Queen Of Two Packs: Broken Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Elara looked from above, on the throne, down to the bowing heads of the people and focused on looking around the large space, trying not to gape at how devastatingly beautiful the Blood court was. The second pack Alpha Riven ruled was beautiful!!! She had thought it was just a small community of old, naughty wolves, but no...this was truly a city. The walkway that Riven had led them through where he had touched her cheek like he... Well... That walkway was a full on avenue, and around them, rising high into the dark mountains and gloom, were buildings and spires, homes and bridges. A metropolis carved from the dark stone of the mountain itself, no inch of it left unmarked or without some lovely, hideous artwork etched into it. Figures danced and fornicated; begged and reveled. Pillars were carved to look like curving vines of night-blooming flowers. Water ran throughout in little streams and rivers tapped from the heart of the mountain itself. Elara turned her attention to herself

The whole pack remained frozen, their breath held in reverence, or was it fear, as Elara’s glowing hair crackled in the gloom, throwing strange silver light across the obsidian floor. No one spoke. No one dared. Not after the display they had just witnessed.Riven’s thumb swept once across her thigh again. A subtle touch, grounding almost like he was reminding her he was still present, and with her. But then a voice cut through the silence like a jagged blade.“Well,” came a high, cold drawl. “She certainly knows how to make an entrance and pull a crowd”The entire room shifted. Heads turned slowly toward the voice, like vampires scenting blood.Just as Elara was trying to figure out the direction the voice was coming from, she heard it again. A soft drawl, smooth as venom. “It’s good to see the strange new Luna is not just a glowing decoration, but also a glowing whore.”The words didn’t echo as usual. They landed like dead weight in the throne room, pulling everyone’s attention to

Elara stood alone by the wide stone window of the mountain house after they had returned home, her hands braced against the cold ledge as she stared out across the endless mountains.Her mind was still in the Blood Court.Still in that chamber of carved stone and lowered eyes.Still hearing the sharp crack beneath her feet as the marble floor splintered under the force of her rage.Still feeling the heat of power rushing through her veins.Still hearing Riven’s voice at her ear.The events at the Blood Court still clung to her skin like heat, the gasps, the fear in their eyes, the way the room had trembled because of her anger.And Riven... Riven was...well...confusing.The images from what she had just experienced under him... under the mountain...Yes... her mind and body were confused.The way he had stepped behind her without hesitation. The way his power had wrapped around hers, it was so new, and strange and it was very embarrassing and she would never admit it in front of Rive

Elara waited until she was sure Alpha Riven had left her room, before sge quietly sneaked back in. She really did not want to speak to him or anyone else about the damned mountain or whatever happened in it.Elara paced the stone-floored chamber repeatedly... trying amd failing to calm her heart... it was getting darker outside. The flickering lanterns along the walls cast shadows that danced across her skin as she moved. Her boots clicked with every step, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, more to hold herself together than out of comfort.Everything felt different... she felt different. She’d punished someone. With power that felt like it didn’t just rise from inside her, but crashed through her like a fucking tidal wave. And then… his touch. Fucking hell... she would never be able to stop thinking about his touch, would she?She could still feel the ghost of his touch and that was just crazy. This is Riven for goddess sake. The insufferable, disgustingly proud and cocky Ri

The world tilted sideways...no, it fucking tumbled and scattered. Up became down and down was nowhere to be found as Elara stumbled from underneath Riven, not really remembering what had just happened between them. All she could hear was Willow... Willow was missing.She stood frozen in the middle of the training room, her chest rising and falling too fast as her mother’s words rang over and over again in her head.Willow. Gone. She was gone. Not just gone, she had been taken. "Taken? By who?" She asked, feeling stupid for asking even when a certain name kept gnawing at her mind. Scratching at her senses. Selena was still breathless, trying helplessly to put her words together and explain."They... I saw... Elara help...Willow. They took..." Tears streamed down her stoic, mature face. Elara could see her mothers lips moving, bit she could not hear. The training room felt suddenly too small, the stone walls pressing in like they were going to crush her. The heat from the sparri
