All Chapters of Luna Lana: The Alpha’s Reincarnated Mate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

LanaBefore night even had the chance to settle properly, I was already standing in front of the mirror, trying to make myself look perfect for tonight.I dragged the lipstick carefully across my bottom lip, then pressed both lips together.My hair had taken forever but I made it work.Sapphire was beautiful.The dress hugged her body perfectly, soft and elegant in a way that made her look every bit like a Luna should.I looked… good.Maybe too good for the kind of night I felt was coming.I stared at my reflection for one more second, then adjusted one of the tiny strands of hair near my ear.A knock came at the door.“Come in.”One of the maids stepped inside with both hands holding a sealed letter.My brows pulled together. “What’s that?”She opened her mouth to answer, but I had already seen it's crest.It was Silvercrest'sI walked toward her and took the letter from her hand, my thumb brushing over the familiar sigil.“Silvercrest sent this?”“Yes, Luna. They’ve been sending inv

LanaMy voice had came out harsher than I intended, tearing cleanly through the quiet state of willow hollow.Diana, at first staring at me, her expression changed so fast it almost would’ve fooled me if I didn’t already know better.Her eyes widened, lips parted. Her hand even lifted to her chest like I had just slapped her across the face.“What?” she gasped softly. “Sapphire… what are you talking about? Are you sure you're alright? Do you need the pack doctor to check you up?”I almost laughed at that because wow, she was good.If I hadn’t overheard those servants. If I hadn’t found out Elder Edward was her father and if I hadn’t been watching her since the second she stepped into the Estate with that too sweet smile and those too familiar hands around Ashton’s space, I might’ve believed her.Hell, I might’ve doubted myself.That was how smooth she was but I knew better, didn't I?“Don’t do that!” I snapped again.She blinked. “Do what?”“That.” I stepped closer. “That innocent lit

Lana“What?!”The word flew out of my mouth so loudly the beta maid in front of me nearly dropped the tray she was carrying.I blinked at her.She blinked back at me.Then she looked down at the tray nervouslyThen at me again.I looked down at what she was holding. A bowl of flour, eggs stacked carefully in a smaller basket, sticks of butter, sugar, vanilla flavours, milk, and some ridiculous amount of berries balanced on the edge like the whole thing wasn’t one wrong step away from disaster.My brows pulled together.“For what?” I asked again, slower this time, like maybe I had somehow heard wrong the first time.The maid shifted awkwardly before answering. “For Lady Diana’s birthday, my Luna.”My face stayed blank for exactly two seconds.Then I let out a short laugh. There was truly no humor in it. No joy.Just disbelief.“You’re joking.”She looked horrified. “N-No, my Luna.”Of course she wasn’t. Of course!I stared at the tray for another second before stepping aside so she cou

Lana“Why don’t you see it?”The question tore out of my lips before I could smooth it down into something calmer.My throat was already hurting from everything I had swallowed tonight, and the words came out rough, cracked at the edges.Ashton stood in front of me in the dim corridor, completely quiet. Not saying anything at all.I swallowed hard and asked again, quieter this time, but no less sharp.“Why don’t you see what she’s doing?”Finally, he spoke.“What are you talking about, Lana?”A humorless laugh slipped out of me.What was I talking about? Seriously?I stared at him, my fingers curling so tightly into my palms my nails bit skin.“Diana. I’m talking about Diana. She has been all over you since the day she got here. She follows you around, touches you whenever she can, stands too close and talks like she already belongs beside you—” My breath caught, but I pushed through it anyway. “Why can’t you see that she obviously wants you?!”The second the words left my mouth, my c

AshtonI stood at the doorway a bit longer just watching her lay still beneath the covers, her breathing slow and even, her lashes resting against her cheeks like none of tonight had happened.The way she had looked at me with that expression right before the sleep took her wasn't something I enjoyed very much.I wanted to go closer again. Instead, I looked away first.Cowardly, maybe.Necessary, definitely.I turned and walked to the door, then paused with my hand on the handle. One last glance.She still hadn’t moved.Good. That meant my influence had settled properly.I stepped out and shut the door quietly behind me.Two guards were already standing outside with their backs straight and heads lowered.“Stay here,” I ordered. “No one goes in. No one. Am I clear?"“Yes, Your Majesty.”I held their gaze a second longer just to make sure they understood I meant exactly what I said, so excuses later on will be void. Then I walked off down the corridor.Thinking back to what I had to do
