ONCE FORSAKEN, NOW THE LYCAN KING’S LUNA のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

DANE'S POV Charging into the room, my gaze rested on Sofia. She stood panting, beads of sweats cascading down her face.My brows creased as I moved forward. The fright on her face, I recognized it.“Are you alright?” I asked, worried. I pulled her into me, trying to calm her down.“Someone.. someone tried to attack me in the dream.” The words were faded, almost choked by her tears.“Attack you? Who's this person? Did you get to see whose face it was?” I inquired, trying to wrap my fingers around all that happened..She shook her head vehemently. “No, I didn't. The person had a kind of mask that made it impossible to see the face, but I'm certain it's a woman.”“A woman? How can you be so sure?” The words jumped out of my mouth. I was curious, unable to take my eyes off her.Worse was hearing those last words from her.“I'm sure it's a woman. The way she struggled with me was exactly the way a woman would.”I exhaled. A mirage of thoughts crossed through my mind and there was only one

SOFIA'S POV “Hello sisterrr..” a rather loud shriek. I was totally unused to it.I managed a smile. That was the best I could give. Apparently, that best wasn't enough.She jumped into my arms, locking me in a warm embrace. It felt so cringe.. so uncomfortable.I withdrew almost immediately, a sigh of relief escaping from my lips. “I didn't expect you both would be back so soon.”“Really? We didn't plan to stay long though. What's the occasion? You seem overly excited.“Nothing. I'm only excited.”“What's the source of this excitement of yours?” Dane was curious, his brows creasing.“I'm excited to meet your new fiancee.”“Oh. Didn't I see the both of you chatting earlier today?”Selene nodded, smiling. “We were just getting into our conversation when you suddenly showed up.”She turned towards me. “If you don't mind,can I kidnap you for a short while?”Dane shrugged. “Well, you'll need to speak to her first.” He walked off before I could utter a word.I didn't have a choice, did I?

SOFIA'S POV The wedding plans were in full gear. Me and Selene had that to worry about.The council members had remained quiet since Dane had one of them locked up already. I was sure there wasn't going to be any protest from any of them anymore.The weight of the planning was heavy and soon began to take a toil on me. Dane was a Lycan king, and this means that we had to plan for a lot of people.Accommodations for other Alphas', and those who would be accompanying them. Then even his business partners. Oh my — I wasn't sure it was ever going to end.I was exhausted already and couldn't wait for the day to come by. A long sigh escaped from my lips as I sank heavily into the chair behind me.“You must be pretty exhausted,” Selene chipped in, grabbing a chair for herself. I nodded my head in response, too weak to speak.“By the way, The designer should be here with the dress any minute from now.”I nodded, a bit excited. “I only hope he has done a good job with the dress. There isn't

DANE'S POVI sat on my chair in the study, my gaze fixed on the book before me. I was to be married the next day.I wasn't excited about it though. When you've been married five times already, then there's nothing that would excite you about a sixth marriage.All I had was hope. Hope that Sofia would be better than the others, and I wouldn't have to have a seventh marriage.The lords of the council would never agree to this. I exhaled, exhausted.My hands tapped softly against the table as my thoughts slowly drifted. “Hello sir!!” Someone charged in abruptly. It was sudden, taking me off guard.“What is it? How dare you barge into my study?” I snapped, my eyes almost popping from their sockets.He recoiled, his hands by his side. “I'm sorry, your Grace.” Then he paused. His countenance was soft. Spoke words his mouth didn't.“What is It? Speak!!”“She has begun.”I jumped to my feet, mad. “How did she manage to leave her room?” I was completely infuriated. My hands tightened into fis

SOFIA'S POV I charged out of the study, panting. My boobs jumped around as I raced off. It didn't make much difference that it was being held in my gown.That voice from the storage. No doubt, it was Dane. I turned the doorknob, and there he stood, nursing his foot. He had crashed against a barrel in there.“Are you alright?” I asked, worried. He glared at me, pissed. “Do I look over to you?” He clutched his legs as he sat still. I helped him at once, gently massaging the leg.Minutes ago, he was strong enough to stand on his own feet. I still helped him, gently placing his weight on my shoulders.The image that I had seen in his office, I just couldn't keep quiet about it. I swallowed hard, my eyes flickering incessantly.“Dane!” My voice was barely above a whisper as I called. He stared at me, a grunt for a response.“I went into your office just now, and I noticed an image of myself. Surprisingly, it wasn't a picture taken today. It was quite Old, and the man in it wasn't you.”H
