There was a short moment of silence.Then Damien spoke up with a tight frown, “We don’t know if that will help us find Aurora.”“But we gotta try!” Morgana balled her fists, saying hastily. “The Lycans apparently don’t want a Werewolf King. Why? Because the Werewolf King is the only person who has t
Morgana cried back, “We don’t know! Nobody here has ever become King before!”Damien arched his back in pain.He opened his mouth.A deafening howl escaped his lips.He shifted into a giant black wolf—even larger than his original size—and the light within his body grew brighter.With a booming nois
Aurora’s back became stiff.Slowly, she turned around to face him.“You have been watching me the whole time?” she asked in a cold voice.Westin gave her a crooked smile, “I didn’t want to stop you from your daily exercise. You have slept for days. It is good to stretch out a bit.”Aurora suppressed
This time, Aurora was granted the chance to sit in the passenger’s seat.She peered out of the car window.The winding mountain road clung to the slopes like a serpentine ribbon, carrying them further into the heart of the majestic peaks.The air grew crisper, and the scent of pine trees mingled wit
Agnes’s body trembled on the ground.She stared at Aurora as though she was some sort of a monster.“Agnes!”Westin rushed to help Agnes up. He touched her shoulder to make sure that she didn’t have a broken bone and then cried out to the others, “Get Lady Agnes to the medical room!”Servants rushed
Aurora let out a sign internally.“You don’t want my instruction. Fine. Go out there and see how many days you can last in this castle. You will come back and beg for my advice in the end,” he said in a rather condescending tone.Aurora rolled her eyes, “Are we finished here? Where is the dining hal
People exchanged looks in silence.“There is a problem,” said a deep voice from the crowd.A middle-aged man stood up from the long table in the middle. He had dark curly hair and thick beard, dressed in grey cloak.“And that problem is?” Aurora asked.“You are not mated to the King yet. You haven’t
Aurora nodded.No wonder there were 3 long tables in this dining hall.Each house had its designated section.Agnes went around introducing all the girls and then turned back to Aurora, “I just received a message from the King. There will be a Spring Ball in 5 days, a perfect opportunity for you to
“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
