Semua Bab The Barren Luna’s Revenge; Dear Ex, Your Only Heir Is Mine: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Carmen's POVIt did not take long to get to the veil of darkness.The seamless invisible veil was as regal as usual, standing tall as it reached the heavens. As I stared at the veil, I sighed, because this was my second time near the veil.The first time, I was still a young naive bride, eagerly running towards my own doom. Now, I walked towards the veil of darkness, with secrets and a purpose.A purpose to take revenge, revenge on all those who wronged me.After shifting into my wolf form, I kept a careful distance from Silas, his golden brown Alpha overpowered me.An unnatural pain shot up in my belly that shifted me to the side. This pain, it felt like a kick. Did my child just kick me?My child, this was actually the first time I felt his presence. A feeling of happiness came over me as I looked at my belly.“My child,” I whispered, my eyes gazing at my belly. I could feel the restlessness of the child, forcing me to get closer to his father.Instantly, the happiness in my heart f

Cayden's POVThe nightshade pack had always honored their dead differently.Humans buried themselves beneath the cold earth and spoke soft prayers to their loved ones before moving on with their lives, but in the supernatural world, the practice was quite different.Wolves believe death was not the ending; it was a return. A return to the moon, to the moon goddess, our progenitor.A return to the very origin of our existence, an origin that watched over every hunt, every birth, and every war fought beneath silvery-blue skies.My mother had been dead for centuries, yet her anniversary was treated like the passing of a queen whose spirit still wandered among us. The entire pack grounds transformed festively as the night approached.The moment the moon rose, the celebration began. Black banners embroidered with the insignia of the Nightshade pack were hung from the high stone walls of the manor.The flames for the torches burned ever so brightly along the ceremonial path leading to the a

Cayden's PovThe words of Sarah pushed me to my limit, my claws extended from my nails in rage.I dug my hands into my palm to stop my anger and regain my senses.A commotion distracted Sarah as her gaze shifted to the dining hall. I also looked over, a familiar scent warted over my nostrils.Carmen!She wore a long flowing purple gown, the shiny pearls in her gown seemed to radiate the glow of the moonlight.She looked every bit like a Luna. A wonderful one. And she was pretty.I had no idea how that thought came into my mind but I let it remain there.She arrived with Silas and they already had a problem with others, really?Silas really was not born with the gift of silence. He had already spoken enough carp with a loud voice that I could hear him clearly.I was not even there but the words that I heard irritated me, not to mention the short-tempered Jaime.“Shall we take a look?” Sarah asked me as she stood up. Clearly, she was not even asking.A sign of domination and I had not e

Cayden's POVThe light swallowed me whole. One moment, I was right there in the celestial realm with my mother, and the next, the bright spots gathered around my body like fireflies and carried me off against my will.Mother's figure blurred at the edges, her smile trembled with sadness. As she lifted a hand toward me, all I could hear was her distant voice.“Carmen's baby should not be touched.”“The child is a prophecy…and a reckoning.” Everything shattered. It was just like a dream I didn't want to believe happened.I gasped violently as my eyes snapped open. My knees were in pain as they hit the cold floor. Sweat drenched both my shirt, and my chest. I gasped for air, and was breathing unevenly, as if I had just been fished out of water.The parchment was beside me, with its edges burned black, and a clear message that it cannot be used to transport me to my mother again.Carmen, who stood a few feet away, stared at me shocked. I could see her wide-open mouth as she gazed at me.

Carmen's POVThe atmosphere inside the trail grounds turned explosive after Sarah's declaration. The fragile balance that had briefly favoured Caude disappeared instantly, leaving the entire arena hanging on uncertainty once again.Two generals for him, two generals against him.Whispers spread like wildfire through the crowd while nobles engaged nervous glances. No one expected just a simple voting session to spiral this far.Sarah stood proudly after her declaration, her face still coated in rage and anger at her rejection.Unexpectedly, though, Jaime stood up from the ground, stared at Cayden for a while before he gave Sarah a weird look.“Are you stupid? If you are, at times like this, pretend to have some sense,” he scoffed at Sarah.“What did you say?” Sarah asked, her face more of surprise than of anger.Yes! What did Jaime say? We all knew that Jaime despised Cayden, he had always teased Cayden, even now, he was the reason Cayden took out the parchment in the first place.Now,
