The Alpha's Cursed Luna
Synopsis: Amara hid her beauty since she was young. Her mother told her that her beauty might become her ruin, therefore she wore a mask and hid the scar that her mother had given her.

But her fantasy was mercilessly broken after her lover sold her to an old nobleman for a pouch of gold coins. She then met Azer, a man working at a bakery. Azer, who strikes her as a mysterious guy who suddenly appeared and invaded her broken heart which she swore to never let be swayed by another again, kept pouring her attention and kindness. Can Amara trust a man again? Or will she forever cage her heart on the walls she built herself? But what happens if, along the way of treasuring her newfound love, she learns that the scar she bears isn't just a simple scar, but a mark of a curse? As she gathers and unfolds the hidden and lost memories of her childhood, slowly, her identity is revealed. And so does the mystery surrounding Azer. --- This novel is the next series after the story of Kyden and Mona [Summoned by a Pretend Villainess].

35. The pain of rejection
Dionne pursed her lips tightly. She looked at Azer with determination, and then she answered, "The queen forbade me to leave the palace. I was one of the accused, so I never really thought that leaving would be possible.
"But the other suspects, once free from suspicions, were sent back. At the same time, I didn't get to go back home. I was trapped here. My family will be worried if they don't hear from me."
"So, you tried to escape?" Azer asked in disbelief. "You do know that by doing so, you're disobeying the orders of Queen Adelaide, don't you?"
"I just wanted to meet my family."
"You could have asked the queen."
"How dare I ask for Her Majesty's presence? I, a mere maid?"
Azer's brow twitched in question. Did he just hear a tinge of sarcasm from her? Does she hate the royalty that much? Or does she simply hate talking with him?
