All Chapters of Alpha King's Lost Luna: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

CASSANDRATwo days after my discussion with Kaleb, I found myself sitting outside with Ronald’s fiancee, Helene, on a large terrace. We were seated at a table laden with tea and a tray of delicacies. Despite the nice spread and otherwise nice patio, there wasn’t much scenery to observe.The terrace was on the third floor of Ronald’s tower, and all we could see beneath us were the guards that patrolled the area. There was little else to do, and I found myself missing the trees in Wild Crawler. This place was cold and sterile, and the enormous wall that surrounded the fortress did little to add to the atmosphere. The high, grim wall reminded me that I was a prisoner here and made me deeply uncomfortable. Luckily, the sun was bright and provided some much-needed warmth.When I came to visit Ronald, Helene received me and mentioned that Ronald had some business to attend to. I was about to leave, but she suggested that we enjoy some tea while we waited for him to return. While I wasn’t su

CASSANDRAI knew my statement was blunt and honestly, quite bold to blurt out, but I couldn’t stop myself. I still had no idea if Ronald could be trusted, but I supposed I had no other choice. I needed someone on my side who could curb Kaleb’s power, and Ronald appeared to be my only option. As a sorcerer, the king’s cousin was immensely talented. He could be the key I needed to make it out of this intact.I opted not to tell Ronald what Kaleb had mentioned about the talisman. I didn’t quite believe what the king of Yurene had said because it sounded far crazier than anything I could accept, but on the other hand, something in my gut told me not to bring it up. If Kaleb was correct and the talisman had something to do with me, being utterly frank with Ronald could be dangerousRonald stared at me for a moment with an expression that was both full of awe and concern. He raised a dark eyebrow at me and remained silent for what felt like an eternity, but finally, he cleared his throat an

CASSANDRAAfter we exchanged goodbyes with the kind shop owner, we left the store and began to roam along the streets. I spotted many clothing stores along our walk, but Helene didn’t seem all that interested. Every time we would go inside one, Helene would peruse the displays and try on a few items, but she didn’t seem impressed by any of them.After we left the third shop, I got the feeling that Ronald’s fiancee didn’t actually want to buy anything. She appeared as if she was just acting like she was shopping, though I didn’t understand why. There was some sort of ulterior motive behind this visit, but what was it?I had no idea what was going on, but I remained cautious regardless.We continued walking down the street, and when I glanced around, I realized we were quite far from where the car had dropped us off. I was admittedly exhausted. I hadn’t walked that much in quite some time. Since I’d been confined to my chambers in Vlokwell, the only exercise I’d gotten was the journey t

CASSANDRAI was completely stunned. Had Helene really said that sentence aloud, or had I simply imagined it?Leave Yurene? With her?As the shock of her proposal died down, I realized that Ronald’s fiancee didn’t seem to be joking. Her expression was quite serious. The rosiness of her cheeks had faded and her lips were a solemn, thin line.“I don’t understand,” I uttered for what felt like the millionth time, and after I glanced around us, I lowered my voice even further. “Helene, you’re betrothed to Ronald. Your wedding is scheduled in less than a month. Why would you leave?”“Because I don’t want the wedding to happen,” she replied bluntly. “I don’t want to marry Ronald.”My eyes nearly fell out of my skull and my lips turned into a frown. “I don’t get it. You seem like such a nice couple-”“It’s nothing but a performance,” Helene cut me off and then she shook her head. “I suppose I’m a better actress than I thought. It’s the only way I’ve been able to stay alive for so long. My lif

BECKYJust as Jasper suggested, Marley’s report was concise and clear.The reanimated corpses had gained newfound strength in death. They were able to move and attack swiftly and gracefully. They also had great physical strength, more so than some of the most impressive and powerful werewolves in Wegalla.However, they didn’t seem to possess the ability to think for themselves. Marley also wrote that she didn’t think they had sight as well because when the surviving guard ran away for help and returned with a group of heavily armed individuals, they all witnessed the living dead still attacking the body of the dead guard. Marley surmised that the smell of flesh and blood attracted them to a target and that alone seemed to be the reason why they attacked.As I scanned the report, I made note of a few question marks Marley had scrawled beside some bulleted points. There seemed to be some things she wasn’t sure about, but from her findings, I could draw a few simple truths.First, the “l
