The Luna's Destined Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Serena's POVI shake my head in denial. I remember him saying that I was his mate but I chose to ignore it, I chose to store it in the furthest recesses of my consciousness and act like I never heard those words because it was impossible."No I'm not," I respond with a blank expression on my face. Nicholae, stares at me, exasperated. "Of course you are, I don't know why you are denying it but you are my mate, we both know that."I shake my head in refusal. "No I'm not. It's impossible. I can't have a mate." "What do you mean you can't have a mate. I'm standing right here in front of you." He says, with a hint of annoyance."No, no, you don't understand. I can't have a mate because I already had a mate."The look of disbelief on his face widens into a smile. "Do you mean you remember? I know I look a bit different since the past five centuries but don't you think it's a stretch that you don't recognize me? I-"The bewildered look on my face stops him short. "I'm not talking about y

Serena's POV "What did you just say about escaping?" Raven asks.My heart leaps in my throat as sweat breaks out on my brow. "Um, nothing. I was just saying that this place is the perfect escape." I reply, my voice shaky with nervousness."Oh, yes it really is. But be careful okay, like I said don't go anywhere alone for now, it's very dangerous to do so." A sigh of relief passes my lips. I almost thought I had been caught. "I- I won't promise. It's not like I have anywhere to go." I say, trying to assure her further. She stares deep into my eyes like she's searching from something. She breaks her gaze, seeming to be satisfied what she see there. "Alright, I'll leave you to yourself. Although some of your wounds are closed, you still have some internal bleeding. Please make sure you rest.The healer will come see you tomorrow." She inclines her head in a small bow, turns on her heel and strides out the door. I don't leave the balcony but gaze instead at the crescent moon in the

Serena's POV"Where do you think you are going?" A deep baritone drawls out from the shadows.A cold sweat breaks out all over me. Have I been discovered? I barely took one step towards my freedom and now, this could be the end of it.I freeze on the spot, trying to calm my rapidly beating heart. I can't give off an inclination that I am nervous. Any half decent shifter would be able to smell it on me but it's no use, my heart thumps in tune with each crunch of feet on gravel. “I said, where do you think you are going?” The voice questions once more. Panic courses through my entire being. No. I can't mess this up. Digging my nails into my palms, I use the pain to center my thoughts.I just need to think through this logically. No one other than Raven has actually seen me up close so all I need to do is find a way to escape his suspicion. “Um what? Who’s there?” I summon courage to question shakily.“Did I stutter? Answer the question.” Although the voice sounds languid, the unmis

Nicholae's POV “Progress report.” The scout I sent stands at attention at the doorway.“At ease solider.” I wave him in hurriedly.“What do you have to report?” I am bent over the map of the Black Moon Pack territory spread out on the table with four of my captains in the hotel room of a nearby town a few miles from the pack.“As we suspected, they are trafficking in shifters. A large number of young female shifters came in last night. I suspect some of them were brought in from other countries.” At his words the entire room goes silent.He continues, “the captives are sold to mostly the fae and vampires. Most of those who are captured seem to have special abilities.” That would explain why the border seemed so unguarded when we came the last time. Amongst shifters, the greatest gift that one could have is freedom. Although due to the nature of various castes, there are always problems of equality but it is considered almost taboo to deprive a shifter if their freedom.There's some

Daphne's POV "Serena!" He roars. I am shocked. This is the first time he has called me by my name. This can't be real. I put my head back down. Did I want to be rescued so much that I imagined him? Am I imagining things? He lets out a strangled sound deep in his throat that causes me to lift my head up again. He is chest is rising and falling rapidly. “Where are you?!” He roars. His eyes dart around the room until they land on me. He lets out another strangled, tortured sound, taking in the bruises on my body and my twisted ankle. I can't tell whether he is the one in control or Orion. The torch he is holding in his hands lights up the room, putting his face in harsh lines as the shadows dance across them. “What have they done?” He whispers. Something untamed passes through his eyes. His face is set in a harsh line With the torch still in hand, he picks me up with one hand and cradles me too his chest, holding me tightly like I could disappear at any moment. In that moment,
