Alpha Damien’s Trouble Maker Novel

Chapter 128 Meanwhile At The Mooncrest Pack Evelyn "Did you hear the Moonborn was kidnapped?" : 58 65 vouchers My hands froze mid-motion, fingers tightening around the damp fabric I had been scrubbing. Water dripped slowly back into the basin, each drop loud in my ears as my heart stuttered painfully in my chest. The first servant continued hanging clothes on the line. "I did," another servant replied, nodding with a dramatic sigh. "Such a pity. Even though people say she's a curse, she's still the Moonborn.

Who would dare kidnap someone like her?" Around them, a few other servants murmured in agreement, shaking their heads as if they were discussing bad weather instead of my lady's fate. My grip tightened even more. The first servant scoffed. "That's the thing. I heard a rumor that she wasn't kidnapped at all. They say she ran away with a man because she didn't want to mate with the prince." My heart dropped so hard it felt like it hit the bottom of my stomach. I looked up slowly in disbelief, my lips parting on instinct.

For a split second, I wanted to scream at them, to tell them to shut their filthy mouths, and defend Lady Selene with everything I had. But then her voice echoed clearly in my mind. 'Don't pay attention to people who talk badly about me. I don't care what they say. Don't get yourself into trouble for my sake. I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to stay silent. Defending her here would only give them more reasons to spread more rumors about her. I swallowed hard and lowered my gaze back to the clothes, my hands trembling as I resumed washing, pretending I hadn't heard a word.

Another servant gasped dramatically. "Really? She ran away with a man? Are you sure? That rumor sounds strange. Why would Lady Selene run away just because she didn't want to marry the prince?" A girl shook her head, clearly unconvinced. "Prince Adrian is perfect. He's handsome, he's the next alpha of the Mooncrest pack, and he's calm and gentle. Who wouldn't want to marry a man like that? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" The first servant clicked her tongue, clearly enjoying herself. "It's not impossible. Lady Selene is a strange one.

And it's obvious Prince Adrian doesn't even like her, he prefers Lady Sienna." She crossed her arms and then looked straight at me, a smirk tugging at her lips, her eyes filled with mockery. "What if Lady Selene got jealous?" she continued, her voice dripping with scorn. "What if she ran away with another man just to get attention? I wouldn't put it past her. She's always been problematic." My hands shook violently now. 12:29 Tue, Feb 3 M Chapter 128 58 11 56 vouchers "Thank the goddess she finally ran away," the servant went on, almost cheerfully.

"Now everything will belong to Lady Sienna, just as it should. Lady Selene was everyone's problem in the temple. Maybe this is the Moon Goddess's will, to have her gone once and for all." Something inside me snapped. I didn't even realize I had moved until my arms plunged the soaked clothes violently into the basin. Water splashed everywhere, sloshing over the edges and spraying onto the servants nearby. "Ah!" someone screamed, jumping back. "What the-!" another cried, shielding herself from the water. The courtyard fell into silence as everyone turned to stare at me.

The servant who had started it all glared at me, her eyes burning with anger. "You-what is the meaning of this?" she shouted. "Are you crazy?!" I straightened slowly, water dripping from my sleeves, my chest heaving as rage burned through every vein in my body. My face was dark, my hands clenched so tightly they hurt. I would never allow anyone to trample on my lady's name while I still drew breath. "Crazy?" I said, my voice rising as I stood fully upright and faced them. "Am I crazy?" I let out a sharp, humorless laugh. "I should be the one asking you that.

Are you all fucking crazy?!" "How dare you talk about the Moonborn, my lady like that. Do you all have a death wish? Mere servants like you shouldn't even dare to speak her name so casually, let alone drag it through the mud with your filthy mouths." I pointed at them, my hands clenched so tightly my nails dug into my palms. "If anyone with authority heard what you were saying just now, you would lose your lives without question. She is the Moonborn whether you like it or not. Who do you think you are to judge her?

To twist her name for your own amusement?" I crossed my arms tightly over my chest, my laughter bitter as I shook my head. "And what did you say again? She ran away with another man?" I snorted. "My lady would never do that. She's not as foolish as you people, running after men as if they're the center of the world. She doesn't even think about men. They are the least of her concerns. And let me make this very clear, my lady rejected the prince because she didn't want him. So why, in all the gods' names, would she run away with another man after that?

Are you all stupid, or is your brain truly that small?" I was breathing hard now, my chest rising and falling rapidly as the words poured out of me. "With minds like yours, how do you even serve your masters properly?" The servants stared at me, wide-eyed and shocked, exchanging uneasy glances. The one who had started it all opened her mouth, clearly not expecting me to speak back so fiercely. "Y-you-" she stammered, but no words came out. 12:29 Tue, Feb 3 M Chapter 128 Before she could recover, a mocking laugh echoed behind me. The sound made my skin crawl.

A 58 £ 56 vouchers I turned around slowly and saw Emily, standing there with that smug, self-satisfied smile, and beside her, Arthur. My frown deepened instantly. Just seeing their faces filled me with disgust. Of course it was them. I didn't need proof to know they were the ones spreading those rumors about Lady Selene running away with another man. They always were. I looked away from them, refusing to give them the satisfaction, and went back to the basin. I gathered the clothes I had been washing, lifting them into my arms, ready to leave.

That was when Emily stepped directly into my path. "Where do you think you're running to, Evelyn?" she asked sweetly, though there was nothing sweet in her eyes. "You were speaking quite a lot earlier. What's wrong now? Are you suddenly afraid?" I glared at her, my anger flaring all over again. "Afraid?" I snapped. "Why would I ever be afraid of the two of you? You're both idiots, and I have no desire to associate myself with stupidity." I tried to step around her, but this time Arthur moved, blocking my way. He smirked, his eyes roaming over me in a way that made my stomach churn.

"Oh, before you leave," he said slowly, "you need to be checked." I blinked, confused. "Checked? What are you talking about?" Emily's smile widened, her confidence clear now that Lady Selene wasn't here. "Yes, checked. You heard him correctly. Lady Sienna's necklace was stolen, and we need to search you." My brows knitted together. "What? Why would you check me? I've never even been near Lady Sienna or her room. I don't know anything about any necklace." Emily shrugged casually, as if she were discussing the weather. "You never know. You might have stolen it. So let us check.

What do you have to lose?" Her eyes gleamed as she leaned closer. "If you didn't take it, you'll be proven innocent and we'll leave you alone. But if you did... well, you don't want to know what will happen then. Let's just say that if your precious Lady Selene ever comes back, she won't find your body." My heart dropped violently into my stomach. I hadn't stolen anything. I knew that. I was innocent. And yet, as I stood there between them, their smiles sharp and predatory, a terrible realization settled over me. It didn't matter whether I was innocent or not.

It felt like my fate had already been decided. 12:29 Tue, Feb 3 M Editorial board Editorial Board: Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
