All Chapters of Too Late for Regret: I’m not your Luna Anymore : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Diana charged toward me with a loud, terrifying war cry.Her boots slammed into the ground, kicking up clouds of white chalk and dust as she closed the distance between us in seconds. I stood my ground, but I would be lying if I said I knew what I was doing. I had never fought in a real fighting ring before. The loud shouts of the warriors and the speed of an angry opponent were all completely new and frightening to me. My heart pounded loudly in my ears, and my breathing became short and nervous.Just as fear threatened to freeze my legs, Petraya’s voice echoed inside my mind.“Do not panic, Hazel. Trust your body,” Petraya instructed in a firm voice. “The moment she gets close, dodge her high strike, aim for her stomach, and punch her as hard as you can. She will lose her focus and gasp for air. The moment she bends over, move behind her, wrap your arm around her neck, and…”Before I could hear the rest of Petraya’s plan, Diana was already right in front of me.Her face twisted into

~ LEVI ~The sudden, heavy rain disappeared as quickly as it had arrived.Diana ran across the wet mud toward Hazel, her hands tightly gripping the heavy steel handle of Damon’s sharp broadsword. The deadly tip of the sword was pointed directly at Hazel.“Diana! Don’t you dare do that!” I roared, my Alpha voice shaking the entire arena like thunder.I took three quick steps down from the wooden platform and landed heavily on the ground, but I forced myself to stop at the edge of the chalk circle. Every muscle in my body screamed at me to rush inside and tear the sword from Diana’s hands. But the pack law was clear: no one from outside, not even the Alpha, could enter a sacred duel while the fight was still going on. If my foot crossed the chalk line even for a second, Hazel would be disqualified. Diana would automatically win because, at that moment, she had the upper hand.Hazel had given everything she had to this fight. I refused to take away her honor or the victory she had fought

Rowan’s lips trembled as he opened his mouth to answer my question. But before he could say a single word, a knock sounded on the door.The door creaked open, and Dr. Lucian, the head pack doctor, stepped into the room with a medical bag in his hand.“Greetings, Alpha Levi,” Dr. Lucian said, lowering his head respectfully.I raised my hand slightly to acknowledge him and stepped away from Rowan to give the doctor room to work. “Please, check on Lady Hazel immediately. She collapsed in the arena right after the duel,” I said, pointing toward the bed where Hazel lay still.Dr. Lucian nodded quickly and hurried to the bedside. He opened his bag and took out a smooth glass stone to check her condition. He gently checked the pulse on her wrist, watched her breathing, and placed his hand on her pale forehead to check her temperature.After a few tense moments, the doctor let out a small sigh of relief and turned toward me.“She is out of danger, Alpha,” Dr. Lucian said calmly. “Her body su

Seer Vanya’s cloudy, pale eyes stayed on me for a long, quiet moment. “However… I am deeply sorry, my Alpha,” Seer Vanya said as she took a small step backward. “Today is simply not the sacred day chosen by the divine realm. The Moon Goddess wants us to be patient. I will return to this royal house when the next full moon rises and reveal the full prophecy to you and the entire pack.”Without waiting for an answer, Seer Vanya turned around. She held her dark wooden staff tightly while the white snake around her neck moved slowly. She walked out of the bedroom, and the sound of her footsteps slowly disappeared down the hallway.Alpha Levi stood near the edge of my bed, silently watching her leave. He stayed there until the doors closed behind her. A deep frown appeared on his face as he slowly turned back to me.“Lady Hazel… how are you feeling right now?” he asked in a gentle and worried voice.“I’m fine, Alpha,” I replied softly, slowly sitting up against the soft headboard.Before

~ Rowan ~“BE CAREFUL, ROWAN!”Hazel’s frightened warning broke through the silence, but before I could even understand why she sounded so scared, my foot landed on something dangerously slippery. My leg twisted, and a horrible crack came from my left ankle as it bent the wrong way.“AHHHH!”A painful scream escaped my mouth. I completely lost my balance, and the world around me spun. The walls blurred together as my body fell backward toward the steep stairs. I quickly closed my eyes, preparing myself for the painful fall down the staircase.Then, everything seemed to stop.A pair of hands suddenly grabbed me with surprising speed and strength, stopping my fall just before my back could hit the edge of the step.Slowly, I opened my eyes and looked up to see who had managed to catch a fully grown warrior like me in midair.Hazel Cassian.She was leaning over me, her feet firmly planted on the floor as she held me up. Her eyes were locked on mine, filled with worry. The strength in he
