Lahat ng Kabanata ng Azriel King's Luna: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

NARRATOR’S POV The entire pack had gathered, bringing joy and excitement to the room. The aroma of flowers filled the air as lanterns swayed gently in the cold breeze. While calming music played in the background, there were whispers of laughter among the pack members. The pack was eager for the ceremony to begin. Paige stood at the end of the long aisle, looking stunning in her flowing white gown. Under the moonlight, her hair shone as it fell down her shoulders. She stared at Azriel, who was standing at the altar and was equally powerful in his dark suit, her eyes sparkled.It was the perfect picture of love and renewal. But behind their calm smiles, something else brewed; tension, anticipation, and awareness.Every step, every word and movement was part of a plan.Paige and Azriel had learned long ago to never underestimate their enemies, especially not Emily. And though Emily had been missing for weeks, Paige’s instincts told her something wasn’t right. She had woken up in the

LUCINDA’S POVThe past is something I have tried to bury a thousand times, but somehow, it always claws its way back to the surface. Maybe that’s what guilt does, it haunts you like a ghost that refuses to die. I still remember the first day I met Benjamin like it was yesterday. The memory is too vivid, too sweet, and too painful to ever fade away.He was magnificent. Strong shoulders, sharp eyes that glowed amber when the light hit them, and a confidence that made the world around him seem small. I had only meant to fetch herbs that day, the kind that grow near running water and bloom silver under the sun. But when I saw him step out of the woods, shifting from wolf to man, everything inside me went still.From the moment I laid eyes on him, I knew I was lost.That day, I hid behind a large rock and watched as he washed the dirt off his arms, his body glistening with droplets that caught the sunlight. There was something so pure, so untamed about him. I felt my heart beat in a rhythm

LUCINDA’S POV After placing the curse that night, I didn’t look back. The forest behind me burned with memories I wanted to forget; the stream where I had buried my child, the whispers of Benjamin’s name that haunted every shadow. I left it all behind. I packed a small satchel of herbs, spellbooks, and a few clothes, and I walked until the soles of my feet bled.Days turned into weeks, and soon I crossed borders into another state, far from the Black Crow Pack. The forests here were quieter, the moon colder. The people didn’t know me, and that was all I wanted, to disappear.But though I had escaped, I wasn’t the same woman anymore.Gone was the gentle Lucinda who once smiled at butterflies and danced under the rain. That woman had died the day Benjamin abandoned her. What remained was a shadow wearing her face, a witch with no heart, just vengeance pulsing in her veins.I rented a small cabin near the edge of the Sky Moon Pack territory. I tried living quietly, mingling and adapting

PAIGE’S POV The night was quiet, but my thoughts were anything but calm. The moonlight shone faintly through the large windows, tracing pale silver lines across the room. Azriel was beside me, his breathing deep and even as his arm wrapped loosely around my waist, he had drifted into slumber easily, but I couldn’t close my eyes.No matter how hard I tried, Lucinda’s voice wouldn’t leave my mind.Her story played over and over again like a broken song, each word scraping against my heart. I could still see her expression, calm, almost empty as she recounted the pain of her past; the betrayal of Azriel’s father, and the curse that followed. It wasn’t just a story. It was a confession, and I didn’t know what to do with it.For most of my life, I had wondered how my real mother was. I used to imagine someone kind, loving, and strong. I dreamed that one day when we finally meet in the next life, she would hold me and say she was sorry. That she missed me and loved me.But instead, I got L

PAIGE’S POV It seemed like a longer walk than normal to the dungeon. There was an odd weight on my chest as each foot echoed against the chilly stone floor. As I dropped, the air grew colder and I could smell the familiar smell of iron and moisture. Thin shadows danced like restless souls as the lights along the walls flickered softly.My heart beat faster the closer I got to her cell. Emily. The mere thought of her name made my stomach twist because I wasn’t sure what I was walking into; an apology? a trap? or something in between? But I had to know.When I finally reached the last corridor, the guard stationed there bowed lightly. “Luna.” he greeted.“Unlock it,” I said quietly, nodding toward the cell.He hesitated. “Are you sure, Luna? She requested to see you alone.”“I’m sure,” I replied, though my voice trembled a little. “Leave us. I will call if I need you.”The guard gave a reluctant nod, then unlocked the door. It opened with creaking hinges, revealing a dimly lit room wi
