And just as I was making this wish, I realized that I wasn't alone in this room. At the corner stood Jerome, staring at me in silence. He didn't even say a word when father was talking about Argon. "Seriously? You're just standing there instead of helping my father? Argon is your Alpha! Can't you b
ARGON "We thank the goddess for saving your life, my dear. We're so happy to see you're okay," One of the councils said, petting Brielle on the head. Although I was the one who told and called them over to check up on Brielle, they made me feel like I was invisible in their presence. All the att
ESTELLE "The headlines are looking beautiful today," Jerome pointed out, walking to and fro in my room. "Ex-Luna saves future Luna from death. Oh, how interesting. Wait... This second one is looking nice, " Jerome shared, coming to a stop right next to me. "They took a picture of you when you were
"Be warned, Jerome. You are a Beta, not some king. I have a lot of power over you. I'm a princess and you are just a mere right-hand man! A spare part! Mind how you speak to me or you'll regret it!" I warned. He glowered at me, about to lift his hand and say something. But that's when my father cam
It was a clear indication that I was in trouble. "My daughter? What did she do?" Father looked at me then at Argon. And that's when Argon revealed the pain he has been nurturing all these while. "Tell Estelle to give us an answer to her devilish act. Why did she choose this path? And right before
ARGON Do they think I'm stupid? They are trying to blame a poison that didn't have any hand in the baby's death! The report clearly shows that Estelle had already removed that baby before our wedding. "And she even dared to deny the truth right before my very eyes?! That brat! How could she?!"
"Don't you dare accuse Brielle for your own daughter's crime! You should be grateful that she saved your daughter and spared you from digging a grave!" I fired back, annoying Deron even more. Out of anger, he snapped his finger and said, "A useless man like yourself shouldn't talk to an Alpha! You
ARGON "Don't bother. Tania is here, " Brielle had said, taking hold of her maid's arm while exiting the room. She returned all dressed and ready to leave, only to be disappointed when I told her mine and Sir Derek's decision. I just made it look like he was the one who wanted her to follow me back
"Hey, " He uttered, standing in my front, while I gazed back, asking, "What?" I noticed how his smile faded, asking with a sad face, " Brielle, it's a special occasion for our kids. Can I at least get a smile from you?" I heard Bane growl within, and it seems Argon noticed, because he then request
BRIELLE Worthless, Useless, Wolfless... I've been called these names for years, enduring so many bullying from those that made my life a living hell. But after all these taunts... Who's laughing now? The authorities arrived that night to rescue Argon and I. They also saw Deron's dead body and sho
"What... Wh..." I stammered, feeling my heart pounding fast. "Yes, you heard me. When Brielle was crazy about you then, you made fun of her love and left her in pains. She kept wishing for you to love her back one day. And believe me Argon, I had so many plans for you. I wanted you to die the most
Deron's groan took my attention away from Bri... I mean Bane. He got to his feet and was trying to run away with his one arm. Bane didn't bother to run after him. She just walked up to a terrified Deron and grabbed him from the back neck, stopping him. I heard Deron crying and begging, "Don't kil
"You think it was the heaven's doing? No, Argon. Brielle plotted out our future, from the day she asked you for those three months. She played the victim game to get the job done in a coded way! Your Luna isn't as pure as you think. If you know her true form, you'll join hands with me and kill that
"In that case..." He stood before me, "You'll have to die first, before I get that witch of a wife!" I lifted my eyes and saw him springing his claw out, ready to use it on me. "I won't allow anyone to stand in my way of..." Before he could finish his statement, I bumped his jaw hard with my head,
I could read the fear and it made me wonder what that bastard had done before Brielle escaped. As she wanted, we both got into the car and made a turn, driving through the pathway I came from. "Why is Deron trying to kill you? " I asked, curious to know. That's when Brielle said, " After hearing
ARGON "What do you mean by you don't know? Find her!" I raised my voice at my guards, sending them out to search for my Luna. "Where are you, Brielle? Where did you go to?" I panicked, rushing up the stairs to check all the rooms. The last time I laid my eyes on her was at noon, when she said she
I fell hard, making an attempt to rise, only to receive another smash on my head, feeling the shattered pieces of the pillar burying me to the ground. I thought she was going to stop, but she didn't. Bane swiftly split another pillar from the building, ignoring the ceiling that was slowly crumbling
