Semua Bab Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Lucian’s POV “Does that change the fact that you chose your mistress over me every single time? Does it erase the humiliation? The nights I spent alone wondering why I wasn't enough?” The question kept ringing in my head, louder and louder, like a funeral bell that wouldn't stop tolling as I ran through the woods, my legs pumping like pistons. I had no idea where I was. I didn't even know how much distance I had covered in the last few minutes. I just kept running, as if I could outpace the memory of her voice. As if I could run away from myself. But there was so little I could hold back right then. So I finally broke, slumping forward and plopping down heavily at the base of a massive oak tree. I gasped for air, clutching the dirt. I didn't even notice it was this dark until now. The shadows had lengthened, swallowing the forest whole. I leaned my head back against the rough bark, closing my eyes. Even though I knew he was going to pour a good amount of salt on my open wounds, I

Maelis’s POV“Lucian might be in trouble,” I said tightly, my body already roaring at me to move, to leave Melanie there and go chase him down. But I didn't move.“Aren't you going after him?” Mel asked, looking at me with surprise.“Didn't you say his Beta went for him already?” I stressed, trying to convince myself more than her. “They are adults. They are capable enough to watch each other's backs and keep each other safe.”“But you literally just said you had a feeling of him being in danger.” Of course I did. Exactly why I'm trying to push the feeling away. Given that, all I got then; when I acknowledged the bond despite knowing the implications was betrayal. And now I'm getting the same signal, definitely because he got himself caught up in some danger. But I'm not going to charge into it when I don't have Rosa anymore. At least with her, survival would've been certain.It's because of her that I'm here, alive right now after all and I'm not going to throw that away like some

Maelis POV I swung the metal pipe with every ounce of strength I had, aiming right for the center of the glass. CLANG! The impact vibrated right up to my shoulder socket. The glass didn’t even crack. Instead, the force rebounded, sending a shockwave that felt like it was going to rip my muscles apart through my arm. I dropped the pipe, gasping in pain, clutching my numbing wrist. Inside the box, Lucian had slumped to the floor. His eyes were half-closed, his chest heaving as he fought the gas. Kellan was already unconscious beside him. “Selene, stop!” Melanie rushed toward me and grabbed my shoulder, “It’s reinforced! You can’t break it!” She yelled, trying to pull me away, toward the exit. “We have to go. We can get people to help them out of here, but we’re going to die if we don’t leave right now. That gas is going to leak!” I knew that. Of course I knew that. But I looked at Lucian. I saw the way his hand was reaching out toward the glass, toward me, even as he was fading.

Lucian’s POV“Does that change the fact that we were let in on less information and had us going about looking for some lady who supposedly stole from you? While in fact, you’ve been shielding her all along!”Tyler’s voice was the loudest of the Council members. As their leader, it was understandable that he was the voice of their collective indignation.I leaned back in my chair, unbothered.“She went back,” I replied without much emotion. I’d rather be anywhere but here, facing this legislative circus that was established to keep “checks and balances” on Alphas.“You let her go back?” Tyler’s jaw almost fell to the ground.“If you are asking if I was there when she went back, and I allowed her... yes, you’re right. I did.”“Though you’re free to go bring her back here to justice,” I continued, my voice smooth. “Just one thing—she didn't take anything of mine, so you can't charge her with theft. And lest I forget... just hope you know that before you get to her, you must know you don

Maelis Two Hours LaterI paced around my room, my heart racing.Everything was falling apart.If I had known he was going to release his aura on me, I would've come up with a back up plan, but I wasn't even given a minute to myself. I just woke up for goodness sake! But now he knows Rosa is gone. And what's a Rolkov without their wolves? What's me without Rosa?He hadn't said it outright, but the way he had dismissed me without a word about our past agreement, locking me in here right after tells a lot... he knew I was broken.And he has no use for broken things.Therefore it was only a matter of time before he came for me. And when that time came, I wouldn't be able to get myself out of here, let alone my mother. So I had to act fast.I opened the door.Ronan was standing guard there, his face hard like stone. “Can you step out of the way, I need to take care of something.” “I’m sorry but you have to stay in your room, Lady Maelis, Alpha Alaric orders you not to go out.” he said
