Semua Bab The Luna He Never Deserved: Bab 61 - Bab 70

NARAYAFinally, the heavens stopped laughing and closed its mouth, but still, the moon hid its face.Aunty Kayuta wrapped both arms around me, one hand rubbing slow circles over my back while my tears soaked into the shoulder of her wrapper.Beside us, Zoey knelt over a bucket, wringing rainwater from my clothes one shirt at a time. Each twist sent muddy water splashing onto the floor.No one spoke.The crackling fire was the only sound until another sob escaped my throat.“Raya. Raya!” Zilla's screams filled the air as she worked her key through the door. “You won't believe what happened,” she said, clicking the door shut, but when she turned around… a frown creased her face.“Did you trek back with your things on your head?” she asked, stepping through some of my things, water still dripping off them.She tossed her bag on the couch and pulled herself closer. Her lips parted, but no words came out. She exhaled, slapping her thigh. “Anyone want to tell me what's going on?”“Aunty Nara

ROGER“Are the documents ready?”“Arh... almost, Alpha. In another day or two...”I lowered the phone to my thigh, but his voice still grated against my ears through the speakers.My hand stretched to the side of my head. Silas seemed to have noticed, and the car slowed.I lifted the phone again. “Just... just... You are fired.”“What? Alpha. Please. I...”Crack. I ended the call and sent a mind-link to Rhea.“Good evening, boss. Are you forgetting...”“Just shut up and listen,” I hissed.She gulped, and the line went silent.“Get a replacement for the new staff you hired and make sure his replacement is able to finalise the documents before the end of tomorrow.”“Sir?”“Do I need to repeat myself?” I said out loud.“No-no, sir. I got it loud and clear.”“You need to relax, Alpha,” Silas said, glancing at me through the rearview mirror. “VoxTin is already doing great.”“Tell that to the Lycan King,” I hissed. “Are you really sure he's coming to BloodMoon?”Silas' eyes returned to the r

NARAYAThe streetlights flickered.I wrapped my arms around myself as I watched Roger's car disappear into the night.The cold wind slipped through my clothes, raising goosebumps along my arms, but I barely noticed it.I pulled my phone from my jean pocket.{Hey dear. I'm done, please pick me up.}My thumb hovered over the send icon.I stared at the message for a second before locking my screen instead.I could walk a few distances myself.“Remember, your friends might be the ones you should be wary of.” Roger's voice replayed in my head.I don't keep friends. He knows that.A cracked laugh escaped me.Of course. He couldn't leave without planting one last seed of doubt in my head.Now he wanted me looking over my shoulder at the people I actually loved.What would Zilla possibly gain from hurting me?“Don't let him get to your head,” Ava muttered within me.My voice lowered. “I won't.”She had been unusually silent all evening.Sitting beside our mate's wife had already tested her pat

NARAYAA Few Days LaterZilla stood in front of the large dressing mirror, tugging the hem of her dress down for what had to be the twentieth time.“I told you already.” I sighed, watching her pull it down again. “Your dress is hot.”“Don't you think this is too short?” She pinched the hem between her fingers and frowned at her reflection. “My thighs are practically on display.”“Maybe I should wear something longer.”She turned toward the closet.“Or some leggings.”“Zilla.”She ignored me, already pushing clothes from one hanger to another.The door to the room creaked.Zoey poked her head inside before stepping fully into the room. She held the pair of red heels she'd gone downstairs to get.Her eyes swept over the clothes scattered across the floor.“What's this?”She dropped the heels onto the bed.Zilla shot her a look over her shoulder.“What does it look like? I'm trying to get comfortable here.”“Aunty Naya… are you seeing this?”I let out a low breath. At this point, it doesn

SILASIf I had to choose between Naraya and the Luna, then I felt sorry for Melissa.She doesn't deserve any of this.Roger barely seemed to care about what she felt anymore. He only cared about keeping her trapped inside the illusion that he loved her.With Naraya, it was different.I couldn't pretend Roger's obsession with her hadn't bothered me. One man was already dead. Another nearly lost his life. And if Naraya didn't give Roger what he wanted, I had a feeling the list wouldn't end there.She had five years of her life to see for herself what kind of person he truly was.I tried warning her. More than once. I'd dropped clues and waited for her to connect the dots herself.But she never did.Now he was losing his patience. And if he does lose it completely… none of us will be safe.A horn blared behind me.I glanced into the rearview mirror just in time to see a sedan brake inches from Roger's favourite sports car.The driver leaned out of his window and raised his middle finger b
