All Chapters of Ashina-The Awakening of the Luna: Chapter 141 - Chapter 149

ALPHA BORIS’ POVI was mid-swing with my blade, locked in a fierce sparring session with one of the guards, sweat glistening on my skin under the morning sun.The clang of steel rang out across the courtyard, our movements precise. I needed this—something to channel my fury into, something physical to anchor me while Ashina remained trapped behind palace walls.With every strike, every pivot of my feet, I imagined the walls breaking down, imagined pulling her into my arms and shielding her from every whisper, every leash they tried to place around her. My wolf snarled beneath the surface, eager for action and vengeance. But we were waiting. Planning.Until now.A hurried messenger rushed into the courtyard, his steps uncoordinated, face pale beneath the weight of whatever news he carried.“Alpha Boris!” he called out, breathless.I lowered my blade, brows furrowed. The guard I had been sparring with instinctively took a step back. At that very moment, my instincts pricked. Something w

ASHINA’S POVThe envelope was sealed with wax, stamped with the crest of the royal house, but the handwriting scrawled across it was unmistakably his.Boris.My breath caught in my throat before I even touched it. Something in the air shifted, heavy and raw, as if his scent lingered within the very folds of the parchment. Wolf musk mixed with pine and something else that once made my chest flutter. But now?Now it felt like a spear of memory lodged between my ribs.I reached for it slowly, as if touching it would make it more real. The scent intensified the moment my fingers brushed the seal. Familiar, intimate, yet agonising. My pulse quickened. I hadn’t heard from him in days, since I had pushed him away.And now this.With a trembling hand, I cracked the seal and unfolded the letter. Each crease opened like a wound.“Dear Ashina,I hope you're not still in a sour mood. I heard about your departure from the palace after your… conversation with the Queen.All I want to know—need to k

ESTHER’S POVAfter I finished speaking with the Queen, I could not deny the lingering sense of disappointment since the conversation had not turned out exactly the way I had envisioned.Still, a powerful sense of relief and even happiness settled over me. Up to this day, every promise she had made to me had been fulfilled without fail. She understood perfectly well that I was privy to countless of her well-buried secrets — the kind of secrets that could ruin her entirely if they ever saw the light.I had never needed to threaten or blackmail her outright; instead, I had been careful and clever, playing my part so subtly that whenever I made a request, she would grant it without hesitation.In truth, the Queen was a dangerous and formidable woman, but she was also astute enough to protect and reward those allies who served her well.Since she was surrounded by countless rivals and traitors, there were very few people she genuinely trusted, and I was one of those rare few. For that reas

ASHINA’S POVA messenger arrived stealthily to hand over a paper with some scribblings.“A message from Alpha Boris,” he said.I could not see his face as he was wearing a mask, yet something felt awkward. But then, perhaps Boris wanted the message to be conveyed to me secretly.“Could he not have mind linked me or come himself?” I asked.The guy shrugged.“Alright, you can leave!”He sped away like a chicken in the courtyard.I could not believe that Boris would employ such cowards and make him even wear a mask to deliver a message. Oh, yeah! He was scared of his dear father, wasn’t he?“Meet me at the deserted place behind the forest tonight at 10 PM.”The message was typed instead of handwritten on the scroll! So unusual of Boris.‘If this is a joke, Boris…’***The sky had started to turn an eerie shade of violet as I reached the old ruins where Boris had told me to meet him.The wind whispered through the twisted trees, swishing dry leaves like secrets being passed from ghost to
