Chapter 45 I quickly approached him in concern even though there were many people around his staff who were also worried about him. "W-What happened, Damon?!" I asked worriedly. I don't know where to look. Is it because of the blood on his head or his tired eyes? He smiled briefly at me. I can feel his tiredness."We fought some rogues. But we're fine," Damon answered quickly. I swallowed hard when a wolf medic pulled him out and took him to a room to be treated. I insisted to enter the room, but they won't let me. I could do nothing but wait outside.They encountered rogues. It means Jules was just near where they came from. Jules' group is now strong because the rogues have sided with him. And rogues are dangerous and brutal kinds of werewolves. I read that they have no heart. I read that they won't think twice to devour you. They can compare to wild animals who don't have consciousness about right and wrong.According to the books I read, they also have minds, but they are
Chapter 46Even though I tried to stop myself from being hurt, my heart still ached shamelessly at the possibilities that could happen to Damon. I woke up early the next day to visit Damon, but the doctor told me that Damon also left early with Stone to continue the search for Jules.I couldn't help but be annoyed and sullen with Damon. Doesn't he even care about his health? He's still injured because of what happened yesterday but then he doesn't have a second thought to rush in today? I know he's strong, he's great and powerful but even the powerful and strong creatures have their weakness. And I can't just stand and watch him being desperate for finding Jules.I know he has been hoping for a long time to get revenge on whoever killed his brother, but what if the prize of this all is his life instead? Isn't he afraid? I remember what we talked about yesterday. I asked him to promise me that he will prioritize his life over everything, but he cannot promise me. That's why I realized
Chapter 47I can't rest anymore while thinking about what I read earlier. I put the book back from hiding behind the portrait of Damon and me. I don't know what to do but one thing is for sure I need to go back to Neticia's room to find that pen holder again. I just hope it's still there.If only I had known in the beginning that it was the key to the missing page of Alpha Devon's book, I would have taken it as the pen holder long ago. I stopped walking when the bedroom door opened, and Anna walked in. She bowed her head a bit."Your lunch is ready, Luna," she said politely."Is Damon...back already?" I asked, hoping that Damon had returned. I still remember his head injury. I don't know how to help. I feel like I am so useless. I'm just here and there's nothing I can do but continue to worry about Damon."Not yet, Luna," Anna replied. I bit my lower lip and sighed heavily. I don't know what to feel anymore. I feel like Damon is going further and further away from me. It started when
Chapter 48The next day Damon did not leave the palace. Instead, he locked himself in his office with the two old men in the group of elders while the group of hunters with Stone began to trace Jules' scent.It seems that Damon's mind is now focused on finding the traitor because I know he thinks that they won't be able to find Jules as long as Jules has a connection inside the palace. Damon will fail if the enemy knows his every move, so he needs to find the traitor that Jules is referring to as soon as possible.While I was still looking for time to enter Neticia's room. There is only one thing I wonder about in Neticia's room. I know it's been a hundred years since Neticia and Alpha Devon died but Neticia's room remains alive inside the palace. I didn't want to think too much about it, but I couldn't help it.That's why while Anna and I were outside and walking in the flower garden behind the palace, I couldn't stop asking."I…saw Neticia's room," I began. I turned to Anna and saw
Chapter 49I went with Damon to rest that afternoon. I just sent our dinner to the room and Damon, and I ate together inside. We ate in silence. Maybe because we have the same deep thoughts. We're both occupied with something. I just wanted to end it all. I want Damon to be freed from the past. I want everything to be finished so I'll do everything just to get it done.I watched Damon fall asleep and when I saw that he was sound asleep I got up to do my plan. I breathed heavily. I know I can do it. I just need to sneak out and get away from the guard roaming around the palace. Neticia's room is quite close, so I know it's only a few minutes to walk.I slowly took the tray of what Damon, and I ate before opening the door. A guard guarding Damon and I's room quickly looked at me."Can you get this back from the kitchen?" I said handing the tray to him."I will, Luna. I will immediately send my replacement," he said before leaving. I watched the guard walk away and when I saw him turn to
Chapter 50I picked up the pen holder and stared at it for a long time. I can't believe I'm seeing it right now. I feel like this is the way I can help Damon. I feel close to the truth.I took a deep breath and quickly approached the door to leave but was stunned when I saw how the doorknob moved! Someone is coming inside! I trembled. I felt so nervous. Who is it?I looked around to find a place to hide and when I saw another door, I quickly opened it and hid there. And then right after I heard some footsteps outside, inside Neticia's room. I put my ear to the door where I was hiding to hear what was happening outside.Who is it? Who could be in this room at this hour? I bit my lower lip as my heart pounded so fast. I feel like I ran a marathon. My forehead and hands are already sweating. What if...this person who entered Neticia's room right now is the traitor that Damon wants to catch?I do not know what to do. Because surely if I come out here and show the person outside everything
