บททั้งหมดของ THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA: บทที่ 191 - บทที่ 199

IRIS.Despite sleeping late because of our heart-to-heart talk and, of course, tremendous sex to cap the night, I still woke up early. Prince Vaidas was staying in one of the hotels in the territory, as Draco was not comfortable having him here in our home while we slept. He still wanted to take precautionary measures and decided it was better that he was not in the same house.But he did invite him for breakfast.So here I was in the main kitchen, navigating the early morning, guiding our cooks and house helpers on what to prepare for the day. I honestly had no idea what the prince ate for breakfast or if he had any favorites, but Draco assured me he also eats regular food and that I shouldn’t stress out too much.I wished I were like him. I wish I could care less about other people’s impressions, but I think, despite our differences in this aspect, we simply complement each other. Our differences balanced us out. Draco was lounging in the kitchen, drinking his coffee and making fun

DRACO.My forehead creased when a memory hit my head. I found out in the Kingdom of Absalom many months back that a King had a capacity to feel a kin of connection with their offspring. So they knew from the moment they were born whether they were theirs, or, once they saw them, whether they were separated. But I had no idea if this ability extended to grandchildren. “Can you feel a grandchild as well?” I had to ask.“Yes, I can feel my grandchildren as well.”“And?” It was Prince Vaidas, and I could tell the color was draining from his face as he shifted his gaze between his father and Iris, while my mate remained frozen, her hand gripping mine tightly. “She’s mine. She’s of my blood.” The King said but his face remained the same, as if he were trying to gauge Iris’ expression. Prince Vaidas’ shoulders relaxed as a wide smile tugged at his mouth. “I knew it. I just knew it when I first saw her. She looks like her mother, but her…”“Her hair…” It was the Queen. She finally spoke, ey

PRINCE VAIDAS.The days went by, and I had spent more time in the Knight Stone Pack than in our Kingdom. I was invited to move into their home, which I accepted, but my days were mostly spent alone, coordinating our visit to the enterprise. My father’s request was met with inhibition. Since it was classified research, they wanted to know where the information came from. I had no idea what my father told them but the permit to enter the facility was finally handed to me after almost a week of waiting. There were only three passes given—for Iris, Draco, and me. My father insisted on more men to come with us, but the research facility wanted fewer people to know about the research. After assuring my father we were okay and that we could protect Iris, he finally agreed. But he told me he was sending Brute to look after Iris on that day. It was a big risk on his end, as his guardian never left him unless Brute had his own mission. But it also went to show how much my father wanted to m

IRIS.“Can we see her now?” I asked.“We can do that later. Let me show you first the progress and the findings we have.” He smiled as he placed the clipboard on a table and grabbed the remote control before pointing it at a VCR. “It will give you an overview and a basic idea of how the project is evolving, as well as the next processes in place…” Dr. Henry kept talking excitedly, unaware that we had no plans to sponsor this project and that this research would end tonight. “That can wait. We want to see the main subject.” Dad’s voice remained cold. I knew he was upset and he was struggling to keep a professional tone. I saw the disappointment that crossed the face of Dr. Henry. He was excited to share what might have been a prepared presentation, but he couldn’t deny Dad’s request. He motioned with his hand and guided us to the last door, where Mom was. “This room is colder than the rest of the laboratory, but the suit you are wearing should be enough to regulate your temperature.

PRINCE VAIDAS. Our friendship blossomed from that day, and I just found myself coming back almost every day so we could spend time together. Cassiopeia was a century old when I met her, but as a fae, it meant she had just turned of age. I was only seventeen then, so technically, I was still a year younger than she was. But with how vulnerable and innocent she was, I felt older, and I took it upon myself to teach her about the ways of humans. All along, I thought she was a light fae. I had no idea she was the opposite—a dark fae—someone I was not supposed to interact with or trust.It took time before she finally confessed that she was dark fae, and I knew I should have turned my back on her. Dark faes were known enemies of the werewolves, but I was already too invested in her. Not just in friendship, but in something more, something deeper. My young heart fell in love with Cassiopeia, and it eventually led to intimacy. I had no idea why she was glowing every time we had sex. She
