Lahat ng Kabanata ng Azriel King's Luna: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

AZRIEL’S POV The morning had started like every other day since Paige left, or rather, since Emily told me she had betrayed me and vanished. I sat in my office, going through endless reports I barely cared to read. My patience has been short lately. My temper was worse and though I couldn’t explain it, my chest had been aching for weeks, like a missing heartbeat echoing inside me.I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temples. The air in the room felt thick again, as if a shadow hung over me. It always did when Emily was near. I used to believe it was because of how deeply I cared for her. Now, I wasn’t sure what I felt at all. Lately, everything seemed… wrong.The people looked at me differently; the guards avoided my gaze, the maids trembled whenever Emily walked past, even Trevor and Renee were cold, distant, and I could sense their quiet anger. But for some reason, I couldn’t bring myself to care, or rather, something inside me wouldn’t let me. It was as if I was trapped behind a

AZRIEL’S POV “Emily is Lucinda's daughter… and also your stepsister, Azriel,”“WHAT?!!!!The silence that followed Paige’s words was deafening.For what felt like an eternity, I stood there, staring at her as if the air had been ripped out of my lungs. The echo of what she said rang in my head over and over again, but no matter how hard I tried to process it, the words still didn’t make sense.Emily? My stepsister?I blinked slowly, my mind reeling. “Paige,” I finally said, my voice hoarse. “Please tell me I didn’t hear that right.”Her expression was soft but full of pain. “You heard me, Azriel. She is your stepsister.”I took a step back, my pulse thundering in my ears. I could feel my throat tighten, a raw ache forming in my chest. “No,” I whispered, shaking my head. “That can’t be true. I only have one sister, Sophia. My father… he wouldn't do such a thing.”Paige sighed, her hands trembling slightly as she reached for mine. “Lucinda told Naomi everything before they fell out. Ki

PAIGE’S POV It was as though the world itself was dead when the sky abruptly darkened. At one point, the courtyard was still, and the tension-filled air was filled with Lucinda's ruthless laughing. Then, with a hollering wind that bent trees and ripped through the pack grounds like a ferocious beast, black clouds poured in and the sky grew angry. A flash of lightning exposed Lucinda's face, which was twisted with anger and insanity.She raised her hands high above her head, her voice echoing like thunder as she called on forces that did not belong in this world. “Come to me, my children of the night! Protect your queen!”The ground trembled beneath our feet as she spoke, each word flowing through it. Fear was in the air as the pack members cried and fled for safety. Mothers clutched their children, warriors tried to form a protective barrier, but even they trembled at the raw power spilling out of her. The air smelled of burning sulfur and magic gone wrong.Beside me, Azriel’s jaw

AZRIEL’S POV It was too quiet in the woods for me. The smell of anxiety and tiredness from my men who had been searching all night was carried by the morning breeze as it touched the leaves. Emily was still nowhere to be found, and the sun had begun to rise, painting the sky with gentle pink and gold streaks.We had searched every inch of the Black Crow territory, from the borders to the riverbanks, through the ruins of the old training grounds, and even the forbidden caves. Still, nothing. It was as though she had vanished into thin air.I clenched my fists as frustration burned beneath my skin. Emily might have been stripped of her power, but I knew better than to underestimate her. Her mother had taught her well, deception was in her blood.“Alpha,” one of the warriors said as he approached, his voice cautious. “We found traces of footprints near the eastern border, but they disappeared at the river. No scent, no trail.”I nodded slowly. “She’s masking her scent again,” I muttered

AZRIEL’S POV The sun rose higher over the Black Crow Pack the next day, shining on the pack walls with warm, golden colours. The world appeared to be at peace once more, almost too peaceful. I could see the warriors training below from the window of my office; their movements were quick, disciplined, and sharp. After everything we had gone through, I was proud to see my pack flourishing once more.But even with the laughter and the calm that surrounded us, a part of me couldn’t rest.Emily was still out there.The thought made my jaw tighten. It had been two weeks since the confrontation with Lucinda and the witch’s imprisonment. Two weeks since the pack began to heal. And yet, Emily’s disappearance gnawed at me like a shadow that refused to fade.I had sent my best trackers into the mountains and across the borders, but she seemed to vanish completely. It wasn’t like her to disappear quietly; Emily thrived on chaos. That was what made her so dangerous.A knock on my office door pull
