All Chapters of The Jilted Luna : Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

The warm water slowly eased the tightness in Victoria’s shoulders. She closed her eyes and drew in a slow breath before reaching for the rose-scented shampoo. As she worked it through her hair, the familiar floral fragrance filled the room, gradually replacing her own natural scent. When she finished, she reached for the matching body wash and gently washed away the sweat and exhaustion that had clung to her since the night before. For a brief moment, she almost felt herself relaxing. Then a strange sensation rippled through her body. It started deep inside her, so suddenly that she froze. A quiet gasp slipped from her lips as every muscle tensed. Her fingers tightened against the tiled wall while an unfamiliar warmth spread through her body. Her breathing became uneven, and she shut her eyes, trying to steady herself. The feeling disappeared almost as quickly as it had come. Victoria frowned. She couldn’t explain it. Her body felt strangely sensitive, almost restless, as thou

Even as the hall filled with admiration, another feeling quietly spread beneath the surface.Confusion.Wasn’t the princess supposed to have golden hair?The same question seemed to strike everyone at once.Heads slowly turned as people searched the hall, looking for someone else they had noticed earlier.Then their eyes landed on Raquel.She stood frozen where she was, her face as pale as moonlight. Her whole body trembled, and her lips shook so badly that her teeth lightly clicked together. One hand clutched the thin veil covering part of her face, as though that fragile piece of cloth could still protect her. As though it could hide the truth that was now unraveling before everyone.She had believed silence would be enough.She believed that if she never openly claimed to be the princess, people would simply continue believing it on their own. The veil, the golden hair, the carefully crafted mystery around her had all been part of that illusion.Now she was standing in the same roo

Only now do I understand everything.Only now do I see how badly I failed her.The realization hits me so hard that I can barely breathe. My chest feels like it’s being crushed beneath an unbearable weight.God… I hate myself.I hate that I let my pride blind me. I hate that I buried myself in bitterness until I couldn’t see the truth anymore. I wanted someone to blame so badly that I poured every ounce of my anger onto the one person who never deserved it.Victoria never deserved any of it.All I want now is to run to her, fall to my knees, and beg for her forgiveness.The hardest regrets aren’t always the things we do. Sometimes they’re the things we fail to do.I failed to protect her when she needed me.I failed to respect the woman who was supposed to stand beside me.I failed to cherish the person I should have protected for the rest of my life.Instead, I let my coldness grow until it swallowed everything between us. I watched the brightest person in my life slowly lose her lig

When I saw the blood in that dungeon, I thought I had already lost her.The moment I heard she had been whipped with silver, something inside me broke. Victoria’s wolf had never awakened. Her body was no stronger than a human’s. I didn’t need anyone to tell me how much she must have suffered. I could picture every horrifying possibility, and every one of them drove me closer to madness.I lost control.Roque and I became one as we tore through everyone who stood in our way. Warriors. Pack members. It didn’t matter who they were. We left nothing untouched. I barely remember what happened after that. All I remember is the fear. The thought that Victoria might die before I could tell her how sorry I was.That fear swallowed everything else.Now she was standing right in front of me.Alive.Breathing.Beautiful.My legs almost gave out beneath me.All I wanted was to fall to my knees, hold her close, and bury myself in her scent until I could finally believe she was real. I wanted to tell

Lance had spent years praying that Victoria would become his mate.From the time they were children, he had wished for it with all his heart. Every birthday, every festival, every quiet prayer beneath the moon carried the same hope. He wanted the Moon Goddess to choose Victoria for him.Now he stood before reality, and it felt like a cruel joke.“Victoria…”Her name left his lips in a broken whisper.By the time he reached her, his voice was shaking so badly that he could barely hold himself together. For six years, he had waited for this moment. Six years of hoping she would return. Six years of believing that if he waited long enough, fate might finally show him mercy.Instead, she had recognized three other men as her fated mates.It felt as though someone had reached into his chest and torn his heart apart.“Welcome back,” Lance said with a smile.At least, he tried to smile.The expression never reached his eyes. It looked strained and painful, like someone forcing himself to sta
