Semua Bab UNDER THE MOONLIGHT: Bab 41 - Bab 50

DOMINIC.I took Sofia to her room and we stayed there until she fell asleep, sobbing in my arms. Darvin's revelation hit her hard. She was inconsolable. Darvin had been the father figure she looked up to since her father's death when she was eleven. And she couldn't accept that she might only be left with limited time with him. She kept asking why, of all people, it had to be Darvin. She kept telling me how Darvin didn't deserve this, how he was the perfect brother and it was unfair if our pups would never even get to meet him. She didn't want to believe the Goddess could be this cruel. And I was just loss for words. I knew no matter what I told her, it would not help lessen the pain. So I just held her and promised her I would be with her every step of the way. We would do our best to find a cure. I was not familiar with acresia. I had only heard things about it, so I was not sure where to start, but I would not let Sofia carry this burden alone.I tucked her safely under the blank

SOFIA. It was almost lunchtime and Dominic had not returned to the packhouse, so I called him, only for him to tell me he would miss lunch today. Something was off with his voice. He sounded upset, but he told me he was just tired and I understood. He had been going back and forth between this pack and the Silver Moon pack to perform his duties here and to transition his responsibilities there. I wished I could do more for him. So we have to carry out our plan for Darvin without him. But it was better because if he was upset or not in the mood, this one might not go as Katarina and I planned. Katarina arrived at the packhouse thirty minutes ago. We were already seated at the dining table and were just waiting for Darvin to join us. Beta Daniel and Gamma Hayden were not around, so it would be just the three of us. Katarina and I were busy chatting with each other when Darvin finally arrived. "What are you doing here?" He stopped in the entryway, with his forehead creased as h

SOFIA. After Darvin left to meet up with Celeste, Alpha Lucas came and picked up Katarina so they could drive to the Silver Moon Pack territory. Nadia was still in labor and Alpha Riley was with her inside the delivery room, but Katarina wanted to be there to see her godchild once the pup was out. I waved at them and watched as their car disappeared from my view before I made my way to the training building. Dominic had been quiet for the whole day now, and it bothered me. He was not the one who never checked on me from time to time, but today, he had only done it a few times. Something was definitely wrong, and I didn’t think I could wait until the day was over before I could find out why. The warriors around the training ground bowed their heads at me as I walked by. They knew by now that I would be their future Luna, and although I knew they had their doubts about me, I kept my head up high. Dominic and I would have a difficult start as the new alpha and luna of this pack, knowi

CELESTE. The dinner was perfect. If he didn’t like the food, he never showed it. I think he even ate too many, which made me happy. We actually didn’t talk too much, just the regular conversation about where I work and how many siblings I have, and I was fine with it. Most of the time, we were just silent, but the silence was comfortable with him. I saw him looking at me too many times. Especially on my lips. Maybe if I didn’t like him, I would have found it creepy, but in reality, it gave me tingles down there. I wondered if he wanted to kiss me as much as I did. He wouldn’t ask to meet me if he was not interested in me, right? The only thing I had to do now was to keep his interest. I placed the table napkin down before I glanced up at him and found him looking at me already. I opened my mouth to speak only to close it. The words got stuck in my throat. Darvin dropped his gaze. "I’m sorry, I keep staring. I just can’t believe you’re sitting in front of me." My heart fluttere

CELESTE."Darvin… You’re not going to walk away and ask me to forget you, right?" I murmured against the skin of his neck while my arms were clinging to him.I didn’t want him to go. Everything he told me was overwhelming. I didn’t know I could feel happy and yet broken at the same time.But I didn’t want to dwell on the bad part. I just wanted him to want me enough for him to stay.His arms around my body tightened as he pressed a kiss on the crown of my head. "I’m giving you a chance to walk away, Celeste… and when you do, I will accept it, and I will never bother you again."His words came out low, but I could hear the pain in them. I withdrew from hugging him and shook my head. "I’m not walking away. And you’re not either. Even if that means tying you up on a chair so you can’t leave!" I knew I was exaggerating, but he needed to know how much I wanted him.A smile tugged on his lips, and I got mesmerized again. Darvin was really good-looking. How on earth was I chosen to be fat
