Luna Lana: The Alpha’s Reincarnated Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

LANAThe heavy silver doors of the grand hall swung open, and the sheer scale of the event hit me all at once.When Ashton had told me we were going out tonight, my mind had immediately jumped to some clandestine city business or a late night strategy meeting. Instead, he had clarified it was a fundraiser for a new werewolf hospital.It made sense that even a King had to show his face at charity events to keep the noble families and pack elders happy.As we stepped inside, the air, filled with the scent of expensive cologne and the underlying musk of powerful wolves, hit me.The hall was massive, probably funded by generations of noble donations. Healers in white robes mingled with wealthy pack elders and Alphas from distant territories.Seeing the different pack symbols on various lapels made my heart skip a beat. If the local Alphas were here, there was a very high chance Diego and Amethyst would be too. It had been two days since I’d seen them, two days since I had started living t

Diego“Goddamn it! Useless!” I barked as I hurled my glass across the room. It smashed hard against the wall and red wine dripped down the stone like."Useless!"My chest rose and fell fast as curses kept leaving my mouth before I could stop them.Sapphire. She had looked happy.No no, she didn't look happy. She WAS happy.She looked like she was thriving.So what exactly had that useless spy told me?I thought back to yesterday when Amethyst and I had sent that maid to watch her closely and report everything. The woman had returned and bowed like she had done a great job. She told me clearly that Sapphire was not doing well. She said Sapphire doubted herself and believed she was not fit to be Luna.That report had satisfied me and It had made me certain I still had control over her.And yet she stood up to me at that damned fundraiser.My fist slammed onto the table. The wood shook under the impact.“Damn her!”She had rejected me publicly days ago, shattered the mate bond like it me

LanaThe day had been quiet in a way I wasn’t used to.For the past few hours I had done almost nothing, which still felt strange to me because my life had never truly allowed idleness before. Well, I wasn't Lana anymore. But this peace, this thing where I didn't have to always look over my shoulder was entirely strange, still new to me. As Lana I had to vie for power, I had to be strong and beautiful and soft and ruthless at the same time. I had to be more.Now? I had to find work to do because I had too much time on my hands.Earlier during the day, I walked through the estate gardens and let the sun rest on my skin while I sat near the marble fountain. My little wandering today made me start noticing things I hadn’t seen before.For example, which guards watched the rooftops instead of the gates. Which maids did what job. Which corridors stayed empty longer than others. It was almost amusing how much a place revealed when I stopped moving and simply observed.At this point, I felt

LanaThe attendant stared at me in surprise. It was like she hadn't expected me to make any donations today.“Are you certain, Luna?” She asked with respect.“Yes. I'm certain.”“Of course, Your Majesty,” she said politely. “Shall I announce—”“No,” I said quietly. “I want it to be done anonymously.”Her brows lifted just a little, but she nodded. “Yes, Luna. The amount?”The moment I told her, her eyes widened before she could stop herself. “But–” I gave her a significant look and she quieted down, before nodding. “I understand.”She wrote it down quickly.I stepped away before anyone could question it. Across the room, applause suddenly erupted."Yeah! That's the power couple I know!" Someone cheered."Something tells me they're about to donate in millions!"I turned my head toward the source and to my surprise, It was Diego and Amethyst, standing on the stage.Diego held the microphone while Amethyst stood beside him smiling like she owned the world. Bitch, I seethed.“It is only

LanaI kept thinking about that damn kiss.It had caught me completely off guard because he had reached out and stolen it, except it didn’t really feel stolen because we were mates and mates were supposed to kiss, right?Still, the way he did it stayed stuck in my head. It hadn’t been rushed or forceful. It felt real.He did it with such warmth and certainty like he meant it. And shit, that was the part that messed with me the most. I wasn’t used to things feeling real. Not kindness, not closeness, not anything. Not after Diego but yet when Ashton kissed me, it felt real enough to scare me.I must’ve fallen asleep thinking about it because the next thing I knew, noise dragged me out of my little dreams.I groaned softly and pushed myself up on the bed. My hair fell into my face as another loud sound echoed from outside. It wasn’t shouting or fighting. It sounded busy with movement and voices. I also picked out the sound of things being dragged across stone.“What the hell,” I muttered
