The Alpha's Forgotten Luna의 모든 챕터: 챕터 61 - 챕터 68

It had been three weeks since Cassius arrived in North Hollow, three weeks since my life began shifting in ways I had not planned and certainly had not prepared for. At first, every day had felt tense, like walking on unfamiliar ground, expecting it to crack beneath my feet at any moment. But slowly, something strange had begun happening—not calm, not acceptance, but a kind of reluctant adjustment that settled into the edges of my routine whether I wanted it or not.Cassius had not crossed the boundaries I set. Not once. That alone had surprised me more than I cared to admit. I had expected him to push, to test the limits, to find ways around the rules the way powerful men usually did when told no. But he hadn’t. Instead, he moved around the edges of our lives like someone who understood that even the smallest misstep could cost him everything. I had seen him leave early some mornings, dressed in formal clothes that reminded me too much of the Alpha he had become, heading back to his

The scream tore through the park like a blade.For a fraction of a second, everything slowed. The laughter around us faded, the movement of children blurred into the background, and all I could see was Selena’s small body slipping from the wooden beam. Her foot missed the edge, her balance gone, and then she was falling.My body moved before my mind caught up.I didn’t remember standing. I didn’t remember crossing the distance between the bench and the beam. One moment I was sitting beside Sienna, and the next I was running, my heart slamming violently against my ribs as fear surged through me like wildfire.Selena hit the ground hard.The sound of impact echoed louder in my ears than it probably was. She let out another cry, sharp and broken, her small hands clutching at the ground as panic took over her tiny frame.“S-Selena!” Kane’s voice cracked beside her, trembling with fear.Sienna didn’t move.That was what frightened me more than anything else.She stood frozen near the bench

For the first time in a long while, I found myself sitting outside the healer’s quarters with a heaviness that had nothing to do with fear of Selena’s injury. She is stable now. The doctor had reassured me again and again that it was only a sprain, that children healed faster than adults, that by morning she would be restless and complaining rather than crying. I should have felt relieved. I should have felt lighter.Instead, guilt settled into my chest like a weight I could not shake off.Kane sat beside me, leaning into my side, his small fingers clutching the fabric of my sleeve like he needed to anchor himself somewhere safe. His breathing had steadied, but the fear still lingered in the tightness of his shoulders. Every now and then, he would glance toward the closed door, his eyes searching, his lips pressed into a thin line.“I should’ve caught her,” he whispered again, his voice small and tired.My heart twisted painfully at his words.“You couldn’t have,” I said softly, pulli

That night settled over the house with an uneasy stillness that no one openly spoke about. Selena slept in Sienna’s room, her injured ankle carefully propped on pillows, while Camelia stayed nearby, insisting that she would keep watch through the night if needed. The house had grown quieter than usual, the kind of quiet that followed fear, where even the softest sounds seemed sharper than they should.But Kane did not sleep.He lay in his small bed, staring up at the ceiling, his blanket pulled halfway to his chest. The shadows cast by the moonlight outside shifted slowly across the walls, stretching and shrinking as branches moved in the wind. Normally, Kane would have fallen asleep quickly after a long day of activity, his breathing steady within minutes. Tonight, his body refused to rest.Something inside him would not allow it.His chest rose and fell unevenly, breaths coming sharper than usual. He shifted from one side to the other, curling into himself, then stretching his legs
