All Chapters of The Alpha's Forced Luna : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

(Alina's POV)The entire courtyard had fallen silent.Every servant.Every warrior.Even the gardeners had stopped working.All because of one elegant wooden box tied with a dark blue ribbon.The messenger held it toward me with both hands."Alpha Marcus sends his regards, Luna Alina."I hesitated.Not because I wanted the gift.Because I knew exactly what would happen the moment I accepted it.Whispers had already begun."Why would Alpha Marcus send the Luna a present?""They barely know each other.""Didn't he ask her to become his Luna?""Maybe he hasn't given up."The rumors spread from one servant to another like sparks catching dry grass.Wonderful.Exactly what Clara wanted.I looked at the messenger."What is it?""I was instructed not to say."He smiled politely."Alpha Marcus wished for it to be a surprise."Before I could respond, a cold voice cut through the courtyard."It won't be necessary."Every head turned.Frederick descended the mansion steps slowly.His expression

(Clara's POV) The broken bookmark wasn't enough. Clara smiled as she sat in the private lounge of a small estate on the edge of the Blackwood territory. A cup of untouched tea rested before her while two familiar faces stood across the table. Former servants of the Alpha mansion. People who knew every hallway. Every secret. Every weakness. "You've done well," Clara said softly. One maid lowered her head. "The pack is already talking." "They're saying Luna Alina and Alpha Marcus have grown close." Clara smiled. "Talking isn't enough." She reached into a velvet pouch and placed several gold coins on the table. The servants' eyes widened. "This is only the beginning." The older servant hesitated. "My lady... what exactly do you want us to say?" Clara leaned back in her chair. "I don't want lies." The women looked confused. "I want believable lies." She folded her hands elegantly. "People never question rumors that sound reasonable." The older maid nodded slowly.

Alina’s POVAlina had barely finished breakfast when a servant appeared at the door.“Lady Eleanor requests your presence in the east hall.”Alina frowned.“Now?”“Yes, my Lady.”She sighed and followed.The east hall was one of the oldest parts of the Blackwood estate. Tall windows lined the walls, allowing morning sunlight to spill across the polished floor.Grandmother Eleanor stood near the long table.Several documents were spread before her.Alina stopped.“What is this?”“Your first lesson.”Alina raised an eyebrow.“I thought surviving this family was already a lesson.”Eleanor’s lips twitched.“Being Luna is more than surviving your family.”She pointed toward the documents.“It is understanding your pack.”Alina walked closer.There were reports about food distribution, disputes between pack members, border concerns, and requests from different families.Alina stared at the pile.“You expect me to handle all of this?”“Yes, I expected you to learn.”Eleanor pulled out a chai

Alina’s POVThe mansion was unusually quiet that night.Alina stood by the window, staring into the darkness beyond the estate.She couldn't sleep.Too many thoughts had been running through her mind lately.Her marriage.Frederick.The way he had started looking at her.The way she sometimes caught herself looking back.She sighed and turned away from the window.Then she heard it.A faint sound.Alina froze.She listened carefully.There it was again.A cry.A child's cry.It was coming from outside.Near the forest.Her heart tightened.She quickly grabbed a cloak and hurried downstairs.The guards at the entrance looked surprised when they saw her.“My Lady?”“I heard a child crying.”“At this hour?”Alina nodded.“Near the forest.”One of the guards immediately stepped forward.“I'll go with you.”“No. Wake the others and search the eastern path.”“But—”“Please.”Something in her voice made him obey.Alina stepped into the cold night.The forest was only a short distance from th

Alina’s POV The first thing Alina noticed was warmth. The second was someone's hand around hers. Her eyes slowly opened. For a moment, she didn't remember where she was. Then she looked down. Frederick's fingers were still wrapped around hers. She froze. Last night came rushing back. The forest. The attack. His wounds. The quiet conversation. And then... She had stayed. Alina immediately tried to pull her hand away. Frederick stirred. His eyes opened. They stared at each other. Neither spoke. Then Frederick looked down at their hands. His eyebrows lifted. Alina quickly pulled away. “You were holding my hand.” Frederick sat up. “You were holding mine.” “I wasn't.” “You were.” “I was treating your wounds.” “That doesn't explain why you stayed.” Alina's cheeks warmed. “You were injured.” “I was sleeping.” “And?” “And you could have left.” She crossed her arms. “You're welcome.” “I didn't ask you to stay.” Her eyes narrowed. “Fine.” She stood. “I s
