She stepped back as he approached. He shouldn't have known about her being mated to someone else. She had previously told him that she wasn't interested in being his bride, but now she had confided in him that she had agreed to become Luna of the werewolf pack.

"I really don't know how to break it to you. I was aware that you would be upset," she clarified.

She felt a chill as she looked into his icy gaze and instinctively stepped back. He kept advancing, causing her to retreat until she was backed up against the wall of the building. He pushed his hand against the wall, trapping her between his body and the hard surface. She braced herself for what was to come, raising her hand in defense.

Her heart was pounding in her chest as she closed her eyes, unable to meet his gaze. She couldn't stop thinking about what he might do to her for rejecting him and choosing Adrian instead. She could feel his warm breath on her face as he leaned in closer, and then his breath on her neck.

    Luna looked up as she heard footsteps approaching, taking her focus away from her own thoughts. The sound grew louder, prompting her to turn back to Ashford. His eyes were locked on her with intensity."Before he gets here, you should leave, or..." Her voice trailed off, and she seemed hesitant."Exposed?" Ashford asked, looking at her knowingly. "Are you worried he'll find out that you're also associated with a vampire?"Luna looked away, finding it difficult to admit that she wanted him to leave to protect her hidden secrets. He had a remarkable talent for detecting when she was lying."What happens if he catches sight of me?""I can't say," she replied.Ashford's touch was gentle as he cupped her face, his gaze unwaveringly locked onto hers. Luna maintained eye contact, her gaze tracing the path his eyes took from her own to her nose, lips, and finally her neck."You inquired about whether I could mark you, didn't you?"Luna remained silent, allowing him to continue, his voice a so

    "No." He answered her question. "A girl once died taking the test; it was too painful for her to endure. Ever since then, not everyone takes the test, and ever since my teaching, no one has finished the intense torture.""Torture?""Yes. They only pass through a step, and we already find out which element suits them.""Including Alphas?" Luna asked."Yes." Merlion answered. "Alphas do pass through two levels. They are stronger than ordinary werewolves.""What levels do you think I would stop at?""One," Merlion said."Like the others?""Yes.""I don't think so." She said."What?""I said I don't think so."Merlion opened the last door and stepped in. Luna followed suit. The room was bright, and all the elements were lined up parallel to each other. The earth was facing water, and the brightness of the room was reflected in the water. The water was made into a ball and was floating above a stand and rolling. The fire, on the other hand, was like a ball; it was shining in the opposite d

    TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter contains torture.Luna's arms spread wide by themselves, and she tried to resist the urge to pull herself down. Merlion had told her she was not going to be able to think or say anything; only her eyes and lips were going to be able to move.She was pulled into the center of the room again. Amber lights began surrounding her; some danced on the walls. Casting eerie shadows that seem to writhe like living creatures. In the center of the room, the fire element dispatched itself from the rest of the elements. Flames began to build up, followed by heat. The heat surrounded her. Her body twirled as the heat became unbearable for her to bear.The flames circled around her and engulfed her. The flames did not consume her; they danced around her in intricate patterns, sizzling and hissing as they touched her flesh. Her screams pierced the air. The scream was so loud that it echoed off the walls. The glass windows scattered because of the scream.Tears streamed do

    Neon helped him pour the water on his face as he wiped it. A frown was still on his face. The first thing they had to do was release his mother from her room. His lips curled up into a smile. He couldn't wait to see her reaction."What's next? I will release your mother and act like someone locked her in there." Neon asked, giving a face towel to Ashford.Ashford collected it and began wiping his face. "Yes. Make sure she does not figure out you were the one who locked her in the first place.""If I let her know, she might shove a knife down my throat and do worse to you." Neon finished his thought."No, she would know I sent you even though I clearly didn't. I will wait at the throne like the good boy she wants me to be," Ashford said, mockery evident in his voice."I will get going then," Neon said.Neon turned around to leave, and he opened the door. Paused and glanced back at Ashford through his shoulders."And make sure you don't kill anyone."Ashford nodded and waved his hand to

    "Adrian, have you seen Luna?"Adrian glanced at her through his shoulders. "No, not a sight of her."Phoebe hurried in front of her brother, who was packing his bag. Luna's bag was hanging in his back; he still hadn't checked what was in there. She wondered what had happened to Luna when she couldn't be found."Have you seen her since we got here?""No." Tristan answered for Adrian. "After she left with Merlion, we haven't heard a word from her."Phoebe's brows furrowed. "Her screams broke all the windows at the academy.""That's not possible." Adrian interjected. "She looks so calm, and I don't know her capacity yet.""True," Tristan said.Phoebe frowned. "Idiots, when you underwent the test, I also heard you scream, especially the scream of Trevor."Trevor, who was reading a book, stopped, took down the book, and glanced at her at the mention of his name."Hey, that's unfair. You can't call me weak.""Why not?" Phoebe said. 'You might be weak but gorgeous.' She waved her head and sn

