The Alpha's Mafia Luna novel Chapter 34

The Alpha’s Mafia Luna

Chapter 34

Three days. Three whole days.

That’s how long it had been since I last saw Mark. Not a word. Not a

whisper. No calm voice full of twisted control, no sick little speeches.

Just… silence. The kind of silence that feels like it’s pressing on your

skin and squeezing your lungs. The kind that makes you feel like

something’s coming but you don’t know when or how. And the only

thing breaking that silence–him.

The masked man.

He wasn’t like Mark. He didn’t talk much. Sometimes he didn’t talk at

all. He just watched me. Sat or stood in the corner like a shadow that

refused to leave. And when he looked at me, it wasn’t with curiosity.

It wasn’t pity. It was… something else. I didn’t know what it

it made me cold inside.

was,

but

Today, the door opened again. Quietly. Like it always did. No creak,

no groan. Just that soft hiss of air as the seal broke. I didn’t even

bother turning my head at first. I already knew it was him.

His boots didn’t make much sound on the floor. But I heard the tray- the dull clink when he dropped it on the small metal table near the corner. Same food. Same tray. Same routine. But something was

different today. I could feel it before I looked up.

His gaze. It was heavier. Like it was trying to pull me in or press me

down. I raised my eyes slowly. There he was–tall, wide shoulders, the

dark mask covering his whole face. Still. Silent.

“Eat,” he said.

His voice. It didn’t sound like it used to. Before, it was robotic. Cold.

Programmed. But today, it sounded rough. Less like a machine. More

like a real person. A man.

And then he did something he hadn’t done before.

He looked at me. Not just glanced. Not just checked if I was alive. No,

he looked at me. From my throat down to my lap. Like he was

thinking something. Imagining something. I didn’t need to be a

genius to understand the way his eyes moved.

My skin felt like it was crawling with ants. Cold, angry ants.

I didn’t flinch. I didn’t give him the reaction he probably wanted.

“I know how to use a spoon and fork,” I said, my voice flat and cold

like a stone left out in the rain. “Now leave.”

He stood there for a second too long. His body didn’t move. Just his eyes, behind that mask. Then, finally, he turned around and walked

out without a word. The door hissed shut behind him.

I let out a slow breath.

Creep.

I pushed the tray away with the back of my hand. My stomach wasn’t

interested. Not in food. Not in anything. I turned back to the screen

on the desk. The one that had been showing me strange symbols for

the past three days.

The language was still confusing. But not as much as before. I had

been staring at it for hours every day. And some parts were starting to make sense. Some of the symbols matched the sounds in the lullaby.

The lullaby from my dream.

Aeloria.

That name again. Always that name.

It had shown up in my dream like a whisper. Like something ancient

and lost. A kingdom no one talked about anymore. A place that didn’t

exist in books or news or any history class. But it was real. I knew it. I

didn’t need proof. I could feel it in my bones.

Chapter 34

Every night I heard her voice. The woman in my dreams. Singing the

lullaby. The same sad tune. Always the same. Her voice wasn’t young.

It was tired. Full of pain. Every word she sang felt like it was meant

for me.

I repeated the words again, softly under my breath. They matched the

script on the screen. Exactly. How could that be?

That’s when I found the new file.

It looked older than the others. The edges of the scan were blurry,

like it had been passed through too many machines. But the words

were clear.

I read them slowly.

“The royal family of Aeloria was massacred by unknown forces. The queen–pregnant with a rogue’s child–was last seen fleeing the

burning castle. Her body was later discovered, lifeless, deep in the

forest. The child was never found.”

I stared at the screen. My heart made a loud thump in my chest.

Pregnant?

The queen was pregnant?

And with a rogue’s child?

I read it again. And again. Each time, something heavy pressed on my

chest a little more.

She ran. She tried to escape. But she didn’t make it. They found her

body in the forest. But not the baby.

The baby was gone.

My fingers shook slightly as I scrolled to the next part. The file wasn’t

long, but it felt like the words had weight. Like they could crush me if

I let them.

“Some believe the rogue father came from an exiled faction once

branded as-”

The screen blinked.

Then-

BOOM!

The sound cracked through the room like thunder.

I jumped out of the chair, heart racing.

Chapter 34

Smoke.

It burst from the vents like a wave. Thick. White. Sharp. It clawed into

my nose and throat. I coughed and stumbled backward, nearly falling

over.

The screen turned red. An alarm started beeping, but it sounded far

away. My ears were ringing.

I covered my mouth with my sleeve and squinted through the smoke.

My eyes burned. My lungs screamed.

The door slammed open.

Dark shapes moved through the smoke–fast and armed.

No.

It wasn’t Mark.

It wasn’t the masked man.

It was someone else.
