A Scorned Luna's Revenge のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Weeks after that, the house, once desolate, was now filled with people, particularly warriors. People were gossiping that the Adelards were preparing for an invasion with the number of warriors my father had stationed around the house. All because of Koa.“Miss, another letter came for you,” Sonia, the new girl who worked for me came in holding a letter.Cassius had called for Hannah and Sylvia using the excuse that they were contracted workers in his mansion. It was an obvious attempt to get me to return but it was a fruitless attempt. I missed them but there was nothing I could do at this time.Sylvia assured me that she was preparing her resignation but I knew it would not be so easy to resign especially since Cassius wanted to wield her as a tool to get to me. It was my fault. I admitted a long time ago that I was foolish so I did not beat myself up this time. I handed over my people on a platter of gold and now, I would have to wrestle them out of Cassius’ jaws. It would not be l

In my carriage, a man was waiting for me.“You do not seem surprised to see me.”I took a seat opposite Koa, taking out the pins in my hair.“Somehow, I had expected to see you today. You knew I would be out today.” I did not bother to greet him as I shook out my hair which Sonia had put up tightly. My head throbbed as I moved it.“Were you expecting me?” His eyes were alight as he spoke. “Were you looking forward to seeing me?”“Who is the man that snuck into my room in the dead of night and harassed me with a multitude of letters in just a few weeks? It was not that I was looking forward to seeing you, but that I knew you would find a way to see me.” I touched my temple. “How did you even get in here?”“Surprisingly, I only needed to use the door.” He got out of his seat and took a step towards me. “I missed you.” There was a smirk on his lips and no sincerity in his words.“You must not have had enough work to do if you had the time to miss me,” I sneered.“I see your walls are bac

The day came when we finally opened the Adelard mansion to guests. I stood at the door to welcome my guests and although less than thirty minutes had passed since we opened the doors, the place was slowly getting filled up. “Luna Evelyn, you made it.” I welcomed the old lady who arrived with her son’s mate.“I hope it does not turn out to be a waste of my time,” she said as she walked in without sparing me another glance.“Excuse my mother-in-law,” the other woman said. “She has not been out in a long time and has lost her manners because of that.”Luna Evelyn never had any manners but I nodded and smiled along to the excuse.“Pardon my tardiness.” The woman who accused me of trying to live out my fantasies with Koa through Arya’s book arrived.“Miss Rose, I did not think you would make it.”After a little digging, I found out her father was the Beta of one of the seven founding packs of Deimos.“I had other plans but the entire kingdom is abuzz with news of your event. It would be a

RANDAL’S POV“I have laboured and toiled to give you everything you have, but still, still, still...” My mother broke down in tears.It was a sniff, her shoulders shook once and then a second time and she was done sobbing.“Why are you hellbent on going against me? Why can you not see that I am trying to do what is best for you?”“Mother,” I called her slowly. “Thank you for your effort but what do you mean? I am confused.” Despite how my heart raced and my chest closed up watching my mother weep over me, I remembered Koa’s lessons.If I wanted people, especially my mother, to see me as a man rather than a child, then I would have to be a man. It was a confusing idea, but if there was anyone I could trust, it would be my brother. He was the only one my mother was scared of and my mother was the scariest person I knew.“Confused about what? Randal, everything I work hard for, the life I live, everything I do, is all for you and somehow, why is it not good enough for you?” She yelled at

“My dearest mother has her sights set on you,” Koa said during the tense carriage ride back home. “Your father is in danger, too.”Again, I was staring death in the face.The Luna Queen had decided to get rid of my father and I. It was not unexpected. I knew that once she got it into her head that my father was not a tool she could use, she would not want him to fall into someone else’s hands and would, thus, try to do something about him.“You will be fine,” Koa tried to assure me but he had not died before and kept memories of his gruesome death so he did not understand how I was feeling.“I will be fine only if I can outsmart her fast enough.” I bit my fingers. “You will not always be there to protect me.”“I will be,” he said. “Do you trust me?” He beat me to the punch. “No, do not say a word but trust me. I will protect you.”“It’s risky for me to entrust my life to someone else. You are, after all, the Alpha Prince of all of Deimos,” I repeated the words I had heard earlier. “I w
