All Chapters of The Rogue Luna's Curse : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Xavier was released from the hospital a few days after the lashing. Ever since we told him about Stacy's death, his mood has changed. He’s either been locked in his office or holed up in his room. He barely talks to anyone—except me—and even that isn’t often.I know Xavier blames himself for Stacy’s death. Her last moments and his final words to her seem to haunt him. He may not have truly loved her, but she was still marked as his, and that bond—however small—had existed. Now it’s gone, and it's taken a toll on him."Xavier?" I asked softly from the bed. He was sitting at the foot, helping Rosalina sit up to play.He wasn’t wearing a shirt—it hurt too much to stretch one over his bandaged back—so he walked around bare-chested, his wounds still healing."Huh?" he mumbled without looking up. Rosalina smacked his arm playfully as he held her steady.I crawled toward them, resting at the edge of the bed so I could watch my two favorite people interact."Are you still upset?" I asked quie

Xavier was unusually quiet during our walk. Normally, he’d take Rosy from me the moment we started moving—but this time, he didn’t.“He hates me,” he said firmly.Honestly, that wasn’t a surprise. Stacy hadn’t told anyone about finding her mate because she wanted to be with Xavier. I knew Trevor must’ve been insanely jealous.“That’s not exactly shocking.”“No, but he started talking about Daniel… and how I failed as a brother,” he growled, his voice low and threatening.I looked up at him in surprise—and pain. That was a low blow from Trevor. Xavier never asked for Stacy to fall for him, just like I never asked for Daniel to die.Xavier suddenly stopped walking and turned to me with an emotion I wasn’t used to seeing in his eyes.Jealousy.“It’s bad enough I only get glimpses of what goes through your mind,” he said tightly, “but knowing that Daniel still lingers in your thoughts drives me insane.”His jaw clenched, and I could feel his frustration burning beneath the surface.“You c

"Mrs. Rose Marie, where are we going?" I asked as we drove farther and farther into the forest.We had been driving for about an hour now, and there was still no word from Xavier or his grandfather.“Please, Anais, call me Rosy—or Nana Rosy,” she smiled from the front seat. “There’s a cabin we used to take Daniel and Xavier to whenever we visited. They used to play by the lake and run around the cabin like little wolves.”I stayed quiet as we passed endless trees, no sign of civilization anywhere."Anais, what was going on at the restaurant? You and Xavier seemed a little… distant," she asked gently.“I sort of upset him,” I admitted quietly.“He still feels like he’s in Daniel’s shadow?” she asked knowingly.“How did you—?”“Watching the boys grow up, it was obvious. Xavier was constantly compared to Daniel. That’s the hard part about being a twin. Daniel’s personality always outshined Xavier’s, and he hated being seen as the ‘lesser one.’ When he found out Daniel was chosen to be Al

I felt someone shaking me. I slowly opened my eyes to find myself in Xavier’s arms. Relief washed over his face when he saw I was awake. His concern shifted to tenderness as he leaned into my touch when I cupped his cheek.“I’m sorry for the pain I caused you,” he whispered, lowering his head to gently kiss my forehead.I glanced around and realized we were back at the pack house—in Xavier’s room. But Rosalina wasn’t in sight. Panic started to rise in my chest.“Rosalina’s with my grandparents, don’t worry,” he said, sensing my anxiety.“What happened?” I asked, my eyes catching the wound on the side of his face. It looked fresh, like how it had been a few days ago.“Gabriel and his followers attacked us. I’m not sure if it was a coincidence or if someone tipped him off that we were gone, but he struck. I had to shift to protect Raven—that’s why you felt pain through the bond. He’s locked in the dungeons now. I’ll let you decide what to do with him.”“I don’t want to think about him r

Dozens of stars zoomed past as Xavier drove us toward our unknown destination. We held hands, and he gently rubbed circles on the back of mine with his thumb—calming me with his touch.The butterflies in my stomach were fluttering wildly. My heart was pounding in my chest, threatening to burst.“Oh my gosh, Xavier—where are we going?” I asked excitedly.He glanced at me and chuckled.“Patience, love. We’re almost there.” He flashed a teasing grin.Finally, we pulled up to a building with a glowing sign that read Rooftop. Xavier quickly hopped out, walked around the car, and opened my door with a gentlemanly hand extended. I blushed and smiled at his sweetness.We walked inside and approached the hostess. When she saw us, her face lit up.“Hello, Xavier. You’re right on time. You know where to go.” She winked.I felt a small surge of jealousy rise up as Xavier gently led me toward the elevator.He must’ve noticed, because as the elevator doors closed, he chuckled.“What’s so funny?” I
