Altair looked at Enne with an enigmatic gaze. His face showed a hesitation that was rarely seen. "Enne," he called softly, in a softer voice than before. "I wonder... how you feel about me?" he repeated.

Enne fell silent. The words seemed to stop in mid-air, enveloping them in a strange silence. For a moment he felt his heart flutter, but he didn't know if that was the answer Altair wanted. How could he give an answer if he did not understand the feeling himself?

"I...," Enne tried to speak, but the words hung on the edge of his lips. She averted her eyes, trying to find meaning behind the emptiness of her thoughts.

However, their silence did not last long as the door to the room opened firmly. Devota entered, with her usual steady stride. The man who was Altair's Beta and his confidant immediately reported the situation with a serious expression.

"Sorry to interrupt, Alpha," the man said matter-of-factly. "We've detected rogue movement at the western end of the village. It appears th

    Winter sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the window curtains, illuminating the room that felt cold despite the room heater being turned on. The air in the room was mixed with the scent of snow that entered through the slightly open window slits, bringing a fresh yet piercing air. Enne sat on the edge of the bed, wrapped in a thick blanket, but the chill he felt was much deeper than just the winter frost.That afternoon, his mind had been racing since lunch with Altair. Only a few hours had passed since the capture of a rogue who infiltrated the village, then the words about the possibility of Andara being part of the Rogues still echoed in her mind, as if flowing with every breath she exhaled.Andhara? The person she had known as a sincere man who had helped her? How could someone like Andhara be involved with a group of rogues who spread cruelty?Enne took a deep breath, trying to calm down while looking at the snow piling up outside the window. The thick blanket was unable

    The snow continued to fall, piling up on the window frames until the room felt quieter, more silent. The silence almost made time stand still, only the faint sound of the fire in the fireplace occasionally crackling in the corner of the room, creating a little warmth in the midst of the cold night. Altair sat across the table, his gaze dreamy. His face was serious, focused, but occasionally his gaze softened when his eyes glanced briefly at Enne.In his mind, Altair tried to piece together the facts about the rogue arrests that happened this morning. The six who were caught were a stubborn group-more persistent than originally thought. Despite being caught, they still refused to give any further information. And one thing that kept ringing in his mind was the reason behind their actions. Those rogues weren't just rioting to cause trouble; they were attacking the village, as far as Altair could tell, he found a loophole, they were doing it for revenge. But revenge against whom? The que

    That morning, the corridor was quiet, as if waiting for something unexpected. Altair walked with firm steps, his intention was only one-a quick breakfast before starting the day. He imagined the warmth of coffee chasing away the cold in his throat. Occasionally, he rubbed his hands that were reddened by the cold air, although the freezing he felt was not only because of the freezing season but also the atmosphere that somehow felt more tense than usual.When she almost reached the dining room, her steps faltered. At the end of the hallway, she saw Devota, a Beta she could always count on. However, there was something odd about the man's face. His face was pale, as if he carried bad news that was too heavy to say."Devota?" called Altair, quickening his pace.Devota looked nervous, but the man managed to control his emotions. "Alpha... there's a big problem."Altair stopped the pace, his forehead furrowed deeply. "What's going on?"Devota looked directly at the Alpha. "The captives...

    Enne let out a long breath, staring at Altair's retreating back. He knew very well that something was making the man uneasy. The way Altair spoke, the look in his eyes, all implied that he had something on his mind, but he chose to keep it to himself.Trying to divert his mind, Enne obeyed Altair's suggestion to continue with breakfast. With various thoughts in her head, Enne arrived and sat down at the dining table. The aroma of warm bread and winter potato soup was appetizing, but a bit of anxiety still filled her heart. Jessica greeted her with a gentle smile."Good morning, Miss Enne. Please enjoy. I've prepared a winter dish that might warm your heart," Jessica said, pouring Enne a cup of hot tea."Thank you, Jessica," Enne replied with a small smile, trying to hide the feelings of anxiety that surrounded her.The morning passed quietly. Enne enjoyed her breakfast in silence, accompanied by the sound of the winter wind blowing softly from outside the window. However, as the after

    "You've come to your senses," he said calmly, as if this encounter was just an ordinary occurrence.A sense of surprise and alarm immediately crept into Enne's mind. Although she had been rescued by Andhara before, there were many things she did not yet understand about the man, something that made her not entirely comfortable around him.Enne tried to keep her distance and stay alert. Slowly, she got up and leaned against the cave wall, her body still weak but enough to give her some space."You... saved me?" she asked softly, trying to subdue her nervousness.Andhara nodded casually. "I saw you almost freeze to death in the middle of a storm. There's nothing wrong with helping someone who is dying, right?" she said in a light tone.Enne stared at her silently, feeling confused whether to be grateful or even more wary. Andhara's relaxed demeanor didn't seem to imply any bad intentions, but there was something that made it difficult for Enne to feel comfortable.Andhara seemed to sens

