Alle Kapitel von His Rejected Luna is The Lycan’s Queen: Kapitel 131 – Kapitel 140

Felicity’s grip on her glass tightened.Ryan went still in a way that was different from his usual stillness.I looked at Hale’s left hand resting on the table. A large burn scar covered the back of it, spreading across the fingers, the kind of mark that comes from something sustained rather than brief.Old enough to be healed but not old enough to have faded into something neutral.The humor dropped off Hale’s face. Not the way it had when Quinn’s name landed — this was quieter. More personal. Something he had been moving around for two years and had decided not to put down.“I got burned in a territory fire,” he said. “Guy, it was two years ago. Nothing significant.”“Doesn’t look like nothing,” Ryan said.“It healed and only left a little scar. In fact it’s a reminder of my victory that day.” He kept going, covering the silence with words the way he always covered things — thoroughly and without pausing for air.Nobody pushed him except Ryan.“Who caused it,” Ryan said anyway.“Ry

The air in the room changed.Felicity looked at me one more time — the specific look of someone making a note to come back to something — then turned her eyes to Aiden.Melissa had stopped writing entirely now. Her pen was down. Her hands were in her lap. She was watching Aiden with the expression of someone who had been told what they needed to know but suspected there was a room behind the room they hadn't been shown yet.Aiden's face had become serious. He looked at Nathan first. Then at Finn, who had the most dangerous aura in the room despite the complete stillness he occupied — or because of it."I called you all here," Aiden said, "because I have finally decided to kill Howard Quinn and destroy the Black Shadow Pack."The room absorbed this."Tonight," he added.I sat very still. No that was wrong…I couldn't stay still.Did he just say he was going to kill Howard Quinn….my father and destroy the Black Shadow Pack tonight?I had said those words to myself in different forms a hu

Aiden finally raised his eyes and locked them on me for the first time since I stepped foot into this hall.My spine straightened involuntarily. I had been watching him manage this room all evening without once looking directly at me and now those hazel eyes were on me specifically and the mate bond registered it before I did. I kept my face neutral.“April” Aiden called out my name like he wanted to get my attention and he did get it because I wondered why all of a sudden he called my name.I looked at him and felt something tighten in my chest because beings with Aiden for some while I knew that Aiden saying your name like that — like it was the beginning of something rather than just a word — was never followed by anything comfortable.“You must be wondering why I invited you to join my family dinner right?” He asked a rhetorical question and I locked eyes on him and slightly frowned knowing it felt like something serious was about to come out of his mouth.Was I wondering? I had b

“From my guess I’ll say it’s your pack,” Zara said quietly.I closed my eyes for exactly one second after getting a response.“Fuck!! Just how many of the things in this room connect back to my father,” I said.“More than you want to know right now,” she said. “Less than you’ll find out later.”Ryan's jaw was tight. The calmness that always sat around him had gone somewhere else and what was underneath it was something old and specific and still bleeding.Felicity wasn't looking at Aiden. She was looking at the middle distance where people look when they are trying to stay inside themselves.Finn was completely still. The kind of still that contains something rather than feels nothing.These people hadn't lost something abstract that would cause hatred.They had lost something really deep and painful and there was a name behind it all. It was my father.Howard fucking Quinn!!!God I was so pissed.Could I actually blame them?I looked at my wine glass and did not pick it up.“After we

“Zara…what's more to it that I don't know” I asked inwardly while I was shaking continuously and breaking down.My hands wouldn't stop shaking.I pressed them flat against my thighs under the table but the shaking moved into my arms instead. My chest felt like something was sitting heavily on it. God, ten years!!Ten fucking years of being called wolfless, cursed, broken, an embarrassment to the pack — and the wolf had been there the whole time.The whole time.All my mind I thought ten years ago I had failed the awakening ceremony but..but I was wrong.It seemed I had passed, how exactly had Zara hid so deeply that no one knew?I needed Zara to keep talking because if she stopped I was going to have to sit with that and I wasn’t ready to sit with that.“What more Zara,” I said. “Tell me all of it!!!.”“Ohh… little April a whole lot. Let me tell you exactly how the real story went down. It all started from a foolish prophecy made hundreds of years ago about yours truly.”Huh..A proph