    "What do you mean?" Ashford asked. "You saw her naked?" Neon gulped audibly. "I wanted to tell you slowly." "You wanted to tell me that you saw my mother naked and in bed with a man?" Neon nodded. "Not just any man; Diana’s father." Ashford paced to and fro. His mother had always wanted him to marry Diana, and now she was caught having sex with Diana’s father without even attempting to hide it. She was courageously asking him if they could have a trio with his best friend. A frown creased his forehead. There was more to the story, and he knew it. His mother had taken Diana in after her mother's death. Evelyn had taken perfect care of Diana, treating her like her own daughter the same way she treated him. When Diana's mother died, he took her in as his sister. He had taken great care of her until he discovered she was in love with him. He wasn't sure if it was love or a craving for power, but she had manipulated his mother into arranging her marriage to him. Now that he had found h

    "No Ashford, stop! What has he done to you?" Evelyn asked coming in between them. "What is wrong with you?"Ashford turned around and glared at her. "I see what is happening here."Evelyn glared back at him and rushed over to help Rowan up. Ashford glared at her, angry at the fact that his mother was showing concern for someone when she clearly didn’t do any of that to him. He watched in irritation as his mother helped Rowan up and started to lead him towards a chair."Where are you taking him? I am not done with him." Ashford roared.Evelyn glanced back at him. "He is going to be your father soon when you get married to Diana.""No, he won’t be my father because I can’t marry his daughter and you also can’t marry him."At the mention of Evelyn getting married to Rowan, she dropped him to the floor and rushed towards her son. They were standing nose to nose, even though Ashford was taller than his mother, he bent to her height."I told you not to speak to me that way!" She yelled."An

    Alpha Dean's stern voice echoed through the clearing, his words laced with authority. "Your matebrought at threat to our pack, even though she fixed everything. She can't change the fact that she is still a danger to this pack. Hybrids are forbidden, and I am already doing her a favor by sparing her the dungeon," he declared.Ashford instinctively pulled Luna closer, shielding her with his protective embrace. "No one is taking her to the dungeon. If you all don't want her, I can take her," he asserted, his voice firm with conviction."Fine," Alpha Dean conceded, his tone relenting slightly. "As long as she is far away from this pack, I have no problem with it."Luna's eyes welled with tears, her vision blurring as Alpha Dean's harsh words pierced her heart. The possibility of leaving her father and venturing into the unknown was daunting."Dean, let's think this through. You can't send her to the dungeon, and you also can't cast her away," Bartram pleaded, his voice trembling with desp

    Monsell peered at her. "Do we have a deal?""Luna glanced at the staff and then looked at Adrian, who was shaking his head and asking her not to hand the staff over to him. Luna stared at Monsell; if she refused to give him the staff, he was going to keep on using Ashford's body.Giving him the staff was going to be a waste; Ashford won't want her handing the staff to him."We have no deal; I am not giving you the staff, but you are letting go of him."Monsell's lips curled up into a sinister smile. ",Already making the wrong decision?"Luna's brows furrowed at him, and she gripped tightly to the staff until her knuckles turned white."I have always made the right decision; you are going to let go of him."Luna lunged at Monsell, attacking him with a kick. He dove away with a wide grin on his face. Luna realized that if she fought Monsell, she was only hurting Ashford's body.She paused, looking at Monsell as he stood next to her. An idea popped into her head."You want the staff, don'

    Ashford led the way towards the pack; Luna was by his side while Bartram and Ashford were walking behind them. Luna clutched tightly to her staff, even though they were heading to the pack to stop Monsell. Luna felt uneasy; the man was out there using her powers, and he even shifted his shape to look like her.She promised herself to get rid of him as soon as possible. Soon they were standing in between the borders. The border between Cruster Toon and Lunar Crest There were several dead bodies laying on the floor. Guilt gnawed at Luna's conscience as she stared at the lifeless bodies. The weight of responsibility hung heavy on her shoulders, her heart burdened by the knowledge that their deaths were a consequence of her existence. If she hadn't been born or if she had been killed alongside her mother, Everyone would be safe; no one would be dead.The snarling of the creatures could be heard, followed by the growling of a wolf. The battle seems hard, and Luna couldn't wait for it to sto

