*Willard*I thought it would be Mia and me alone in the kitchen, but she stopped Simon, who had yet to walk out of the kitchen. "Simon, you're not allowed to leave either! Come and help. This will be faster. We used to be good partners in the kitchen."Simon patted Mia's head dotingly, saying that he would stay.Since Mia said it, I couldn't reject him either. The fantasy of us staying alone was shattered and broken by his attendance."Mia, help me whip the cream.""Simon, pass me the salad dressing.""Hey, the egg tarts are done. Turn off the oven, Mia."They were so familiar with each other. It seemed that they had worked together like this more than once."Who's going to cook the mussels?" Simon asked."I'll do it. How about steaming it?" I finally found a little leeway in their close cooperation."But I want to eat creamy mussels..." Mia said weakly.Creamy mussel, but I didn't know how to make it at all. I was a little disappointed and too embarrassed to answer her."But it's fine
After being kissed by Sofia, Willard's mood was much better. He brought everyone to admire the portraits of the moon goddess that he had collected. These portraits came from all over the world, from different eras and packs.Everyone admired the moon goddess, but they had never seen her before. They used various methods to imagine her and express their admiration for her.In upper-class society, exchanging and gifting portraits of the moon goddess was the noblest way to socialize.I never thought that I would be able to see so many portraits of her at once. Some were still very new, and some were from long ago. The paintings hanging quietly on the wall might be signed by an artist who could shake the world and bring changes to the industry.It was fine only to see one painting, but when these dozens or hundreds of paintings appeared in front of me, for some reason, my tears fell uncontrollably. The moon goddess in those paintings looked different, but the common point was that she look
Locas stood up, but his eyes were fixed on my lips. He looked like he hadn't had enough. "This is Willard's sofa. What a pity. If it were my sofa, you would not have the strength to walk out the door."Hearing his suggestive words, I sat up. The intimate atmosphere was still there, but it didn't stop me from glaring at him. "You're crazy."He picked up his jacket. "Your silent follower and admirer is hurt and desperately needs your comfort. I don't want to see you coaxing another man, so I'll leave first."He lowered his head and kissed me deeply again. Then, he said in a low voice, "You must stop before you go too far. I won't let you off if I find out that you have a more intimate relationship with him than me."He did not stay any longer and turned to leave.I was annoyed by his words and shouted from behind, "Locas, stop there. Explain yourself. Do you hear me?"He did not look back at all, only raising his hand and waving casually.Now that everyone else was gone, I was the only o
I picked up the diary on the floor and opened it before going to the bed. Memories of my childhood slowly came back to me. The casual graffiti from my childhood now seemed like from a different world.It suddenly occurred to me that I had always liked to draw since I was young. Moreover, I had always had a unique perception of the moon goddess. Now that these memories seemed to have disappeared, my perception of the moon goddess had also significantly weakened.I heard from my neighbors that I would suddenly run away while playing outside. In the end, the place I ran to was a portrait or sculpture of the moon goddess. Moreover, my foster mother scolded me, "Wretched girl, you've never been normal since you were young. When we met you in the temple of the moon goddess, you insisted on becoming a nun. You even lost my favorite golden ring. If I had known you were so annoying, I would have thrown you in to be a nun."As I looked at the colorful graffiti on the diary, many memories suddenl
My heart was pounding in my chest. Why did Krell hug me in his arms without asking for my permission? Everyone was watching us."Mia, choose me." Krell pressed his lips close to my ear. He spoke so softly that only I could hear him.He even licked my earlobe, which made my breath catch in my chest and my face turn scarlet.The tip of Krell's tongue left my earlobe after that quick lick. He didn't do anything else, but I felt as if my earlobe was on fire."That's not fair," I whispered, hooking Krell's pinky finger with my ownHowever, Krell did not seem to think much of it. He just squeezed my palm teasingly."Krell, let go of Mia!" Locas glared at Krell and pulled me away from Krell.Locas pulled so hard that I lost my balance for a moment and fell awkwardly into Locas's arms.Well, Locas was wearing a men's fragrance, which smelt as elegant and noble as Locas himself. The scent engulfed me, momentarily taking over my senses.Krell looked at Locas coldly. He seemed to be ready to figh
I felt so very dizzy. The world spun around me and I became light headed as my body went limp.I placed my hand on my forehead as I opened my eyes. I saw Locas's handsome face, but he didn't have his usual elegant smile.Locas's face was very pale and covered in dust. Over his right cheek, there was a small cut, which was still bleeding.Locas seemed to be very relieved and happy after he saw that I opened my eyes. "Mia, Willard said that you would be fine. Now it seems that he was right.""What happened?" I reached out to touch the scar on Locas's face, but he grabbed my hand and he looked ahead.I followed his gaze and saw Krell and Willard fighting a group of people in animal skins.I was a little confused. "Didn't we beat all the beasts away?"Simon, who was standing at the side, suddenly said, "They are the guardians." His arm hung unnaturally by his side. It was obviously broken.Guardians? What did that mean? What was going on?Simon noticed my expression and said, "After we def
