Semua Bab Awakened: The Luna’s Revenge After Exile: Bab 121 - Bab 130

SELENA’s POV.Ten minutes earlier.Aiden was on the phone a few shelves away. I kept scanning the books, picking one after another. I loved this bookstore. Quiet. Warm. Everything I needed was here. My excitement buzzed through me. I told myself last night I would restart my classes, focus, and help people. Today was the start.I reached for a book on traditional Chinese medicine when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I spun around. Marcus.My heart skipped. I didn’t expect him here.“You?” I whispered.“Can we talk?” he asked. Before I could answer, he grabbed my hand and pulled me toward a corner, away from Aiden.I yanked my hand free. Confusion and caution surged.“Why are you here? Did you follow me?” I crossed my arms.“How are you? Really. Are you healed?”“What are you doing here, Marcus? Did you come just to ask that?”Seeing him dragged up memories I had buried. Hospital visits, Damian, Kourtney. Pain I tried to forget.“You should leave,” I said. “I don’t want to talk to y

KOURTNEY’s POV.Damian stared at me as if I had spoken in riddles, but I meant every word. He needed to stop looking for my ex-husband if I was ever going to feel truly free. Arturo was a battle he could never win—because I would never allow it. I didn’t want Arturo found. I didn’t want to drag old ghosts back into the present. Damian didn’t seem to understand that some scars were better left untouched.“What exactly are you saying?” Damian asked, pushing off the table. His voice didn’t rise, but the air around him thickened with authority. He wasn’t frowning in confusion—he was assessing me. Calculating. Waiting for the real reason.I ignored the intimidation rolling off him like heat. If he stopped looking for Arturo, I would forgive him for whatever his mother did. That woman got on every nerve I had, but her turn would come later—when her darling son was officially mine.“You heard me, Damian.”“Why?”“Because I don’t want to relive those memories,” I lied smoothly. “Dragging him

AIDEN’s POV. The moment she took a step away from me, I hated myself in that moment. Maybe I shouldn’t have told her, maybe I should have kept it to myself and she wouldn’t have this look in her eyes right now. Without another word, she turned around and made her way out of the room leaving me to myself and my thoughts.“Fuck,” I hissed, dragging both hands through my hair. My pulse was a mess, my wolf pacing behind my ribs like a beast locked in too small a cage.Maybe you should not have told her, my wolf murmured.“No shit,” I muttered.I should have waited. I’d sworn to myself I would wait—let her heal, let her settle, let her feel safe. But the moment she looked hurt because of Zelda, the words just ripped out of me. I wasn’t thinking. I was just… reacting. To her.“You’re an asshole,” I told myself as I stalked into the hallway.She was on the balcony, her hair lifted by the breeze, her arms folded tightly around herself. Part of me burned to go to her. The other part knew I

But Aiden shook his head in the negative.“You are not fully healed yet, I will ask Pete to bring you home okay? I will come when I’m done”I didn’t argue, I didn’t want to hold him back in any way.“Sure, I will wait for you at home then”“We will finish this conversation when I’m back, okay?”“Hmmm”With a small smile, Aiden turned around and walked away but Zelda kept standing, I could feel anger emanating from her very existence.“Enjoy it while it lasts” she hissed, “I know Aiden like the back of my hand so go home, that’s where you belong”“But he will come back to me anyways so you are clearly the loser here”Rolling my eyes to the back of my head, I turned away from her but that scent filled my nose again—the scent from the bookstore that day. I abruptly turned but Zelda was already on her way back but the scent was very strong now.“Only you can feel me this way, Lycan blood” a loud voice whispered in my ears, “they can’t feel me like you do” _______AIDENN’s POV. Pete a

I think I need to set that right before she goes on thinking otherwise.With that at the back of my head, I pulled my body off the couch and made my way out of the study. The door to her room was slightly ajar and I walked in. Kourtney was nowhere in sight but I could hear the sound of the shower—she was having a bath.I wanted to turn around and leave but an object on the vanity table caught my attention. It was a shiny little mirror, it looked one of a kind, one I have never seen before.Just as I made to pick it up, the door to the bathroom pushed open and she stepped out with a towel loosely wrapped around her chest.“Damian?” A look of surprise flashed through her face, “I didn’t you were in here”“Hmmm” I nodded, “ I came to check on you”“Oh” her gaze shifted to the mirror for a split second before she returned it to me again, “I was feeling hot so I decided to take a shower”“Alright—that’s a fine mirror there”“Yeah right?” A small smile crept up on her face, “I saw it at an
