The Luna Is Gone

Chapter 66

Diana’s pov

Along with it came the powerful Alpha aura emitted by Marc.

Except for Nathan and me, everyone present showed painful expressions and was

forced to bend down.

The two bodyguards who were holding me back simultaneously stepped back and knelt down on the ground.

Without their support, I suddenly felt powerless and dizzy.

Marc supported my shoulder with one hand and held my legs with the other, lifting me horizontally.

“Alpha Nathan, I will let this matter rest.” Marc spoke in an angry voice, his cold eyes scanning Avia and Mrs. Wayne, warning, “You’d better protect these two women. Otherwise, once they fall into my hands, I will definitely make their life a living death.”

“How dare you?” Nathan growled.

“Wait and see. You allowed others to slander and bully my sister, then you should be prepared to pay the price.”

After speaking, Marc hugged me and left the ward.

I didn’t take another look at Nathan.

My heart has completely despair in this humiliation.

The continuous slaps were like knives, cutting all my feelings for Nathan bit by bit.

On the next day.

I stood in front of the mirror, staring at the woman inside with red and swollen eyes and a blue face, and couldn’t help but freeze.

I thought I would never see myself in such a miserable state again. I thought those humiliations and pains had already ended when I rejected Nathan a year ago.

However, reality still played a joke on me.

Dong dong dong!

The office door was knocked on.

I took a deep breath, put on my mask, and shouted “Please come in“.

It was Moss.

“I haven’t seen you in the lab for two days. Where have you been?” He asked. “To take something.” I handed Moss a box.

Moss took it over, lifted the lid, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

“How did you get so many Gummy Skulls?” He asked.

I told Moss about my experience at The Enchantment that day.

“Are you trying to use yourself as bait to gain their trust? Then start from him to find the true manufacturer of Gummy Skull?”

I nodded.

“This is too dangerous,” Moss looked at me disapprovingly. “Don’t forget your identity. What if something unexpected happens? What should we do with our research?”

“But this is the only way. I won’t feel safe if I entrust it to someone else.”

I let out a sigh.

“In short, I will be careful. If… I mean, if something really happens, we still have you. We already have a direction now. The rest just needs to be tested by time. So even without me… I believe the experiment will succeed.”

Moss lowered his gaze at me, his emotions unclear.

At one moment, I even felt like he was silently cursing at me–

Cursing that I was a fool.

But a few seconds later, he just smiled lightly.

“Whatever you want,” he shrugged. “Then I’ll take these Gummy Skulls back to the lab first.”

“Okay.”

Moss turned around and left.

Suddenly, he stopped.

“By the way,” he turned around and looked at me, leaning against the door, “First of all, I declare that I have no intention of interfering in your personal affairs. However, as Healer, your safety is important to our entire research team, especially your hands and brain. Although I can indeed

continue the following research, I must admit that with you as the leader, our efficiency and accuracy will be higher. So, could you please take care of yourself?”

I was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

“I understand.”

Moss raised his eyebrows and left.

I took a deep breath. Indeed, despite my efforts to conceal myself, Moss was a top medical student and could tell at a glance that I had injuries on my arms and face.

Taking back my thoughts, I took two antidotes of Gummy Skull.

Then, I left the office and went up to the 20th floor, knocking on Nathan’s door.

I actually didn’t want to see him.

We had an irreconcilable contradiction between us, and we went through so much yesterday. I didn’t think either he or I would want to see each other again.

But Nathan ate Gummy Skull for me, and I couldn’t really ignore him.

The door was opened from inside.

A haggard face appeared in my eyes.

I was stunned. I couldn’t believe the man in front of me would be the esteemed Alpha Nathan.

He probably didn’t sleep all night, with messy hair, red eyes and a strong smell of alcohol on him. His chin was covered in freshly sprouted stubble.

He was still wearing the clothes he wore yesterday. He only unbuttoned the two buttons on the collar, and the tie was hanging around his neck, looking disheveled.

“Nathan, you

I was about to speak when Nathan suddenly grabbed my wrist.

Immediately after, he forcefully dragged me into the room.

With a loud bang, the door closed. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

And I was pressed against the door by Nathan.

“What are you doing?”

I didn’t expect such a thing to happen suddenly.

I started struggling, but Nathan clearly didn’t mean to let go of me.

He easily grabbed my wrists with just one hand and lifted them over my head, making it impossible for me to break free.

In a panic, I shouted, “Are you crazy, Nathan? Are you still drunk? You see who I am? Bastard! Let go of me – oh!”

All my voices were blocked the moment Nathan lowered his head and leaned over.

I widened my eyes in shock.

I couldn’t believe Nathan… kissed me.

I didn’t know if it was because he was drunk, but he was more impulsive and wild than usual. I even heard the sound of us exchanging saliva.

I thought this should have been a beautiful kiss.

But because of what happened yesterday, I only felt bitter.

I struggled again.

But Nathan’s strength was too strong for me to break free.

Helplessly, I could only take a hard bite on his tongue.

The smell of blood filled his mouth, and Nathan took a deep breath. Finally, he let go

of me and stepped back a bit.

“What the hell are you doing?” I yelled.

Didn’t he say he hated me? Didn’t he say he wanted to kill me? Wasn’t it that Avia and his mother were allowed to punish me?

Why did he show his love for me now?

Nathan didn’t speak, but raised his hand to stroke my cheek.

The swelling on my face have not subsided. Even with a gentle touch, I felt hot and painful.

I inhaled in pain.

Nathan stopped moving and furrowed his brow.

At one moment, I seemed to see pain and pity in his eyes, which almost made my heart stop beating.

I saw Nathan’s lips move, as if he wanted to say something.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Then the door behind me was heavily knocked on.

The intense sound covered Nathan’s voice. I couldn’t hear what he said.

But I always felt that the words he just said were important to me.

I gritted my teeth, almost mustering up all my courage and self–esteem, and humbly asked, “Nathan, what did you say?”

Nathan’s eyes were hazy. He was staring at me,

Then, under my hopeful gaze, he vaguely said-

“Avia.”
