Semua Bab Cursed Luna: Bab 71 - Bab 80

JohnWith one shoulder resting comfortably on the doorframe, Ronan drawled from the doorway, but his keen eyes did not miss anything."Are we disturbing someone?" Lucien moved in next to him, his eyes slowly moving from Rebecca to me, his smile cutting and silky. With a hint of mischief on his face, he cocked his head slightly."We appear to have impeccable timing," he said, in a lighthearted but derisive tone. I forced myself to turn and look them in the face as I moved away from Rebecca. Nevertheless, I couldn't resist giving her one final look.Her jet black hair was flowing loosely about her face, her face was flushed, and her breathing was irregular.My chest tightened as her garments stuck to her and sweat adhered to her skin. I had a strong want to protect her from their gaze and to keep this unguarded, raw version of her for myself. I scowled at them, my words piercing and biting, my jaw clenched."Yes, you are indeed interfering." In a way, I was relieved to be interrupted be

The weight of their gaze was like a physical weight crushing down on me, making the hallways feel colder than normal.I hurried along, keeping my chin up so no one could see how shaken I was. Perhaps the word "eavesdropping"was too strong, but I couldn't resist standing around a corner to listen in. I was merely listening to what they were saying.John had defended me, and I could hear his words clearly and deadly as I put my ear to the wall,"She is the Luna." And you'll speak to her appropriately. The meaning of those words shouldn't have been so strong.They had no business curling up in my chest, hot and poisonous. However, they had. Obviously so.Because there had been something emotional in his tone beneath his icy, unyielding surface, possessive, fierce, and I was more afraid of that than anything else.When I got to my chamber, I pushed my back against the door and silently closed it. Unevenly, my heart thudded.The whole room had been on the verge of war, and I had felt mor

"Want to put me to the test?" I said icily. Then, by all means, continue to press. But realize this—"I moved closer, so close I could feel the feeble pulse throbbing in his neck"there won't be any warnings when the time comes. No arguments. Just blood. Lucien's grin remained unwavering, but his eyes grew piercing, with a glimmer of something perilous flickering inside. A problem. Kieran moved next to him, his fingertips tapping the table's edge as he became more agitated. They weren't together, but they were playing a game. Not entirely. I left the suggestion dangle like a blade in the air as I replied, "You both seem quite concerned about the state of my borders". "As though you were aware of the precise location of the ambush." Kieran ceased his drumming. Lucien's face froze, so blank that it was damning in its own right. I smiled at them icily, without amusement. "Brothers, tell me," I whispered, my voice piercing the quiet like a knife, "should I be questioning my own b

JohnLong after Rebecca had finished speaking, her comments continued to reverberate in the quiet of my office. "I should be involved because I am the Luna of this pack." Every muscle in my body tensed up as I gazed at her, all of my instincts clashing.On the one hand, my inner wolf let out a cry of protest. I had to keep her safe because she was the one thing I couldn't afford to lose. However, the man was aware that she was correct. However, I was unable to.She wouldn't be in the direct line of fire, in my opinion. Not when my own blood was in danger, my brothers.My fingers dug into my palms as I balled my fists. I was consumed by rage like wildfire.I couldn't ignore the declaration of war that they would even try to get rid of Rebecca. Yes, they had made cunning suggestions, but I could dismiss those as meaningless threats and a way to agitate me. However, they were genuinely planning... That was on a completely different level. Trying to control my temper, I took a calm breath

Rebecca and I had barely established a fragile stillness when there was a sudden, frantic knock on the door.A strained and tight voice shouted out from the other side, "My Alpha." "You must come right away." Every muscle in my body stiffened.With my wolf already on full alert, I glanced at Rebecca. She started to say something, but I stopped her by raising a hand.I said, "Stay here," in a tone that made no space for disagreement. Her lips parted and her eyes narrowed as if she was going to argue with me, but I stopped her before she could. I warned, gentler this time,"Rebecca, please." She must have heard something in my speech because she nodded stiffly after a lengthy beat. reluctant. Enraged.However, she remained. I stepped over to the door and pulled it open.One of my fighters was standing there, his face white and dripping with perspiration."What is it?" I growled. "Alpha, it's the penitentiary," he gasped, his voice trembling. "The old dungeon on the boundary of the area
