บททั้งหมดของ Rise Of The Broken Luna: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

~Logan~It has been a few days since the night we tried to summon Celina using black magic, and I still couldn’t believe that Celina actually rejected me. At first, when the pain hit, and I blacked out, rather than accepting that she rejected me, my first thought was that maybe it meant my mate was dead. In fact, it would have been better if she were dead rather than her having the nerve to reject me. But when my spies confirmed that Celina was alive in the Royal pack, I finally had to accept the harsh truth. The aching void left in my soul where my mate bond with Celina didn’t give me another option. The girl who once acted as if the world revolved around me actually dared to reject me!It was all because of that damned Derek. If he hadn’t coaxed her, she would have never left me, let alone thought of rejecting me. Remembering all she had done to get even a word of praise from me for the last three years, I let out a growl. If not for that bastard’s meddling, how could the woman who

~Celina~The moment I crossed the invisible barrier, I could feel the change in the atmosphere. Until now, the surrounding forest was filled with the chirping of birds, while there was no sense of any danger. The predators, sensing the danger from the werewolves, have been keeping away from us, and we had no trouble continuing our journey until now. But the moment we entered the Enchanted Forest, it was as if a switch was flipped. The silence surrounding us was so eerie that I had the sudden urge to make a sound just to break it. But I bit my lip, ignoring the urge. It would be foolish to draw attention to ourselves when I could already feel the sensation of being watched. Slowly, I turned back and, just as I suspected, I couldn’t see the men who had come with us anymore. It was as if we had stepped into another realm altogether, separate from the real world.Gulping, my hand flew to clutch Derek’s even before I made a conscious decision to do it.Derek, who was standing there silent

~Celina~The next morning, I woke up to find Derek standing in front of the cave entrance, his posture alert. I sat up suddenly, my vision clouding for a moment at the sudden movement. “Careful,” Derek said, staring at me. “Are you alright?” he asked, and I nodded.“I am sorry. I thought I would sleep for a couple of hours and change shifts with you later. I didn’t think I would sleep through the night,” I apologised, looking at him guiltily. I can’t believe I slept the entire night, leaving the Alpha King to guard me the whole time!“I don’t remember telling you that I need you to cover half the shift. Did I?”“You didn’t. But that is how it works when two people travel together, right? One guards while the other sleeps, and they take shifts. Not like what I did. I slept the entire time, and you couldn’t sleep the entire night. How is it fair?”“What about it is unfair?” Derek asked, and I stared at him in surprise. Huh?Derek stepped closer to me, looking too fresh for someone who

~Celina~“Logan? What are you doing here?” I asked in confusion, stepping back with each step he took towards me. But when I took another step backward, my foot touched water, and I froze. Slowly, I looked back and saw the stream right behind me. Another step and I will be falling right into it.I stopped walking backwards and straightened up, staring right at Logan. Once, I used to act as if the world revolved around him. But right now, all I felt when I saw him was annoyance. “Don’t be like that, Celina. You want to come back with me, right? You are just putting on an act because you want me to beg you for forgiveness and coax you to come back. Right?”Huh? A sense of déjà vu washed over me as I heard his words. I frowned at him, a vague feeling that I had already heard those words once rising in me. But where?“Admit it, Celina. You can’t live without me. You want to come back to me. Just forgive me and come back with me, alright?” He repeated, and I stared at him, feeling confused

~Celina~Tired after the ordeal we had to face inside the Enchanted Forest, both of us leaned against the tree silently. We waited until we were better before continuing our journey. We continued walking through the forest with occasional breaks, munching on our dry rations whenever we felt it was time for a meal. For a few hours, our journey remained peaceful without encountering any more trouble. But I knew it was only a matter of time before we stumbled into yet another trap in the Enchanted Forest. After leaving the stream, I had been wary of drinking the water from there, but since we were far enough from the source, I had decided to try it nonetheless, since I had already snapped out of the illusion once. To my relief, though it didn’t taste as sweet as it did when I first drank it, the water was completely fine and had no side effects either. As we paused, staring at the forked path in front of us, Derek took a map out of his backpack. It was given to him by the Elder a few y
