The Luna Marked with Lies The Queen Crowned novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Before I could respond, Leo stepped forward, his voice firm.

“Elizabeth is my Luna,” he declared. “If she’s going to dance with anyone tonight, it will be with me.”

His tone left no room for argument, his possessiveness and protectiveness all too evident.

Marcus’s smile faltered slightly, but his eyes twinkled with amusement.

“Is that so? I wasn’t aware there were such strict rules in place for a simple dance,” he replied coolly,

I stood between them, feeling the weight of their words and stares.

The air was thick with rivalry, and it wasn’t just over a dance.

They were sizing each other up, and I was caught in the middle.

My heart raced, uncertain of how to navigate this sudden confrontation.

I wasn’t sure what I wanted either–Lorek’s claim over me was both comforting and suffocating, and Marcus’s invitation, though innocent on the surface, felt like a window into a world where I could escape the complexities of my relationship with Leo.

Before the situation could escalate further, the president Felix intervened.

“Gentlemen, let’s not turn a friendly gathering into something else.”

He looked at me, his voice softening.

“Elizabeth, may I speak with you for a moment?”

Relieved for the escape, I nodded, following Felix into a smaller, private room adjacent to the ballroom.

The atmosphere there was quieter, more intimate.

“I’ve been meaning to talk to you about something important,” Felix began, his voice carrying the weight of both authority and concern.

“My youngest daughter, Alina, she’s always been very fond of you. Recently, she’s begun to distance herself from us, and I suspect… It’s something that

bothers her.

“But she…never confides in me or her mother. I was wondering if you could help – be her piano teacher, and perhaps use this to get close to her and find out what’s bothering her.”

His request was unexpected, but I felt a sense of purpose swell within me.

“I’d be happy to help, Mr. President,” I replied. “I’ll do my best to support her and find out what’s troubling her.”

Felix smiled gratefully, resting a hand on my shoulder.

“Thank you, Elizabeth. I know she’ll be in good hands,”

As I reentered the ballroom, the soft hum of music filled the air.

Couples were already on the dance floor, swaying to the melody.

I scanned the room for Lorek or Marcus but didn’t see them, which was, admittedly, a relief.

“Who are you looking for?” A familiar voice startled me from behind.

I turned to see Leo approaching, a look of jealousy still etched into his features.

“Marcus had to leave early,” he said, his voice carrying a slightly malicious undertone.

“Why?” I asked, curiosity piqued.

Lorek sinirked, leaning in close. “Let’s just say… there was a minor inconvenience.”

I raised an eyebrow at him. “Did you have something to do

that?” Tasked, only half joking.

Instead of answering directly, Lorek extended his hand towards me, bowing slightly in an exaggerated gesture.

“Beautiful young lady, would you do me the honor of

accompanying me for a dance?

I rolled my eyes but couldn’t help the small sinile that tuge

I took his hand, and in a swift motion, Lorek pulled

my lips.
