Orphan to Luna: The Alpha's Substitute Bride chapter 111
Mara's POV My jaw ticked at the sight of Talia in front of me. Her laughter echoed through the hallway as they all had her surrounded. The elders, the guests, and other maidens of the house. I paused for a second, watching her from a distance. Knowing she was bound to put up a show. "Talia!" I called out through gritted teeth. Headed in her direction with a forced smile creased on my face. I moved forward with my arms stretched out, Pulling her in for a hug. Talia's eyes narrowed for a second as I approached her, but she just smiled and opened her arms to reciprocate the hug. "Mara, darling!" Talia exclaimed, her voice dripping with false sincerity. "It's so wonderful to see you!" I pulled back from her embrace, my weird smile still spreading across my face. "Talia, you look good," I said, scanning her from head to toe. "I see you’re still surrounded by admirers." Talia laughed, her eyes filled with amusement. "Mara, you know me too well. I'm just a social butterfly, you know I

Mara's Pov I ushered her in as if to give her a warm welcome. I watched Talia enter the room, her confident stride and bright smile making my stomach twist with anxiety. Rhys had been watching all along without saying a word or doing anything. Rhys stood up, his expression unreadable, and I felt a swing of fear. Did he still love Talia? Did he love me at all? Will the return of Talia be the end of our marriage? What if he left me for her since she was his fiance? I had a lot of questions on my mind but I pretended like everything was perfectly fine. "Hey, Talia! Come on in!" I said, forcing a warm smile out of my face. My insides were boiling with rage, I didn’t want to sincerely let Talia into my home. But I had no choice but to let her in. I know how cunning and manipulative Talia could be. I wasn’t going to let her and I’m definitely not putting my marriage on the line. Talia isn’t a toy to be riffed with, she’s a a green snake under green grass,a monster in disguise, a us

Mara’s pov I woke up from my thoughts and turned to face Talia. My eyes locked on hers, My expression, a mix of both guilt and regret. "Talia, I’m sorry. I’m sorry I couldn’t save you that night. I said barely above a whisper.” Talia's expression immediately turned cold, her eyes flicking with bitterness and anger. "You should be sorry, Mara, Talia spat out. You promised to protect me, and you failed, like the failure You’ve always been." I felt a sting from her words, I was taken aback. My eyes widened in shock. Talia sounded like I caused it all. Talia, I did everything I could, I stammered trying to defend myself. Talia burst out laughing even before I could finish, "Oh, Mara, I'm just kidding! Talia exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with amusement. Don't look so serious!” My face turned cold, anger and embarrassment filled my mind. "Talia, that's not funny, I yelled. That's not something to joke with.” Talia rolled her eyes, her smile faltering for a moment. "Sorry, Mara. I wa

Mara’s Pov "Well, that was fun," Felix said, Rolling his eyes. Yara sighed. "I'm so sorry about that, I don’t know what exactly is wrong with Talia.” Mara shook her head. "Don't worry about it. Talia's just being Talia." Let’s just ignore her and enjoy the party we’re here for. Yara said. I tried to forget about Talia’s presence and enjoy the party but I just couldn’t get her off my mind, and so the rest of the day became filled with awkward moments and conversations. As the sun began to set, I was happy to see the day come to an end, as Talia would be leaving, I thought to myself. I said my goodbyes to Felix and Yara and thanked them for coming. As they walked away, Felix turned to me and whispered, "You know, I think Talia might be more trouble than she's worth." I nodded in agreement. "hopefully to get rid of Talia's toxic presence after the party. I rolled my eyes as I watched Talia linger around like she owned the place, even after the party had died down. “I’ve been hop

