2024-10-29 19:42:56LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV
The entire world seemed to stop for me when Jerome fainted right in front of me, and I wasn't even able to do anything at that point other than stare at him lying on the ground with his eyes still closed. I couldn't even ask for anyone's help since I was the only one with him in that cell. I know that my mom, Yve, and even Joseph saw what happened here, but I doubt that they could help him."Jerome?" I called him in hopes that he'd ask why, but I didn't receive any sort of response from him. "No, wait... This can't be happening. This might be just a dream," I muttered as I continuously shook my head, trying to convince myself that this wasn't reality, or maybe I was just hallucinating and that this was one of the side effects of the Crimson Moon Pack's virus.I tried to remain as calm as possible. Losing my focus at this moment would only endanger Jerome's life more.Though that wasRelated chapters

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV As soon as Shin attempted to decapitate Lizzy with his bare hands, I sped up to their spot as I immediately tried to kick his legs to make him kneel. Although he was able to avoid it as if he had seen through the future, he stepped back at the exact moment I rushed to them. "Are you going to kill Lizzy after Yuki entrusted the shaman's life to you? Would you really betray Yuki just to see me in a miserable state?" I seriously asked him, in hopes that he'd still have a little bit of conscience left. "Yuki, huh? I see more worth with Lizzy than her. I don't even know why she got into our bloodline; she should've been a rogue instead," Shin answered with little to no hesitation. I've had enough of the alpha's rudeness, especially about how he switches sides with anyone he deems more superior than the other. 'Let me out, Luna. I'll let him have a lot of things to reg

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV My wolf automatically sulked within the depths of my soul as I witnessed how Shin ruthlessly took the life of the innocent shaman who I was expecting to save Jerome. Lizzy died in the hands of the person she feared the most, and I couldn't even do anything for her. I would carry this burden of guilt for the rest of my life. I was no longer in my awakened form. I went back to my human appearance, and I couldn't even let a tiny bit of aura emit through my body. The feeling of losing someone completely washed through me, like I had no choice but to deal with it. With both of my knees on the ground and my clenched fists above my thighs, I knew that it was the end for me as well. Even if I knew that everything would turn out this way, I still chose to take the risk. My keen senses abandoned me, even though my vision wasn't that efficient anymore. I couldn't grow out m

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV I never left Jerome's side for the next couple of hours. My adoptive mother was the only one who invited me to rest or at least have a short break to eat my meal, but regardless, I still stayed on the same spot. "Why are you pretending like you never insulted Jerome before?" The curiosity from the past still lingered, and it wouldn't leave me until either one of my adoptive parents gave me a response. Mrs. Asterbelle sighed, avoiding eye contact with me. "Jerome Dawson had a lot of similarities with the moon goddess—I didn't like that." "And what if I tell you that Jerome was the moon goddess' son? Will you disapprove of him as my mate? Will you treat him like trash?" Mrs. Asterbelle has been hating Althea for years now, even before I got to meet her and Brian. We never talked about why she loathed the moon goddess so much; she always changed
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 82 - The Execution Grounds
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV The feeling of betrayal took a toll on Shin. He saw nothing else other than the idea of getting rid of those who betrayed him, no matter what their relationship was or how strong their bond used to be. All that matters to him is creating a massacre. Shin leaped above us, which we easily avoided by jumping towards the threshold of the door that he left open. His overwhelming power was nothing to be taken lightly. If I were even a second late in moving, I could have died back there, seeing how he didn't even hesitate to land with such a strong force that made the ground shake. Nero peeked at me for a short while, only to check whether I was safe or not. He called upon his wolf before he shifted. They both had similar features, as if they were born as twins who only had differences in perspectives. The beta tried to catch Shin with his quick agility, but it was useless. Shin was obviously faster than him.

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV Anger filled my mind. The best that I could do to maintain my composure for now was to hold Astra back. I still have to find the right momentum for her to strike. Astra was the type of wolf who gets careless as she tends to act on her own accord without any plan beforehand. "Release Nero before I run out of patience, you insolent brat." I blurted out Astra's thoughts, though I guess they were also mine. "You're not even worthy to be recognized as an Alpha, considering that rotten personality of yours," I added. Shin's cheeky smile faded as he started to bite one of his fingernails, only to state that he was getting anxious. "You have no idea who you're facing. Shall we settle this with a duel and a deal? If you can make me kneel on the ground and completely out of breath, I'll set Nero free and heal his whole body. But if you lose..." The alpha's eyesight traveled from my face down
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 84 - The Replacement
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV The stench of Nero's blood crept to my nose as Shin kept on whistling as his footsteps drew near me. I heavily breathed from my slightly parted lips at the same time that I exposed my wings, which I flapped consecutively before I flew down to purposely stumble upon Shin's head. I pretended like I received a fatal impact that caused me to fall and roll to the ground while groaning in pain. "I don't want to plan bruises on your beautiful skin, little wolf. Admit defeat already; you won't even succeed if you have any ulterior motives," Shin arrogantly said, contradicting his action as he stepped on my hand, rotating his foot, almost with the intention to break it. "I heard something intriguing recently. Your plan was to fake your death; am I right or am I right?" My eyes flickered in fear that Shin knew my scheme all along, even before I discussed it with Nero. "Your hobby of eavesdrop
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 85 - The Betrayal
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV The plan to end this mess inside the Crimson Moon Pack doesn't seem to have a bright exit just yet. I really thought that once we got rid of the former alpha, we could rest easy already and just think about how to take Brian out as well. We were foolish to think that no one among our allies would actually dare turn their backs on us to betray us. If ever my hunch was right, then I highly believe that it would be Jerome to get hurt first, aside from anyone else, considering that Jazpher was the only keeper of the Dark Shadow Clan whom he trusted the most. Nero still hasn't found where Yuki and Jazpher were hiding. He couldn't get through their mind-link, which only proves that she's in an unfortunate situation right now. "If I see that vampire again, I seriously won't go easy on him anymore!" Nero gritted his teeth. On the other hand, Jerome seemed to have a lead where he could sense
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 86 - The Intimacy
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV Those eight words froze me on the spot. I could sense the continuous thumping of my heart and also how my entire face blushed because of the heat coming from my ears. However, I still couldn't come up with a proper response to that. Maybe it wasn't the right time for us yet, considering how we still had to deal with my adoptive father before we could totally relax and be comfortable with our everyday lives. "Everyone's waiting for us..." "I don't care." Jerome cut me off. "Don't you want to be mine for eternity, Luna? Are you going to reject me?" The longer that I stare at those eyes of his, the more I can sense that his wolf is peeking through my own and is trying to lure me in. Jerome's hand started to travel from my shoulders down to my waist, exploring the insides of my shirt as he pulled me closer to his muscular body. He rested his chin on my right shoulder

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
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

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
