Semua Bab The Rogue Luna: Bab 31 - Bab 40

The fire had burned low, its last embers glowing faintly in the darkness. I lay on the cold stone floor of the cave, my body sore from the endless walking, but sleep refused to come. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and charred wood, and every sound outside—every rustle of leaves, every snap of a twig—kept my senses sharp.I wasn’t sure if it was paranoia or instinct, but something felt… off.Damien and Mira were asleep, their slow, steady breaths the only thing breaking the eerie silence. I envied their ability to rest so easily. I had spent too many nights like this—wide awake, waiting for something, someone, to strike.I sat up slowly, careful not to make too much noise. My ribs ached, but the pain had become a dull throb that I had learned to push aside. Wrapping my arms around my knees, I stared into the darkness beyond the cave entrance.Luca was out there. Somewhere.And he would never stop hunting me.The thought sent a shiver down my spine. No matter how far I r

(Angelina’s POV )The silence before a storm was always the most unsettling. The wind carried the distant rustle of leaves, the faint creaking of old wood from the abandoned buildings, and the occasional hoot of an owl. But beneath it all was something heavier.Tension.I could feel it in the way Damien stood still as stone, watching the tree line. Mira, usually restless, sat with her knees drawn to her chest, eyes darting toward every shadow. And me? My pulse hammered against my ribs, a steady reminder of what was coming.Luca.A deep howl echoed through the forest, closer than the one before.I sucked in a slow breath. It wasn’t just him. He wouldn’t come alone. He was a leader, an Alpha who saw me as his possession. He’d bring others.“They’ll be here soon,” Damien muttered, tightening the strap on his knife sheath.Mira exhaled, rising to her feet. “We ready for this?”No.But that didn’t matter.“We have to be.” I clenched my fists, steadying myself. “We stick to the plan. Separat

Angelina’s POV The moment Luca left, silence settled over the dimly lit room like a thick blanket. I exhaled, long and slow, willing my pulse to slow down. I needed to think.Luca’s words kept replaying in my head.“You saw what I needed you to see.”What the hell did that even mean?Was it some kind of manipulation? A twisted game to make me doubt what I knew to be true?I shook my head, trying to focus. This wasn’t the time to dwell on Luca’s cryptic statements. I was chained to a damn post, and I needed to get out.I tested the restraints again. The metal cuffs were tight, digging into my skin, but there was some slack in the chains. Not much, but maybe enough.I twisted my wrists, wincing as the metal scraped against my flesh. My fingers stretched toward the wooden post, searching for anything that could help.Nothing.I let out a frustrated breath.Okay. If I couldn’t break free with force, I had to think smarter.I glanced around, studying the room. It wasn’t Luca’s usual quart

Angelina’s POV The weight of Luca’s words settled over me like a thick fog. We end this.For weeks, I had been running—running from him, from my past, from the pain that still clung to me like a second skin. And yet, here I was, standing in his room, listening to the man I had once called my mate tell me that our enemy had been manipulating us from the beginning.I wanted to scream. I wanted to punch something.But most of all, I wanted revenge.The Blackmoon Pack had stolen my happiness, shattered my trust, and turned me against Luca. They had used me as a pawn, and I had played my part perfectly.No more.I straightened, locking eyes with Luca. “What’s the plan?”His lips parted slightly, as if he hadn’t expected me to agree so quickly. But he recovered fast, nodding once. “We need to find out who within my pack is working for them.”A traitor.I clenched my fists. “You think someone close to you betrayed you?”Luca’s expression was grim. “It’s the only way they could have known ex

Angelina’s POV The wind howled through the towering pines as we made our way through the dense forest. Each step forward felt like I was walking deeper into the unknown, yet I refused to hesitate. I had made my decision. I wasn’t going to run anymore. If the Phantom wanted me broken, then I’d prove to him that I was far stronger than he had ever imagined.Luca walked beside me, his presence steady and reassuring. He had barely spoken since Damian had given us the information about the hidden temple in the Northern Mountains. His jaw was set, his gaze sharp and focused.Damian led the way, his movements quick but cautious. “We have to keep moving,” he muttered, glancing back at us. “If we’re lucky, we’ll reach the temple before sundown.”I pulled my cloak tighter around me, shivering against the bitter cold. The further north we traveled, the colder it became, and the air was thin, making every breath feel heavier. “Are we sure this place even exists?” I asked, my voice barely above a
