All Chapters of A Plus-Size Luna For The Lycan King: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

LORENZOBy the time I arrived at the dining hall, night had already settled over the palace.The long table had been decorated far more lavishly than usual. Candles were placed almost at every corner, and the scent of roasted meat and fresh herbs filled the room, but instead of making me hungry, it only deepened the irritation growing inside me.I stopped at the entrance and slowly looked around."So..." I muttered under my breath. "She actually went through with it.""Ren!"Lena's cheerful voice echoed through the hall as she stood from her chair, a bright smile spreading across her face. Without waiting for me to say a word, she hurried over and wrapped her arms around mine as though it were the most natural thing in the world."I was beginning to think you weren't coming." She laughed softly. "Do you know how long I've been waiting?"I gently but firmly removed her hands from my arm."What's the meaning of this, Lena?"Her smile faltered for only a second before returning. "What d

LENAI had barely touched the book resting on my lap. No matter how many times I tried to read the same page, my mind kept drifting back to last night.I couldn't stop thinking about his words, those cold eyes. The way he had looked at me as though I were nothing more than a mistake he wished he could erase.I squeezed my grip on the book and forced myself to take a deep breath. No. I wasn't going to think about it anymore.A loud bang echoed through my room as the door flew open without warning.I shot to my feet. "Lily!"The young maid froze immediately, her face turning pale. "I'm... I'm sorry, Lady Lena.""What do you think you're doing?" I snapped, glaring at her. "Who gave you permission to barge into my room like that?"She lowered her head, breathing heavily as though she had run all the way here."I apologize, my lady.""You'd better.""I... I didn't mean to disrespect you.""Then explain yourself."She took a very deep breath before speaking. "I came because... because somet

LORENZOThe moment my eyes landed on the travel bag in Olivia's hand, it felt as though the air had been knocked out of my lungs.I simply stood there, staring at the bag before my gaze slowly lifted to her face. Her eyes were swollen, and although she had tried to hide it, I could still see the redness around them. She had been crying again.Rex growled so loudly inside my head that it almost made me wince."I told you this would happen."I ignored him.My voice came out softer than I intended. "Where are you going?"Olivia tightened her grip on the bag before lowering her eyes.There was a long silence, then she answered softly. "Home."The single word made my heart sink.I frowned. "This is your home."A faint smile appeared on her lips. I could tell it wasn't a happy smile, it was the kind of smile people wore when they had already accepted something painful.She slowly shook her head. "No... it isn't."For a moment, I couldn't find my voice. Those three words hurt far more than t

OLIVIAI couldn't move..His words echoed inside my head over and over again."Then let me give you a reason to stay."No one had ever said something like that to me before. Not the man I had thought would be my mate, not even my family. For years, I had always been the one begging people to let me stay in their lives. Yet here stood Lorenzo, asking me to stay as though my presence actually mattered.I lowered my eyes, afraid that if I looked at him any longer, he would see every emotion written across my face."Okay," I whispered. It was barely louder than my own heartbeat.For a second, silence fell between us. Then I heard him let out a soft breath, almost as though he had been holding it this whole time. When I finally looked up, there was the smallest smile on his face."Come with me," he said softly.I blinked. "Where?"His smile widened just a little. "You'll see."Normally, I would have asked another dozen questions. Today, I simply nodded my head."Okay."The palace felt stran

OLIVIAI woke up before the morning bell, and for the first time in what felt like forever, there was no heaviness pressing against my chest. My eyes slowly opened, and I simply laid there, staring at the ceiling above me. I felt a strange warmth inside me, making my lips curl into a smile before I even realized what I was doing.As I sat in front of the mirror and began brushing my hair, that smile returned. It was small, but enough for me to notice that it is there. The reflection staring back at me didn't look as sad as it usually does. My cheeks were a little pink, and my eyes seemed brighter than they had been in years."What is happening to me?" I whispered to my reflection.The movement of the brush slowed in my hand as the thought of everything; the garden, the children, the little girl who wanted to grow up to look like me all came rushing in.Then... Lorenzo. The way he had caught me before I fell, the way he looked at me, the way his voice softened when he said, "Let me giv
