Semua Bab Return of the Rejected Luna: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Liana’s POV“I can’t believe he’s gone. I mean, I didn’t know him personally, but I still can’t believe he’s not in this world anymore.” Sue says, looking surprised. I left the pack, and went to the only other place I knew, Sue’s home. Telling them everything, from sneaking into Derek’s room, to him recognizing me, to the talk we had and to how he died, holding my hand, was harder than I thought. I look down at my hand and remember how his hand felt in mine.I thought I had put this behind me after the long cry I had in Asher’s arms, outside the room where Derek’s body lay, but it turns out that I was still in grief. And that was days ago. “Are you okay?” Sue’s quiet voice pulls me out of my thoughts. “I want to be fine, but it’s hitting me harder than I thought it would. I don’t get it, he was my mate, he rejected me, and I moved on, I even have a new mate, so why do I feel this way?” I say, on the verge of sounding hysterical, scratch that, I was hysterical!“Calm down, Alexa. Take

One week after the death of their alpha, the entire Blood Moon pack gathers in the hall for the funeral of the one who led them for years. This was the first time in the history of the pack that its alpha had not died of war or natural causes, but had died of an ‘illness’ or a ‘broken heart’ according to the female population (and some males too) of the pack.The mood in the hall was that of solemn grief, with a heavy silence that made the sound of pins dropping to be like metal rods hitting the ground. The only sound heard was that of Elder Muriel as he officiated the funeral. Within a space of a month, father and child were to be buried. This time, Liana was in attendance, dressed in a modest black gown, and a sort of fascinator hat that had netting which covered her face. She played the part of grieving widow so well that I almost believe she was feeling bad.Throughout the whole ceremony, Asher stood beside the empty chair that belonged to the alpha, staring at the place where his

“We are gathered here today, ladies and gentlemen of the Blood Moon pack to crown a new alpha. With the backing of all the members of the elders of the Blood Moon pack, I present to you, your new alpha, Asher King!” The crowd goes wild as Muriel introduces Asher and the doors to the hall swing open to reveal him, dressed in a velvet black long suit, adorned with gold chains hanging from his collar to his chest pocket. His hair that always seems too long and too unruly is parted in the middle, swept to either side of his face and is tucked behind each ear, held together and styled with hair gel that makes it look wavy.Asher was always handsome, but I had to admit, he was even more so today. The way the long suit clung to his body and his muscles made my mouth water. Even though I didn’t want him near that alpha’s seat, I had to admit that he looked the part of alpha so well. Every part of me (or maybe it’s just Ida’s overwhelming pride) wants to scream ‘that’s my mate!’ to all the fem

“Don’t do anything stupid.” I had said to Asher, and he had agreed, at least with his lips but not his heart. Why else would he go on to do something stupid the very next day? After talking last night, we had fallen asleep, wrapped in each other’s arms and limbs. It was probably the most comfortable sleep I had ever had. When I woke up that morning and didn’t see Asher in bed beside me, I assumed his ‘vacation’ was over and he was about to start his first day as the alpha. After our talk last night, I was feeling a bit more open to the idea of him being the alpha, especially because he had agreed not to do anything stupid.The day had started off well, I had decided to resume work and was happily washing dishes and pans, humming a tune to myself. When afternoon rolled by and all the elders of the pack began to enter into the residence of the alpha/luna, I thought nothing of it and just assumed they were here to start their work with the new alpha.Evening came and the sky was slowly b

“What?” Asher says, as his brows dip in confusion. “What do you mean?” “It is just as I said, Asher.” Muriel replies, a smug smile on his face. Ares steps forward “That is your alpha, show him some respect!” “Is he really an alpha?” Ares rushes at Muriel but is stopped by Asher. “That’s enough, Ares. Let him be.” With one last angry look at Muriel (who doesn’t look bothered), Ares goes back to standing behind Asher.“Where was I? Right, this is an impromptu trial of you, Asher for the poisoning and death of our beloved alpha, Derek. Since the matter was a serious one, the council of elders agreed that you be brought in for a trial immediately.” “What council? I fired you all weeks ago.” “Since you are a suspected criminal, the decrees you made while you were alpha will not stand and so the council of elders are back in their positions.” Asher stands. “You keep on calling me a criminal and a murderer. Now you refer to me as alpha in a past tense.” Muriel shoots Asher a huge smile. “We