    In the middle of a shivering snow-covered forest, Altair stood upright, looking towards the northwest. The thickening snow mist covered the tracks on the ground, making every step elusive. Several warriors stood behind him, awaiting orders. Next to him, Devota looked at him attentively, her eyes trying to read their leader's now troubled face."Alpha," Devota said, her tone formal yet full of concern. "Maybe we should stop the search for a while. This blizzard is getting crazy, and we're losing our way."Altair didn't answer immediately, just squinted, trying to see more clearly even though his vision was obscured by the fog. The cold bit into his bones, and he felt the foreboding growing stronger. But his mind wasn't just on the rogues they were hunting-there was another image nagging at his heart. Enne.She had left the village early in the morning to hunt for the trail of the rogues who had escaped the night before, but ever since the storm had started, she had been feeling restles

    "Andhara... do you have any connection to the rogues who attacked the village?"Enne stared at Andhara with sharp eyes, waiting for the man's answer to her question just now. Seconds passed in silence, but Andhara didn't give any reaction. His face remained calm, showing no signs of shock or anger. His silence felt like confirmation to Enne-a wordless answer that confirmed all his suspicions.Andhara stared back, his eyes deep and enigmatic, yet not a word escaped his lips. Enne felt shaky, but not from the cold. From the look in those eyes, a glimpse of a shadow appeared in her mind, and she felt it-a faint hint of a hidden memory or intention behind Andhara's eyes. Something dark and devious. She tried to make sense of the sudden memory, and the conclusion that came to her was horrifying.He is indeed one of them... Enne thought with mixed feelings of fear and anger. Andhara was part of the rogues who attacked her village.The thought disturbed her. It had been a long time since she

    Enne was still rooted to the spot. The word "Alpha" that came out from Lynx echoed in his mind. Alpha? Andhara was an Alpha? His mind instantly spun, remembering Devota who often called Altair with the same title. Isn't an Alpha the leader of a pack, the strongest and most respected? If so, was Andhara as strong as Altair?However, before Enne sank further into her confusion, Lynx's voice rang out again, softer this time, like a mentor about to explain something."Every wolf pack has an Alpha," Lynx said in her mind, his voice soothing, though Enne could sense a hint of worry behind it. "The Alpha is the leader of the pack, the most dominant and the most powerful. An Alpha can be male or female. Altair is the Alpha of your village, but he's not the only one in that position. His cousin, Stella, is the Alpha of another pack. However, since they have separate packs, there is no conflict between them."Enne tried to understand the explanation, although her mind was still shrouded in conf

    The morning sky stretched over the village, its orange tinge fading into a soft blue as the sun rose slowly from the horizon. However, for Enne, this morning was not as bright as it should have been. His mind was still in turmoil, raging with questions that never found answers. Lynx... She was sure she heard her inner wolf's voice, but it was only for a brief moment.Currently, she stood by the window of her room, staring out blankly. A gentle breeze blew against her skin, but it was not enough to dispel the uneasiness that ruled her chest."Still thinking about it?"Altair's deep, calm voice broke her reverie. He had just finished putting on a shirt, his black hair still a little messy after waking up. His gaze was sharp yet gentle as he approached and stood behind Enne, both hands resting on his waist.Enne sighed. "I'm sure I heard Lynx, but when I tried to talk to him... like before, he disappeared again."Altair stared at Enne's reflection in the window glass. "Maybe he needs mor

    As they walked towards the dining room, Enne couldn't shake off her uneasiness. Not only because Stella would definitely tease her again to no end, but also because of the strange feeling that had been lingering in her mind since this morning. Lynx briefly called out her name, but then went silent again.He glanced at Altair, who was walking leisurely beside him. The man looked as he always did-cold, calm, and in control. But there was something in the way he held her hand that felt different. Tighter, as if to ensure that he was there.Once they arrived at the dining room, Stella was waiting with a meaningful expression."Good morning, new couple," Stella greeted in a teasing tone.Enne immediately felt his face heat up, while Altair only gave a small snort before sitting down in his chair.Stella chuckled, her eyes twinkling with satisfaction. "Why is your face red, Enne? Ah, aren't you still tired from last night's practice?"Enne almost choked on the water she had just drunk. "Ste

    That morning, the sun filtered in through the gap in the curtains, illuminating the room with a soft golden light. The morning air was still cool, even though winter had already passed. Enne sat on the side of the bed, his fingers playing with the ends of the thin scarf wrapped around his neck. It was not his habit to wear a scarf indoors, but this time he felt he needed it.Meanwhile, Altair was still lying on the bed, one arm bent behind his head, his eyes watching Enne with his usual relaxed expression. He could feel the subtle tension from the girl, especially after the night they had spent together. Altair did not regret it-not in the slightest. In fact, this was something that should have happened a long time ago.However, before they could talk further, the door to the room opened without warning."Good morning, new couple!" Stella appeared with leisurely steps, a meaningful smile etched on her face. "How did you sleep last night? Good?"Enne was shocked to death and almost jum

