The Alpha’s Treaty, Now His Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

PENIEL“If you're trying to negotiate your way out of this, I suggest you don't. There's no use.” I said, lifting my chin. “Luciano will find us. He's probably already on his way here.”The Angel laughed, his eyes crinkling at the corners with amusement. “Is that what you really think?”“Yes,” I said, holding his cold gaze. “So rather, than waste your time, I suggest you tell me who put you up to this?”It was scary to watch how the amusement bled from his face. “Unfortunately, sweetheart…”“Don’t call me that,” I growled, cutting him off.He paused. His eyes narrowing just a fraction. “Fine, I won't. Despite what you think I do respect my guests.” he said. I gave him a stare, “Really?” I asked.He ignored it. “And as much I would love to answer all your questions,” he drawled. “We’re not here to discuss my employer.” “What do you want to discuss then? I already told you negotiating is useless”The man who called himself the Angel just smiled at my words, though it didn't reach his

PENIELThe women looked at me, waiting for an answer. "Ready for what?" The question hung in the air, thick with fear.“Listen, if the fighting starts,” I said slowly, the idea forming as I spoke, “they might forget about us. Or they might come in here to use us as shields. We can’t let that happen.”“But how?” Elara asked, her hands gripping the edges of her torn skirt. “How do we stop them? We're practically sitting ducks in here!”I looked at the metal door. It was strong. But it opened inward. And it had a simple, heavy bolt on the outside.“If they open that door,” I said, “we won't let them close it again.”I pointed to the mothers with the youngest children. “You, take the kids to the far corner. Keep them down, cover them with whatever you can find.” I pointed to the stronger-looking women, including Elara. “The rest of us, we hide by the walls, next to the door. When it opens, we rush them. All of us at once. We don’t fight to win, we fight to run. We get the children and we

PENIELHis clothes were disheveled, and a long scratch marred his cheek. His cold eyes were wide, not with fear, but with a frantic, furious energy. In his hand, he held a long, curved knife.“Going somewhere, Luna?” he asked, his voice tight.As if on cue, we heard a long howl.Filled with anger and fury, and it was getting closer.Luciano was here. He had found us.Around us, the sounds of fighting only intensified. Snarls, the crash of bodies, furious growls, cries of pain.The Angel’s head snapped up, his facade finally cracking. His eyes went wide for a split second before they hardened.Surprise, then sharp understanding flashed across his face in quick succession.“He’s here,” I said, unable to keep the hope from my voice.The Angel’s eyes met mine. For a second, I saw pure, icy anger. Then it was gone, replaced by cold calculation. “Oh really?” He drawled.I barely had time to dodge, when he lunged. “I'm leaving with you!” He snarled.I pushed Elara behind me, “Don’t you know

LUCIANOWe finally reached the main road. The drive back to the pack felt endless. My body ached. My mind kept replaying it, the Angel’s cold words, the spray of Rhea’s blood in the mud, the sounds of gunshot. Peniel’s hand was in mine, her grip tight.When we got back, the pack house was lit up like a Christmas tree. People swarmed the yard. Warriors stood guard on the walls. Mothers cried as they hugged children who had made it back. The air was thick with the sound of crying, talking, the groans of the injured.I helped Peniel out of the SUV and kept my arm around her as we walked inside. She leaned into me, her steps slow. The doctor had set up a makeshift clinic in the great hall. I saw Rhea on a cot, people working on her. She was still out of it.The head doctor saw us looking. “She’ll make it,” he said, wiping his hands on a towel. “The bullet went clean through. She lost a lot of blood, but you know Rhea…” he shrugged, giving us a luttle smile, “She’s strong.”Peniel nodde

LUCIANOShe flinched. “I… the rogues were everywhere. I was told to get to the safe room, I'd assumed she'd be in there too.”“You were in the main house,” I said, stepping closer. “Peniel was in the sunhouse with the other women. A place you were also supposed to be at, but due to whatever fucked up reasons you had that day… you weren’t.”She looked away, guilt shining in her eyes.I stepped closer, glaring at her. “Let me ask you this… Did you even try to find her? Did you even think!... about your own goddamns daughter before hiding away like a scared rat?”The words hung in the air, sharp and accusing.Nadia’s face crumpled. She looked down at her hands. Shame rolled off her in waves, so strong I could smell it. “I was scared,” she whispered, her voice breaking. “I heard the screaming… I saw the blood… I just ran. I thought… I thought she would be with the warriors. That she would be safe. I didn’t know she was out there all alone.”A sob escaped her. She covered her face with he
