The Luna Is Gone by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 106 “You dare? | am Alpha Nathan's fiancée!” Avia’s fierce gaze scanned the surroundings.

Upon hearing the nAlpha Nathan, the bodyguards hesitated, reluctant to continue their actions.

April cleared her throat, “If there's a problem, I'll take responsibility. For now, you just need to follow Luna's orders.” The bodyguards no longer hesitated, forcibly attempting to escort Avia out of the restaurant.

Avia finally realized that her Luna status in the Blade Moon Pack didn’t carry much weight, and she stopped struggling and shouting.

“Don’t touch me, | can walk by myself!” She coldly rebuked, then turned to me, “Diana, just wait and see. On the day of the engagement banquet, | will wear more precious jewelry than Nora's design. | believe you've heard of the brand ‘Ocean Heart.’ Its position in the jewelry industry is beyond what a small designer can compare with! At that time, | will shine with the flagship treasure of ‘Ocean Heart,’ and everyone's attention will be on me!” After saying this, Avia snorted and left the restaurant with her maid.

April immediately rolled her eyes, waving at me, “Don’t let her ruin our good mood for dinner.

| agreed wholeheartedly, continuing to dine as if nothing had happened.

A few seconds later, April abruptly stopped all movements, lifting her head in surprise.

“Ocean Heart?” She seemed to just realize, “Diana, if | remember correctly, the founder of ‘Ocean Heart’ is Jennifer!” ‘Ocean Heart’ is a globally renowned super-jewelry brand.

If it dares to claim second place, no other brand dares to claim first.

Its chief jewelry designer, “Crystal,” is a titan in the jewelry design industry.

The works she designs are priceless.

Little does anyone know, the mysterious designer Crystal, whom countless people yearn to see, is actually the former Luna of the Blade Moon Pack, my mother, Jennifer.

And Nora is, in fact, a student of my mother.

That's why Nora always likes to be with me- She admires my mother, thus extending that admiration to me.

“Yeah,” | nodded, “After my mother’s death, I've been managing ‘Ocean Heart.” “So, if Avia claims she can get ‘Ocean Heart’ jewelry, is...” “She’s dreaming.” | scoffed, “Someone like her isn’t worthy of wearing my mother’s designs.” “You're right...” Probably recalling Avia’s words and actions just now, April made a disdainful sound.

After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked atmeaningfully.

“Diana, | have a suggestion.” “What?” “Imagine this if Avia desperately wants to get her hands on the flagship treasure of ‘Ocean Heart’ she mentioned-the Crystal Golden Crown how do you think she’ll react when she sees it on you? | bet her expression will be very amusing.” April licked her lips, looking like a mischievous little devil.

| sighed, reluctantly saying, “Forget it, | don’t want to bother with Avia...‘ “How can you forget? Just the thought of Avia’s arrogance earlier makesso angry! | don’t care; even if it’s for me, you must settle this score.” “April...” “Oh, my stomach hurts...” April started clutching her stomach and groaning, occasionally stealing glances atto observe my reaction.

| could only pick up my phone and called the manager temporarily handling ‘Ocean Heart," instructing him to deliver the flagship treasure to my villa.

As soon as the call ended, April sat up straight, eating from her plate as if nothing had happened, showing no signs of discomfort.

Avia’s POV “Bitch! Damn bitch!” | was so angry that my lungs felt like they were about to explode; | had to release the overwhelming rage by shouting.

Diana... How dare she conspire with that hateful designer to play tricks on me? Why hasn't Diana died yet? Why did all the people | sent to assassinate her fail? The racetrack, the garage... why did she manage to escape every time? Why! “Ah ah ah!” | couldn’t control my roar.

“Luna...” My maid followed behind me, cautiously calling me.

| turned around, and she flinched her neck suddenly.

Her reaction madeeven more furious.

“Am | such a terrifying monster? Will I kill you? Who are you showing this timid appearance to?” | sternly scolded, gripping the maid's ear tightly.

She screamed in pain, begging for mercy continuously.

“I was wrong... | was wrong, Luna, please spare me... please, | beg you...” | disdainfully let go of her ear, glaring at her, “What are you callingfor?” “That...” The maid assessed my expression timidly and asked, “Do we really have to buy the flagship treasure of ‘Ocean Heart?” “Nonsense! Do you think I'm just bragging in front of that bitch Diana?” My maid is truly an irritating fool.

“But... but all our money was used to buy the diamond necklace, and now there's no money in the account.” | was stunned, my whole body stiff.

Damn! It’s all because of that bitch Diana; if it weren't to surpass her, | wouldn't have impulsively spent three billion on a useless diamond necklace! However, even with these three billion, it's not enough forto buy the flagship treasure of ‘Ocean Heart.’ | need to think of another way.

“Or, we tell Alpha...” “No! Absolutely not!” Without thinking, | rejected the maid's suggestion, “Absolutely can’t let Nathan know about this.” I've worked hard to make Nathan's heart lean towardsagain; | can’t let him know anything that might tarnish my image.

My brain spun rapidly, and suddenly, a figure appeared in my mind.

“You go back first.” | told the maid, “I'll figure out the money issue myself.” “But...” “Don’t you understand what I'm saying? Those commoners from the Blade Moon Pack don’t respect me, and now you don’t respecteither?” “No... no no no!” The maid shook her head frantically, “I absolutely didn’t mean that. I'll leave now, right now.” The maid turned to leave.

“Wait a minute.” | stopped her, “Giveyour phone.” The maid didn’t dare hesitate, quickly taking out her phone from her pocket and handing it to me. Then she hurriedly left my sight, crawling away.

| picked up the phone, entered a number | knew by heart, and made the call.

