Forbidden Love: The Alpha Rejected Luna Second Chance のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

Darius's POVThe study door banged closed behind Malik hard enough to make the bottles on my desk rattle. I didn't care. I would like to know about this palace. That I had missed letting them all know, that another Alpha was swooping to circle my mate as if she were a weak animal about to be taken down.“You need to go,” I said, barely containing my wolf. He scratched me up inside and out, ordering me to move and rip this competition apart. "Now."Malik was bold enough to smile. With a nonchalant confidence, he moved to the center of the room, his silver hair glinting in the lamp light. “Are you giving the orders, Alpha Darius? Last time I looked, we are equals. And you don’t own Lily to order suitors away.”"She's my mate." It was growling as the words came out."A mate you rejected." his green eyes dared. “A comrade you allowed to be tortured in your dungeons. And what is your true claim to her?”I balled my hands into fists on the desk, claws even threatening to pierce through it

Darius's POVAlong with the upturned furniture and broken glass, I gazed down at my bloody hands. The arms and legs I broke fighting Lily would be mended in hours. The kiss on her neck–the one I'd besotted upon her--would stay there forever.What had I done?That scream still haunted my dreams, a sound of rape and treachery that I would never be able to forget. I had become the monster I had promised to shield her from—someone who forced himself onto her without whether she was willing."Alpha." Marcus spoke from the door, sounding disillusioned. "We need to talk."I didn't turn around. "Say what you came to say.""What you did was unforgivable." His words were precise, cutting. “The mating mark taboo is one of the worst offenses in our society. You know this.""I know." The confession burned my throat as it came out."Do you?" Marcus entered the room, stepping on broken glass. “Because from where I’m standing, all you’ve done is prove Lily wise not to trust you. You said you were dif

Selene's POVThe dungeon guard's features were slack with greed as he pocketed the gold coins I had managed to smuggle to him over the past week. It had taken an intricate amount of planning, bribing and promising that I never intended to keep but here it was the opening of the cell door."You got twenty minutes til shift change," he whispered, glancing nervously down the corridor. “After that, you’re on your own.”"That's all I need." I edged around him and moved off into the blackness of he tunnels below.Freedom smelled of stale air and despair, but it was better than fucking lingering there in my cell. Rather than sitting around letting Darius decide my fate. Better than the thought that it was left to rot by a serving girl who should have died years past.Lily. The name sizzled like acid in my mind. She was my mate, and she had stolen from me — not only my position, but also my future. She was the one who'd always outlived every effort I mounted to destroy her, coming back strong

Lily's POVI was brought out of my debate with myself when a knock sounded at the door. I slid on a robe before unbolting the door, only to be greeted by two servants holding breakfast trays.“Good morning, Luna,” said the older one, a woman who had served beside me in the kitchens for years. "We brought your morning meal."The title felt strange. I had been their colleague only yesterday, chasing pots and dragging water. Today I was Luna, and they spoke to me with the same respect they showed Selene."Thank you, Martha." I moved out of the way to let them in. “And you know what, please just continue to call me Lily. We don’t need to be that proper about it, we’ve known each other too long.”"That wouldn't be proper, Luna." But Martha smiled slightly. “Although I’ll tell you, if we were going to have a Luna, I’m glad it was you. Somebody that understands what it's like to work hard and have somebody give respect rather than demand respect.”I poked at the breakfast blob and egg spread

Lily's POV“Much,” answered Marcus, throwing me a tunic. "Much better. You're picking it up quicker than any wolf I ever trained.”I yanked the fabric over my head, unable to contain the small smile that pulled at my lips. "I had a good teacher."“You had some raw potential.” He circled me with an appraising eye. "I just helped you unlock it. The strength was always there; it just got buried under years of believing you were weak.”"Again," Marcus commanded. “Then tilt and hold for 10 minutes.”I clamped my eyes shut, seeking out that place inside where the wolf was there. She answered in a rush, hungry and sharp, driving forward again as bones reconfigured themselves and hairs rushed to the surface of my skin. The shift that had once felt like being torn away now felt like coming home.With my eyes open, the world seemed to focus in sharper relief — colors more vivid, scents more intense, sounds clearer. My wolf purred in satisfaction, pacing around as Marcus smiled his approval."Ex
