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 22 - The Organization
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV"J-Joseph? I thought you weren't real..." I said as he approached me.He showed me the palm of his hand, then smiled. "I told you, I want you, Luna. Whatever may get in between us won't matter. I'm only interested in getting to know more about you, no matter what the cost may be."My eyebrows furrowed. "But... What about Andrea? Are you just going to dump her like this?" I genuinely asked. I don't think that she will ever forgive me once she finds out about this.Joseph pulled his hand back toward him. "Don't make me repeat myself, Luna. I don't give a f*ck about who that Andrea is. My wolf only wants you to be mine and no one else," he answered with a stern look.Mr. Asterbelle clapped twice just to gain our attention. "That's enough, both of you." He gazed upon the man beside me at the same time that he threw the same type of gun that I was holding. Joseph managed to catch it through its barrel. "I believe I already informed you ahead of time that your only task
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 23 - First Trial
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV"There were a lot of unexpected things that occurred, so I don’t really have the energy to explain them yet, but you can take it that way for now, Joseph," I directly answered him. There was no point in trying to hide it from him, but I also see no reason for me to inform him about my life’s background. Joseph chose to stay silent, realizing that he wouldn’t get a story out of me anyway. We decided to wait outside the clan’s gates until one of their guards came out."One member of the Blood Moon Pack," he muttered as he gazed upon Joseph before he switched his eyesight to me. "And… a rogue? What’s the purpose of your visit?"Joseph glanced his way at me for a second. His eyes were kind of telling me that I shouldn’t mind how the guard spoke and just let him handle all of the conversations. "I’ve been ordered by Alpha Asterbelle to send his daughter to the King of the Underground for special training. You can contact him if you’re still having doubts about her id
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 24 - The Prisoners
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVI held her head, then rubbed my hand on her hair while the other one was roaming on her cheeks to remove the blood, but it was already dry, so it didn’t come off. This can’t be happening. Her lips were already black, and her entire face was pale. It was like her blood was sucked out of her."What did you do to Yve? How did this happen? Why did you have to kill Yve for the sake of this damn trial?" I consecutively asked. The tone of my voice got hoarse as I was agitated, and I don’t think that anything can calm me down right now.Hysterical laughter resonated throughout the room. It made me crazy!I quickly stood up as I carried Yve’s head with the use of her long strands of hair, which made her head almost touch the ground. "Open this door!" I coldly ordered.There wasn’t anyone who responded, which totally tested my patience. The surroundings turned red, the same color as the blood on Yve’s face, at the same time that sirens flared."Open this door!" I yelled. My
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 25 - Their History
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVThe bullet that I first shot didn’t head over to the monster’s heart. It was unfortunate, but I still had a lot of chances to bounce back. I knew for sure that it wouldn’t take too long before I grew accustomed to this, so I made up my mind to stay focused."These bullets did a lot of damage to those creatures…" I mumbled to myself as I closely watched how one of them turned back to their human forms. "Is this what it means to be hit with a silver bullet?" I added as a query to the man who served as my tutor.He nodded his head once. "You can also use it to shoot yourself if ever you’re placed in a tight spot someday. It’s the only weapon that can calm the monstrous soul inside you," he answered.I never ran out of ammo, as he kept on supplying me with a new magazine. Half an hour has passed, and I think that I only have to take down about ten of them before I complete my task.I was required to shoot more than once, the bigger my opponent got. "Out to my last tar

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

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