I was shivering as I woke up. I felt so cold and so wet. My head hurt.I struggled to open my eyes.However, what I saw through my narrow vision made my body tremble even more.It wasn't the green roof of the tent, nor was it the starry night sky. Instead, it was the grayish-black roof of a cave that was dripping water.How did I get here?I wanted to stay awake as fear struck me. I really wanted to figure out what was going on, but the weakness in my body made it impossible.I could barely keep my eyes open.I couldn't help but close my eyes. I really wanted to sleep.Rustle...Rustle...It sounded like a ferocious beast walking on sand.My hair stood on end from the wetness, coldness and fear. I could clearly sense danger approaching me, but I was too weak to resist. I could not even open my eyes right now.A drop of water landed on the tip of my nose. It was close to freezing temperature, which helped push away my lethargy. I struggled to open my eyes again.I finally saw what was
"Krell!" I staggered to Krell.I stroked the fur on Krell's body. It was wet and cold. The blood on his body stained my hand. It was as red as the setting sun. It seemed that Krell had died.My hands were trembling badly. I kept gathering white light and caressed his body. I couldn't help frowning. He had just knocked down the leader with his last bit of strength."Krell!" I shouted. Krell's eyelashes moved and then there was no response.After checking Krell's entire body, I condensed a ball of white light in my palm to heal him. It was the healing method that the guardians had taught me. It had to work!Krell, Krell! You have to survive!Moon goddess, please bless us!I prayed in my mind, but my hands couldn't stop shaking because my instincts told me that Krell was close to death. There was only a slim chance that he would survive.At the thought of this, I couldn't help but take a deep breath. I said to myself, "Mia, you can't think that way. You can do it. Krell can do it too. You
"Oh, my good daughter, since you refuse to come home, I am forced to come to you. Your smell has changed. Have you already had sex with some other guy? Do you want to try it with me now? You might think I'm better than them." I struggled to break free, but I was no match for him. As he tore my clothes apart, the door was kicked open. Then the lights were turned on. Krell was standing in the doorway. His hand had already turned into a wolf claw. He pointed at my foster father and said coldly, "Get lost immediately, or I'll definitely rip your throat out. If you don't believe me, you can try me." My foster father was clearly frightened. His grip on me loosened a lot. Krell reached out to me. I threw myself into his arms. Krell held me tightly in his arms with one hand. His wolf claw was shining under the light. He suddenly swung at my foster father. My foster father hurriedly dodged him. But because the room was too small, my foster father was still injured. There was a long woun
Could we really start over? Bullshit! I tried to break free from his embrace, but Simon's arms were so strong that I couldn't break free. His lips were so warm. He was still kissing me. He bit my lips and stuck his tongue into my mouth. I gradually let my guard down. His gentleness was like the spring breeze, which was melting me. I even began to respond. His hand had already reached into my clothes and caressed my back. I felt really hot, and he had already unbuttoned my bra. "Mia, can we start over? Give me a chance! I don't want to lose you!" He kept repeating that sentence in my ear. My earlobe was in his mouth. My last rationality made me want to push him away forcefully, but I felt really weak at that time. I failed to push him away. I shouted, "No! I don't want to see any of you!" Somehow, I started crying. I had to admit that I was kind of unfaithful. I was greedy for them to pamper and protect me, but I didn't want to be their plaything or tool. However, when everyth
I retracted my scepter, and my true body returned to my usual appearance. Krell and the others had returned to their human forms and stood beside me. I felt extremely tired. These people were just trying to use me. I suddenly felt extremely disappointed and disgusted with them. Krell had already stepped forward and grabbed me. "Mia, listen to me..." I interrupted him. "Listen to what? I don't want to listen to any of your explanations. I've had enough. You're all the same. No matter what your motives are, no matter how you appear to me or approach me, your purpose is the same. You just want to use me to help your pack. I'm very disappointed. I don't want to have any more dealings with you. Today's matter ends here. I'm no longer the Moon Goddess. I'm only Mia, that ordinary woman." I took off the crown, and the moment I took it off, the light on my body was attracted into it. Just as the light on my body was about to completely disappear, I picked up the scepter and threw it ha