Rhys povI stared at the walls in my room, overwhelmed by thoughts. How could Talia be spending the night here? I couldn't get over what had happened earlier tonight.I only watched as Talia begged Mara to let her stay at our home, for the night, her eyes pleading and pitiful. I know Talia isn't going to leave by morning even if she said so. I know Talia too well she had her plans.Mara was hesitant, and I could understand why. Talia and Mara were enemies, and the tension between them was too high.But despite my reservations, I couldn't bring myself to turn Talia away. Not yet, at least.So I just stood there and watched as Mara made the decision herself. I wished I could say something but I couldn't. Talia was my fiance, I had married Mara because of how things turned out to be.But lately, I found myself loving her……I was lost in thoughts. As the night wore on, I noticed that Mara seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable.She'd only sleep for a few minutes and then wake up

Rhys PovAs Talia walked away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt and regret for letting her stay for a few more days.I knew I had made the right choice in choosing Mara, but I also knew that Talia was still a fragile person."Talia, wait!" I called out, running after her.She turned around, her eyes flashing with anger. "What do you want, Rhys? She yelled""I just wanted to make sure you're okay," I said, sounding sincere.Talia laughed. "You're worried about me? After what you did? I thought you said your wife would get angry seeing us together?""I know I hurt you, Talia. But I'm trying to make amends.""Amends?" Talia repeated, her voice rising. "You think you can just apologize and everything will be okay? You broke my heart, Rhys. You chose Mara over me."You went as far as marrying her in a short period of time just because you thought I was dead, without even confirming if I'm dead or not""I know, Talia. And I'm sorry. But I love Mara now. I want to be with her."Tali

Rhys povMara's expression turned thoughtful. "You know, Rhys, I think Talia's anger is a sign of how much she still cares about you."I raised an eyebrow. "Really? I thought she was just bitter."Mara shook her head. "No, I think there's more to it than that. She's hurt because she feels like you betrayed her trust."I sighed, feeling a spark of guilt. "I know I did. And I'm sorry for it."Mara's eyes locked onto mine. "I know you are, Rhys. And that's what matters. You're taking responsibility for your actions and trying to make amends."I nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Mara. She always knew how to make me see things from a different perspective.I realized that Mara was right. Talia's anger was a sign of how much she still cared about me. And that knowledge gave me hope that maybe, just maybe, we could repair our friendship someday.But for now, I was just grateful to have Mara by my side.

Rhys's eyes were locked onto Mara’s irises as she held onto her silver flowing dress, with a soft smile creased on her face as she walked down the stairs.He couldn't help but stare at how beautiful she looked, walking down the stairs, graced in her beautiful silver dress.She was truly breathtaking, with her long red hair wrapped around in long waves with a small ribbon placed right on top. Her well-defined juicy lips with the upper lip almost in the shape of a heart that lingered a sweet, caring smile painted with deep crimson lipstick, and her pinkish cheeks and small apart little freckles all came into view when she came up close to Rhys. The space between them slowly closed up as the music by the garden sort of increased when he grabbed her by the hand.“You…” Rhys stuttered, staring into her eyes unable to look away. He’d slowly gone lost in them. Just when she etched closer, he leaned forward whispering into her ears. “You look so beautiful,” He said, with a smile creaesd on

Rhy’s POV Two rogues came barreling in. They were running right for me as I ducked taking both rogues down to the floor in seconds making sure to have them both wounded.I watched both rogues squirming on the floor as they clenched their throats and then I knelt on the floor and started shifting, seeing that I was slowly getting outnumbered. I stepped forward and then grabbed one of them stepping over top of him. And then I bared my teeth into his flesh, growling, forcing a permanent hole as I had him killed instantly as the others stood by watching the scene. A lot of rogue men hurried my way, coming in groups of four, and twos headed in my direction.My eyes for some annoying reason, slowly had its color changed under the influence of me being completely angry over the fact that she was being taken away by Giovanni and I was getting attacked by some unknown rogue men.“Where the hell are they coming from?” I scowled, trying to make my way through angry rogue men as they attacked.

