ADESSA.“I believe Miranda was the one who sold me to Alpha Draco,” I said in a soft voice, but enough for Kael to hear. His grip on the steering wheel tightened, and my heart began to thud loudly. I sank deeper into my seat, thinking if this was the part where he would shout at me for trying to smudge his stepmother’s name. “Listen first. I was inside the van, and they forced me to sign something—a paper. I didn’t even get a glimpse of whatever it was. I just signed because they pointed a gun at me.” He didn’t say anything or didn’t even look at me, but I could see his expression darken. “The car drove by to her home, and one of the men inside went out and gave her the paper I signed. I knew it was her. It was her home, and I saw her face. She took the paper from him.” “Your farewell letter...”“What?”“Did you write a farewell letter for me?”“No. The only things I left on your desk were the credit cards and the wedding ring. But then they put the ring into my pocket when we wer

ADESSA.“You were on the phone with me, and you didn’t tell me you were coming here?” Rasmus’ voice rang in the air after he barged into the living room of Aunt Aria’s home. “Maybe because I don’t trust you.” Kael rose from his seat next to me and turned to face him.“And yet you’re in my territory.” Rasmus scoffed.“I’m not here for you, but Aunt Aria.”“Enough, you two. We have a more pressing thing to discuss.” Aunt Aria stood up before walking toward her son, placing her hand on his chest and rubbing it softly. “What’s going on?” He asked his mother. “Have you watched the news lately?”“I don’t watch TV, you know that.” He replied. Aunt Aria moved away from him and picked up the remote control. She scanned the channels until she found one with a breaking news advisory.Kael’s hand grabbed mine and pulled me up from the couch before letting me stand in front of him. He gripped the corners of my shoulders, keeping me close to him.My face flashed on the TV, making me flinch, but

KAEL.“You need to be careful,” Adessa said. Her eyes softened, and even if she was trying to smile, I could see the worry in her expression. I raised my hand and let my knuckles run over her soft cheek. “You’ll be safe here. I will come back as soon as I can. Keep the phone I gave you close, and never call me unless they’re here. I will call you when I can.”She nodded. “I have to go.”“The last time you said goodbye to me, you came back unconscious, badly beaten, and on the brink of death.” Her eyes watered before she continued. “Can you make sure to come back alive?” I smiled and nodded before wrapping my arms around her and pulling her into a tight embrace. “I will come back alive. I have many things to make up for, and I need to get you out of this mess first.”She didn’t say anything, but I felt her squeeze my body as she hugged me tightly, as if she didn’t want to let go. I turned my head to the side and kissed the side of her cheek, but I let my lips linger there, wanting t

KAEL.I saw Dexter’s hand coiled on his sides. I met his gaze and told him what to do next. “Go to the bank first thing tomorrow morning and freeze all her accounts. I also want records of her transactions in the last two years, three if possible.”“I can do that,” Dexter said, nodding his head in respect. “Where is Luna Adessa?”“I don’t know,” I answered, leaning forward on my desk again. “I’ll be out for a week or two starting tomorrow.”“What?” They asked in unison. “Where are you going?” Dexter asked.“I have some business to attend to. All I need is a guarantee this pack will be handled efficiently.”“I don’t think you’ll have a problem with that. I’ve been managing this pack in your absence while you were in a coma, but I need to know your whereabouts and what else to expect.”“But you have Luna Adessa giving the final decisions for everything.” Landon butted him, debunking his words. Dexter’s forehead creased before he responded to that. “She has the last say, but we both kno

KAEL.I looked at the photos in my hands, and I still couldn’t believe everything that was revealed to me. The man who gave me this information had been gone for some time, and yet the conversation between us kept playing in my head. “I have the information about your girlfriend, Alpha Kael.” He said after I acknowledged his greetings. “Ex-girlfriend.” I corrected him before I pointed to the chair in front of my desk, motioning for him to sit down. “Let’s get to the point, as I don’t have the luxury of time today.”He nodded his head, then placed a brown envelope on the table and pushed it toward me before taking his seat. “That’s what I collected in the forty-eight hours that I followed her. She didn’t go anywhere besides that apartment. They went out three times—to a drive-through and bought groceries .”My forehead creased. “They?”“You will understand more once you see the photos inside.” Without saying anything more, I grabbed my letter opener and proceeded to open the envelope

