Semua Bab The Rising Luna and her Alpha mates: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Chapter 42Amber’s POVDid we make it on time?My limbs felt tired and heavy, the strain of the rushed journey seeping into my bones. At the back of my head, Vera whined. We needed to rest. Needed time to think—to process everything.Maggie, Madame Griselda, and Valeria’s info on my mother.It was all a lot. Going back to bloodmoonlight had drained me more than I realized.“They’re waiting for us,” Delilah’s worried whisper made me raise my head.I blinked confused, then saw what she had seen.On the border, Beta Damon and Mina.My heart filled immediately. Mina was fine. She was even strong enough to wait for us. Fresh strength seemed to rush through my veins as we trudged into the water.Behind me, Taylor was helping to carry the girl. He and Delilah were a little slower, but I didn’t wait for them.The water was cold against my ankles as I waded through and rushed for my best friend.“I missed you,” Mina cried softly as my hands enveloped her in a tight hug.She smelled like home.

Chapter 44SILVER MOON PACKMina stood frozen, her eyes wide in shock as her head snapped from the closed wooden doors to her best friend, then back to the doors.Did she just hear what she thought she heard?! No. No, it couldn’t be.Mina shook her head in hopes she’d be proved wrong. She had to have heard wrongly. There was no way Luna Gwen had just suggested Amber be unable to marry her mates.“Gwen, stop this.” From her side, Damon walked to Alpha Taylor’s side, stiffening, knocking on the door. “Come out, now. Please.”“I’m serious!” Luna Gwen’s sobs came through the door cracks as she yelled. “I’ll lock myself in here with no food! I’ll kill myself because I let that strange girl take the throne.”Strange girl? Amber? Mina’s blood was heating up now. Was there something in the water? Why were the ladies of Silver Moon so infuriating?“Hey! Watch your mouth!” She snapped, her irritation bubbling over.“Stop.” Amber came up behind her. Her face was pale, her fingers shaky as she sho

Chapter 46Amber’s povMy limbs ached, the exhaustion of the last week heavy in my bones. I heaved, breathing deeply as I drew back from Jaman, the pack warrior.“Again, Amber! Again!” Like a merciless tast master, he paid me no mind, shooting his arrow at me.“I’m tired,” I groaned, ducking just in time for the first arrow to whizz over my head.Jaman gave me no time to recover. Over and over again, he shit arrows at me.I ducked, stepped to the side, dodged, whirled. Just like a dance, my body fell into rhythm.Duck, dodge, repeat, then I felt it.Alpha Tristan’s presence in the training room. Distracted, my steps faltered and I turned my head to the training room door.“Ow!” I hissed in pain, as yet another arrow from Jaman grazed my ear.It felt like tiny bee stings, I raised a hand to my wounded ear, feeling the warm stickiness with a frown as Jaman finally stopped.It was bleeding.“You can’t afford to get distracted in a real fight,” He warned, chuckling goodnaturedly.I pouted

Chapter 48Amber’s povLike a cat caught in headlights, I froze still, my eyes darting around the hall for some kind of explanation. Everyone seemed to be looking to me for the same thing.By the table reserved for royals, Lady Lysandra didn’t bother to cover my mouth, chucking triumphantly.I almost scoffed. They did this. They set me up, intentionally not telling me about the feast.Low dissent began to ripple through the crowd, I swallowed, shame crawling up my skin like prickly heat.“Well?” Gwen pushed. “Where’s the food?,” with a dramatic sigh, she turned aroun, addressing the guests.What do I do now? It was too late to cook anything. Great, my first introduction to the pack and after all my hard work, I’d still been disgraced. My eyes began to sting and I looked down, hoping to blink away my tears without anyone noticing.“Forgive me my pack, it’s my own fault and shortcoming. I should never have let such an important ceremony be handled by an outsider. She—-““The food has ar

Chapter 50 Amber’s pov Vindication. It feels as sweet as cool water on a sunny day. Oh I was still furious, but my brain had cleared. A deep sense of satisfaction settled in me as I released my balled fists then crossed my arms. Just who did Maggie think she was? Was it so easy to claim someone else’s mate as your own? The ballroom hall was silent, the air taut with suspense as Maggie regained her footing. She pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear, her lovely cheeks turning red as her face crumpled in confusion and tears. “I… I… I don’t understand,” she shook her head like she couldn’t comprehend what Tristan had said. “What doesn’t she understand?!” Vera hissed in irritation. “But you’re my mate. You… I…” Maggie shook her head then moved to Tristan again. Vera growled and my blood began to heat up. “Calm down,” Taylor whispered, his hold on my wealth tightening once more. She placed her hand on his chest. “I feel it,” Then held his wrist and held it to her
