Alle Kapitel von The Alpha's forgotten Luna: His Loss, her throne: Kapitel 111 – Kapitel 120

Liam's POVI have never in my life listened to a woman the way I listened to her in that moment.Not my mother, who tried. Not my former Beta before Rixon, who occasionally forgot his place and tried anyway. Not a single elder sitting behind a council table with a list of grievances and a carefully worded ultimatum. I have spent the entirety of my existence on the giving end of orders. That is not ego talking, that is just the truth of what I was made into. Alphas yield to nothing. It is not in the blood, not in the training, not in any part of the framework I was built from.But Ivy was standing in front of me.Bandaged hands. Chin raised. That expression on her face that I was starting to recognise, the one that meant she had already made the decision and was simply giving me the courtesy of being present while I caught up. She had just told me, quietly and with complete certainty, that she would walk away from this title and take herself with her if I pushed her.She meant it. I co

Ivy's POVI stepped into the corridor and stood there for a second just breathing.My face was hot. My hands were not entirely steady. And there was a warmth between my legs that I was absolutely not going to acknowledge out loud, not to myself, not to anyone, not ever. Five years. Five whole years married to Noah, and not once, not a single time in all of that, had any man looked at me the way Liam looked at me in that room. Not once had anyone hunted me like that, spoken to me like that, touched me like that and made me feel like I was something worth wanting down to the bone.And it had to be him. Of all the people it could have been, it was fucking Liam.I pulled myself together, straightened my spine, and went to find Rixon.He was near the east corridor talking to two of the guards and he clocked my expression before I even opened my mouth. He dismissed the guards with a look and turned to me. "What do you need?""Amy. Where is she?"He opened his mouth."Don't," I said. "Don't

Ivy's POV I was still in the corridor when his hand closed around my wrist and pulled me back through the door."What the hell are you doing?" I spun to face him."You promised." His voice was low, no anger in it, just certainty. The kind that does not raise itself because it does not need to. "You said you would be here. You are not going back on that because of something someone said to you in that guest room.""I wasn't going back on anything. I just needed air.""You were walking away." He released my wrist but did not step back. The space between us was small enough that I had to tip my chin up to look at him properly. "I don't know what I did. I don't know what happened between when you lef

 Ivy's POVHe worshipped me like he had all the time in the world and no intention of wasting a single second of it.His fingers moved inside me slowly, deliberately, like he was taking his time learning exactly what I responded to and filing every piece of it away for later, and I could not keep my hips still. I was not even trying anymore. I was grinding against his hand with absolutely no shame left in my body, chasing the pressure, chasing him, and his face above me was dark and focused in a way that made my chest feel tight on top of everything else it was already feeling."You are so fucking good for me," he said. Low. Almost to himself. His eyes never left my face. "Look at how wet you are. Do you know how long I have wanted this? How long I have wanted you?"

Liam's POVI woke up and she was still there.That was the first thing. Before the absence of pain, before the warmth in my blood where the poison had been burning through me for days, before anything else, I registered that Ivy was asleep against my chest and hadn't moved and my arm was around her and she had let it stay there.I felt like myself again. Actually myself, not the hollowed out version that had been running on rage and stubbornness for the past forty-eight hours. The antidote had worked its way through completely and everything that had been wrong was quiet now and in its place was this, warmth and something steadier than anything I had felt in a long time.I brushed my thumb across her cheekbone and she stirred slightly but didn't wake and I kissed her forehead, then her cheek, then the corner of her closed eye because I was apparently completely gone and had made my peace with that at some point during the night."You drive me insane," I said quietly against her hair.
