Semua Bab Reborn for vengeance: From ashes to Luna : Bab 61 - Bab 70

RYDER'S POVOwen rushed into the office. “Lady Adira and our warriors are on their way back. Actually, they are almost here,” he informed me.I sprang up from my seat. “They are already on their way back?”“Yes. The fight ended quickly because of Lady Adira's plan, so I heard. Although we have a few injured, none are dead,” he replied.My heart picked up pace as I heard that a lot of people were injured. “Is Adira injured?” I asked anxiously.“I did not hear anything about that,” he replied.My heart sank. "I hope she is not injured." I thought to myself. “If there are a lot of injured, then how are they coming back? They need a vehicle to make it easier. Quickly send out two vehicles to pick them up,” I said with clear urgency.“Actually, I do not think you need to worry about that. They are returning in two vehicles, as I heard. Lady Adira must have known there would be injured warriors after the fight.”I paused as it dawned on me that I had once again underestimated her. “Okay. L

ADIRA'S POVI stirred and immediately stilled as my whole body ached like I had been thrown down from a storey building. “Fuck!” I cursed quietly. Even my throat felt dry and parched. I gently opened my eyes and saw Rose’s and Lyra’s faces hovering over mine.“See, I told you I saw her move,” Lyra yelled, but not too loudly.“Reduce your voice; she still needs to rest,” Rose cautioned her.Lyra pressed her lips together and turned to me, worry etched on her face. “Are you okay?” she asked gently.I nodded with a faint smile. “Water,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.They both immediately scrambled off, and as they left my line of sight, I looked around the room. I had half expected him to be here, but he was not. I could still faintly remember how he reacted when I fell and his voice yelling at the doctor.I could not really understand him. Why was he blowing hot and cold?“Here.” Lyra came back with the water.Rose helped me sit up, and Lyra fed me the water. I felt like a ch

ADIRA'S POVI knocked on the office door and entered. Ryder looked up, surprised to see me.“You are awake.” He said. I could hear the relief in his voice. “How is your wound? Is it healing well?” He asked.“It's perfectly healed thanks to your wolf. I heard what he did. Thank you.” I said, knowing that he could hear me too.His eyes immediately darkened, losing the earlier spark they had in them. He nodded. “Why are you here? Do you need anything?” He asked.“Well, I heard about the meeting that was held last night in my absence. I don't know why that was done before I even regained consciousness, but it's okay.”“Nothing important was said. The main meeting will be done when you are ready.” Ryder replied.“Uh huh. Nothing important was said. Well, I will just take it that my presence wasn't required and whatever was said wasn't for my ears.” I said to him.“Why do you have to interpret it like that? Can't you just believe me when I say that it wasn't anything important?” Ryder asked

ADIRA'S POVThings were getting more complicated than they once were. At first I had thought that this rogue issue was not connected to anything. That they were merely rogues that had just settled close to the pack. My only plan had been to use the issue to rise to power, increase my influence in the pack, and at the same time end the rumor.But somehow things had spiraled. And at that point I felt lost. How was I supposed to find out who was trying to kill us when the entire situation was increasingly getting twisted?I pressed on my temple, gently massaging it. But that did not help.“Can we see outside?” Ryder asked.I nodded and followed him outside. “What do we do?” he asked.“Are you truly asking for my opinion?” My eyebrows furrowed.“Yes, we are in this together, right?” he asked, eyes narrowed.“I suppose so. But what I am more interested in is whether you are going to listen to what I have to say. Or are you going to keep believing only what you choose to believe?” I asked,

ADIRA'S POVI walked outside and waited for Grandpa Alan. I was eager to spend some time with Lumina, but it was rare for Grandpa Alan to ask to see me specifically and privately, so it had to be important.After a while, Grandpa Alan finally came outside. A big smile immediately engulfed his face as he saw me. Moving quickly, he pulled me into his arms. It felt warm, and it was not until being hugged that I realized I had desired one deep in my heart. I wrapped my arms around him, cherishing the moment.“You made me really proud. I always knew you had it in you to be a strong leader, and you finally proved it to everyone.” He gently tapped my back. “From here on out, you should be more confident and protect your place beside Ryder,” he said.My energy and happiness immediately drained the moment he talked about Ryder. I pulled away, frowning.“What is it?” he asked, eyebrows scrunched.“I am not doing all this to secure my place beside Ryder. If anything, I do not want to secure some
