Luna Lana: The Alpha’s Reincarnated Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

AshtonI didn’t kiss her just because I wanted to. I kissed her because something in me needed to.That was the part I couldn’t quite explain, even to myself, as I walked down the corridor away from her chambers. My steps were steady, controlled like always, boots quiet against the polished floor, posture straight, expression blank. Anyone who saw me would think nothing had changed.But something had.I didn’t do impulsive things. I didn’t act on urges. I didn’t let instinct take control unless it involved battle or strategy. Yet with her, I had, without hesitation, kissed her like it was the most natural thing in the world.It wasn’t just the kiss.I spoke to her last night. Actually, I spoke about my father and sister. Things I hadn’t told anyone in years.Hell, I hadn’t even thought about those memories in a long time, yet the words had come easily when I stood in front of her holding that drink.That alone was strange enough.I didn’t open up. I didn’t reminisce. I didn’t share pi

DiegoShit.He just asked me what I was up to. Did Sapphire tell him something? Did she accuse me again? Maybe she found something. Wait, did someone talk?Fuck! Did that useless maid mess up?I forced my face still before any of that panic could leak out.“I’m not sure what you mean, Your Majesty,” I said, with a calm and perfect tone“Why would I be up to anything?”“What do you mean by that? He asked. "Aren't you aware of your own operations any longer?Word has reached me that Silvercast has been expanding its territory.”Oh. That.My lungs quietly loosened.I let out a small breath through my nose like I’d just been mildly inconvenienced instead of internally spiraling a moment ago.“Y-Yees,” I replied, folding my hands behind my back. “Our numbers have been growing lately so I figured it was time to make more land accessible for my wolves. Expansion seemed practical.”"You seem tense, Alpha Diego. Is everything alright?" The Lycan King asked me."Everything is going according to

The way I was staring at the message was longer than necessary. It wasn't because I didn’t understand it.Oh, I understood it perfectly. It just, didn’t hit the way shocking news was supposed to hit.Honestly? I wasn’t surprised.Because Diego? Diego stopped being unpredictable a long time ago. Since the day he looked me in the eyes and murdered me.There was nothing he wasn’t capable of. Was it lies or manipulation... murder? Been there, done that.Compared to those, cheating almost felt lazy. Like wow, that’s it? That’s the scandal?A breath left my nose.Amethyst’s face flashed in my mind. My so-called best friend.The girl who used to braid my hair and swear we were sisters.The same one who stood beside my husband while they planned my death like it was some damn dinner arrangement.I waited for sympathy to hit me but nothing came.If anything, a cold thought slid through me instead.She deserves it.By the Moon Goddess, that sounded awful and petty but it was true.At least Dieg

LanaI had almost immediately excused myself from breakfast and sped out the King Estate without raising questions from the household.The city blurred past me in streaks as I drove with my hands tight on the wheel.Buildings got smaller the farther I went until they looked like tiny figures in the rearview mirror.I had told Ashton earlier that I had personal work to deal with. I wasn’t exactly going to tell him that I was sneaking off to meet a spy behind his back.Of course, he was suspicious but he let me go anyway.Honestly, something in me said he’d find out sooner or later. Maybe he already knew.Maybe he was letting me run around just to see how far I’d go and with his sister back now, he might be distracted enough not to notice every little thing I did. Or maybe that was wishful thinking on my end.The road turned rough as I left the main highway and followed the pinned location the guard had sent earlier.There was nothing here except dry land, scattered trees, and silence t

LanaI wasn’t supposed to know.That was the thought kept looping in my head.The honeymoon thing and whatever Ashton was planning. It was supposed to be a surprise and now that I knew, it wasn't that anymore. Which meant when he finally told me, I’d have to act shocked and happy like I hadn’t already heard it from his big-mouthed sister.She really did just drop bombs and walk away, didn’t she?She had already left the coffee shop about ten minutes ago. I was sitting here alone, staring at the window, watching people pass by.I imagined leaving the city for a while but I realised that could mess up everything. I needed to be close to get back at Diego.But then again… shit, I was tired.Not sleepy tired but bone tired.These past weeks had been nothing but thinking, plotting and pretending, watching my back, watching his back, watching everyone.I hated admitting it, but a break didn’t sound terrible. Especially if I was leaving with someone who actually cared about meAshton cared.
