บททั้งหมดของ THE LUNA HE NEVER WANTED: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

~VIXEN~But something was wrong, I realized it too late.The silence that followed was louder than any music that had filled the hall before.For a moment, I forgot to breathe, not because of Vaelor’s hand around my waist, but from how the air seemed to had turned sharper around us.“They are looking at us,” I said again, not able to translate exactly what I was thinking.I could feel the weight of every gaze pressing into us, shock, curiosity and most importantly, judgement.They began whispering among themselves while staring at us, some where even pointing.Heat rushed up my face, but when I heard one of them, my blood ran cold.“Isn’t that Alpha Vaelor? He is engaged to Princess Martina, why is he kissing another woman?”“Who is that woman? Another home wrecker?”My pulse pounded in my ears.“That’s princess Martina, is she even aware that some slut is trying to steal her man?”It felt like the world had come crashing down on me. What first began as a romantic moment had quickly t

~VIXEN~“Don’t listen to her Vie, you know how she is… she is just trying to sabotage our relationship with Vaelor.” Emmie said immediately.I knew she was right, but deep down, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of fear that clung to my chest.I ignored her and walked away, but that only made her more angry.Olaine’s jaw tightened and she followed after me immediately, blocking my path.“You know I feel so terrible for you, no one ever wants you. You think you have Alpha Blackthorn, but he is going to marry Princess Martina, and you, you will be left alone again.”I clenched my fists, then I forced a smile to my face.“Olaine, I don’t think you are in any situation to be smug.” I told her gently.Her eyes narrowed slightly. “What do you mean?”I sighed, shaking my head gently. “C’mon Olaine, are you just being pathetic or blind?” I took a step closer to her, watching discomfort creep into her features.I folded my hands under my chest. “You are so worried about me, that you fail to see

~VIXEN~I stared at him, wondering what he was thinking. The calm look on his face made it impossible to read him.Taking a deep breath, I chose to tell him the truth. “I am buying property in his pack. I want to start building my company… Alpha Salvatore has a good spot.”The moment the words left my lips, I felt a shift in the air, subtle but dangerous.Something flashed across his eyes, but it was gone before I could name it.His silence only increased my discomfort. I would have preferred any words or reaction from him, even anger.I kept my gaze forward, my fingers tightening slightly in my lap as the car moved smoothly through the night.His eyes met mine, and for a minute, he didn’t say anything.Then, gently he spoke: “You are ready to start your company?”I nodded, holding back the need to let out a sigh of relief. “For the first time… I want something that fully belongs to me.”His eyes softened. “Wanting something for yourself doesn’t mean you have to do it alone.”My eyes

~VAELOR~There it was, he had crossed the line.I tilted my head slightly, keeping my eyes cold.“And what gives you the right to decide my private life for me?” I asked, though my tone sounded calm, I made sure he could read the message beneath my words.His lashes fluttered. He opened his mouth and then shut it again, clearly caught off guard.“Alpha Vaelor…” he started, but I cut him off again.“Oh, I almost thought you had forgotten who the Alpha is, Uncle. For a moment, I almost thought you were the Alpha of this pack.”His eyes darkened, fury flashing through his them, but he bowed instead, a clear way to hide his anger.“Forgive me, Alpha Vaelor, but I am only looking out for the good of this pack,” he said and then looked up. “When I ruled this pack, I…”My jaw tightened. It was true that he led the pack for some time after my dad passed and I went missing.He continued. “When I ruled this pack, I made it my clearest responsibility to only make decisions that would move this p

~VIXEN~I took another step back and then another, until I was far enough to leave.But right when I wanted to sneak out unnoticed, our eyes met. For the next second, I stood there frozen, unable to move.The frown that had once been on his face disappeared and was instantly replaced with a heart-warming smile.“Vie…” he called out gently, stretching his hand as though calling out to me.I froze, not knowing whether to walk towards him or go backwards. I could feel the heated stares almost burning a hole through me. I didn’t need to look at those with him to know they were practically glaring at me, but I still looked at them anyway.The air suddenly felt too thick with hostility. I contemplated going back, but Vaelor’s hand remained outstretched.“Vie…” he called again, his voice so soft that it didn’t in any way match the deadly aura around him.“Go to him,” Emmie whispered, her voice uncharacteristically small. “Show them you aren’t afraid, even if we are shaking inside.”I swallow
