Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Adriana's Point of View I was trying to perform with Calliope, getting all excited to see him. "You are not helping me finish my set," I growled at her. "Our mate has come back!" she said. "Settle down, Calliope!" I commanded. At least I was able to speak to her in my mind this time, damned wolf. She stayed silent for the rest of the set, and eventually, I felt better enough to sing for the last time. When the diners applauded, I turned and bowed my head before leaving the stage. This was the part of the evening I hated. Often, I would have an amorous diner come back to offer to take me out for a drink or worse. I wanted to hurry away tonight and not encourage anyone, human or Alpha. Sticking a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on my door, I quickly got out of my evening gown and into my jeans and hoodie. With a quick change of my shoes from stilettos to trainers, I put the clothes in my bag and turned the light off to head out the door. However, it seemed I wasn't fast enough. Standing outs

Tyler's Point of ViewAs he emerged from the back of the restaurant, Daemon's face looked troubled. Adriana, the stunning pianist, was trailing behind him, her expression equally unsettled. The tension between them was noticeable, casting a shadow over the otherwise fantastic evening. On the other hand, there was going to be some drama, so it could be a win-win situation."This is Adriana, and she will be returning with us tonight," Daemon announced to us.As I looked at Daemon, I lifted my eyebrows in surprise. However, he responded with his usual grumpy expression, devoid of any emotion. As we stepped out of the restaurant, the chilly evening breeze hit us, causing me to shiver. We started walking towards the parking lot. Daemon and Adriana walked ahead of me, seemingly in a hurry, and I followed him closely. We finally reached our cars, which were parked side by side, and I fished out my car keys from my pocket, ready to head home.Since Daemon refused to divulge any details, I deci

Adriana's Point of View When I arrived at the packhouse last night, I had only ever seen it once from the outside. It looked relatively grandiose but also a little forbidding, all three storeys of it. Its stone walls loomed over me, cold and unwelcoming. Now, I was going to be able to see the inside of it, and I still found it forbidding. I didn't want to be here. We walked through the main front entrance, which was a massive open area. Our footsteps echoed in the empty foyer. It was as if the place itself were judging us, judging me. Tyler continued rambling, explaining that this was where they would entertain or have large gatherings. Doors to other rooms were on either side of the open space, but Daemon, as silent as ever, led the way upstairs. It was like the weight of his presence was a storm gathering above me. The silence between us was suffocating. I had been here for mere minutes, yet it seemed like an eternity. "On the second floor, you will find the Alpha's office, as w

Daemon's Point of View While Tyler and Adam were busy collecting Adriana's gear from her old flat, I would take the opportunity to train Adriana to be my Personnel Assistant. In truth, I needed one but had been reluctant to hire anyone for the job. Most of the males wanted to train, which meant I was more likely to have a female in the position. The last thing I needed was a PA who thought she could use the position as a stepping stone to Luna. I suppose I could have hired a mated PA or sought out any Omega males. Now, of course, I was using the position as a way of keeping my mate close by. As I started running through my daily routine, my eyes were continually drawn back to Adriana. Even in the light of day, the room was dimly lit, shadows dancing along the walls as the sun filtered through the curtains. She stood in the slant of light, her hair catching glimmers like spun gold, a stark contrast to the storm brewing in my mind. "Why are you keeping me here when you don't want me

Daemon's Point of View For the last hour, I had been sitting in my office, trying to focus on my work. Now, I looked at the dull, characterless walls, wondering what Adriana thought of them. Would she find them as uninspiring as I didn't right now? My wolf, Theo, was grumbling at me about how I spoke to Adriana. "You need to speak nicely to our mate," he whined. "She will think you don't like her, and that is all on you." Pinching the bridge of my nose, I tried to ignore him, but Adriana's scent was driving me wild. I could still smell her unique chocolatey scent even though she had left the room about an hour ago. I wanted to run to her, place my nose in the sweet spot on her neck, and see whether she tasted as good as she smelled. "Go to mate!" demanded Theo. "I'm trying to work here!" I snapped at him. As for thinking I didn't like her... To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure what I thought about her. On the one hand, I didn't want a mate, but she was my fated mate, and we wer
