Semua Bab DR LUNA: The Lycan's Stolen Heir : Bab 11 - Bab 20

AriaThe silence in the room was heavy. I stood at the door, Leo still clinging to my neck like a leech. He was small and hot with fever, but his grip was surprisingly strong. It was like he was afraid that if he let go for even a second, I’d vanish into thin air.Dante hadn't moved from the doorway. He was just watching us, his golden eyes narrowed and his jaw still tight. He looked like he was trying to solve a puzzle he didn’t have all the pieces for. Vesper stood behind him, her hand still hovering near her holster. She looked like she wanted to pull me away, but the look on Leo’s face kept her back.Suddenly, a loud, long rumble echoed from Leo’s stomach.The boy tensed up, looking embarrassed, and buried his face deeper into my shoulder. I felt a small tug at my heart. He was actually like such a baby now, unlike earlier. He was starving, but was too stubborn to admit it.I looked up at the nanny, who was still hovering near the door, looking terrified. "He’s hungry. Can you pr

AriaIt was a marriage certificate. My name was already printed there next to his, waiting for a signature that would tie my life to his forever.I felt a surge of cold fury, being the only wolfless doctor to him, was he trying to tie me down to him."You’re joking. You honestly think I’m going to sign this? I want nothing to do with you, Dante. You’re my abductor. You’re a criminal."Dante didn’t look bothered by my outburst. He just leaned back in his leather chair, lazily crossing his arms over his broad chest. He looked so calm, so cocky, like he had already won and was just waiting for me to catch up."It’s for your own good, Aria," he said. His voice was smooth, like he was talking about a business deal instead of my life. "The world is a dangerous place for a woman with your...history. This paper keeps you safe.""Safe?" I let out a sharp, jagged laugh. "I was safe in New York. I was safe in my own home until you showed up

AriaI blinked, waiting for it to happen again, but it was gone. His eyes were back to that dull, empty black.I must be seeing things. I had to be. The stress of the kidnapping, the forced marriage, and the lack of sleep were finally making me lose my mind. Yet still, a small, desperate part of me wanted to believe. It wanted to believe that this boy was the miracle I had been praying for six years ago. I wanted him to be my son, the baby they told me didn't survive that night in the snow. The baby I was paid for.I shook the thought away. It was impossible. I sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out, gently taking his small, thin hand in mine.Leo didn't notice me at first since he was staring up at the ceiling, his expression blank and distant. I followed his gaze. High above us, the shadows were swirling in a slow, hypnotic circle. They looked like smoke caught in a gentle breeze, but there was no wind in this room.He was doing it. He was controlling them."How do you know

AriaEvery breath I took felt like I was swallowing a mouthful of broken glass. The pain in my stomach was no longer just a sting; it had turned into a slow pulsing that radiated through my entire body. My skin felt clammy, and the roar of the helicopter blades above us sounded like they were inside my own skull.But even through the haze of the toxin, I couldn't help but find the situation a little bit amusing.I looked at Dante. He was hunched over the controls of the helicopter, his knuckles white as he gripped the stick. His jaw was set so tight I thought his teeth might shatter, and his golden eyes were fixed on the horizon with a terrifying intensity. He looked like he was watching his entire world go up in flames. Which was strange considering we'd just met like yesterday."Are you...obsessed with me, Dante?" I wheezed, the words catching in my throat. I tried to make it sound like my usual teasing self, but it came out as a pathetic rasp. "Can't bear to see me... kick the buck

Aria I finally open my eyes, and I'm no longer staring at the white ceiling tiles of my hospital's private wing. Instead I see heavy dark wood beams and faint carvings on a ceiling I don't recognize.This isn't the island. But it's not my hospital either.I tried to move but my body wouldn't let me. Every muscle ached, plus my throat felt dry. I shift my hand slightly, wanting to reach for water I hope is on the nightstand, but I feel a weight holding me down.I look to my side and Leo is there. He's sitting in a chair that looks far too big for him, his small body curled up as he rests his head on the edge of the mattress. His hand is wrapped tightly around mine, his fingers interlaced with mine like he's afraid I'll go away if he lets go. He's fast asleep, his breathing soft and steady.A small smile touches my lips. Despite the kidnapping, the forced marriage, the poison, everything, seeing him there makes something in my chest loosen. I reach out with my free hand and gently str
