All Chapters of Divorced Luna: Carrying The Alpha's King Baby: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

I came home with blood on my palms. They’re not mine this time.The blood still feels warm against my skin no matter how hard I try to scrub it off under the pump by the gate, it’s still sticking to my skin like glue.I sigh.Laughter still echoes from behind me—the training ground, the elders who did nothing but stand and watch—where I stood completely helpless when a she-wolf tried to degrade me.She had purposely asked loudly and cruelly if an alpha could still be worthy of being called strong if he was with a barren, wolfless mate.This wouldn’t have been a problem to me as I’ve always faced insults and threats like this for as long as I can remember, but the fact she tried to insult Julian was what pushed me to throw a punch first.Although I had my ass handed to me, I still landed in a couple of scratches.The blood finally came off from my hand and I backed away from the pump, making my way inside.I straightened when I finally entered the compound.Wolves looked at me in disda

I don’t remember falling.I do remember running, losing my breath as branches tore at my skin.I remember tripping over a root hidden beneath the leaves, my body pushed forward, the pain on me crashing to the ground and then darkness.When I regain much consciousness, the first thing I feel is restraint.A rope.Did Julian get me?If he did then he’s going to put me in the black hole till dawn.My wrists are bound behind me and this time they’re tight enough to make my fingers tingle.I’m on the ground, but I don’t feel leaves around me, I’m inside a tent, and it’s warm.Panic slammed into me with full force.We don’t have tents in iron claw, and if I’m in a tent it means I wasn’t taken by Julian.That’s worse.Who took me in here?

I woke to silence.The silence is almost deliberate, like the pause before judgement.I twist my wrist and to my greatest surprise they’re free.That’s the first thing I notice.The freedom from the bondage.The second thing I notice is him and my body jerks in response.Malachi was standing a few feet away from where I laid. He had his arm crossed and posture rigid.His features didn’t appear soft the way they did before. His eyes are clear from whatever trance they were in last night, whatever crowded them to the point of darkening was gone.He eyed me down to up, like I was something foul that had wandered too close to his throne.“Good, you’re awake.” He said flatly.I tried my best to push myself upright, but my heart kept pounding.My body felt normal now, no scorching heat, no pull, just exhumation and a dull ache in my lower back and legs.As if reading my mind Malachi spoke first. “The rut passed.”His voice was void of every form of emotion. He sounded like a king about t
