(Migumi’s POV)My heart swelled with relief as I watched Aiden approach his father's bedside. King Arthur, who had been pale and listless just days ago, now beamed a genuine smile, his eyes sparkling with life.Just a few minutes ago, he was almost at the brink of death. Now, he looks full of life more than ever."Father," Aiden whispered, his voice thick with emotion. "You look...amazing."King Arthur chuckled, a sound that was music to our ears. "I feel amazing, son. It's like a new lease on life." He gestured to me, making my face flushed with a mixture of exhaustion and triumph. "All thanks to this incredible woman."Aiden turned to me, his eyes filled with an intensity that made my breath catch. "Migumi," he breathed, his voice husky with gratitude. "You saved him. You're a miracle worker."Still recovering from the grueling night I spent concocting the cure, I blushed deeper. "It wasn't just me, Aiden," I insisted, my gaze flickering to the pack's healer, who stood quietly in th
(Migumi’s POV)It’s already dark outside when Aiden came back to our chambers after a long day of dealing with the plague. I worked with the pack healer to make more medicine with my blood. We were able to make enough for the entire population of infected people.However, I’m not sure if our help was able to reach those who are blinded by Prince Anthony’s light. I heard about how these people are worshiping him now. They would go as far as giving their lives just to save him.Prince Anthony is officially wanted in the Kingdom. The guards were trying their best to catch him, but the people were consistent in guarding him day and night.They couldn't hurt the civilians though because of Prince Aiden’s reminder. He doesn't want anyone to get hurt. That's why he told his guards to not touch, not even a strand of their hair. After all, they are the ones we’re trying to protect from Prince Anthony. It’s only right that we put them first.“How is the plague?” I asked, my voice soft. He sat o
(Migumi’s POV)As the plague finally ceased its relentless spread, Aiden and I refused to let our guard down. We knew that only by uncovering the source of the plague could we truly resolve the problem.We carefully pondered our next steps, our minds racing through the events leading up to the outbreak.Suddenly, an idea sparked my mind. I remember Aiden telling me this after Beta Marvin reported about spying on Prince Anthony for a week."Aiden," I said, my voice thoughtful. "Do you remember Prince Anthony? Marvin said he often wandered alone in the secluded palace garden before the plague started."His brows furrowed. "Yes, I do. He seemed to spend a lot of time there. Do you think it means something?" he asked, his voice laced with doubt.I nodded slowly. "It's worth investigating. We don't know what we’ll find if we don't try.”Aiden nodded his head, tucking me under the covers. He pulled me closer, the warmth of our bodies pressed together. My mind began to relax as the loud thou
(Dianne’s POV)“N—No… No… Please! Spare me! Plea—acckkkk!!!”I watched as my puppets torture and tear apart the captured stubborn warrior wolf from Migumi's team until his body is completely destroyed. The poor creature's agonizing howls echoed through the forest, a lullaby to my ears. His blood slowly spreads to the ground, the soil absorbing him dry. He’s still screaming despite the continuous tearing of his skin from his bones.But I know for sure that no matter how loud he gets, no one would ever find him in this deep, dark cave.And even if they do, it would be too late.He’d be nothing but bones and chunks of meat“You…” I looked at the smaller puppet watching his fellow puppets devour the dead warrior. He looked at me, his eyes as dark as the night. His drooling mouth tells me that he’s hungry for me. “Recognize Migumi’s scent and hunt her down. I want her dead.”With a malevolent grin, I sent the smaller puppet ahead to kill Migumi. He howled, disappearing through the darkness
(Migumi’s POV)After that incident with the mysterious creatures, our group became more vigilant than ever. The surprise attack made us slower with almost the majority of them limping. We had to take a few breaks to give them ample rest.I wanted to just go alone, and just take James with me and a few volunteers. But after what happened, James made sure that we stick together.He said that even though I’m their leader, I’m still Luna. He mentioned that the royal werewolf prince would surely send them to their death once something bad happens to me.A part of me believes that he’s just making an excuse.The truth is… he appreciated me after what I did to save them. I didn't run away. I didn't hide away. I stood my ground and fought.Or maybe it’s just me? Damn it. Nyx keeps inserting all these ridiculous thoughts inside my head.‘Don’t blame me for your own delusions.’I rolled my eyes when I heard her complaining inside my head.Honestly, it’s not that impossible. We literally share o
(Aiden’s POV)It has been a week since Migumi’s departure, and it has been hellish in the Kingdom since then. The werewolves once healed by Prince Anthony began dying one after another. Their bodies, after a brief recovery, suddenly collapsed, and died shortly after.The first to fall was the son of Gamma Rafael. He was among the strongest, his recovery from Anthony’s medicine was what pushed the people to believe in his cure. But one morning, he didn't rise from his bed. His breathing was shallow, and his skin had taken on a pallid, almost translucent hue.By the time the royal healer reached him, he was already gone."No... no, no, no," Gamma Rafael whispered, his voice cracking as he knelt beside his lifeless body. The other werewolves gathered around, their faces a mix of fear and confusion. I placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, his eyes dark with worry."This shouldn't be happening," Gamma Rafael said, his voice barely above a whisper. "He was getting better. They were all
