forbidden: Bab 121 - Bab 130

The sun's warm rays had long since faded and its descent had painted the sky with hues of gold, a breathtaking sunset that seemed to linger on the horizon, casting a golden glow over it as the evening drew in. The air was alive with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the distant chirping of crickets. But in Lady Ophni's chambers, the atmosphere was tense and foreboding.Alpha Ardon stood in the doorway of his wife's chambers, his eyes fixed on her profile. She stood motionless by the window, her gaze fixed on some distant point beyond the castle walls, lost in thought as she stared out into the distance, her mind a thousand miles away. The fading light danced across her face, casting a golden glow over her features, highlighting the sharp angles of her cheekbones and the determined set of her jaw which seemed to be chiseled from stone, a testament to her unyielding spirit. Alpha Ardon's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched her, his eyes betrayed a hint of concern, his mind work

The darkness outside was oppressive, a living, breathing entity, casting long shadows that seemed to move of their own accord. Like a heavy blanket that wrapped around the castle, like a shroud, suffocating everything in its path. Lotan stood outside the door, his ears still ringing with the words he had overheard. He had been walking down the corridor when he stumbled upon a conversation that was meant to be private. The conversation had been hushed, but his ears had picked up every detail. Alpha Ardon's promise to Lady Ophni had been clear, and Lotan knew that Yvette and the children were in grave danger. A sense of foreboding settled over him, and he felt a shiver run down his spine, with the weight of the words settled heavily on his shoulders. He felt a sense of urgency wash over him and he knew that he had to act quickly, to warn Yvette of the danger that lurked in the shadows. His mind was racing with thoughts of how to escape, how to keep his mate and the children safe. He

The darkness of the pre-dawn hours still lingered over the castle like a ghostly presence, casting a somber mood and a mystical spell over its stone walls. The air was cool and still, heavy with anticipation, with a hint of dampness that seemed to seep into every pore. Alpha Ardon stirred in his bed, his eyes slowly adjusting to the dim light that seemed to dance across, clinging to every corner of the room, the silence punctuated only by the soft creaking of the wooden floorboards.As he sat up, he noticed his wife, Lady Ophni sitting in a chair facing the open balcony, her gaze fixed on some point beyond the castle walls. The moon had dipped below the horizon, and the sun was still just stretching lazy fingers of light across the sky, announcing the coming of the morning. The stars still twinkled in the sky, like diamonds scattered across the velvet expanse, a thousand tiny lights guiding the way.The soft, ethereal light cast a faint glow over the room, illuminating Lady Ophni's p

Her eyes locked onto his, her gaze pleading. "You have to go, Lotan," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Take the children and go. I'll...I'll try to distract them, give you time to get away." His face contorted in anguish, and he felt a wave of emotion wash over him, a pang of despair. Her words were a desperate cry, a plea for him to save their children, but his heart was torn, his love for Yvette warring with his duty to protect their daughters. He knew he couldn't leave her, not now, not ever. But Yvette's eyes were wild with desperation, and she grasped Lotan's arms, her fingers digging deep into his skin, her touch burning with a fierce intensity. "Leave me, Lotan," she begged, her voice cracking with pain and sorrow. "Take the girls and go. I'll pay for my sins, but you have to ensure their survival." Lotan's eyes met hers, and he saw the determination there, the resolve to sacrifice herself for their children's sake. He knew he couldn't argue with her, not now, wh

Yvette's apology was her last act. As her words faded away, dissolving into the cold, unforgiving atmosphere of the throne room, her body seemed to succumb to the weight of her own mortality and gave out. Her head remained bowed to the floor, her chest motionless, and her limbs relaxed into a lifeless pose. The bow, once a symbol of contrition and respect, had become a permanent gesture, her body a lifeless shell, a testament to the price she had paid for her defiance. The air was heavy with tension, the shadows cast by the flickering torches seeming to dance on the walls like specters of death. The throne room, once a symbol of power and authority, had become a scene of death. The silence was oppressive and seemed to stretch on forever, weighing heavily on everyone in the room, a heavy blanket that seemed to suffocate, making it hard to breathe, hard to think. The only sound the soft whisper of Lady Ophni's ragged breathing, a reminder that even in death, the drama was far from ove
