Semua Bab The Luna’s Return: Bab 91 - Bab 98

Chapter Ninety OneThe BatttleRonan’s POV The last fighter dropped to his knees, blood dripping from his lips.I stood in front of him, battered but still breathing.He didn’t rise again.The arena was silent for a second, then loud with murmurs and disbelief.I had won.One by one, I had defeated every challenger they threw at me.Some had laughed when I entered the ring, others had stared in confusion. A stranger. A nobody. Just muscle and scars.But now?Now they stared like they couldn’t understand what just happened.Even I wasn’t sure how I was still standing.I glanced up at the stone platform where the elders sat.Their faces were cold.Unmoved.They weren’t happy.They weren’t proud.They were angry.Because someone like me—someone unknown—wasn’t supposed to win.One elder stood. His voice echoed through the arena like thunder.“This is unacceptable! He is an outsider. We do not recognize this… result.”The others nodded. Whispers. Frowns. Shaking heads.But my eyes were on

Chapter Ninety Three : After the StormRonan’s POVThe gates of the pack house opened with a loud creak, and I stepped in first, the Alpha guards bowing low as I passed.Alpha.It would take me a while to get used to hearing that again. It didn’t feel real yet.Lucien followed behind me, his face calm, but I could feel his tension. His posture was straight, his jaw tight, like a man who knew he had burned all his bridges.I didn’t speak until we were deep inside the house and the doors had closed behind us. Everything felt too clean, too formal. I looked at the grand staircase, the polished floors, the golden crest on the wall.All this… mine now.I turned to Lucien with a half-smile. “So… you going back to Evric’s pack tonight or in the morning?”He shot me a look and snorted. “I’m not stupid.”I laughed. “Come on. I heard they serve good food there. And lots of tension.”Lucien groaned. “Don’t remind me. I wouldn’t step a toe back there even if you dragged me.”“I just might,” I tea

Chapter Ninety Five: The Walk That Broke MeSelene’s Pov The wind was soft that morning.I wrapped my cloak tighter around me as I walked out of the palace gates, guards watching from a distance. They knew better than to stop me — Evric allowed me short walks, as long as I stayed in the garden paths and didn’t go too far.But today, my feet wanted to move. Not just for the sake of walking, but to breathe. I hadn’t truly breathed since Ronan disappeared. Since I agreed to stay with Evric.Since the world started to feel like a prison.Every step I took, I felt the weight of the child in my womb. A reminder. A tiny heartbeat that belonged to a man who didn’t know he still owned me — all of me. Mind. Body. Soul.I sat beneath the old oak tree by the edge of the palace grounds. The place where the air didn’t smell like control, like silence, like gold and fear. I placed my hand on my belly, closing my eyes.“I’m sorry,” I whispered to my child. “For all of this.”A rustle behind me made

Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Morning of the Alpha Celebration(Ronan’s POV)The sun rose, but it felt like nothing changed.The cold from the night still lived in my bones, and the silence in my room was heavier than sleep.I hadn’t closed my eyes. I couldn’t.Not when she hadn’t come.Not when everything was about today.The Alpha celebration.The day I was supposed to stand in front of my pack, the day I was meant to present a Luna.And she wasn’t here.I sat still at the edge of the bed, the same spot where I’d waited all night.The fire had long gone out. My throat was dry. My fists hurt.I couldn’t feel any of it.All I could feel was the empty space where she should be.There was a knock.Lucien didn’t wait for me to answer. He came in.He looked better than me — dressed, clean, ready.But there was something in his eyes that said he hadn’t rested either.He looked at me for a moment before speaking. “You need to come down.”I didn’t answer.He stepped forward. “The hall is packed.
