Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha의 모든 챕터: 챕터 121 - 챕터 130

Maelis POV “Alpha,” Kellan gasped, ignoring me entirely. “You need to come. Now.” Lucian didn't move from his spot on the bed, though his posture stiffened. “What is it? You can talk here.” Kellan shook his head, his face pale and urgent. “You need to come with me to understand. The Council is here, too. And they're waiting.” “What's going on?” Lucian’s brow furrowed, the softness he had shown me just seconds ago vanishing instantly. He looked like he normally dies, when the situation is beyond normal, deadly serious. “Apparently, a tape was broadcasted all over the states just over a few minutes ago,” Kellan said, his voice tight. “And the people, including the Council, are demanding answers.” “What tape?” “I’m sorry, Alpha, but you won't like it if I say it now.” Kellan said, his eyes flicking toward me. I couldn't help but notice his glare. It was intense, far more than usual. Before, back when he only knew me as a rival Alpha from Moscow, his look held equal parts d

Maelis POVClatter.The iPad slid across the sheets and hit my leg.“A gift from me to you.”Mira said with a fake smile before turning to leave, but just as her hand touched the door handle, she paused and looked back over her shoulder, her eyes cold and hard.“This is just a fraction of what you bring here,” she hissed. “Chaos. Ruin. So, if you like yourself, and God knows you seem to, you better get the hell out of here while you still can. Or else, you'll realize that I'd rather drag Lucian down, and you right along with him than be the one with the loss.”She opened the door and stepped out right after, the click of the latch sounding behind her.“Ugh, what an eyesore.” Rosa grumbled.But I didn't reply to her grumbling as I picked up the device. I didn't want to look, but I couldn't stop myself.On the screen was a video. The quality was a little grainy, but the man in the video was unmistakable. Lucian. His face was twisted in a snarl I had never seen directed at anyone but his

Maelis POVThe heavy a doors slammed shut behind us, muting the uproar of the Council Hall, but the noise inside my head was deafening.Lucian didn't stop. His grip on my hand was iron-tight, pulling me down the long, empty hallway. He walked with a speed that was bordering on a run, his strides long and fueled by a chaotic mix of adrenaline and fury.“Lucian, stop!” I gasped, stumbling slightly as my healing ribs protested the movement.He didn't listen. He just kept dragging me, away from the cameras, away from the elders, away from the mess he had just created.“Lucian!”I dug my heels into the floor and yanked my hand back with everything I had.The sudden resistance made him spin around. His chest was heaving, his eyes was wild and dilated. He looked like a man who had just walked off a cliff and was daring gravity to do its worst.“What have you done?” I hissed, my voice trembling with a mix of shock and anger. “Are you out of your mind?”I gestured frantically toward the doors

Lucian POV “Are the bandages necessary?” Her lips were pouted cutely. And I'm damn sure she had no idea how cute she looked just by making that face alone. “Yes. So you better remember that and stay still so I can wrap them good, and fast too,” I said. We were back in the main estate’s private clinical room now, and I was carefully wrapping fresh bandages around her waist. “But you're squeezing it a little too tight,” she murmured, wincing slightly. “Isn't that a lot coming from the same woman who twisted two metal pieces into me, making sure to touch all the nerve points before pulling a bullet out of me?” “I was saving your life,” she huffed, looking away. “Do you have to make it sound like—” “Like you were trying to kill me?”' “I might've. But it's in the past now.” “Yeah. It is.” I interrupted her, stopping my hands for a second just to stare at her face. If only I could catch that tiny, defiant spark and place a real smile right on her face. I wanted her to smile ever

Maelis POVAfter sitting with mom until she fell back asleep, I finally left the hospital wing and headed back toward the main pack house to find Luka.I needed to know what he was going to say this morning before he barged in and saw Lucian and me tangled in the sheets. But he was nowhere I thought he would be, and I had absolutely no idea where Varrick was either. At least Luka might’ve actually run his mouth to Varrick, so finding either of them would have solved the mystery.But searching for those two in this massive estate was like finding a needle in the middle of an ocean. I sighed, deciding to just head back.But just as I passed by the gym I'd gone to meet Lucian the other day, a thought formed in my mind.Instead of just going back inside the room and sleeping or drowning in my own thoughts, why not lift the weight off my chest with a little exercise? It might even help with my recovery.Normally, I would’ve recovered from these injuries much quicker. But the strain, the s
