All Chapters of The Alpha's forgotten Luna: His Loss, her throne: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Ivy's POVI was way too shock at the sudden scene. Shocked was too small and too clean a word for what happened to my body the moment Noah's voice cut through that room. Every muscle locked. My lungs stopped working for a full three seconds and the only thing I could actually feel was Liam's hand, tight around mine, a grip that said stay right here without a single word.The room had erupted. All of it at once, hundreds of voices crashing into each other, some outraged, some confused, some just feeding off the chaos, and I stood in the middle of it with my wedding dress and my new title and my ex-husband standing twenty feet away dismantling everything with his mouth."Don't," Liam said quietly beside me. Just that. One word, low and absolute."I'm not doing anything.""Your face is doing something." His grip tightened slightly. "Let me handle it."I wanted to believe him. I genuinely wanted to and the fact that I almost did scared me more than Noah being in the room.Liam let go of m

Liam's POVFor the first time in years, I genuinely did not know what to do.That was not a feeling I was familiar with. I had ruled thirty-two territories since I was twenty-six. I had walked into rooms full of men twice my age and made decisions that changed the shape of entire packs without blinking. Uncertainty was not something I kept in my vocabulary. It was not something I allowed.And yet here I was standing in my own ceremonial hall on my own wedding day staring at a contract I hadn't known existed while the man who had destroyed the woman beside me stood in the middle of my floor like he owned it.To my left, I could feel Caius. I didn't even have to look. He had settled into a chair near the far wall at some point during the chaos and from the corner of my eye I could see the faint curl of smoke from wherever he had produced a cigarette and the specific posture of a man who was absolutely enjoying every second of this. If I looked directly at him he would smile and I was goi

Ivy's POVNoah did not say a single word in the car.Not even one. The entire drive from Blue Elite back to Ironveil was forty-five minutes of silence so thick I could feel it pressing against my skin. He sat on his side of the car with his jaw locked and his eyes forward and his hands flat on his thighs and I sat on mine and looked out the window and thought about Liam saying twenty-four hours like it was a promise and not just a number.Rixon was in the car behind us. I had checked. I had watched him get into the vehicle before Noah's driver pulled off and the small relief of knowing he was there was the only thing that kept my breathing even the whole ride.Amy had taken a separate car. She hadn't looked at me when she left and I hadn't looked at her either. There was nothing left between us that required eye contact.The moment we pulled through the Ironveil gates something in my chest tightened. It was involuntary and I hated it. The pack looked exactly the same. Same stone archw

Ivy's POV"Noah!"His name ripped out of me as he walked out and didn't look back and the door swung shut behind him like a full stop at the end of a sentence he had already written without me. I spun around and the beta was still there, his hand loosely circling my wrist, gentle in a way that almost made it worse.I yanked my arm back off his Beta "Let go of me. I am not your fucking Luna.""Luna, please—""Did I just not say I'm not your Luna? Let go."He released me and stepped back and looked like a man who had been handed a task he was now deeply regretting. He was younger than Dax. Softer around the edges. He had the expression of someone following orders he hadn't been fully briefed on and standing in the aftermath of them wondering if he should have asked more questions before agreeing.I turned away from him. My cheek was on fire where Noah's hand had landed and my eyes were burning and every single part of me wanted to fold in half and let it out right there on the floor of

Liam's POVI couldn't sit still.I had been going through files for the last two hours, every record of every Alpha who had stood in that hall today and opened their mouth against my union, every pack affiliation, every alliance history, every debt owed to the Lycan Crown that had somehow not stopped them from running their mouths in my own ceremonial hall. I was going to deal with every single one of them but not today, not while I had bigger fires burning, but soon and thoroughly and they were going to remember exactly why nobody crossed me.Rixon was leaning against the wall watching me the way he watched me when he thought I was about to do something that would create more paperwork for him. "You need to sit down," he said."I'm fine.""You've read that same file three times."I set it down and picked up another one."Liam." He pushed off the wall. "What Noah did today, anybody who wanted their Luna back would have done the same thing. You gave him twenty-four hours. He's not goi
