The Wolf King's Secret Son 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 171 - 챕터 180

LIANA POV These past few days with Kane have been like something out of a dream. That feeling when you wake up from a dream and for a split second, you think you're still asleep. It’s like standing on the edge of a cliff, heart racing, knowing you're about to jump, but instead of falling, you're flying.Ever since I opened up my heart and self completely to him, I wake up every morning with a bubbly sensation in my chest that I can't help feeling. It's like my insides have turned into a champagne fountain that’s all fizzy and light and I catch myself grinning at random moments, probably looking like a total idiot, but I'm too happy to care. And don't even get me started on how Kane parades me around town like he's got a neon sign over my head screaming "MINE!" to anyone who dares look my way.Of course, our relationship is now the talk of the town. I still see the side-eyes and hear the not-so-subtle comments about how I'm not good enough. The only difference between then and now is

LIANA POVFor a moment, I’m confused; I don’t understand what I’m hearing and witnessing. But as the other boys start handing in their own money, with Kane grinning as he pockets every single one of them, my eyelids start to twitch.The sound of all of them laughing begins to grate against my ears and sickens my stomach to the point the noise in the bar fades to a dull roar in my ears, with the thundering of my heartbeat vibrating against my ribs. My hands tremor at my sides and I clench them tightly into fists as an aching pang lances through my body."So that's what it was?" I sourly choke out and am still in a state of utter shock because I can’t fathom if I’m actually standing here, witnessing all of this, or if it’s just a nightmare I’ll soon wake up from.The group falls silent, all heads immediately turning towards me. I see how Kane's eyes expand the moment they land on me."A bet?" I continue with a soon trembling voice.Kane jumps to his feet, nearly knocking over his barsto

LIANA POV (continued)"Another cup of Persimmon juice, please!”I smile, already picking up a clean glass. "A cup of our persimmon special coming right up.”Then I pick up a bottle to pour out some of my homemade juice which has become one of the most popular items on my menu, much to my surprise."Here you go," I say as I gently place the glass on the table. “Fresh from the batch."The customer’s eyes light up after he takes a long swig."Ah, I swear this gets better every time. You sure you're not using some kind of magic on this stuff?""No magic, just some good trial and error. And maybe a secret ingredient or two,” I shrug proudly, my smile widening as some other men laugh agreeably from their seats.When I think back to those days and weeks of aimless wandering six years ago, after I left my hometown and packed, I’m just grateful. It was fate, or maybe just dumb luck that led me to Moonlight Pack. I remember stumbling into town, exhausted and wary, expecting to be turned away li

KANE POVMoonlight Pack. They're a small pack tucked away in the foothills about a four-day run from our territory. It’s not the kind of place you'd stumble across by accident, but not so remote that it's completely cut off from the world. From what I've heard, they mostly keep to themselves. They're not big players in politics nor do they have much in the way of resources or territory."We're next," I mutter, more to myself than to Dan after doing quick calculations and eliminations in my head."You think they'll come to us for help," Dan finishes and I nod again.“Gather the elders for a quick meeting,” I add contemplatively, handing the folder back to Dan.He takes it with a nod and turns to leave.Something… I don’t know what, but it makes me grab Dan’s arm quickly.My eyes drift to the training grounds below me, where another pair of wolves have started sparring. But I'm not really seeing them because my mind is now racing a million miles per hour."Moonlight Pack… do we have any

LIANA POVI still keep my gaze fixed on the view outside, but I can feel her eyes boring into my back."Oh, I get it. Do you think waltzing back here now that Kane is Alpha will help you pick up your trashy life again? Remember what I told you last time, Liana? You don't belong here. You never did, and you never will.""Is that what helps you sleep at night?" I ask sarcastically.“Huh?” Juliet mumbles.I twist my neck slightly, glancing at her from the corner of my eye."Funny, I don't see much improvement in your life either. Still nothing better to do than chase after gossip and harass people? Some things never change, I guess."I imagine her scowling behind me.“Yeah, you told me back then that you are the one who deserves to be with Kane. You ticked all the boxes, you’re perfect for him. And yet..." I nod slowly at the view. "Here we are, six years later, and you’re still not Luna.”“But at least I'm not you, crawling back here after all this time,” she fires back."Crawling?" I s
