2024-10-29 19:42:56LUNA 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.

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

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
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 87 - The Sister
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV Jerome left the Dark Shadow Clan's premises under my supervision, as he was forced to go to the Crimson Moon Pack to communicate with them and hopefully gain their trust. Nero and Zen were still there, so I'm sure that they would assist him along the way. I can't help but admire Jerome, even if I can't see him do it personally. It's such an impressive feat that he wanted to take Shin's troops as his own, because I haven't seen him have a soft side for all the decades I spent with him during our childhood years. I haven't heard anything from him yet. He told me before he went there that he'd mind-link with me once everything's settled. "Luna, aren't you going to eat your breakfast yet? Jerome might not come home today as well," Mrs. Asterbelle mumbled, the tone of her voice hinting at concern. "If they insist on defying Jerome, he'd have no other choice than to get rid of them..." she added.
Claimed by The Mafia and Alpha King Chapter 88 - The Trap
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVThere wasn't anything certain at this point, especially with the ability of Brian to manipulate people's minds into thinking according to how he wants to.If I'm the only one who can see that Yana's tears weren't real, then does that mean that, in my allies' eyes, Yana was really in pain right now?I shook my head, then tried to gaze at Yana for the second time, only to realize that I still sensed no emotion coming from her."You can pierce through Yana's heart if you'd like to. That one is a fake. The real Yana is hidden somewhere safe in this pack house," I said without stuttering."How can you be sure about that?" Mrs. Asterbelle asked me, as if she also didn't believe my words.I glanced at my mother with one of my eyebrows raised. "Don't tell me you're falling for that man's tricks too, mom?" I mumbled while pointing at Brian, who was smirking this whole time. "This is why I preferred to take Brian on my own." There's no use in trying to convince them to thi

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

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

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

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.

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

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
