Semua Bab Rejected Chubby Luna; Claimed By The Lycan King: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Seraphina’s POVVanessa and her mother stood frozen in the entrance hall. The moment I said they had to clean, their faces changed completely. Vanessa looked at the gray maid uniform like it was something dirty. Her mother stepped back with wide eyes.“We cannot do hard labor,” Vanessa said quickly. Her voice was sharp. “This is too much. We are not servants. We have never cleaned floors or scrubbed anything in our lives. Our hands are soft and our backs cannot handle this kind of work. You cannot ask us to do this.”Her mother nodded fast. She looked almost scared. “Yes, Seraphina. We came here to apologize with good hearts. We brought nice gifts. Making us clean like common workers is not fair. We are high status in our pack. This is beneath us. Please understand.”I stood there and looked at both of them. Old memories came rushing back, I remembered every single day I lived under their roof. I remembered the pain and the shame I went through, then I took a slow breath and spoke cal

Maxwell’s POVI could not sit still. I walked back and forth across the living room like a trapped animal. My body still hurt from the beating Seraphina and Emelda gave me. Every step sent pain through my ribs but the pain in my heart was worse. I kept looking at the clock. My mother and sister had gone to see Seraphina since yesterday and are yet to be back. They had gone to apologize to her and promise to bring back good news. Finally the front door opened and I turned fast. My mother and Vanessa walked in. Their faces were red and covered in tears and their clothes looked dirty. Their hands were red. They both looked completely broken.“Mother? Vanessa?” I asked. My voice was rough. “What happened? How did it go ? Did she agree to accept me back? Did she forgive us? Did she agree to talk to Caspian—?”My mother sat down on the couch and started crying harder. “What happened?” I demanded, panic clawing up my throat. “Mom? Vanessa? Talk to me!”It took twenty minutes to get the wh

Seraphina’s POVThe news hit like a slap across my face as I stood in the middle of our bedroom with my phone in my hand scrolling through headline after headline. My stomach twisted tighter with every swipe that I wished I hadn’t checked my phone.The first headline made my stomach twist.“Questions Raised Over Lycan King’s Influence in Crestwood.”The second was even worse.“Critics Demand Review of Princess Seraphina’s Leadership.”By the time I checked the third article, my hands were trembling so badly that I nearly dropped my phone.Every news channel seemed to be saying the same thing in different words. Some questioned whether I could truly serve Crestwood while mated to the Lycan King while others hinted that Caspian’s growing involvement in the pack would eventually overshadow my leadership.I dropped my phone on the bed, “How dare they,” I whispered as the rage burned hot in my throat. They were calling my mate a parasite, spitting on everything we had built together.Cas

Seraphina’s POVEvery eye turned towards me the moment I stepped through the doors, the council chambers fell silent. All twelve elders were already seated when I walked in. Their faces were a mix of arrogance and unease. The heavy doors closed behind me with a deep boom that echoed through the hall. They’d been talking when the doors opened. I heard Elder Reed’s voice: “…if she thinks we’ll just roll over because her husband—” then they kept quiet when they saw me.Some shifted in their chairs. Others stared straight ahead with their jaws tight. They had expected me to come in begging or crying but they were wrong.I didn’t sit, instead I just stood at the head of the table with my shoulders back and chin high. Caspian stood just behind my right shoulder and his presence sent steady warmth through our mate bond, reminding me I was not alone.I let the silence stretch until someone coughed then I spoke, my voice low but very sharp.“Good morning,” I said as my voice echoed through

Laura’s POVThe sharp knock on the bedroom door yanked me from sleep and before I could even open my eyes properly, the curtains were pulled apart, flooding the room with harsh morning light.I groaned and buried my face in the pillow. “Five more minutes…”“Five more minutes?” Vanessa’s voice dripped with disbelief. “You really think this is a hotel?”Before I knew what was happening Maxwell’s mother threw ice-cold water straight from the bucket all over my body. It soaked all over my head, sheets and pillow. I shot up with a gasp, choking and clawing at my face. “What the—”“Good morning, Luna,” Vanessa said.I blinked the water out of my eyes. “Are you insane?” I sputtered, shoving wet hair out of my face. My nightgown clung to my barely noticeable bump. “What the hell is wrong with you two? That’s freezing! You could have just called my name like normal people!”Maxwell’s mother stepped closer, eyes narrowed. “Normal people? You’re not normal anymore. You’re the one who dragged
