Contract Luna For A Year 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

Loretta's POV I made it. All thanks to the strange man. When I finally succeeded in regulating my heavy breathing and not minding the guards who were yelling on the other end, I raised my head slowly. But he wasn't there. There was no sight of him hence making me feel like I was hallucinating and thus making up ideas in my head. “But…” Shoving my thoughts off, I began to grope my way towards the pack as I didn't have any more time to waste. As expected, the looks I was getting from the pack members were all mocking while those who could speak jeered at me but I didn't flinch.I was used to all these now, so I was unmoved by it all. Getting to my father's house, I hesitated for a while before connecting my fist to the door. When I wouldn't get a response, I increased the intensity of my knock only to halt when I began to hear the sound of approaching footsteps. A few moments later, the lock clicked and Rose poked her head out. It took a while before she saw me and when she

Loretta’s POVJust like I wanted, the mating ceremony wasn't an elaborate one as only the elders and important people in the pack were present. Though it was swift, I couldn't help but to feel tired at the end of it all.At the moment, I was in the middle of my bedroom as I had just got in a little while ago. To my delight, Alpha Lorenzo didn't even bother probing about my wounds which he had examined while we were still at Neverland pack. And also, he didn't even bother asking me how my relationship with my family was like. Taking a deep breath, I took off the hair pin that held my hair in place the whole time before proceeding to take every piece of jewelry that adorned my body. “I'm sorry, I had to fix some stuff before heading here.” Hailey, my personal maid said in a breath as she waddled in. Flashing her a smile, I went ahead to speak in a calm voice, “I understand. Moreover, I can undress myself.” I added with a shrug. “No, it's my duty and I'm not one to slack off.” She

Loretta’s POVThe cold gaze he sent my way which always went beyond the surface of my skin made me wince a little.If only I had been a little more careful, I wouldn't have been in this situation. “I'll get going.” I managed to speak but I couldn't move my feet. It seemed like they had been glued to the ground.“You want to know the reason why?” He huffed, his chair scraping the floor and making an unpleasant sound. Fiddling with my fingers, I reattempted moving my feet but just like before I couldn't as I was glued to the ground. Blinking my eyes uncontrollably, I began to mutter my last prayer to the moon goddess. “Who told you I’m betrothed?” He asked, halting a few feets from me with his hands tucked inside of his pockets. Rubbing my sweaty palms against my gown, I recalled Hailey’s words when she said the lady claimed to be his betrothed. “I shouldn't have asked him directly.” I mumbled, shutting my eyes tightly with my lower lips in between my teeth. “I asked a question,

Author's POV “What is the matter?” Rita asked with a cocked brow and face filled with concern. Slowly, she made her way towards her husband who was resting against the table and then placed her hand on his shoulder. “Tell me, what happened?” She coaxed, rubbing his back to soothe him and also cajole him into saying nothing but that truth. “I think it is time I make a move.” He mouthed and instantly, Rita veered backwards, trying to fathom what he was talking about. “He is a pawn in my game now, I have to use him before I get stripped of my chance to do so.” He added. Confused, Rita parted her lips to speak but words refused to form. “What exactly are you talking about?” She finally asked when she found her tongue. “Alpha Lorenzo.” She received a curt and short response that made her eyes widen like saucers. Trembling, she grabbed the edge of the table for support as her heart slammed against her chest in fury. The last time Alpha Lorenzo paid them a visit was her first time

Loretta's POV Two months later…Stepping backwards from the painting I had been working on since the previous day, I had a fulfilled look on my face. Hard work surely pays off. Since Alpha Lorenzo had asked me not to be idling around, I decided to hone my skills in art. It was something that had been embedded in me since childhood but unfortunately, I had no chance to practice it. “Hey, it's so beautiful.” Hailey shrieked behind me, making a bright smile appear on my lips. “Thank you.” “Where are you going to hang this?” She asked, crossing her hands on her chest. “You have tons of art works already but no one has seen them, apart from me.” She pouted. Touching my shoulder tenderly, she asked, “Why are you hiding them?” “Nothing.” I shrugged, wiping off the paint on my fingers. “Then show just one masterpiece to the Alpha. Believe me, he is going to love it.” She chuckled only to keep a straight face the next second. “I'm sorry, I will be back in a jiffy.” She curtsied and
