All Chapters of Orphan Luna Was the Real Queen: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Because they wanted to humiliate me, this banquet was held with extraordinary grandeur. The venue was decorated lavishly, with crystal chandeliers and elaborate flower arrangements everywhere. Many friends from their circle had been invited to attend and witness my downfall.Ethan stood near the bar, holding his wine glass absently.He stared at the amber liquid without really seeing it. His mind was elsewhere.Since waking up that morning, he had been checking his phone intermittently, over and over again.He suddenly realized that I hadn't sent him a message for seven consecutive days.Seven full days of complete silence.This had never happened before. Not once in all our years together.No matter how angry he made me in the past, no matter what fight we'd had or what harsh words he'd said, I would always send him a good morning message right on time the next day.Every single morning without fail.But now my chat window showed no activity at all. The last message still sat there fr

The screen lit up with a soft glow.But what appeared wasn't the carefully prepared fake video they had arranged beforehand.Not the doctored footage meant to show me in compromising positions with other men. Not the fabricated evidence of my supposed scheming.Instead, the image showed the entrance of the Alpha Council five years ago.The building's white columns stood tall in the background, official and imposing.It was a beautiful sunny day. The sky was clear and bright blue.A young woman in a crisp white shirt stood on the steps, looking up at the tall, handsome man beside her.That woman was me. Younger, more innocent, completely unaware of what was to come.My eyes sparkled like they held the entire starry sea, filled with undisguised adoration and shyness.Pure love radiated from every inch of my expression.And Ethan from that time was looking down at me with his head slightly tilted.A barely perceptible gentle smile played at the corners of his mouth. One that even he hadn'

"You're lying! I never deceived anyone!"Scarlett's voice rang out, high and desperate.She was still trying to maintain the act, still clinging to her last shreds of dignity.Ignoring Scarlett's desperate struggle and frantic denials, the man said camly. "Let me introduce myself properly, I'm Ms. Elena's Beta, Jason."The words fell like a bomb.Ethan froze completely in place.His entire body went rigid, as if someone had turned him to stone.His brain buzzed loudly, a high-pitched ringing filling his ears, unable to process the meaning behind those words for a moment.Beta. Elena's Beta.That meant I wasn't just some orphan with nothing. That meant I had pack connections, resources, power.If everything was a lie, if Scarlett had never been sick, then what he had done before...The surgery. The kidney. The baby.All of it for nothing. All of it based on lies.His fingertips began trembling violently, shaking so hard he had to clench his fists.His eyes were blood red as he stared at

After Jason's figure disappeared through the grand entrance, it seemed to drain the last traces of false festivity from the banquet hall.The atmosphere shifted completely, turning cold and uncomfortable.Deathly silence spread like a cold tide washing over the room, then was broken by whispered conversations and deliberately light footsteps.People were trying to leave without drawing attention to themselves."Oh my, I just remembered something urgent at home.""There's an emergency pack meeting, I have to go.""My child's teacher called, I need to rush to school."The guests who had been laughing and chatting moments before, eager to witness my humiliation, now had shifty eyes and stiff smiles plastered on their faces.They couldn't leave fast enough.Along with the discomfort was a hint of hidden excitement in their expressions.They had gossip now. Valuable, explosive gossip.Tomorrow—no, probably not even tomorrow—tonight the scandals of the Blackwood pack and Scarlett Hayes would

He'd gotten the man's address from the hospital records and driven there immediately, his mind racing the entire way.When he found him, the doctor was frantically packing his things into a suitcase.Obviously having heard the news from the banquet and preparing to flee the city, maybe even the country.His hands moved in a panicked rush, throwing clothes and documents haphazardly into the bag.He looked up and saw Ethan standing in the doorway.His face instantly turned white as paper, all color draining away in a second.His legs gave out beneath him, and he collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.His knees hit the floor hard, but he didn't seem to notice the pain."Alpha, it's not my fault, really not my fault!"The doctor was scared out of his wits, his voice high and trembling.Before Ethan could even speak or demand answers, he confessed everything.The words poured out of him like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, unstoppable."It was all Miss Hayes, Miss Hayes forced me!
