All Chapters of His Fanged Luna: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Kael.I stayed in my place at the head of the table, accepting the endless tributes from several pack leaders. They came with gifts, with words of loyalty, each bearing gifts that they presented respectfully and bowed before walking away to let the next wolf step in. It should have felt gratifying. It was faster all my special day and I should have been happy but my thoughts kept drifting and infuriatingly, it wasn’t about my bride. It wasn’t even about the pack or my father’s approval. I felt it every time I let my gaze drift across the room, seeking out a certain head of brown hair…seeking out her.But Emma wasn’t there. She’d been sitting in the far corner, half-hidden by the shadows, until now. A flicker of irritation coursed through me. I’d told her she was to attend the ceremony. I’d made it clear that she wasn’t to go anywhere. Yet, she’d disappeared, vanishing into the crowd like she didn’t belong to my command.I felt a heavy hand on my shoulder, pulling me back from my spi

Emma.The world was dark. I felt hollow. Everything around me felt like a shadow. As if it was there and somehow still didn't exist. I was floating, or maybe sinking, I couldn’t really tell. A searing pain had wrapped itself around my body like a burning blanket. Every breath felt like it was about to rip my chest apart. But even through the haze, I could hear voices. Sounds blurred together in a way that made me think if this was reality or a part of my delirium. "She’s not strong enough for this," a voice murmured, filled with sadness."Why does she fight? It’s useless," another voice, darker and colder, sneered.I couldn’t tell what was real and what wasn't. But their words lingered, slowly pulling me down deeper into the darkness.Fragments of my memories drifted right past my eyes, voices of those I loved, faces of those who had left me. And then I could hear Kael's voice loud enough through the noise. “Emma, stay with me. Just a little longer.”It felt real, but I couldn’t r

Emma.I felt like my world had stopped spinning. My arms folded tightly across my chest, my foot tapped against the floor in a steady rhythm. Kael was right beside me, like a shadow I couldn’t shake, and I couldn’t bring myself to meet his gaze either. He was angry. I could feel it radiating from him. But he hadn’t said a word to me since he’d told me I was pregnant, like he couldn’t bear the thought. My chest tightened, and I felt a knot in my throat, fighting to keep my breathing steady. Why was he so quiet? What was he thinking? I’d never felt more alone.Finally, the doctor arrived, looking stern as he approached us. His gaze moved over me, then Kael. Clearing his throat, he adjusted his glasses. “Miss Emma, you’re three weeks pregnant.”“No,” I whispered. I couldn’t believe it. Kael’s jaw tightened. For a second, it looked like he wanted to speak but he didn’t say a word to me. Instead, he turned to the doctor. “What do we do?” His voice was low. “What does she need?”The doc

Emma.I knew I had to be strong. I couldn’t let them see me cry. I had wept for far too long, and for just one man. Kael. My alpha. My mate. The first man I'd ever truly loved. Now, I was done weeping for him.i would have to be pretty. I'd have to put up a smile and pass the rest of the day. Cassidy was weaving delicate flowers into my hair. I had to look beautiful. It was a royal instruction and Cassidy had learnt not to take that lightly. As she worked quietly, I looked at the mirror. The mirror reflected someone beautiful, but I’d never felt as empty or as unworthy as I did in that moment. All I wanted was to be alone, to endure this shame quietly.But somehow, I forced a smile."Mistress Emma, are you okay? You’ve been smiling," Cassidy noticed, her eyes meeting mine in the mirror. I didn’t answer at first. My eyes were steady on my own reflection, studying the hollow expression beneath the forced smile. "Do you think I’m beautiful?" I finally asked.Cassidy blinked, taken a

Emma.The memory of Gabriel’s attack haunted me as I stared out the tower window, watching the grounds below. The view was dizzying. It had to be at least thirty-foot from where I stood. No werewolf should have been able to reach this place, let alone break in so easily. But somehow, Gabriel had managed it. The supposedly safe tower had become a place of fear in under twenty four hours. I was jolted out of my deep thoughts by the sound of footsteps. Cassidy walked in, worry clearly written on her face and before I could speak, she wrapped her arms around me.“Are you okay? Did he hurt you?” Her voice was filled with concern. I shook my head, feeling a certain kind of numbness. “I’m fine. He didn’t hurt me,” I murmured, struggling to reassure her. “I defended myself.”Did I really defend myself? Or I had gotten lucky and he wasn't such a strong fighter. I hated to think what would have happened if he was much stronger. Cassidy’s eyes dropped to my stomach, and I managed a weak smil
