LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV

‘Save yourself; forget everyone else.’

A murmuring voice kept echoing through the depths of my mind. It was faint, but I kind of recognized where the voice was coming from.

‘Jerome?’ I thought to myself, waiting for at least any type of response from him that would confirm that my inference was right. Although a minute flew by and no one talked back to me.

"You’re coming with me whether you like it or not," Jazpher said as he grasped one of my forearms, aggressively pulling me together with him.

There were a lot of people watching as I made my entrance to their castle. Not a single one among them was interested in actually knowing who I was; all of them just seemed to be anticipating my death and the very moment that they would be able to get hold of my blood. My body was turning cold from the low temperature of the room that he brought me into.

Jazpher decided to leave me behind as he threw me on the couch without saying anything else. A small drop of sweat fell

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 14 - Her Mate?

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVA sight that I never wished to see occurred right in front of me: the death of my dearest friend, whom I treasured since we were kids. Jazpher didn’t hesitate to shoot Yve on her forehead; its sound almost made me deaf, but the impact of her body slowly falling to the ground was more painful than what I perceived."Y-Yve, no... This can’t be real, I muttered to myself with my lips continuously trembling."Oh, but this is reality, Miss Asterbelle. Your words provoked me to shoot your dear friend; that only means that you were the one who killed her, not me," Jazpher said as if he didn’t care about the life that has been lost.I lost my balance and couldn’t find the will to stand back up on my feet any longer. The sole purpose of my visit here was meaningless. I came here to save Yve, but it only made the situation worse.Does my presence really put those that I treasure at risk?"That’s more like it, Miss Asterbelle. Spread out your scent throughout this facility,

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 15 - A King's Interest

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVThe red carpet was smoother than my skin texture. All of the properties that surrounded me kept on shining with their brilliance. After a few minutes of that person’s disappearance, Jazpher literally changed the way that he approached me. He even led me to the rightful destination where I was tasked to go."Thanks," I murmured, then bowed my head for a second to show a little bit of courtesy despite the cruelty of his actions. I have no authority to further lecture him, as I'm only an ordinary citizen."My pleasure, Miss Asterbelle. Tell me if you need anything else," Jazpher replied. His hand, which formed a tight ball, was placed on the side of his chest, which slightly made me flinch as I thought that I was being treated like some sort of princess back there. "Be extra cautious of your words. He’s not the same kind as us, but he’s seriously a formidable being. You must always obey each and every single command of his—King Dawn is someone that can take our whole

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 16 - Sweet Mistake

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVIt’s been over five minutes now since I’ve begun to transmit my blood over to Yve, and still, there haven't been any changes in her state. She was still lying flat on the same spot of mist."It’s starting," King Dawn blurted out loud, and that was the sign for me to stop giving her my blood. "Step back. It’s not safe for you to stay with her," he warned me, which I didn’t understand quickly.Yve rose above the soot, and then she managed to grab me by the neck. She was seriously staring at me, as if she were communicating with my soul. "What have you done?" Yve asked. Her eyes were filled with sorrow.I can’t breathe. She was literally strangling me to death."Luna Asterbelle!" Dawn yelled my name as he attempted to pull me away from my friend’s grasp but was unable to do so. "I told you to step back," he mumbled to himself, as if he were partly blaming himself for my recklessness."Y-Yve… L-let’s talk about this peacefully," I said in between my gasps for a little

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 17 - A Development

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVMy life has been a misery ever since the day that I got out of the orphanage… or maybe this had been written on my fate all along. I totally envy all of those other living creatures who have nothing to get in between their ambitions for the future. Mr. and Mrs. Asterbelle gave me a lot of reasons to be disappointed in them instead of inspiring me to follow their path.If, right from the start, they informed me just how much they despised vampires like me, then I could've mentally prepared myself. If I knew that most of them would end up acting differently towards me only because of my identity, then I should’ve trained myself to be independent.It literally stinks how I am being reliant on someone else’s strength—the man in the hoodie, Eman, in particular. I have no clue when he would rather choose to ignore me whenever I need him than to help me survive.And speaking of survival, the last words that King Dawn mentioned earlier still bother me. Exactly what is he

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 18 - My Savior

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVMy entire mind didn't function, and I could barely sense my body, as if I were held captive somewhere, though I don't know where I was brought to. I could only recall the way I was abducted soon after the deafening sound disappeared.I coughed numerous times as my throat got itchy."Are you finally awake, vampire?" asked a stranger whose voice made it sound like he was prepared for any unexpected occurrences.In an attempt to break free from the ropes that were tightly squeezing both my arms and legs, I realized that I was merely wasting my remaining strength. "What did you do to me?" I asked.There was definitely an alteration within the insides of my body. Even if I still haven't manifested the full power of both a werewolf and a vampire, I am damn certain that I wasn't this weak before. I was even forced to exert a huge amount of effort just to ask him a question.A man's laughter filled the room that we were in. "There's nothing in particular that's worthy of

