All Chapters of The Jilted Luna : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“Protect the young Alpha! Don’t let any more vampires near him!”The command echoed through the air. Just as Damon expected, the sight of their injured lord drove the vampires into a frenzy. They charged toward Carlisle from every direction, desperate for revenge. Ironically, that made things easier for the werewolves. Focused enemies made careless enemies. While the vampires fixated on Carlisle, other warriors attacked them from behind and cut them down. Without meaning to, Carlisle had become the perfect bait. The fighting grew even more brutal. Despite his strength, Carlisle’s healing couldn’t compete with the Vampire Lord’s regeneration. Every injury slowed him a little more, while the ancient vampire steadily recovered from wounds that should have crippled him. Recognizing the danger, Damon coordinated closely with Carlisle. The two Alphas began alternating attacks. While one engaged the Vampire Lord, the other retreated briefly to recover. Then they switched and repeat

After listening to everything Carlisle had revealed, Gamma Sylas found himself growing increasingly uneasy.The more he examined the situation, the less he believed any of it had happened by chance.There were simply too many coincidences.Too many events had lined up at exactly the right moment, each one pushing the situation toward the same outcome. In Sylas’s experience, that usually meant someone was pulling strings behind the scenes.A troubling possibility slowly began taking shape in his mind.What if Raquel had wanted Victoria gone?What if Beta Marcus had helped her?And what if they weren’t the only ones involved?The thought sent a chill down his spine.Unfortunately, suspicion wasn’t evidence. Worse, the person he suspected belonged to the royal family.Accusing a royal without proof was dangerous enough. Suggesting that a royal princess had deliberately conspired against another pack member was even worse. One careless accusation could easily be interpreted as slander, an

That thought consumed Raquel completely.The only thing that had stood between her and Carlisle was gone. She didn’t see the loss as something to mourn. To her, it was another opportunity. This time, she would carry Carlisle’s pup, and no one would stop her.The thought thrilled her.The moment Carlisle came close enough, she rushed toward him and threw her arms around him before he had the chance to react.His entire body went rigid.Every instinct urged him to push her away. If she had been anyone else, he would have done it without hesitation. The only reason he held back was because she was the royal princess. That title alone forced him to bury his disgust behind a calm expression.Raquel either didn’t notice his discomfort or simply didn’t care.She leaned into him even more, pressing herself firmly against his chest as though that was where she belonged. Every curve of her body rested against him. Only a few hours had passed since she had lost the child in her womb, but her min

It had taken Raquel a long time to build this plan, and in her mind, every piece fit perfectly.The first step was simple. She only needed to become the Luna of the Red Moon Pack. Once that happened, everything else would fall into place. Even if Carlisle eventually learned that she wasn’t the missing royal princess, what could he really do? By then, she would already have a place beside him that no one could easily take away.If anyone confronted her, she already had an answer prepared.She had never introduced herself as the royal princess. She had never formally claimed the title. Everyone else had simply assumed it, and she had allowed the misunderstanding to continue. That wasn’t the same as openly lying… at least, that was how she intended to defend herself.Raquel had always believed she could escape almost any situation with the right words. As long as she remained calm and confident, people usually accepted whatever explanation she gave them.More importantly, she knew exactl

No matter how Carlisle looked at the situation, there was no legal or political way to force Raquel to leave.She had made her decision. She wasn’t returning to the Royal Palace, and she wasn’t meeting the royal convoy. Instead, she had placed the entire burden on his shoulders and expected him to deal with the consequences alone.Carlisle hated it, but refusing wasn’t an option.At least there was one advantage. If he handled the royal convoy personally, he could decide what information reached them and what remained hidden for the time being. Every hour he managed to buy gave him another chance to uncover the truth behind Victoria’s case. Until he had solid evidence, delaying matters was his only real option.Outwardly, none of those thoughts could appear on his face. He carefully wore the expression of a man caught between duty and frustration. If he looked even slightly relieved that Raquel intended to stay, she would immediately misunderstand his intentions. She would think he se
