Semua Bab The Rise of a Forsaken Luna: Bab 71 - Bab 80

SERAPHINA~~“You shouldn’t go out today, Ina.” Kieran’s voice echoed through the corridor the second I stepped out of my chamber that morning. He was standing against the door to his bedroom, his eyes glued to my frame, and they were filled with worry that almost made me choke. “You know I have to, Kieran,” I whispered, my tone more friendly than formal because he called me Ina.Instead of Princess Seraphina. “What I know is that one of those idiots might be seeing a trap for you right now. You will be safer at home.” Kieran insisted, begging me without having to actually beg. I sighed, stepping closer to him until the scent of Lycan musk and the lingering medicinal smell of the cure filled my senses. "If I stay hidden, the mole wins, Kieran. They will know we’re onto them. We need them to believe that I have the recipe to the cure that healed you.”Kieran still didn’t seem convinced. Even though he was there last night when Damon told us the exact stories that Rexton was sup

SERAPHINA~~The ride to the hospital was a smooth one. I would have preferred to walk down here, but due to the traps we have set, I couldn’t. Damon had made preparations for my safety, but even as I walked into the hospital, something told me Kieran still wasn’t pleased. “Do you think something is wrong with Kieran?” I asked my Lycan as I walked past the waiting room, heading towards the lab, which had turned into his own private office since he got here. Kia queried, “What do you mean?”I hesitated but eventually voiced my thoughts to her. “Since I transferred my life force to kickstart his heart, he has been acting strange around me.” “He has always been strange around you, Sera.” “Huh, maybe more strange—” I added a bit more detail, hoping that she would understand what I meant. To my surprise, Kia cut me off and uttered, “For goddess’s sake, Sera. The man loves you, and he died, but you brought him back, screaming that he shouldn’t leave you. What do you expect from him

ALPHA REXTON~~It happened so fast… too fast for any of us to see or hear the action itself. But we did see and hear the consequences, and even though I had rushed to join the warriors in the search after Nicola and Seraphina were taken to the healing hall, we couldn’t find the bastard who did this. “This kind of incident has never happened before. It’s like the culprits vanished, leaving no trace at all.”That was what Jesse, the Royal Lycan Gamma, had to say. But I wasn’t having it. I was done pretending that I didn’t know who the suspects were and where they should be right now. “Come with me.” I barked orders at the Lycan warriors, including the gamma, without thinking about the strength they possessed. “All of you!” Fortunately, no one argued. They all followed me as I stormed towards the guesthouse. But on our way there, we barged into Lycan King Damon, who was even more livid than I was. King Damon didn't stop me. He didn't even slow down. He simply fell into step b

ALPHA REXTON~~I hated to admit it, but even Kane felt uncomfortable as I walked away from the guesthouse with Lycan King Damon, who didn’t stop storming off until he was far enough from the building. He stopped abruptly and turned around to face me. My legs threatened to lock up again, the muscle fibers twitching in anticipation of another soul-crushing command. I stopped a respectful distance away, my heart thudding a heavy, irregular pace against my stomach.For a long moment, Damon just stared at me. The golden fire in his eyes hadn't gone out yet, but it had settled into a low, concentrated simmer.Suddenly, the urge to apologize to him settled over me, and even though I tried to fight it, these words still found their way out of my mouth: “I’m truly sorry for letting you down, Lycan King Damon.” At this point, I couldn’t be sure if I was sorry because I sensed him as a threat or because I genuinely needed him to hate me less so I could still have a chance with Seraphina.

KIERAN~~“Okay, what the hell has been going on with you, Kieran!”She asked me that question a week ago. She… Ina had been in the hospital bed when she fired that question at me, but I could still hear her voice and the same set of words echoing in my head. It’s been a week, yet I couldn’t bring myself to face her because I still wasn’t sure it was the right time to tell her. And honestly? I wasn't sure my body would let me.“Your body?” Alan scoffed within me, his eyes rolling, “Yes, your heart stopped, but you have been recovering. In fact, you are fine… a coward but a healthy one.”I winced as the silent jab hit harder than any blow I had ever had. I gripped the edge of the washbasin, my knuckles turning white against the porcelain.“Shut up, Alan.” I exhaled softly. “I’m not being a coward. I just can’t tell her about my feelings now.” “Why not now?” My Lycan queried instantly. And I matched his energy, desperate not to look the opposite of my claims, “Because she is focus
