Alpha’s Rue: His Shunned Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

KINGSTONAround three hours ago it started raining, and for over five minutes, it has progressively turned vicious. It’s barely raining, but thunder and lightning continue to break, as if the sky is splitting open.Rowan and I are working on recruiting more patrol officers without leaving the detention offices understaffed when lightning strikes for the sixth time in three minutes and all I can think of is Aeliana.I don’t realise I’m moving until Rowan calls me. “Kingston, where are you going?”“To check on Aeliana,” I say, already halfway through the door.“It’s half past one,” he reminds me. “She’s sleeping.”It is, but Aeliana is afraid of thunder, and when it roars again, I leave without an explanation, racing up the stairs to her room. More than half the house is asleep and when I get to her room, the door is slightly open.The room is dimly lit from the open windows and she’s lying in the middle of the bed, asleep. At least I think she is, but when I get closer I realise her mi

DANIELLEI’m having a late breakfast by myself when Aeliana walks into the room. “Good morning,” she greets, her voice a little hoarse but she seems more energetic today.“Good morning,” I say, watching her. Her hair is washed, styled in a messy bun above her head, and she’s wearing a new robe. “Lillian,” I call out to the maid who just served. “Come and serve Luna Aeliana!”“I’m good,” she smiles. “I can do it myself.”“Nevermind,” I call out to Lillian, my eyes shifting back to Aeliana.She pulls out a chair and sits, her nose crinkling when she does. “Some storm last night huh?”She nods, serving herself.I’ve been trying to connect with Aeliana, but it's proving to be hard, more so because she hasn’t interacted with me as much lately. “I couldn’t sleep, I was watching some fashion show and picking out what I’m spending Rowan’s money on next.” I tell her, “What about you?”Her eyes meet mine, and she shakes her head. “Nothing,” she says, the lie ro

“Can you stop screaming?”“I don't know!” I snap, “Can you stop interfering with my life? I married you, I ignore every wrong you do, so stop it. Why did you have to bring my Noah into this?”“Aeliana—”“No,” I choke out, my voice breaking. “Was ruining my career not enough for you? You had to stick your claws in hers too!” I sob, the tears falling free now. “The one sacred thing I had left, and you touched her, you tainted her fucking journey, you ruined her efforts!”“I’m sorry,” he swallows. “I was just..”“What’s with you anyway? You take a job from me then find one for her!”He moves closer, “Ellie, if this is about the job, I can talk to the board at Vale University, and we can work out something to—”“No, shut your dirty, conniving, meddling mouth,” I warn, my breathing hitched. “This isn’t about the fucking job. It’s not about me, it's about you! You crossed the line, you should have left my Noah alone, but no..” I suck in a breath. “You dragged her to a place where she knows

She can’t stop sobbing. “I’m sorry, Luna Estelle.”“Let it out. You’ll feel better.” I urge, “And when you do, we can work on your confidence towards leadership. You’ve forbidden me from interfering in your marriage, and I won’t, but you’re my little Luna prodigy.” I smile, “And I’ll make sure you feel worthy when you receive your ordainment. The future of this pack is in your hands.” I tell her, pausing when I realise how much pressure that must have put on her. “But it’s okay,” I whisper. “You’re okay.”She doesn’t say anything more, she silently sobs, her tears soaking my dress. I keep comforting her in silence until she finally falls asleep. Even then, she twitches like she’s crying in her dreams still.“Mom?” Kingston calls from the door, watching carefully, unsure if he should come in or not.“She’s asleep.”He comes in, staring down at her. “I’ll take her.”“Not so fast,” I say, pointing to the sofa opposite me. He hesitates, but sits regardless. “Now, what have you done to thi

“Noah Fren,” she smoothly counters, flashing me a bright smile. “You’re a stuck-up bitch!”“Stop it,” Kingston orders, eyes flickering between us. “Both of you. There’s no need to fight, why don’t you try getting along? You two are more alike than you think.”Noah gasps, her hand flying to her chest in nothing short of a dramatic movie display. “My, oh my, is it because I’m blonde too?” She hisses. “Don’t do that again,” she warns, and he just lets her. “And you, girl he compared me to...” she trails off, her eyes meeting mine. “Never gonna happen, that’s why I turned down your salon offer to do an ad.” She tells me “You can have everything, him, his friends, her sister, the pack of idiots, the card, but not me.” She snaps, “No ma’am, I’m the one thing you can’t have that my Aeliana does.” Her lips curve into a wide smile. “Sorry, Alpha Kingston, but you can’t steal me from my Aeliana. And it must be killing Blondie.” She says, shaking her head while staring us both down with disdain.
