บททั้งหมดของ Rise Of The Broken Luna: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

~Derek~Tension rose in the air as I stared at Logan. He had the nerve to tell Celina that he would make her his mistress? Not even in his dreams!Logan stood across from us, glaring at me, but the unshaken confidence from earlier was now missing. Even though he tried to mask it, I could sense his unease. The people at the edges had shifted too, subtly, but enough. They were no longer just watching. They were waiting for something to happen.I let the silence stretch for a while before stepping forward calmly, but still Logan flinched before he could catch himself. And then he glared at me with even more venom, as if blaming me for his instinctive recoil.“I didn’t come here for idle chatting,” I said, my voice even. “You know why I am here.”It wasn’t a threat or a warning. Just a fact.Logan’s gaze sharpened, irritation flickering again as my Alpha authority pressed against him, overshadowing his own. He didn’t like being reminded that I was more powerful than him.“Titles don’t mea

~Celina~Everything felt different suddenly, and I knew my wolf instincts were returning. It unfolded slowly, like something relearning how to exist, each sensation returning in fragments. The cold of the night touched my skin first, sharper than before, as though every nerve had been reborn. Then came the sound, distant at first. The clash of bodies, the growls, the heavy thud of impact, all of it pressing closer, clearer, until it settled into something real again.And beneath it all, something else shimmered.Something that hadn’t been there before.Or perhaps something that had always been there, simply waiting.I drew in a breath, and it felt different. Deeper.Fresher. Like something heavy had lifted off my chest. The air moved through me without resistance, and for a brief, disorienting moment, I didn’t recognize my own body. Everything just felt different. My heartbeat felt stronger, but not steady. My muscles held tension that hadn’t been there before. My senses stretched out

~Celina~Once Logan was apprehended along with his loyal followers, I turned to Derek, assessing him to see if he was fine. “You got your wolf back,” he said just as I looked up. It was not a question but a statement. The Alpha King’s eyes didn’t miss the change in me even though it wasn’t visible to the naked eye.“I did,” I said, the words tasting sweet.Derek nodded, as if he hadn’t expected anything less.Now that I had gotten my wolf back, and the danger had ceased, my attention immediately drifted back to Katie. I had once forgotten her and ended up risking her life. Never again.“Where is Katie? How is she?” I asked, worry gripping my heart. I knew she was safe, but that didn’t mean she must be unharmed. Knowing Logan and Clara, there must be no way they would have spared my closest ally in this pack. I could only hope I wasn’t too late. That she wasn’t hurt too badly.“She is fine. Injured but fine. My men had already taken her back to the Royal Pack.”I heaved a sigh of reli

~Derek~Ever since Celina had regained her wolf, I had been watching her. The pull that I felt for her was stronger now with her wolf, and even Noah had recognised it. Still, it wasn’t akin to recognising a mate bond, but a connection that couldn't be named. I watched as she grew stronger every day, training harder each day while trying to find her own identity when everything had changed. Relearning to exist with her wolf and her powers, but without showing any hint of exhaustion. I knew she wanted to become the best version of herself, and I admired that about her. That was why I didn't feel surprised when she came to me, asking for a duel. As I stared at the quiet resolve in her eyes, I knew she didn’t want this fight to defeat me or even prove something to me. She wanted to test herself, challenging her strength and pushing her limits. And that was why I agreed to her demand. Once the duel started, everyone crowded into the arena, watching with even more fervor than they had dur

I sat on the prison cell floor, my eyes closed as the fresh wounds on my back continued bleeding. Pain had lost its meaning now. Not because it had lessened, but because it existed constantly now. The beatings had become a mere routine by now. The guards always tried out new methods to torture the traitor who had dared to attack the Alpha King.The cell was narrow, damp, smelling of mold, urine, and filth. Iron bars of the cell were reinforced and marked with symbols meant to suppress. They didn’t need to tell me what they were for. I could feel it. The dulling of instincts, the way my wolf stayed quieter than he should, pacing somewhere just beyond reach, restless but restrained. I glared at the iron bars with resentment. Well, it didn’t matter. They could cage the wolf, but they couldn’t cage what I knew. I had been an Alpha. That didn’t disappear because I was locked behind iron and stone. It didn’t vanish because Derek chose to call this place justice instead of what it really was
