Semua Bab The Luna He Didn’t Choose : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Bella POVThe moment the car crossed the border of the pack territory, I felt something inside me finally go quiet.Not better.Not healed.Just… quiet.I sat by the window, watching the familiar trees slowly disappear behind me, my fingers resting loosely in my lap. For a second, I almost expected myself to feel something dramatic, like heartbreak or regret or the urge to tell the driver to turn around.But nothing came.I was just tired.“Miss… are you okay?” the driver asked gently, glancing at me through the rearview mirror.I blinked slowly and looked up. “I’m fine.”He didn’t look convinced.“You’ve been very quiet,” he said. “It’s a long ride, you know. If you need to stop or rest—”“I said I’m fine,” I repeated, a little softer this time.He nodded and didn’t push further.I turned my gaze back to the window.The rain had stopped, but the sky was still gray, and everything outside looked dull and distant, like I wasn’t really part of it anymore.Without thinking, my hand moved

Ethan POVI did not sleep at all that night, and it was not because I was not tired, but because every time I closed my eyes, the same thing kept replaying in my head like something I could not escape from no matter how hard I tried.She waited.I could still hear the guard’s voice, calm and steady, like he had simply stated a fact that everyone already understood except me.“She waited… for you.”I sat up abruptly, running a hand through my hair as frustration and something heavier twisted in my chest.“This is stupid,” I muttered under my breath, my voice sounding rough in the quiet room. “She chose to leave.”But even as I said the words out loud, they did not feel convincing anymore.Instead, they sounded hollow.I exhaled sharply and stood up, pacing the room as if movement would somehow clear my thoughts.“She always overreacts,” I said again, louder this time, almost like I needed to hear it. “That is what she does.”But my steps slowed.Because something about this situation d

Ethan POVI did not know how long I stood there after leaving the healer’s wing, because everything felt slow and heavy, like time itself was dragging while my thoughts kept racing faster and faster in my head.“She lost the baby.”I could still hear it so clearly, like the words had been carved into my mind and refused to leave no matter how much I tried to ignore them.I let out a sharp breath and muttered, “No… no, that cannot be it.”But even as I said it, I knew I was lying to myself.Because I remembered everything.Her voice.Her expression.The way she held her stomach.“Ethan… please…”I closed my eyes tightly and pressed my fingers against my temple, trying to push the memory away.“Why did you not say anything?” I whispered under my breath, even though there was no one there to answer me.And then the truth came immediately.“She did say something,” I said, my voice rough now. “You just did not listen.”I exhaled shakily and forced myself to move, my feet carrying me down t

Ethan POVI did not realize how tightly I was holding the letter until the paper started crumpling in my hand, but I still did not let go, because it felt like the only thing left of her that I could actually touch.“Goodbye, Ethan.”I read that last line again, my eyes tracing over the words like they might change if I stared long enough.“…you really think it is that easy?” I said out loud, my voice low but shaking with something I could not control anymore. “You think you can just walk away and that is it?”The room stayed silent.Of course it did.Because she was gone.And for the first time, that silence felt like something suffocating instead of peaceful.“No,” I said suddenly, shaking my head as I straightened up. “No, this is not how this ends.”I turned and walked out of the room quickly, my steps sharp and fast, like if I slowed down for even a second, everything would collapse on top of me.The moment I stepped into the hallway, I called out, my voice cutting through the qu

Bella POVBy the time I reached the facility, my legs felt like they did not belong to me anymore, like they were just moving out of habit instead of strength, and the only thing keeping me upright was the quiet voice in my head telling me not to stop yet.“Just get inside,” I whispered under my breath as I pushed the glass door open slowly. “Then you can fall apart.”The air inside was warmer, cleaner, and it smelled faintly like antiseptic and something herbal underneath it, a scent I recognized immediately, and for a second, it made my chest tighten because it reminded me too much of who I used to be.A receptionist looked up the moment I stepped in, her eyes scanning me quickly, and I knew what she saw.A mess.“Can I help you?” she asked, her tone polite but distant.I nodded quickly, even though my head felt light.“Yes… I just… I need—” My voice came out weaker than I expected, and I had to steady myself against the counter slightly. “I need somewhere to stay. Just for a little
