Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reborn Luna Queen: Mated to His Big Brother: Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

|| Lilac's POV || Alaric reached us soon enough, his smile bright but his eyes sharp as they met mine. Every strode he took made my heart shivered. “I’m sorry I’m late. I was held up at work," he apologized, his stormy grey gaze never left mine, as if his words were only meant for me. “Better late than never,” Madeline said, her tone light but her eyes wary. “Well, I always keep my word,” Alaric replied, his smirk widening as he handed Alexander an envelope. “Here. And congratulations.” “Thanks for the support,” Alexander said, his tone polite but guarded. “Yeah, this means a lot to us,” I added, my voice soft but sincere. “Anything for you, dove,” Alaric said, his eyes locking onto mine as he winked. What on earth! Was he out of mind? Everyone was watching us! My cheeks burned, and I quickly looked away. “Now, if you’ll excuse me,” Alaric said, giving Alexander a small courtesy nod before turning and walking away. As soon as he was out o

|| Lilac’s POV || Two weeks had passed in a whirlwind of preparations, anticipation, and quiet dread. The day of the nomination declaration had finally arrived, and with it, the grand ball hosted by the Alpha King. This was no ordinary event— it was a celebration of power, ambition, and the future of the kingdom. The entire country buzzed with excitement, the air thick with the promise of change. For me, however, the day was tinged with a bittersweet nostalgia. I had lived this moment before, but in another life, under vastly different circumstances. The morning had been a flurry of activity. Dad, as the Royal Beta, was in charge of organizing the event, and Mom was his ever-efficient partner. My lazy butt brother even had thrown himself into the preparations with a newfound ferver. Ever since he learned about Alexander’s candidacy, he had found a role model in the alpha and was determined to prove himself worthy of being the Royal Beta Alexander deserved. I was proud of h

|| Lilac’s POV ||“Well, someone made quite an entrance,” Elara said, poking me with her elbow. “Shut up,” I muttered, though I couldn’t help the smile tugging at my lips. “You look stunning. It’s… not just stunning. It’s like you’re walking the red carpet. And you even matched with him,” she said, her tone teasing. I glanced down at my gown, a deep blue that shimmered like the night sky, and then back at Alaric, who was standing in a corner, his eyes still on me. His suit was a perfect match for my dress, the dark fabric accentuating his broad shoulders and lean frame. His lips formed a small smile as our eyes met, and I felt that familiar flutter in my chest. “Lost in his eyes again, Princess?” Elara teased, snapping me out of my thoughts. “Stop it,” I said, faking anger, though my cheeks betrayed me. “There you are,” Astrid said as she and Madeline joined us. “Look at you. You took everyone’s breath away as you walked in,” Madeline added,

|| Lilac’s POV ||The questions kept coming, each one more damning than the last. Kael’s face grew red, his hands clenched into fists. He was losing control, and it was clear to everyone in the room.“I think we’ve had enough questions for the day,” Alexander said, standing up and cutting through the tension. “Let’s enjoy the party.”The reporters reluctantly backed off, their attention shifting as the candidates stepped down from the stage. I turned to Elara, who was grinning like the cat that got the cream.“Like it?” she asked, her voice low and smug.“You did this?” I asked, my eyes wide with amazement.“Planted a few questions here and there,” Elara said with a shrug. “How dare he bully you at the Eclipse Ball? This was the payback.”I couldn’t help but laugh.“No one can bully my best friend,” Elara said, pulling me into a side hug.Alexander walked over to us, his arm around Madeline’s waist.“You did great

|| Third-party POV || “I said you lack manners,” Alaric replied, his tone icy. “Especially when you’re in public.” “You’re the one dancing with your brother’s fiancée,” Kael shot back, his voice rising. “And you’re talking about manners?” “I am not your fiancée!” Lilac’s voice rang out, sharp and clear, silencing the room. Her eyes burned with anger as she faced Kael. “You ended that the moment you walked out on me during our engagement ceremony. You left me alone to deal with the entire crowd while you carried your mate away.” Kael’s face flushed with anger and embarrassment. “I apologized, didn’t I? How many times do I have to apologize?” “An apology doesn’t erase what you did,” Lilac shot back, her voice trembling with frustration. “You humiliated me, and my family, Kael. You made me a laughingstock. And now you think you can just waltz back into my life like nothing happened?” "You are mine, Lilac, whether I have a mate or not, you belong with me,"