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 19 - Trust Issues

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVThe atmosphere suddenly changed right after I uttered my query. It doesn't seem to me like Eman has any plans to tell me about it, so I attempted to change the subject. "How did you end up here? Why would you bother saving someone as dangerous as me, knowing that a day would surely come sooner or later wherein I'd be the reason for this world's destruction?" I asked.Eman moved away, then stood up while holding both of my arms to assist me in rising as well."The appropriate time will come for me to explain everything that I know. I'll always be here to keep you safe from harm, so don't worry." Eman brushed off the strands of my hair that blocked my eyes. "Whether it's a fact that you'd bring misfortune to this world, I don't give a f*ck. You're still the same woman that I adore. You're you, Luna."An instant heat flared up on my cheeks, which caused me to blush... Or so I thought."L-Luna!" He yelled out my name even though he was already standing in front of me.

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 20 - He's Alive

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVI believe that about a month has passed since the last time that I saw Eman. He never got in contact with me, and I could no longer sense the little bit of aura that he emits no matter where I go. As I realized how I was wasting my time waiting for someone who wouldn't even return, I suddenly thought of an idea.I bit my lip as I knew how risky this plan was, but Eman was leaving me with no other choice than to intentionally put myself on the verge of danger.Eman swore that he'd come to save me every time I was about to get harmed, right?That thought alone was the sole reason left for me to trust him. Once he doesn't show up, then... I guess I have to totally abandon my faith in him.I roamed around the dim areas of Grimstone, making sure that I wouldn't end up in the territories of the Blood Moon Pack. I am not ready to face the Asterbelles yet."Exactly how would I purposely endanger myself?""Aren't you the daughter of Mr. Asterbelle?"I shivered when I heard

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 21 - She's Back

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVMy body was numb. It felt like I had no authority to either move or speak, as the only thing that I could do was think and question myself: "Where the heck am I?" The last scene that I can recall was when I was together with Andrea's boyfriend, who claimed to have an interest in me.There were about two people who were on their way here, and I heard their footsteps getting closer. And after a minute, the door blasted open, which triggered a shockwave in my body, returning my possession."Mr. Asterbelle... Mrs. Asterbelle... H-how am I back here? I-I didn't ---""Joseph brought you here," dad said with a blank expression, which made me widen my eyes. "How does it feel to get betrayed by someone you thought you could've trusted?" he asked with a slight curl on his lips, as if to purposely make me ponder the decision I've made.Mrs. Asterbelle showed no signs of pity. She went to the monitor beside me, and that was the only moment when I realized that I had numerous

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 97 - The Wedding

    LUNA ASTERBELLE’S POVAbout six months passed. Nothing special happened during those six months. We all just kept on working our asses off to earn money like everyone else does.All of what recently occurred to me in this world that seemed so unreal finally made sense to me, even though I never imagined and hoped that there would come a time when I would get married to the first and last man I love and would love for eternity, Jerome Dawson.Denrick was the one who planned for all of this. From the set-up, the wedding organizers, the theme, the dress codes, the invitations—everything. He knew that I would arrive this year, as if he had a condition with the moon goddess from Grimstone that he would claim me back no matter what.On the other hand, Charlotte only stood in the same spot as she watched me get dolled up by the hair and make-up artists. Even if I couldn’t see her face-to-face right now, I could still hear her sobbing. Those were tears of joy.“We’ll make you the star of the

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 96 - The Biological Parents

    LUNA ASTERBELLE’S POVI chose to let him hug me instead of pushing him away. The warmth in his embrace made me feel a sense of nostalgia. He was the first one to step back, but both of his hands still had contact with my forearms.“Are you Mr. Asterbelle?” I asked, making it obvious that I don’t recognize him at all.He didn’t seem to like my first query, seeing how he pressed his lips together, which made his dimples visible. “Yes, I am. I’m Denrick Asterbelle, your father, and my wife is Charlotte Asterbelle. I would understand that you don’t remember a single thing about what kind of life you had here. Let’s go inside so we can have a proper and decent conversation while sitting,” he said, inviting us inside the office.The three of us sat together on a single couch. We instantly saw Yuki from the other corner, and when she noticed our presence, she hurriedly went to sit beside her brother, Nero. My lips curled a little bit to form a small smile when I saw how the Holmes were glad

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 95 - The Search

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVI felt like there was someone who was desperately trying to wake me up from my deep slumber. A warm pair of hands touched my face, slowly cupping my cheeks, which were later pinched."I know you're awake. Stop pretending like you're asleep just to feel my touch, Luna," said a man with such a deep tone.I struggled to open my eyes because of the bright sunlight that was directed at me. And when I finally had a clear view of the dazzling man in front of me, my lips slightly parted."I should run away, right? You're going to harass me and kill me later on, right? You're a bad person despite having such a mesmerizing appearance, right?" I consecutively questioned him with both of my eyebrows raised.His facial expressions displayed how confused he was with my reaction, as if all of my speculations about him were far off from what he really intended to do.The man firmly held my shoulders as the two of us stood straight. "Don't mess with me, Luna. Are you being seriou

