Semua Bab THE LYCAN KING'S CONTRACT LUNA : Bab 41 - Bab 50

Chapter 42Maya sat in the dimly lit room, her thoughts racing. She had been toying with the idea of helping Bennett, but something about it felt wrong. She wasn't sure if it was the fear of getting caught or the guilt that came with betraying Federico and the pack. But the truth was, she owed Bennett more than she cared to admit. He had leverage on her, and she couldn't ignore that.As she sat staring at her phone, it buzzed, making her jump. She glanced at the screen. Bennett.She hesitated before answering, her heart pounding. "What is it?" she said, her voice low and sharp.Bennett’s voice was smooth and calm on the other end of the line. “Maya, darling. I’ll be at the pack’s border soon. I need you to let me in.”Maya’s breath hitched. “Bennett, you’re insane. I can't do this. There are too many guards, and if anyone finds out—”“They won’t,” he interrupted, his tone unwavering. “You’re smart enough to make sure they don’t. I know you're capable of getting me in. You owe me, Maya

Chapter 44Azalea’s heart pounded in her chest as Bennett strode into the grand hall, his presence sending a ripple of shock through the room. His eyes locked onto hers, and in that instant, all the memories she had tried to bury came rushing back. The last time she saw him was the day she called the cops on him, the day everything changed between them.Her stomach twisted with nausea. She couldn’t be here. She had to get out. But as she turned to leave, Ophelia’s sharp voice cut through the air.“Leaving so soon, Azalea?” Ophelia’s smile was ice-cold. “I think it’s only fair that we hear why our guest has decided to grace us with his presence.”Azalea froze, her pulse racing. She glanced at Federico, who was now staring intently at Bennett, his posture stiff and alert. Everyone in the room could sense something was off, and the tension was palpable.Federico narrowed his eyes at Bennett, his voice low but commanding. “How did you get in here? You’re a rogue Lycan. This place is secur

Chapter 46Azalea's hands were trembling as the ball came to an end. The chatter and laughter of the guests felt distant, muffled by the weight of Bennett's words. Every step she took away from the grand hall felt heavier than the last, her mind spinning with confusion and fear. Federico was by her side, his strong presence giving her a sense of safety, but the silence between them was thick, filled with unspoken questions.Federico led her down the long corridors of the castle, his hand resting gently on the small of her back. Azalea glanced at him from the corner of her eye, his face stern, jaw clenched. He hadn’t said much after Bennett’s dramatic entrance, but she could tell he was processing everything. The tension in his shoulders was palpable, and she could feel his anger simmering just beneath the surface.As they reached their chambers, Federico opened the door for her and followed her inside. Azalea felt the overwhelming need to collapse, her legs weak from the emotional str

Chapter 48Azalea stirred in her bed as the early morning light crept through the curtains. Her body ached from the tension of the previous days, but there was little time to rest. A soft knock at the door startled her awake. She sat up, blinking away the remnants of sleep as she heard the door creak open."My lady?" Vick's familiar voice called softly from the doorway. He stepped inside, his eyes scanning the room before they settled on her. He smiled faintly, though there was an edge of concern in his expression. "Good morning. I’ve come to help you get ready."Azalea let out a small sigh of relief, grateful for his presence. She swung her legs over the side of the bed, the cold floor sending a shiver up her spine.“Vick,” she greeted him, her voice still groggy from sleep. “What’s going on?”Vick walked over to the wardrobe, pulling out a deep emerald gown that complemented Azalea’s pale complexion. “The king has summoned everyone for breakfast in the grand dining hall. Gabe will b

Chapter 50The air in the grand hall was thick with anticipation. Azalea’s heart raced as she clutched Federico’s arm, trying to draw strength from his unwavering presence. It was time for the meeting, and though she tried to keep her mind clear, unease gnawed at her. With each step forward, she felt like she was inching closer to some dark revelation.Federico led her into the room where members of the court were already seated, their gazes piercing. At the head of the table sat the king, his expression as unreadable as ever. As Azalea and Federico took their seats, she noticed Maya seated nearby, her hands twisting nervously in her lap. Bennett was present too, looking annoyingly calm, as if he hadn’t a care in the world.The king cleared his throat, demanding the attention of the room. "Azalea, Maya," he began in a voice that commanded authority, "please stand."Azalea felt her heart skip a beat as she and Maya rose to their feet. The king's cold gaze flickered between them, studyi
