The Luna Marked with Lies The Queen Crowned novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Hearing my words, Ronan stood frozen in place.

The next second he grabbed my wrist and forcefully pulled me into his arms.

His voice choked with emotion: “Lyra, there has to be a future for us. You said you’d love me forever.”

“We can have a pup. Our family of three would be so happy…”

Hearing him say this, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Ronan, do you remember?”

“You said a pup that the Alpha doesn’t want would only be born to suffer, right?”

“Now you say you want a pup with me, but when you were secretly replacing my antidepressants with birth control, did you ever think that as a she-wolf, I might want a pup too?”

“When you were writing another woman’s name over and over in your office, did you ever think about how much that would hurt me?”

If apologies actually worked, would past wounds just disappear?

Hearing my words, Ronan’s face turned ashen, his expression frightening.

He stepped closer, desperate and pleading.

“Even if I committed the worst sins, you didn’t have to fake your death to leave me.”

Seeing my cold, silent expression, Ronan continued talking to himself: “Lyra, do you know how much I’ve suffered this whole time? Do you know how guilty I feel, how much I regret it? I almost… I almost jumped into the river to join you.”

He desperately tried to prove his devotion, showing me the scars covering his body.

I snorted coldly: “What’s wrong, former Alpha Cross? Are you trying to guilt-trip me?”

“Everything you’re doing now is your own choice. It has nothing to do with me.”

“Just like how you could have investigated the truth before, but chose to believe Mira instead.”

“Just like how you could have told me you didn’t want pups, but instead watched me drink herbal medicine and visit the pack healer over and over.”

“The choices you made, the consequences you face-handle them yourself. Don’t make me lose respect for you.”

I didn’t want to waste any more words on the man in front of me.

I simply said flatly: “Ronan, I hope we can part with some dignity. Since we’ve already said goodbye, let’s never see each other again.”

I retreated into the coffee shop.

He stood there frozen, for a very long time.

His whole body numb from the cold, he finally looked at me deeply once more, then turned and left.

From that day forward, Ronan seemed to vanish from my world completely. He never disturbed me again.

The next time I saw news of him, he was helping rogue wolves find sanctuary in the mountain territories, and had donated half of his remaining assets to displaced pack members.

He was seeking redemption in his own way.

But it had nothing to do with me anymore.
