Semua Bab The Outcast Luna Becomes The Lycan Queen: Bab 11 - Bab 20

His commanding tone made me flinch, snapping me out of my trance.This man had appeared out of nowhere. No sound, no warning. One moment, I was alone, and the next, he was standing behind me like a ghost emerging from the shadows."Since when have you been tailing me?" I wanted to ask him, but the words caught in my throat. His cold yet mesmerizing stare left me completely speechless.But something about him felt both charmed and puzzling.Unlike the disgusting man who tried to hurt me yesterday, this one didn't trigger my fear, at least not in the same way. His aura was overwhelming, powerful enough to press down on me like a heavy fog, yet it didn't frighten me. Instead, it stirred something inside me. Something I couldn't explain.Was it because of the way he looked and spoke?I wasn't sure.What I was sure of was this: just seeing him beneath the faint silver light filtering through the leaves left me utterly spellbound.He wasn't just handsome, he was dangerously divine. Almost

A few minutes ago.After finishing a warm shower, I stared down at the small bottle of potion in my hand.To be honest, I was nervous. My fingers trembled slightly as I held it. But I knew I had to drink it. If not for myself, then at least to have something to tell Liam or my father if they demanded proof.That way, I knew I'd already done everything I could as a wife to make my husband, Alpha Mark, spend the night with me… but only if he actually showed up. And if he didn't? Then fine. There would be nothing more I could do but stop caring anymore.The potion's sweet aroma filled the air, wrapping around me like a drug. Even before it touched my lips, it made me feel like I was floating on air, like I was soaring above the weight of this cursed reality.I downed the bottle in one long sip. Warmth bloomed in my chest, spreading like wildfire through every vein in my body.And then I feel heat.Not the kind from a fever. No. This was deeper, hungrier, as if someone had lit a slow-bu

His face hovered just inches above mine, his gaze soft and filled with deep admiration.“Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are, Rissa?” He asked gently, his finger tracing a slow line from the tip of my nose to my lips. His touch sent sparks racing through my skin, making my entire body tingle with excitement.“No one…” I whispered, my voice trembling with truth. A dull ache stirred in my chest, the old pain of living for so long in my sister’s shadow rising to the surface.But that sorrow faded the moment his touch returned. The warmth of his finger erased everything: the pain, the memories, the years of being overlooked. Everything disappeared, replaced by something new. Something deeper. Hotter.His fingers brushed lightly down to my ear, then slid slowly toward my neck. I gasped, my breath catching, thinking—hoping—he might mark me. But instead, his finger continued its slow path downward, finally resting on my collarbone.He never looked away. His eyes stayed locked

Flying back to the West District with Alpha Mark felt like an endless torture.And to make it worse… my brother, who was traveling with us, kept shooting me cold glares—as if he might toss me off the plane at any moment.But I endured it. I endured all their hatred and silent insults.I sat alone in the row behind them, pretending to enjoy the endless stretch of blue sky. At the same time, my mind worked tirelessly to understand why Alpha Mark seemed so different from the night before.It was still fresh in my memory how gentle and sweet he had been. But now? From his gaze, he obviously despises me. He looked at me as if I were filthy and putrid. And not only that, his gaze also reveals that he is extremely angry with me. His fury toward me was even more violent than before.When we finally landed in the West District, Alpha Mark didn't say a word to me. He got into a different car without even glancing in my direction.He didn't speak. He didn't care.Instead, he ordered someone

"Pepper?" I whispered, dread rising in my throat. "Did something happen? Why do you look so scared?"Of course, Pepper didn't answer me right away. Instead, she scanned the corridor as if she wanted to see if someone was there. Then, gently pulled me inside and guided me to the cozy sofa, sitting beside me with a tight grip on my hand."Luna, please be honest with me…" she said softly, her eyes burning with intensity. "Did you manage to sleep with Alpha Mark? I mean, you and Alpha Mark really consumed your marriage?"I swallowed hard. "We did… I know we did, even though he's denying it."I let out a long, shaky breath. "Alpha Mark was furious this morning—at me and Liam. Said we forced him into it. Gods, I feel so ashamed just thinking about it. The way he looked at me when he woke up… like I was something dirty. Like I'm trash..."Pepper's expression softened, and after a long pause, she finally released my hand. A small, almost mischievous smile touched her lips."No wonder…"I
