A Luna for The Cursed Alpha 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

Lyra ’s footsteps echoed down the hallway, each one measured and deliberate.With each step, she inched closer to confirming the rumors swirling around the Alpha King.Pausing in her tracks, she gazed at the massive window, where the full moon illuminated the world outside, casting eerie shadows across the dark and quiet hallway. She took a deep breath, fixing her shawl, and summoning her courage before pressing onward, her determination unwavering. She had one goal in mind–to uncover the truth about her Alpha.“L-Luna, what are you doing here? I-I specifically warned you not to leave your chambers during the full moon,” The butler, who had just emerged from the room at the end of the hallway and locked it, stammered in panic. Concern and fear were evident on his slightly wrinkled face.“I’m sorry for not listening. It’s just that I think it’s unfair that I’m ignorant of my mate’s condition. I want to see for myself what kind of curse he’s really under, that way… I could understand

In the quiet room, a muffled sob broke through the stillness, filling the air with Lyra ’s heartache. Despite her outward strength in public, she was a different person when the night came, shedding tears in solitude. Once accustomed to the luxury of an elegant bed chamber, now she found herself in the attic, a place that amplified her feelings of loneliness and isolation.“Let’s escape,” a voice whispered in the back ofLyra ’s mind, belonging to Stella, her wolf.She clutched her pillow tightly, the tears ceasing at the sound of her wolf’s suggestion.Ever since she turned seven, Stella had been anconstant presence in her thoughts. Lyra couldn’t explain it, but she knew she’s a special case, she knew her wolf was always looking out for her, however, she only shifted once–there was one time during her coming-of-age when she was all by herself in the woods and managed to shift. Since then, she and Stella had an agreement not to shift again, at least until the right time has come.

Rhys stood at the sides, his knuckles white with tension as he watched Lyra ’s audacious behavior unfolds before him. He was itching to leap forward and yank her out of the hall, but risking the Alpha King’s fury was a whole other story.“What was going through her mind?” he muttered as he desperately tried to figure out how to put an end to her impulsive antics and make her see reason about becoming the Luna of the Alpha King.“Dad,” Rhys reached out through their mind link, looking at Alpha Aiden who stood alongside Luna Viola by one of the hall’s pillars. “Do something–”But before he could finish his plea, the Alpha King’s voice cut through the heavy silence that hung in the air after Lyra ’s bold declaration.“Very well,” Kian’s voice boomed, causing a collective gasp to echo through the room.Lyra stood there, frozen in disbelief. Had he really agreed so readily? She had always prided herself on being bold and daring, especially when she volunteered to be his Luna, but she n

The sound of knocking on the door startled Lyra awake, bringing her out of her deep sleep. She groggily looked at the ceiling,disoriented and confused, only to find herself lying on the bed instead of on the sofa where she was certain she had fallen asleep.Frowning, she rubbed her eyes and sat up, peeing at the sofa across the room, as if trying to remember how she ended up in bed.“Hmm, did someone move me?” she whispered to herself, her body slowly stretching as she turned towards the door at the sound of a woman’s voice after another knock.“Lady Lyra, are you awake already?”“Ah, y-yes. The unexpected formality of being addressed as ‘lady left her feeling flustered and slightly uncomfortable. In the noble titles used in this era, such formalities were already uncommon among servants and those of higher standing have ceased to exist, however, there were still individuals who clung to traditions and customs“May I come in? The Beta instructed me to attend to you and inform you th

“Come Here,” Lyra flinched as Kian’s voice suddenly reached her through their mind link. She hadn’t been expecting him to use it, especially not in order to tell her to come to him. Her eyes darted down to Rhys, who was still on all fours and visibly struggling. His heavy panting and trembling body caused her heart to race, knowing that things could quickly go wrong if this didn’t stop soon.“Didn’t you hear me? Come here, he won’t die.”the Alpha King commanded again, causingLyra gulped and hesitantly turned towards the balcony again. Just as she took a step forward,Rhys reached out and grabbed her ankle, preventing her from leaving.“H-help... Me.” A soft, pained whisper escaped his lips, barely audible. He sounded so weak as if he could die any moment. Lyra clenched her fists and bit her lip, torn between her hatred for Rhys and the sight of him in such pain. This was not the kind of suffering she had wanted for him. She had imagined him broken emotionally, but never physical
