Chapter 41Rebecca's POV "What happened to mommy?" asked Lucas in a panicked voice when he saw me scream.I was startled and looked down at my palm which was now hot and red. The pain was so real, like a burn mark that had just happened. I turned to my son Lucas, who was sitting on the edge of the bed looking worriedly at me. Then I looked back at the door I had just been holding."Lucas, what's wrong with this door?" I asked in surprise while holding the pain in my hand.Lucas looked at me with big, questioning eyes. He then shook his head quickly, indicating that he didn't know what my question meant."I don't know, Mom. Is it possible that Daddy has put a spell on us so that we can't open the door?" She asked back.Hearing that, I was suddenly wide-eyed and immediately nodded in agreement with what Lucas had just said. In my heart, I felt angry at what Luke had done.This time he made me angry again. Yes, he must have deliberately locked me and Lucas up in this luxurious room."Yo
Chapter 42Luke's POV"I want you to let me and Lucas leave here!"I widened my eyes, surprised to hear the words of Rebecca who was currently hugging our son Lucas. Of course, I wouldn't allow them to leave this castle. Because after years of searching, they have finally returned to me. Of course, there was no way I was going to just let them leave."I won't let you leave!" I said firmly."Luke, you're evil!" Rebecca shouted with a clear look of disappointment in her eyes.Perhaps because she was too disappointed in me, she didn't even call me alpha anymore. Yes, I know that she was very angry. But I would never grant her that request either."Rebecca, I mean you and Lucas no harm at all. I just want to protect you," I said trying to convince her."Protect from what? You're the one who made Lucas and me suffer. I hate you so much, Luke!" screamed Rebecca angrily.Rebecca's hand shot up, and she was about to slap me again. However, I quickly grabbed her hand with one of mine. Because
Chapter 43Rebecca's POV The night turned into day. Day after day passed, and it seemed so long to me. Weeks went by, but Lucas and I were still in the same position.Yes, we were still locked up in Luke's luxurious room. I could only cry every day, hoping that there would be a miracle that could free me and my son.However, my hopes were always dashed when I remembered the spell Luke had put on the door of this room. The alpha never wanted to free us, and he still put a spell on Lucas and me to keep us out."When is your daddy going to set us free, Lucas?" I asked Lucas as I lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling of the luxurious room filled with colorful crystal chandeliers."I don't know, mom. But the important thing is that Daddy still visits us here. Daddy comes here every day, right?" Lucas said casually."Huft, you're always defending your insolent daddy," I snorted in annoyance and chose to close my eyes because I didn't want to vent my anger on my little son.Lucas didn't
Chapter 44 Luke's POV "Beta, order all the royal officials to gather in the meeting hall! Tonight we will discuss something very important," I ordered Harvey who had been walking beside me. "Alright, alpha. I will carry out your orders." Harvey nodded obediently. After that, he quickly left to give orders to the royal officials of Winterblood Palace. Meanwhile, I went to the meeting hall first and sat on my throne while waiting for all of them to arrive. A few minutes passed, and Harvey finally showed up with these officials of my royal court. They all bowed to me in salute. "Our respects, alpha." "Sit down. I have something to talk to you all about!" I ordered. "All right, alpha." Without waiting to be ordered a second time, they all immediately sat down facing me. All their eyes were on me. Tonight was a night full of tension. Previously, I had intended to hold an important meeting with the palace officials. We all gathered in the main meeting room which was lit by large
Chapter 45Luke's POV"Harvey!" I called out loudly.Hearing his name being called by me, my beta quickly came to me. He bowed to me."What did the alpha call me?" asked Harvey, who was still half bowed."Beta, take this omega girl to the healer center! Make sure she's okay!" my shout echoed throughout the palace, pointing at the unconscious servant Ovy."Yes, alpha. I'll do as you say." Harvey nodded obediently.After finding Ovy's maid unconscious in the room, as well as Rebecca and Lucas who had escaped from the room, made me completely panic. I also then called Beta Harvey and asked him to take the maid Ovy to the healer center. With a look full of worry, Harvey immediately took action and lifted Ovy's body, which looked very limp.I walked quickly to the outside of the palace, while using my mind link to communicate with Gamma."Gamma, come with me now!" I ordered."Yes, alpha!"A
Chapter 46 Rebecca's POV The night was quiet, there was only the sound of Night animals singing in my ears. The atmosphere around the palace was also quiet because the night was very late and the residents of the palace must have fallen asleep in their sweet dreams. That night, after I finally failed to escape from Luke, as I was caught again by him, Lucas and I sat on the balcony of our room. We looked up at the dark, starless night sky. It was pitch black, and there was no sign of the moon Gooddes appearing to bless us. "The sky is so dark, Mom," said Lucas, who had been sitting next to me. "Yes, dear. But you mustn't be afraid of the darkness. An heir must be brave and must not be afraid of anything," I advised Lucas. "Of course, I'm not afraid, Mom. I dare anything," he replied proudly. I smiled happily at that. Immediately I hugged my son tightly, feeling his calm heartbeat against my chest. Suddenly this cold night reminded me of my childhood when I was with my parents.
Chapter 47Rebecca's POV Luke and I slipped between the shadows of the trees, curiosity burning in our chests. In the distance, we could faintly see a man talking to a black-robed figure.The silence of the night was only broken by the sound of the wind rustling the leaves and night animals calling out. We were careful not to be spotted, trying to keep our steps quiet."Who are they, Luna?" asked Luke in a barely audible whisper."I don't know what her name is, Alpha. Because I only remember her face. But clearly, she's a member of our pack," I replied.Earlier I did get a glimpse of the man's face and it seemed like he was from the Winterblood pack. Meanwhile, Luke didn't get the same chance. He couldn't see the man's face at all."Let's investigate," said Luke, who was now moving quickly before I could stop him."Wait, alpha!" I tried to warn him, but it was too late.Crack!Luke kept moving forward and accidentally stepped on a dry branch that cracked under his foot. The sound bro
Chapter 48Rebecca's POV"Luke, what do you want to do?" I asked in a trembling voice, as my heartbeat was also racing.How could I not?Right now I felt Luke's face very close to mine. His breath felt so warm against my cheek, and I could feel the slight tremor in his voice.He brought his lips closer to mine. The handsome man presses me lightly, and he's about to kiss me, but his movements are suddenly halted as he stares at my neck. His eyes squinted, tracing my skin as if searching for something missing. "You haven't gotten any marking from me, Rebecca," he said in a low voice.It's true, in all the time I've been his tender, we've never gone that far. Lucas' birth alone was the result of an accidental relationship. Coupled with me being gone for so many years, Luke and I never had that intimate relationship again."Because maybe I'm just not your match of the century. After all, I'm just an omega girl who was chosen to be Luna by order of the Elder. And not because of your wishe
