Semua Bab Wrong Bride, True Luna: Bab 61 - Bab 70

AmeliaThere’s nothing I can do but to remain sitting, chained to the chair and watch Logan carefully cradle Katherine to his chest and carry her out of the dungeon. If I said the scene doesn’t disappoint and hurt me—I’d be a liar, because it does, more than I’m willing to admit to myself. “I thought he changed, but it turns out that he’s still the same cold man we’ve known.” My wolf growls from the back of my head, startling me. I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself down by focusing on the sound of her voice rather than how messed up and scary this situation is. “His reaction was expected, we both know that,” I answer to my wolf, trying my hardest to make my voice sound even and hide the tremor. In response, I get an angry growl from her. “Amelia, you can’t be seriously trying to excuse what he did! You’re not defending him, are you?” “I’m not defending anyone,” I mutter to her, “I’m just stating facts. Logan will always choose Katherine, no matter what happens.” “No!” M

Amelia I stare at Richard in disbelief. He didn’t just announce that I’m supposed to follow them to the Capital, did he? No, can’t be. Why would I be needed there?Before I can process the words or react to them, Ethan steps in front of me, blocking me from everyone around us. “With all due respect, Beta Richard,” Ethan starts, keeping his voice leveled with a tone that books no argument. “But Amelia won’t be leaving the territory today or any other day at that.” I hear some steps approaching before Richard’s voice sounds closer. “And why is that, Alpha Ethan?” Ethan doesn’t move for an inch, ensuring no one sees me and I don’t see others either. “Amelia is just an ordinary Deadfang member. She is no longer a part of Ravencrest so there’s no need for her to follow them to the Capital. She’s staying where she belongs.”A chuckle escapes Richard before he speaks again. “Alpha Ethan, let me remind you of the laws. It’s best you don’t defy the orders from your king this time, he’s alr

Amelia“Nonsense,” Logan scoffs and looks almost offended at Derrick’s assumption. “My stay in Deadfang has nothing to do with Amelia, but rather other matters.” “Is that so?” Derrick asks and looks at Logan again, making it sure he’s not fully buying Logan’s words. Logan arches an eyebrow but clearly doesn’t say what he wants to say and instead, nods sharply before he continues, “that’s so. I had plenty of reasons to extend my stay in Deadfang, but those, we will discuss later when we’re somewhere more private.” Hearing the seriousness of Logan’s words, Derrick nods in agreement. I steal a glimpse of Logan and immediately notice how tense his jaw is, but don’t dare to speak up. It’s clear my presence has brought enough tension as is and I don’t want to add more. After the tense, but thankfully peaceful word exchange, we return to enjoying the meal. For a moment there, I relax and so does my wolf, at least until Derrick clears his throat and turns his attention on me all over aga

Logan I stayed in the office with Derrick for hours, the wine flowed easily and by the time I left him there, I knew I had far too many drinks. By the time I return to my room, the alcohol has made my vision blurry and my head heavy. I’m uneven on my feet as I push the door open and step inside. I stumble over something, but I’m not sure what since the room is too dark and with the drunk state, I can’t force my eyes to focus on anything. To avoid running into something, I feel along the wall for the light switch, when suddenly, arms wrap around me from behind and I feel a body press against my back. My first reaction is to tense up, but when I realize it’s Katherine, I relax a little. “Logan, you’ve been working so hard lately,” she whispers, but her voice sounds too loud in the silence surrounding us. “You’re too exhausted and tense, let me help you relax,” she purrs and steps away a little to turn me around. I can barely focus on what’s going on, my eyes finally adjust to the

AmeliaThe next day, right after I wake up, I head out to have a walk in the garden. Fresh air and pretty scenery always helps me put things in perspective more easily. As I walk between the rows of beautiful flowers and listen to the distant sounds of birds, I smile to myself and decide that I really should reach out to Ethan so he can arrange my return to Deadfang. Just as I stop and want to open the mind-link, my wolf stops me. “Don’t rush, Amelia. It’s best you report to Alpha king first, otherwise he might see your decision as an attempt to flee. He would treat your behavior as disrespect, sometimes even betrayal." “Oh, shoot,” I mutter and quickly look around to ensure nobody is watching me. “You’re right, as always. Thank you for reminding me that, I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have you.” “Always welcome,” she almost purrs, clearly enjoying the praise. “So, I’ll just tell Ethan I want to go back as soon as possible and then, report to the king that I’m planning to l