RHYS POVMy knuckles gripped the steering wheel, turning white as I imagined all the ways I'd kill whoever must have done this.I wanted to make sure his death was so agonizingly painful that when I was done with him, he'd be begging for the blessings of death.Lost In my thoughts of torture, I didn't notice how much time had passed. I recognized the area immediately and felt relief pour through me as I neared the motel.I pulled up to the garage, squinting through the dark as I hopped out of my car. I walked close to the building, holding up my flashlight in the air.As I walked into the building, I realized there happened to be no locks on the door. I had my foot against the door, and in seconds the door creaked open.I flashed my light in the direction of the dark, knowing down my guts that it was somewhat dangerous being out here all alone. But I didn't care…Mara was all I cared about.I trudged further into the dark, with my eyes locked on the empty hallways up ahead. I wondered

Rhys POVI watched Talia walking out of the mansion quietly, a couple of days later. Her movements seemed quite suspicious as she hopped into her zooming off.I couldn't stand my Wolf from growling at the thought of her knowing something about Mara’s disappearance.I decided to follow her to find out where she was headed. The fact that I could have her whereabouts tracked by her scent made it quite easier.She took about four turns and then into an unknown part of the city before stopping in front of a bar. A bar is known only to be visited, by rebellions.“What the hell is she doing here?” I whispered to myself as I parked a few meters away from her, making sure to take full cover.I peeped through the rearview mirror of my car and saw that there was a black Benz parked behind me, blocking me from driving out. I lowered my head, to avoid being caught in the game.My eyes widened in shock at the realization of whom it was that had stepped out of the car.The one man I never imagined I

RHY’S POV I had my head lowered as I rummaged through the papers on my desk. I tried extremely hard to focus but the conversation from a couple of weeks ago with Yara, kept whirling in my head. “Go on,” My voice was short and my eyes never left the stack of papers. Ignoring the fact that I’d been on one paragraph for the last couple of hours. “We’ve already upped patrol on the border, but still no sign of her,” Dante spoke up, distressed all over his face as he stared back at me.“I'm open to more orders,” He added, as I leaned back in the chair keeping my eyes low.“We stay on the course, we stay scouting, we have to keep searching,” I said frustratingly.“We can't be sitting ducks, we have to do something—” I grimaced but then paused, the minute I realized I was beginning to over react.It had been a couple of months since she’d suddenly disappeared. A couple of months since we had dinner together and a couple of months since I’ve seen her smile.“Perhaps we could send out a few

I repeated.Yara nodded. "Of course, She has no one else."No one else? The weight of those words crushed me. Mara's isolation, Her loneliness, My failure.But Yara's next words ignited a fire.

Rhys's PovI was left all alone at home. I paced through the darkness of my bedroom with bottles of Alcohol in both hands.Mara's note echoed in my mind. "I thought our love was stronger.""I thought you loved me." "I was wrong."Talia's words sliced through my haze. "Rhys, I'm here for you."Her hand touched my shoulder. I shrugged it off. "Leave me alone, Talia," I screamed at her."Rhys, please—""Get out!" I roared.Talia's eyes widened. "Rhys, I just want to help.""Help?" I sneered. "You've done enough."My anger boiled over.

Rhys povI couldn't shake off the feeling that Talia was involved in Mara's disappearance.Her manipulations knew no bounds. But what if she'd played me from the start?A sudden memory flashed in my mind.How Talia had approached me with Her offer."I can work as a double spy for you and Giovanni," she'd said."I'll feed him false information while keeping you informed."Her expression was somber. "I have something to tell you, Rhys," she'd said."About Giovanni?" I prompted.Talia nodded. "And my involvement," she saidI gestured for her to continue."It all started months ago," Talia began. "Giovanni approached me, charming and persuasive, He promised me wealth, status, and power.""And you believed him?" I asked.Talia's eyes dropped. "I did. I thought he could offer me more than you could, Rhys."More than I could? The words stung."But then I realized..." Talia's voice trailed off."Realized what?"

I called out. But there was no answer, I frowned.Where was she? Where could she be by this time?I searched the house but I couldn't find her.'Maybe she wasn't home, or maybe she must have gone to her friend's place' I thought.But Mara wasn't the type to leave the house without letting anyone know.I checked our bedroom, and there was no sign of Mara and to my greatest shock, Her luggage was gone.A shiver ran down my spine.
