Lahat ng Kabanata ng Awakened: The Luna’s Revenge After Exile: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

AIDEN’S POVThe second the words left my mouth, regret hit like a cold tide. I shouldn’t have said that. I shouldn’t have handed my weakness to her. Selena already carried enough; the last thing she needed was my neediness stitched into her day. An alpha leads, protects, bears burdens — he does not add to them.On the line, she cut me off before I could apologize. “I’m always here for you, Aiden,” she said. Calm. Certain. Those words carried a weight that surprised me — a gentle gravity that should have eased the ache in my chest. Instead it sharpened it. Whoever else she protected, she protected me now.“Don’t worry about me,” I said, keeping my voice low. Control is something I can put on like armor. “I can handle myself. I was just… momentarily vulnerable.”“That’s why I’m here,” she said. There was no pleading in her tone, only a promise. I wanted to believe her with every part of me. I did. And that scared me more than any enemy ever could.“I trust you,” I heard myself say, beca

DAMIAN’s POV. Everyone was looking at me like I had said something wrong. Dominic was lucky this was the way I was going to end him. Daring to touch my wife and sleep with her. How dare he? Who gave him that right? He dared to humiliate me in front of everyone in the pack house and as if that was not enough, he still posted the information online. I would have killed him if I actually laid my hands on him on that day. This was little compared to what i wanted to do to him…he should thank his fucking stars. My eyes traveled round everyone again…only Marcus had relaxed and I knew why. He was team Selena so he wouldn’t hesitate to punish anyone who hurt her. “You can’t be serious, Damian,” Jackson blurted, “how can you even say that?” “What did I say wrong?” I asked him, fury burning from my very essence, “do you want to join him too?” “You can’t just make a sentimental decision, Damian” Antonio added, “yes, he was wrong for that but he isn’t the only one at fault. That bitch a

SELENA’S POVWith one last look at the city below, I turned from the window and sank onto the bed. Greece was beautiful, but the loneliness from America had followed me here. I missed him. Aiden needed me. More than I needed this fake vacation.My phone buzzed with a call at that moment and a familiar name popped up. Emily.She has been calling nonstop these days and I was grateful for that. She was helping to keep my mental health in check.“Hey, Em.”“Selena!” Her voice was light, almost cheerful.“You sound happy. What happened?”“Justice,” she said, her tone edged with satisfaction. “Dominic’s dead. They found him hanging in front of the pack house.”“What?” My heart stuttered.“The Alpha King sent a letter — warned everyone to stop calling you names. Anyone who didn’t show up to hear it read… was executed. Dominic was in prison. Damian gave the order.”I froze. Damian had killed his own brother in arms. For me. Or for Aiden’s command.Emily’s voice softened. “You’re finally

DAMIAN’s POV.Lately, I’d been seeing her again.A girl from long ago.I must have been eight, maybe nine, when I almost drowned in the lake behind my father’s old house. I remembered the panic, the silence beneath the water, the way the world faded into blue — and then a hand pulling me up. Small, trembling… but strong enough to drag me back to life.When I opened my eyes, she was there.Blue eyes. The kind of blue that could calm a storm.Just like Selena's.I shook the memory away as I left the office. I had just finished a meeting with some investors. I almost skipped it, but work was the only thing that kept my head clear these days. My mind had been a mess — the thought of Selena, the news of Dominic’s death… I told myself I didn’t care, but that wasn’t true. He’d been a brother once. Until he touched my wife. That was something I could never forgive.“Alpha?” Marcus’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up and met his gaze. “Everyone’s gone. I’ll tell the driver to g

SELENA’s POV.I threw my eyes open, my pulse hammering as I looked around. This place looked oddly familiar until reality dawned on me. I knew this room—this was our room. Used to be our room until I left. Then my mind refreshed, everything that happened in the past few hours became fresh in my head. Damian kidnapped me. He took me against my will and brought me here.Anger surged through me as I stumbled off the bed and rushed towards the door. How could he do something like that? How could he do this to me? We had nothing to do with each other again but he wouldn’t let me rest. I pulled the door but it was locked. That asshole. He locked me in here. How dare he? What gave him the right to even touch me? I wanted to slap him hard across the face, I wanted to hurt him so much. What gave him the right to even think about taking me?I banged on the door frantically, hoping someone would hear me and open the door but the more I kept knocking, no one answered.I crashed against the doo
