All Chapters of The Outcast Luna Becomes The Lycan Queen: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The scent of sizzling butter and fresh bread filled the cabin, wrapping around me like a comforting embrace. I stirred the pan carefully, forcing my hand to stay steady even though my heart wouldn't stop fluttering with worry.Breakfast. Something so simple. Something ordinary. But this morning, it felt like the only way I could show Veldrin how much I cherished him. I couldn't shoulder his burdens as King, not fully, but I could do this. I could make sure the first thing he tasted today was warmth and love, not blood and iron.Behind me, I heard the soft sound of boots against the wooden floor, followed by a familiar scent. I turned, and there he was, my King, my mate. Veldrin.His broad shoulders carried the weight of a crown, but it was his eyes that undid me. I searched them immediately, desperate to see if he was hurt. Relief loosened my chest when I found no blood, no wounds. Still, there was exhaustion there, profound and heavy, a kind of weariness that will require severa

My eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Did Kyrex tell you something? Is that why you rushed here like I was about to set the house on fire?"His sigh was long and heavy, as though the weight of the world sat on his chest. "Yes. He said… You tried to harm yourself. Even kill yourself. And, if I didn't come, I might never see you again."I was lost for words, but I was amused at the same time. "What?! Why did he say that?""That's what he told me," Veldrin muttered grimly. His tone carried a mix of irritation and something else, fear. "And this is the second time he's warned me. That's why I've been so worried."I stared at him, dumbfounded. "He said… I tried to kill myself… Over muffins?!""As silly as it sounds, but yes." His golden gaze fixed on me.My head whipped around the room, searching Kyrex's shadows, but I didn't see its massive body. "Where is he? Where's that overgrown dimwit furball? Let me scold him," I say, raising my voice."He's in me now," Veldrin said, expression flat, t

The fury in his eyes grew even stronger, like a storm I couldn't withstand. His presence overwhelmed me, suffocating, and every instinct in me screamed to run. And, for a fleeting moment, I thought he would strike me down where I sat. My body trembled, but I managed to force myself to speak. If I stayed silent, the possibly baseless extreme fear inside my mind would kill me faster than his hand ever could."Sir..." I whispered, clutching the edge of the sofa until my knuckles turned white. "You must listen. There's something far more dangerous happening in the pack, something outside our control. This is bigger than Lady Rissa's betrayal."My words seemed to pierce through his fury. The blazing rage in Gelael's eyes flickered, dimming into something else, anxiety and curiosity. Still, the sudden shift unsettled me more than his wrath.I try once more, desperate to capture his attention. "Alpha Mark, he could kill me outright and expose everything I've done for you. So… what are yo

Remi nodded. "Yes, my Queen, she rests in that room. Sleeping, though her body fights every moment to recover."My eyes landed on the tightly closed door. Without thinking, I stood from my seat and moved closer, instinctively, my steps drawn toward the door. A part of me wanted to see her, this warrior who had given so much, who had nearly lost everything protecting the very forest I now called home. But another part of me hesitated, as though peeking into that room would make the patient in danger. I turned back to Remi. "Will she wake?"Remi's face softened, her voice gentler now. "Yes, my Queen. She is strong. I believe with all my heart that she will open her eyes again. It may take time, but she will return to us."I exhaled slowly, relief threading through my chest.Ara, unable to hold back her curiosity, blurted, "Is she as fearsome as the stories say?"Suzan elbowed her sharply. "Ara!"But Remi only gave a faint smile. "Fearsome, yes. But loyal and kind beneath it. She

"Of Keala—" I whispered, watching his expression freeze."Rissa..." His voice was low, almost broken. "There's nothing between me and her. She is a warrior, yes, but I have nothing to do with her. I never pictured myself with her. Not even in my thoughts. You can ask Kyrex if you don't believe me."I blinked, startled. Veldrin's golden eyes burned with worry, but not the kind he usually carried when preparing to face enemies or protect the kingdom. This was different. This was fear of me, fear I might doubt him, fear I might walk away."I will call Kyrex out now..." he began."Veldrin," I stopped him quickly, clutching his hand and shaking my head. "No. No. Don't call Kyrex. I trust you, Veldrin..."His brow furrowed, tension still in his shoulders, but his eyes softened slightly. "You trust me, but… You said you were jealous of Keala?"Instead of answering directly, laughter bubbled out of me. I couldn't help it. The great Lycan King panicked because his Queen said the word "jealou
