Semua Bab Alpha's Regret, His Rejected Luna is Hidden Heiress: Bab 181 - Bab 190

Ceres's POVJason and Samantha were standing together at the peak of a mountain in the photo.Jason wore a black winter jacket, his bright smile effortlessly charming. Samantha leaned into him, her own smile confident and proud.They looked… perfect together.A deep, unspoken understanding radiated between them, the kind only shared by wolves bound by years of familiarity. It wasn’t just a picture. It was a moment—one of warmth, of history and of a connectionSomething inside me tightened.I had no right to feel frustrated. No right to let this sting.And yet, my wolf curled inward, unsettled.Wonder filled my eyes as I stared at the picture.Jason had been different back then—gentle, open, his eyes brimming with warmth. Even though he was strong, even feared, he had softened in front of the one he loved.The Jason I knew wasn’t like this.He was always composed, always controlled. His gaze held emotions I couldn’t quite decipher, shadows lurking behind his blue irises. He was kind to

Ceres's POVJason’s jawline was smooth and defined, but it was his scent that sent a shiver down my spine. His deep eyes held something unreadable, something torn. The collar of his shirt was slightly open, revealing a hint of muscle, his posture careless yet tense.Our gazes locked, and for a fleeting moment, something primal stirred between us. An unspoken connection.A hint of sorrow flickered in his gaze, while mine remained clear, searching. I didn’t flinch. I wasn’t wary of him. I saw warmth, something I had never been given despite everything I had sacrificed. But Jason gave it freely, without expectation.His stare softened, his fingers twitching as if resisting the urge to reach for me.I closed the distance before he could talk himself out of it. My lips brushed his in a fleeting kiss—warm, soft, nothing more than a whisper of contact. A taste of something neither of us had the courage to claim.I pulled back, the ghost of a smile on my lips. He gave me warmth, and I gave hi

Ceres's POVShe arched a brow, her expression unreadable, then casually tossed a champagne-colored gift box at me. Without waiting for a response, she strolled inside, her tone light."I can’t be running errands for free, you know. A cup of coffee would be nice.""Of course."I turned, lifting the hem of my dress as I walked inside. With a glance at the nearest servant, I instructed, "Bring the coffee upstairs.""Yes, Luna," the servant replied quickly.The staff watched the exchange carefully, their concern obvious. In their eyes, I was probably gentle, easygoing—the kind of Luna who never raised her voice or made a fuss. But Samantha? She must be unpredictable.Samantha led the way upstairs, settling into the second-floor living room’s small balcony. She ran her fingers over the fine texture of the custom-made sofa before tilting her head up at the massive diamond chandelier overhead."He really likes you," she mused, almost to herself.I stilled, caught off guard.There was no sarc

Ceres's POV"She’s trying to drive a wedge between us. Don’t you know how I feel about you?" Jason asked.His expression at that moment was painfully familiar—those clear, gentle brows, those watchful eyes always cautious around me, as if afraid I'd slip away.He always acted like the vulnerable one in our relationship.Like I had the power here.But the ache in my chest whispered that none of it was real.It reminded me too much of my past—of Richard, of my own foolish devotion.I inhaled deeply, forcing my pulse to steady. My voice, when I spoke, was quiet but firm."Jason, have you ever lied to me?"His brow twitched."If you have, tell me now," I continued. "I can still forgive you… We can still fix this."I was giving him one last chance.One final moment to prove himself.Because no matter how much my instincts screamed at me, I couldn’t ignore all the times he’d saved me. The way he’d held me when I was weak. The battles he’d fought for me.But I also couldn’t ignore the suffer

Ceres's POVI flinched, my hand dropping instantly. My heart lurched, but I quickly masked my reaction, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear as I turned.“I was looking for Jason,” I said smoothly, my voice betraying none of the storm raging inside me.The servant smiled with relief upon seeing me. I wasn’t acting strange like yesterday.“Alpha Jason has gone to the company,” she informed me.I lowered my gaze. “I see.”I remained by the door, looking up at her. “Did you clean his bedroom?”“Alpha Jason didn’t give orders for that today,” she replied respectfully. “What would you like to eat, Luna? You didn’t have anything yesterday, and Alpha Jason was worried. He told me to prepare something to suit your appetite.”A lie. He wasn’t worried. He was controlling.“Spicy food,” I said abruptly. “Do you know how to make it?”The servant blinked, clearly taken aback. “I… I’ll find someone who can cook it right away.”The chefs here were trained in fine dining—nutritional balance,
