The next morning at dawn, all the troops departed from the packhouse and left for Crimson Fortress.The Fortress was about 800 miles far from the packhouse, which would take them roughly 2 days on the road.As they headed towards the north, the weather started to get colder, and the daylight shorten
A flicker of doubt appeared in Glen’s eyes.But eventually he chose to say nothing.“Other Gammas and I are cooking dinner,” Glen smiled. “You want to join us?”Aurora nodded, “Sure. You head out first. I’ll come over in just a second.”Glen waved his hands and disappeared behind the tent.“Listen,”
They locked eyes for a few seconds and Aurora reacted first. She jumped at him, kicked off his knife and tackled him to the ground. Kaelan let out a painful gasp as Aurora twisted his arm to his back.“Aurora! It’s me!” Kaelan cried.“I know it’s you!” Aurora hissed, “What are you doing by my bed si
His voice was low and only the two of them heard what he said.Shock flickered across Aurora’s eyes once she heard what he said, “Seriously? I didn’t suspect that person for a single second. Do you have any proofs?”“No. Which is why we want him to get sloppy and give himself away.”“But how are we
Everyone looked at each other with an astonished face.“Well, this is a bit sudden,” Glen said. “Are we just going to march towards its front gate like that? Don’t we need to at least work out a plan?”“It is why we came this far. I am good with tonight,” Maxie said firmly.She was infuriated by wha
It was a long and deep wolf howl followed by the noise of a large group fighting.“It’s from the North Gate!” Rivena snapped her head towards Aurora, “Gamma Aurora! What do we do?”Even till this point, none of them knew what the battle plan was, except for Aurora.They weren’t sure whether they sho
“IMPOSSIBLE—”Sterning was in the middle of a furious roar when his body became stiff abruptly.Slowly, he looked down to his own chest.A wolf paw had stuck into his chest. Steaming blood gushing out from this lethal wound.Sterning rounded his eyes slightly. Everything happened too fast. He did no
Aurora tightened her grip mercilessly.With a snapping sound, the rogue was broke. He was dead almost instantly.Aurora gave one cold look at his body and gazed into the distance.The Rogue King could be anywhere now.He, or she, could still be in the city. Or already fled away.Yet Aurora would hav
Damien narrowed his eyes. “Are you telling me how to rule my kingdom?”Ellington’s mouth dropped open, “No…Of course not…I wouldn’t dare…”“And it makes me wonder why you are targeting Lady Kurt.” Damien let out a snort, “You wouldn’t think that you will naturally become Luna once I punish Lady Kurt
“Aspen…ASPEN!”Aurora took the boy in her arms and cried, “Bring the car! To the hospital NOW!”Some people hurried to bring over a car.Gabriel shivered by Aurora’s side. “H—He was alright just a second ago…What happened? Is it…poison?”“Allergy.” Aurora gritted. “Aspen is allergic to peanuts!”The
There were only 3 days left before Aspen chose the final 3.So every lady was out there doing their best to win over the boy’s heart.Some of them brought Aspen handmade cookies; some tried to buy him off with expensive jewelries; one lady even hired an entire circus to the packhouse just to make th
Damien widened his eyes.He saw a woman’s face, which was covered by dreadful burns and scars.Her skin got licked by flames so hard that it was almost impossible to recognize her original features.This was not the scene that he expected to see when he removed that mask.The room lapsed into a deat
Damien’s breathing quickened.That woman…how dared she lie to him!And most importantly, why would she hide her real identity?Who was she, really?Damien ended the phone call and went back to the dining hall.He took a deep look at the woman sitting next to Aspen. She was still wearing that mask ev
The elder cleared his throat awkwardly.He wanted to rule out Janine Kurt as well.But the King clearly said that he wanted her to stay. He didn’t show as much interest to the other ladies, only to this one.As astonishing and ridiculous as it might seem, this Janine Kurt might actually be the winne
During the next couple of days, Damien was busy meeting up with the other Luna candidates.Aurora was glad that he was preoccupied with other things and couldn’t badger her with insane questions anymore.She went into the packhouse during the day to spend time with Aspen. And during the night, she h
The tension between them started to build up again.“No.”Aspen replied loudly, “I don’t want to go to your orchard.”Blanc and Gabriel let out a sigh of relief.Ellington looked super embarrassed.“Are you sure? It will be fun. I bet that you have never been to a private orchard opened up just for
They ran down the path through the garden and saw Aspen collapsed on the ground not so far from here.The boy rubbed his forehead, with tears circling in his eyes.Standing in front of the boy was Lady Ellington.Aurora rushed to hold the boy in her arms. “Aspen! What happened?”Aspen twitched his l
