All Chapters of THE LUNA HE FORGOT TO LOVE : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

AUREN'S POVThe bolt slid into place, I tested it once, then aagin. My fingers pressed against the cold iron, feeling the weight of it seated properly. The window latch was already secure, I had checked it three times.My hands slipped from the door and fell at my side, my mind drifted toward what Maelis had said—his throne, the Queen, and what his decision would cost him. The thought of it made my chest ache, I pushed it down, It didn't matter anymore, I had made the right choice.My hands moved to the fire. I lowered the flames, watching the light dim. The room was small, an abandoned healer's shelter at the edge of the eastern woods. I had found it weeks ago, not knowing how useful it would be to me today.The full moon was rising, tonight, every wolf meets with their fated mate, markings would be done, oaths and intimacy would be exchanged. My lips widened with a small smile tugged at it, then it faded slightly. I sat on the edge of the cot, wrapped my arms around me, my bag was

Ronan's POVThe council chamber doors opened, and I walked through them without slowing my pace.The elders were already seated, their papers spread across the table, their voices fading into a low conversation.They looked up as I entered and kept looking until I took my seat.They whispered to themselves, finally, one of them began to speak.“Alpha, we were just about to—”I cut him off.“Before we begin, there's something you need to hear.”The room quieted. I stood at the head of the table and looked at each of them in turn.“For a while, every pack member in Emberfall has wondered when a woman would stand beside me and be announced as Luna.”I paused and looked at them, then continued.“Well, today, I am glad to announce to all respected elders in this council that I have seen her, my mate, my woman, my Luna.”I stopped and studied their body language.Their eyes turned to each other, like they already knew what I was about to say next and couldn't wait for me to get past the for

Auren's POV"You've been smiling at the window for ten minutes."I turned from the carriage window. Maelis was watching me with that knowing look she always wore whenever she was about to tease me."I have not." I chuckled and placed my hand against my aching chest."Oh dear, you have.""Maybe the road is entertaining."She furrowed her brows, a smile tugging at her lips."The road, huh?""Yes.""The same road we've been traveling for the past hour?"I shrugged. "It's a nice road. Nothing more."I lowered my eyes, my cheeks burning.Maelis shook her head."Silly liar."The carriage rocked gently beneath us. Afternoon light filtered through the trees outside, casting shifting patterns across the interior.I looked back at the window, the fields stretched endlessly ahead, for the first time in years, I felt lighter.***"Maelis."I stared at the trees as we moved along."Spill, Auren. I know you so well. What's on your mind?""This whole thing still feels strange."I looked at her. "Lik

Selene's POV"Does it still ache here?"Yarrow's fingers pressed against my side, firm and probing. The paper beneath me crinkled as I shifted on the examination table, the room smelled of dried herbs and a sharp scent of antiseptic."Yes, sometimes." My voice came out flat."Where, ma'am? Here?"She moved her hand."No.""How about your sleep?""I have been restless.""And your appetite?"I shrugged, my shoulder brushing against the cool wall beside me."I eat when I remember."Yarrow made a note on her tablet, her pen scratched against the paper."That's not unusual at this stage. The body is adjusting."She set the tablet down and stepped back, her robes rustling."Wait here. I need to get the massage oil. The tension in your lower back needs attention.""All right."I nodded.She left, and the door clicked shut behind her, the room suddenly fell silent.I sat still for a moment, my hands resting on my lap. The herbs on the shelves caught my eye. Dried lavender, chamomile, and some

Melvin's POVMarkus stood outside my chambers with something in his hand.He didn't enter immediately. He paused at the threshold, his eyes fixed on the sealed parchment, his jaw tight. I noticed his hesitation before he noticed me watching."Markus, what is it?"He looked up, his fingers tightening around the edges of the parchment."Alpha, it's nothing you need to see right now."I narrowed my eyes. "Markus."He didn't move."I believe that is mine. Give it to me."He hesitated, his hand remained still."Alpha—""Give it to me. That's what I said."He finally handed it over, I unfolded it.My eyes moved across the words. A formal script with an official seal bearing an invitation.Lady Auren.My eyes stopped.Alpha Ronan.The words made my chest tighten. A grand engagement ceremony.I read it again, as though the words might suddenly make sense. Maybe I had misread them.Markus finally said it aloud."Alpha, Lady Auren is getting engaged to Alpha Ronan."The invitation slipped from
