#Chapter 86: The Luna Returns
Abby
Stepping off the last stair, the whispers and murmurs reach a crescendo before falling into hushed
silence. My gaze lands on Karl, and I revel in the astonishment flickering in his eyes.
There’s a moment of silence as we gaze at each other. For a moment, things are like they used to be:
I’m the Luna, Karl’s wife, revered by the people around me.
In my shimmering red dress, I feel like a glimmer of my old self, plus or minus a few things. I feel more novelbin
mature now, but that’s how I prefer it. And as Karl gazes at me, taking me in, I think he prefers it this
way, too.
But why am I doing all of this, really? Am I really doing this as a knee jerk reaction toward Gianna’s
comments, to prove her wrong? Or is it something else?
“Ladies and gentlemen,” hKarl begins, seemingly regaining his composure, “I’d like to reintroduce
Abby. As you may know, she’s prepared tonight’s meal for us. Please, join us for dinner.”
A ripple of confusion sweeps across the room, but nobody dares to question Karl’s decision, not in front
of their Alpha.
I gracefully move towards the dining table, feeling the weight of dozens of eyes on me. Some are
bewildered, others are intrigued, but most are just stunned.
But as I approach, I can already sense an invisible barricade forming. Gianna is seated in my old chair,
situated right next to where Karl would sit. The spot I used to occupy as his Luna, the seat that I
thought would be mine forever in a strange way.
Our eyes meet, and Gianna sends a sneer my way, a message loud and clear. “This is my territory
now,” her expression seems to say.
I could argue, could cause a scene, but I decide against it. Tonight isn’t about claiming old territory; it’s
about breaking ground and proving people wrong. I begin to veer towards another chair, one a
respectful distance away from Karl and his secretary.
But just as I’m about to take a seat, Karl’s voice slices through the air, tinged with authority. “Gianna,
would you please move? Abby should sit there. It’s the Luna’s chair.”
