All Chapters of Never Reject A Secret Luna Heiress: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Rue’s POVThe laughter and music from the birthday party filled the hall like a soft melody, drowning out the engagement ceremony that happened in the other hall. I hadn’t expected so much warmth. The shaman’s wife held my hands as if we were a long-lost family.“Rue, my dear,” she said kindly. “Don’t you look lovely. We’ve missed your presence at the gatherings.”“I’m honored to be here,” I replied softly, handing over the small box I’d brought. Inside lay a delicate gold bracelet. “For your daughter,” I said to the shaman with a faint smile. “A token from a student who once troubled you with too many questions.”The shaman laughed heartily, brushing a hand through his grey hair. “Troubled? Rue, you were the only student who ever dared to argue with me about the legitimacy of my methods.”Guests nearby turned their heads, murmuring. Student? The word traveled like wildfire across the hall. A few reporters exchanged glances.I felt their eyes on me, but I didn’t shrink. I turned to th

Aiden’s POVThe week after the engagement party dragged on like a punishment I couldn’t escape. Even in the early morning, I felt sluggish . I’d been through brutal fights, insane politics, but nothing unsettled me like Rue did.I couldn’t stop thinking about her that night—the way she turned to leave with Percy. She seemed done with me.I was sitting in the study when Haven slipped in. She’d been quieter lately, very careful with her words, as though walking on eggshells.“You haven’t been yourself lately,” she said, her tone full of concern. “Everyone’s noticed. You don’t eat, can’t sleep… because of…” she paused “ever since our engagement.” She addedShe wanted to say her name. Rue. But she knew better.I didn’t reply. Haven came closer, setting her hand gently on my shoulder.“I know what she did at the engagement party,” she continued softly. “That outburst wasn’t an accident. Rue wanted to make you unhappy. She’s always been jealous, Aiden. Maybe that’s why she even came in the

Have’s POVThe sound of the slap echoed through the room.Vicky stumbled back, clutching her cheek, eyes wide in disbelief. The other maids gasped, frozen in place. I could feel my pulse racing, but my hand didn’t tremble. It stung a little bit, but it was worth it.“I’m picking on you today,” I said coldly, staring her down. “What are you going to do about it?”Tears welled in her eyes, but she didn’t answer. None of them did. When she finally turned to leave, dragging her dignity behind her, the two maids followed her out. Their faces were tight with anger, but they said nothing. I didn’t bother stopping them. Let them go. They were Rue’s loyalists anyway. Every single one of them.Later, through the cracked window of my study, I saw them standing outside the gates—Vicky and the two others, their belongings in small boxes. I couldn’t hear their words, but I could read their lips.Vicky was apologizing.The two maids shook their heads, telling her it wasn’t her fault. They even smi

Aiden’s POVI’d been staring at the same document for almost half an hour, the numbers getting even more complicated with each passing second. Every proposal, every figure I’d drawn up was supposed to ensure Half Moon’s dominance in the region. Nothing—nothing—was supposed to go wrong.Then Vance walked in, holding a thin envelope and an expression that made me uneasy.“Alpha,” he said, hesitating at the doorway.I glanced up from my desk. “What is it?”“It’s… from Marcus’s pack.”I leaned back in my chair. “Good. Tell me he’s agreed to the merger terms.”Vance’s silence was answer enough.My jaw stiffened. “Say it.”“They rejected the proposal.”For a second, the words didn’t register. My fingers froze midair, the pen between them falling soundlessly onto the desk.Rejected.Marcus? Reject me?I laughed under my breath—a humorless laugh. “You must be mistaken. Marcus wouldn’t dare reject my proposal. Not after all the resources we’ve offered in this agreement.”Vance didn’t flinch.

Rue’s POV“You’re dismissed,” the old Alpha said firmly. “And don’t think for a second I’ll recommend you elsewhere. This pack needs no man who can’t tell right from wrong.”The butler fell to his knees, his forehead nearly touching the ground. “Please, Alpha! Mercy! I’ve served this household for many years!”He crawled toward Vicky, clutching her legs. “Miss Vicky, please speak for me! I was blind—foolish! Don’t let them fire me!”Vicky stiffened, her expression torn between anger and pity. “Let go,” she said softly.When he refused, her two colleagues rushed forward, prying him off her legs. The butler’s sobs turned hollow as he was dragged away.Aiden’s father gestured for us to follow. “Rue, my dear, please. Come to my study. We should talk.”The four of us entered his office—a spacious room. He motioned for us to sit.“I owe you an apology,” he began gravely. “For not keeping better watch over the household. And for allowing this to happen while I’m still alive”His words were
