Semua Bab The Daughter They Abandoned, The Luna They Never Deserved : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Evelina’s POVThe first punch slammed straight into my ribs.I stumbled into the cold stone wall, trying to breathe while they laughed around me."What's wrong, Marlowe? Too weak to fight back?"I pressed one hand against my side. The pain was sharp, but I bit down on my lip. I wouldn't let them hear me cry.Two years.I had spent two years in this place, and somehow, they still found new ways to make every day feel longer than the last."You're getting released soon, aren't you?" one of the prisoners sneered. "Must be nice having an Alpha family waiting for you."I said nothing.They knew my name. They knew the family I belonged to. What they didn't know was that not once in two years had anyone from the Marlowe estate come to see me.Not one visit. Not even a letter. Two years, and not one of them came.I used to count the days until someone would remember me. Eventually, I stopped counting.Another prisoner grabbed my arm. Instinctively, I twisted away, but she shoved me hard enoug

Evelina’s POVI didn't sleep. Not even one minute.I sat on the edge of the bed and looked around the guest room. Bed was soft. Sheets were clean. There were flowers on the table. But I still couldn't sleep.I was used to noise. This place was too quiet, and somehow, that made me more nervous.In prison, someone was always shouting. Doors slammed. Footsteps passed outside the cell. Here, there was nothing. I wasn't used to sleeping without listening for the next sound.I checked the clock. It was still early, so I decided to leave the room.I walked through the hallway, keeping my steps quiet. Some servants passed by carrying boxes and decorations for the Lycan King's visit. They barely looked at me.I didn't mind.I continued toward the garden until I reached the greenhouse.I stopped at the entrance.I've always been here before.Mother and I used to spend time here. She taught me how to arrange the plants and take care of them. We could stay here for hours, talking about little thi

Evelina’s POVI thought he was done. He wasn't.I was returning the empty basket when Damon called me again."Evelina. Come here."I stopped but didn't turn around immediately."What is it?""We're not finished talking.""I have nothing else to say."He walked toward me, his expression already showing how little he liked my answer."You still haven't apologized to Aurelia."I looked at him. "For something I didn't do?""Don't start that again.""I didn't commit the crime, Damon."He scoffed. "You expect everyone to believe that just because you keep repeating it?""I don't expect anything from you."His face hardened."Two years in prison, and you still haven't learned your lesson."I looked down at the floor. I had spent enough time defending myself to people who never wanted to hear the truth.Damon stepped closer."Go to Aurelia. Apologize. She's the one who had to live with what you did.""I already served my sentence.""That doesn't mean you deserve forgiveness."I said nothing.

Alistair’s POVMother called for me before lunch.When I entered her room, Aurelia was sitting beside her, arranging the medicine bottles on the bedside table."You're here," Mother said."How are you feeling?""Better. Aurelia has been looking after me."Aurelia smiled. "Mother just needs to rest. She keeps trying to get out of bed.""I can still walk," Mother complained."Not without someone helping you," Aurelia replied.I pulled a chair closer.The nurse handed Aurelia a small sheet of paper. She checked it before giving Mother her medicine."Is that the new schedule?" I asked."Yes. Doctor Hart changed one of the doses yesterday."I nodded.Then I noticed another sheet underneath it. The handwriting was familiar.Evelina's.I picked it up.It was an older medication schedule, with notes beside each medicine. There were small reminders about Mother's meals and the times she usually felt dizzy."Evelina made this?" I asked.Aurelia looked over."She gave it to the nurse this mornin

Evelina’s POVMother's medicine was late.I noticed it when I passed her room. The nurse was checking the bottles on the bedside table, looking through the labels."Is something wrong?" I asked.She glanced at me. "Miss Aurelia usually prepares these.""I know. What time is the next dose?"The nurse checked the small chart. "It should have been given twenty minutes ago."I looked at the bottle. The label was familiar. So was the dosage. Mother used to take it after breakfast, never before. It upset her stomach otherwise."She hasn't eaten much," I said. "Give her something light first."The nurse hesitated. "I'll ask Miss Aurelia.""You don't have to. I can bring her some soup."I went to the kitchen before she could answer.The cook looked surprised when I asked for Mother's usual vegetable soup. He searched through the kitchen notes, then shook his head."We've been following Miss Aurelia's meal plan.""Does Mother still eat the same things?""Some of them. But Miss Aurelia changed
