All Chapters of the alpha who chose the broken luna : Chapter 21 - Chapter 29

LILIANA'S POVI gave Amara a long look.She sat next to me, her red hair blowing in the evening breeze.Be calm.at ease.Gorgeous.The kind of beauty that, without even trying, made women like me feel self-conscious.Perhaps that's why I was troubled by what she said.Or perhaps it was the manner in which she expressed them.As if she had knowledge that I didn't.I turned to face the flowers again."What do you mean?"Amara gave a gentle smile.It had an innocent expression.However, my wolf felt uneasy about it for some reason."He has always been like that," she remarked. "Protective."I gave a slow nod.It wasn't exactly a secret.Darian kept his pack safe.His people.even unfamiliar people.From one of the flowers, Amara took a tiny leaf."He was worse when we were younger."I said nothing.I wasn't uninterested.since I was.Perhaps a bit too eager.Regretfully."He used to get into fights for me."My stomach twisted.Just a little bit.Amara laughed softly."The poor boys neve

LILIANA'S POVThere was total silence in the dining room.I fixed my eyes on the guard.The guard returned the stare.I honestly believed for a second that I had misheard him.My documents?Which files?I had never entered the council archives at all.Why would someone steal documents that are related to me?The question took root in my mind right away.heavy.uncomfortable.Darian pushed his chair back slowly.His gray eyes narrowed a little."What kind of files?"The guard took a swallow."Personal records."My stomach turned.That sounded awful.Excellent.Ava questioned, "What personal records?"The guard appeared uneasy."As far as we know, documents related to Miss Liliana's family."My heart skipped a beat.Family?I straightened my posture.Right away.since that was illogical.My parents had passed away.Years had passed since their deaths.Which documents might be crucial right now?My expression must have showed my confusion.because everyone turned to look at me.waiting.

LILIANA'S POV"Taryn."The name echoed through the office.For a second, nobody spoke.No one moved.I just looked at Sarah.I was certain I had heard incorrectly.Because this was completely nonsensical.Taryn detested paperwork.had always had.The man looked like he wanted to die during a financial meeting.Why, therefore, would he suddenly be interested in old records related to my family?It didn't make sense.Not even a little.And yet Sarah looked absolutely terrified. Hardly terrified people tell lies.Darian's expression was still unreadable.Unreadable at all.Honestly, I was starting to think the man had been born without normal emotions."Explain."Sarah nodded immediately.Her whole body trembled."He came to me two days ago.""Personally?""Yes, Alpha."Darian looked at the guards for a moment.He was obviously taken by surprise by that.I was also taken by surprise Taryn never dealt with issues directly.His dirty work was always done by someone else.Always.This impl

LILIANA'S POVTaryn left and the room was silent for a long time.Darian and I stayed still.I didn't.My legs were still weak.My parents' deaths weren't an accident.The words kept repeating in my head.Again."And once again.And once again.I wanted them to cease.They did not.Darian shut the door quietly.Then looked at me.His face was inscrutable.But his eyes—”His eyes were worried.Troubled.That scared me more than anything.Because if Darian was worried, then something was very wrong.What did he tell you?”The question was asked softly.Very carefully.Like he was scared I might break.To be honest?I was almost breaking.Very near.I swallowed. Hard.My parents weren't supposed to die, he said.Saying the words out loud made it worse.More real.Darian stiffened.He remained silent for a few moments.Nothing whatsoever.Then he exhaled slowly.He shouldn't have said that to you.I looked at him.My heart sank immediately.“You knew.There was no question.Darian looked

LILIANA'S POVNeither of us said a word.We just stared at the empty space in the cabinet.The journal had vanished.Not wrong.Not loaned.Gone.I felt a strange sensation in my chest.Someone had been there before us.Someone who knew exactly what they wanted.Darian slammed the cupboard.The library rang with a loud sound.His jaw was clenched.He had his fists clenched.I had never seen him look this angry.Not even when Taryn made a scene at the ball.Whoever had taken that journal had crossed the line.And we both knew." When did you last see it?I asked softly.Darian said nothing, at first.He rubbed a hand down his face.Three days ago.3 days ago.That was short."It couldn't have just disappeared."I know."His voice was glacial.Ice-cold.I bolted this cupboard myself.I stared at the padlock, broken.It wasn't broken.So that meant..."They had a key.Darian nodded slowly.Or someone opened it for them.A cold chill went down my spine.That was somehow worse.In the mans
