Semua Bab Never Reject A Secret Luna Heiress: Bab 221 - Bab 230

Rue’s POVI looked at him.This was the second time he was asking me about marriage. And this time, Percy wasn’t smiling, wasn’t even trying to charm me the way he sometimes did when he wanted to ease tension.He was completely serious.My fingers tightened slightly in his hand.“I…”The word caught in my throat.For a moment, I didn’t know what to say. Not because I didn’t feel anything, I knew I loved Percy. The memory of another marriage flashed through my mind. A promise once made to me and broken. And the aftermath of that mistake still lived somewhere deep inside me.I lowered my gaze.“If I say yes…” I continued. “It won’t be impulsive, or rushed.”“I know.”“And you know I want you.” I said.He nodded.“Let’s wait then.” I added.His brows furrowed. “For how long?”I shook my head. “Not like that.” A small breath escaped me. “When you come back from the border mission...I’ll marry you then.”For a moment, he didn’t react. It was as if he hadn’t heard me properly. Then his e

Percy’s POVI had never driven that fast in my life.The city blurred past me into buildings, lights and people. None of it registered because my mind was already there. In that hotel room.My grip tightened on the steering wheel.“Damn it…”I had always known this day might come. And yet, I had still delayed it. I still told myself that it wasn’t the right time. I was so afraid of losing her that I kept this secret for this long.The car screeched to a stop. I didn’t wait or think. I got out and ran.The elevator felt too slow and the hallway too long. And when I finally reached the door, I didn’t knock, I pushed it open.Standing there was Rue, her posture defensive, and facing her was the boy. He looked calm and unbothered, like he had been waiting for this exact moment. For me.My chest tightened.“Stop.” I said louder than I intended.Rue turned immediately and her brows furrowed.“Percy?”But I didn’t look at her, my gaze was locked on him.“Don’t say anything.”But he didn’t l

Percy’s POVI did not remember how long I had been standing there. Time had lost meaning the moment she walked away.The door had closed with a soft, almost gentle sound, but it echoed in my mind like something that refused to fade no matter how hard I tried to chase it away.She’s gone, the thought came uninvited.At some point, I found myself outside her place. I didn’t remember making the decision to come here, didn’t remember the drive, the turns, the passing streets. All I remembered was the unbearable silence that had followed her absence.Even if she wouldn’t open the door, even if she wouldn’t speak to me, even if she hated me. I just… needed to be close.The night air was cold but I didn’t feel it. Rain began to fall at some point but I didn’t notice. Or maybe I did, and it simply didn’t matter.Because nothing mattered anymore except the door in front of me. The door that separated me from everything I had almost had.I knocked a number of times until my fingers got numb. Th

Percy’s POVI was just getting off work and I happened to see a familiar figure entering a club. I didn’t remember deciding to find Aiden. But somehow, I ended up standing across from him anyway.The air between us was heavy, charged with something volatile that neither of us bothered to hide.He looked worse than the last time I had seen him. Disheveled, eyes bloodshot. Jaw clenched like he was holding back something barely contained.“You look pathetic,” he said coldly.I didn’t respond. Didn’t bother because I wasn’t here for empty insults.“You lost her...i can see the signs.”Now that comment landed.“And you think that makes you better?” I asked quietly.His expression darkened.“At least I didn’t lie to her.”My hand curled slightly at my side.“You didn’t have to,” I replied, my voice low. “You did worse.”He took a step forward. “And what does that mean?”I laughed softly because the irony was almost unbearable.“You had her,” I said. “Completely without question.”My gaze sh

Aiden’s POVI stood in my office, staring at the documents piled on my desk, but I wasn’t reading them. I hadn’t really seen anything in days.Numbers blurred and names meant nothing. Every report sounded the same, losses, debts, dissatisfaction.Everyday constantly reminded me that I failed, not just as an Alpha, but as a man and as a mate.As someone who had once held something irreplaceable in his hands… and let it slip through his fingers without even realizing its worth.“Still thinking about her?”My mother’s voice brought me from my thoughts.“No,” I said flatly.We both knew it was a lie.She walked further into the room, her heels clicking against the polished floor.“Anyway,” she replied, her tone calm but edged with something calculating. “Even as you pretend....”I still didn’t look at her.“What do you want, mother?”“I think you should go after her.”That made me turn.My eyes locked onto hers and for a moment, I thought I had misheard.“You want me to do what?”“To win
