HALFBLOOD LUNA 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

Lyra’s POVPa came in with a tray of food and set it down gently beside me. The aroma wafted through the room, warm and comforting. I slowly sat up, stretching a little before giving him a small smile as he blew softly on the hot meal.“Thank you, Pa,” I said, taking the spoon from him.He returned my smile, his eyes kind but tired as he watched me eat. I didn’t realize how hungry I was until the first spoonful touched my tongue. Within minutes, I had cleaned the bowl, even letting out an unladylike belch and rubbing my now-satisfied tummy.Pa chuckled lightly before setting the tray aside. But then his expression shifted serious, soft but firm as he looked me straight in the eye.“You haven’t been in school for some time now.”My stomach dropped. I blinked, the spoon halfway back to the tray. School.“Oh…” I gasped as the realization hit me like a slap. I had completely forgotten. Everything had been a blur lately — the pain, the silence, the nightmares. I had been so caught up in my

Lyra’s POV“You three… to the punishment room. Now”The words echoed long after they were spoken. My breath caught as the hallway went deadly still.Tanya and Ria backed away slowly, disbelief shadowing their faces. Vanessa just stood there, fists clenched, her lips trembling as if she wanted to scream. But she didn’t dare.Kade didn’t spare them another glance. He held me tighter and walked through the stunned silence like it didn’t faze him. Like carrying me was the most natural thing in the world.I couldn’t speak. My cheek throbbed, but it wasn’t just the pain that kept me quiet.It was the way his arms felt.It was the weight of what I was realizing.My heart pounded as I curled into his chest, too stunned to say anything, too overwhelmed to breathe properly.He said nothing as we walked down unfamiliar halls. They weren’t part of the school’s usual layout. These walls were quieter. Sleeker. Private.Eventually, he stopped in front of a tall black door, opened it with a key, and

Lyra’s POVI walked to my locker first, carefully placing my things inside. My fingers brushed over the worn edge of my textbook, the only one I actually liked and I pulled it out, holding it against my chest as I slammed my locker shut.Walking to class, the hallway was quieter than usual. Most students had already disappeared into their classrooms, the air still heavy with what happened earlier.I turned the corner and saw caleb. I frozeHe was walking straight towards me.My heart skipped. Not in the way it used to. Not with longing. But with confusion… and caution.I blinked, wondering if maybe someone else was behind me. But no, the hallway was nearly empty. His eyes were locked on me.He stopped right in front of me.His expression… it wasn’t smug or cruel or detached like it had been that night.It was pleading.“Lyra—”I didn’t wait. I turned sharply, determined to leave. I didn’t have the energy to entertain whatever game he was playing.But before I could take a step, his ha

“Step Away From Her.”Caleb froze like someone had yanked the air from his lungs. The whip in his hand dangled midair, trembling.Through my hazy eyes, I saw him turn slowly.And then, there he was.Kade.His black coat billowed behind him like the wings of a beast. His eyes usually cool and unreadable now burned golden, flickering like wildfire.Rivena stood just behind him, her face as sharp as ice. Her eyes locked onto the scene with pure disgust.“A..Alpha?” Caleb stuttered, backing away from me, the whip falling from his hand with a thud.Kade didn’t answer. The growl that came from his chest said everything.Then he moved.One second, Caleb was standing. The next, Kade had him by the throat, slammed up against the far wall with a bone-shaking crash.“You touched her,” Kade growled, his voice nearly unrecognizable.Caleb choked. “I—It wasn’t—what—”Kade snarled, tightening his grip. “You laid your filthy hands on my mate.”Mate.The word echoed in the chamber like a war drum.My

The morning sun filtered through the curtains like golden threads, wrapping around me with surprising warmth. I blinked at the light, then slowly sat up, surprised to feel... okay. The pain that had consumed me the night before had dulled to a manageable ache. My body was still sore, but I no longer felt like it would tear apart at the seams.“Good morning,” Kade’s voice rumbled gently beside me.I turned to see him seated on a chair by my bedside, his eyes tired but relieved. He looked like he hadn’t left all night.“You stayed,” I whispered, voice still scratchy.He gave a soft chuckle. “You didn’t really give me a choice, did you?”I couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at my lips. “Still. Thank you.”Kade looked at me for a long moment, his gaze lingering like he wanted to say more, but instead, he simply nodded. “You’re safe, Lyra. That’s what matters.”The days that followed were surprisingly peaceful. Kade never left me alone for long. He brought me food, helped me outside
