Semua Bab The Rejected Luna: Bab 61 - Bab 70

After dropping the bombshell about ending the engagement Alpha Kane walked out of the chamber without waiting for any responses or arguments from the shocked advisors. He moved quickly through the corridors with his mind focused entirely on getting back to check on Maya’s condition.He reached Maya’s new chamber and pushed open the door to find Jenna assisting the head healer alongside several other palace maids who were helping to care for the injured woman. The room smelled of healing herbs and antiseptic ointments that the healer was applying to Maya’s torn back.Kane stepped inside and his eyes immediately went to the bed where Maya lay face down with her back exposed showing the extent of the damage that had been done to her. Fresh bandages covered most of the wounds but he could still see patches of raw flesh where the whip had cut deepest.“How is she?” Kane asked as he approached the bed.The healer looked up from her work and gave him a reassuring smile. “She will be alright

“Dad are you serious?” Prisca asked as she stared at her father in disbelief not wanting to believe what her ears had just heard. “You can’t mean that you’re actually going to throw me out of your house.” “You’ve got ten minutes to exit my compound,” Advisor Ralph said without any trace of humor in his voice or expression. “I suggest you use that time wisely to gather whatever belongings you can carry because after that the guards will remove you by force.” Prisca felt like she had been slapped across the face. “Father you are sending me out because your evil plan didn’t go through?” she asked with her voice rising in pitch. “All those schemes you came up with to get me close to Kane and to make me Luna were your ideas and now you’re blaming me for their failure?” “No,” Ralph replied coldly. “I’m sending you out because you are no longer useful to me and I have no reason to keep supporting someone who has proven to be incompetent and reckless.” “How can you say that to your own

Maya lay down on her chest on the bed in Kane’s room while the healer worked carefully on cleaning her wounded back with liquid herbs that stung and burned with each application. Her whimpers could be heard every time the healer’s cloth touched a particularly deep cut and the sound made everyone in the room tense.Kane stood near the window with his hand balled into a fist so tight that his knuckles had turned white. The room temperature seemed to drop several degrees from the cold fury radiating off him and everybody in the chamber tried their best not to make any sudden movements that might draw his attention or piss him off further.The healer worked as quickly and gently as she could while casting nervous glances at the Alpha’s rigid back. “I’m almost finished with this section,” she said quietly to no one in particular. “Then I’ll need to apply the healing salve before bandaging her.”Maya let out another soft whimper as the cloth touched a raw patch of skin and Kane’s entire bod

Morning came and Prisca stretched lazily in the soft bed as her eyes slowly opened and landed on unfamiliar curtains hanging by the window. She sprang up quickly as confusion flooded through her and she looked around the strange room trying to remember where she was.But the memories came rushing in all at once and hit her like a physical blow. Her father’s cold rejection and the guards dragging her away and Aaron raising his sword to kill her and John appearing to save her life. Everything crashed down on her and she began to sob.“Father is a monster,” Prisca muttered through her tears as she pulled her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. “He used me for his own plans and then threw me away when I wasn’t useful anymore.”She rocked back and forth on the bed as the sobs grew stronger. “He never loved me,” she continued muttering. “I was just a tool to him and nothing more than that.”The door to the room opened quietly and John entered carrying a tray with food an

Maya walked slowly through the forest as her feet made crushing sounds against the fallen leaves scattered across the ground. She kept moving forward but felt herself being controlled by some strange pull that she couldn't explain or resist.It was as if something was drawing her deeper into the trees and her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of two golden lights glowing in the darkness ahead. There again she saw the huge white wolf with its shining eyes staring at her while whispering her name softly through the night air.Maya hurried her steps trying to reach the wolf but it seemed like she wasn't moving at all despite her best efforts. Her legs pumped and her heart raced but the distance between them never seemed to close no matter how hard she tried.She pushed herself harder trying and trying until finally she fell forward with a thud that jolted her entire body. The impact was so real and sudden that it shocked her system.Maya woke up with a start her body covered in sweat from h
