All Chapters of The Lycan King's Luna Healer : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Emily's POVI focused more on my work, doing everything I could to avoid crossing paths with Malric, but it wasn’t entirely possible.Even when we did cross paths, he never made any attempt to start a conversation. No lingering glances. No tension-filled pauses. Just distance.I found it strange that I almost wanted to hate how awkward things had suddenly become between us. This wasn’t how I had imagined it would turn out. But I kept my explanations to myself. The friendship we once had felt gone now, and I knew I had to behave properly, speak when necessary, remain respectful, and never cross lines again.The evening before the Moon Ascendance was chaotic. Work was hectic as everyone prepared for the ceremony.I had never truly experienced the Moon Ascendance before, even though it was a rite every werewolf was meant to witness. In Ravenwoods, Adrian’s parents would host a small celebration the following day, and my mother and I were always busy cooking for it. I never had the chance

Emily’s POVMorning came too quickly.I don’t think I slept. Not really.Every time I drifted off, it was the same dream chasing me out of sleep. I saw chains around my wrists, heat and heavy smoke curling around me or worse, Malric baring his fangs at me.I couldn’t tell if it meant something. Or if my fear had simply crawled into my sleep and made a home there.I sat up slowly. My body still aching like I hadn’t slept at all.It was way past training time, yet Malric didn’t come for me. For one foolish second, I wondered if he had finally agreed to erase me from his training routine now.Then I remembered the ceremony taking place today. The Moon Ascendance. Right. That had to be it.I pushed myself out of bed to get prepared immediately.It was mandatory for everyone to attend except for the few chosen maids who would remain behind with the guards to secure the palace.I bathed, dressed quickly and stepped outside.Outside, the palace was already loud. Formal robes. Polished armor

Emily’s POV “I…I was only trying to talk to her,” Adrian stuttered immediately at the Lycan Prince’s harsh tone.Lucien took a slow step toward him. Adrian tried to hold his ground but failed, flinching instead.“What I saw didn’t look like talking,” Lucien said, his voice dropping to a dangerous low.I could sense the tension in the air. Lucien might be friendly and sometimes playful, but he was still a Lycan. And Lycans could be very unpredictable.“Lucien…” I interrupted quickly. “He’s an old friend. I just don’t want anything to do with him anymore.”I didn’t want Lucien getting involved. I appreciated the help, but Adrian didn’t need to think I required protection. One day, he and his parents would pay for everything they’d done.Lucien shot Adrian one last cold glare, a silent warning, before turning back to me.“Are you alright?”“Just a scratch,” I said quickly. “But I need to find Piper. She might have…”“She’s with the other maids,” Lucien cut in. “I didn’t see you with the

Emily’s POVI looked at Lucien, his expression made it obvious he wasn’t leaving without me.I swallowed and shifted my gaze to Malric. His jaw was tight, patience thinning with each heartbeat.Could they both really misbehave here?I couldn’t risk waiting to find out. My life was on the line. If Sharina exposed me, none of them would hesitate to tear me apart. “Lucien,” I said quickly, heart hammering. “Can you give me a few minutes? I need to tell the king something.”He hesitated, then finally nodded, stepping back.Malric’s tongue pressed against his lower canine, a humorless scoff escaping him. His storm-grey eyes narrowed at Lucien, burning with lethal warning.“M-malric,” I called softly. His head slowly turned to me, his eyes still carrying that barely contained fury.“I…can…” I didn’t even know how to ask again that would not further aggravate his anger.Before I knew it, he gripped my wrist and pulled me away from the dance floor, leading me outside and out of the crowd’s p

Emily’s POV I lay on the backseat of a guest’s car that had attended the palace event. Piper lay beside me, both of us hidden beneath heavy clothes.In my desperate attempt to run away from the palace, I had spotted the guest in his car, about to drive out. So I pleaded with him, saying I needed to leave the palace for an urgent reason.“Are you not the one I saw beside the lycan prince inside the pavilion?” he had asked, his bulging eyes scanning my face.Damn it. I had forgotten people had seen me with Lucien when we stepped inside.“Y..yes. I… I need to leave immediately for something important,” I had lied, praying he wouldn't refuse me, or worse, report me to the palace authorities out of suspicion.Instead, he squinted at me as if examining my face more closely. Then, without hesitation, he asked me to get in.Just then, Piper came running toward me, shouting my name.“Emily?!”My heart nearly jumped into my throat. How could she interfere at a time like this?“Where are you go
