《FAT GIRLS can’t be LUNA》全部章節：第 11 章 - 第 20 章

Mabella's POV I stood before the council as Alfredo had sent for. It was days after I had settled in the pack, days after I had planned to remain in the pack and behave like one of them. Days after I had already made up my mind to stay beside him. After all, he was my fated mate.Many elders were gathered and seated by the sides as they awaited his presence. By my left was my father, and a few other betas from other packs. My stepmother sat beside him and if eyes could kill, I knew that her gaze would have ended me long before I realized what was happening.The hall was still noisy and many people were still coming in. I didn’t know exactly what the meeting was called for. For betas from different packs to even be in attendance, it meant it was important and heavy enough to pull power from every corner.A hand tugged at me and I looked down to find my father. He let out a smile. A smile I knew was fake, because he didn’t want the people to discover that we weren’t on good terms. That

Alfredo POVSomething felt odd and awkward when I first stood up from my bed after getting dressed. It wasn’t just the stiffness in my limbs or the quiet stillness of my chambers, it was deeper than that. A strange, lingering unease settled in my chest, like a shadow I couldn’t quite see but could feel wrapping around my ribs. For a moment, I paused, my fingers curling slightly at my sides as I tried to shake it off, but it clung to me stubbornly.“Alpha, the council has gathered, and so did the betas of the packs you gathered,” my beta, Tho, rushed in to announce to me.He needed to do it face-to-face instead of using the pack's mind link, as he wasn’t sure which of the council elders could overhear the conversations from our path. My link wouldn’t be impossible for them to be able to, using those pack activators, and I was trying to prevent that. The reason I had called for the meeting today was a very important one, and I did not want anything to ruin it—especially not for my Bel

Mabella's POV“Let me go, Annabella!”I shouted at my stepsister, when I noticed her walking into the room where I was locked inside.I was shocked to see her and worse, that she was in the same room where I had been locked by our parents.“What do you want from me?" I asked, my voice thinner than I intended, as I watched her.But she said nothing.She only stared at me with those cold and vile eyes of hers.The same eyes I have grown accustomed to for years, eyes that never once held warmth for me, not even by mistake."See how fat and smelly you are, Mabella! Don't you ever feel ashamed of how you look? What made you decide to stay by Afredo’s side despite how you look?” she snapped all of a sudden, her voice sharp as a blade as she continued to approach where I was.“Why does how I look concern you, Annabella?” I asked, even though my chest tightened. “You're pretty, you're everything I am not. Why do I still bother you when I'm not clearly in your way?”My voice trembled, but I fo

Mabella's POV"You're not even crying."Annabella had her arms crossed, staring down at me like I was something she found on the bottom of her shoe.I didn't look away.She hated that. Twenty years in the same house and she still expected me to flinch first."I went through all this trouble," she said, "and you can't even give me one tear. That's genuinely offensive, Mabella."She started walking slow circles around the chair, studying me from different angles."Nothing? Really?"My wrists were burning from the rope. My cheek still throbbed from the last slap. The gag had been loose for a while now, she'd forgotten to check it after hitting me. Typical. Annabella always got careless when she thought she'd already won.I was counting.Three guards. The one by the door scratched his left ear right before he zoned out, I'd clocked it three times already. The window behind Annabella had a bad hinge at the bottom, I figured that out the first time the draft pushed through and tore the smok

Mabella's POV"We move in an hour."The rogue said it to Annabella like I wasn't sitting three feet away. Like I was furniture. Like the blindfold they'd tied over my eyes had also switched off my ears.I filed that away.People got careless around things they didn't consider threats.The blindfold was thick but the knot at the back was amateur, done fast by someone who'd been rattled and hadn't slowed down enough to do it properly. I could feel the looseness every time I turned my head. Not enough to slip on its own but enough that one good moment would handle it.I was waiting for that moment.The room had gone quiet after the rogue spoke. I heard Annabella's heels on the floor, that sharp specific click she made when she was thinking and didn't want anyone to know. Four steps left. Stop. Three steps back.She was nervous.Good."What do you mean by an hour," she said. "We agreed on tonight.""This is tonight. Plans moved up. Do you want this done or not?"A pause."Fine," Annabella
