All Chapters of The Rejected Luna is Cursed : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

My eyes opened slowly to a calmness I’ve never felt in all my years of living. There was no confusion or pressure in my head, no pain…just peace. “She’s awake” a tense voice said and a man’s handsome face came above me and I frowned at the strange face. “I’ll help you to sit up and…” A growl stopped him and he stepped away immediately. King Leonidas' face replaced his own in the next second. His expression was taut and guarded, almost a loud warning that he was restraining himself. His hands helped me up to a sitting position and my skin tingled from his touch.“Thank you” I mumbled, my throat scratchy and dry from lack of use. His response was a grunt and he stepped away. The first man returned, wearing a cautious smile as he approached me again. “I’m Zeus. The king’s private healer” I frowned and then the memories poured in, disrupting the calmness that I’d woken up to. Someone tried to shoot the king and I’d jumped in. The pain…my hands slapped against my chest as I felt around

KING LEONIDAS POV The words sounded strange even to me. But I'd seen one too many heats to not know the signs or make a mistake. But how could it be? She was human. Or was she? There was no world where humans had heats. And the scent, it was straight out of the dirtiest fantasies I'd ever had. Her scent was maddening. The smell of jasmine was intoxicating…dizzying. And the ambrosia, it turned darker, thicker. Not just something to be smelled but tasted, to be drunk until there was nothing left of her. I stared at her body writhing on the bed. I was frozen in place, and for the first time, I didn’t know what to do. “Ahhh” she moaned and I took a step forward. Big mistake. The air snapped tight, her scent amplified, and my control fractured. My beast reared its ugly head, wanting a taste of the woman that gathered his interest but I would never permit him to meet. It was just too dangerous. “Please” she cried, her voice was needy with desire, a sound that almost became my undoin

I lay stiffly in bed, my eyes shut tightly. I don’t make a sound as I listen for the presence of another in the room. Not just anyone but King Leonidas. The memory of what happened between us filled my head as soon as I gained consciousness. I waited for the regret to come but it didn’t. All I felt was the satisfaction thrumming through my body. On some level, I’d been conscious of what I was doing. My body needed satisfaction and I wanted him. He’d given me an option to take a pleasure male but I didn’t want that. My hate didn’t matter in that moment as I stared at him and felt his gaze running across my body. I’d only felt that once in my life… or twice. Both on full moons with that beast man. My mind flashed back to the golden glow I’d seen last night. The pleasure had made everything hazy so I wasn’t entirely sure about what I’d seen. I had to ask, but I didn’t know how to. “Are you going to pretend to be asleep forever?” A squeal left my throat at the sound of his

KING LEONIDAS POVA feeling of terror washed through me suddenly but it didn't come from me. It was a distant feeling, like it belonged to someone else but it made me frown all the same. I dropped the pen I held between my fingers and stood to my feet and walked over to the drink cabinet.‘Richard, confirm Rebeccah is still in my bedroom’ I ordered through the mind link. It would have been much easier and faster if I'd gone by myself but I didn't think that I could see her without attacking her and she was still too sore for me. I've been in a state of semi-arousal since I woke up with her next to me. The urge had almost been overwhelming, uncontrollable, so I distanced myself immediately. I'd known that once wouldn't be enough but I had no idea the intensity of my desire would increase. When it came to Rebeccah, I never understood my body’s reaction. Not too long ago, I didn't want her at all and at just one twink of an eye, I was burning for her. ‘My lord. She's not in your room’

"I didn't" she mumbled. "That's not an explanation for why the throne room held a corpse""I...He was a criminal in the dungeon" king Leonidas fist tightened and my brows furrowed. How did she manage to get a criminal from the dungeon?"Keep talking""I was...jealous of Rebeccah and I wanted to set her up. I asked a guard for help and he brought a prisoner who was set to be executed today. I just wanted her to take the fall for it" I stared at her, dumbfounded by the lengths she had to go just to get me into trouble, and at the same time, disbelieving her story. Aside from being the king's personal servant, Lauren didn't have the power to command a guard to give her a criminal from the dungeon just so she could set me up. And even if it were a friend of hers, no guard would risk the wrath of the king just to 'help a friend' it had to be someone who had power even if it was a little bit of it. Someone with enough reason to make the guards lower. I looked at Melanie and she was alread
