(Migumi’s POV)I stood before the ancient murals, my fingers tracing the intricate carvings that adorned the walls. The symbols aren't just random markings—they were a language, a code waiting to be deciphered.I felt a pulse of energy beneath my fingertips as I touched each one, a subtle hum that resonated with something deep inside me.“These symbols… they’re alive,” I whispered to myself, my voice barely audible in the silence of the ruins.It felt oddly familiar.I know to myself that this is the first time I have seen these symbols, but a part of me seems to understand their meanings.In the corner of the mural, a detailed illustration caught my eye. It depicts a ritual, its steps carefully laid out, requiring specific items that can only be found in the magical forest. They were drawn and I remember encountering some of them on our way here.I studied the illustration, my eyes narrowing as I
(Migumi’s POV)Without warning, the phantom wolf strikes, moving like a shadow as a blur of black lightning streaks across the room. I prepared myself as its glowing eyes embers in the darkness, locked onto me with deadly intent.“I don't want to die, Migumi!” Nyx shouted nervously.The beast lunges into thin air, its jaws snapping shut with a force that could shatter bone.I snarled.“Don't worry. I don't have plans of dying either,” I said as I leaped away from the spot that the phantom wolf had targeted. But to my surprise, its sharp claws caught my arm, shifting me back to my human form.“What happened?!” I frustratingly asked Nyx who seemed just as confused as me.“I… I don't know! I think he has the ability to block your shifting,” she said, making me curse mentally. “I’m sorry, but I think you're going to have to fight it in your human form. Don't worry. I
(Migumi’s POV)“We actually did it. I can't believe it!!!” my wolf chirped in excitement. I smiled despite the throbbing pain I’m feeling all over my body.I have to say that fighting that beast took me a lot of effort. I could have died.I slumped against the cool stone wall of the ancient ruins, feeling the weight of the battles pressing down on my shoulders. I closed my eyes for a moment, allowing myself to breathe.“What comes next? We defeated the phantom wolf. It means we won in the battle of strength,” I asked Nyx, a hint of exhaustion in my voice.My wolf didn't answer. “Uhmm… I’m not sure.”I opened my eyes, my brows furrowing slightly.She's supposed to guide me, right?Nevermind. I guess, I’ll just figure it out later once I’m done resting.I was about to close my eyes again when I suddenly felt a deep rumble beneath my feet. The ground trembled slightly, and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up like it was sensing an incoming danger.Something is wrong.I pushed mysel
(Migumi’s POV)“Are we going back now?” Nyx asked, acting like she isn't supposed to be the one guiding throughout the process. I can't blame her though. It's been confusing here.I put the artifact inside my bag, glancing around. It's very dark.The only thing giving me light on this place is the faint light of the moon peeking from the broken walls.“Let's go home,” I said, turning around to go back to the cliff when I noticed something.There is no cliff.“It should be here, right?” I whispered to myself, looking around the spot where I last centered. Why is it gone? Is the test not done yet? This can't be happening.Suddenly, a faint voice called me from behind. “Migumi…”I turned to my heels, my hand grabbing the dagger in my pocket. I vigilantly glanced around, listening to the silence. I'm not alone here. Something. Someone is watching me.“Migumi&
(Migumi’s POV)Hearing his voice was like finding light in the darkness.I was just almost at the brink of giving up, but now I feel more empowered than ever.Aiden is right. I’m not alone in this fight. He’s here with me.The oppressive darkness pressed in around me as the dark version of myself continues to mock me with her insulting words. It was like a suffocating weight that sought to crush my spirit, but that didn't stop me from standing tall. Shadows began swirling inside my mind, whispering lies and mockery, amplifying my deepest fears and insecurities.It felt like a pair of hands suffocating me. I didn't know what to do. My dark side loomed before me with eyes glinting with malevolent intent.She looked like a twisted reflection of me."You are nothing," the dark version of myself hissed, her voice cold and cutting. "You’ve always been nothing—unworthy, weak, a burden. How could you ever think you’re strong enough to be a Luna?"My firsts clenched into a tight rock.Her word
(Migumi’s POV)“I’m proud of you,” my wolf said, a hint of pride in her voice. I curled my lips into a smile. She’s talking like we don't share the same body.I stood in the ruins, my chest heaving as the remains of the dark version of myself dissipated into tiny points of light. The oppressive atmosphere that had gripped me from the moment I entered this place has finally lifted, leaving behind a serene calmness that settled deep into my bones.I felt different—stronger, more in tune with the person I was meant to be.For the first time, I truly felt like I knew who I was.I barely had time to catch my breath when the light around me began to shift again. I watched, heart racing, as the scattered points of light started to gather in front of me, forming a shape.It's turning into something… a wolf.My eyes widened in awe as the light solidified into a large, majestic white wolf, its fur glowing with an ethereal radiance.The wolf’s eyes met mine, his eyes deep, golden, and ancient. T
(Migumi’s POV)I walked through the dense, magical forest, alone feeling a mixture of anxiety and excitement. I passed the test of strength—a grueling trial that pushed me to my limits, both physically and mentally.I thought about giving up countless times, but I’m just happy to be able to overcome it.Now, with the challenge behind me, I feel a renewed sense of purpose as I make my way toward the edge of the forest.Having to go through here again just to come home makes me feel sick. I can't imagine all the things I saw in this magical forest that almost stopped me from continuing further.But now, being here, there is something… different.The trees that were once dark and eerie, now seemed to glow with a bright sense of light. The twisted, gnarled branches softened, leaves shimmering in hues of emerald and gold as they swayed gently in the breeze. Even the air feels different—lighter, fragrant with the sce
(Migumi’s POV)I kneel in the soft earth, a piece of cloth spread on the ground. I’m currently picking wild mushrooms from the base of an old oak tree. Their caps are smooth and damp, a deep brown that tells me they’re safe to eat.The fox that slept with me last night was already gone when I woke up this morning.It honestly made me sad. The fox was a great silent companion. It gave me comfort for a short while. But I guess nothing stays forever. I try to push the feeling aside, focusing instead on gathering enough mushrooms to cook.It's already past noon and I haven't eaten anything yet.After gathering enough mushrooms, I went back to my spot to get it cooking. I’m sure that my wolf is famished, too. It’s been a while since we had a proper meal.“Nyx?” I reach out mentally, seeking the familiar presence of my wolf.“I’m here, Migumi,” Nyx’s voice comes through. I smiled, feeling a little better after hearing her speak. “You miss him.”I don’t need to ask who she means. Aiden’s abs
(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
