Reclaiming The Luna's Affection のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Nova’s POVI carried the tray carefully, every step poised, every breath calculated. The silverware clinked gently against the porcelain as I walked down the quiet hallway. The scent of warm bread, honeyed tea, and the seared meats Alexander liked most wafted into the air.I had watched the kitchen staff prepare it like hawks, correcting the garnish and sending back the tea twice until it was brewed perfectly.Only the best for him.And this morning… I’d bring it to him myself.I stood in front of the Alpha’s chamber door, a rush of anticipation coiling low in my belly. My hands were steady, my smile rehearsed. I knew the kind of woman Alexander wanted… soft when needed, obedient in public, but strong and beautiful enough to be worthy of his attention.I wasn’t going to be some passing mistress.I would become his Luna.As I opened the door quietly, I found him standing by the large window, shirtless, his back rippling with tension. He didn’t notice me at first, his thoughts seemed mi

Aurora’s POVThe room had gone deathly still.My gaze landed on Nova, her figure trembling oh-so-pitifully in Alexander’s arms. The act was flawless. Her voice, her tears, the way she buried herself into the Alpha’s chest like she belonged there.She didn’t.But no one else seemed to notice.Alexander’s parents looked shaken. Ruppert’s fists were clenched in rage. Lady Helena wore a mask of shock, torn between maternal affection and complete humiliation. And Alexander… he just stood there, holding her.In front of me.In front of everyone.It burned. Gods, it burned deeper than any blade ever could. But I would not let them see the blood.Instead, I stepped forward with perfect composure. My lips curled into the faintest, coldest smile, and my voice—steady, clear—cut through the silence.“Is that it for this morning?” I asked, tilting my head slightly. “If you’re done ruining my day, then let me leave.”Nobody moved. Not even Nova.I didn’t wait for permission.My steps echoed as I wa

Aurora’s POVCayden’s laugh filled the air, light and free like a breeze sweeping through the open windows of his infirmary.He was brewing something again—probably one of his disgusting yet miraculous teas—and humming an old lullaby from our childhood days. The air smelled like crushed herbs, lavender, and just the faintest hint of cinnamon. It felt safe here. Like nothing could touch me.Like Alexander Thorn didn’t exist.I sat on the cushioned bench near the far wall, watching the sunlight drape itself across the wooden floors like golden silk. My hands rested over my lap, still bandaged from the rose incident earlier, though the sting had long since faded.But it wasn’t the wound that brought me here.It was the emptiness.Cayden always knew how to fill it, even if just for a while.“You haven’t eaten,” he said gently, placing a tray beside me. “So I took the liberty of making your favorite—honey-glazed bread and apricot tea. I even pretended to chant over the kettle to bless it w

Aurora’s POVEveryday, I felt weaker and weaker. It’s almost as if something was sucking all my energy out and there was nothing I could do except lay on my bed and take a pause from assuming my position in the pack.“My lady…” Mary whispered as I looked at her standing.She was holding a tray in her hand with food. “You hadn’t eaten anything for breakfast so I brought something for lunch. This was braised pork, your favorite.”I forced myself to sit on my bed even though it is clear to me that I do not have enough energy to do so.“It’s okay, Mary.” I smiled faintly as I fixed myself so I could rest my back on the head of the bed. “I am not hungry.”She raised her brows at me, acting like she’s my mother. “I know you don’t want to eat anything because you’re still upset after what happened but… the people will start to worry about your health.”“As if.” I scoffed. “They are now probably spreading rumors about how the Luna is not so strong after all. How she felt threatened over a god

Aurora’s POVThe moment I stepped into my room, I felt myself exhale sharply. My palms were still trembling from the dinner table disaster, and honestly, I was one insult away from tearing that omega’s hair out. But instead, I shut my lips tight and walked away like I was made of ice.The door clicked shut behind me… and immediately clicked open again.Cayden slipped inside, closing the door with his foot. “You’re unbelievable,” he muttered, throwing his hands up. “How do you just sit there calmly while that she-wolf disrespects you in your own home?”I rubbed my forehead, feeling a headache forming. “I told you, Cayden… I do not want to stoop that low.” My voice came out tired, too tired.He stared at me as if he didn’t recognize me. “That’s it? That’s your defense? You let her insult your status, your place, your marriage, and you just—” He mimicked zipping his lips. “—say nothing?”I looked at him then. Really looked. He was angry — red-cheeked, pacing, all fiery. A part of me wish
