The Rise of a Forsaken Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

SERAPHINAThis couldn’t be happening.He wouldn’t come back with a pregnant woman clinging to his arm—not after everything we had been through.Don’t jump to conclusions, I told myself, even as my chest tightened painfully.Kia gritted at me, “No, Sera. She’s right there, so open your damn eyes!”I snapped them open, and to my dismay, she was still there beside him, her hand wrapped possessively around Rexton’s arm. She was gorgeous for someone who was heavily pregnant. So much better than I looked.My ache in my chest spread quickly when her long black hair fell over Rexton’s shoulder, and he did nothing to peel her off him. I stood still, watching everyone cheer and welcome him back home. Not once did his eyes shift to me, not even accidentally. It was as if he had forgotten that I was waiting for him. Yet, I kept waiting.“Seraphina.” The sound of him saying my name after months of heartache melted my confusion long enough for me to walk into his arms and take the hug I had been

SERAPHINA ~~The guilt glinting in the dark orbs I had fallen in love with did nothing to ease the pain coursing through me. “Seraphina.” I used to love it when he called my full name, but in that moment, I hated it, as it sounded more like a plea than the love he used to whisper to me.Shaking my head, I muttered, repeating the same question before I could back out, “W-what ar-re you doing?” Rexton snatched his hands from Dahlia’s inner thighs, rising from where he was sitting beside her. “I’m just taking care of her, Sera. Her feet are swollen because of her condition—“Her condition!” I cut him off, forgetting for a split second that he was the Alpha. Or maybe it was Kia’s rage that was blinding me as we recalled how I had to struggle alone with my swollen feet when I was pregnant with Celeste. Why does Dahlia have to enjoy everything I didn’t? “You’re the Alpha! You definitely don’t have to give her a body rub. You can command anyone else to do that.” Saying I was jealous

SERAPHINAI forced a messy, painful shift, the golden wolf emerging once more.With Kia’s energy completely drained, I shifted back into my human form the moment I crossed the border.Cold. Naked. Shaking.All I wanted was Celeste.But the moment I stepped into the main hall, the air turned lethal.“Where,” Rexton’s voice thundered, “have you been?”I barely looked at him. I just kept walking.I found Celeste in the nursery, and the second I held her, my chest loosened—just a little.“Put her down,” Rexton said coldly behind me.I froze.“Arlo is sick,” he continued. “You’re coming with me. Now.” "What does that have to do with me?" I ignored him.Rexton looked hesitant. "They said," he paused.“The boy carries an omen of the next Alpha. But his spirit is fractured. To heal him, he requires a blessing from both Alpha and Luna.”He turned to me, his eyes desperate but hard. "You will do this, Seraphina. For the sake of the pack."I stared at him. For a heartbeat, I almost laughed.I wa

ALPHA REXTON~~“Dammit!” I roared, hot fury blazing through my being like lava.Fuck, it burned. Not the whiskey I have been pouring down my throat for the last hour, but the memory of the embarrassment. “They are Lycans, Alpha…” Ethan’s voice still rang in my head even after thirty minutes. My Beta had looked at me with pity and terror as he delivered the report after my moment of shame, “We confirmed the scent markers and the one who c—challenged you… He has the command only a Lycan Royalty carries.”Lycans. Legend has it that they stay in the frozen Highlands, far from the borders of my pack. Yet they had walked into my pack, looked me in the eye, and humiliated me.My muscles still felt weak, but my pride was weaker. “You deserved it,” Kane, my wolf, snarled in the back of my mind. “You let them take our female. You let a stranger touch what belongs to us.”“She wanted to go!” I snapped out loud, pacing the room. “Did you see the way she looked at him? She didn't just run

SERAPHINA~~“There’s no way.”I couldn’t stop uttering those words under my breath. Not even when I sat at the long glass table to dine with the three people whose words and world have stunned me speechless. I stared at the lavish spread of food—delicacies I hadn’t seen all my life—but my stomach was in knots. Across from me sat Queen Serena and Kieran, while to my right sat the man who claimed to be my blood brother. The Lycan King.“It’s impossible.” Kia hummed with confusion. “I’m simply a wolf spirit, not a Lycan spirit.”Her statement forced words out of me. I muttered to no one in particular, “I’m an Orphan whom the Beta family of Crimson Moon Pack adopted. How could I possibly have a family?” A family like this?Queen Serena leaned forward, her hair shimmering under the chandelier. “Nineteen years ago, the Kingdom was attacked by forces we hadn’t learned to control. We were all so young, but you were the youngest.”“Our parents were slaughtered during the attack, and you
