All Chapters of The Rogue Luna's Curse : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

I woke up to the sound of Rosalina’s squeals.Immediately, I rushed out of bed to the side of the crib.“What do you want, you little troublemaker?” I asked playfully.She looked up at me with a confused expression.“Is Mama’s girl ready for food?” I cooed, picking her up and tossing her gently into the air. She gave me a toothless grin as I spun her around lightly.I sat on the bed with her in my lap and started undoing my shirt. I held her close as she latched on, humming a soft lullaby while stroking the back of her tiny head.“You’re a beautiful mother, you know that, right?” a husky voice called from the door.I jumped slightly, startled to see Xavier standing there. He was wearing a plain white shirt and dark blue jeans, yet somehow he still looked irresistible.“What the hell, Xavier? How long have you been standing there?” I asked quietly, not wanting to disturb Rose.“Ever since you woke up,” he replied. “I came in earlier to check on you while you were sleeping. You know you

"You guys did what?" Raven asked in astonishment.I had decided to visit her with Rosalina, since she’d been asking to see me. She was currently holding Rosalina and playing with her while I told her what had happened earlier."So he just left?" she asked, blinking in disbelief."Well... he said, ‘They say the ones you love the most, you hurt the worst’—and then he just walked out," I said.I was still confused by Xavier’s words and actions, but they resonated deeply. They meant something to me, even if I wasn’t sure what yet.“Damn... I want your mate,” Raven muttered under her breath."Speaking of mates—have you talked to Chris?" I asked, narrowing my eyes."Does yelling at him and calling him a f*cking idiot count as talking?""No. Why would that even be a question?""Then no, I haven’t talked to him," she said coldly."Raven, why are you being so immature?" I asked impatiently."Yup, that’s me," she snapped, throwing her hands in the air. "Raven, the immature little sh*thead who w

I couldn’t describe the feeling I was having—it made me sick to my stomach. Only Xavier's presence managed to calm me, even if just temporarily. I rested my head on his shoulder as we held hands in the car.Alpha Roman had stayed true to his word and requested a trial with the Elders. If I refused to go, I would be executed in front of the entire pack. If I were to die, I wouldn’t want it to be in front of everyone I once called my friends.Technically, this was a pre-trial. The real trials usually took place inside the sacred grounds of the Moon Goddess. Alphas, Lunas, Betas, and Deltas who failed pre-trials had their souls released there, so they could find the Moon Goddess quickly.Everything about it made me tense. I couldn’t stop thinking. Xavier groaned and adjusted our position so I was sitting upright.“Anais, please relax. Your anxiety is leaking through the bond, and now I feel it too. There’s nothing for you to worry about,” he murmured. He kissed my forehead and rested his

“Reports state that Daniel’s body was mainly covered in gashes and stab wounds, although no weapon was discovered at the scene,” Council Member Blaze read aloud. “But there are still several inconsistencies in Miss Blackwood’s story. Her account does not align with the documents and facts, so—”“I loved Daniel with all my heart! I would never lay a finger on him, even if he did cheat on me!” I shouted, cutting him off.I immediately covered my mouth with my hand. I had never admitted that out loud—not to anyone. I had tried to bury that memory deep, telling myself it was a mistake, a misunderstanding. I had convinced myself that all boys made poor choices sometimes. I guess I was wrong.The council members exchanged glances, then looked down at Alpha Roman and Xavier.“Did either of you know about this?” Council Member Blaze asked.Both Alphas shook their heads. I noticed Xavier begin to shake beside me—his rage rising. I knew he was fighting the urge to lose control.“Well, this cert

“The closer you are, and the longer you stay, the more our connection grows. Until I mate with you and mark you… then we’ll be complete,” he said softly.“But what about you? You don’t deserve the lashes either,” I pointed out.He shrugged. “Just consider it payback—for all the emotional abuse I put you through, and the consequences of my rejection.”I shook my head and opened my mouth to argue, but Xavier silenced me with a kiss—gentle, brief, but filled with emotion. When he pulled away, his eyes searched mine with quiet intensity.“What’s done is done, Anais. We can’t change that,” he whispered.“Xavier… you don’t have to do this to prove your love. I already believe you,” I said, blinking back tears. I refused to let them fall. I’d cried enough.He sighed deeply. “Don’t think of me as your mate right now. Think of me as a man who claims to love you—but who’s hurt you before. I keep saying I love you, that I care about you, but words... they’re just that. Words.”His voice dropped.
