All Chapters of Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

SeraphinaI wondered, “Where did they go?”“They did something for the alpha,” the woman said, her voice tinged with frustration. “Yeah, they couldn’t really tell me anything else. They’re such soldiers.” She sighed, her gaze distant. Faces blended together for me, and I struggled to distinguish Jamie from Codi. I only knew a few names.“Sure, I can talk with the alpha on your behalf,” I offered, wincing as guilt gnawed at me. Since my return, Alexander had been sending his men on long trips for security checks. I felt responsible for their absence. “No need to stress,” I reassured her, my tone calm.A clamor outside drew my attention. I peeked through the open front door and saw a group of chickens squawking and huddling together. The raucous sounds of men cursing and banging tin buckets against the cobblestone echoed through the air.Suddenly, two burly men barged through the door, their heavy boots thudding on the floor. Their faces twisted into expressions of disgust as they surve

Seraphina "Yeah, right. What a fucking liar you are, darling."Xandriel's face twisted with anger, his eyes blazing as he spat in my direction. Suddenly, he grabbed my throat, his grip unyielding. He shook me violently, making me feel like a ragdoll in a storm. Everything spun around me—the floor and ceiling switched places. A sharp, relentless pain pounded in my head, making it feel like my skull was splitting open."Nobody would leave you alone; you're just too amazing, darling," he sneered.The venom in his voice stung worse than his hands. I wanted him to lose interest and leave me alone, to give me a chance to escape this torment. My breaths came out in ragged gasps, each one a desperate plea for relief."He never laid a hand on me unless I was okay with it," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. I thought of the few times he had been kind—when he comforted me by the lake or saved me from falling out of the pack house window. Those moments felt like distant dreams compared to

AlexanderJamie’s voice was filled with admiration. “Leila was saying how Seraphina didn’t hesitate at all. She just jumped right in to help someone, even though they were strangers. She looked straight into Xandriel’s eyes from the boat, and Leila thought he had this mischievous vibe about him.”As Jamie spoke, a pang of longing hit me. I wished I’d been there to see it myself. “She’s something special,” I said, my voice softening as I imagined her smile, her flowing hair, her face, and the essence of her spirit. The thought of having another chance with her made my chest ache with longing. “She’s got a heart like a Luna’s.”Jamie nodded, his eyes mirroring my admiration. “She’s seriously brave, Alpha. Your mate’s braver than I could ever be.”Jamie’s face lit up with determination. “I’d be up for it, Alpha. I want to help save her.” His resolve was clear, but I hesitated. This was delicate. I wasn’t sure it was wise for him to meet Xandriel—it might spoil his innocence. “It’s someth

Seraphina "He’s never taken me to a social event before. So why now?" I wondered, the uncertainty eating at me. Xandriel always seemed to have everything go their way, shaping the world to fit their needs. I couldn’t make it to the party with Alexander since he had plans of his own. That guy was set on attending the event, no matter what. It was quite the ordeal.Alaya gave me a sympathetic glance and said, "I’m not sure, Miss." Her eyes, wise beyond her years, seemed to shield me from the world’s chaos. Despite her youth, she’d seen Xandriel’s misdeeds for much longer than I had. "Honestly, the way he treats you is unreal. I’m amazed you’re still standing!""You know, Alaya, it wasn’t really Xandriel’s actions that hit me hardest," I said, feeling a twinge of sadness as I thought about leaving Alexander behind. I rested my head against the wall, still aching from where Xandriel had slammed it against the stone so many times. It was surprising it hadn’t cracked. "But what he doesn’t

AlexanderJamie still doesn’t fully grasp the harsh realities of war. He doesn’t see why those close to the crown can become targets for rival factions. Sure, if Luna were taken hostage, it could break an alpha or shatter them, but a child? That wouldn’t make much difference. It’s easy to forget just how ruthless people like Xandriel can be. They’re capable of anything.I sank down beside the dense foliage, feeling the rough leaves brush against my skin. I closed my eyes, trying to push away the anxiety gnawing at me as Xandriel’s territory loomed ahead. If I could just make it through one more day, nightfall would bring some relief from this waiting game. But the thought of sitting here, doing nothing but waiting, was almost unbearable.With a resigned sigh, I muttered a prayer under my breath, hoping the night would pass quickly and that tomorrow would offer a break from this tension....SeraphinaI was completely disoriented, overwhelmed by pain so intense that I couldn’t recall t
