Lahat ng Kabanata ng Curvy Queen by Contract - Luna by Fate: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

JORDAN’S POV“You are not going anywhere near Cassian,” I told Scarlett firmly, watching her expression change the moment I finished reading the latest message from the dungeon. She had only recently given birth, and the idea of sending her into a room with a man who had spent years trying to destroy this kingdom was impossible for me to accept. “I know you want answers, but Cassian is deliberately trying to pull you into this, and I'm not going to let him use your recovery against you.”Scarlett folded her arms, clearly unhappy with my decision. “Jordan, he's refusing to speak to anyone except me,” she reminded me, keeping her voice controlled even though I could see the frustration in her eyes. “If he knows something about Charles, then I have a right to hear it. You can't keep deciding what I'm allowed to know every time someone threatens us.”“I know you have a right to know,” I replied, stepping closer to her as I lowered my voice. “But having a right to hear something doesn't me

JORDAN’S POV“I don't think I could give him up.” My own words followed me long after I left Scarlett's chambers that evening, repeating in my mind with every step I took through the quiet palace corridors. I had said them without thinking, but now that I was alone, I couldn't pretend they meant nothing. Charles was not biologically mine, yet somewhere between the moment I first held him and the countless nights I had watched over him, something inside me had already decided that he was my son.I entered my study and closed the door behind me, but the silence did nothing to quiet my thoughts. I stood beside the window overlooking the palace grounds and remembered Charles's tiny hand wrapping around my finger earlier that day. It had been such a simple thing, yet the feeling it created had been impossible to ignore. I had spent years preparing myself to rule, to fight, and to make decisions that affected thousands of people, but nothing had prepared me for caring so deeply about one sm

JORDAN’S POV“Rowan?” I repeated, staring at the adviser as the name settled heavily between us. I had expected Cassian's rumors to spread, but hearing Rowan's name attached to them changed the situation completely. Rowan wasn't some unknown Alpha whose words could be dismissed as palace gossip. He was Scarlett's former mate, the leader of the pack she had once belonged to, and the man whose name could make people question Charles's place in my family.“Yes, Your Majesty,” the adviser confirmed carefully, watching my reaction. “The story being repeated is that the Queen was already carrying Rowan's child before she left Silverclaw and that Prince Charles was born after she married you. Several visiting Alphas have heard the claim, and some are beginning to ask whether there is truth behind it.”My jaw tightened as I looked toward the window. “Find out whether Rowan is behind this,” I ordered, keeping my voice controlled despite the anger building inside me. “I don't want assumptions,

ROWAN’S POV“Why is everyone suddenly acting as though Scarlett was the answer to every problem we have?” I demanded, staring across the council chamber at the elders who had spent the last hour discussing my former Luna, my voice growing harsher as their arguments continued to circle back to the same woman I had once banished from this territory.“Because the pack remembers how things were under her leadership, Alpha Rowan,” the eldest councilman replied calmly, keeping his hands folded on the table despite the tension in the room. “The families aren't saying she was perfect, but they remember the stability we had before her exile, and those comparisons have become impossible to ignore.”I clenched my jaw before answering, refusing to let their words show how deeply they were affecting me. “Scarlett betrayed this pack,” I said firmly, forcing myself to believe the words again as I looked from one council member to another. “We had evidence against her, and she was removed because of

JORDAN’S POV“Read the report again and give me the exact dates,” I instructed, keeping my voice steady as the intelligence officer stood before my desk with the confidential document open. “I don't want assumptions yet. I want the medical timeline, Rowan's movements, and every verified detail placed together before we decide what this means.”The officer lowered his eyes to the report before answering. “Yes, Your Majesty,” he replied respectfully, tracing the dates with one finger. “The Silverclaw healer says Elaine is several weeks pregnant, but the estimated conception period doesn't appear to match Alpha Rowan's recorded movements. There is a gap we cannot explain.”I leaned back slowly, allowing the information to settle. Elaine's pregnancy had already changed Silverclaw's political situation, but this discrepancy made everything more complicated. If the pack accepted the child as Rowan's heir, Elaine could become nearly impossible to challenge. If Rowan discovered otherwise, the