Chapter 51 "To my beloved...little brother...Damon,"Starting from the first words, I feel like it's gnawing at the corner of my heart. The aches and pains are there. Maybe because I know that Alpha Devon's death was the reason why Damon's life was filled with darkness. I know that Alpha Devon is the most important person in Damon's life. Alpha Devon's death was bitter and painful for Damon.It was added that Neticia was saddened by the death of Alpha Devon. And the most painful thing is that Jules is responsible for everything. Someone they considered family, brother, and cousin. This is painful for Damon, and I know it is even more painful for Alpha Devon.I don't know what Neticia did then why Jules’s so angry with Damon and Alpha Devon. I don't know what the end of it all was, but I feel like...with this letter I will know everything about Alpha Devon's hidden past.I took a deep breath and stared at Alpha Devon's complicated handwriting. Just from his letter, it can be seen imme
Chapter 52I couldn't believe what I found out. It was a huge revelation for me, and I know it will have a huge impact on Damon. I didn't think that everything that was happening today was Alpha Devon's doing. I closed my eyes tightly when I felt a pain in my chest.I feel sorry for what Alpha Devon went through, but I also can't help but blame him for the bad things that are happening now. But I can't blame Alpha Devon for the decisions he made back then. I know how much he loves Damon but will Damon like this fact?I also can't believe that the traitor is Stone. I bit my lower lip as my eyes watered. Anna may not know anything about what Stone is doing because I can see the pain in Anna's eyes as she thinks about Stone slowly moving away from her. But Stone is doing this to avenge her.No matter what I think, I can't be angry with Stone because it's natural to accumulate anger for what Alpha Devon did, but it hurts so much to think that he is the traitor in this palace because of al
The Final Chapter: Epilogue"Alpha Damon!" I stopped when Anna called me. She knelt in front of me, sobbing, "T-Thank you for saving Stone's life—""I don't want to receive gratitude for it, Anna, because I still can't forgive him for what he did," I explained. She nodded.“I know...but I'm hoping for Athena's recovery soon," she said before I continued walking. I waited a few hours before the doctor came out. I hadn't even showered or gotten dressed when I saw the doctor come out of the room. He's a great doctor. He's a wolf who knows how to operate even a human body."Is she okay now?" I quickly stood up and approached the doctor. For some reason, I feel better while waiting for the doctor to say, "Luna Athena...has lost so much blood, Alpha..., so we need more of her blood, but for now, I've stopped her bleeding. For now, she's stable. But we should not be complacent," he said. Somehow, I feel better. I immediately ordered the staff to go to the human world to get Athena's blood ty
Part 1: EpilogueI used to think that being an Alpha king meant just sitting on your throne, taking care of your people, and thinking of ways that would help the kingdom flourish. But I was wrong. Being an Alpha king means so much more than that; it also includes sacrifices and pain. I questioned my older brother's decisions back then, but I forgot that he's also just like us. He may be a great leader, strong and brave, but he also has feelings. Apart from being the Alpha king of the kingdom, he is also a brother who loves his family.Being the Alpha king has never been easy. When I became the Alpha king, I finally understood Alpha Devon's feelings and hardships, especially when Athena came into my life. Having her is both a pain and happiness. Pain, because she became my weakness. She was my only weakness, not only physically but also emotionally. Everything about her is a source of weakness for me: her tears, her cries, her pains, her broken voice. I can't bear to see her hurt becau
Chapter 65Solitaire... I didn't know why Solidad named her Solitaire. Solitaire is not a bad name, but I don't like the meaning of it. Nevertheless, I need to focus on the things I need to do with Solidad and her daughter. I gritted my teeth as I watched Solidad beg in front of me. She was asking for forgiveness and more time with her daughter. “I can't bear to be separated from my daughter, Alpha Damon! I know what destiny she has and I will never hold her against you, so please...give me a few more years and I promised I will willingly give her to you when she turns eighteen,” Those were her words as she cried hard in front of me.I am not supposed to feel pity for her, but at that time I did. Maybe because every time I see her, my older brother's memories keep coming back to me. This is the woman my brother loved the most. My brother wouldn't like it if he saw her mate crying and begging for my mercy, so I let her go that day. "What's her name again?" I asked Solidad before Ston