KAEL.I left the territory after lunch. But before that, I met my staff at the Central Hall. I informed them I would be out of the territory for the next two weeks, and Alpha Rasmus would take charge of the pack in my absence.I could see they had questions about why Rasmus was needed, so before anyone could ask, I told them there was serious going on in the pack that needed a decision from an Alpha. They didn’t argue anymore or question that.But then someone asked about Adessa and what I knew about what happened to her. I was itching to tell them I would stand by their former Luna and support her, but I kept my opinion to myself. I reminded them that I would not entertain any more questions about her as her case was ongoing. It looked like I was turning my back on her. But it didn’t matter to me. It was enough that Adessa knew I was on her side.The last thing I wanted was for news to spread that I was defending her. The person handling her case might assume I was hiding her and inc

KAEL.Would I be strong enough to protect her? Or am I driving her into more danger? I wanted to mark her again to keep my wolf stronger than he already was. Regardless of whether it was fated or just a regular mate, the venom of an Alpha mixing with a female feeds strength to his wolf. I felt that when we rejected each other, a part of my wolf lost its strength. He was still strong, but he could be stronger. As much as I wanted to maximize my strength to protect her, the Moonlight Ball was specifically organized for unmated Alphas and females. She might not be allowed entrance if she had a mark on her neck. Rasmus was able to sneak in an invite for me because I finally confessed to him that Adessa and I were divorced. He asked why, but I told him I would explain when I came back. I had no choice. Aside from the ball, sooner or later, he would still find out through the news that she was no longer my Luna, as I was sure the investigators were already digging into her life. However

ADESSA.“A sleepy shifter won’t emit an aroused scent, Adessa,” Kael said, and I felt him move away from me. I remained still with my eyes closed, clutching my blanket tightly. I was so brave yesterday in telling him I would pleasure him as long as he returned safely, but I was cowering at the moment. What if he ended up not satisfied? What if I couldn’t make him cum?Or what if, like last time, we had sex and his mind drifted off to Desiree?Wait!Did he say he broke up with Desiree after he bought that ring back? “Kael?” I said in almost a whisper.“Hmmm…” He mummed. “Why did you break up with Desiree?”“I have a wife.” He answered in a monotone voice.“We are divorced.”“Because I decided hastily. I shouldn't have done that. If I didn't, then you're still my wife."I remained quiet, not knowing what to say."Up to this moment, I'm still trying to connect the dots on things I don't understand. Sometimes, I would knock my head onto something to see if I would end up remembering a

KAEL.I moved on to the green drink—the one for Adessa. Like the first two, I just let my hands move on their own while praying to Selene that I would not lose my concentration and momentum. I didn’t care anymore if someone was watching me. I hoped the first two drinks would be enough to confuse them if I actually knew what Adessa’s favorite drink was. Gratefully, my hands kept moving as if they knew what they were doing. My mind was telling me different measurements, but it seemed my hands knew and had their own calculations on how I should prepare and handle this drink. Also, I initially thought I would use a martini glass for it, but I subconsciously picked up the coupe one. I strained the mixed drink from the shaker and poured it into the glass. There were three cocktail drinks in front of me, and Landon was beaming as if we had already won. I was leaning on the counter, my fingers tapping on the marbled top, as I stared at what I had prepared before my eyes caught sight of a

KAEL.“A simple game of chance…” I murmured, repeating the words of the host.I listened as the task was given, and even after we were asked to begin, I remained in my place, staring at the counter in front of me. The challenge was to fix a cocktail drink for the princess, and whoever owned the drink she chose would get a chance to have breakfast with her. Simple as fuck, right? Well, it wasn’t. Because I had no fucking idea which drinks she liked. “How the fuck will we win this when her ex-husband is here? He obviously knows what she wants!” Alpha Randolf blurted it out, and I could hear the others agreeing. “Instead of complaining about something you cannot change, why don’t you move forward and do the task given and give it your best shot?” Prince Vaidas spoke with a calm demeanor before he walked over to the main bar, followed by his second in command.“At least there’s one person in here who still has the right frame of mind,” Landon said in a hushed tone.I had no idea if I

KAEL. I thought Adessa’s brothers would corner me, but it didn’t happen. In fact, I was ignored the whole time. Their attention was drawn to Prince Vaidas, so I could already tell they wanted him for her.But I didn’t give a fuck, because that whole time they were rubbing elbows with him, Adessa’s attention was only on me. I couldn’t count the number of times we smiled at each other and shared a toast of our drinks despite the distance. I felt like a teenager flirting with a girl behind her parent’s back. I knew my reality was more serious and too far from the simple life I was imagining. But instead of sulking, I reveled on this night, taking one step at a time and creating memories with her since I still couldn’t remember if we ever had moments of flirting like this. “Landon,” I called his attention as he was talking with some women. Yes, aside from the unlimited drinks and the loud music, there were also women who came and started taking our attention. I didn’t entertain anyone

