บททั้งหมดของ Rejected Luna of The Cursed Alpha: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

Aria’s POV The oak wood of Draven's doors seemed extra chilly when I reached out to open it, the iron strips digging into my hand as I did so. The corridor was desolate and dark, save for the torches, which gave off flickers of light that smelled of stone and old wax. None of that mattered anymore. The only thing that mattered right now was the chamber that lay beyond that doorway. My heart was beating so wildly, it was as though some trapped bird were beating its wings inside of me and it was doing so for reasons other than just walking to his rooms. Even though the whole thing felt like a dream to me, I could remember the feeling of his hands on my waist and him dragging me closer to him at the eastern grounds. We'd been breathless in the middle of the moment, our li

With the rest of my chest pressed against the rough stone, the vibrations of my climax still rolling through my thighs, leaving me boneless and buzzing, Draven didn't give me a chance to recover. He stayed latched onto me, face buried in my breasts, mouth hot against my burning skin. He inhaled, a rough, predatory sound that reverberated in my sternum, before he pulled back a little bit to look me in the eye. His gaze was terrifyingly dark, brown eyes consumed by black, and his jaw was set in a hard line of absolute control."Turn around," he commanded.His voice was gruff, almost threatening, a demand that made no discussion or argument.My legs shook as I turned around obediently, moving clumsily, uncoordinated. My hands touched the cold rough surface of stone to help me turn around and present my back to Draven, and I shivered despite the fire raging in my blood. My hands flattened against the stone surface, and the freezing cold seared my forearms and face. The cool air of the roo

A whole week passed since the quarrel with Draven at the eastern training grounds.A whole week since the King looked at me with his angry and concerned eyes and told me to avoid situations that could attract attention to me.At first, I thought he was being ridiculous.Then I thought about it.Thought about it carefully.And I understood.He was afraid, not that I wouldn't be able to defend myself.He was afraid that neither of us knows what exactly we are dealing with.I had no idea who watches me.Who knew about my mother?About what my bloodline could mean.What would happen if the wrong person found out about my powers?So, in the end, I agreed.If I want to help anyone, I will do it in the herb room.Quietly.Safely.Where the healers could watch me. If something happens that I can’t cope with, I will avoid getting involved. It was an easy arrangement.And to my own surprise, I found it easy to follow.The herb room had become my little world. I worked there during the days. Lea

Kael's POVI started noticing things. Not because I wanted to. But because once you saw something clearly, you couldn't unsee it.I had been seeing Serena as kind for years now. I had defended her even when there was nothing to defend. And so when I started noticing small things, I told myself I was being unreasonable. Every single person had bad days. Every single person lost their patience sometimes. Every single person said things they didn't mean. That was my excuse after I had seen the first thing. We were walking through the eastern corridor and one of the younger maids had accidentally bumped into Serena. The woman had been holding a tray. She had dropped it. A cup had fallen on the floor. Tea had splattered all over Serena's dress. The maid had frozen. Her face had turned white. "I'm so sorry, my Luna." Serena had looked at her dress. For a split second, I saw the anger in her eyes. Then it had gone away. "It's alright," she had said sweetly. The maid had breathed a sigh

Draven's POVI woke up late in the morning, it was my newest normal. Before, I used to wake up before dawn so I could get myself prepared for the curse to hit me.I was used to it and I was also used to hiding the pain when it hit me. But for the past few weeks, I had been waking later than before. Whether Aria was on my bed or not.The curse had never been unpredictable until she came into my life. It had only become more severe as the years went by.There had been a time when I could have stayed several days without experiencing anything.Then it became hours, then minutes.And eventually, I stopped counting the moments when I could relax.I only knew that I could wake up at any moment and get the pain.But lately...I had noticed changes.Without even wanting to.The episodes became less frequent.The pain became less intense.I had begun to sleep without waking up once. I stood in the middle of the room, trying to understand it.And the explanation suddenly hit me.Aria.I frowne
