บททั้งหมดของ THE LUNA HE FORGOT TO LOVE : บทที่ 111 - บทที่ 120

AUREN'S POV "Because she is not his fated mate.” Maelis’s words still hung in the air when the doors burst open. A royal guard rushed into the room, gasping for air. “Grand Healer Maelis, you are needed at the King’s chambers.” Maelis rushed off without hesitation, leaving me standing there, helpless, with a storm of questions flooding my mind. How do we save Ronan? Why couldn’t Wren do anything about it? My chest tightened. “Is this what love is?” I whispered to myself. “What is love when you can’t save the one person you claim to be yours?” There was no answer. The only response was the hurried footsteps fading down the corridor toward the main wing, where the King’s chambers were. My legs moved before I could decide what to do. I followed the crowd. We reached the hall where Queen Isolde and the Elders were gathered, waiting for a miracle. A loud murmur swept through the crowd. Suddenly, the doors burst open. Everyone turned, the chaos in the hallway froze. A woman

MELVIN'S POVThe judgment ground was cold beneath me.I sat at the center of the Elder Council, my hands resting on the armrests of my chair.Selene and Cassien knelt before me, their wrists bound behind their backs. The crowd surrounded the judgment ground, their whispers drifting through the air like dry leaves scraping across stone.I looked at Selene.She was trembling, her eyes fixed on the ground. She didn't look like the woman who had once stood proudly beside me.She looked like someone who had finally run out of lies.My gaze moved past her to the elders seated on either side of me.The very people who had once stood beside me when Auren was condemned were sitting there now, waiting to pronounce judgment on the woman who had helped bring Auren's suffering to light.My fingers tightened around the armrest, my jaw locked.Nile stirred beneath my skin.These were the people who had called Auren worthless, the people who had treated her lack of a wolf as proof that she had no pla

Auren's POVI hadn't fully woken up when the slap landed hard across my face. My eyes snapped open, and I jerked upright, gasping for air. Pain radiated through my jaw, sharp and sudden. I blinked, my hand pressing against my burning cheek.Queen Isolde stood over me, her hand still raised, her eyes cold."How dare you sleep so comfortably beside the Alpha? Get up and get out."I stared at her, trying to understand what was going on. The room was still dim. Ronan was beside me, his breathing deep and low. The night had taken everything from him.Isolde's voice was sharp. "Your job as a whore is finished. Get out of my son's bed."I opened my mouth, but the words hung in my throat.Silver flinched sharply beneath my skin. The warmth that had been so steady and peaceful moments ago became something else, like she had been wounded.I moved immediately, grabbing the first thing I could find—a sheet first, then a robe. I pulled it around myself and gathered the clothes I had come in with.

RONAN'S POVMy eyes held her gaze, "Auren, are you planning to leave?"The words came out rougher than I intended. I watched her, waiting for an answer. Maybe a denial, a reassurance, some reason to believe she wasn't actually planning to walk away.Auren gently pulled her hand from mine and stood. She brushed the dirt from her dress, her face calm and firm, like she had already made up her mind and nothing I said would change it."Alpha, please excuse me, I have work to finish."She walked away before I could stop her. My chest tightened, Melon stirred painfully inside me, and I felt the familiar heat crawling beneath my skin as I watched her disappear between the trees."Alpha, you have pending matters at the council, and the Queen has said she won't sit until you arrive."Kael paused before lowering his voice."It doesn't look good. From what I heard, Thorne is close to Emberfall's border."My breath caught, my eyes widened. "What? Thorne? How?"I started down the hall without wait

RONAN'S POV The council hall doors closed behind me with a heavy thud that sounded like my fate had just been sealed. I walked without knowing where I was going. I just needed to move. Maybe if I kept moving, I could somehow outrun what had just happened. My legs carried me through the corridors, past servants who stepped aside and guards who straightened at my approach. I barely noticed any of them. The stone walls blurred around me, torchlight flickering in the corners of my vision. The only thing I could feel was the weight of what I had just done pressing down on my chest like a stone. I reached my private chambers and slammed the door behind me. I stood in the middle of the room, my hands shaking at my sides, my breathing ragged. Melon exploded inside me, he surged beneath my skin like a caged beast finally unleashed. His fury was hot, unbearable, consuming every rational thought I had left. He paced beneath my ribs, his claws scraping against the walls of my control,
