Semua Bab REBIRTH: I REFUSE TO BE LUNA: Bab 41 - Bab 50

“It’s Alpha Adrian,”For a long moment, I just stared at him with a blank gaze, because maybe, just maybe, I had misheard him.“Adrian?” I repeated, my voice was calm, but it was clearly turning colder.The guard nodded, he was clearly uncomfortable with the fact that he had to deliver the message. But before I could even respond, the sound of a chair scraping back, filled the air.I looked up, just in time to catch Blade standing up and his claws sliding out of his hands with a low, metallic rasp. His entire posture had shifted from the light, fun friend, to the posture of a predator.“Let me handle this, Alpha,” he said as he turned to face me, his voice was low, and I could feel the sheer bloodlust coming off from him, “He should be taught a lesson,”I lifted a hand and shook my head, “No,” I answered, “Stop,”Blade froze mid-step, and his eyes snapped towards me with rage still clouding his gaze.“Alpha Damien-” he tried to protest, but I stared at him and narrowed my eyes,“Stop,

Adrian’s POV:The taste of blood lingered on his tongue, and it was humiliating.Pain wrecked his body, and his nerves were on fire, but those were the absolute least of his problems. He was broken, and his body was healing as fast as it could. Adrian stayed on the ground for a moment longer than he needed to, and it wasn’t because he hadn’t healed enough to stand up, he could, but standing would mean he would have to acknowledge what had just happened to him.And he wasn’t ready to do that, not yet at least. Above him, Damien stood like nothing had just happened. He was calm and collected, that thought alone made rage twist within Adrian’s heart.Slowly, when he was sure he had calmed down enough, Adrian lifted his gaze and met Damien’s eyes. Even though Adrian’s eyes burned with anger, beneath it, was something he had buried deep and refused to acknowledge, caution.He knew he could stand up right now and continue the fight, and he really wanted to do just that. Every instinct in hi

“What’s mom doing here?” those words had barely begun to form in my mind before I froze.The warehouse noise faded into the background, from the workers to the shifting crates and even to the loud hum of the forklifts, all of it dulled away until the only thing in my vision was the woman walking straight towards me.I had seen her just a couple of weeks ago, but that didn’t help me from marveling about her looks. She looked the same, and yet, somehow, I could tell that something had changed.The way she walked was entirely different from the way she usually did, and her gaze was softer as she began to search for me.That alone made my chest tighten, as I forced myself to take multiple steps forward. By the time I reached her, my expression had already shifted into something that was both controlled and neutral. But within me, my thoughts were anything but.“Mom,” I whispered with furrowed brows,Somehow, she only spotted me when I was a couple of feet away from her. She let out a soft

Damien’s POV:“You shouldn’t be doing this?” I muttered under my breath for what must have been the tenth time in the past ten minutes, “What are you doing, Damien?” I hissed as I glanced down at my hand, at the fresh bouquet of Lilies that I held tightly.They were fresh, carefully arranged and ridiculously soft.I let out a sharp exhale as I stared at the flowers,“Why are you holding flowers like a high school boy?” The words sounded even worse out loud, but I still didn’t drop them or reconsider my actions. Because despite the mild embarrassment creeping up my spine, there was something else building up beneath it, something far stronger; anticipation.For the first time in a long time, I truly felt restless. It was absurd, I was an alpha that had faced wolves twice my size without blinking. Yet, here I was, standing in front of a woman’s house and second guessing flowers of all things. I ran a hand through my hair and let out a sigh,“It’s too late now,” I muttered under my breat

Nyssa’s POV: I was smiling so hard by the time Damien finished his story,“You’re telling me,” I said, as I leaned towards him and tried to keep my voice steady, “that he walked into your office, called me his bride, and got himself beaten black and blue?”Damien leaned forward in his chair, with one arm resting lazily against the backrest.“That’s a very simplified version of events,” he replied smoothly. “But yes,”I narrowed my eyes at him. “I told you not to simplify things,” I said, smiling brightly, “I want more details,”He let out a quiet chuckle that sent a warmth rushing through me.“He has always been arrogant, but yesterday was different,” Damien continued, “He was careless and, somehow, he thought showing up was going to intimidate me.”“And instead?” I prompted.“And instead,” he said, his lips curving into a smirk, “he ended up embarrassing himself.”I laughed,“Good,” I said without hesitation as I stood up and walked towards the stove. “Both of them deserved it.”And
