Semua Bab The Luna's Last Stand: Betrayed and Rejected: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Sofia's POV:I hurried down to where the box was and quickly dropped the remote inside. I stood in front of it, trying to act normal, my eyes fixed on the doorway as I waited to see who was coming.I squinted, trying to make out the person, but I couldn’t recognize them until they got closer."I've been looking for you everywhere," Adam said with a worried look. "One of the guards said you mentioned wanting to check around."I brushed my hair back with my fingers, forcing a small smile. "Yeah, I said that.""I didn’t know you were here until I saw Keith standing outside this house. That’s why I came in," he added, stepping closer.Panic tickled the edge of my thoughts. Did he see anything? Did he hear something? I pretended everything was fine. "Oh, I just came out for some fresh air. I was bored inside," I lied casually.Adam looked around, his eyes scanning the place. He spotted a chair and sat down heavily, his body sinking into it like he hadn’t rested in days. He looked tired… bu

Sofia’s POV"Whaaat! How do you expect me to fight him?" I asked, staring at the huge, tall man walking into the training room.He stopped right in front of me. I didn’t understand why, but fear crept up my spine. Without even realizing it, the stick in my hand slipped to the floor."The fight hasn’t even begun, and you're already giving up," Adam said from the side.Sometimes, I truly disliked him. He just knew how to say things that got to me. I quickly picked the stick back up—not because I was ready to face that mountain of a man—but because of what Adam said."Do I look scared to you? Why should I give in?" I asked boldly.Adam introduced the man as "Big Monster." The name made sense. The man smiled at me, and I smirked right back. Like I cared who he was."Let the fight begin," Adam said, stepping aside to watch.Big Monster faced me, ready to fight. At first, I was terrified, but I forced myself to stand my ground."Bring it on," I said, trying to sound brave.In reality, my he

Sofia’s POV"Welcome to my place. What have I done to deserve this great visit?" Lucas said as he welcomed them warmly.I could see the curiosity written all over the faces of those around."Who is he here for?" they whispered, eyes narrowing as we approached."Welcome, the King of Kings," Lucas said with respect.Adam stepped forward, smiling as he declared, "I’m here to see my wife."He pointed in my direction.I smiled softly and looked him straight in the eyes. The moment our eyes met, his smile deepened."Your wife?" Lucas echoed, clearly confused. His eyes flicked between Adam and the crowd, trying to figure out who Adam was referring to."I guess she came here to say hi to her family," Adam added casually as he reached me and wrapped his arms around my neck. His voice turned low and affectionate. "I’m sorry I’ve been busy outside."The gesture stunned everyone. Gasps floated through the room."That’s Sofia," one of the elders said, pointing at me."That’s not possible," another

Sofia’s POV:"You should have gone to the palace. Why did you have to come here?" Nightshade said, angry."Please help me. The king wouldn’t do anything," she explained. She’d been to the palace before coming here, but the king wasn’t helping.According to her, the queen was the one in control, and anyone who spoke out against her would be silenced.“She ran to our side for help, and we should do everything we can to find her child,” Adam said.It took a while before we were able to calm her down and send her back to her house."What do we do next?" Nightshade asked.Just then, one of the spies came in and placed some papers on the table. What we found was shocking."There seems to be a connection between Bata and the Luna. Many people are working for them—including the palace guards," Adam said.Later that night, I was determined to get to the bottom of things. But for now, I just wanted to sleep. "We will continue tomorrow," I said.In the midst of darkness, there was a light. As I

Author’s POVSofia was overwhelmed with relief. Nightshade had come—just like she knew he would. There he was, bold and strong, ready to save her.A guard charged at him, swinging his weapon, but Nightshade dodged it effortlessly and turned to face the threat head-on.Within moments, the guard was lying lifeless—discarded like an unwanted dog. Blood stained the ground.Nightshade rushed to Sofia and lifted her onto his back. That was the last thing she could remember before everything faded.When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on a long wooden chair outside her home.“What happened? How did I get here? Nightshade, are you hurt?” she asked in a rush, her mind spinning with questions.Before he could answer, a lady stepped out with a bowl of water. “You’re tired. You need to rest. My name is Keith,” she said gently, like she belonged there.Sofia didn’t like that. She didn’t like the woman’s presence, didn’t like how comfortable she looked. And worst of all—she was wearing Sof