Chapter 64It was declared to lift Solidad's punishment. Instead of death, it was agreed that the punishment would be being a slave in the palace for the rest of her life. But Delta Robin appealed because Solidad used to be a queen in the palace, and she doesn't deserve to be a slave in the palace. That's why it was changed again and she was only given the punishment that she was not allowed to set foot in the palace again. It was also agreed that when she gives birth, she will live in the forest of the Agama kingdom for the rest of her life. One day, my grandfather Brandon visited the palace. "I heard that you have now met your mate, Alpha Damon." I welcomed him into my office. The housekeepers served us wine, so this is what we are holding now. "I don't even want to think about it," I said. To this day, I still can't believe that Solidad's pregnancy could be what the Goddess of the Moon intended for me. What else I hate so much is what is happening now. It's like fate is playing w
Chapter 63I let Solidad into the human world where she came from before she met Alpha Devon. I know the loss of my brother is painful for her, and I can't blame her, for asking now to leave the place filled with memories of Alpha Devon. Even I couldn't forget my brother. No matter what I do, nightmares and conscience continue to haunt me. Because Alpha Devon died, I didn’t have the chance to talk to him properly. I regret that doubt led me then, so I didn't approach him immediately when I noticed his strange avoidance of me. I wish I had fixed the space between the two of us before he died.But it was too late. There was nothing I could do to repent because death had taken Alpha Devon forever and all I could do was correct what I thought were his mistakes. Surely, if he were alive today, he would ask for the same thing from me. That's why in recent times and years I have continued the investigation. But when the councilors and elders found out about it, they immediately told me to
Chapter 62I couldn't accept everything I heard. I never thought Alpha Devon would choose my situation over the justice we wanted to achieve for our parents. But how can I face him when I know why he chose me? Alpha Devon had always had a soft heart, which is why he was loved by all the people in our kingdom. One of them is his love for his own blood, and that is his family. He knows from the start that once you sit on that throne, your main role is to protect the kingdom and not your family. But Alpha Devon chose the opposite, and I can't help but blame myself too. If I hadn't been weak and hadn't been taken lightly by the enemies, all of this wouldn't have happened. Alpha Devon would never have had a reason to abandon his role. That day, Jules left the palace. I heard Neticia crying from her room, but I can't comfort her right now because I am also confused and flabbergasted by all the things I found out. That same day, the elders and councilors announced that the hunting season
Chapter 61Neticia often came with me especially when Alpha Devon was busy. She's cheerful and energetic. Sometimes, I will get irritated because of her but I don't have any choice but to have patience with her. I am not like Jules who is always rude towards her.I don't understand why Jules disliked her so much. She's doing nothing wrong besides being annoying, but she's fine for me. Neticia tried to get close to Jules but Jules was being difficult. I don't want to interfere. That was what Jules wanted and there was nothing I could do.Years of being with Neticia made me feel a normal life. She was my playmate and friend for those times I was lonely. Because since the war ended Alpha Devon has been ignoring me. Or maybe I was just overthinking everything. Perhaps he was just busy.I just finished my training with Delta Robin when I passed by Neticia's room. It was slightly open so I could see her inside. She was sitting on a chair and in front of her was the canvas. One thing I've kn
Chapter 60I felt my head aching as I slowly opened my eyes. I can feel the soreness in my body as realization dawned on me. Terror filled me when I realized that I am now tied in a chair while in front of me is unfamiliar people staring at me like they want to tear me apart into a million pieces."Finally, you're awake," someone said. My forehead creased as I narrowed my eyes to look at the man slowly walking out of the darkness. The last time I remember I was on my combat training session with Delta Robin and then someone stormed in and knocked me off. I didn't know what happened after that. I just woke up in this situation."Who are you?" I asked. I am puzzled and worried, but I was trained to be calm in this kind of situation and don't want those restless training to be put to waste. I will be like my brother."I'm the Alpha king of the Rema kingdom, Alpha Rafael," he introduced himself at the same time I saw his face clearly. My jaw dropped as I clearly saw his face. I balled my
Chapter 59DAMON TIMOTHY SCOTThe day I was born was a whole week of celebration. It was repeatedly told by my older brother. I admire him so much since I was a child. I always watched him during a day break and sometimes mimic his moves. Alpha Devon never disappoints me until everything happened.I thought that being in royals is lucky. I can do everything I want. I can have everything I want. But I never thought that being in this family was this difficult. Primarily, when I found out the truth. What I thought was my cousin and friend Jules Simson was not just a cousin or a friend."I couldn't believe you hide this from me, you hide this from me and Damon!" I heard my brother, Devon's tense voice as he spoke. I am secretly hiding behind a wall because when I heard my brother's troubled voice I couldn't help but be curious."This is just for your own good! See what happened when you found out the truth? And you can't do anything with it, Devon. Nothing will change no matter what you
