Semua Bab Blood Moon's Alpha: His Rejected Mate, His Hidden Heir: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Kieran's POV: ~~~ I open my eyes to the bed's freezing coldness. My heavy arm lay across tangled, empty sheets. I sit up, my muscles coiled tight. My wolf snarls deep in my chest, a violent and primal protest at the sudden absence of our mate. The cabin is saturated with the heavy, musky scent of sex. The rich aroma of wild honey, damp rain, and raw female arousal hangs thick in the crisp morning air. I close my eyes and let vivid memories of last night flood my mind. I remember exactly how perfectly her soft curves fit against me. I remember the velvet heat of her walls wrapping around my thick length, milking me, driving me to madness. I claimed her in every possible way. I pinned her against the door. I bent her over the mattress. We tangled in the rough linens until we were both utterly ruined. I couldn’t get enough. Her desperate touch burned my skin like a hot iron brand; her intoxicating scent drove me feral. The fated mate bond pulsed between us with terri

Alpha Kieran looks at me.Really look at me. But his expression is confused. But the intensity of his gaze terrifies me.I'm paralyzed with fear. If I mess up right now, if I show even a hint of recognition, Silas will kill me on the spot.I know of the wolfsbane Beta Silas has been feeding Alpha Kieran, because the person he's tasked with that is Leslie, whom Beta Silas has assigned to serve in the royal kitchen.Leslie, not knowing about Alpha Kieran and me being mates, shared the news with me.So now, Alpha Kieran is Beta Silas’ puppet.“Were you at the Shadow Woods a few days ago?” Kieran asks. His voice is a low, dangerous rumble that vibrates straight to my core, bringing back uninvited memories of him claiming me.My breath catches. Before I can even attempt to form a safe answer, a sharp screech cuts through the air.“Oh, how clumsy of me!” Lady Victoria cries out loudly.The grand room falls quiet, all eyes turning toward the table.A glass has been knocked off the table, and

Kieran's POV:~~~A heavy, suffocating fog clings to my mind, refusing to lift.Alone in my study, I stare at the empty porcelain cup in my hand. The tea the maids bring always tastes bitter, earthy, and metallic, but I drink it anyway to soothe the strange, inexplicable ache burning deep within me.My beast, usually roaring and restless at the slightest provocation, feels strangely heavy today. It hides in the dark corners of my mind, sluggish, silent, and barely tracking the world around us.I have no idea why my instincts are so dulled, but the fog makes it nearly impossible to think straight.Despite the thick haze clouding my mind, the doubt remains. It claws at my sanity like a persistent parasite.Three days ago, I saw the marks blooming across Victoria's neck and collarbone, the undeniable evidence of my savage claim from the cabin.Yet, whenever I reach for her hand, the mate bond feels dead. There is no spark, no primal fire. Only a cold, vast numbness that freezes my blood.

The two weeks pass like a slow execution. Morgana spends every day in a state of constant, suffocating heartache as she's forced to watch the estate prepare for a royal union.In those two weeks she had seen Alpha Kieran once when she escorted Lady Victoria to her bridal shopping.She had cried that evening. She recalled Alpha Kieran's compliment when Lady Victoria tried on an elegant gown. And how he looked at her with murderous intent the few times their eyes had met.It made her realize she lost him.But she just couldn't help it.Alpha Kieran, on the other hand, prepares for his future with Lady Victoria, unaware that the servant girl he left behind is crumbling to pieces in the shadows.Today is the day Alpha Kieran is set to marry Lady Victoria.The Silas estate is a chaotic whirlwind of preparation, but the morning begins with terror.Morgana lost her silver necklace. The clasp snapped while she scrubbed the lower laundry floors in the dead of night.Though she searches frantic

Morgana wakes to a nightmare.She is lying on the freezing stone floor of an isolation cell.There are no windows, no light, only a heavy iron door that seals her away from the world.The pain radiating from her back is excruciating; every tiny movement causes her torn flesh to burn as if it were on fire.Soon a fever rages through her body, making her shiver uncontrollably against the ice-cold stone.She begins to hallucinate and live her worst fears.She recalls her mother and father dying, she remembers a young boy who had protected her that day, and she sees Kieran, standing in front of her, the lady Victoria joins.“Oh, Morgana. Your man is mine now. Kiss me, my Alpha.” Lady Victoria tells Alpha Kieran, and he obeys, kissing her deeply as she moans.“K-Kieran… I'm your mate, why wouldn't you look at me…?” Morgana sobs brokenly.“Hahaha.” Lady Victoria laughs after breaking the kiss. Just then, a dagger appears in her hand; she places it in Kieran's hand and instructs him.“Kill h
