บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Broken Luna: Wolfless Servant to The King's Mate: บทที่ 111 - บทที่ 120

ZlataI walked out of the Council room on wobbling legs that threatened to give out beneath me. Julian caught me before I hit the floor. I still couldn't process how completely the tide had turned in less than an hour. Once, I'd been a Luna in name only, forever overshadowed by my sister. And now — now that I'd finally earned love and recognition of my own — I was being shoved back into the shadows as a dirty secret. A shameless mistress.I couldn't do that. And I couldn't give up on Julian, either.I found my footing again as Maverick and Chase caught up with us. Maverick ushered everyone into a small lounge just off the Council room and shut the door."How are you feeling?" he asked me once Julian had settled me on his lap in a chair.I hadn't wanted anyone in that council meeting to see how broken I was. But now, in this room, my mask crumbled."Terrified. Humiliated. Hopeless," I mumbled, and Julian kissed my forehead, drawing me tighter against him."Zlata, there is no world in w

Zlata Every eye in the room was fixed on Maverick — and he was taking his sweet time, strolling slowly to his seat, glancing over the strained faces, and saying nothing at all. I could feel Julian's emotions strung tight as a wire about to snap. My own were a tangled knot, hollow and humming, a ticking bomb inside me ready to detonate. Maverick began calmly arranging a stack of documents and books on the desk, as though he couldn't feel the tension crackling through the room. "Your Highness, you asked to speak, so please, speak," Elder Jacob pressed. Maverick tilted his head, smiling smugly. "Oh, yes. You told us before that, under Article 1142, Luna Zlata can not serve as Luna because she was previously marked. So, Elder Jacob, you're absolutely certain there's no way around it?" Julian's expression darkened; he drummed his fingers nervously against his thigh. Elder Jacob frowne

Zlata"Wow — you have a killer body," Tessa exclaimed, whistling as I emerged from the bushes in my bikini.We'd barely started toward the rest of the group when Julian appeared. For a heartbeat, his eyes darkened with lust, and then he shook his head in disbelief."Absolutely not. You are not performing the ritual dressed in that," he snarled. "Cover yourself. This is for my eyes only."Tessa huffed. "Julian, we didn't exactly pack a burkini.""Then find a solution," he snapped. "You came to help — so help."Tessa rolled her eyes and stalked back to the SUV, rummaged through her luggage for a small eternity, and finally returned, handing me a long-sleeved beige muslin maxi dress."Here. I actually bought it for my grandmother. No idea how it ended up in my bag."Julian inspected the dress and pulled it over my head himself."Perfect," he said, kissing my forehead.It was ridiculously long and

JulianI still couldn't quite believe it was all over — and more than that, that my angel had received the blessing of the Moon Goddess herself.The next few days passed in a joyful blur of preparation for our mating ceremony. The invitations had gone out well before Alpha Cassian arrived with his ridiculous claim, so at least that was already handled. I tried to savour every free minute with Zlata, though we had precious few of them. I was racing to wrap up urgent matters before our honeymoon, and Zlata was juggling the academy, her company, the hospital, and her Luna duties all at once. My mother couldn't stop singing her praises — and rightly so; Zlata was brilliant at everything she touched. More and more, Mother had taken to hinting that she was looking forward to grandpups. And, well — we were working very hard on that. Every single night.The only thing that had truly changed in the palace was Maverick. The notorious playboy — and, more recently, my mate's shameless stalker — h

ZlataHe thought he could intimidate me. He thought wrong. I was no longer that docile little wife starving for his attention — and it was time he met the new me.I didn't flinch. I didn't cast my eyes down. I stood tall and proud, surprised even at myself — at how steady the rhythm of my heart stayed, how calm my voice came out."You're right — the mark can't be washed off in a river. But it vanished long before that, in the Moon Goddess's temple, where after the beating and the miscarriage, I severed our bond myself. And my love for you died even earlier — the moment I heard Thalia's first moan while you were inside her. We are nothing to each other, Alpha Travis. So I suggest you be a good subject: go into the hall, take your seat, and when the time comes, kneel to your queen."In my wildest dreams I could never have imagined how satisfying it would be to watch the man who'd ground my dignity into the mud — the man who'd broken me beyond repair — now shaking with fury and unable to
