Semua Bab Marked by Moon Fire: Bab 51 - Bab 60

The seven elders sat in their highchairs on both sides of the table. At the edge of the table, sat Lucien in his highchair, quietly staring at everyone's presence. The silence was disturbed only by the cracking sound of the fire at the side. The windows were shut due to the heavy downpour. Guards stood at the four corners of the council room in their armour, eyes sharp and bodies alert. Fabian sat on the right side of Lucien. Jaws clenched, eyes dim, face straight, yet something forbidden continued to brew within his eyes. The door pushed open moments later. The elders turned to look. They have been told to wait for the rest of the members, and they wondered who else would be joining them. When they saw the two ladies walk in, their faces darkened. Lillian and Nyssa.“What is the meaning of this, Lucien?” Elder Julius spat, his voice harsh and filled with disrespect. While the rest of the elders were genuinely shocked at the arrival of Lillian and Nyssa, Elder Julius wasn't. Fa

It rained heavily that the sun didn't appear a few hours ago, as if the rain judged the sins itself. Yet, the Pack Square was crowded with so many people that one would mistake it for a funeral. But how different can this be? The wind brews aggressively, as if it could feel the tension of the moment. The silence stretched even after everyone had gathered. No one cared if it rained.No one cared that it soaked their clothing. The Alpha requested their presence under the rain; they must obey. Every pack member gathered as well, curious to see what was happening. They had not seen their Alpha in years. Some last saw him on the day of his coronation while mourning the late Alpha Mark. They wanted to see what he looked like and why he had all of a sudden decided to appear today. And under the rain. A chair was placed in a well-covered area for the Alpha and the princess, but Lucien refused to get any comfort. His heart was bitter from what he had heard today. The seriousness in his

“Please!!!” A piercing scream sliced through the air. “I do not want to die!” The woman cried. No one paid her any attention. They continued to tie her hands and legs to the horse. “I'm sorry, I don't want to die. I have three children who need me.” She cried, “Let me go. Your highness.” She swallowed, “Have mercy on me.”Lucien's gaze only remained on Nyssa.He didn't know if he should call her smart or cold for not being shaken by the woman's pitiful scream. “Please! Please!” She kept crying, and Nyssa signalled the warrior to loosen the rope of the woman and let her go. He did as told and hissed, “Now, scramp.” The woman backed away quickly, leaving a disbelieving Gideon and a stunned Lucien. He raised his brows at her. He thought she would prefer to die with her son. But she ran so quickly away from the scene, hiding from the eyes of everyone. He raised his hand, giving them a go-ahead. Gamma Hume and the other two warriors slapped the back of the horses, causing the horses

“My lady, Alpha Lucien, seeks your presence immediately.” A guard reported. Nyssa's eyes twitched, and her hand that held Alice's hand turned cold. The mention of Lucien caused her heart to race every time, and she knew exactly why. She has been avoiding him for days. She didn't want to see him. She didn't want to talk about what happened that day in his chamber either.“Huh, did he tell you why he wanted to see me?” She asked meekly. “No, my lady.” The guard replied. Nyssa sighed. “You should go,” Alice said to Nyssa, not knowing why Nyssa was hesitant to go to him. The last time he called for her, she didn't know what she was doing anymore. She cannot lose her composure in front of him, let alone because of him. She finally nodded. “Okay.” She forced a smile. A smile that didn't reach her eyes. “Where is he?”“Is he in his chamber?” She asked, heart palpitating. “No. He is outside the pack building, my lady.” The guard replied, and Nyssa exhaled.She was delighted to hear t

Lucien's heart dropped to his stomach. His wolf pushed to the surface. The air around him thickened until it was almost impossible to breathe. ‘I never sent for her.’ These words repeated in his head as his fingers grew ice-cold. He looked at Lucy and swallowed. Lucy’s concerned gaze locked on him. ‘What was going on?’ she wondered. Concern contoured on her face as she looked at Lucien, who looked like he had seen death itself. However, Alice remained unaware. “It's okay.” Lucien forced the words out, though his voice shook, “I will go and see her now. I thought she might refuse to come.” Alice giggled lightly. “She almost didn't want to.” She recalled how Nyssa kept asking the guard so many questions, “It was only when she heard you wanted to see her outside the pack house did she finally agree.”“Wait—what?” Lucy asked, her head snapped towards Alice. Lucien never goes out of the pack house. Why would someone tell Nyssa he was out there?Realizing she’d said too much, Alice c
