"Isn't she showing off her body on purpose?" said the curly-haired man sitting around the table with his three friends while staring at the back of the girl in the blue apron who was struggling with her toast.

"Don't say that, she can hear you," said the blond-haired man.

"She's just a weird, arrogant girl." The stocky man chimed in.

"You're just mad because she wouldn't fight you yesterday," the tall man said to the curly-haired man.

Enne could hear the whispers clearly, a bunch of boys her age had deliberately come to her mother's bakery and gossiped there, yes... gossiped about her.

Without saying anything, Enne had already walked over to serve four cups of toast to the four boys and intended to return to the kitchen.

"Hey Aquila." The curly-haired man said Enne's first name.

Enne turned her head, she didn't say anything but looked back at the man.

The curly-haired man smiled mockingly. "What's the rush? You can stay with us for a while," the man said with a chuckle.

His voice was

    "I'm not allowed to leave until you eat your food," Jessica explained when she saw Enne just burying herself in the blanket with her back to her."Why are you so obedient to that pale guy? Go away and leave me alone here," Enne said without removing the blanket from her body."You know that a Gamma like me has no right to defy an Alpha."Enne, who was annoyed by Jessica's answer, poked her head out and turned to the butler."I hope this is just a bad dream. My purpose for coming here is not to become a werewolf, I want to live a normal life like everyone else, sometimes I also want to ignore my mind reading ability, but their words can always be heard and are so honest, I can't pretend not to hear them. I'm a freak, and now that pale one is making me even weirder." Unconsciously, Enne poured out her grievances.Jessica could see the look of sadness in Enne, she had already walked over and placed her food tray on the nightstand beside Enne's bed. "I know your sadness, but facing things

    Enne was really desperate to smuggle herself into the trunk of the horse-drawn carriage. Yes, after Jessica left the Enne's room, Enne headed straight for the horse-drawn carriage that would transport Aaron and Stella to town. The two people left immediately after Devota went home and took over Aaron's duties in the village.There wasn't much conversation that Enne could catch, her body occasionally jolted as the horse-drawn carriage she was riding in hit the gravel or uneven road. Enne didn't know how long she had stayed in that position, an hour or more? But Enne immediately breathed a sigh of relief when the horse-drawn carriage stopped moving.Enne could hear the sound of Altair and Stella's feet getting off the horse-drawn carriage. After the situation was deemed safe, Enne immediately came out of her hiding place very carefully.Enne's body felt very cramped, curling up in a cramped place like a trunk for a long time made her joints need stretching, not to

    Altair was about to speak up when he saw Stella suddenly enter the room and interrupt him. "They are ready, those people want to see you in person."Altair nodded slowly. Yes, his goal was to expand his business connections. Although Altair lived in the forest far away from the city, it was not impossible that the outside world would disturb his flock, with Altair establishing relations with the human world, at least they knew that Altair could be a powerful person and would not disturb his area.The proof was that even though Altair lived in the interior of the forest, he had many businesses in the capital city, such as the firearms business, nightclubs, and some famous shops, it was Madame Lyra who was Enne's grandmother who used to take care of Altair's human affairs, considering that Madame Lyra had lived in human civilization for a very long time.However, since Madame Lyra had to go somewhere, Altair was forced to step in, while he left the affairs in the village to Devota."Did

    Enne was stunned. A golden brown wolf was approaching her. There was no fear at all, and Enne felt this strangeness.Normally a person would run away out of fear, or inch away in surprise at the arrival of such a beast, but not Enne, she kept staring at the wolf with dense fur approaching her.Enne didn't know if it was just a feeling or not, but the wolf's steps looked graceful. The wolf walked beautifully, leaving a trail in the snow."Finally we meet."That voice. Enne frowned, it was a familiar voice to her ears."Why the surprise? We've talked before. I've said it before; I am you and you are me."Enne didn't want to admit it, but the wolf was talking to her."You're ...." Enne's sentence trailed off. She remembered hearing that voice at Mrs. Lyra's house, the day she moved to her grandmother's village, before she and Altair officially met."Are you going to reject my presence? But seeing that you are not afraid at all, I feel that your curiosity is greater than your fear," the w

    "Etienne?"Enne could faintly hear someone's voice calling his name."Are you okay?" the voice asked again.No, Enne knew that voice well, his head felt dizzy, especially when his sense of smell picked up the strong odor of cigarette smoke and alcohol."What hurts?" the person asked again when he saw Enne wincing while holding his head.That's right, there was no mistaking it, it was Altair."I'm fine," Enne finally said in a hoarse voice. The girl tried to remember what happened. Yes, she was still at Altair's club.Enne began to recall the time when she sneaked into Altair's carriage and then when she was about to go to her mother's residence but the unexpected happened. Enne also remembered when Altair came to save her, then they began to open up to each other and forgive each other, oh Enne remembered she had blamed Altair about the possibility of her turning into a werewolf was because of that man, Enne remembered everything, she even remembered when she met Melody and the others