(Migumi’s POV)In the depths of the forest, shadows danced beneath the thick canopy as my werewolf team and I engaged in a deadly battle against the puppets controlled by Dianne. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and blood from our fallen warriors. Dianne’s malevolence spread like an invisible net over the forest.Dianne is here. My wolf can smell her scent. She’s near. She’s probably somewhere hiding in the dark bushes and watching us.I have to be vigilant. She must be observing, waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack.“Watch out!” James alerted, his eyes filled with worry while holding puppets himself.I immediately swung my sword when I heard an incoming attack from behind. My weapon brutally pierced the puppet’s chest, dark blood coming out of its mouth. Its lifeless body dropped on the ground.I didn't even have enough time to recover because more of those puppets came rushing to attack me.I fought valiantly, my sword flashing in the dim light as I slashed a
(Aiden’s POV)‘Chase her!’I watched at the disappearing figure of Dianne escaping in the darkness. My instincts screamed at me to chase after Dianne, but I hesitated, my gaze shifting to my unconscious mate.She lays among the fallen bodies of the werewolf squad members, and Tara's lifeless form lay beside her.Tara… Tara’s dead.Shit.“No, we need to make sure our mate is safe first,” I said, making my wolf hissed in frustration. I glanced at my Beta who is helping in clearing the puppets that are coming out way. “Catch her…” I ordered.Beta Marvin didn't waste any time, and went after the spot where Dianne had disappeared.I hurried to Migumi’s side. Her condition is visibly deteriorating, her breaths are shallow and labored. I couldn't contain my worry as I carry her in my arms."Love..." I began, my voice choked with unspeakable pain.I should have come sooner. This wouldn't have happened if I insisted on coming with her. I shouldn't have let her go here alone.My heart skipped a
(Migumi’s POV)[5 Years Later]The entire kingdom is gathered in the grand courtyard today to celebrate our son’s birthday. The setup was as extravagant as his spirit with an orchestra band playing live in the corner, and a series of different cuisines to choose from.Aiden and I decided to do a mass potluck for everyone to enjoy. Everyone is welcome to celebrate with us, even the commoners.My mate stands beside me, his hand resting lightly on my back. He smiles, his eyes crinkling at the corners, and I can't help but mirror his joy. He's a proud father, and seeing Kai surrounded by so much love fills him with a warmth that radiates outside."He's growing up so fast," Aiden murmurs, his voice barely audible over the din.I nod, a bittersweet pang in my chest.It feels like just yesterday when I was still cradling him in my arms like a tiny bundle of wonder. Now, he's a boisterous boy, running around, being friendly with everyone. It's something he learned from Aiden."He's a good boy
(Migumi’s POV)[Five Years Later]My lips curved into a smile as the polished marble floors of the hallway echo with the sound of our son’s laughter. It sounded joyous, cutting through the quiet hum of the castle.Aiden and I exchange a knowing smile, our hearts swelling with a warmth that only a parent can understand. Our son, Kai, is like a symbol of luck as he runs around the castle, his tiny legs pumping as he races down the hallway. And just like the usual scenarios, the servants are struggling to keep up with him again."Kai!" Aiden calls out, his voice booming with amusement.I watched him intercepts our son, scooping him up into his arms. Kai squeals with delight, his laughter erupting like a cascade of tiny bells. I look at them, a smile playing on my lips. Aiden sets Kai down, his hand resting gently on his son’s shoulder."You're getting quite the reputation for being a mischievous little sprite," Aiden says, his tone laced with affection.Kai giggles, his eyes sparkling wi
It is an afternoon of breeze, meaning she does her gardening and is enjoying it very much.The smell of freshly turned earth and blooming roses fills my nostrils as I kneel, carefully pruning the overgrown lavender bushes.A shadow falls over me, and I look up to see Aiden standing there, a hesitant smile on his face."Migumi," he starts his voice low. "I have something to tell you."My heart does a little jump. This is what I have been waiting for, to hear from him what he has found out. "What is it, Aiden?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper."The elders," he says, his eyes shining with a newfound hope, "they're finally willing to accept us."A wave of relief washes over me, as it has been in my hopes for this day, hoping someday I'd be accepted into our community. My lips curve into a wide smile, and before I know it, I throw my arms around him, burying my face into his chest."Oh, Aiden," I whisper, choked with emotion. "I'm so happy for you."He holds me close. I feel his arm
