Semua Bab Moonmark: The Alpha's Celestial Mate : Bab 41 - Bab 50

Naya looked around carefully. This part of the castle was unfamiliar. It was dark, quiet, and strange. She had never been here before.Her steps slowed as unease crept up her spine.“Why is she taking me here?” she thought, glancing at Lirvana’s back as they walked deeper into the dim hallway.Lirvana walked with purpose, every step sure and steady. She didn’t hesitate once, the path was already in her mind, planted there by the voice that spoke to her.Soon, they stopped in front of an old, forgotten chamber.“Head Consort… why are we here?” Naya asked softly.Lirvana turned to her with a calm smile. “The Celestial Moon celebration is coming soon. I want to make it more special this time. I trust you with the decorations. Everything you’ll need is inside this chamber.”Naya forced a small smile and nodded.The Head Consort opened the door and stepped inside. Hesitantly, Naya followed.The chamber was old and thick with dust, the air heavy and stale.“Go to the drawer on your left,”

Morning came, and Kaelen paced restlessly across his chambers. He wasn’t himself.The human haunted him, her brown eyes, her sharp tongue, her defiance… her body, her moans.Even the thought of her made his heartbeat quicken.He debated whether to summon her, just to check if she was awake, if she was alright.“I have to care for my pups… if they’re already in her,” he muttered, trying to convince himself his concern was only for his heir.“Why am I feeling this way? I can simply request her presence—I’m the King,” he groaned.“You know you can call her in,” his wolf’s voice echoed in his mind, calm but teasing. “I like the human.”“Shut up,” Kaelen growled under his breath.“How could I stay silent when your thoughts won’t stop racing and spilling into mine?” his wolf retorted. “I’ve kept quiet for so long, Kaelen. Our mate, Elora, is gone, but we have a second chance at…”“She’s human, the reason we lost our mate in the first place,” he snapped, cutting his wolf off.“Was she the on

Naya’s eyes glowed before she could even think. Her hand shot up, ready to strike, to protect Serena.But Kaelen was faster. His sword flashed, slicing through the air and cutting the creature clean in half.The bird let out a sharp cry before bursting into smoke and disappearing into the night.Naya froze, her heartbeat thundering. She quickly lowered her hand, hoping neither Kaelen nor Serena had noticed what just happened.Thankfully, it had all happened too fast for anyone to see.Serena looked at him, eyes wide and heart pounding.“Are you okay?” Kaelen asked, his voice low but filled with concern.For a moment, Serena couldn’t tell if he was acting out of duty, because of their bonded lives and he can't let his lifeline drag him down or because he actually cared. But he had asked if she was okay… so maybe it was the latter, right?“Yes,” she said softly, catching her breath. “I’m okay now.”“…but my carriage…” Serena began, glancing at the shattered remains.Kaelen’s voice cut

It was early morning. Naya was already up and had gone to help the other maids.When she returned to the room, her face carried a look of worry.“The Celestial Moon celebrations… they’re being held here?” she muttered, almost in disbelief.Thayne had never mentioned anything about that. Naya had assumed the King only planned to help Moonveil recover from the dark spells, to make sure everything was stable before returning to the castle.It hadn’t even crossed her mind to question why he’d brought everyone here. Now it made sense…. There was another reason. The celebrations.She sighed, feeling foolish for not realizing sooner. “I just want to leave here soon”. she thought.Serena came out of the shower completely naked.Naya blinked, watching her hips sway as she walked past. “Why are you walking around naked?” she asked, genuinely puzzled.Serena shrugged casually. “When I was in the human world, I went to college. I lived in a hostel with other females, we always came out of the ba

Serena shut the door behind her, leaning against it as if it could hold her together. Her chest felt heavy, each breath shallow and dry.Naya stirred on the bed at the sound of quiet whimpers. She sat up quickly, eyes wide with concern, she rushed towards the human.“What’s wrong, Serena?”“I... I told the king I was beginning to like him,” Serena confessed, tears streaming down her cheeks.Naya froze for a moment, memories of Thayne flashing through her mind. She couldn’t help but wonder if he had felt the same pain.“Why would you do that?” Naya asked softly. “I thought you said you didn’t like him—that it was just mutual care.”“I lied, okay?” Serena’s voice cracked. “I knew he still loved his dead mate, and that’s why I pretended not to care for a while now. I suddenly thought… Maybe these past few days, he felt a little something for me too. So I just told him, I couldn't keep it bottled up anymore.”Naya let out a long sigh. “Sometimes it’s better to keep certain feelings locke
