Semua Bab My Fiance is Sleeping With My Step Sister : Bab 21 - Bab 30

The sunlight was already filling the room when I opened my eyes. For a moment I just lay there staring at the ceiling while Devon’s arm stayed heavy around my waist. His steady breathing brushed against my neck and the warmth of his body made me want to close my eyes again and forget the world existed.I turned a little to face him and found his eyes already half open. His mouth curved into the kind of smile that made my heart squeeze tight in my chest.“Morning,” he whispered, his voice still thick with sleep.“Morning,” I answered softly.He brushed my hair away from my face like we had all the time in the world. I felt myself melt into him and when he kissed me, slow and unhurried, I thought maybe this was what happiness was supposed to feel like. Safe and simple.We stayed like that for longer than we should have, tangled in the sheets, laughing at nothing, stealing kisses every time our eyes met. It was too easy to forget everything else. Joey’s teasing, the doubts, the weight of

Devon’s eyes never left mine. The silence pressed down so heavy I thought it would crush me. He was too still, too calm, and that scared me more than if he had been shouting.“Adriana,” he said again, his voice low and rough. “Tell me what he meant. Who is Kyle to you?”I wanted to turn away but I could not. My throat felt tight, my body trembling, but I forced the words out. “He was… my mate.”Devon’s eyes widened. For a moment he looked like he had been struck. Then his jaw clenched and his nostrils flared. “Your mate,” he repeated, the words heavy with disbelief.“Yes,” I whispered. “But not like you think.”Before I could explain further, Devon’s head snapped toward the trees. His body went tense, his senses sharp. “Something isn’t right. My warriors would have never let him through the border. I need to see.”He left me no choice but to follow when he stalked toward the line of trees. The night air felt colder, biting against my skin as we moved deeper into the forest. Devon’s ha

We went down together for breakfast. I had to force Devon to leave the bed with me this morning so we could eat with the pack. Devon was holding my hand the whole way and I could feel eyes on us from every corner of the pack house. I knew they were still not used to seeing me like this. A part of me wanted to hide behind him but another part told me I couldn’t always do that if I was going to be Luna.The hall was already filled with voices, clattering plates, and laughter. As soon as we entered, the sound dipped like everyone was waiting for something to happen. Devon squeezed my hand and led me to the head table. My stomach was already tightening.“Good morning Alpha, Luna,” some greeted with smiles while others only nodded stiffly.I sat beside Devon and tried to act normal, but the tension in the room was clear. Halfway through the meal, a girl with long dark hair stood up from one of the tables and walked right toward us. I had seen her before around Devon, always lingering when

The morning started like any other. I thought maybe the unease in my chest from yesterday would fade if I kept moving, but it followed me like a shadow. Devon had been called away early for a council discussion, so I decided to eat with Joey in the dining hall instead of waiting. The room was buzzing with voices when we walked in. I tried to keep my head down, but it didn’t matter. Every eye seemed to follow me as I sat. Joey ignored them all and piled food on my plate until I had no choice but to laugh. Halfway through the meal, the same girl from before the one with the smirk stood up again. Her voice carried across the room. “Luna,” she said, her tone dripping with false sweetness, “we all saw you yesterday on the training ground. Are you planning to burn us all if we don’t bow to you?” The hall went quiet. My fork froze in mid-air. Joey was already rising to her feet, fury flashing in her eyes. But before she could speak, I stood. “If you have something to say to me, say it

The whispers were still fresh in my ears, the sharp voices that followed me like shadows when I dared to step out alone. Some of them had looked me in the eye when they said it, others let the words roll off their tongues just loud enough for me to hear as I walked past.“She cheated. No one has fire like that.”“She almost killed her own pack member.”“She isn’t fit to be Luna. She’s dangerous.”The sting of it stayed with me even after I was safe back inside with Devon. I had kept my chin high when they said it, but when I was alone the guilt pressed heavy on my chest. I never meant to hurt anyone. I hadn’t even known I could. That girl could have died because of me.Devon had been trying to distract me since yesterday, but he saw it written all over my face. I knew he wanted to shield me from the pack, but he also wanted me to face myself. That was worse than any whispers.By morning Joey had had enough of me pacing around like a ghost. She stood in the doorway with her hands on he
