Semua Bab REJECTED AND REBORN AS THE ALPHA KING'S LUNA : Bab 21 - Bab 30

POV: Thelma I woke up in a bed so soft it felt like clouds. For a moment, I forgot where I was. Forgot everything except the warmth and comfort surrounding me. Then memory crashed back, and I bolted upright with a gasp. The room was beautiful. Sunlight streamed through gauzy curtains, illuminating elegant furniture and walls painted in calming blues and greens. Nothing like a prison cell. Nothing like what I expected from a captor. "You're awake." The voice came from a chair near the window. Selene, no, she'd called herself Luna. My aunt Luna sat watching me with those familiar eyes. "How do you feel?" "Like I've been poisoned and kidnapped." I swung my legs off the bed, testing my strength. The silver burns on my wrists were bandaged with something that smelled like healing herbs. "What do you want from me?" "Direct. I like that." She stood and moved closer, her movements graceful and controlled. "You look so much like Catherine. My sister would be proud of the fighter yo

POV: Thelma The training ground fell silent as Theo approached me. Every warrior stopped their practice, sensing the tension crackling in the air. My brother, my twin moved like death itself, all grace and controlled violence. "She doesn't look like much," Theo said to Luna, circling me slowly. "Are you sure this is really her? The great Alpha heir we've been waiting for?" "I'm standing right here," I snapped. "You can talk to me directly." "Why would I talk to a ghost?" His golden eyes—our father's eyes—were cold as winter. "My sister died twenty-three years ago in the massacre. Aunt Luna told me so herself." I turned to Luna, betrayal burning in my chest. "You told him I was dead?" Luna's expression remained neutral. "I told him what he needed to hear to survive. A child grieving a lost sister is more motivated than one pining for a sibling who might never return." "So you lied to him." I looked back at Theo. "She lied to both of us." "Don't try to bond with me," Theo snarl

POV: Thelma The shockwave hit like a physical force, rippling out from where Theo and I stood. I felt it pass through my body, carrying our combined power across the territory and beyond. The white-gold light that had blazed between us moments ago didn't just fade, it exploded outward in waves that made the air shimmer. Every wolf in Luna's pack dropped to their knees, including the warriors who'd been watching our fight. Their heads bowed automatically, responding to an Alpha command we hadn't even spoken. "What's happening?" I gasped, watching the light continue to spread. Luna struggled to her feet, fighting against the pressure of our power. Her face was pale. "You've awakened something that hasn't existed in generations. True Alpha twins. The combined power signature is broadcasting across the supernatural network like a beacon." "A beacon?" Theo's voice was sharp with alarm. "You mean.." "Every pack, every Alpha, every supernatural being within a hundred miles just felt t

POV: Xavier Three days ago, if someone had told me I'd be standing beside Neon, working together, I would have laughed in their face. But here I was, watching Thelma stare at us from behind Luna's gates, and I could feel her confusion and betrayal through our mate bond. I didn't blame her. I hated this alliance as much as she did. "She looks good," Neon said casually, as if he hadn't tortured me for hours just days ago. "Stronger than before. The twin bond awakening suits her." "Shut up," I growled. "Don't talk about her." "Touchy." Neon smirked. "You know, if you'd just let me handle this from the start, we wouldn't be in this mess. But no, you had to play hero and steal her away." My claws extended involuntarily. "I saved her from you and her psychotic family." "And now she's in even more danger." Neon gestured to the gathering packs surrounding Luna's territory. "Six packs already here. Three more coming. All because that power surge announced her location to everyone. At le

POV: Xavier Pain was the first thing I felt. Sharp, burning pain radiating from my chest through every nerve in my body. Then I heard Thelma's voice, distant and panicked, calling my name through the mate bond. "Xavier! Stay with me! Xavier!" I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds. My body was shutting down, system by system. The poison Neon had been feeding me was finally taking full effect. "What did you give him?" That was Theo's voice, filled with rage. "Just a little wolfsbane compound." Neon sounded so casual, like he was discussing the weather. "Mixed with silver dust and a few other ingredients. Nothing immediately fatal, but over three days, it accumulates in the system. Very difficult to detect. Very effective." "You bastard!" Thelma's scream was followed by the sound of flesh hitting flesh. She'd hit him. Good. "Now, now," Neon said, still infuriatingly calm. "Violence won't help your mate. In fact, nothing will help
