Semua Bab LUNAR LEGACY : Bab 131 - Bab 140

“Just because you didn’t see soldiers at the borders, it didn’t give you the permission to walk into my pack without my consent,” Darius told the soldiers as they stopped walking in front of us.From my observation of their stance and body language, I could tell that they weren’t here to start a fight. But it did seem as though they knew that we had something to do with the death of their alpha.I hated how it just now dawned on me that I hadn’t just killed any man. I had killed the alpha of a pack, and the consequences of that was even worse than if I had killed just anyone.“Yes, but we’re not foolish children either. Did you expect us to stand at your borders for hours like idiots, looking on until you sensed that we were there and would appear out of nowhere?” The first soldier said, cocking his head and giving Darius a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.“What are you doing here then?” Darius asked, and I could sense his eagerness to get things over with so he could return to what

“What?” I asked, but my voice wasn’t even close to being heard. Not even by Darius, who was standing right beside me. I had lost all control of myself. I wasn’t even sure that I was there anymore. Maybe this was all a horrible dream that I was starting to get more and more aware of.To make matters worse, Deirdre climbed the platform and people were clapping without the slightest hint of shock. They really had chosen her to be their alpha.“This is ridiculous!” Darius spoke up, and one by one, people started to turn to us.There were frowns on their faces when they realized it was me and Darius. It was as if we weren’t wanted there, but Deirdre had been the one to personally invite us so we would witness the beginning of our potential downfall.“And how is this ridiculous? Do tell,” one of the pack members said to him as if daring him to speak even more.“She’s a human. Humans do not rule over werewolves. In what world does that even happen? I can’t believe you all voted for her to be

Darius and I burst into the bedroom, where Irene sat with tears in her eyes as she spoke to the pack doctor.“Give her a moment,” the pack doctor said to us as he put his hands out and urged us to stay put. “She doesn’t need more pressure right now. Irene, are you ready to tell us whatever you recall from the last time you were awake and conscious?”Irene made eye contact with me, and it seemed as if that triggered some sort of emotion within her. Regret maybe?“I’m so very sorry, Luna. I didn’t know…I don’t even know what happened. The last thing I can remember is me carrying him in my arms and trying to play with him. And then, I don’t know what happened after that.”I raised my brows at her as I waited for her to remember something. It was almost as if I was waiting for some sort of click. For her face to light up and her to say she remembered who it was, but it never came. She only put her face in her palms and cried.“Darius?” I called out to him, turning around to see him alread

In the midst of all the worry and the search for Aaron, I hadn’t thought about the witches. And why should I have? I hadn’t made contact with them in a while.But the more I thought about it after Darius suggested we talk to them, the more I believed it was possible for them to have taken Aaron. After all, it was all tied to how Janet, their leader, had died. And I would be naïve to believe that they had completely forgiven me for the death of Janet.“Let’s go meet the witches,” I said to Darius, realizing just how empty I sounded.“We’ll find him, Zara. I promise,” Darius assured me, but the last thing I felt at the moment was hope.“Don’t promise things you’re not sure of, Darius. It’s only going to breed animosity if we don’t find him,” I told him as we walked back toward the woods.But as we got closer to George’s house, I stopped at the first house on the street and turned to Darius as I said, “Since we’re here, why don’t we just check the house just in case?”I could see the urg

“Darius, please talk to her. I don’t think I can do this anymore.” I turned around, leaving everything to Darius.Sarah had just threatened that Aaron would be in danger and looking at her any more would have me even more eager to hurt her.“Hey,” Darius said to her as he stepped in front of her, blocking her out of my view. “You know where he is. And we’ve already established that. Now, would you like a child who isn’t even a year old to suffer for what you believe his mother did?”Sarah was silent, but I could feel her glare and the hate in her even from where I stood.“His mother is right in front of you now. If you have anything to hash out, why don’t you do it now? If you have anything you would like to sort out, maybe now is the perfect time to do it. Wouldn’t it be better to hash it out with her rather than punishing her child?”“Would it really be that much better?” She asked, cocking her head. “She punished my family. My brother is dead now because of what she believes Gray d
