Semua Bab The Outcast Luna Becomes The Lycan Queen: Bab 41 - Bab 50

My jaw dropped. I opened and closed my mouth a few times, but no words came out.'The king? My mate is the king!?' I repeat to myself.Before I could find the right way to scream or faint, a presence crept up behind me—strong, commanding, and utterly familiar. My body reacted before my mind could.I turned slowly.And there he was, standing in the doorway like it was nothing, lips curved in that dangerously gentle smile that said he knew exactly what I'd just learned.I froze, caught between disbelief and panic. My mouth was still open, trying and failing to form words.'The king? My mate is the Lycan king?!''No, no, no… This wasn't happening.'After a few more seconds, words finally slipped out of my mouth, "You've got to be kidding me…Right?" But the man in front of me—no, the king—didn't look like he was joking. His eyes were calm and steady.That gentle smile on his lips? Yeah, it didn't help. It only made me more confused."Rissa... You heard it, didn't you?" he said softly,

I paced nervously across the bedroom, my eyes locked on my silent cell phone as the minutes dragged by.Each second without news made the knot in my chest tighten.It had been over twenty-four hours. And still, nothing.No updates. No calls. No confirmation.I wasn't worried because of that pathetic girl, Larissa's power. No. But I was concerned because she might actually be pregnant.If she returned carrying a child, things could get very, very messy.I had to get rid of my stupid little sister before it was too late."Damn it!" I hissed, grabbing my phone and hurling it onto the couch. "Where the hell are they? Why hasn't anyone told me what happened?""Knock. Knock."The sound was loud and so sudden that it made me jump. I whipped around, eyes narrowing at the door."Yes?""Britt…"The moment I heard his voice, I rushed over and flung the door open.Liam stood there, tall and tense, confusion written all over his face.I didn't need to ask. I could already tell what he was thinking

I've been living in this beautiful cabin deep in the forest for a week now, and slowly, I've begun to adapt to the place's serene and breathtaking environment.Every day, several maids arrive; everyone is kind and respectful, taking the initiative to help with the chores and even preparing meals for me. It reminds me of my time at the Alpha House, but here, it feels different.Here, they treat me more sincerely and kindly, considering my feelings and comfort matters.They don't just serve, they comfort. Their every word and gesture makes me feel valued, cherished... almost like a queen, even though Veldrin hasn't said much about who I am or what I truly mean to this place.Still, I can sense that each of his maids genuinely cares about my well-being.I feel it in the way they bow their heads with quiet reverence. I feel it in the way they smile when they speak my name or walk by me. The strange feeling was that I also sensed it in the stillness of the surrounding forest, as if it r

By the time we finished dinner, the warmth of the food had settled in my chest, easing some of the unease I'd felt earlier. Veldrin didn't say much after our talk, but his presence alone was enough to keep me safe.When we stepped outside, the crisp night air brushed against my cheeks, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth. The moon hung above us, silver and bright, bathing the forest in a soft glow. Shadows of tall trees stretched long and graceful, their leaves whispering with the breeze, enhancing how romantic walking with him felt.His hand found mine without a word, his grip firm yet gentle, as if he feared I might slip away. We strolled side by side, letting the quiet between us speak in ways words couldn't. Every so often, I'd glance at him, catching the way the moonlight carved sharp lines along his jaw and softened the cold edge of his eyes."It's beautiful tonight," I murmured, my voice almost lost to the rustling leaves.He hummed in agreement, his thumb brushing o

I had almost forgotten my nervousness about meeting Veldrin's grandfather, Kaiden Shadowfire.Almost.The moment I was ready to leave and found myself waiting for Veldrin, the nerves came rushing back.'Relax, Rissa… He won't judge you. He will like you just like everyone else around Veldrin does…' I tried to soothe my racing thoughts as I ran the brush through my long, wavy red hair.My eyes stayed on my reflection in the mirror, the soft fabric of the beautiful, light-muted-green dress I found in the wardrobe flowing gently around me. It was elegant enough to make me look presentable but not like I'd tried too hard.After a few minutes seated in my chair, a gentle knock sounded at the door. I turned instantly, and there he was, Veldrin, standing in the doorway.He was dressed in a crisp black shirt, sleeves rolled neatly to his elbows, his smile warm enough to melt away at least half of my anxiety."Ready?" His deep voice was warm and gentle, though it still made my heartbeat sp
