Semua Bab My Stepsister Returned To Rewrite Fate, But I Became Luna: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Chloe’s POV The sun was slowly setting when I returned to the packhouse with Viktor. As I walked in, all eyes turned to me. I ignored the whispering and marched up the stairs to my bedroom, hoping to have a long shower but just as I crossed the dining room, I heard my name. Axel stood behind me, arms crossed, his jaw tight with irritation. “Where have you been?” “Out,” I said, raising my shopping bags. “Did you meet up with someone?” Celestia spawned from where she did. “Axel, I told you that my men were great at their jobs. They know what they saw.” I had predicted that Hannah was going to use this path but Celestia seemed like a more mature woman. The elegance I perceived radiating off of her slowly started to rot away. I turned to Axel with a raised brow, curious to see if he would go along with her whims. If he decided to think that I would cheat on him, I had nothing to say to him. “Chloe,” Celestia said, taking a step closer. “I know that you might feel a bit bo

Chloe’s POVThe crickets were still buzzing when Celestia called me out of my bedroom. At least, she had the decency to be subtle about it.Somehow finding the key and sneaking into my room at the crack of dawn.She got to my bed and squatted down, patting the empty sheets. “Where the hell is this bitch?” she muttered.I watched her from the window pane where I sat. My wolf had snapped me awake the moment the keys jingled in the door.“You have very odd habits for an instructor,” I said and she physically jumped, crashing backwards into my bedside drawer.I got down from the window and walked over to the wall to turn on the lights. Celestia flinched at my glare as I snatched my key from her hand.“How the hell do you have the key to my bedroom?”Just to maintain my privacy, I cleaned my bedroom myself every single day. So no one, not even the staff, had access to my room, much less some random woman who did not even live in the pack house.I squatted in front of her, my eyes narrowed.

Axel’s POVMy hand hovered over the door knob, listening for any sound of page flipping or breathing inside the library.The walls were thin enough so it was surprising that I did not hear anything from inside after Viktor confirmed that Chloe was in here.Cracking open the door as silently as possible, I slithered into the room, scanning the shelves. The moment I heard a sound, my back pressed against one of the shelves and I held my breath.Why the hell was I so jumpy? I mean, I did come here to check on her but actually seeing her was not a part of my plans.All day, she had been hovering my mind, particularly the look on her face when I told her that I wanted to help her. I had found a way to convince myself that I was in the wrong and came to make things right yet I was met with disgust.That should have been my cue to move on and find something more productive to focus on but it just kept nagging me in the back of my mind.I could not sleep properly, snapping awake the moment Ce

Chloe’s POVBefore Alpha Paul could move towards me, Axel tucked me closer to his body.The father and son froze, locked in deadly eye contact with each other. The whole room held their breaths as they waited for someone to say something.“Axel,” Alpha Paul said, his voice tense with warning.“Not now, Father,” Axel replied, brushing my hair that was sticking to my face because of sweat. “Let us talk later.”His father was about to speak but then, realization dawned on him. “You knew.”“As much as there is a conversation to be had, Alphas, this is not the time,” Doctor Edna said, returning to the room. “Not with a patient on the floor.”Two nurses walked into the room, picked me up and laid me back on the bed. Then, Doctor Sylvia produced a thick syringe, filled with a suspiciously green liquid.“Luna, bite down on this,” she said, handing me a cloth to hold down in my mouth.My back arched off the bed as she eased the needlepoint inside me, pushing the liquid in. The pain intensified

Axel’s POVI could see the exact moment when headlights went off in her head that she was blowing her cover.She let out a nervous chuckle, tucking her hair behind her ear. “I think that makes sense. It’s not like you have to do it anyway.”Her feet tapped nervously on the ground as if she were waiting for my verdict.What could I say? Everything she had suggested made perfect sense.It was like she had seen all possible battles that could ensue there and thought of a counter-strategy. Something I had only seen select generals so, one of which included my father.Suddenly, she let out a breath through her nostrils, leaning closer to me. “Axel, did I say something wrong? You can correct me if I mess up.”Her scent was thicker than it had ever been. It was like her wolf was shoving itself at me.Her wolf was probably still hovering on the surface with the poison still inside her body.“Axel?” she called my name, her voice softer.I shook my head to clear the foolish thoughts pooling in
