All Chapters of The Luna's Redemption: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Marius Peddleton's POV:It was already well midnight when I finally stepped out of my office. My neck feels stiff and my patience is running low. Harry had hovered over me like a damn hawk the entire day and practically chaining me to the desk until I signed at least half of the documents cluttering it.By the time I made it back to the estate, my body is already longing for a long shower and sleep. But there is a part of me that is more concerned about someone else. I do not think anyone will be awake. But Lydia is still awake. She is sitting by the fireplace and holding a thick bundle of cloth in her lap and a needle between her fingers. She had a lamp beside her and her glasses were positioned low on her nose.She looked up as I walked inside the estate. The corners of her mouth lifting. "There you are, Alpha Marius."I gave her a tired smile. "You're still up?" "I could say the same to you." she said with a pointed look before tying off a thread and setting her work down. "Did

Georgina Sinclair's POV:As promised, I am now eating my late breakfast with Marius. I am sitting at the same spot Lydia led me to yesterday. But only this time, Marius is sitting directly across from me. There is a faint warmth in the space between us. It is more than just the sunlight and more than the fresh coffee steaming in the porcelain cups.Eating with Marius feels oddly normal and I like it. The table is full of food like soft rolls, butter, honey, fruit and some kind of savory stew that Lydia called a hearty soup. There's also crispy bacon and slices of cheese arranged with lazy care.Marius is eating his food quietly. His manners are neat and simple. He occasionally looks at me to make sure I am eating. Whenever I reach for something, he gently pushes it closer. I pretend not to notice every time he does.We exchange small talk about books, weather and funny remarks from Lydia about how my chapter binge last night might have caused a spiritual disturbance in the study. I la

Georgina Sinclair's POV:I stand up and adjusts my coat. My heart feels a little heavier yet somehow lighter after the conversation. "Thank you for everything." I told Old Keith softly.He gives me a kind smiles that will always reminds me of a father who knew too much but said just enough. "No need for thanks, my dear. Just promise me one thing. Keep walking forward. You should only look back to remind yourself of your progress."I give him a quiet nod and blinking away the tears forming in my eyes. "I'll call Ver now."He raise a hand as I turn to leave. "Georgina."I look back."Do your plans now while the pack is in the middle of confusion." he said in an almost casual voice. "That way, you can leave with less resistance."I blink my eyes in surprise."That's not how a council member should talk." I said with a tired smile and teasing him despite the ache in my chest.Old Keith chuckles. "Maybe not. But I am not just a council member." he calmly said. "But I am an old man who

Georgina Sinclair's POV:The air is cold outside on the balcony. I lean against the stone balustrade. There is no moonlight tonight and as I look up at the dark sky. I can see the stars that are faintly glimmering like scattered crystals on it. But the weather is calm, gentle and peaceful.Soon, a soft sound behind me catches my attention. I turn slightly and see Marius stepping out with a steaming mug in his hand. He offers it to me wordlessly. His fingers are brushing against mine as I take it."Tea?" I asked while glancing up at him."Peach tea." he hummed. "I thought you were out here because you were so quiet."I pick up the cup and bring it to my mouth. My hands can feel the warmth from it which is comforting. After a careful sip, I pause to let the taste spread on my tongue."It's better this time." I said, a little surprised.Marius shrugs before a small smile tugged on the corner of his mouth."I asked the kitchen to make it." he casually explained.Then he tilts his head and

Georgina Sinclair's POV:I sit on the edge of the vanity and staring at my reflection. I still feel half-lost in yesterday's touch and last night's silence.Then my fingers run lightly over my lips.I let out a sigh before I start brushing my hair. I decided to wear a loose cardigan over my shoulders, a muted green blouse with buttoned cuffs and a pair of dark slacks. It's nothing that screams attention.Even my makeup is minimal. A soft tint to my cheeks and a subtle gloss to my lips. It's enough to look presentable but not enough to impress.Because today is not about appearances.Today is the day I return to my estate.To our estate.The one I shared with Ryan.I inhale deeply while steadying myself as I slide a pair of earrings into place. My hands tremble slightly but I press them flat against the table. "You can do this, Georgina."But then, he suddenly appears back into my mind.Marius.His touch. His breath. The low timbre of his voice whispering threats of kisses against my
