The Rogue Luna's Secret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

"You don't know the whole story, Ella," Damien said, his voice dropping to a low, quiet murmur. He stared down at his desk, his long fingers tracing the edge of the mahogany wood.Ella shifted her weight on the edge of the desk, the heavy green wool of her cloak rustling against the stack of crisp paper beside her. "Then tell me. Why hide it from everyone? Why hide it from me?""Because it is not a happy royal tale," Damien replied, letting out a short, bitter chuckle that lacked any real humor. He finally looked up, his dark eyes catching the amber glow of the desk lamp. "My mother met Maxwell, Ronan’s father long before he ever became the Alpha of the Voss Pack. They were young. They loved each other. But the pack elders had already arranged a political marriage for him with Ronan’s mother to secure their borders.""And she didn't know?" Ella asked softly, leaning in slightly. The room was so quiet that the faint scent of coffee beans and old leather seemed to grow stronger between

"Oh, hi, Jax. You are finally back," Isolde said, a bright smile on her face as she stepped out from a doorway.Jax stopped in the middle of the hallway. He was holding a small, faded black backpack by its top handle. He had left it in his car earlier because he didn't want to carry it up to his private meeting on Ronan’s balcony, but he had just gone back down to the garage to grab it. It was the only bag he had taken down south to Lockwood, it was just a simple, portable backpack with a few changes of clothes.He was almost to his room when Isolde blocked his path. The smile on her face felt completely wrong, and it instantly put him on edge. He never felt comfortable around her. Even though he was always polite and respectful because she was his Luna, she always made him feel like he had to watch his back. He honestly wondered how Serena could stand being so close to her."Luna," Jax said, giving her a quick nod."So, how did Lockwood go?" she asked.Jax kept his face completely bl

Liora's POV "Isn't that the biggest pack in the South?" I asked, setting my fork down against the ceramic plate. My voice sounded a bit too tight, even to my own ears. "I didn't know you were from the Lockwood Pack, Ella.""That's because we haven't had that discussion before, right?" Ella replied. She popped a fry into her mouth, chewing casually."True," Lena agreed. She dipped another fry into the garlic dip, completely unbothered by the name.To them, it was just a name. But growing up in Voss, I had heard the stories. Whispered stories told around kitchen tables about how strict and untouchable the Lockwood territory had become over the years. According to the old rumors, they weren't always that cold. The sudden change had everything to do with Alpha Martins, the Alpha of Shadow Pack. Though I didn't ever get the full story."So, Liora, what do you say?" Elias asked, breaking my train of thoughts.I looked up and found him staring at me with big, hopeful eyes. Ever since my vis

Liora's POV "Ahem. Cough, cough."I cleared my throat quickly, the sound loud in the small room. I felt the heat rising to my face as I looked around at everyone. Their eyes were all fixed on me, waiting."Sorry," I managed to say, forcing a weak smile. "I just spaced out there for a second.""Are you sure you're good? You seemed pretty lost for a moment," Ella asked. Her forehead was creased with worry, and she had set her fork down."Honestly, I'm fine," I assured her. I looked over at Kira and Elias, trying to keep my voice steady. "I'm really okay, guys." I let out a small, fake chuckle, doing my best to clear the awkward air that had formed within seconds.Nobody spoke for a moment. The silence felt heavy, and I could feel Damien’s eyes burning into the side of my face. He stared at me for a long time, his expression unreadable, before he finally spoke."She said she's fine. Don't bother the lady," Damien said. His deep voice ended the questioning instantly.Ella looked down at

"Alpha, this was left for you by the girl who came with Ella yesterday," Lily said. She stepped into the large office and held out a small piece of folded white paper. "She said it was very important pack business."Damien did not look up from his computer screen right away. He finished typing a sentence before he reached out and took the note from her."Did she say anything else?" Damien asked. His deep voice filled the quiet room."No, Alpha. Just that it had to go straight to you," Lily replied, stepping back toward the door. "They left right after that. They said they had to get back to their restaurant.""Alright. You may leave, Lily," Damien said, waving his hand."Yes, Alpha." She bowed her head quickly and left the room, closing the heavy wooden door with a soft click.Damien stared at the paper for a moment. He unfolded it slowly, smoothing the white sheet against his dark wooden desk. The handwriting was neat but hurried. He began to read the lines, and his gray eyes narrowe