Suddenly, a coolness flowed from the top of my head to my whole body. The crown on my head let out a low hum. I instinctively thought of the scepter. I pounced on the ground not far away, and my fingers touched the scepter that had fallen to the ground. I gripped the scepter tightly. A weak force circulated around my fingertips, guiding my arm and raising it high up to the bright moon in the sky. My headache instantly disappeared, and a long, strange line of words appeared in my mind. It was the incantation of the ancient gods. In an instant, the scepter emitted a myriad of rays of light and the brilliance of the moon, constantly merging together. The entire sky was illuminated by silver light. The silver moonlight drifted down and wrapped everyone in it. Stars from the scepter scattered around like flowing water, also enveloping the five men beside me and falling on them. The magic from the scepter made them recover quickly. The moonlight shone on their bodies. The blood on th
Krell shouted at Willard to be careful! The next moment, he stood behind Willard and was slammed with a claw heavily on his back. Krell was knocked to the ground. Then, a few wild wolves took the opportunity to pounce on him and bite his shoulder, back, and throat. Willard was shocked. He hurriedly rushed over and knocked away the wolves. Locas also hissed at Willard. "Willard, take care of your brother. We'll take care of these people." However, the current situation was even more critical. Although Simon and Locas were not weak, it was simply too difficult for the two of them to deal with so many wild wolves. With Kasim heavily injured, it was impossible for him to return to his human form, let alone fight. Willard hugged his brother and shouted Krell's name. His entire body was covered in blood. His neck had been severely bitten open, and several pieces of flesh on his shoulder and back had been torn off. It looked like a disaster. They were both in human form and Willard w
Hundreds of years ago, a series of events happened to the Lycan packs that resulted in changes. When they begged for power, they experienced countless difficulties and dangers. Every species had the right to evolution. The Sun God and I gave them the ability to evolve, and I, the Moon Goddess, became the guardian of their worship. They promised me that they would not be enemies with humans, be friendly with the packs for generations, and not do anything to harm their people. Everyone would live together in their respective territories and maintain the prosperity of all packs. However, 1,000 years later, as technology developed, the Lycan leaders were gradually consumed by greed. They forgot their original intention and began to do all kinds of things to hurt other Lycan for the sake of power and wealth. And their various despicable actions finally got in the way of the interests of all Lycan, causing the most innocent and most powerless among them to fight for survival. Therefor
*Mia* Willard was always so meticulous. He led the way for us while Kasim and I followed behind. We had to find the entrance to the treasure as soon as possible. Otherwise, tonight would be a big problem. What made me feel strange was that we couldn't find the entrance when the sign on the map clearly indicated that we were near the treasure. I found it hard to understand. Kasim became very serious. He followed beside me. As he held my hand, he comforted me softly, "Mia, don't be afraid. I got you." His voice was still as delicate as ever, like a child. If I hadn't seen him fighting with the hungry wolves, I wouldn't have believed that he was that powerful alpha. I smiled and patted his hand. "Okay, don't worry! Willard will take care of everything." He pouted. "Mia, you only trust Willard and never trust me?" I was surprised. "Where does this come from? Willard has always been the most careful person!" Willard said without turning around, "Stop talking. Let's hurry up.
With Kasim blocking the wolves, they weren't able to come near us. I slowly stopped. This made me feel a little strange. I wondered if they'd just walk away. I wanted to see what was going on, but a few huge rocks blocked my vision. I pushed Mia into the corner behind the boulder and said, "Mia, listen. Stay here and remain hidden. I'm going to see if Kasim needs help." Mia was really a gullible girl. She nodded vigorously. "But Willard, you have to be careful too. I don't want you to get hurt again. You haven't fully recovered yet." I felt warm. Her eyes were filled with concern. At this moment, I believed that I meant a lot to her. I couldn't help but stop and hug her gently. She stroked my cheek and said earnestly, "Willard, you have to believe that I'm really worried about you. Can you promise me to take care of yourself?" Her gaze was so clear that it made me feel like everything I was doing was a sin. In her presence, I only wanted to repent. I was lying to her. I wante
I looked away from Willard's gaze and decided to put these things as far in the back of my head as I could until this expedition was over. I smiled and said, "Kasim, that was really impressive. I didn't expect you to have such an ability." Kasim proudly stood with his arm crossed, holding a cool posture and said, "Don't forget, I'm the next alpha. How can I become the alpha if I'm ordinary? Did you underestimate me?" All I wanted was for Willard to be safe. I was extremely happy. Willard was in much better shape now. His injuries had already healed. I held Willard's arm and looked up with a smile. "That's wonderful. Willard, you're doing so well. I'm so happy for you. How are you feeling right now?" Willard's voice was still a little weak. "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after some rest." I had to admit that he really had a strong physique. Now that he has recovered, we had to consider moving forward. According to the map, there was not much ground to cover
