Semua Bab The Cursed Alpha's Regret : Bab 61 - Bab 70

Evie.Everyone was acting strange around me the next morning. As I left my room, a maid carrying fresh towels saw me, lowered her head, and grinned widely while trying to hide it.“Good morning, Luna.”“Good morning.”She hurried away and heard her whispering to another servant waiting around the corner. “I told you they would get back together.”I rolled my eyes when the colleague giggled. My face heated up when I remembered the kiss that had happened in front of thousands. For a moment, I thought of turning around and locking myself back inside my room for the rest of the summit just to avoid the curious looks.Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to continue. Some seconds later, two warriors from our pack walked past me.“Our Alpha finally came to his senses,” one said with a smile.His companion elbowed him. “The Luna can hear you.”It was early but the grand dining hall was already crowded. Every Alpha attending the summit occupied a long table with members of their own pack. T

Evie.After hearing Magnus’s request, everyone tried too hard to act like they’d not heard anything yet they’d all been paying attention. I was pretty sure there was only one question in their minds.Why did Magnus want to speak to the Fireheart alone?“Fine,” Rodney said with a clenched jaw. Ice was starting to build up under his skin. He looked like he was about to murder Magnus.“You don’t have to go if you don’t want to,” Rodney told me. I nodded, happy that he gave me a choice instead of making the decision for me. This version of Rodney was really a breath of fresh air.“It’s only a conversation,” I said. “I’ll manage.”“You have my word that Luna Evie will leave exactly as she arrived,” Magnus said. He clasped his hands behind his back.Rodney looked at Damien. “You’ll stay outside the room.”Damien frowned. “You think he’s going to kidnap her in the middle of the summit he called?”“Just do it,” Rodney said before turning to me. “If you’re uncomfortable, you can leave the mee

Evie.After the mention of my mother, I knew I had to go and speak to the prisoner. Now I was more curious than ever. I had not thought about her in a very long time but hearing the man mention her made me want to know how she was doing.The dungeon was very cold. I shivered slightly as we moved through the large hallways. Rodney walked beside me, holding my hand. The cold from his body kept clashing with the warmth from mine before being absorbed.As we went deeper, we turned it into a game. He’d manipulate his emotions to cause a spike in the curse and then I’d calm it down.Damien was following with six warriors. Rodney insisted he would go with me though I was not particularly worried about one assassin. I had taken down several assassins during the attack. One couldn’t be that hard to defeat.Rodney suddenly stopped walking, forcing me to stop as well. He looked into my eyes.“The moment you feel uncomfortable, you’re free to leave”I smiled. “You don’t need to worry about me. I’

Lyra.Rodney, that annoying Damien and Evie with all her precious Fireheart abilities, were too busy saying their stupid goodbyes to notice that someone was watching them.When they were gone, I adjusted the rough cloak hiding my face and quietly slipped away from the summit palace, entering the forest which provided the perfect cover.Instead of using the road where I could easily be spotted, I took the woods, crossing frozen streams and risking it all through slippery trails used by hunters and animals.Three hours later when the sun was setting, I arrived at my destination. The abandoned temple-like structure was deep in the woods. It looked like it had once been a majestic symbol of great architecture but was now an old ruin no one cared about.There were strange symbols on the cracked walls. I stepped between the broken pillars and looked up. “I’m here.”For a few minutes, nothing happened. And then a figure wearing a black cloak emerged from the shadows. He wore black gloves and

Evie. The old woman was so shaken she had to find somewhere to sit. Meanwhile curiosity was killing the rest of us as we waited for her to speak. “Why do you have that?” She asked. “Have you seen him?” Rodney stepped forward and looked at the woman. “Do you recognize this symbol?” “My Alpha told us never to speak that name.” “Whose name?” “The Alpha who carried the black wolf,” she said, shaking her head thoughtfully. The warriors around us exchanged uneasy looks and Rodney shook his head. “What was his name?” “Varek,” the woman finally said, words barely above a whisper. I looked at Rodney, searching his face for an answer. It seemed he recognized the name. “Who is Varek?” I asked. Clearly, I had known nothing when I was luna. Lately, I was getting to know many powerful alphas and Rodney’s friends. He had never bothered to introduce me to most of them before. Rodney and Damien exchanged a glance, their eyes practically exchanging words, as if they were trying to decide i
