Semua Bab The Alpha's Unworthy Luna : Bab 41 - Bab 48

ELENA'S POV,The air felt suffocating as I walked down the long corridor of the Lunar Palace. Every step I took echoed in my ears, as if the sound was bouncing off the high, marble walls. I could feel my nerves tightening with each stride, but I kept my head high and looked forward confidently. Ryan was walking beside me, and his presence was giving me the strength I needed at that moment. I was terrified when I got the letter summoning me to the Palace, before the Wolf Committee. Ryan calmed me down and helped me practice how I should present myself in front of the Committee. As we turned a corridor I noticed that his hands were shoved deep in his pockets, and his jaw was clenched. I know what was going through his head, and how much he disagreed with the laws of the nation. However, he was powerless in the situation, and the best he could do was support me from the sidelines. “Remember, you’re strong, and even if I'm not allowed to speak, to defend you, to shield you from whateve

RYAN'S POV,I watched her from a distance, feeling proud of the growth she had shown over the last few weeks.My feelings for her weren't out of pity; they were true and meaningful. Elena neither deserved my pity nor did she need it. What she needed was love, support, and someone who wouldn’t look away when the truth got uncomfortable.Julian was exactly that person. He was trying to hide what happened with their daughter, and I could see the pain it was causing Elena. She was in disbelief when he tried to downplay Molly's death, and that made me a little jealous. Because the look of disbelief meant she still had hopes for him, and hope often leads back to reconnection.’He is not worthy of your love, time, hopes, or thoughts,’ I mumbled to myself when tears rolled down her face. ’I will take care of you, Elena, as long as I live.’She stood in the center of the small council, like a burning flame that refused to die out. She spoke of her pain without flinching, of her loss without be

ELENA’S POV,I couldn’t look at Julian.How could anyone look at him, knowing the things he said? How can he say such things without a second thought? Did Molly mean nothing to him more than a name holder? Did he ever love our daughter the way I loved her? Was any of the care and love he showed towards her real?I was disgusted by him, and cursed myself for giving him a second chance, even when my heart was telling me not to, from the very beginning. I was an idiot for believing that seeing Molly's grave could change him. I hated myself for having that hope somewhere deep in my heart.I forgot that humans have the ability to change and do better, but not monsters like him. If he ever loved our daughter, those words wouldn't have come out of his mouth, even when he was grieving. No parent in their right mind can speak like that.“How could you say that?” I demanded, through my trembling lips. “How can you even think that?”I screamed the last question, taking two steps towards him, an

ELENA'S POV,“Lucy is Julian’s daughter,” she declared, intending to hurt me, and sadly, it worked just like she wanted.I felt betrayed because I had been truthful with my feelings for him. I never cheated on him when we were together, didn't even think about any other man. Even when he was absent, I still loved him faithfully. I let myself have feelings towards Ryan only after serving Julian the divorce papers. And even then we didn't share any intimate moments together.“I wanted to tell you for so long, but Julian feared it wouldn't be good for his reputation,” she said and if it wasn't for Ryan standing next to me, I would have returned to Molly's grave to slap Julian again. “He promised to love her the same way he loved Molly. And he did. He played with her, read her stories, and even stayed with her in the hospital when she fell ill.”The world beneath my foot tilted and I found myself looking for balance. Thankfully, Ryan was behind me and took me in his arms before my knees c
