Semua Bab Another Chance For The Barren Luna : Bab 61 - Bab 70

KellyThe entire drive back to the palace, my mind wouldn’t rest. My thoughts chased themselves in circles, tangled and relentless, all revolving around one thing: Alaric’s upcoming birthday.What could I possibly give a man like him? Something symbolic, something meaningful, something that said everything words couldn’t. A gift worthy of not only who he was to me… but who he was to the entire realm.Nothing felt good enough. Every idea that flickered to life in my mind burned out just as quickly. Jewelry? Too cliché. A weapon? Too impersonal. Something sentimental? Maybe, but how could I create sentiment from only a few days of knowing him?I groaned softly, pressing my forehead against the window as the car rolled along the cobbled road. The palace gates loomed in the distance, gleaming under the midday sun like the mouth of another world. I wanted his gift to mean something, to show him that I saw him, not just his crown or his power, but him.But what did I even know about him?Th

Kelly Once again finding myself in this intimate position, heat rushed to my cheeks, and I shifted uncomfortably on Alaric’s lap. My butt brushed against his… and I froze mid-movement, suddenly aware of what I'd just done.“Careful, sweetheart, or you're gonna wake up something I'm not sure you're ready to handle right now,” Alaric murmured, his voice low and teasing, yet threaded with that dangerous edge that always made my pulse spike.I went utterly still, a blush creeping up my neck so fast it felt like flames licking my skin. How could he say things like that with such a straight face? Was I really the only one this affected by our bond? My heart pounded as I struggled to steady my breathing. I needed—no, I had—to get used to being this close to him.“You really need to stop doing this, it’s embarrassing,” I muttered, trying to tug my body slightly away, though it did little good.“Am I not allowed to be affectionate with my mate, hmm?” he mused, leaning in and taking a deep whi

Kelly The courtyard was still and tense after the command left my lips. The Garvey brothers stood exactly three meters apart, their chests heaving as they glared at one another but dared not move. The silence that followed was thick and fragile, like glass that could shatter at the faintest wrong word.I drew in a shaky breath, forcing my heartbeat to slow. The power that had surged through me moments ago still pulsed faintly beneath my skin, humming like embers in my veins. My first Alpha command… and it had worked. The realization filled me with equal parts awe and disbelief, but I didn’t have time to dwell on it. Right now, there were bigger matters at hand.“Thomas. Elias.” I stepped forward, my voice steadier now, though emotion still trembled beneath it. “You’ll both speak to me. Now. One at a time.”The crowd around us—neighbors, pack members, even a few elderly people—shifted uneasily but didn’t interrupt. They were watching closely, weighing me, testing whether I was worthy

Kelly Though the Garvey case had been concluded peacefully—thank the goddess—there was another pressing matter at hand that I couldn’t ignore. James had gotten punched square in the jaw while trying to separate the fight, and now one side of his face was swollen like dough thrown into hot oil. The sight of it made me wince every time I glanced his way.Despite his insistence that he was fine, I couldn’t let him just shrug it off. The swelling was bad enough that he could barely open his mouth properly. So, ignoring his protests, I snatched the car keys from him and decided I’d be the one to drive him to the hospital.James had groaned when I told him to get in the passenger seat.“Alpha, come on. I’m fine. I can drive us back to the Palace myself,” he’d said, stubborn as ever, his voice slightly slurred from the pain.“Not a chance,” I’d shot back, slipping into the driver’s seat and starting the engine. “You’re sitting this one out. Consider it an order.”He’d rolled his eyes but ob

Kelly Steeling myself, I turned around to face my father. My heart thudded hard in my chest as I met his eyes—eyes that once looked at me like I was something foul, a mistake that had no place in his world. Now, they looked… tired. Not cruel or sharp, just old, weary, and dull with regret.I forced myself to sound steady. “Do you need something?” I asked quietly, keeping my distance by the door. “Just wait, I’ll call the nurse.”His hand twitched weakly above the blanket. “No, that’s not it,” he said, his voice rasping, fragile. “Please stay. I want to talk to you.”For a second, I thought I had misheard him. I blinked, sure my mind was playing tricks. Theodore Redmond never asked me to stay. He never wanted me near him. But there it was—a plea in his voice so soft, it cracked something deep inside me.I didn’t move right away. My instincts screamed for caution. Still, after a moment, I stepped closer, slow and wary, until I was standing near the foot of his bed. I said nothing, wait
