The Abandoned Luna's Journey to Power (by Emily Reed) novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 Noah’s Choice

Prince Adam’s POV:

After a long moment, I slowly released my bite, stepped back two paces, and shifted back into human form.

My chest rose and fell heavily. There was still his blood at the corner of my lips. My gaze was cold, but inside, it felt like something had been struck hard.

Noah lay on the ground for a while before finally shifting back as well.

He was badly injured. Blood covered the side of his throat and his back. When he tried to stand, he even stumbled.

Peter rushed over to support him, his eyes red as he muttered something under his breath, clearly furious.

But Noah waved him off and pushed him aside, forcing himself to stand steady despite his labored breathing.

Then, under the stunned gaze of everyone present, he lifted a hand to wipe the blood from his lips and lowered his head toward me.

That wasn’t the kind of gesture brothers made after sparring.

It was a public surrender, stripped of pride.

“I lost.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried clearly across the entire square. It was like a massive stone crashing into still water, leaving the entire court in stunned silence.

At that moment, the fingers hanging at my side curled ever so slightly without my control.

To others, it might have looked like Noah acted out of drunken impulse, or that he had been completely beaten into submission in front of everyone.

But I knew better.

From the moment Uncle Niall started stirring things up, Noah had been waiting for this chance.