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 94 - The Portal

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVAfter we scattered all throughout the cave that looked like a pack house, we gathered back at the entrance to share our insights. We all shared something in common, which was the sight of human flesh placed in every corner.And just when I thought things wouldn't get any worse, Yve told us how she saw a possible hidden path from the deepest part of the cave."I swear, there was a lever on the bookshelf. I didn't want to advance there by myself; I was afraid that I might not be able to return once I went there," Yve explained.No one among us doubted her, so we agreed to follow her wherever she saw it.The walls were compressing more and more with each step we took, so we had to line up and walk in a straight line to avoid the risk of getting crushed.There were chandeliers in the room we went to. It's probably an archives area, judging by how many rows of bookshelves were built."There it is! The lever," Yve said, pointing at the first row of shelves.I tapped he

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVThe airway in my lungs got stuck when I felt the firmness of Jin's grip on my neck as he aggressively strangled me, like he had the intention to take my life away right at this moment.I held onto his wrists in an attempt to pull them away, which was unsuccessful. Jin was beyond the scope of my current strength, which I was letting out."Come on, Luna. Show me what you've got. I know you're just holding yourself back. If you insist on pretending like a weakling, you'd die out of cowardice," Jin whispered to my ear with his deep voice that wasn't pleasing.I swung my left leg towards his crotch, but it was useless. Jin didn't even move an inch, as if he were already numb to any kind of pain.If this escalated further, I'd really die. With that said, the only choice I have left is to listen to what he has to say."Parents? I never had one. I was brought to this world as an orphan. I have no such thing," I said as I desperately tried to breathe.Jin released me from

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 92 - The Guardian

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVThe man who served as the guard of the orphanage where I originally belonged and was also the heir of it was the same man who now serves as the guardian of this cave that was filled with a mysterious aura."So this was how you managed to feed us with that human flesh," Jerome said.I heard how his teeth were clasping against one another, so I held onto his hand to calm him down. I mind-linked with him to stop him from taking any indecisive actions."You should be appreciative that I still provided food and shelter for all of you. Imagine if I didn't; you wouldn't be standing there right now. You're probably buried deep within the ground without anyone remembering you," Jin replied as a provocation to Jerome, knowing that he had a short temper.I shook my head when Jerome glanced my way, knowing that he was starting to lose his screw.I stepped in front of Jerome, and before I got to Jin's area of reach, he removed the mask that covered about half of his face. His

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 91 - The Discovery

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVThe surreal feeling of being respected by everyone around me was still like a dream to me. I was so used to getting looked down on, so this entire turnout of events really benefits me. I no longer had to keep an eye on all the little things that would bring my reputation down."Luna, can you come up to the Alpha's office?" Yve asked the exact moment she entered the dining hall. "He called from the reception area and was looking for you. I don't know why he didn't choose to just mind-link with you," she explained with a sigh.I smiled at her as I went upstairs with a heavy heart. My gut was telling me that Jerome called me up there for some bad news.Knocking on his gray office door, I opened the door and crossed its threshold. "Jerome, what's the matter? It's unusual for you to call me up here," I mumbled as I slowly walked in front of his desk to stand right beside him as he watched the people from his window."One of our warriors has gone missing," Jerome initi

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 90 - The Ceremony

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVAs if on cue, the rain poured on us as if it were Althea who was getting dramatic over the loss of a prominent werewolf. If Brian were one of her children, she would surely be cursing all of the people who teamed up just for a single purpose: to annihilate Brian.A deafening silence surrounded the three of us in the woods when no one dared to speak after Jerome got rid of his bloodlust over Brian.Mrs. Asterbelle arrived at the scene and told us to gather around the mansion. "I don't know what to say. I still can't believe that he's really dead," she anxiously muttered while holding onto my forearm. "Thank you, Luna. All of this wouldn't have been possible if you weren't here."Left without the reason for her existence, a query popped into my head. "Aren't you feeling a sense of melancholy now that your mate is gone?"My mother shook her head, distancing herself from me. "It's fine. I'm actually happier than ever. Brian ridiculed me since the first day he chose m

  • Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King   Chapter 89 - The Slaughter

    LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVBrian brought me out of the pack house, somewhere within the woods, where I tend to get lost when I am still a kid. He probably assumed that there would be no one guarding this place since we already went to the mansion with my vigorous allies.The only one left here outside who was capable was Zen, along with their pack warriors, though I can't detect their specific hideout."I should have buried you alive. No, I never should have considered listening to that stupid man to adopt you." Brian began to reminisce about the past that he could no longer change without mentioning who he was referring to. "Too bad for you, though; you'll die without stepping foot in that wonderful world where you could've made a bounty of fresh humans."A world filled with humans? Those only exist in fairytales; there's no such thing as mortals. Not even the moon goddess knows about them. Grimstone was the only place that actually existed.If humans were real, then do they also know abo
