Semua Bab LUNAR LEGACY : Bab 11 - Bab 20

“What are you talking about?” I shook my head as I stopped pacing in the middle of Darius’s room. My eyes were narrowed and focused on him. He wasn’t serious. He couldn’t be.“Aeron is a horrible person. You might not see it because he’s putting up a front, but you’ll find out soon enough. Just in case you didn’t know, I won’t be granting him permission to come into my pack again. The next time you see him, he’ll probably be dead from trying to wage war against me.”“No. That’s not… What is this all about? Just because you and your brother have some sort of difference between you that you can’t settle doesn’t mean I have to be in the middle of it,” I protested.“And when my brother is dead,” he continued as if I had said nothing, “you’ll have no other option than to complete the mate bond with me as there’s no other person. I have no intention of forging you.”“This is ridiculous. I’m not going to do anything with you. Not even if Aeron dies,” I said, wanting to mean every word but I

“Zara,” Darius called, looking more surprised than I had expected him to be about something like this. “I don’t think you understand what you’re talking about.”I chuckled without mirth. “I do know what I’m talking about, Darius. You know this is going to work. Your brother will figure out that I chose you over him, and he’ll take a step back. Maybe not for a long time, but enough for us to figure out why this is happening in the first place.”“You just got attacked. You’re not in a right place right now. You just want to take it all out on Aeron, and I understand your frustration. It’s just—”“I’m not you, Darius. I’m not here making decisions just because I’m scorned and I hope it’ll upset your brother. I want this to be over. I’m in the middle of everything, just in case you didn’t realize.”He sighed in defeat and nodded.“But just in case you still want to think about it before going any further, we can talk about it tomorrow. How’s that?”“Fine.” I shrugged, knowing that tomorro

On the first day, I didn’t think it was a big deal. After all, there had been a sighting of him.“Has he come back?” I asked the same guard as I saw him the next day. “If you know where he is, you can just tell me about it. Even if he’s out of the pack and somewhere else—”“I already told you, he went out yesterday.” This time, the guard sounded agitated. It felt like I was being a bother now. I shrank into myself in shame at how desperate I seemed.“This wouldn’t be the first time he’s gone out and hasn’t returned in days. He might even be out for up to a week,” the guard added. “I highly suggest you wait patiently.”I took his words to heart, but it didn’t exactly give me the best assurance. On the third day, I started to feel extremely uneasy. I knew the guard had told me this was normal, but it didn’t mean I could just sit and accept it. Something was wrong. I couldn’t place a finger on it.Ignoring the words of the mysterious woman I had met under the tree to stay indoors, I walk

“Thank you,” I said to the guards as they all got back up and faced forward. Aeron took my hand and led me into the pack.“Do they bow to every single guest they have at the border?” I asked Aeron, my eyes narrowed. “Maybe you orchestrated that so I would think you’re going to treat me right.”Aeron replied with a chuckle. “You really put yourself on such a high pedestal. Do you seriously see me telling my guards to bow to you and go on one knee when you finally arrive? Perhaps we had a number of rehearsals as well.”I felt heat creeping up my cheeks at the mockery. What was I thinking accusing him of doing something like that? Of course he wouldn’t.“They heard from their alpha that you’re my mate, so they’re giving you the same respect they would give me. That’s all there is to it,” he said.I nodded, refusing to look at him as shame enveloped me. “I’m sorry. I was just… I don’t exactly trust you. You walked into your brother’s pack and took me away without his permission, so you’re

After the first dinner I had with Aeron where he revealed his true feelings, I didn’t see the need to ask him anything about the rogues or his brother anymore.Darius still didn’t come. It had been three days since I was brought to the pack. Three days since the rumors began to circulate that the alpha had a new mate.“Are you Zara, the new luna?” One of the pack members asked me one afternoon as I sat under a tree to take my time and think about what I wanted to do with myself.“I wouldn’t say I’m the new luna exactly, but I am mated to the alpha,” I confirmed as she sat beside me. This was very much unlike the last encounter I had with the lady back in Darius’s pack.“I’m Penny,” she introduced. “I’ve heard so much about you, but I was a bit scared to come and see if the rumors were true. I thought you wouldn’t like anyone bothering you. You haven’t been out much.”“Well, I’m trying to get used to the place.” I shrugged. “Just so much going on, and it’s all happening so fast.”I did
