LUNA was sleeping peacefully that night after everything she had been through. But despite her body being at rest, her mind remained restless. Even her dream was unsettling.Luna…Again, that familiar voice echoed through her mind, pulling her into a void where the shadows danced with the light. The voice frequently visited Luna in her dreams now compared to before, and each time, it tugged her to an unknown truth.Come to me, Luna… the voice urged again. There was a lace of urgency in the tone.Luna’s eyes fluttered before they snapped open.Fearing that the vampires had taken her again, her eyes scanned the quiet room. Nothing was unusual except for the occasional creak of wood when the wind pressed against the house. She was still safe under Ross and Mama Eden’s roof.Luna…Her eyes widened upon hearing the voice again, now that she was awake. The voice faded at the back of her mind, yet it left her with chills. She knew there was something… Luna’s instinct wouldn’t fail her.Unabl

LUNA’S life was still in danger, but one thing was for sure. Those people or whatever creature they might be would keep her safe. That was what she heard from their conversation moments ago. She heaved a deep sigh and strolled to the window.She opened it a little, enough for the fresh air to pass through. Her thoughts seemed to be trapped inside a labyrinth. There was no certainty of what would happen next. All she knew was that she shouldn’t trust everyone so easily as she trusted that evil vampire lord Aleister. He tricked her, used her weakness, and lured her into his den to kill her. Luna didn’t know what she had done wrong until now. She just hoped that Ross and the others could give her an answer even to the simplest of her questions.She jerked when she heard consecutive knocks on the door. A few seconds later, the door opened, and the woman came in. His savior called her Mama Eden, so she presumed that the woman was his mother.“I was wondering if you’d gone to bed to get some

LUNA opened her eyes and found herself inside a cave. Her body still felt too weak, and for some reason… she couldn’t remember what happened. She didn’t even know how she got there. Did she get into an accident and hit her head, causing her to lose her memories? She hoped not. Her eyes wandered afterward. A bonfire was lit from afar, near the cave’s entrance, and from her spot she saw a few silhouettes of humans. Given their distance, their voices seemed to be muffled, so she couldn’t comprehend a single word they spoke. Luna tried to move and sat up slowly, propping her hands on the ground for support. But just when she was about to stand up, something caught her attention. Something jaw-dropping that Luna almost forgot how to breathe. For a second, she saw humans… but they suddenly turned into wolves and ran away. Only one of them was left behind, the man who entered the cave. Panic immediately ran through her veins. What if he was a wolf as well? What if he suddenly f

LUNA opened her eyes and found herself in a place she had never expected. All those times, she thought she’d end up in hell once she was dead, but the place seemed almost like heaven. She slowly sat up and looked around. She was literally in the middle of nowhere—a place where the waves meet. There was no one there but her.And then suddenly, she heard a voice… speaking to her.Luna…Her eyes wandered, trying to find where the voice was coming from. But there was no sign of anyone.“Who are you?” she asked, puzzled. “Where am I?”Was she dead, or was she dreaming? Luna had many dreams about things she couldn’t explain. Most of the time, she’d forget about it once she woke up.Moments passed, and she didn’t get any response from the voice for a while. She plopped down on the sand and bit her lower lip as she tried to suppress her cries. However, she failed to stop her tears from falling.“Maybe I’m dead… for real.”The vampires from the ball must’ve sucked all her blood, killing her.A

LUNA’s vision was hazy, and the overwhelming heat enveloping her body was starting to make her feel crazy. She never felt such kind of feeling before. Was it the feeling people feel before death? If yes, maybe she was dying in the hands of Lord Aleister and the rest of his clan. Ah, it was such a bitter ending for Luna. She didn’t even get to know who her real parents were. She didn’t get to live her life to the fullest. “Do it, Aleister!” one woman from the crowd screamed. “Kill her now before she kills us all!” The crowd agreed in unison, cheering for the lord to kill her fast. Luna closed her eyes as she felt the pain and heat that continued to consume her. There was no way she could escape her tragic fate now. She was too weak to even move an inch. The only thing she could do was to accept her fate. What a lonely fate, she thought. She didn’t even get to know who her real parents were. If only Luna could turn back time, she wouldn’t make that mistake of trusting Lord Aleister.

