The Luna Is Gone (Diana and Nathan) by Angelique Quinn novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113 

Diana’s pov 

Avia’s expression was momentarily brilliant, but she remained more composed than 

Kate. 

“Even if the dress you’re wearing is authentic, it doesn’t change the fact that you wore a fake ‘Ocean Heart‘ centerpiece!” Avia asserted. 

Kate quickly caught on. “Yes! Avia is right! You should still be arrested!” 

Mrs. Wayne had joined the scene, her face stern as she addressed Nathan. “Although 

Diana has a special status, this is still our Dark Moon Pack, and it’s your engagement banquet. Diana openly provoking your fiancée by wearing a fake item gives us grounds to apprehend her. Even Alpha Marc shouldn’t interfere. Nathan, time has been wasted enough; this farce should end!” 

Nathan furrowed his brow slightly but remained silent. His long, thick eyelashes concealed his eyes, leaving me unable to discern his emotions or thoughts. I suspected he was weighing the pros and cons–deciding whether exposing the situation with Alpha Marc was worth it to maintain the Pack’s reputation. I couldn’t think of any other reason that would convince him. 

As Mrs. Wayne saw Nathan’s indecision, she gave a direct order, “Someone! Seize Diana, this wretched woman!‘ 

Marc, no longer indifferent, was about to step forward to shield me when a graceful figure preemptively embraced me. 

“None of you are allowed to touch Diana!” 

Nora’s sharp voice echoed through the venue, driving back those who intended to approach me. She turned, looking at me nervously, her eyes filled with concern. “Diana, are you okay?” 

“I’m fine,” I reassured Nora, gripping her in return. “Why did you come back? I told you to rest at the hotel. You shouldn’t be here- 

“Forget about me for now.” Nora’s tone was serious. “Do you have any idea how worried I was when you didn’t respond to my messages? I’m glad I came back; otherwise, who knows how much these idiots would have harassed you!” 

Nora’s anger grew with her words. I sighed silently. Nora’s care often led to chaos. She didn’t consider that with Marc and April present, I wouldn’t truly be bullied. “I’m really fine.” I comforted Nora. “But what about you? Is the rash on your neck. gone?” 

“I’m fine too.” Nora insisted. “Just wait; I’ll teach these idiots a lesson!” 

I couldn’t even stop her; Nora marched onto the red carpet, hands on her hips, glaring at Mrs. Wayne. 

“Who’s trying to seize our Diana?” 

“It’s me! What’s the matter?” Mrs. Wayne raised her head. 

“It’s you! Just you!” Nora snorted several times, disdainfully surveying Mrs. Wayne. 

“Who the hell are you?” 

“Mrs. Wayne, Alpha Nathan’s mother,” someone reminded her. 

“Oh, so you’re Mrs. Wayne!” Nora acted as if she had just figured it out. 

Mrs. Wayne stretched her neck even longer. 

“Now that you know my identity, quickly step aside and don’t delay me— 

“Shut up!” Nora didn’t give Mrs. Wayne a chance to continue. “Let me tell you, I’ve disliked you for a long time! It’s you, Mrs. Wayne, who bullied my Diana for two whole years, treating her like a slave, isn’t it!” 

Knowing something is one thing; saying it out loud is another. For example, during the two years of my marriage to Nathan, anyone in the Dark Moon Pack, from Mrs. Wayne to any random maid, could boss me around and mistreat me. Others knew, but they wouldn’t admit it. Sycophants would pretend not to see, or worse, join in. 

However, when Nora laid bare these facts, openly discussing them, the implications were different. Mrs. Wayne instinctively couldn’t face it, her face turning red, and her gaze avoiding everyone. 

She couldn’t admit in front of everyone that she had maliciously mistreated me. So, predictably, she denied it. 

“When did I bully her?” 

“You dare deny it when you dared to do it!” Nora sneered. 

Mrs. Wayne’s chest heaved dramatically as she maintained her composure. “When Diana married Nathan, she was a girl without status, position, or wealth. She was useless to the Pack. Making her do more work, isn’t that reasonable? We can’t let her freeload in the Pack, can we?” 

“Freedload? Are you kidding me? It was you and Alpha Nathan who didn’t allow Diana to exercise her Luna rights. Now you accuse her of being useless to the Pack. Aren’t you ashamed? Furthermore, without Diana as a mate, could your son, Alpha Nathan, reach the pinnacle of his strength, lead Dark Moon Pack to continuous victories, and become the strongest Pack?” 

The presence of a mate can effectively boost a partner’s mental strength, stabilizing their emotions–something Wayne couldn’t deny no matter how she spoke. 

Knowing she was in the wrong, Mrs. Wayne shamelessly changed the topic. 

“We are currently dealing with Diana provocatively wearing fake items to attend the engagement banquet, challenging Avia. What does dragging those things into it accomplish?” 

“Provocation? Fake items?” Nora rolled her eyes. “Is Diana crazy? Why would she provoke Avia? Because Avia took her unwanted man?” 

“What are you saying?” Mrs. Wayne angrily shouted. “Who is the man Diana doesn’t want?” 

“Do I have to repeat it? It’s your son, Alpha Nathan! Let me tell you, even if Alpha Nathan kneels down and begs Diana to remarry him, she won’t agree! High–quality men chasing after Diana are endless. Do you really think your son is some precious 

gem? Women around the world are fighting over him, even getting jealous of him… Are you dreaming?” 

“You! You! You…‘ 

Mrs. Wayne was too angry to continue. Worried Nora would say more, she whispered to Nora, “That’s enough.” 

“I’m cool, right?” Nora mischievously raised her eyebrows at me. 

I gave her a thumbs up. Indeed, she was cool, but also genuinely dangerous. 

Nora probably chose to ignore Nathan, so she didn’t notice Nathan’s amber eyes swiftly darkening and deepening in response to her bold remarks. Yet, even if Nathan were truly angered by Nora’s words, I wasn’t afraid. 

With me around, I won’t let anyone harm a hair on Nora’s head. 

Meanwhile, Avia supported Mrs. Wayne, placing her hand on Mrs. Wayne’s chest to help her calm down. 

“Mom, don’t get angry. It’s not worth jeopardizing your health for them,” Avia said. Then, she turned her gaze toward me and complained, “Diana, are you just letting your friend insult Mrs. Wayne? Mrs. Wayne is Nathan’s mother! You might not respect me, but do you disrespect both Nathan and his mother?”
