The Luna Marked with Lies The Queen Crowned novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12

After stumbling out of the hotel, I hailed a ride. The driver glanced at me and offered some advice.

“Miss, seems like you’ve had a few drinks. Should I call someone to help you later?”

There was no one to call.

I shook my head in silence and rolled down the window, letting the cool night air hit my face as the city lights blurred past.

Suddenly, a thought came to my mind: Shouldn’t I have married Leo then?

Because we were MATE, I knew from the first moment I saw the handsome man that we were destined to be mates.

But what Leo thought, I never knew.

If I hadn’t married him back then, what would my life be like now?

Would it always be shadowed by doubt, a loneliness I couldn’t shake?

As I looked out the window at people walking through their lives, I found myself questioning, for the first time, whether I really wanted to carry on this marriage with Leo.

Chapter 13

The next day, I was jolted awake by my phone ringing non-stop.

It was Emma.

“Liz, the more I think about it, the more I realise that something wasn’t right yesterday. What’s wrong with Leo? You’ve been together for three years. why is he getting colder instead?”

I hesitated.

I didn’t know what to say.

Logically, I knew I should have been furious when he left me standing there. But instead, I felt nothing-because by now, I had grown numb to it.

Just then, a message popped up on my screen.

[There’s a party in the Silvermoon pack tonight. I’ll pick you up.]

I paused, a little surprised.

He rarely invites me to any of his business functions, and now it seems he wants to make it up to me.

[Yesterday was just a work thing. Don’t overthink it.]

Leo hadn’t changed- he was still as self-absorbed as ever, always thinking that a few gestures could fix everything.

Our fights never lasted long- he’d always follow his same process, like clockwork, to solve them. Once he’d worked through his process, it didn’t matter if I agreed or not. In his mind, the problem was already solved.

And if I pushed further, he’d just leave me alone, his eyes questioning, “Why are you being so unreasonable?”

He never realized that some things couldn’t be “fixed” like that.

The emotions between two people aren’t like work.