LUNA took a deep breath before the big oak doors swung open in front of her. A crowd, all wearing sophisticated black suits and gowns, greeted her, lined to the left and right, creating an aisle for her. At the end of the line stood her father, Lord Aleister, and to his right was his butler, Seifi, whispering something to his ear.She didn’t know why, but at that very moment, her body felt cold. All the guests’ gazes were on her, and they looked at her like she was their prey. Luna was suddenly reminded of her dreams about those pale-cold creatures who wanted to devour her.She shook her head hard afterward. Those thoughts were nothing but a dream. It wasn’t the right time to be reminded of that dream when she was about to celebrate an important occasion with her father.Lord Aleister held out his hand and beckoned her to walk the aisle. And so, she did. Her heart was pounding hard against her chest when she reached the front.Seifi held her hand and ushered her to the stage that seeme

JAN checked in at the same hotel where his brother was staying. He emptied the envelope the moment they got it and looked at its content one by one. He caressed his chin and looked at her afterwards. “When did you get all of these, Katherine?” “Steel delivered them to me before your dad died. I… I decided to keep it hidden at my family’s ancestral house in the meantime.” “And are you carrying them now? Are you going to give them to my brother?” “No…” Kate shook her head and clasped her hands. “Winona called me. She told me there’s a possibility that you’ll come here to see your brother. And she was right… I have it with me because… I want to show it to you in front of your brother and—” “You don’t have to do that, Katherine.” Jan rose from his seat and sauntered towards her. he held her by the arms and looked at her straight in the eyes. “What’s between Fernan and me will remain between us. I don’t want you to involve yourself with that. Do yo

KATE was biting her nail anxiously as she paced back and forth in the living room.“Dear, could you please stop doing that? I’m starting to get dizzy seeing you pacing like that,” Nana Talia told her and sighed. She even lightly hit her leg with her cane.“I can’t help it, Nana… I’m worried why Angelique and Mom still haven’t arrived here at this hour!” She was almost hysterical when she said that. “Their plane landed at ten this morning. It was already two in the afternoon!”“Then why don’t you call Madam Martina and ask her where they are now instead of worrying here?” Her nanny leaned against her seat and massaged her forehead. “You’re not just making my head dizzy. Now it throbs.”“Right.” Kate fished her phone frantically from her pocket and called Jan’s mother.The other line kept ringing until she heard the operator say th

KATE was cooking fried rice in the kitchen when her nanny came in from the backdoor. She was followed by the cook, who carried the freshly picked crops from the vegetable garden.The cook rushed to her immediately. “Madam, you should’ve—”“No, it’s alright.” She flashed a smile and continued mixing the fried rice in the wok.Her nanny went beside her and nudged her to the side.“Your aura’s looking exceptionally happy today, dear. Did something good happen?” asked Nana Talia.“Well…” Kate turned off the stove. “Jan finally came out of the guestroom, and he requested some fried rice for breakfast, so I cooked for him.”“Oh!” Her nanny’s eyes glowed. “You did it, Kate! It worked!” Nana Talia tapped her back. “Well done, dear.”“Thank you, Nana.”She poured the fried rice into a bowl and

JAN’s mother decided to hold a one-day funeral for his father. After that, he was taken to his final resting place. Fernan did not show up, and Kate only heard from Winona that he had been locking himself inside his hotel suite and would not talk to anyone. She knew what he did was wrong, but then… she could not help but worry about him. Fernan’s situation was not easy, and there was a possibility that his mental state was at stake. She wanted to check on him, but a lot of reasons were holding her back. In the end, Kate decided not to see him and just wait until their paths crossed again. And as for her husband, Jan was another problem. He had been locking himself inside the guestroom. He has barely eaten a decent meal since his dad died and only filled his stomach with different liquors his hand would have a hold. The Villamar brother’s coping mechanism was too far from their mother’s. After her husband’s funeral, Madam Martina went on a vacatio

KATE was at the venue of their company’s commercial shoot that day. She left her phone in the car and eventually forgot to get it, for she was too occupied with supervising the shoot.“Is it alright if we retake that one? I think it will look better if we take the shot from the left angle. What do you think?” she told the director.“Oh, Katherine! You do have a good eye!” the director said after taking another look at the video they shot. “Let’s roll another take of this one.”The director immediately prepared for another shoot.She sat on a bench as she waited for the shoot to happen. That was when her secretary came to her, rushing.“Is there something wrong?” Bianca handed her her phone. “A call from your in-laws’ residence, Ma’am. It’s urgent.”“Hello…” Kate said nervously. Could it be that something happened to her husband again?

KATE hid the file folder in her family’s ancestral home before going to Jan’s parents’ place. She had to hide it somewhere far from everyone who must not see it in the meantime. She must keep the secret until the right opportunity to tell everyone comes. His family had been through a lot lately; she did not have the heart to add another problem.She dipped herself in the bathtub while enjoying a bottle of champagne, hoping that it would relax her mind and body. It was her only escape since she could not go somewhere far away to unwind.“This is one of the things that I miss about you.”Her gaze reverted to the door when she heard Jan’s voice. She found him leaning against the doorframe. His eyes were glistening with admiration as though she was the most beautiful woman in the world.“If you’re going to join me for a bath, please turn off the light.” She took a huge gulp of champagne.“And
