Semua Bab Orphan Luna Was the Real Queen: Bab 21 - Bab 27

Since Adrian was in an important meeting with the pack elders and couldn't make it in time, I had to go to the appointment alone.During this period of recovery, I unexpectedly discovered that this stepbrother was quite different from what I had imagined.I thought he would be the domineering Alpha type, controlling and demanding like most Alphas I'd known.But instead he was so gentle and considerate that I found myself growing attached to his presence.Occasionally, his gaze was so intense it made my heart flutter in a way I hadn't felt in years.Could someone like me, a fool who had been hurt so badly by a man, be loved again?Could I trust anyone that way again?Just as I was lost in these random thoughts, my mind wandering, a series of hurried, panicked footsteps broke the corridor's silence.The sound echoed off the sterile walls, rapid and desperate.I instinctively looked up from where I sat in my wheelchair.I saw a familiar figure stumbling around the corner toward me, nearly

Ethan froze in place, his body going completely still.He just stared blankly at my retreating figure as Adrian wheeled me away.Watching me disappear around the corner without looking back.He knew deep down that I wouldn't give him a chance.Not after everything. Not ever.But he didn't want to give up, couldn't accept it.Some pathetic part of him still hoped.He staggered and turned around, his movements clumsy.Lost and dejected, like a man wandering in darkness.After taking just a few steps down the corridor, a tall figure suddenly blocked his path.Adrian stood before him, his expression cold and stern.His posture was threatening, protective.He didn't even give Ethan any time to react or speak.Raising his hand, he threw a vicious punch directly at Ethan's face."Thud!"The force was so great that Ethan crashed directly into the wall behind him.The impact made a dull sound that echoed down the empty hallway.His lips split instantly from the blow, blood seeping out.The tast

Four years was enough time to wash away many traces and quietly reshape a person.Time had worked its slow magic, healing wounds and building new foundations.Inside Seacity's top-tier flower exhibition center, I was hosting a new rose show.The grand hall was filled with visitors, their voices creating a pleasant hum of appreciation.After accepting my inheritance and no longer worrying about daily necessities or survival, I had completely immersed myself in cultivating new flower varieties.It became my passion, my purpose.Ethan wasn't a good person, but the roses were innocent.They held no blame for what had happened.Moreover, those were varieties I had cultivated with my own heart and hands.Each one represented hours of work, days of care.In the past, due to lack of money and resources, I had been forced to sell them to the rose garden.Giving away my creations just to survive.But since I took over that rose garden with my inheritance, seeing the varieties I had once cultivat

My wedding arrived as promised, on a perfect spring day.I held Adrian's arm, standing under a magnificent dome adorned with thousands of star-like lights.The chapel was breathtaking, decorated with white roses and soft candlelight.I listened to the priest's solemn inquiry, my heart full to bursting."Do you, Elena Sterling, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?""I do."My voice was clear and firm, no hesitation whatsoever.My gaze met Adrian's beside me, and the tenderness and solemnity in his eyes almost drowned me.Almost took my breath away with their intensity.Thunderous applause erupted from the guests below us.Blessed gazes surged toward us like a tide, warm and joyful.In the shadowy corner of the chapel's back row, a figure stood out of place amid the surrounding joy.A darkness in the light.Ethan wore a slightly worn black suit, as if hastily retrieved from storage.The fabric was wrinkled, not properly pressed.He leaned against the cold stone wall, staring