    "What do we do?" Luna questioned. "We have to find something that could harm Monsell. The last time I tried to hurt him, I couldn't hurt him. He placed a metal bar in my arm, and I am sure he might have something hidden on me."Ashford glanced at her, and he placed a hand on her hand. "Calm down; we will be fine, I promise."She offered him a warm smile, even though her smile was shaking. She placed her head on his; they were taking a ride to the pack. It was far away, and they didn't want to run all the way. The Monsells had horses, and when they found the horses, the horses were terrified. Thanks to Luna, the horses were able to let them take them.They were sitting in the carriage, and Neon and Bartarm were sitting on a horse outside the carriage. Luna and Bartram were left to stay inside, Luna's hands trembling as she clutched the edges of her seat during the ride and her eyes darting anxiously over the passing scenery. Ashford wondered what was going on in her mind."What if I can

    Ashford stared at her as she raised the sword to slit his head with it. Just when he thought she was going to kill him with her sword, she paused and bent to his height. Ashford stared at her weakly, and he placed his hand on the injury. He had to heal, think of something else to do to her, and save himself from her."You tried to kill yourself just to talk to me?" Luna muttered. "I guess I will have to listen to you."Ashford's eyes lit up amidst the pain he felt around his body. He nodded his head at her and coughed out, placing his hand on his mouth. He wiped blood off his face."Thank you, Luna," he replied."Why do you call me Luna?""That's your name; don't tell me you forgot."Luna's hands tightened around the sword's hilt, and her eyes narrowed into slits. 'Are you ready to go straight to the point?' she hissed, her voice laced with barely contained fury."I am." He answered. "I'm Ashford, your first mate.""Go on, what made you think I would believe that you are not Monsell bu

    Monsell took a step forward, with Luna holding his hand."We will throw them in the dungeon; that is exactly what we would do." Monsell said.Luna's lips curled up into an evil smile. "Let's get them!"Monsell grinned and removed her hands from his; he broke the metal he had placed on her wrist. He stepped backward."I would handle the rest of the stuff; get rid of them." He ordered.Luna nodded. "Sure."Monsell turned around and began walking away. Ashford couldn't let him leave like that. Ashford hurried after him, catching him by the hand and throwing a punch at his face. Just as Ashford was about to throw another punch, a hand held his wrist. He raised his head to look at who was holding him; it was Luna.There was no way Ashford was going to hurt Luna; she had no idea what she was doing. She pulled Ashford's hand away and kicked him in the stomach. The impact hit him, making him fall to his knees. Monsell chuckled and walked away, leaving Luna with them.Ashford scrambled to his f

    "Now, start the initiation." Monsell repeated. "We have to get her on our side before anyone comes for her.""You are going to regret this!" Luna yelled.Monsell smirked at her. "Not really; you will belong to the Hybire soon."Everyone in the room stood to their feet, reciting a quote. The quote was so old that it was affecting Luna's ears. She covered her ears and began screaming; her ears began bleeding, and blood began streaming down her face. She screamed in pain as memories filled her head, starting from the time that he met her father to the time that she was growing up.Soon, the memories of when she met her mother began to fade away. She tried to grab hold of her mother, but everything disappeared. The only thing she could see was Monsell; he was smiling at her and taking her hand.The memories of when she was with Assy all faded away. Assy became Monsell, and he was in every scene that he was in. He was smiling at her and taking her hand, helping her with everything.Luna's e

    "Whatever you want to do to me would never work." Luna snarled at the man in front of her. "You think taking my blood and using it to your own benefit is going to work as you thought? My mate is going to find you! And end you!"A slap hit her face, and the impact made her face move to the side. The chain gripped her hand tightly as she fell to her knees. Liquid filled her mouth, and when she spit it out, it was blood.Monsell bent to her height and cupped her face in her hands. His lips curled into a smile, and he pulled off his coat hat, revealing his face. Luna's eyes widened; his face wasn't what she thought it was going to be. His eyes were bright green, his hair was long and curly, and his jaw was chiseled. He was handsome, and Luna hated to admit it. He had a scar in between his eye sockets."You should learn to speak to me politely; do I look like a monster?" Monsell asked. "Your mate didn't try to save you the last time I took his sister, but your best friend appeared. He tried

    Luna's eyes opened in the dim, dark room; she was chained to a wall. She glanced around the room, trying to check where she was. She tried to get away from the wall, but it was impossible. She tried to use her power, but it was of no use. She glanced around the room, trying to remember where she was and why she was in the cell.She had been with Ashford and the rest outside, and she had killed all the creatures. Someone had knocked her out and brought her here; she couldn't remember anyone's face. There was a black smoke around them when she was knocked out."Ashford?" She called out. "Are you there?"There was no response.She tried to free herself again, but she suddenly felt weak. Weaker than she had ever felt, her body hurt as she tried again."Ashford?" She called again.She slapped herself for thinking that Ashford was near her. If he were, he wouldn't let her be chained to the wall like a slave. He couldn't do it, and then it hit her. She had been kidnapped by someone, and the o
