Semua Bab THE LUNA'S ECLIPSE: Bab 131 - Bab 140

VALERIA’S POVI narrowed my eyes at her, skepticism still gnawing at my insides.“How are we connected?” I asked. “I mean, through the Moon, I get it, but how? What exactly are you?”So far, she knew more than half of my life, yet I didn’t know a single thing about her. What made her so special? Did she have the same abilities as me? Or was she something entirely different?Riven sighed, rubbing her temples as if debating something. Then, with a small nod, she met my gaze, determination flashing in her golden irises.“Okay, I guess I need to give you something to make sure you can trust me.”Before I could ask what she meant, she stood up abruptly.I watched her curiously, every muscle in my body tensing as she extended her hand forward.A dark mist, almost like black smoke, began to swirl in her palm, thickening into something solid. The air around us grew colder, heavier, as the darkness molded itself into a sleek, obsidian-black sword.The energy radiating from it made the hairs on

VALERIA’S POVThe grand courtyard of the packhouse had been transformed overnight. Silken banners in royal shades of deep blue and silver draped over the high walls, the crest of the ruling family embroidered into the fabric with shimmering gold thread. The stone pathway leading to the ceremonial dais was lined with tall torches, their flames flickering even in the daylight, casting an eerie glow over the space. Every inch of the courtyard had been polished and perfected, down to the rows of warriors standing at attention in their finest ceremonial uniforms.The entire event was meant to be a display of loyalty—a carefully curated spectacle to please the royals. Dimitri had spared no expense, ensuring that the finest food, the strongest warriors, and the most impressive hospitality were on full display. Yet beneath the grandeur, an unspoken tension simmered, thick and palpable in the air.I stood at the edge of the gathered crowd, blending in as much as I could, my eyes scanning the a

VALERIA’S POVThe news of Magnar taking over as Alpha tonight spread through the packhouse like wildfire. Whispers echoed down the halls, some filled with surprise, others with suspicion.No one expected Dimitri to allow such a thing so easily.Unless… he didn’t have a choice.It made sense. The laws had been on Magnar’s side for a while now, yet Dimitri had clung to his power for his personal gain. The fact that the queen herself had stepped in made it clear that this wasn’t his decision at all. It was forced upon him. Now whatever she said to convince him to do that, I don’t care at least Magnar is not as bad as Dimitri.But can’t say for sure, thirst of power and position make people do horrible things.Dimitri valued his reputation too much to openly rebel. He had no choice but to make it look like his own decision to save face.Still, the packhouse buzzed with unease. No one quite knew what to make of it. Would Magnar be his own Alpha? Or was this just another one of Dimitri’s tw

VALERIA’S POVThe air outside felt heavy. Thick with tension. Thick with something unnatural.I forced myself to breathe, to act normal as I stepped outside the packhouse. Every movement had to be measured, every glance had to be casual. If Dimitri even suspected that I was up to something, it could mean disaster.Just as I reached an open spot near the training grounds which looked so different now with all the decorations and everything else, my phone buzzed. Elijah.I quickly answered, keeping my voice low."Elijah? Is everything okay?" I questioned."Yeah, I just…" He sighed, a hint of guilt in his tone. "I’m sorry I’ve been away and not been able to help you."I blinked. I hadn’t expected that.He was calling to apologize?"It’s fine, Elijah," I assured him. "You needed time with your mate, and I get it. I’m not going to hold it against you."There was a brief pause. Then his voice softened."Yeah, well… we marked each other."I stilled for a moment."And I thought I should tell

VALERIA’S POV"I think you don’t need me at all," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "After all, you've planned everything in advance. You can take everyone down on your own including the royals."I had to play it cool. I had to.I couldn't participate in this bloodbath. Not after everything I had seen, after everything I had learned.Dimitri smiled, slow and knowing, as if I were a child fumbling through a game I didn’t know the rules to. "Oh no, Valeria," he tsked, his voice dripping with amusement. "I kept you close for a special reason."A chill ran down my spine.He lifted his hand, pointing toward the throne that had been placed at the very top of the ceremonial stage.My gaze followed his finger, and my stomach twisted violently.Riven.She sat there in her regal attire, her dark eyes scanning the gathering crowd below. There was something almost… still about her, as if she sensed the danger lingering in the air.I turned back to Dimitri, frowning. "I don’t understand. Tha