ADESSA.After dinner, I was given time to rest before I was informed there was a cocktail party in one of the pavilions—a welcome celebration for the participants of the Royal Games and I would be attending. While they were dressing me up, I voiced some complaints about the lack of advance notice. Of course, I was excited. Anything that would let me see and talk to Kael was always something I looked forward to. So I was glad this was a cocktail party setting and not some formal dinner or such.I was presented with many dresses, and I finally chose the color red. This was the first time I would be wearing one as I always thought this color was too bold, and I always felt unworthy to wear it. But not anymore.Aside from wanting to look good in front of my husband, I want the others to see me as a strong female, and if they think they could use me for the title I hold, then they need to think twice. I was so excited for tonight, but then someone came to my room and briefed me on the eve
THE FORGOTTEN LUNA Chapter 104
ADESSA.I never wanted to stop talking about my mother because I had so many questions, but I didn’t have a choice. The King refused to answer more questions. He said he was tired and we could talk about her some other time, but he made me swear not to repeat our conversation with anyone. During dinner, I tried to sway Esegar and Esaias, my two youngest brothers, who were seated on my sides, if they had an idea of what the task might be. They didn’t want to say anything, but in the end, Esaias told me there was a part where there would be a duel, and the loser’s head would be cut off in the end. He also added that even if the challenge was not a duel, there was still a chance of a head being cut off for every stage.My mouth hung open, and I felt my face burn as I listened to him. A part of me wanted to believe it was a joke, but he looked so serious when he said that, and he talked in a loud voice so everyone at the table heard him. I was dumbfounded as tears pooled in my eyes.

ADESSA.“And you did nothing to help her?” My voice was accusatory.The King’s eyes remained closed with his head leaning back against his seat. If I hadn’t seen his hand coiled into a tight fist, I would have thought he drifted off to sleep because he hadn’t replied for a long time. “So that was it. She got pregnant, and she had to solve that on her own.” I said in a bitter tone. “She was just as hard-headed as you are. She told me she didn’t need me, and before I could discuss things with her, she was gone.”“Please tell me you looked for her.”“My hands were tied…”“You are the King of this Kingdom! Your word is everyone’s command, and you got terrified?” Ironic that I was pointing out how powerful and respected he was, and yet I was raising my voice at him. “The other Guardians asked me if we had an affair. I denied it. I denied I was the father of her child.”My hand clamped over my mouth as I shook my head.“I thought I was protecting her. No one could command me to tell the t

ADESSA.My feet felt like they were gliding in the air as we walked out of the arena and were ushered into a coach that would drive us back to the palace. My brothers were in different cars, and I was the only one sharing this vehicle with the King. Despite my father’s dark expression, I couldn’t help but smile.“If you think I will allow Kael to finish the game…” he began. “Of course you will, Father!” I exclaimed sweetly, not letting my anger for him surface. I had to play smart if I wanted to make sure Kael stayed in the game. I slightly turned to face him, both hands clamped over his forearm. His gaze lingered on my hands before he tilted his head to meet my eyes. “He earned the right to be included, like all the other eleven dashing men out there. And if, in the end, he wins, then it means he is the rightful husband for your only daughter.” He scoffed before turning his gaze back to the front while my hands remained holding him. “A King will never resort to cheating and will

KAEL. “Kingdom of Absalom, welcome! Let the Royal Games begin!” The King’s voice roared around the arena, and the crowd applauded while goosebumps rose from my skin. This was it. There was no turning back.Never did I imagine I would be part of something I only read about while I was studying at the Alpha University. The other Alphas and I used to joke about this game. We wondered what the men had faced in the challenges and if they made it out alive. No one knew. As to what we’ve learned, they were not allowed to discuss it outside after the game was over.So, we joked about dragons and orcs and laughed about how we would decapitate their heads if we were there.But they didn’t look funny anymore. This was real life, and I had no idea what awaited me inside.All I knew was that we were asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement stating that none of the things that would transpire inside should be made public and a waiver that we entered of our own accord, knowing the possibilities of

ADESSA.“His second in command, Beta Landon Crawford of the IronCrest Pack.” The speaker continued, and I was left stunned.I was not able to stop my eyes from growing bigger this time, and Kael had seen that. A smirk tugged on his mouth as he stopped on the spot where he was to wait for his Beta. As soon as Landon was just a few feet from him, he began walking again while I was still trying to make sense of everything. Did Kael realize Dexter hated me? That taking him meant he would jeopardize him from winning? How was he able to fix everything in just a few days? Did he fly home to fix this and fly back here? How did he complete the registration for the games if he had been traveling? But how was he able to make Landon his Beta if he wasn’t home?There were too many questions in my head, and I knew I would never get an answer. But it certainly didn’t matter anymore. He was here, and Landon was acknowledged as his Beta. If there was anyone I could trust besides Kael, it was this m