“The usual place, | want to see you.” An hour and a half later, in a mysterious hotel far from the city, | met the person | wanted to see.

A man stood by the window with his back to me, holding a cigar.

“I thought you wouldn't meetalone again,” his dangerous voice entered my ears, “After all, you're engaged to Nathan.” | gritted my teeth and, with determination, stated my purpose.

“I need money.” A mocking laugh echoed, and the man finally turned around. Omar Paradis, Nathan's Beta, looked atwith disdain.

“You're askingfor money? How much do you want?” “Ten billion,” | whispered.

In reality, the flagship treasure of ‘Ocean Heart’ was worth more than a hundred billion, something | couldn't afford. But ‘ten billion‘ should cover a day's lease, “Ten billion?” Omar squinted, “That’s not a small amount. Why do you think I'd give it to you?” “Because you love me!” | declared firmly.

My hand touched Omar's neck. | knew there was an invisible chain there, under my control. Omar gazed at me, wanting to kiss me, but suddenly, he pushedaway.

“I love you! You know | love you, but you're marrying Nathan! You're just using me, deceiving me!” “So what?” | looked at Omar and, once again, touched his neck. But this time, my sharp nails pierced his skin.

A drop of blood traced down his neck. | smiled, asking, “Are you willing to refuse me? Even if you are, do you dare? Don’t forget, for me, you've betrayed your Alpha more than once! Wantto help you recall?” Omar trembled abruptly.

“Diana’s garage incident, where she almost got killed, you found the people under my command! The staged rape scenawas also designed by you and me! And... the recent video proving that Diana sent someone to rape me, after you modified it with face-swapping technology, and handed it to Nathan!” “Stop!” Omar roared with bloodshot eyes, gasping heavily, seemingly unwilling to face those past events.

I chuckled.

“Omar, you can’t refuse me. From the moment you fell in love withbehind Nathan's back, you've been tied to me. If I'm fine, you're fine. If I'm doomed, you're doomed with me. So... continue to love me, fulfill my demands, makehappy, makehappy, okay?” “What about me?” Omar turned to look at me, “Will you care about me?” | fell silent, feeling waves of disgust and annoyance.

I only love Nathan. Omar is just a lowly Beta; how dare he think | would care about him? Omar seemed to understand my gaze, smiled sadly, and then his expression suddenly becfierce.

He grabbed my wrist, tightened his grip, and said viciously, “Why would I fall in love with a woman like you?” He seemed to be asking me, but it was as if he was asking himself.

But it didn't matter.

| smiled and said, “You've already fallen in love.” Veins bulged on Omar's forehead.

He sneered, “Fine, Avia, go ahead and exhaust my love for you. Let’s look forward to who will be the loser first.” I only love Nathan Omar is just a lowly Beta; how dare he think | would care about him? Omar seemed to understand my gaze, smiled sadly, and then his expression suddenly becfierce.

He sneered, “Fine, Avia, go ahead and exhaust my love for you. Let’s look forward to who will be the loser first.” He pressed ny shoulders, forcingto kneel on the ground, beneath him.

“Don’t you want ten billion? I'll give it to you. Lick me, just like you used to begevery time, pleasinglike a whore underneath me, my... mate!” In the evening, Omar left the hotel.

And my bank account now had an extra ten billion.

Mission accomplished, | felt extremely relaxed.

| eagerly called the hotline ‘Ocean Heart,’ proposing my request to lease their flagship treasure for a day.

“... | can pay ten billion dollars, | don’t think you'd refuse my offer, right? I-” “Sorry, miss.” A cold voice from the receptionist on the other end interrupted, “Our flagship treasure was bought by a collector this noon.” “What did you say?” | gripped the phone in disbelief, “How could it be bought? Your flagship treasure is worth over a hundred billion! Who could afford it? You...” “Sorry, we can't disclose that.” “And who is the buyer?” | asked.

“Sorry, we can't say that either.” The receptionist hung up.

“Ah ah ah!” | screamed in frustration, barely restraining myself from throwing the phone.

Calm down, | must calm down! | swallowed hard, hands shaking as | dialed another number.

“Investigate!” | roared, “I want to know who bought the flagship treasure of ‘Ocean Heart this noon.” Twenty minutes later, the person on the other end returned my call.

“Sorry, miss, we couldn't find the specific buyer of ‘Ocean Heart's’ flagship ine receptionist nung up.

“Ah ah ah!” | screamed in frustration, barely restraining myself from throwing the phone.

Calm down, | must calm down! | swallowed hard, hands shaking as | dialed another number.

“Investigate!” | roared, “I want to know who bought the flagship treasure of ‘Ocean Heart this noon.” Twenty minutes later, the person on the other end returned my call.

“Sorry, miss, we couldn't find the specific buyer of ‘Ocean Heart's’ flagship treasure, but based on nearby surveillance, an eighty-year-old entrepreneur from Crimson Claw Pack visited ‘Ocean Heart’ today, and we speculate that he bought the flagship treasure.” Crimson Claw Pack? “What about that old entrepreneur?” | inquired.

“He’s already boarded a plane back to their Pack.” I remained silent for a moment.

My tense heart finally relaxed.

Crimson Claw Pack was far from Blade Moon Pack and Dark Moon Pack, with little communication between Packs.

Perhaps... | could forge ‘Ocean Heart's’ flagship treasure.

After all, the old entrepreneur had left, and no one would expose me.

As for ‘Ocean Heart,’ to maintain its mystique, they refused all invitations. Thus, there was no chance they’d find out | wore a fake flagship treasure.

Thinking this, | said to the person on the other end of the line, “Helpcontact the best counterfeit jewelry master in the black market.”