(Migumi’s POV)The sound of people's laughs and gratefulness was something that reminds me of the good decision I made for them.Elders of the pack, especially those who were responsible for the finances of the entire pack didn't agree with my plan to distribute bags of gold to the werewolves. They argue that it would ruin the natural order of the economy.“Are you happy?” I asked my mate who is currently busy taking care of the people.She glanced at me and smiled.“Of course!”My lips curved into a smile. I wanted to ask more, but I didn't want to burden her anymore, so I just stayed out of her business.I was leaning against the wall, watching her when Beta Marvin suddenly came to me.“Your Majesty, the Elders would like to remind you of your conference with them,” he reported. My brows arched. I*****The heavy oak door of the council office creaks open, and I step inside. The Elders are seated around a massive table, their faces etched with years of wisdom and power.I feel a kno
(Migumi’s POV)I woke up to the sound of someone's gentle voice pulling me out from my deep sleep. When I opened my eyes to confirm if it was the love of my life, I proved myself correct. “Migumi…”His voice was so soft as his hand gently shook my shoulder. I stir, my eyelids heavy with sleep.I groan, burying my face deeper into the pillow. “Five more minutes,” I mumble.For some reason, I felt comfortable to act like a teenager being woken up by her parents. I dare to request for another minute and more, thinking that I don't have to be so hard on myself anymore.We're safe.“You’ve been asleep for hours,” he says, his hand lingering on my shoulder.I open my eyes, blinking against the light. Aiden’s face is a blur of concern. “What time is it?” I ask, my voice thick with sleep.“It’s almost noon,” he says. “We need to get ready for the feast.”I sit up, pulling the blanket tighter around me. My head is pounding. I feel like I’ve been running a marathon in my sleep.Then, it hit me.
(Migumi’s POV)"It was Diana," she says, her voice barely a whisper. "She tricked me. She made me do it."I watch her, my heart a lead weight in my chest. I know Charlotte,That's something that doesn't surprise me anymore. Diana has always been cunning and deceitful. And I know that Charlotte capable of making mistakes, of being manipulated, but this… this is different.She was a very easy target."You were scared of her," I say, my voice low and steady. "You were scared because she threatened you when you wanted to give up the original plan."Charlotte flinches at my words, her gaze dropping to her lap. She doesn't deny it. She doesn't need to.I know the truth just like everyone else. What happened to her wasn't the first time it happened. It happened to many others before her.The truth is etched on her face, in the way her shoulders slump, in the tremor of her hands."I didn't want to do it," she whispers, her voice barely audible. "But Diana… she said she'd hurt me if I didn't."
(Migumi’s POV)We buried the little boy that same day. It was truly heartbreaking, and a lot of the healers decided to go to his funeral because he had nobody.I wish I could have done more. It feels like I failed him and myself.A part of me blames my situation, but I know for a fact that things could have gotten better if only I did everything to protect the boy.But what can I do? I am only one.The cell door clangs shut behind me, the sound echoing off the cold stone walls. In my hand is a plate full of prison food. This is actually better than the ones common prisoners receive.I learned from the guards that Charlotte is trying to kill herself by starving. She has refused to eat anything since Prince Anthony’s defeat.I guess she was hoping that she could free herself by being loyal to them.This should be the time for her to repent.I stopped in front of her cell, my expression blank and emotionless.Charlotte sits in the corner, a hunched figure shrouded in shadows. Beside her
(Migumi’s POV)The love we shared last night must have been one of the most amazing things that I experienced these last few days.It’s been busy here in the Kingdom. The healers are still in the process of catering the infected werewolves, but I could tell that they're getting better. I have received many grateful messages from people. It feels nice to hear them finally able to accept me as their Luna.Well, it’s not really everyone. There are still some Elders who are demanding that I leave my position. They still don't think I deserve to be here.It was probably due to the fact that the Legend told them bad things about the moonwolf.I have already debunked that, and it’s up to them whether they're going to believe it or not.As long as I know that I’m doin anything to hurt anyone, I won't stop doing my responsibilities as a Luna. The world deserves a savior.“Where are you going?” Aiden asked, scratching his eyes.He just woke up from his sleep. I was trying not to make a sound to
(Migumi’s POV)Without second thoughts, he pulled my legs towards him, sliding them on his sides. I moaned after my private part bumped on his bulge.I excitedly looked at him, feeling more hornier than ever. He gave me a stare that could make anyone wet themselves.“You're so hot,” he whispered in between his hot breaths.I plastered a seductive smirk on my face, feeling his warmth in between my legs.“I know,” I replied, a hint of confidence in my voice. I began gliding myself to his growing bulge. It made him bite his lower lip, while making sure not to break eye contact with me. “Pull those pants down. I missed that little guy.”I watched him unbuckle his belt like a hungry child waiting for her milk.My eyes lit up as soon as it was just his boxer left to cover his private part. I took the initiative to take it down from its hiding spot. I gasped when it sprung out like a toy. It’s very hard and long. It’s almost the same size as a bat.How do I fit that inside of me?“Are you sc
