《Reborn As The True Luna》全部章節：第 11 章 - 第 20 章

Astrid’s POVSomehow, Anthony managed to push the tour to later tonight.He did it easily, like it wasn’t even a discussion. A few polite words, a slight change of tone, and that was it.No one argued.I didn’t either.Anthony doesn’t know that if King Davian was here earlier than he planned, then he had enough evidence to bring him down and whatever he tries to hide won’t work.Well, I’m just a tour guide so I gave them a smile and went to oversee the food.Dinner felt different tonight even though our guests turned down the offer of having it with us so Anthony invited Mira AGAIN to the table. He claimed that Calix wanted to dine with his favorite nanny.The dinner felt wrong in a way I couldn’t name, like something in the room had shifted half an inch and nothing quite aligned anymore. I sat in my usual seat, my posture straight and hands steady around my glass.Even with the two people in front of me that want to end my life, something else pressed at the edges of my mind. A prese

My pulse spiked.Oh no he heard.I turned the water higher, scrubbing the sink quickly, forcing my breathing to steady.“I’m fine,” I called out, but my voice came out rougher than I wanted.“I didn’t ask if you were fine.”Another cough tried to rise—I swallowed it down hard, gripping the edge of the sink until my knuckles went white."Please," I said, quieter this time. “It’s nothing.”For a moment, I thought he might ignore that. Push. Open the door anyway.But he didn’t.A shift outside.Then the sound of his footsteps—measured, unhurried—moving away down the hall.Only when they faded completely did I let my grip loosen on the sink.My knees felt weaker than I wanted to admit.Then I looked in the mirror at the girl staring back, looking pale with thin black veins spreading from her neck. My eyes were too bright with barely contained panic.But I am still alive. I had to stay that way long enough to watch Anthony burn.The next morning I woke up expecting to feel the pain worseni

No knock.No warning.Just the quiet click of the handle and the door pushing inward.Cold air slipped into the room first.Then him.Davian stepped inside like he belonged there.I looked at him. He stared right back with his expression unreadable and cold.“Why?” The word came out sharper than I intended. I turned then, meeting his gaze. “Why would the Alpha King care if some random Luna dies?”He didn’t answer immediately.“You’re not random.”Serra exhaled quietly, like she’d been holding her breath. “You’re the key to bringing Anthony down. And because—”“Serra.”She stopped.Immediately.“That’s enough.”His tone wasn’t raised.But it ended the conversation.Completely.I looked back at him, something in my chest tightening despite myself.She left before I could ask what that meant. Davian moved then but not toward me. He just shifted his weight, hands clasped behind his back keeping distance. Huh?“You should have told me it was this bad.” he said quietly.“Why? So you could w

The footsteps passed probably just a servant from the sound of it doing late rounds. But we stayed frozen, neither of us moving.Davian’s breathing had changed and became deeper. His grip on my wrist tightened slightly.“We should go.” His voice came out rougher than normal.“Yes.”Again neither of us moved. I could feel his pulse against my wrist where his fingers pressed and feel my own heartbeat matching rhythm with his. The air between us felt charged like right before lightning struck.My wolf was howling now but that didn’t make sense. Davian pulled back suddenly and dropped my wrist like it burned.“You need to go back.” He was already gathering the documents, not looking at me. “Before someone notices you’re gone.”“Wait, what about—”“Tomorrow. We’ll talk more tomorrow.” His voice had gone cold again and more distant than I’ve ever heard. “Being alone like this is a mistake.”A mistake. The word landed wrong and it made something in my chest twist painfully.“I don’t understa

Astrid’s POVI woke up feeling watched but not the creeping unease of danger. It’s something that made my wolf settle instead of bristle like a presence standing guard while I slept which was ridiculous. Maybe it’s just the thought that I’m dying soon is making me feel so.I was losing my mind along with everything else.Morning light filtered through the curtains. I stretched, feeling the familiar burn of the mark then froze. My hand flew to my neck.The heat was worse not agonizing yet but constant now. A low throb that hadn’t been there yesterday. Serra’s medicine was wearing off faster than it should. I quickly got the vial and took one drop for quick ease.I pushed any thought of death away and went through my morning routine mechanically. I showered, got dressed and stared at my reflection and tried to recognize the girl looking back.The black veins had spread further overnight. Thin dark lines creeping down from the mark toward my collarbone. I pulled my hair forward to cover
