All Chapters of His Banished Luna Returned With Triplets : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ava's POV"You're even cheaper than I imagined!" Lucy sneered, her words flying out like venom as she spat them. Her hold on my wrist was ironclad, the space between us buzzing with raw hostility.She abruptly flung my hand aside, her glare burning with rage. "I don't have the luxury to squander on a human-obsessed slut!"Each syllable landed like a sharp blow, cutting deep. I studied her, racking my brain to fit her into the pack's lineup. Not the healer—Raven was already filling that spot. Definitely not some lowly servant. A lover? No chance—she carried way too much clout for that.Her nails shot out, taking me by surprise. "You don't fit in here, slut!" she shrieked, lunging straight at me. I sidestepped her attack, extending my own claws to defend myself, ready to strike right back.Right as we were on the verge of clashing full force, Liam stepped in between us. "Ava, stop it!" he commanded, his tone rigid and strained, like he was holding back a storm inside.She moved like lig

Ava's POVI went cold right where I stood when Liam’s shout echoed my name, my gut twisting into a pretzel. What in the hell could he be after this time? My nosiness got the upper hand, and I edged closer to the bank, my eyes pulled toward him like a magnet. His expression was loaded with anticipation as he lingered there, his stare challenging me outright."What do you want from me?" I barked, retreating a step as his fingers reached for mine. "What's your deal? Looking to shame me even more?"He ran his tongue over his lips, dragging it out in a filthy way, like he was craving something nastier than whatever Lucy had done to him back in that room. It was repulsive, no two ways about it.“Just chilling, no big deal," he drawled casually, closing the distance, his tone gravelly and raw. Damn it all, his seductive act was tearing through my thoughts, and my wolf—that backstabbing creature—let out a content rumble from deep within."Not happening," I growled, shaking my head fiercely.

Ava’s POVStrong hands clamped onto my shoulders, and a low, reassuring voice sliced through the shadows. “Follow me, okay?”That tone sent a chill straight down my spine, rooting me to the spot. I couldn’t resist, so I let this unknown person lead me, already figuring it was a man from his deep murmur.We slipped away from the room’s entrance, my knees shaky like they could buckle any second. Then Liam’s voice echoed behind me. “Nobody out here, Lucy,” he muttered, right before the door banged closed.I kept pace with the stranger, my boots scuffing softly against the icy stone ground. His grasp was light, no sharp nails digging in, nothing like Liam’s brutal hold that had ripped into my wrists before. This man’s touch felt almost gentle, easing over my skin as he guided me down the dim corridor. Even so, terror gripped me hard, and I didn’t dare pull away, just hoping like hell I’d make it through to see my triplets one more time.The packhouse was eerily still, most of the staff an

Ava’s POVSteve's revelation hit me right in the gut, solidifying the most horrifying nightmare I'd ever imagined. My thoughts flashed back to the last time I'd held my triplets—those tiny, squirming fingers, their giggles ringing in my ears. My throat constricted, my pulse hammering so fiercely it felt like it might explode. I clutched at Steve's arm, my nails digging into his skin. "Tell me this isn't happening, Steve! Tell me it's some twisted goddamn illusion!” I cried out, my words ragged and shaky.He clamped his palm over my mouth in a flash, his eyes bulging, darting wildly around the shadowy courtyard like danger was lurking just out of sight. "Quiet, Ava, keep it down," he breathed, his tone commanding yet hushed. My inner wolf was boiling with fury, itching to unleash, but I reined it in, forcing myself to settle. My breath evened out, and Steve slowly pulled his hand away, eyeing me cautiously, as if unsure I'd keep my cool.“You know I'd lay down my life before letting ha

Ava's POV"Haul her back in!" Liam's roar echoed from the council chamber, rattling the stones like a damn tremor. The sentries didn't waste a second, their fingers digging into my shoulders, whipping me around so quickly I almost lost my footing. My face still throbbed from Lucy's smack, and my brain was reeling, scrambling to wrap around that filthy lie about Steve and me.We burst back into the space, the earlier uproar now hushed into a creepy calm. Steve knelt before Liam, his arms roped tight, his expression blank but his gaze shouting betrayal. My gut twisted at the view—Steve didn't deserve this crap."This crap is a total enigma," Liam began, his tone loaded with disappointment, like he'd been betrayed himself. "I counted on my beta not to pull this bullshit."I couldn't just hang back and let Steve take the heat. I jerked against the sentries' hold, frantic to break loose, to yell that this was all bullshit, but their grasps were like iron talons, unyielding. My inner wolf r