  • IM THE LUNA   Chapter 62. Advanced Training

    The training between Enne and Altair that was originally meant to be a simple training session slowly turned into something more than just physical exercise. The quiet night, lit by the faint moonlight, created an intimate atmosphere between them. Their breathing was ragged, not just from exhaustion, but from the tension that was slowly building between them.As Enne tried to launch her final attack, Altair easily dodged and caught her wrist. With one swift movement, Enne lost his balance, and in an instant he was in Altair's arms. Her heart was beating fast as their gazes met. Altair's dark eyes were filled with something Enne had never seen before-unrestrained desire."You did well," Altair murmured, his voice deep and filled with pent-up emotion.Enne was speechless. The air between them was heavy with something unspoken. Altair's hand that was still grasping her wrist slowly moved to her face, gently caressing her cheek. Enne held her breath, feeling the warmth from his touch."Al

    That night, the sky above Pack Altair was covered with glittering stars. The night breeze blew gently, caressing the leaves and carrying the distinctive scent of damp forest soil. Inside his quarters, Enne sat on the edge of the bed, fiddling with his fingers restlessly. It had been several days since his secret training with Stella and until now, he still hadn't found the courage to speak to Altair."You must persuade him, Enne. If anyone can do it, it's you." Stella's words were still ringing in her head.Enne sighed heavily. It was not an easy thing to do. Not because she didn't want to be honest, but because every time she tried to open her mouth, her tongue felt numb. Altair, with his cold calm demeanor, always managed to make her lose her nerve at the last moment. But that didn't mean she gave up.Throughout the day, Enne tried to find the right time. Several times, he found himself face to face with Altair, but when the man's piercing gaze traced his face, his guts shrank. Ever

  • IM THE LUNA   Chapter 60. Report

    Devota stood tall before Altair, his eyes radiating seriousness as he delivered his report."Before I saw firsthand, Alpha Stella asked me to vacate the training area. I thought it was just normal training, but after I checked... I saw Stella was training with Luna Etienne."Altair did not respond immediately. His sharp eyes scrutinized Devota for a moment, before he finally leaned back in his chair, his fingers interlaced on the sturdy wooden table. To be honest, he was surprised-not because Stella was training Enne, but because Enne chose to hide this from him."She did it behind my back..." Altair muttered more to himself.Devota watched her leader's expression intently, trying to understand his reaction. She had expected Altair to be angry or at least annoyed that Luna was training without his knowledge. But the opposite was true-Altair was only surprised, not angry. He seemed more worried than upset."You're not angry?" Devota asked finally.Altair shook his head slowly. "I don't

    Enne bit her lip, holding her breath as Stella attacked her again. He tried to defend himself, but as time went on, his reflexes slowed down. Her legs began to feel heavy, her body began to lose balance.Stella quickly seized the opening. Within seconds, she launched a flurry of attacks-punches, kicks, deadly moves that Enne could usually avoid. But this time, Enne was overwhelmed.Her feet stumbled as she tried to dodge, and before she could balance herself, Stella had already grabbed her arm and pushed her to the ground. Enne fell with a thud, her breath coming in gasps."You're starting to slow down," Stella commented, giving her a sharp look.Enne growled, trying to get up, but her whole body felt heavy. She looked at Stella in frustration. "I... I don't know why."Stella watched him intently, her brow furrowed. Since the beginning of the practice, she had felt that something was off with Enne. His initial movements were quite good, but over time, he grew slower and seemed unfocus

    Enne sat on the balcony of his residence, staring into the distance with a blank expression. The sun was about to set, leaving a beautiful orange tinge in the sky. However, his mind could not enjoy that beauty at all.It had been more than a week since the incident at her wedding-since Andhara had kidnapped her.Or rather, someone who looked like Andhara.Ever since then, something had been wrong. Something that bothered her so much that she had trouble sleeping.Lynx was still asleep.Enne had tried to talk to her wolf. He had closed his eyes many times, focusing, hoping to hear Lynx's distinctive voice that was usually sharp and sarcastic. But, there was no answer.Normally, Lynx wouldn't stay silent if Enne felt uneasy.But now, the silence she felt was even more frightening.'What exactly is happening to me?'Her hands clenched into fists on her thighs. Ever since that incident, she tried to live her days normally. As if nothing had happened. However, the empty feeling inside her

    "You've done your job well, Devota," Altair said finally. "But from now on, I will handle this myself."The next day, Altair called a surprise meeting with all the pack members. No one knew what would be discussed, but once they saw the cold look in their leader's eyes, no one dared to underestimate the urgency.Enne, who was standing beside Altair, felt confused by this situation. However, he did not say anything, just waited like the other members.When everyone had gathered, Altair stepped forward."I want to discuss something I shouldn't have to," his voice sounded heavy, each word containing power. "Our Luna has been accepted in a legitimate ceremony, and that means she is one of us. However, I hear there are those who still question her position."Silence fell over the place."I don't care who you are or where you come from, but one thing you must understand-no one in this pack has the right to challenge my decision." Altair's eyes swept the crowd with his piercing gaze. "Enne i
