Chloe held her burning cheek with mortified tears circling in her eyes.“W—Why did you hit me!”She cried, humiliated.“We are practically sisters! We both have the last name Ravenwood! You should be hugging me and helping me instead!”Morgana snorted, “Are you deaf? I just said it. Your beloved par
Aurora stood reluctantly by the door, keeping her guard up.Just then, Damien stood up from his seat. He was sitting at the opposite end of the long table facing Silas.He held out his hand to Aurora with a warm smile.Aurora’s heart was immediately set at ease. She walked up to Damien and took her
She picked up her knife from the table, holding it up.People winced away in panic seeing her do that.“We don’t know what kind of a freak show that you have going on here. But eventually, we will find a way to kill you.”Aurora pointed the knife at Silas, her voice freezing cold.“Even if we can’t
There was a short, astonished silence.Then the entire hall fell into chaos.Most people jumped up from their seats, backing away from Damien in horror.Danton gritted his teeth and dashed at Damien. Yet he got stopped by Aurora before he could get to Damien.Aurora raised a leg and kicked him on hi
Aurora was right about that presumption.On the following day, Chloe sent a maid to Aurora’s room and invited her to a small gathering.“And what is this gathering for?”Aurora asked the maid. She was sitting in front of the dresser, brushing her long hair.“M—Miss Chloe said that it is a beautiful
The water was freezing cold. Aurora felt a chill traveling through her body almost immediately.Fortunately, she held her breath as soon as she dropped out of the boat, so she didn’t chock on water.Swinging her arms and kicking her legs in water, Aurora tried to swim up to the water surface to get
Kaelan and Morgana were…mates?Aurora was shocked.She glanced at Kaelan and found a horror-struck expression on his face as well.Their destined mates were assigned by the Moon Goddess and there was absolutely no logic and reasonings behind the system.Anyone could be possible.The match could be t
When Aurora was back to their suite, she found a few maids and servants gathered by the door.There was a frightened look on their face. They were all whispering in an urgent voice.Aurora stopped and hid behind the corner, listening quietly to what they were saying.“Are you serious?” one maid gasp
“ENOUGH.”Damien spoke up and silenced the whole crowd.“There was no point arguing about this.” He said in a cold voice, “Take these cookies and cake to the lab and see if there is any peanut in it. The truth will speak for itself.”The soldiers received his order and hurried out of the lounge agai
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
