All Chapters of Reborn of the Betrayed Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Mary, my engagement ring is missing.”Mary, who had been arranging my clothes in the closet with such efficiency, was caught mid-action. She turned around with her mouth open."Miss, this is serious! Why are you so calm?"This was also justified on her part. Any other person would be in a state of panic at that point. But I wasn’t. What I experienced was actually an element of detachment and curiosity on my part as well. This was the second time I had been reminded of my past life.Back in the day, I had been so angry at Jay for embarrassing me in the engagement ceremony that I decided to take the ring that he had given me and toss it into the cliff. I even lied that the ring was stolen by Samantha.Yet, this time felt different.I had kept the ring safely among the jewelry, and I had seen it a few hours ago when I started getting ready to go out. But now the ring is missing. The only person that has been in my room since then is Samantha.I almost laughed at the humor in that, but t

For the briefest of moments, I caught it, the fleeting trace of irritation crossing his eyes before he quickly concealed it behind the deceitful smile he had so carefully perfected just for me.“Melody,” he said, his voice soft, his eyes curving into the perfect crescent of love. “What are you doing here?”"I missed you," I said it with a playful, bold tone, the kind I'd always maintained. Before giving Harry a chance to withdraw, I stepped closer, wrapped my arms around his neck, and pulled him tightly in a hug. Then, acting as if I was taking a deep breath, inhaling the fragrance, which, before, I loved so much, I let out a sigh of relief.“You must have gotten busy and forgotten about me.”His chuckle hummed softly against my ear. "How could I?" he whispered. "From sunrise to sunset, you're the only one on my mind."Still holding on to me, I maneuvered myself forward, pushing my way through his place as he attempted to maneuver me away with subtle and imperceptible movements to ent

"Was it found in her room?” Jay asked with an edge of sharpness to his voice.“Yes, but it just so happens that the roommate was the thief this time,” the enforcer said.A whispering wave spread through the room like wildfire.“What? Did she get influenced by her roommate? "“Maybe… maybe she was the one who framed her roommate in the first place.”That last remark, coming from Olive, was exactly as I'd expected of her. Olive was my personal maid, second only to Mary. To be entirely honest with you, though, I never did consider Mary to be simply a maid.Olive addressed the rising throng, her voice with an impassioned authority that simply added fuel to the fire.‘Think about it,’ she said. ‘She’s the only person who had access to Miss Melody’s stuff at the same time that she had access to her roommate’s.’Another voice called out from the crowd. “Lydia has been here more than a year, and nothing has ever gone missing. Then the day after this new girl shows up, stuff begins to vanish.

Chaos erupted the moment the words left her lips.Jay shouted Samantha’s name, his voice breaking into a furious growl, and my father almost punched Jay in the face."You... you're lying!" It was my turn to put on a play so I put in my best work.I stumbled back as if the ground itself had betrayed me, and right on cue, Mary rushed forward to catch me. A single tear traced a slow, deliberate path down my cheek, my gaze locked on Samantha.She couldn’t hide it, not the way her lips threatened to curl into a triumphant, gloating smile, even as I feigned the complete and utter destruction of my world.“I’m not lying,” she said, her voice low but steady. Then, lowering her head with false humility, she delivered the final blow. “Jay is my mate.”“Samantha!” Jay’s voice cracked as he shouted her name, his whole body jerking forward as if he could erase her from existence with sheer will. His steps were heavy, desperate, but he stopped short when I finally spoke.“Jay... is this true?” My v

“She makes a very good point,” the Alpha King said, his voice resonating through the hall with authority.The Luna Queen beside him smiled warmly, her expression bright and approving.“But, my King,” Jay interjected, forcing a calm tone, “my friend says that if we let those rogues post at our borders, it could be a trap—they could be plotting an attack on our pack.”“You raise a fair concern,” the King acknowledged, his expression thoughtful. “We will not assign them to border patrol. However, we will consider Miss Melody’s suggestion to employ them within the market and provide them health benefits.”He turned his eyes to me, a subtle smile on his lips. I felt a wave of relief wash over me. The King had always shown me kindness, back when I was a child. Now, his support meant something far greater. The Alpha King held 20% of the kingdom’s voting power. Having him on your side wasn’t just helpful, it was vital. He was known to be difficult to impress, so hearing his public praise sent
