Semua Bab ALPHA CYRUS' CHOOSEN LUNA: CHASING HIS EX-WIFE: Bab 21 - Bab 30

MELANIA….Before I could answer,BANG!The sound exploded through the air.The windshield cracked slightly as a bullet grazed the front of the car. I screamed, instinctively curling inward, both hands flying to my stomach.“Get down!” Raymond shouted.Another round of gunshots followed, rapid and merciless.The car swerved violently as Raymond slammed the accelerator, steering with one hand while the other reached across me, forcing my head down toward his chest.“Stay down, Melania!” he barked. “Don’t move!”My heart pounded so hard I thought it would burst. Fear unlike anything I’d ever known surged through me, not for myself, but for the two tiny lives inside me.Gunfire echoed again.I heard the unmistakable sound of another vehicle tailing us.“They’re targeting us,” I whispered shakily.Raymond’s jaw clenched, his eyes glowing dangerously golden. “No,” he growled. “They’re targeting you.”He took a sharp turn, tires screeching against the asphalt. The attackers followed.“Raymon

MELANIA….Four Months Later…..Four months passed in the blink of an eye. Time did not slow down for grief, danger, or even joy. It moved forward relentlessly, carrying me with it. I was eight months pregnant now.My body had transformed in ways I never imagined. My belly was round and prominent, a constant reminder that two lives were growing inside me. Some days, I felt like a warrior carrying the future within her; other days, I felt fragile, exhausted, and overwhelmed by the weight of responsibility pressing down on my shoulders.The pack had adjusted quickly. They watched me with a mixture of reverence and concern, as if I were both their Alpha and something precious that could shatter if handled wrong. No one questioned my authority anymore. If anything, they obeyed faster, sharper because they knew I was not just leading for myself, but for the future heirs of Silver Crest.Raymond rarely left my side. If I was in the study, he stood near the door.If I walked through the gar

MELANIA….✦ SIX YEARS LATER ✦“Elisa, stop running!” I called out, lifting the small bowl in my hand as I chased after her across the living room. “You need to eat. If you don’t eat, you’ll grow weak and you won’t be able to run like this anymore.”My five-year-old daughter only laughed, that mischievous, musical laugh that always reminded me of sunshine after a storm.“Mommy, I don’t like veggies!” she protested dramatically, ducking behind the couch. “I want meat. Give me meat and I’ll eat. You should know meat has protein, and protein makes me strong.”She pointed a tiny finger at me as if she had just won a court case. “And you always say strong wolves survive.” I narrowed my eyes on her.This little devil.She remembers everything I say, only to use it against me.“Don’t twist my words, Elisa Vittoria,” I warned, though I was already losing the battle.Before I could grab her, a deep voice echoed through the living room.“What’s happening here?”Elisa gasped dramatically as if sh

MELANIA…..“Mama, I want to play with the kids. Can I?” Elisa asked, her bright eyes already scanning the garden where laughter and excited shouts echoed from the other children.“Sure,” I replied, smoothing down the front of her little dress. “But I will take you there.” Elisa nodded obediently and slipped her small hand into mine.The palace garden was beautifully decorated for the celebration. Soft lights hung from the trees, and the air carried the sweet scent of blooming roses. In one corner, several children were running around and playing games while a few attendants kept an eye on them from a distance.As soon as we approached, Elisa’s grip loosened. “Go on,” I said with a small smile.She didn’t need to be told twice. My little whirlwind ran toward the children with her usual boundless energy.I stood a few steps away, watching her.But the peaceful moment didn’t last long.Suddenly, Elisa stopped running. Her small brows knitted together as she looked toward the far side of

CYRUS…Kenji stayed unusually quiet in my arms as I walked back into the grand hall. Usually he would hide his face on my shoulder whenever we were surrounded by so many strangers, but tonight he kept looking behind me toward the garden. As if he had left something important there. Or someone.“What happened out there?” Athena’s irritated voice cut through my thoughts as she caught up with us.“Nothing,” I replied shortly. Her eyes narrowed.“Then why was he clinging to her like that?” she asked, her tone sharp. “It was embarrassing.”I stopped walking and looked at her. “He’s a child, Athena.”“And she’s your ex-wife. I don't want my son around that woman.” she snapped quietly.I clenched my jaw. “This isn’t the place.”Athena scoffed but said nothing more.Kenji shifted in my arms then, his small fingers gripping my suit jacket.I glanced down at him. “You okay, buddy?”He didn’t answer. He rarely does these days. But his eyes were still searching the crowd. A strange uneasiness se
