All Chapters of The Jilted Luna : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

The assistant slowly lifted his head to meet Sylas’s eyes, but the words refused to come easily. His lips parted several times before he finally found his voice.“When I woke up, I was locked inside the storage room. I tried to force the door open, but I was too weak. I could barely stay on my feet. I kept shouting for help again and again, but nobody came. I don’t even know how long I was trapped in there.”He lowered his gaze, his shoulders slumping beneath the weight of frustration and embarrassment.At first, he had blamed himself. The clinic had been overwhelmed for days, and everyone had been running on little sleep. He assumed his body had finally reached its limit and given out from exhaustion.But the more he replayed those moments in his mind, the more impossible that explanation became.Exhaustion didn’t strike like lightning.It crept in slowly.You felt your body growing weaker, your thoughts becoming sluggish, your limbs growing heavier with every passing hour.That wasn

After sending the assistant back inside, Sylas remained outside the clinic for a while, letting the quiet settle around him.From where he stood, he could hear the old pack doctor and the healer questioning the young assistant. Since Sylas had assured him he would not be punished for speaking honestly, the young man no longer tried to protect anyone. He recounted everything in careful detail, beginning with his encounter with Raquel’s attendant and ending with the terrifying moment he regained consciousness inside the locked storage room.As each piece fell into place, the expressions on the doctor and the healer slowly changed.Concern became disbelief.Disbelief gave way to unease.Neither of them had expected the truth to be this ugly.It also became painfully clear that Sylas had already walked several steps ahead of them. He had questioned the assistant before bringing him back, which meant he had uncovered things he wasn’t prepared to reveal yet. There was no reason for them to

Both men had reached the same frustrating conclusion.The investigation had gone as far as it could, yet the truth remained just out of reach. If they failed to uncover what had really happened soon, then someone would have to carry the blame.There were only two names left.Marcus.Victoria.Between the two of them, Victoria would suffer the most.Marcus’s actions were easy enough for people to justify. Many would simply say he had acted out of loyalty to the royal princess and her unborn pup. Even if he had crossed the line, others would likely excuse him by claiming his desire to protect Raquel had clouded his judgment.Victoria would receive no such understanding.Everything had already begun turning against her. Rumors spread faster than facts, and every piece of circumstantial evidence pointed in her direction. Without proof to defend herself, she had no way to fight back. As time passed, people would stop treating the accusations as rumors and begin accepting them as the truth.

Hue’s silence stretched on, and the Alpha King felt his patience beginning to fray.For a moment, he almost demanded an answer. The urge rose quickly, but just as quickly, reason forced it back down.Whatever illness Alpha Maxwell carried wasn’t the most urgent problem before him.More importantly, this wasn’t the right time to push. Maxwell and Hue were still the only people who understood Victoria’s condition better than anyone else in the palace. If he forced the issue now, he risked losing their trust, and that was a price he couldn’t afford to pay.Hue noticed the subtle change in the Alpha King’s expression. When the King’s attention finally shifted away from him and toward Maxwell, instructing the Royal Healer and the Royal Doctor to examine the Alpha instead, Hue quietly let out the breath he had been holding.For now, at least, he had escaped.“Your Majesty, there’s no need to worry,” Hue said, his tone calm and respectful. “Alpha Maxwell has gone through this before. He only

“Damn right it is!” Roque snarled without a trace of hesitation. “So don’t stand there pretending you don’t know who’s responsible.” Carlisle closed his eyes for a moment. There was nothing he could say, really. Roque wasn’t wrong. Every word the wolf had spoken was the truth. Before the silence between them became unbearable, the Royal Convoy finally spoke. “Alpha Carlisle truly lives up to his reputation,” he said with a courteous smile. “The hero who led the northern campaign to victory. The Alpha whose resolve never falters. Northern Alpha Damon spoke very highly of you, so I’ve been looking forward to meeting you in person.” His smile never faded, but the edge beneath his words was impossible to miss. “Now I understand why your name carries so much weight.” On the surface, it sounded like praise. In reality, it was anything but. There was just enough sarcasm beneath his polite tone to reveal that Carlisle’s cold reception had bruised his pride. Still, the c
