“Not personally, but I know their story. I know things. They just come to me. Don’t ask how as I don’t know.” She explained, which made him raise an eyebrow. He couldn’t understand something unexplainable.
“What? They just appear in your mind? You suddenly just know something?”
“Yes. It’s like that.” Luna moved to her left and reached for a door knob.
“This is my room. Come in.” She happily presented the room to him and he entered first.
Once again, he was surprised upon entering. It’s a majestic room, fit for a royal.
“I thought the palace was ransacked when the last werewolf king died? How is this room intact?”
She gazed at him with intensity, making him a little uncomfortable. She might have seen people and places in her visions and dreams, but to personally see someone in the flesh… it was an excitingly wonderful experience for her.

Alex turned to the young man and eyed the table, “Are you done?” “Yes, I’ll excuse myself.” Carl hurriedly left the room, giving them privacy. “Did you have plenty of rest?” Luna slowly approached him. Her gaze is still a little unsettling, but he managed. “I did. The meals have been prepared?” “Hmm… I only grilled the meat. The rest are made by your companion.” She gestured towards the table. “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?” She asked while taking a seat. “I want to speak with you.” He closed the door and sat on the long bench opposite her. “I see. What do you want to talk about?” She slightly narrowed her eyes on him. Just like Carl, Alex was startled when he found a silver wolf next to him, sniffing his leg. Luna chuckled at his reaction. Alex frowned while looking at the wolf. “This isn’t Akira, is he?” He squinted, making sure the wolf was really different. “This one’s Killian. Akira might be roaming the surrounding forest. He likes playing with the rabbits.” She d
Alex sighed, trying to tamp down his curiosity and impatience. He’s not used to having a source of information but being unable to demand them. They moved from one area to another as they continued to chat. Luna felt comforted by his presence and she got this warm feeling inside her.Along the way, Akira joined them and Alex focused on the two wolves accompanying them.“Who’s the leader?” His guess was Akira but the woman shook her head, seemingly knowing his thoughts.“Killian. He’s also my guard. Akira is more drawn to you. He’s going to keep you company and protect you.”His lip twitched upon hearing her answer.“I don’t need protection. I can protect myself.”“Of course. You can just treat him as a pet.” Luna laughed when the wolf in question lowly growled in complaint and glared at Alex. He’s not going to be treated as a pet. He has a reputation to live up to.“Are they really gifts from the goddess?” He couldn’t help asking, though he’s unsure whether she would give an actual an
In the morning, Alex woke up early and went to her room. He knocked and called, but still no response. When he touched the door knob and tried it, he managed to open the door. There was a moment of elation, which quickly became a concern. “Luna?” He’s still not comfortable calling her name, as it reminds him of his mother, the current Luna of their pack. He looked around inside the room but she’s nowhere to be seen. Where could she be? “Luna?” He tried calling her again, but he already expected nothing. Akira. The wolf followed him and as he turned, he saw him. “You know where she is, don’t you?” For some reason, he couldn’t pinpoint her presence within his surroundings. It was an odd feeling. How is she doing it? His lip twitched when he interpreted Akira’s response as shrugging. The wolf isn’t going to help him, huh? “Come on, I know I was wrong. I need to apologize to her. Won’t you help me?” If this was before, he wouldn’t believe he would soon converse with an actual wolf a
She’s not so bad. Maybe he’ll come to like her. She’s not hateful. And she’s ethereally beautiful. There is that. His men already think he’s a lucky bastard to have her as a mate.She lied, but she admitted it soon after. Is she or is she not lying about everything else? She’s too mysterious to be a complete liar, though. And those silver wolves are mythical and legendary. A descendant of the goddess, huh?Alex tried to unravel every information he has gotten since the wolves’ appearance on his birthday. The timing couldn’t be coincidental, but why his thirtieth birthday, though? What significance does it hold? Mates are normally revealed at eighteenth. Is it because she’s different? A descendant of the goddess. He kept coming back to that.Given the circumstances surrounding her, it doesn’t sound far-fetched, to be honest. Silver wolves. Her own silvery aura. Unknown knowledge only she possesses. This palace and the curse of being trapped here. Of course, he has no way to verify that
When the knob rattled, Alex quickly got up and stood on the side of the door. He saw how her eyes widened and heard her gasp of surprise. He saw how her hand seemed to be pushing the door closed again, so he stuck a foot to prevent that from happening. Luna saw him making that step and she felt even more embarrassed. She did think of slamming the door shut again. She’s not ready to face him yet. She didn’t want him to see her cry again so she decidedly kept her head down, not daring to look at his face. Alex thought he should properly use this chance. “Luna, I’m sorry. I apologize for hurting you. I didn’t mean what I said. Will you forgive me?” She tried to speak, opening her mouth, but no words came out. What is she to say? It’s fine, I forgive you? Should she make it easy for him? How are you supposed to deal with this situation? She has zero experience interacting with people. Her visions are no help. Her knowledge didn’t prepare her for first-hand experience. Her wisdom isn’t th
Didn’t they just make up? She was surprised when he reached out a hand and touched her jaw. Her gaze was questioning. What is he on about?She almost gasped when he bent down and covered her lips with his. It was just a peck, though. It only lasted a couple of seconds. But it was enough. It made her really happy. She looked really silly, eliciting a chuckle from him.He saw the moment her eyes twinkled silver before returning to their normal brown hue. It seemed magical and served as an unconventional experience for him.“Do you like me? We don’t know each other yet. Do you know a lot of things about me already?”“Of course. You’re my mate and you seem like a good person. I do know certain things about you, but they’re not personal. I don’t know what you’re thinking or what you’re feeling. I want to know those things.”He lightly caressed the side of her face. “I don’t think it would be difficult to like you.”“Aren’t you wary of me? Because of the things I know, don’t you find me cre
He didn’t get enough sleep but he still got up early. His men in charge of breakfast woke up around the same time as he did. Alex washed up, changed his clothes and went to see Luna. It would be best to get their things packed in the vehicles so they can leave immediately after the meal. They have a long journey ahead of them.Luna was already dressed when he knocked on her door and she grinned as she skipped towards it. Her excitement was evident. She would finally be leaving this place! Inside her, though, she still felt nervous. Nothing would go wrong, right? She can leave with him, yes?“Where’s your pack? Let’s put them in the vehicle.” He stepped inside her room to retrieve what they packed last night.“Is this all?” He didn’t insist that she packs most of her things. If she needed anything, they can provide it to her at Snow Mountain.“Yes.”“Let’s go, then.” He le
“That was quick. They know how to make decisions, huh?” Carl noted with a smile.“We should get going, too. Let’s go.” Alex commanded and they all boarded their respective vehicles. He assisted Luna into getting in and comfortably sitting on the bench. He sat next to her before his gaze snapped to the guy on her other side.The man rolled his eyes. “I think the two of you should switch seats if you don’t want me next to her.”And so, they did. Luna actually liked being next to the window. She can see outside and enjoy the sceneries. It didn’t take long for them to overtake the silver wolves and Killian, riding at the back of their vehicle, let out a howl.“Did he say something?” The guy sitting next to Alex asked.“This is Alvin.” Alex was forced to introduce him to her.“Not really. He was just wishing them good luck.”“Don’t they ha
