All Chapters of From Slave to Queen, Yet Never His Luna: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I went back to my days in Falling Frost Hall, not seeing anyone, only paying occasional visits to Elder Mya.Mya was thrilled when she heard I was getting married. She even seemed a little better, her illness easing for a few days.As for everyone else, I didn’t want to see them and I wouldn’t.First, the whip marks on my back still hadn’t healed. Second, I despised all of them.Especially Lily.She always came running over injured somehow, then sobbed silently without saying a word.As if I were the one who had hurt her, as if I were the villain.She’d actually come by a few times these days.Saying the osmanthus in Falling Frost Hall had bloomed, that the scent was so fresh, she just wanted to come see.This time, Laural turned her away at the door without asking me.We both understood what Lily was after.Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Valentine’s Day arrived.Morning.The scent of grass wrapped around the sweetness of osmanthus. Sunlight filtered through gauzy curtai

Desire churned in his eyes like a storm, so intense no one could ignore it.Standing at his side, Lily could clearly see the desire blazing in Cole’s gaze.“Cole...” Lily grabbed his hand, tears dripping to the ground one by one.She wanted to ask.Ask if he still couldn’t let me go—if he still loved me.But she couldn’t.That would be too harsh, too out of character for her gentle image.So, she swallowed the questions and forced a smile instead, changing the subject.“Look—Princess Lily cried and then started smiling again. So weird.”Laural and I leaned against the window. From the third floor of Château de Rêve, we had a perfect view of the street below. The crowds streaming past included, of course, Lily and Cole.“Nothing worth seeing.” I turned away and went back to my seat.It was almost seven o’clock, my heartbeat picked up.It was time for Vetle’s date.Creak. The door swung open.I turned, a smile already forming—then froze.It wasn’t Vetle.Two strong men stood at the door

Rex just shifted once. Before long, his snores started up again.I let out a heavy sign.Thank the Moon Goddess.I stopped hesitating and began to struggle.I had to get out.I’d heard their words clearly just now. They wanted to destroy my reputation, drag me through the mud.I didn’t care about that. I didn’t care about Vetle.But if Elder Mya ever knew, she would be heartbroken.Her health was already getting worse and worse. I’d been back in the Pack this long—what had I even done for her? The only thing I could do was keep her from worrying, even a little.Whoever tied me up was clearly good at this. The knot was brutally tight. I struggled for a long time, and the rope only loosened a little.I pictured Mya holding and comforting me gently, a blaze ignited in my chest.No.I couldn’t let my life end here.How could a single rope cut off my future, cut off Elder Mya’s way forward?I braced my left hand and pulled. The rope bit deep into flesh, but I still wrenched outward with ev

Liam exploded, eyes turning feral. “How dare you curse the Pack?!”I met his gaze head on. His pupils had already begun to shift into a wolf’s.“I said—with you in charge, this Pack is doomed.”A dangerous energy rolled off him, his hands clenched so tight they trembled. He was on the edge of losing control.At that moment, Marcus shoved him aside, “Idiot, get out! You did wrong and you’re still yelling at Nina. If she weren’t choosing not to charge you, you’d already be dead!”“That’s right, Nina.” Evelyn finally collected herself, wiping away tears. “Liam is a bastard. Marcus will punish him. We absolutely can’t let news of your kidnapping get out. It’s for your own good.”That line again.For my own good.Who in this Pack had ever truly been good to me?My tone went flat and cold. “For my good or for Liam’s? What are you really afraid of? That this will hurt my reputation more, or his—and Silver Ridge Pack’s?”The mild question peeled back the rotten truth.It was just like a pile

Blood trickled down my scalp, along my neck and hair, pooling on the floor.I didn’t move. I just stared at Evelyn.Her face wavered in my bloody vision, everything stained red.She panicked.It was like she finally realized what she’d done.Her hands shook; the stone slipped from her fingers and crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.“No, it’s not—it’s not like that...” Her voice trembled, as if she were begging someone. “I only wanted you to stop. I didn’t mean to...”She didn’t finish.Buzz—Everything went black. I lost consciousness.It took Marcus a long while to react. “Call the Pack Doctor! Go!”Under Rose’s orders, the omegas hurried to lift me and carry me into the palace.Before she followed, Rose shot Evelyn a long, cold look.She’d never imagined a mother could strike her own child like that.Evelyn was stunned, shaking in Marcus’s arms.Lily was helped to her feet, her face swollen, blood at the corner of her mouth.She shuffled to Evelyn’s side and collapsed into her
