The Rising Luna and her Alpha mates のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Chapter 22Amber’s POVMy blood was pumping, the sound pounding in my ears. He looked different from the night I saw him at the festival. Here in his own pack, he seemed more… relaxed, if a bit enraged.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” His voice was a low growl. But he was a Beta, he didn’t need to shout for his power to send chills around the room. “What no one else in this palace has the sense to do,” I hissed, balling my hands into fists. “What did you think? Huh?”I took a step forward, my anger burning hotter at his unbothered expression. “That you click your hands and Mina would come running?! She’s not a pet or a freaking bunny but a person! My person!” I paused, breathing heavily as I tried to calm down. “Mina will not be marrying you tomorrow,”The entire room was silent save for the sounds of breathing. I could have dropped a needle and heard it bounce with how thick the silence was.Beta Damon stared at me. His face was still unbothered but a vein ticked at the si

Chapter 24Amber’s Pov“...it’s the beta’s wedding,” Her words hit me like a bucket of ice cold water. My knees suddenly felt weak.Wedding?!I pressed a hand to my forehead, gasping in disbelief. That cunning bastard!“Miss? Ma’am, are you alright?” The maid seemed worried but I had no words for her.I was in too much shock to speak. My body was hot, flushed as I turned from her back to my room. My entire frame shook with anger. He tricked me! He twisted his words!“Alright. I agree. The wedding will not be held tomorrow night,”So he held it tonight instead. I had no idea what to do. My mind was racing, anger and confusion clouding my thoughts. Was busting into the party hall a good idea?! But she was already married.The maid said they held the mating ceremony earlier. I suddenly felt faint. Mina was married. She got married to a man she barely knows while I was fast asleep.“Okay, Amber, calm down. You’re spiraling,” Vera’s firm voice filled me. “You can’t go marching into the h

Chapter 26Amber’s POV“I’ll be hosting him here as a guest…” Lady Guinevere’s voice continued to ring in my head, long after I walked out of the breakfast hall.She’d be hosting him as a guest? Like it was nothing. She was bringing the very person I ran away from to confront me.Could she even do that?!“Clearly she has some sort of power in this pack, cause neither of the Alphas said anything,” Vera sighed.She too was panicking. What if father commanded me to come back with him to the pack? I haven’t done my two weeks training yet so I’m technically still part of Black Moonlight. His Alpha command would work on me.I pushed my hair back from my face, my stomach knotted in anxiety. Mina.I had to find Mina and tell her.The only problem was I had no idea where she was. I left the breakfast room a while ago after Lady Gwen dropped her no news and no one made a move to stop her. It was quite impossible to stomach any food after that.“Um, excuse me,” I tried to stop one of the court l

Chapter 28Amber’s POVMy hands clutched the cotton dress I had been packing. The smooth material did nothing to calm the turmoil on my insides as I gasped for breath.I vaguely registered Mina’s alarm as she shot off the bed, looking from me to Alpha Tristan tearfully. Her cheeks still glinted with tears but her eyes were dry, our previous conversation forgotten as she questioned him.“Her father?! You mean Alpha Logan?! What the hell is he doing here!”Vera growled angrily but I was tired. So tired. It started as a small spot. I dropped the dress I had been packing and slowly stood to my feet as the spot of numbness spread through my limbs.All my anger, fear, and surprise at Mina’s pregnancy, I pushed it behind. Pressed a lid on it as I walked towards the mouth of the room where Alpha Tristan stood explaining the invitation to Mina.“How long has he been here?” My voice sounded strange, even to me.Their conversation ceased and both their eyes snapped to me immediately.Concern fla

Chapter 30SILVER MOON PACK PALACE.The afternoon sun was high and bright in the sky. Mina hung in the shadows, squeezed between two towering pillars at the mouth of the palace entrance. A sweat bead rolled down her temple and she squinted her eyes, watching the procession at the front of the palace. Amber’s father, Alpha Logan; Amber’s mate, Lucas; Gwen, the Silver Moon pack Luna; and a second man she couldn’t identify.They conversed loudly, their fake laughter rising to her ears as they exchanged pleasantries.“I apologize for arriving suddenly. I know I came earlier than planned,” Alpha Logan apologized calmly.Mina almost scoffed. He wasn’t in the least bit sorry. They all knew why he had rushed down, he was here for Amber.“It’s alright, you know you’re always welcome,” Luna Gwen replied warmly. The procession were about to start walking into the palace when suddenly, Lucas’s head snapped to the side.From where she stood, Mina's stomach flipped and her eyes went straight to t
