Semua Bab The Luna’s Second Life: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Violetta's POVThe air in the west gardens smelled of lavender and wet stone. Night had fallen, yet I couldn’t shake the unease crawling down my spine. That sense of impending doom was all over me again.I had come here to clear my head, but instead, I felt watched.And then he appeared.Nolan.I should have known.He stepped out from the shadows with the confidence of someone who believed the world belonged to him. His Alpha cloak trailed, and his lips curled in that smug smile I had once thought charming but now only found suffocating.“Violetta,” he said smoothly, as though my name were a possession. “What is the beauty of the Silvermoon pack doing here?”I stiffened. “I should excuse you.”He stretched out his hand, blocking my way. I noticed the guards repositioned at the exit.“Is this some kind of setup? Just so you know, Theodore isn't far.”He chuckled. “Wow. So it's true. You and Theodore”“I don't care what you've heard. I don't need your opinion or validation or even your

Luna Theresa's POVThe smoke from the incense stick rose high in slow, spiraling ribbons, curling toward the ceiling as though whispering secrets to the heavens. The fragrance was sharp yet calming, an exotic blend of sandalwood and dried roses. I closed my eyes, inhaling deeply, savoring the balance of fire and serenity.Peace.This was why I insisted on having this mansion built for myself.That palace province was a product of unchanging laws, and powerless Lunas couldn't challenge their dogmatic cultures.Pathetic.I laid another incense stick on the tray, letting the ashes fall neatly into the bronze bowl carved with wolf insignias.“Call the masseuse,” I ordered, taking to my feet.The maid nodded and scampered out. Within moments, the masseuse entered with quiet grace, carrying a lacquered box of oils and balms that glimmered faintly in the morning light. She bowed, waiting for my approval, and then set about preparing her tools on the side table.I took a comfortable position

Theodore’s povI lay on the bed, too self-aware to get up. I messed up another chance to make her mine last night.And I knew she may have started having certain thoughts about why I kept avoiding anything physical with her; she may even begin thinking she repulsed me and I didn't want her.But it was far from that. It wasn't that I didn’t want her. Hell, it was that I wanted her too much.However, I knew the consequences. If I lost my self-control and held onto her with the wild heat coursing through my veins, without her wolf in sight, there was no way she’d be able to stand it.Stand me.So I was stuck with my imagination and personal prayers, believing in the moon goddess for a special day when she finally unleashed her wolf and sensed our mate bond.It was then and only then that I could show her just how much my soul yearned for her.She had left the room early. Also came in late last night, sneaking around, and I knew it was all to avoid me.I managed to roll off the bed, had m

Theodore’s POV.I didn’t like the idea of her meeting Nolan for anything because I knew he would want to use this opportunity to make an impossible demand of her.“Caleb, go after her and make sure she doesn’t get close to Nolan,” I said, more like ordered, actually.“I’m sorry, I can’t do that. I want the same thing as her; you should be happy. For the first time, we are on the same page.” He shrugged.I slammed my hand against the door rods. “Caleb, Arlene, are you crazy? You know he’ll demand something ridiculous from her; go stop it.”“Actually, we don’t know that yet. Just calm down, will you? Let’s see how things work out. I’ll brief you later, and I’ll have someone send you some food.” He said before running off.“Shit.” I ran my hand through my hair. “What am I going to do?”Violetta’s POV.I walked on like a boss who knew what she was doing.But in reality, I was scared of my head. All that talk to Theodore was all just a thing of the moment.The unexplainable urge to not wan

Violetta’s POVMarry me again, Violetta.Those words replayed in my mind as I stared at the monster before me, who was hell-bent on marrying me, not because he loved me but for whatever selfish reasons he had. A monster who, if I eventually decided to marry, would have nothing but evil and heartbreak awaiting me. So why go through all this trouble when he knew he genuinely didn’t care about me? “You know what, Nolan, I made a mistake coming here. I was stupid enough to think I could get something out of you; now I know that’s impossible. Do whatever you want, but marrying you is the last thing I’d ever do. Even then, I’d rather fall onto a sword.”He looked taken aback by my words, and before he could say anything, I pulled the door open and walked out.Before going to his room, I had expected him to prove difficult, but the level he went to surpassed my imagination.He was truly shameless. I walked back into the dungeon, Caleb trailing behind me.“So how did it go? Did he agree t