  • IM THE LUNA   Chapter 15. A Nagging Feeling

    The horse-drawn carriage they were in moved slowly down the path in the forest. Inside, the atmosphere was colder and heavier than their previous journey. Enne sat on one side, his hands clasped tightly together in his lap. His mind kept drifting back to the moment last night, when his mother had curiously asked about their relationship."Nothing, Etienne and I are just friends, nothing more than that." That was what Altair said when asked by Lady Ingrid about their relationship. Those words struck his heart, floating in his mind until there was no room to think about anything else.That statement kept echoing in Enne's head. Although he did not want to admit it, his heart flinched when he heard Altair's words. They were already officially mates-Altair had marked it in the cave back then, a bond that Lynx said should be stronger than just friendship. But now, Enne could not ignore the strange feeling that welled up inside her. A disappointment that he found hard to understand, even ha

    That morning, the cold wind pierced the skin, embracing every inch of the village with the scent of frozen snow. Altair's house was located to the south of Enne's previous residence aka Lyra's house, standing firmly among the pine trees that were now wrapped in a white layer of snow. Inside the house, the warmth of the fireplace and the scent of burning wood enveloped the room, but Enne felt she couldn't stay there any longer.She put on the thick cream-colored coat lent to her by Altair, and without thinking, went out to the frozen river at the edge of the village. The sound of snow crunching under her boots accompanied her small steps. The snow this season was heavier than usual, forming a thick layer on the ground and making every gust of wind carry fine crystal flakes that glistened in the morning light.Reaching the riverbank, Enne stopped. The surface of the river was completely frozen, like a large, shimmering mirror. His breath formed a thin mist in the air, his eyes staring f

    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

    Enne stood by the large window, looking out at the forest that was beginning to turn its snow-white color into fresh green. Spring had come to replace the long, harsh winter, but in Enne's heart, a new season could not dispel the doubts that continued to haunt him.The snow had melted, paving the way for green shoots to emerge from the frozen ground. However, Enne felt like the ground beneath her feet was still fragile, like it might collapse at any moment. He thought of his mother, Ingrid, who lived in a small town far from here."Mom," Enne murmured softly, feeling the warmth of the call flow through her. Her mother had raised her alone, never knowing that the bigger world-the werewolf world-was Enne's new home.As a child, Enne often felt different. He wasn't like other children who played freely and laughed carefree. From an early age, Enne knew that there was something else inside him. The voices in other people's heads sometimes echoed in her mind, like whispers that couldn't be

  • IM THE LUNA   Chapter 44. New Shadows

    That morning, the warm sunlight penetrated through the cracks in the leaves, creating a golden glow along the forest floor. The atmosphere inside the Altair pack headquarters was peaceful, but the tension behind the calm was palpable. The pack members had just finished with the big celebration that celebrated Enne's appointment as their Luna. However, behind the smiles and friendly shoulder taps, there were doubts, questions, and faint whispers about the future.Inside Lyra's private room, the atmosphere was much more serious. Lyra, with a stern look and eyes full of wisdom, sat on a wooden chair. Her hand was clutching an old scroll, which seemed to have come a long way. In front of her, Altair stood tall, but his face showed deep curiosity."You wanted to talk to me this early in the morning, Lyra?" Altair opened the conversation, his voice firm yet polite.Lyra nodded slowly. "There is something you need to know, Altair. I've kept it to myself for too long, but I feel it's time."A

    The forest that night was filled with the soft light of the full moon, its rays piercing the leaves and creating a silvery glow on the ground. The entire Altair pack was busy preparing for the grand ceremony to adopt Enne as Luna. This was not just a tradition, but an official recognition that Enne was now the Alpha's mate, she would be responsible for the welfare and future of the entire pack.Enne stood in a small room filled with the scent of wildflowers and spices. Stella was busy helping to put Luna's traditional robes on her. The robe was long, made of white silk with gold embroidery in the shape of a crescent moon and a wolf on the edges. Enne looked nervous. She had never been the center of attention like this before, let alone in such an important situation."Enne, you need to stand straighter," Stella said with a smile, tugging gently on the collar of the robe to make it look neat. "You're going to be Luna, the symbol of strength and hope for the entire pack. Don't let them

