Lahat ng Kabanata ng Wrong Bride, True Luna: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Logan Dinner comes along sooner than I expect. For the entire day, I admit, I’ve been walking around and moping after what happened yesterday. I still feel off about the situation, especially about the moment Amelia walked into the room. “Bring the food!” Derrick calls out, his loud voice pulls me out of my thoughts. I sit up a little straighter and look around as maids enter the dining room and present my favorite dishes. Katherine sits next to me and piles my plate so full, the food nearly falls over the edges of the plate. “Eat, Logan, the king made sure this dinner is set to your liking.” She encourages me as she drops another piece of meat on top of the pile of food. “Thanks,” I mutter and pick up the fork, but end up barely eating at all. While it’s true that every dish is prepared perfectly to my liking, I don’t taste the food at all. Everything reminds me of chewing cardboard, not a meal I’d genuinely enjoy. On top of that, my mind won’t calm down from the stupid though

AmeliaAfter I mind-link Katherine and announce I’m ready to accept her deal, I spend hours hiding in the bedroom, pacing. She sounded so pleased with my decision, even more than I feel comfortable with, yet I no longer feel like I can back out of the deal. Deep down, I have a bad feeling about her offer; my wolf is on the edge too, but I keep telling myself that I’m making the right choice—I’m doing this for the good of my baby. At dusk, I sneak out and head to the meeting spot where Katherine is already waiting. I assumed only the two of us would meet, but to my surprise, she’s not alone.“Finally,” Katherine groans in an annoyed tone. “You sure love taking your sweet time, we’ve been waiting for hours,” she exaggerates. Not wanting to get on her bad side, I flash her an apologetic smile. “Sorry, I had to make sure nobody saw me sneaking out.” “Whatever,” she grumbles and huffs. “What matters is that you made the smart decision and came here.” I nod slowly and look between Kat

AmeliaSneaking out of the building is the easiest part. Roy, to his credit, didn’t lie about knowing the territory and everything about the guard posts. As we avoid one of the posts, my foot catches on a rock and Roy catches me before I fall. “Be careful, there’s a lot of rocks out here. Try to keep your eyes on the ground,” he whispers gently. “Thank you,” I breathe out as he steadies me. Roy nods sharply, glances around the empty street, then clears his throat. “Maybe I should carry you?” He mutters and even in the darkness, I can see his cheeks turn a little red. I open my mouth to assure him I can walk, but before a sound can leave me, Roy bends down and scoops me in his arms, then starts walking like I weigh nothing. I wrap my arms around his neck to hold on while we cross another somewhat wooded area. “This is the last park of the Capital center territory,” he explains quietly. Looking around, I nod. “I didn’t tell you this yet, but I plan to leave through the northern bo

Logan“Well,” Derrick speaks up long before I manage to process everything. “I think it’s pretty clear that this accident is the result of Amelia attempting to flee the Capital without permission. She must have gotten her hands on someone’s car and caused the crash.” “No,” I growl and close my hand around the necklace. “It can’t be that. I refuse to believe it! Amelia isn’t irresponsible like that, she’s loyal to a fault and if she wanted to leave, she’d just tell you and ask for permission!” “Logan, don’t be ridiculous,” Derrick growls and glares at me. “You see everything with your own eyes, it’s clear what happened here. Don’t go around trying to excuse her doings—she didn’t just cause the crash, she also killed one of my guards!” Rage boils within me. I can’t believe my own cousin would go to lengths like this—to accuse Amelia of killing someone while she couldn’t hurt a fly is outrageous.Slowly, I turn my head to look at Derrick. “I don’t believe what happened here was just a

AmeliaSophia exchanges another quick glance with Nina, then clears her throat and squeezes my hand just a little tighter, “Amelia, listen, the decision was made only for your good.” “My good?” I choke out and try to pull my hand out of her hold. “How is taking the one thing I love doing from me anything good? I don’t get it.” “I get that this doesn’t look good,” she says softly and sighs. “But trust me, it is for the best. Alpha Ethan is worried about your health. You’re six months pregnant, he doesn’t want you to overwork yourself, so he made it clear that you must stop seeing patients, and instead, should focus on resting.”I can feel my face fall with disappointment. Working at the hospital has been the highlight of my days and if I don’t get to do it anymore, I’m not sure what I would do at all. Just sitting and doing nothing will make me lose my mind. “Don’t be upset,” Nina perks up and grins at me like she has all the answers in the world. “How about I provide you company or
