All Chapters of The Ex-Convict Luna is Back: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Mariana RoseThe air thickened as Rozen closed the door behind his back using his feet and walked towards me. His eyes were focused on me for any shift of emotion.“Why did you do it? Why did you burn his house?”He stopped in front of me and toyed at the flash drive using his fingers.“Tell me, Glenda. What is your real reason for marrying Victor?”I gulped as my eyes roamed around for any possible exit. There was none. I could not just rush out of here without awakening Rozen’s suspicions again.“I burned Evan’s house because of you,” I blurted out of the blue. “I wanted to get even.”Rozen shoved his hands onto his pockets, his brows furrowed and his lips thinning out. “Get even?”“Yes. I wanted to get even because I hated him so much. He married your mate. He is the reason why you are howling every night in that field begging the moon goddess to bring back Iris into your arms. I cannot bear to see you always in pain.”I sighed inwardly when I was finished concocting the best lie e

Mariana RoseMy flesh trembled at the sight of Genevieve.“Please! I can’t take this anymore! Please, do not hurt me anymore!” I remembered begging on my knees for her to stop torturing me but she kept going, even taking pleasure of hearing every wail of pain coming from me.And now, here she is, right in front of me, saying that she’s going to sacrifice her life for me?“I don’t need a bodyguard. I don’t need her at all, Alpha Victor,” I declared, barely holding myself up together.My eyes are stinging red and any second now, I am afraid that I cannot control my tears anymore.“Glenda, please.” Victor held my hands, caressing them to soothe me. “As your mate, it would make me feel secure to let you go by yourself if I know I have someone I trust to go with you.”“I told you I can perfectly protect myself.” I hissed this time feeling agitated at this sudden entrance of a person from my painful past. “You don’t have to do this.”I glanced at Genevieve briefly before turning my back. “I

Mariana RoseThe second I hit the icy cold water, I immediately woke up and regained the control of my mind and body.I can’t swim! I panicked in my head and struggled to make myself afloat.“I can’t sw-”I didn’t get to finish my sentence when I heard a splash of water when someone jumped right into my side and held me closely in his body.“A-Alpha Rozen?” I murmured in confusion when I drowned in his magnetic eyes that were probing at me intensely.Is he really here or was it just another product of my imagination?“Why are you here? I mean, where did you come from?” I asked and looked around in the darkness.Finally, I let out a bitter laugh and caressed his face lovingly. “I guess I am still high from that drug because I can’t recognize reality from fantasy anymore. I am sure you are just nothing but my hallucination.”He gripped my legs and put it around his waist, pushing my body into his hardness. I gulped as my eyes widened when I felt it move against my stomach.Rozen grinned

Mariana Rose“How I wish I could escape now with you, Rozen. All my life, the only thing I know is to sacrifice for the people that I love.”I smiled sadly at Rozen who’s sleeping on my lap and wiped off my tears.“Dreams, freedom... I have to throw them all away so I can please them, so they won't leave me. But I have been so selfless before that I want to be selfish now. I want to prioritize myself this time.”The storm has stopped outside and the weather has cleared by dawn. Rozen decided that it’s time to go home only for him to get too worked again when we saw Victor by the gate obviously waiting for me with Genevieve beside him.“Glenda!” he said worriedly and came running towards us, his eyes darkening upon seeing Rozen’s hands on mine.Rozen leaned in my ears. “If you let him touch you, I’ll lose my control. And you know what happens when I do.”Hearing that, I snuggled closer to him and hid behind his back to the surprise of Victor.“My luna!” Victor exclaimed and opened his

Mariana RoseI held my breath although I already know where this is all going. At the back of my mind, I wanted to be mistaken. I don’t want to betray Rozen this much.He opened the door and gestured for me to go inside. “It’s time for you to see him again, Glenda.”My mouth run dry when I confirmed my fear. I guess my lies came true after all.“Who?” I still asked despite me getting the hints.He locked the door behind me, took my hands, and led me to the bed in the middle of the dimly-lit room where an old man was lying, almost dead in my eyes.“I want you to meet Father again, the one who took you in as a child into our pack.”My whole body was shaken seeing the most powerful alpha in recent history right before my eyes. He has a slimmer body now but the scars and the firmness in his face reminds me of my mate.“But I thought that…” I looked at him.“That father is dead?” He smiled at me. “Yes, that’s what I want everyone to know to protect him.”His hands went into my shoulders an
