Все главы Reborn as his Fated Luna: Глава 21 - Глава 30

Selene's POVThe note burned in my hand, as though it carried a fever of its own. Even now, after reading it a dozen times, the words seem to whisper louder rather than fade. “...Do with this what you want, but I’d advise you to keep this from Alpha Kieran. He may not even save you.”I stared at it again, maybe for the last time. The ink had bled slightly, like the pen had been pressed too hard. I turned it over, then again, half-hoping that on this third—or tenth—inspection, a secret would reveal itself. Maybe a name, an initial, or even a smudge that made sense.But there was nothing. Just the words.I pressed it to my chest, as if I could slow the racing of my heart by force. My hands trembled slightly, and I hated that they did.Who had slipped it under my door?And why now?I had felt like eating when I woke up just moments before—nothing too heavy, something to remind me I was still human. But now, that craving is gone as my stomach clenches with something colder than hunger.I

Selene's POV After Letha had left the room two days ago, I paced the floor restlessly here and there. And to think I haven't left my room for two days now.But somehow, the knowledge that someone knew the truth should have felt like relief—but instead, it clawed at my insides like a ticking bomb.Tick. Tick. Tick.Each second stretched like hours and my thoughts wouldn’t stay still but rather they circled like vultures over a carcass which seemed to be my peace and sanity. The walls of the room might as well have been closing in on me, inch by inch, breath by breath.‘What if Letha was a trap?’‘What if Kieran had sent her?’Because at this stage trust was a big deal indeed. The thoughts came like sharp jabs, slicing into every bit of hope I tried to hold onto. I kept replaying her words and the weight of her voice when she whispered what she knew. But the look in her eyes when she said everything she said hadn’t been fake. That kind of grief couldn’t be faked, you know.Still, I cou

Selene's POV“Ding Dong!”The sharp chime of the room bell sliced through the silence. At first I didn’t flinch, but my body registered the sound with the subtle tightening of my jaw. Then a voice followed, polite but firm.“My Luna, Alpha wants you to join in at the dining.”But I said nothing.Didn’t they already know? Didn’t he?I thought somehow Alpha Kieran had stated that I would come on my own, whenever I was ready. Why was he going against what I felt we agreed on already.I stayed still in the silence, staring up at the high ceiling with its delicate carvings, wishing it would collapse on top of me just so I wouldn’t have to deal with anyone. My fingers gripped the edge of the blanket curled around me.Fifteen minutes must have passed, though it felt like hours before another sound came.More of a bang or let's say a boom like someone was trying to knock the door off its hinges.My heart jumped and my breath caught at the same time.“Open the door now.”There was no mistaking

Selene’s POV“I learnt that you were looking out for me. I hope there is no problem, my Luna.”Letha asked the moment she got into my chamber and I had asked her to bolt the door right behind her.My fingers clenched at the edges of my clothes. What was she even thinking? Why wouldn't there be a problem in the first place? How could she stroll in, her tone casual, like I hadn’t been losing sleep or like my chest wasn’t about to cave in from how hard my heart kept pounding.“You should have known better,” I muttered, my voice sharp with the frustration I had been bottling up, “that I have been here alone, scared out of my life. And at least, you are the only one I can trust enough to relate to what is bothering me.”Letha’s face softened as she walked toward me. “I fully understand, my Luna, but you know that there is a way I will get close to you and everything would seem too suspicious. Besides, yesterday and the day before were my off days. We do it here—two days off, two days on.”

Alpha Kieran's POVNot when the feast hadn't gone midway, I noticed how Raven was so carefree.I made her sit next to me as my Luna, and I observed her more than anything else in that moment. Her laughter screamed ‘too freely’, too brightly for a night like this. And the way she made one of the maids sit beside her—a girl I didn’t recognize by her name but by her face—cut off something inside me.And also I don't like the idea of my Luna close to a maid. They whispered and giggled more like sisters, almost acting all unaware of the atmosphere. Whatever joke they shared was wrapped in secrecy, only known to them and maybe the Moon Goddess herself. I had never seen Raven like this before. Never. Not like I didn’t like it. She looked all stunning. But this wasn't how she had behaved in the past few days. She had been guarded, quiet, holding herself like a secret wrapped in layers of cold. Now she was glowing and relaxed? Almost too comfortable? That shift in demeanor set something off i
