Semua Bab Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Melanie POVMy hand was tightly wrapped around my chest as I faced sideways, refusing to look at her directly.Ethan was sitting across from me, his face as neutral as it could possibly be. But I knew him better than anyone; beneath that calm exterior, he was just as furious as I was.I didn't even care how she got here. Though I never thought she would actually come find us, she had always been quite unpredictable. Who knows if there's some secret stuff she has to retrieve from here? It was always about secrets with her, so I tried not to think too much about the emotional side of her visit.“Well, I wasn't expecting this,” Evelyn said, glancing around the room as if everything was perfectly normal. “I almost couldn't recognize this place anymore. You've really done a great job turning this land into a thriving place.”“All you see is not my work alone, but also Melanie's,” Ethan said. His tone was hard, and whatever neutral expression he had a few minutes ago completely vanished. “S

Lucian POV“No, the boss couldn't possibly say that,” the Russian argued, crossing his arms with a stubborn look.I wasn't having any of it. Kellan had already gathered just enough people we would be needing for the operation, and the clock was ticking mercilessly.“I don't have enough time for this,” I huffed, rubbing my temples.But thinking about the fact that if he was going to follow me into a potential bloodbath, I needed it to be out of his own compliance. Not just because Selene ordered him to.“You can go in there and check with her if I'm telling the truth or not,” I told him, gesturing toward the pack house.“Exactly what I planned to do,” Luka said with a wide grin.Given the current situation, I would have very much loved to punch that smug look right off his face. But he didn't know anything. Yet. He didn't know Anna was missing, or the impossible choice Mira had laid at my feet.“Be quick,” I nodded firmly.He jogged off toward the house, hastening his steps. If it were

Maelis POVI couldn't wrap my head around any of the things happening right now.Despite my condition, being tightly bound to a cold, metal chair, all of this felt like a terrible, twisted dream. One I will do anything to not relive anymore. “I know, right?” Mira answered, her high heels clicking against the floor as she walked forward.Did I speak out loud?“You know, we would've made quite the perfect step-mother and step-daughter if you hadn't been such a stubborn fish bone in my throat,” she sneered, crossing her arms.“But why?” I couldn't help but ask, my voice raspy. “Why do you hate me so much? I’ve never wronged you. I never even knew you before.”“Exactly!” she snapped, her eyes flashing with venom. “Being the perfect Luna without even trying. We meant you dead so many times, I feel death might actually be biased against you! You always managed to escape, one way or another. Which is exactly why I'm going to do it myself this time around. To make sure you're finally gone.”

Ethan POVFlashback“I know I'm in no position to request your help with the Moonflower pack, but this is a war we can't fight alone. We need as much help as we can get to take down the monster.”Evelyn’s voice was pleading, but my jaw was clenched so tight my teeth ached.“It's not my monster. It's not my war. So it's none of my business.” I ground out, standing up from the chair to walk away. The day I left Moonflower, it felt like a truck had run over my heart. I had vowed to never return to that place. “I have nothing else worth fighting for there.”“But your sister is there,” she pressed, stepping in front of the door. “Selene is also going to fight. She can't do this all alone.”The sound of her name made my heart squeeze painfully in my chest. I turned back to face my mother, my eyes burning. “Selene and I have no business anymore. She can save herself just fine, and I'm sure she's going to do way better without my help. Lucian will be there, Mother. I have no reason to go.”“Y

Lucian POVI never knew what panic, anxiety, fear, and pressure truly meant until I had to sit in that charter flight for six long hours. Six hours of absolute hell, my mind torturing me with every possible horrific scenario of what was happening at home.I felt like a dying man clutching at a fragile straw. My mind, my thoughts, my legendary control—everything failed me. I couldn't process the fact that something was currently happening to my mate, to my pack, and I was miles away in the sky.I was deceived into going there.If I had known it was a trap, I would have taken her along. I wouldn't have stopped her from coming with me. I would have kept her where I could see her.Even killing the men Alaric planted around the terminal did nothing to ease my rage. None of them had any relevant information, except Ronan. He had come with them. He was the one who told me about the ambush they had planned at the pack house. Right before I snapped his neck, he coughed up blood and told me to
