Four Alphas Took My Moon Crown To My Adopted Sister Chapter 06

I said nothing, simply watching him quietly. 

“Louis is the one who hurt you by accident. I will make him apologize.” He reached out to touch my 

injured shoulder, but I stepped aside to avoid him. 

“There’s no need. He spoke the truth. I spent years 

wandering alone and enduring hardship. A little 

pain means nothing to me.” 

Cedric’s hand froze mid–air. 

He stared at the sling around my neck, his voice 

growing hoarse. “Stella, I will get that crown back. 

from Teresa for you. And drop all talk of forming at 

mate bond between us.” 

I turned and headed for the stairs as I spoke. 

“Keep it. It suits Teresa well. I hope she wears it 

with a clear conscience.” 

Cedric hurried after me and grabbed hold of my 

right wrist. 

“Must you speak to me like this? It is just a relic of someone who has passed. How much longer will 

you hold this grudge?” 

I stopped moving. 

I spun around and locked my gaze firmly on his 

eyes. 

“A relic of the dead?” 

I raised my hand and slapped him hard across the 

face. 

I put every ounce of my strength into the blow, and my palm stung from the impact. 

Cedric’s head snapped to the side. A clear handprint bloomed across his cheek instantly. 

Rage flared in his eyes, the pride of an Alpha who had never been disrespected burning bright. 

“Stella. How dare you strike me?” 

My expression remained completely calm. “You’ve stood on your high horse for far too long and 

forgotten what respect means. Get out of my 

room.” 

He let out a cold laugh and spun on his heel to 

march for the door, throwing one last vicious 

threat over his shoulder. 

“You will regret this. Without my protection, your 

father will pair you off with any random werewolf 

by tomorrow.” 

The door slammed shut so hard the ceiling 

seemed to rattle. 

I sat down on the edge of my bed and looked at 

my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were dry, not a single tear fell. 

I picked up the card I had made for our third 

anniversary as lovers and fed it into the shredder. 

The shredder’s loud whine tore the card to scraps. That was the end of my three years of love. 

My grandfather arrived in the Wastelands the following afternoon. 

My father went to greet him alongside Teresa, deliberately leaving me behind. 

By the time they stepped into the pack house, Bowen and I were already waiting inside the pack hall. 

The large doors swung open, and my grandfather walked in leaning on his cane. 

His sharp eyes narrowed the moment he caught 

sight of Bowen. 

“Stella. Explain this at once.” He halted his steps, his gaze immediately falling to my injured arm. 

“Welcome home, Grandfather.” I stood up and walked forward, ignoring the throbbing in my shoulder. “This is Bowen Sable, Alpha of Crescent. 

Pack. I intend to take him as my mate in three 

days‘ time.” 

A dead silence settled over the entire room. 

My father’s face turned ashen white. 

Teresa clapped a hand over her mouth in shock, 

and tears spilled down her face right away. 

“Teresa, are you still upset with Cedric? Even if you 

are angry, you cannot joke about something this 

serious!” 

Her words had barely faded when rapid footsteps 

echoed from outside. 

Cedric burst into the hall with Carl and Louis right. 

behind him. 

They had clearly heard the news. 

Cedric stepped forward to face my grandfather, 

his voice tight with tension. “Stella is just acting 

out. We only had a falling out.” 

“A falling out?” Grandfather let out a mocking. 

laugh and struck his cane hard against the floor. 

He turned to face Louis. “Alpha Louis. I hear you broke Stella’s arm last night?” 

Louis’s face drained of all color. He darted a 

pleading look toward Cedric. 

Cedric tried to defend him. “It was an accident…” 

“An accident that left her traveling to the medical center alone in the middle of the night?” 

Grandfather’s voice was quiet, yet it carried the imposing authority of a seasoned Alpha. 

He shifted his gaze to my father. “Is this how you lead this pack? The only daughter of the Thorne family is humiliated, while an adopted girl parades around with the late Luna’s belongings?” 

My father had ruled the pack for many years, but he bowed his head and stayed silent beneath the 

former Alpha’s overwhelming presence. 

Grandfather walked over to Bowen. The two men 

held each other’s gaze for a long moment. 

“Alpha Bowen. Are you certain you wish to take 

Stella as your Luna?”
