  • The Jilted Luna    Chapter 192

    The moment the Herald’s announcement echoed through the banquet hall, the lively atmosphere disappeared. A wave of startled gasps spread across the room, followed almost immediately by a storm of whispers. “A Royal Princess?” “What is he talking about?” “I thought the only princess disappeared years ago.” Confused looks passed from one guest to another. People had heard rumors over the last few days that someone important had returned to the palace, but no one had taken them seriously. Rumors were common in the Royal Capital. Most faded away after a day or two. No one expected those whispers to turn out to be true. Across the hall, Raquel felt the blood drain from her face. Her body stiffened. Then it began to tremble. She stared toward the entrance, unable to understand what she had just heard. Royal Princess? Who? The title meant nothing to her. She didn’t even know anyone named Ophelia. For one desperate moment, she convinced herself the Herald had to be talking ab

    The warm water slowly eased the tightness in Victoria’s shoulders. She closed her eyes and drew in a slow breath before reaching for the rose-scented shampoo. As she worked it through her hair, the familiar floral fragrance filled the room, gradually replacing her own natural scent. When she finished, she reached for the matching body wash and gently washed away the sweat and exhaustion that had clung to her since the night before. For a brief moment, she almost felt herself relaxing. Then a strange sensation rippled through her body. It started deep inside her, so suddenly that she froze. A quiet gasp slipped from her lips as every muscle tensed. Her fingers tightened against the tiled wall while an unfamiliar warmth spread through her body. Her breathing became uneven, and she shut her eyes, trying to steady herself. The feeling disappeared almost as quickly as it had come. Victoria frowned. She couldn’t explain it. Her body felt strangely sensitive, almost restless, as thou

    After seeing her parents off, Victoria stood quietly by the doorway and watched them walk down the corridor.Even after all these years, they still looked like the perfect royal couple.The Queen wore a royal blue velvet mermaid gown that fit her graceful figure perfectly. Long sleeves framed her elegant posture, while a flowing train trailed behind her. Woven into the rich fabric was the royal family’s crest, embroidered with such care that it seemed almost alive whenever it caught the light.Around her neck rested a magnificent sapphire pigeon necklace, and atop her golden hair sat the royal crown, decorated with rare rubies, pink diamonds, and blue diamonds that sparkled beneath the palace lights.Beside her walked the Alpha King in a white suit trimmed with deep royal blue. Draped over it was a long ceremonial coat bearing the same royal crest, making the two of them look perfectly matched.It was hard to believe they had an adult daughter.Like many powerful shifters, age had tou

    Carlisle’s voice was cold, but he was still holding himself back.If they had been inside the Red Moon Pack, his patience would have snapped long ago.This, however, was the Royal Palace.He wasn’t in his own territory, and he refused to create a scene inside someone else’s home.He reminded himself that this place was supposed to be familiar to Raquel, not to him.That thought alone was enough to keep his temper under control.Raquel stared at him in disbelief.His jaw was tight.His lips were pressed into a thin line.Every muscle in his face looked strained, as though he was forcing himself not to explode.What shocked her most was that her pheromones hadn’t affected him at all.Instead of desire, she saw disgust.He looked as though even breathing the same air as her made him uncomfortable.“Please…” she whispered one last time.Her voice was so quiet it almost disappeared.Carlisle didn’t answer.He simply turned around and walked out of the room.The door closed behind him.That

    One page after another, the doctors carefully went through the reports. The longer they looked, the more serious their expressions became and the atmosphere in the room grew heavier with every passing second.Victoria couldn't help it. Her fingers tightened around each other until her knuckles turned white. She just couldn’t bear the silence any longer.“Is something wrong?” she asked quietly, unable to hide the fear in her voice. “Did you find out what’s causing their fever?”The doctor who had overseen the examinations finally looked up.He let out a long sigh before shaking his head.“I’m afraid… we still don’t know.”He handed Victoria a copy of the report before continuing.“We performed every blood test available to us.”“There are no signs of an allergic reaction to anything the young princes ate during dinner.”“Their blood work is otherwise completely normal.”He glanced back at the papers.“Based on everything we’ve found, the most likely diagnosis is… a common cold.”The A

    That was why the Alpha King and Queen cared so deeply for Ophelia.It wasn’t simply because she was family.It was because they knew she had spent most of her life paying the price for mistakes that were never hers.She shared their blood.In their eyes, she had done nothing to deserve the life she had been given.Neither of them fully understood how her parents’ relationship had fallen apart so completely.They couldn’t understand how two fated mates had ended up hurting each other so badly.But whatever had happened between them, Ophelia should never have been dragged into it.She had grown up in the middle of a battle she never chose.She had become another victim of a marriage that had long since stopped feeling like one.The King and Queen couldn’t erase her past.What they could do was make sure she had a better future.That was why they brought her into the palace.Not out of obligation.Out of love.Here, she would have people to protect her.People who cared whether she had e

    Tori’s POV The next day, the sun glaringly pierced through the curtains. I couldn't remember when I had fallen asleep the night before, but as far as I recalled, I dozed off in the woods after crying the entire night. But now... I looked around and saw that I was back in the Alpha suite. I was
