2024-10-29 19:42:56LUNA ASTERBELLE’S POV
The aura that surrounded the dining hall was kind of heavy, despite the bright morning. Right after the mysterious man greeted me, King Dawn had been unusually releasing a large amount of his aura, which was a mixture of uneasiness and vexation."So, can I now know who you might be and what’s the purpose of your visit here?" I carefully asked the man who was busy finishing the meal that Jazpher served."I’m Beta Holmes of the Crimson Moon Pack," he introduced himself, then stood firmly with his closed fist on his chest. "The Alpha ordered me to fetch you from this useless clan," he added, which made the king click his tongue.Dawn suddenly got up from his seat in the middle, then approached Beta Holmes with such ferocity in his eyes. "Useless? You better watch your words, Nero. You’re in my territory; you should know what would happen if you mess up with me," he coldly said.Related chapters

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV As much as I didn't want to interfere with the two, Jazpher scared me with how worried he looked. He wouldn't simply burden me with the responsibility of saving Dawn if he could've done it on his own. I made up my mind to shift into my vampire form, and with my enhanced speed, I managed to catch the silver bullet with my bare fingers after Dawn attempted to shoot the beta. "Luna, get out of there!" Dawn yelled as his face turned red. He was mad at me for not utilizing the time he gave me to have a chance to escape. "You don't have to go this far, King Dawn," I softly mumbled, intending to calm him down. "I'm sorry for that condition; I'm taking it back. I'll just come with Beta Holmes so that this will no longer escalate into a disastrous duel." I kept my chin up to let them realize my determination. There was no point in conducting the duel if Dawn would end up
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 48 - Sense of Regret
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV It feels as if my world stopped spinning after I heard what would occur tonight from the Alpha himself. It all seemed impossible to believe, especially the first part where he declared that he chose me as his luna. I stepped back in an attempt to run away, but the pack warriors blocked the exit, so I returned to my spot. "Exactly what are you blabbering about? I only heard from Beta Holmes that you were interested in me, but that doesn't give you the right to claim me as your own! I have my mate, in case you don't know," I said. "Did your mate accept you? Rumors have it that he didn't even have the chance to do so because your adoptive parents refused to take Mr. Dawson as your mate," Alpha Holmes muttered. I have no clue where he heard such rumors, but he wasn't mistaken. Butler Zen moved forward to reach for my wrist, but I avoided his every attempt at the same

LUNA ASTERBELLE’S POV Cornered by two members of their pack, whose strength remains unidentified, I wasn’t able to resist anymore. I went back inside that luxurious territory, where Alpha Holmes was waiting for me to return. "You should discard that stubborn attitude of yours," he scoffed, maintaining his cold tone. "Follow Butler Zen to your lighting ceremony’s venue. It’s almost time for it to commence," he added before he left. I glanced at the butler, who shrugged his shoulders after I gave him a meaningful look. Minutes flew by. I was surrounded by people I wasn’t familiar with. The expression in their eyes clearly states how much they couldn’t wait for me to be one with their alpha. Even if they don’t really say it, I can tell that they only want to make use of me. Once my purpose here is done, they’ll probably throw me out of their pack as well, or worse, kill me.

LUNA ASTERBELLE’S POV The crowd has gone wild all of a sudden just because of the appearance of this woman, who had no manners. She didn’t even bother introducing herself. She literally attacked me from the get-go. "What’s the matter with you?" I furiously asked as I tugged my arm away from her grasp. The woman raised one of her eyebrows. "Don’t you know who I am?" "Yes. That’s right. I don’t f*cking know who you are, and neither do I have the slightest interest in getting to know an imbecile woman!" I raised my voice at her. I took a short glance at the butler after I yelled. Butler Zen had his mouth open out of surprise. Although I think that there was something else in his mind that bothered him. "Miss Asterbelle, stop. Don’t make a fuss out in public. This won’t do you any good if this reaches the Alpha." Zen gave me a warning. I heaved out
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 51 - The Auction
LUNA ASTERBELLE’S POV Lights were getting my vision blocked. The room was occupied by lots of women who I hadn’t met before. All of them seemed to have no idea what this auction would bring them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be showing such a bright smile, as if their future would be better after being sold and bought by those they’re not acquainted with. Most of the buyers would probably be scum—low-life wolves who are yearning for the satisfaction of their heating phases. "How can I get out of this place?" I murmured to myself while I continued to observe the others as they were getting themselves ready. "There’s no way out of here, Miss Asterbelle," a lady from my right side said, answering my query. I turned around to face her and was immediately amazed by her dazzling beauty. Her simplicity stood out, unlike mine, which had numerous products applied to my face. Her lips curled upward
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 52 - Their Dismay
LUNA ASTERBELLE’S POV A hand gripped my forearm, and judging from its temperature, I instantly knew it was the king, despite being unable to see him clearly through the darkness. "What are you doing here, Dawn?" I inquired, even though I already had a hunch that he came here just to save me from the Alpha. "I made a mistake—I let you go here as if you wanted to on your own accord. I shouldn’t have let Nero take you with him," Dawn replied, his voice filled with pity for the situation that I was in. I held the temple of my head as it continuously ached with an undetermined cause. I heard Shin’s voice telling me to choose between him and the king. I was beginning to get hysterical the longer that I stayed here. Could this be the disease that they were talking about? "Come home with me, Luna. I’ll keep you safe and always within my reach, so you won’t be in danger." F
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 53 - Bloody Night
LUNA ASTERBELLE’S POV Yesterday was hectic. I was forced to agree upon the conditions of the auction through the document that Beta Holmes gave me. I had to sign it with my full name along with a drop of my blood where I pressed my thumb to paste my fingerprint. One of the terms that made me terrified to forfeit was the fact that I’d die if I did—they would slowly torture me until I gave up and was exhausted from living. After an hour of contract signing, the auction proceeded as planned, and everyone of us was bought through the bidding system. The only difference I had among other women was the fact that the one who had the highest bid on me wasn’t a stranger; it was Alpha Holmes himself. He made a generous offer to purchase me for three times what my father expected—a whopping ten trillion dollars! I wouldn’t have that much money even if I worked my ass off for my entire life; Mr. Asterbelle would sur

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVI ultimately lost control of my whole body. I couldn’t regenerate, no matter how many attempts I made. My blood flushed out of my shoulders as I watched my fingers slightly tap themselves on the ground as if they had their own life."Is this how you intend to treasure me for eternity? By slowly killing me?" I asked.Alpha Shin’s eyes literally showed how amused he was. "Oh, this is just the beginning. Would you like to get to the exciting part now or would you wait until it’s officially your turn?" He laughed like a maniac would.I hissed, unable to think of a plan to get away from this place without my arms. I refuse to be a part of the Crimson Moon Pack’s prey."You already have my blood. What would you do now?"Shin knelt on one of his knees on the floor, glancing below to have a look at the viscous liquid down there. He let his index finger slip on it, then raised it in front of my face to tease me."This…" He played with my blood with his fingers. "A single d

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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
