My legs moved two steps backward. My hand shot up to cover my lips. However, a smirk was hidden there.I wasn't surprised, but rather proud that my hunch that I vaguely believed in my heart turned out to be correct.Anyone would have guessed it easily. Rather than assuming that the real culprit was another pack, it made more sense that it was Alpha Rogue. I was sure coupled with Thalia's statement, that it could be declared a truth. Well, although I still can't guess and know who Alpha Rogue's accomplices are hiding in the Celestial Dawn pack."You're smiling?" growled Thalia with her hands clenched tightly."Yeah, I'm smiling because I'm happy. My guess was right and I've prepared some plans in my brain for that. Then why am I feeling sad?"I walked closer to Thalia. "Aren't you the one who was banished by your leader who should feel sad? How desperate are you to reveal the secret you've been trying to keep?""You... shouldn't be acting like this! You're a compassionate person! I kno
The rustling of the packaging that encased the flower's beauty could be heard as soon as it met a hard surface. The flowers shone beautifully, in stark contrast to their surroundings. It was as if they were trying hard to hide the sadness behind the headstones.For a moment, Alpha Kings and I closed our eyes to pray in our hearts. A prayer that was just a series of good words that hoped for the ease of the owners of these gravestones in the other world. After a while, we opened our eyes and immediately gathered ourselves together."Were they fine when they met the Moon Goddess there? I hope the great Moon Goddess did not misunderstand their actions and consider it an act of suicide. It was an act that they did automatically once their host died." I rubbed my face roughly as Zacharias channeled energy through his embrace."Don't feel bad. We weren't there at the time, so we couldn't save them. This was a plan devised long ago by that cunning woman," Zephyr explained."Their deaths are
"Luna, aren't you heading straight for the castle's main entrance to welcome guests?"I turned my head in a broken motion to stare at the interlocutor. Adam's pitiful face, with its black baggy eyes and pale, slightly parted lips, did not surprise me. Instead, I felt sorry for him who had also been dragged into my busy life.One day had passed since the day of Thalia's punishment. The Alpha Kings and I returned to our routine, which was to complete all pending tasks. Thanks to that pile of tasks, in just one day my face resembled a corpse. Pale, tired, and lifeless."Yeah, of course, I'll do it." I tightly closed the document in my hand. "Look! I closed it right away."As soon as I rose to my feet, my eyes became blurry for a moment until I gripped the head of the chair for support. It was obvious that this was because I had only slept for an hour last night in the office and once I woke up I went straight back to finish the tasks that were still piling up, without taking a break. Emp
"Should I open my heart to trust others?" I muttered as I stared at the two papers I was holding tightly. There was a clear identity of a person written on them. One sheet was from the Black Bangan Organization's investigation, and the other was from the Celestial Dawn pack's official investigation team.Of course, I trusted the results of the two teams' hard work, but I still had my doubts. I turned my head briefly after taking a deep breath. I gasped in surprise when I saw Adam glaring at me. The document in his hand slipped out and fell scattered on the floor. With quick movements, he came over to me."What do you mean, Luna? You need a secretary right now. If you delay, I'll have to make a formal complaint to the Alpha Kings. I really can't stay around you any longer. You are exploiting my energy and my mind." Adam turned his back to me with his arms folded across his chest.I laughed stiffly. "Hey, don't take it too seriously. I said that unconsciously because my mind was compli
"What is this all about? Is this true?" my fingers moved nimbly to turn the pages. With every turn of the page, my heart pumped faster and faster. My jaw hardened."We have submitted a copy of the document to the pack's detective team. We still don't know the veracity of the document. But their existence has been confirmed. The documents were given to us by the mother of the criminal servant." A man in uniform was bowing his head. Judging from his clothes, he was a member of the pack's detective team.I let out a long breath and brushed my hair back. If the detective team had acted, it meant that the beginning of this incident had passed quite a while ago."Is the mother of the criminal servant still in front of the castle?" I asked Adam. For a moment he looked at me with a gesture of refusal, but when a sharp gaze was directed at him, he immediately lowered his gaze and answered."Yeah, she's still in front of the castle."I was about to stand up, but the grip of Zephyr's hand stoppe
My back felt hot. That gaze became even sharper. Preparing my long, pointed fingernails, I turned around. Two knocks on the door sounded before finally revealing a very suspicious figure.An innocent smile until his cheeks puffed out. The presence of someone with such an innocent face instantly made my long nails return to their original size."Wayne?"He just smiled cheerfully before finally bowing respectfully to me and my husbands. "I, Wayne, am addressing the Alpha Kings and Luna."I walked over and flipped him over. "Since when have you been outside? And did you meet anyone else in the hallway?""I arrived a while ago, but I was feeling nervous so I just stood in front of the door for a long time. I apologize if I surprised Luna." Wayne bowed again."No, I didn't mean to scold you. Um... did you see anyone besides yourself in the hallway?"Wayne shook his head. "No, Luna. Is there someone you're waiting for?"I waved my hand in front of my face. "Forget about it. What business do
"Are you ready?"I raised my gaze to look at my husbands in turn. Nods were given and footsteps accompanied. The loud voice of a man standing guard in front of the twin doors made my heart skip a beat."Alpha Kings and Luna are entering the hall!"My vision brightened as an attack of sparkling light pierced mercilessly. Instead of feeling troubled by the light, I challenged myself by opening my eyes even wider. Wow, crazy. Just as I had imagined. Even during the preparations, it looked luxurious, let alone when the festival party was held. Very much in line with my expectations!"What's wrong? Why are you so happy? Are you happy to welcome people who are ready to pounce on you right now?"I didn't respond to Zacharias' teasing properly. I was just busy putting on a cute smile. Although the people he was referring to looked a little scary, one of the purposes of this festival was also to strengthen the relationships of the members of the Celestial Dawn pack, right?We descended the st
'Luna, please give me your answer.''Luna, I am at the western border. If you are worried about the festival, then there is no need to worry. I have tried to minimize the number of people who know of your aunt's presence here.'Adam's voice buzzing in my head still couldn't overpower the voices of the bad thoughts in my heart. My body was still in place, but my mind had drifted everywhere. My pupils were moving restlessly, even though I didn't know where the focus of my vision was."By...""Ruby...""Ruby!"The faint sound of a familiar voice slowly grew louder until a jolt to the shoulder woke me up. Suddenly I straightened my gaze and the voice of my husbands who kept calling me finally became clear."Ruby, wake up! We need to decide on a course of action immediately! We need to check on your aunt's condition immediately!" Zephyr snapped with a stern look. "It looks like your aunt is in bad shape, we need to move quickly," added Zacharias."Are you listening to us, Ruby?" asked Zai