  • IM THE LUNA   Chapter 42. Steps to Luna's Throne

    The morning breeze slipped through the open window, carrying the cold scent of the snow-drenched forest. Enne sat on the edge of the balcony of the main house, letting the cold gusts of air tickle his skin. Although this morning looked so peaceful, his mind was far from calm.Over the past three days, the atmosphere in the pack had changed. The members treated Enne with a different kind of respect. The omegas were busy planning the inauguration, the warriors were watching her movements more closely, and even the pack kids were running up to her, calling out to her in respectful tones."Luna," they said, small voices full of awe.Enne smiled at them, but the smile never reached her eyes. Her heart sank into an increasingly suffocating indecision. Lynx, her inner wolf, tried to soothe her from within, but even Lynx's soft voice was not enough to dispel the heavy feeling weighing Enne down."All of this is natural. You are the Moon Goddess' choice, Enne. Believe in yourself," Lynx whispe

    The morning sun had just revealed itself, illuminating the forest that seemed to have just awakened from the darkness of the night. Dew still hung on the leaves, reflecting the sunlight in golden colors. In one corner of the pack, Altair was standing by a small stream, his eyes fixed on the frozen water.He seemed lost in thought, thinking about something that was difficult to put into words. Feelings of guilt and doubt were slowly eating away at him, especially after all the events involving the man named Andhara and the past that came back to haunt him.Soft steps could be heard approaching him. Without turning his head, Altair knew who was coming."Altair," Enne's soft voice broke the silence.Altair turned his head slowly, his gaze soft but thoughtful. "Are you awake?"Enne nodded, then stood beside him. He looked at the same object, but his mind drifted elsewhere. After a while, she finally said, "I'm still thinking about what I saw... in Andhara's mind."Altair furrowed his brow

    The sky was beginning to turn golden when Lyra arrived at the courtyard of Altair's pack. Her steps were soft, but every movement exuded an authority that made everyone around fall silent. The pack members who happened to be on the move stopped for a moment, paying their respects to the old woman.However, Lyra's attention was only on one thing: her granddaughter, Enne.Enne, who was sitting on the veranda with Stella, immediately got up upon seeing the figure she missed so much. Her eyes widened, her breath caught, and without thinking, she ran to Lyra."Grandma!" she exclaimed in a voice full of emotion.Lyra smiled gently, opening her arms to welcome Enne's embrace. When her grandson's tiny body landed in her arms, Lyra stroked Enne's hair with deep affection."I'm back, my dear," Lyra said, her voice full of warmth.Enne hugged her tightly, as if he didn't want to let go. Tears streamed down her cheeks. "I missed you so much, Gran. I... I was afraid something would happen to you t

    When everything seemed to be calming down, the emergency bell suddenly rang. Altair and Stella ran straight to the main courtyard, where the warriors had gathered."What's wrong?" asked Altair in a loud voice.One of the warriors replied, "We found a trail of rogues near the border! The numbers are small, but they're moving fast."Altair clenched his fist. "Prepare the team. We can't let them go any further."Stella interjected, "I'll come with you."Altair nodded, and the two of them immediately led the warriors towards the border.Upon arriving there, they found five rogues lurking. Altair instantly transformed into his great white wolf, leading the charge without hesitation. Stella followed behind him, making sure none of the enemies escaped.The battle was short but intense. The rogues seemed well-trained, but Altair and Stella's power as Alphas was too much to resist.When it was all over, Altair stood in the center of the battlefield, his body riddled with minor wounds that soon

    Altair stood on the sill of the large window of his room, looking out over the forest covered in morning mist. His mind was still dwelling on one name: Dawn. That name carried not only memories, but also wounds that had yet to fully heal. After hearing Enne's confession the night before, her heart was filled with feelings that were difficult to express."How did Andhara know that name?" muttered Altair softly, almost inaudibly.The door to the room opened slowly. Stella stepped in with a serious expression, unlike usual. The girl always seemed to relax or even tease Altair with her little taunts, but this time she was just as agitated."You're not asleep yet, Altair?" asked Stella, her voice soft yet firm.Altair shook his head. "It's hard to sleep after hearing that name. Dawn..."Stella pulled out a wooden chair near Altair's desk and sat down. She looked at Altair intently before finally saying, "We need to talk seriously about this. I can't stop thinking about it since last night

    Morning greeted Pack Altair with an astonishing silence. After the brutal attack the night before, the warriors and other pack members were busy tending to their wounds. Healers and omegas were hard at work, making sure all the wounded received adequate care. However, amidst the hustle and bustle, two figures stood tall without needing assistance-Altair and Stella.As Alphas, both possessed extraordinary regeneration abilities that allowed their wounds to heal in a matter of hours. But there was no time for relief. Altair's mind was still filled with questions about the rogue attack and the motives behind it.On the other hand, Enne sat on the terrace of the healer's house. His face was pale, but his mind was in turmoil. She knew that what she was about to tell Altair could change everything. With Lynx slowly recovering, Enne felt a greater responsibility to tell what she knew.***Altair found Enne a short while later. He approached the girl with steady steps, Stella was behind him,
