Semua Bab The Rejected Obese Luna Returns For War: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Jackson's POVThe moment I stepped into the room, Danielle's hand shot out and yanked me toward the bed. Her grip closed around my collar with a strength I never expected from her — not from a she-wolf who spent most nights curled quietly on her side of the bed, careful not to touch me."Relax, Danielle." Elias moved in fast, his hands settling on her shoulders like he had every right to touch her that way.He didn't. Bodyguards didn't comfort their owners like that. Bodyguards didn't look at another man's mate the way Elias was looking at her right now — like he'd already decided whose side he was on.At the far end of the room, Vivienne stood frozen, arms wrapped around herself, wearing the face of someone who'd just watched a car crash happen in slow motion and hadn't been able to stop it."What is going on, Danielle?" My voice came out rougher than I meant it to. Her grip tightened around my throat, fingers digging in, and I felt the muscle there go rigid under the pressure.I cou

Felicia's POV "This can't be happening," I whispered to myself, my voice barely audible even to my own ears. Danielle had found out. Everything. If this got out, my name — my fame — would be nothing but ash by morning. I had to act. Fast. "Sarah!" I yelled toward the door, summoning her into my room. "Call me Lizzy," she corrected the moment she stepped inside, her eyes flicking to the hallway behind her before she shut the door. I snatched up my phone and typed with shaking fingers, sending the message to Linda: She's close to finding out the truth. My stomach twisted. If Danielle took this to the pack's court, it would be over. Not just embarrassment — over. My title stripped, my name dragged through the packlands like a carcass. What was I supposed to do? Lizzy stood there, arms folded, her expression unreadable — the same careful blankness she always wore, like she'd already guessed exactly what I was about to ask of her. "Thank goodness, co-wife," I said, the

Danielle POV"Elias, are you ready?""More than ever, Danielle." He held the car door open, and I slid past him into the passenger seat, the leather cool against my back despite the warmth of the night.I studied his face as he settled in beside me — jaw tight, eyes sharp with a curiosity he wasn't bothering to hide."Danielle." His voice dropped, firm but edged with something gentler. "Why the human world? Who do you really want to visit?"I smiled and shook my head instead of answering. "I'll explain on the way.""Get down," Elias barked at the driver. The man flinched and scrambled out without a single question — smart of him, given the look on Elias's face.Elias slid behind the wheel himself and pulled us onto the road, faster than I liked. The pack's lights blurred past the window, gold smears against the dark, and for a moment I let myself pretend this was an ordinary drive. That we were just two people leaving one life behind for a few stolen hours."So," he said, eyes flickin

Jackson's POV "What did you do, Mother?" My voice broke out of me low and firm, sharper than I meant it to be. "Oh, baby." Lizzy stared at me like I'd walked in on something I wasn't supposed to see. She rose and draped her hands over my shoulders, far too intimate for the room we were standing in. "I was just discussing something very important with your mum." "I didn't ask you, Lizzy." I peeled her hands off me and stepped back, putting space between us before she could try again. "How could you possibly do that to Danielle?" She didn't flinch. Didn't even blink. She simply crossed her legs and settled back into the chair like we were discussing the weather. "I guess you've already heard, then." Her voice was calm — too calm, nonchalant in a way that made the anger in my chest coil tighter, climbing by the second. "I was right," I said. "You were behind it. All of it." "And what if I was?" she asked, tilting her head, studying me the way she used to when I was a boy who'd broke

Danielle's POV"Thanks a lot, Danielle." Elias's voice was warm, and he couldn't help the smile that spread across his face as he looked at me, like the last two months hadn't happened at all, like none of it had left a mark on either of us."Wow, seriously, Elias. It wasn't a big deal." I tried to wave it off, tried to pull us both back on track. We weren't safe yet — not by a long shot — and smiling at each other on a bed wasn't going to change that, no matter how much some quiet part of me wanted to sit in this moment a little longer."Yes, it is." He gave me that flirty look, the one that always made my heart feel like it belonged to him whether I wanted it to or not. "You stayed beside me for two months after the accident, Danielle. Every single day. That's very much a big deal."I smiled despite myself and sat down beside him on the bed. Memories flooded back — every day I'd walked into that room hoping, praying, that today would be the day he opened his eyes.The long nights I'
