Alle Kapitel von THE LUNA WITHOUT A WOLF: Kapitel 41 – Kapitel 50

After I forgave Evelyn and Roland, we spent some more time in my room, just like old times. The only difference was that Liam wasn't there. He seemed to be really busy these days.Evelyn sat on the edge of my bed while I sat beside her. Roland occupied the chair at my vanity. They began telling me what had happened at school during the few days I had been absent.Just like Ronan had guessed, things hadn't been easy for them.They had been bullied by other students simply because they were associated with a "murderer." Even when they tried to stand up for themselves, things only got worse because it seemed like almost every student was against them.They were called names like "accomplices" and "co-murderers."I felt terrible knowing they had gone through all of that because they were my friends."I feel bad for making you guys go through something like that because of me.""Don't..." Evelyn immediately interrupted.I looked at her."But it's…."Roland cut me off before I could finish.

RONAN'S POV Ever since Seraphina and I officially became mates without rejecting each other, there had been that one thought constantly occupying my mind.Marking her.When I was a child, being the heir to the throne meant I wasn't allowed to have much of a normal childhood. Father never let me make friends freely, so I spent most of my time reading.I read books that most people my age wouldn't even come across in the next five years.Those books taught me a lot about the werewolf world. Mating, mate bonds, marking, rogue wolves, different packs, and the traditions that came with them.So I knew that marking Seraphina would completely seal our bond. It would make it much harder for Father and his cohort to try to separate us again.But I was anxious.A mate mark wasn't something you simply decided to give someone. There had to be mutual agreement because it wasn't just a bite on the skin.It was the sealing of a lifetime bond. It was a promise, a declaration that she was mine and I

RONAN'S POVI didn't leave the room even after hearing what my wolf had said.She had suddenly been acting strange ever since the mark, and the fact that she now thought the clothes that once made her feel comfortable were suddenly boring only made it more obvious.Still, I didn't want to jump to conclusions, I thought maybe there was a reasonable explanation for her behavior, but now hearing this from my wolf had only confirmed what I had already suspected. But that didn't mean I was going to run away like a scaredy-cat.Seraphina was still my mate, even if she wasn't the one occupying her body right now. If I eventually ran away, she might remain like this, and I could end up losing my mate.I watched her as she walked around the room, trying to change some of the things the real Seraphina had kept in there.I observed her carefully, trying to determine whether she was dangerous or harmless.So far, she seemed fine.I was going to send someone to check on her at the academy and the

RONAN'S POVOne moment, Seraphina was standing behind me with a knife pressed against my neck and the next moment, her grip on the knife began to loosen.I didn't move.I could have had the knife taken away from her within a few seconds, but I didn't do that because I didn't want to cause a scene or do anything that might alert her parents.I don't think they had really noticed the difference between this Seraphina and the previous Seraphina. Or perhaps they had, but her mother still believed it was because of the effects of the mark.I didn't say anything because I didn't want them to become suspicious and eventually stop me from seeing Seraphina.As I watched her carefully, I could easily tell that something was changing.Her expression had changed. The anger that had been in her eyes moments ago had begun to fade, replaced by something I couldn't quite understand.She looked as though she were arguing with someone because her lips moved slightly, but I couldn't make out what she wa

SERAPHINA'S POV“I asked you to stay away from my son, but you stubbornly refused. Not only did you disobey my order to reject him, but you are still clinging to him with your miserable self.”The Alpha King's cold voice filled the carriage. He didn't even reply to my greeting when I stepped inside.I sat silently across from him, my hands resting on my lap as I stared down at them, letting the him speak. I didn't utter a word.“Now that he's about to be coronated, you think he'll still get married to you? You better be joking.”I didn't answer.I simply lowered my head.He stared at me for a moment before continuing.“We already have a suitable wife for him. She's also suitable and smart enough for the throne, and I'm certain you know her.”I slowly raised my head and looked at him, I already knew who he was talking about.Amara.“Like I said, she is more suitable than you are, and I'm sure you understand what that means. She doesn't possess strange powers that are harmful to people,
