All Chapters of forsaken luna : Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Adrian had not stopped thinking about what happened in the car.The way Seraphina had curled into herself, shielding her head with trembling hands, had been nothing like the sister he remembered. For a moment, he had wondered what kind of life she had endured inside Blackthorn Labor Prison.Then he remembered how she had looked at him afterward.Empty. Distant. Almost accusing.Perhaps she was simply angry with him.Two years was a long time to spend behind bars. Anyone would need time to adjust after being released. Once Seraphina settled back into familiar surroundings, she would eventually return to normal.At least, that was what Adrian chose to believe.By the time they reached the Vale estate, the household was already in chaos.Servants hurried through the corridors carrying fresh flowers, polished silverware, and expensive decorations. The dining hall was being prepared for the Lycan King's visit, and every member of the household seemed determined to ensure that nothing went

Seraphina woke before sunrise.For a few seconds, she forgot where she was. Then she noticed the unfamiliar curtains and remembered the guest room.She sat up slowly.Today, she would see her mother.Before Blackthorn Labor Prison, Seraphina had known everything about her mother's health. She knew her medication schedule, which foods upset her stomach, and how to recognize the slightest change in her breathing.Caring for her mother had never felt like a burden. It had been one of the ways Seraphina showed her love.Perhaps that, at least, had not changed.She dressed and made her way to her mother's private sitting room.Inside, a nurse arranged medication on a small table while the family doctor examined a chart. Lillian sat beside their mother, holding a cup of warm water."She should take the smaller dose after breakfast," Lillian said. "The stronger one makes her dizzy if she hasn't eaten enough."The nurse nodded. "Of course, Miss Lillian."Seraphina stopped at the doorway.She

"Please, let me go."Seraphina's trembling voice followed her all the way to the guest room.The physician walked beside her while the Lycan King's guards waited outside. Adrian followed closely behind, his mind still trapped in the image of his sister curled in the corner of that dark room.He had never seen her like that.Not even when she was a child frightened by thunderstorms."Seraphina," he said carefully. "The doctor needs to examine you."She stopped walking.For a moment, her eyes moved toward the physician's hands before returning to Adrian's face."I'm fine.""You were screaming.""I'm fine, Alpha Adrian."The formal address struck him harder than her refusal."Stop calling me that."She lowered her gaze.The physician intervened gently. "Miss Vale, I won't do anything without explaining it to you first. I need to check your injuries and make sure you're physically all right."Seraphina hesitated before finally nodding. The examination took longer than Adrian expected, he

Seraphina had learned something during her first days back at the Vale estate, being noticed was no longer the same as being seen.The servants barely recognized her. Her mother relied on Lillian. Adrian watched her as though he were waiting for her to become the girl he remembered. And Darius Blackwood seemed determined to find something wrong with everything she did.That morning, Seraphina decided to help prepare her mother's afternoon medication. She remembered the physician mentioning that one of the prescriptions needed to be collected before the evening she found the house nurse in the medical room, checking the supplies."Is Mother's prescription ready?" Seraphina asked.The nurse shook her head. "We're still waiting for the new bottle. Miss Lillian said she would speak to the physician.""I can check whether the pharmacy has delivered it."The nurse hesitated. "Perhaps you should ask Miss Lillian first."Seraphina paused.Then she nodded and left.She wasn't going to argue ov
