2024-10-29 19:42:56LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV
Eman has been trying to say the same thing over and over again: that I should leave King Dawn's side and never obey any of his words. I couldn't comprehend what's been driving him to say those things to me, but I'm sure that he must have his own reasons.He kept on repeating his statements that all led to one thing—betrayal."Did you have a misunderstanding with King Dawn before?" I questioned him before he could've said anything else.He placed his hands in his pocket, casually walking out of the abandoned building, which I followed. Since there wasn't much light around this area, I could barely see where we were. I depended on my ears to determine where Eman went."The truth would soon unveil, Luna. Just don't forget that I warned you today. If you can't avoid him a hundred percent, then just be cautious of whatever the King would plan out for the upcoming war,Related chapters

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV My hands trembled when I thought of Dawn, Shin, and Nero, completely dominating the Blood Moon Pack where my adoptive parents live. I shouldn't be worrying about them now that I've cut ties with Mr. Asterbelle, but I still have a faint sense of affection for them for raising me after they claimed me from the orphanage. Since if it weren't for them, I would've still been eating the flesh of my friends. I couldn't think straight; my mind was stuck in a haze. "Dawn has yet to reveal his real identity, Luna. As a token of apology, at least let me tell you this: you shouldn't trust him for the sake of your mentality. But if you're prepared to experience betrayal by those you had faith in, then do as you please." Althea walked to stand in front of me, which made each and every breath that I took feel massive. Her red eyes looked down upon me with such ferocity, the same ones that I've see

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV I struggled to stand back up when my back smacked to the ground full of flesh as soon as my wings got burned by Althea's flames. My muscles didn't stop having cramps while the rest of my body was aching. I could feel that I was on the verge of death, and yet, it seemed that the moon goddess wouldn't allow me to just die at this point. "W-why won't you kill me now that I'm vulnerable?" I asked her, my voice stuttering. Althea bent one of her knees, and then she placed the glowing stone above my forehead. "I was just testing you, Luna. I never planned to kill you. How can I take the life of my son's mate?" she responded as she assisted me in rising on my own two feet. I made sure that the stone wouldn't fall from my forehead, so I picked it up and gripped it tightly. "Can I ask you one thing about Jerome?" I seriously uttered, and she nodded to let me continue what I wanted to say. "I

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV I still have a lot to consider if I would dare fight against Mr. Asterbelle. I should take him out on my own, but I know for sure that he wouldn’t face me alone; he would probably hide a backup enforcement for me to have a hard time dealing with. However, I am now confident that I could at least put his life at risk once he faces me, especially with the fact that I have the Grimstone from the Moon Goddess to my advantage. King Dawn continued to babble regarding his remaining tactics, which I didn’t pay attention to. I almost dozed off before he could finish, so he decided to end it there. “We still have a week before we take action. I can’t let you in the battlefield if you’re going to dilly-dally,” Dawn said, gesturing to me to head upstairs where I can have a good night’s rest. It’s unfortunate to see that Yve just ignored me until we went to the fourth floor. She was just walking

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV Out of all the people who gathered for this event, I was probably the only one who had doubts about Yve's response to what Dawn ordered her to do. Back when we still had our peaceful lives without those wolves bothering us, Yve always told me how much she despised vampires, since they sucked blood out of nowhere and she imagined them to be merciless. So hearing her say that she'd rather stay as a half-blooded vampire made it impossible for me to believe. "Are you sure about that?" Dawn asked for clarification, his fingers pressing deep into her skin. "This is the only chance for you to be mortal and return to the human world where your safety is guaranteed," he added to persuade her. Yve nodded as she attempted to get out of Dawn's grip. "Let go, King Dawn," she demanded with little to no emotion. Dawn ignored her request as he held her even tighter than he had earlier, then he gest

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV The alarm clock that continuously rang above the desk that was beside the bed woke me up. As I was about to reach its head for it to stop, I touched someone's hand. I instantly opened my eyes, only to see that it was Dawn. I smiled at the thought that he might have been there the whole time, since midnight. "What are you doing here in my room?" I asked, rubbing both of my eyes with my fingers. "You're not supposed to barge into my room, even if this is your territory," I added. "We're scheduled to meet up at the underground organization at eight in the morning, Luna. Don't tell me you already forgot about it?" Dawn beamed with one of his eyebrows slightly raised. I pressed my lips together at the same time that I scratched my forehead, along with an awkward laugh. The scheduled strategic meeting for the upcoming war has totally slipped through my mind. I was too

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV With my heavy breaths, I gulped when I sensed how massive the impact of the Blood Moon Pack's barrier was the exact moment that we stepped inside their territories. This was exactly how I felt when I first entered their pack house when I was adopted by the Asterbelles. I didn't like how the first impression I had about them wasn't that welcoming to me. "I think they already know we're here," I said in a low voice. I was with Dawn and Jazpher. We left Yve behind the back lines, together with the mafia. They all swore to me that they'd defend her like their own lives were on stake and that if something bad happens to her, they'll kill themselves on the spot. On the other hand, the Crimson Moon Pack's youngest, Yuki Holmes, was still in the midst of convincing her brothers to cooperate with us and that we should call it quits and just team up once and for all. "Of c
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 72 - The Horn
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV Mr. Asterbelle was the worst among all of the people I've ever encountered in this lifetime. He wasn't the type of person who'd be merciful against anyone, even if they were related to each other or not. He was willing to kill anyone who planned to get in his way, especially those who had the intention of destroying the Blood Moon Pack—the pack that never had any flaws or records of defeat. The circulation of my blood has temporarily stopped, making it seem like I am lifeless. It was the only way I could think of to make my father release me from his strong grip, but my scheme was easily found out. "Pretending to die from a mere choke isn't going to work on me, Luna. Are you taking me as a fool?" he asked. I let all of my remaining strength flow to the lower part of my body as I stroked him in a single blow, which resulted in my continuous gasps for air while he effortlessly stood b

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV My movements began to get slower unintentionally. I forced myself to rush back to our hideout, and when I was finally out of the pack house, I stumbled upon the sight of my companions being beaten and slashed, marking their deaths. I tightly gripped onto my hair as I pulled it, bothered by how I endangered the lives of those innocent people who sacrificed themselves to protect my dearest friend, Yve. I know I shouldn't feel guilty about this, but I just can't help it. They wouldn't have died if Yve was at least on the same level as me or if she had remained a half-blooded vampire. "Stop!" I screamed my lungs out as I utilized my agility to take all of the Blood Moon Pack's troops down. They were immobilized by a single hit of my horn's luminosity. "What happened here? Why are you fighting already?" I asked them, but they just groaned in unison. Yve glanced my way, and her eyesight i

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
