All Chapters of Too Curvy To Be Luna, Too Strong To Break : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

ISOLDE I stood outside the palace balcony long after everyone had returned to their rooms, staring at the dark courtyard while the last few servants cleared away the remains of dinner. I should have been pleased with myself because the evening had gone almost exactly as I expected, yet the image of Xavier standing beside Aria refused to leave my mind. The way he had watched her throughout dinner was beginning to irritate me more than I wanted to admit. Nyx stirred beneath my skin, her claws scraping against my restraint as she watched the same memory with me. "You don't like her," she said, her voice carrying that sly amusement that always made me want to silence her. "You don't like the way he looks at her either." “I don't like what she represents,” I whispered, folding my arms as the cold night air touched my face. “There is a difference.” Nyx gave a quiet growl that sounded suspiciously like laughter. "Keep telling yourself that." I rolled my eyes and turned away from

ARIAThe following morning, I woke up with the strange feeling that something had changed, although for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what it was. I remained under the warmth of my blankets for several minutes, staring at the ceiling while my mind slowly caught up with the fact that I was no longer in Hawthorne, no longer waiting for someone to tell me where I was allowed to sit or what I was allowed to do. I was the Luna of Blackwood now, whether the pack liked it or not, and surprisingly, that thought didn't scare me as much as it had the day before.Maybe Maya had finally damaged my brain with all her nonsense last night.I rolled onto my side and buried my face into the pillow, trying to remember exactly when my life had become this strange. Five years ago, I had been the woman everyone in Crestview treated like an inconvenience, and now I was waking up in a palace because the most stubborn Alpha alive had decided that I belonged beside him. The funniest part was that I st

ARIABy the time evening came, I had discovered that being Luna of Blackwood came with far more walking than anyone had bothered to warn me about. Maya had insisted on accompanying me through almost every part of the palace, claiming that if I was going to explore my new home, she had a personal responsibility to make sure I didn't accidentally enter a room where someone kept poisonous snakes or, according to her, a secret council of old women who spent their days discussing everyone's business.I had laughed so much that my cheeks hurt by the time we returned to my room.“I am beginning to think you made half of those stories up,” I told her as she helped me remove the pins from my hair.Maya gave me an offended look through the mirror. “I would never lie to you, Lady Aria. I may exaggerate a little when the truth is boring, but that is completely different.”I shook my head while trying not to smile. “You are impossible, and I still don't understand why you were allowed to survive C

XAVIERI felt frustrated watching Ronan trying hard to hide the sheepish grin on his face. The dude was practically forgetting how to behave at the sight of the person who had almost bumped into me.Maya.She had nearly walked straight into me but stopped at the last moment, looking up with an expression that suggested she had been expecting anyone except me. Great. I understood that feeling because I would probably have the same reaction if I had opened a door and found myself staring at the person I had spent the previous night insulting.“Good morning, Alpha,” she said politely, although her eyes immediately moved toward Ronan before she added, “Good morning, Beta.”Ronan straightened almost instantly, and I caught the way his eyes followed her before he answered. “Good morning, Maya.”Surprisingly, Maya smiled at him.I sighed inwardly because I was beginning to understand why my Beta had been behaving like an idiot lately. It also came as a surprise because Ronan had sworn at eve

ARIAI had barely finished my second helping of fries when the dining hall doors opened again, and I immediately regretted thinking breakfast could remain peaceful for more than five minutes.Speaking of the she-wolfy devil, and she walks in with her perfect claws.Isolde's dress was elegant, her hair was perfectly arranged, and that warm smile she always seemed to have appeared the moment her eyes found Xavier, as usual.I looked down at my plate, after all, my meals hadn't done anything wrong." Don't look at her, Aria. She is not worth a spoiler."Vin stirred lazily inside me. "You are already looking at her."I picked up a fry, taking the time in the world to drown in its crispy taste. " Vin, I am simply observing a bee sting."I could hear Vin's chuckle." Yeah, you are observing very angrily."I rolled my eyes at Vin, the betrayer. " There is a difference."Vin laughed, and I reached for another pie
