The Moon Goddess Mistake のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Eve sat on the couch, her arms folded as Tina talked. The polite smile on Tina’s face looked fake, and Eve felt that same suspicion about Tina's intentions. Something had happened during that challenge, and her instincts kept circling back to the girl standing in front of her. “I’m really glad you’re feeling better,” Tina said gently. “It was such a shock yesterday. I was so worried.” Eve glanced at her coldly, “Thank you for visiting.” The tone made Tina blink. “Is… everything okay?” “I’m fine,” Eve said. “I’m behaving the way I always do.” Tina frowned. “It doesn’t feel like it.” Eve stood up and smoothed her shirt. “I need to prepare lunch for 'my mate' before he gets back.” She didn’t hide the emphasis. Tina’s jaw tightened, though she tried to mask it. “Right. Of course.” “Have a good day, Tina.” “Sure,” Tina said, voice clipped. “You too.” She stepped outside, her smile evaporating the moment the door closed. Anger appeared across her face. Yesterday, Chris had calmed h

The heavy thud of his footsteps announced Jude’s entrance. The moment he stepped over the threshold, Chyna’s performance hit a fever pitch. Her wails became jagged, breathless gasps as she flew toward him. ​"You!" she cried, her fists thumping against Jude’s broad chest. "How much more are you going to put my daughter through? First, you humiliate her by dumping her in front of everyone, then you choose that girl as your mate and now? Now your mate tries to murder her!" ​Tina watched from the bed, a strange, detached feeling washing over her. She idly wondered if her mother had always been this skilled of an actress, or if the scales were only just falling from her own eyes. ​"What are you going to do, Jude?" Chyna demanded, clutching his lapels. "What kind of Alpha allows this?" ​Jude remained calm. He didn't get angry; he simply caught Chyna's wrists and gently but firmly led her to a chair. "I am working on it, ma'am," he said. "I need you to be calm." ​He turned his gaze towa

The tension in the house was very choking. Chyna met him at the door, her expression filled with anger. She barely offered a greeting, her silence shouting her disapproval before she stepped aside to let him in. ​Tina, however, was the picture of poise. She emerged from the sitting room, her steps light and her smile warm, seemingly untouched by the trauma of the previous days. "Mother, please," she said gently. "Give us a moment." ​Once Chyna had retreated with a final, lingering glare, Tina turned back to Jude. "I’m sorry about her," she sighed. "She’s just very upset about the decision I’ve made." ​Jude arched a brow. "Decision? Tina, I came here to ask how you wanted to proceed. If we can't settle this internally, I’ll have to involve the Council of Alphas. This is a serious assault." ​Tina shook her head slowly. "That won't be necessary, Jude. I’ve decided not to press charges against Eve." ​Jude froze, the suspicion clear in his eyes. "Why? She nearly killed you." ​Tina shr

Tate’s room felt smaller with every step he took. He paced from the window to the door, his teeth gnawing at his thumbnail until it bled. The sting was the only thing grounding him. ​How? How had his mother seen them? His mind raced to Ryan. Ryan, who was so proud of his position, who was finally starting to open his heart. If his mother breathed a word of this, the scandal wouldn't just hurt Tate, it would destroy Ryan’s standing as Beta. Ryan wasn't ready to be out, and Tate couldn't be the reason he fell from grace. ​"I have to stay quiet," Tate whispered to the empty room, his heart aching. He knew his mother and sister were guilty. He knew Eve was innocent. But to save the man he loved, he had to let a lie live. He hated himself for it. ​The next morning, the sun broke through the trees in shafts of gold. Chris stood at the front of Tina's house, shifting his weight. He didn't want to go inside. Every time he saw Chyna, he felt a cold prickle at the back of his neck, an instinc

The early morning light entered the room as Eve propped herself up on one elbow. She watched the steady rise and fall of Jude’s chest, a soft blush warming her cheeks. Memories of the previous night, the raw honesty they had shared for the first time in their relationship, the passionate reconciliation in their own bedroom, flashed in her mind. He had held her as if she were the most precious thing in the world, refusing to let her go even in his sleep.​She leaned down, pressing a kiss to his forehead before slipping out of bed.​Downstairs, the kitchen was quiet and smelled of roasted coffee. Eve was busy whisking eggs when she heard someone enter the kitchen. She turned to see Luna Alice standing in the doorway, frozen. For a minute, the older woman looked like she was going to leave the room.​"Mother," Eve called out, her voice soft. Luna ​Alice stopped. She slowly turned back, her expression guarded, no hint of her feelings could be seen on her face.​"I wanted to apologize
