Semua Bab The Rise of a Forsaken Luna: Bab 101 - Bab 110

ALPHA REXTON~~“Do I make myself clear, Nicola?” I added. I had to because I knew he wasn’t scared of me. I knew guilt was eating him up, and even though a part of me wanted to apologize to him, I knew this wasn’t the time to be weak. Nicola’s hesitation twirled in his old, wise eyes, forcing me to add harshly, “That’s an Alpha order, Nicola. I’m dead serious.” His shoulders slumped, the weight of my Alpha’s command causing him to bow his head. I sighed, reliving flooding my system, and I went back to waiting for him to make more bottles of the enhancing liquid. But that relief shattered as fast as it settled within me. Hell! It didn’t even last a second, not when her familiar scent hit me suddenly… too suddenly. One second, I couldn’t perceive her, but the next, it felt like she was standing right beside me—“Princess Seraphina. You come back!” Nicola exclaimed, masking his shock and fear. But he failed to hide his eagerness to deceive her with a smile.I turned, my heart

KIERAN~~She was crying again. And as much as I would gladly be the man who gets to hold her when she is vulnerable, consoling her and wiping her tears, I hated this. I hated seeing her cry. I despise watching her break… and I would rather take her pain away than sit here, doing absolutely nothing, while she cried her eyes out.“She’s been with him. His scent is all over her.” Alan murmured within me, his own sadness towering over Ina’s. I perceived her even before she got close to the door, and joyfully, I ran to welcome her as Celeste would. Only to see that she was pale and trembling… just because of him. Rexton.I wondered what he did this time as Seraphina and I settled on the biggest couch in the living room. Serena was out doing some Queen duties, and the servants had been dismissed to prepare for the brewing storm. Celeste was also in her bedroom. Probably taking an afternoon nap, leaving just Ina and me in the living room, which meant no one but me was around to see

SERAPHINA~~In two months, Celeste would be five years old, and in six months, I would have been waiting six years for Rexton’s genuine apology. I had stupidly thought I got that weeks ago, before I took him to the library. However, I have woken up from my dreams and seen him for who he truly was. A manipulative bastard who took me out of the lab so Nicola could do his bidding. So when he started the conversation with another apology instead of his usual demands and annoying remarks, I wasn’t stunned that it had zero effect on me. I watched him through the veil of my indifference, my arms folded tightly over my chest. I didn't feel the heat of the bond because Kia had helped me keep it in check. I also didn't feel the spark of the girl who used to dream of his return. I felt nothing for him in that moment. Not even when he added, “I have wronged you in many ways. I let myself be fooled by a strange woman. I let myself fall into a trap and genuinely believed she was my destined

ALPHA REXTON~~I was a selfish bastard. I was fully aware of that fact. But what choices do I have? Let her go? Let the only woman I have ever loved slip through my fingers again because I was too scared to fight for her? Hell no!I would rather give in to this pain and let it kill me than give up on Seraphina and me again. “Then I would rather take my chances in this hell, Rexton.”Just like she said, hell would be better than letting her go. For her, being with me was worse than this hell. But for me, accepting her rejection would be ten times worse than this hell we were both trapped in. Call me selfish, but I couldn’t care. I—I loved that woman. And a part of me had hoped she wouldn’t be as selfish as I was. That she would pity me and be selfless. That she would consider my pain and change her mind. Yes, I wasn’t just a selfish bastard, but I was a manipulative one as well. I would do anything to get Seraphina’s love back. I would be any kind of person to make her see

SERAPHINA~~I tried to sleep through the pain, but it was impossible. The fractured bond kept me up all night, and in turn, I kept Kieran up all night, groaning and tossing around within his arms. And not once did he complain. If anything, he held me tighter and whispered comforting words to me all night. “How are you feeling?” Kieran asked from behind me, using his fingers to draw circles on my stomach. My back was to his chest, but I knew he could tell how I was feeling. “Terrible.” I still responded, though, turning around to look at him. Kieran’s eyes were bloodshot, the dark circles under them a testament to a night spent on guard for me. He looked at me with so much tenderness that it made the fractured bond ache even more.“I hope I don’t look as terrible as you do.” I managed to crack a joke. A not-so-funny one, but Kieran still smiled, brushing my disheveled hair out of my face. “I can bet the whole realm you look worse, Ina.” He countered with one of his, his sm
