JONEA

The young man bowed very low and brought his head towards me. I gripped the pebbles that were on the ground. I'm ready to punch him if he intends to hurt me.

When my hand was raised, suddenly, the young man pulled the hood of his jacket back. His black hair swayed down to his forehead. He has a symmetrical face shape with defined cheekbones and a nose.

He looked at me and gave me a sinister smile.

Moon goddess! I screamed inside. Who is this handsome and beautiful creature?

I shivered at the sight. Even with such a cynical smile, he looked extremely handsome and charming.

"Welcome, Aunt!"

"W-what? AUNT? Who are you?"

He'd probably be about the same age as me–if he was human. But I have my doubts. He could be hundreds of years old. Their faces are deceiving.

He was still squatting in front of me. Now his face became cold as ice in the north pole. He narrowed his eyes and tried to intimidate me.

A second later, he opened his mouth wide, and terrifying sharp fangs appeared.

    JONEAI felt the sharp tip of the fangs begin to dig into my skin. Somehow suddenly, Owen bounced. The invisible shackles that bound my body were released. As if I had just been freed from the entanglement of a very strong rope, now I can breathe freely and move my body as before.I saw Owen trying to get up after hitting the wall. His face was blue-purple with embarrassment and pain.What happened?Owen was thinking the same thing.He grinned as he straightened his back and patted his wrinkled shirt. Still haughty, he said curtly to me."You… not bad at all! Don't ever call me a vampire. Because I am a lycan!""O-of course, you are a lycan. Ha ha ha… Isn't your uncle also a Lycan? I'm so stupid. Why can I think of you as a vampire? That's impossible, right? Ha ha ha…"Owen left me alone. I covered my mouth and no longer laughed stupidly. Phew!I quickly picked up my suitcases and carried them into the room. I locked the door tightly from the inside. I even checked three times to be su

    JONEA"Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you?""Yes," I answered confidently. "I'm going to take the bus."Owen shrugged his shoulders. "Up to you. Besides, it would be spending my time if I had to take you to campus first. I'm already late because you woke up late.""Sorry," is all I can say to Owen. He even prepared breakfast for me."Are you sure you don't want to be escorted? Do you know the place? Do you know which bus to take?"I gulped. He said I was a bother but seemed worried about letting me go to campus alone."Stay cool. I've learned everything." I showed him the schedule and bus route from the brochure at the nearest bus stop. "Blue Sapphire University, arts faculty, fine arts department, right? Bus on route 21.""It's good that you understand."Owen leaves first in his car.Half an hour later, I got off the bus and stood in front of the gates of a very grand and famous university in Blue Sapphire.I froze there, staring at the big sign above the entrance gate.

    JONEA"Isn't he home yet?"I searched the house for Owen, but he was nowhere to be found."Do I have to make a report to him if I'm going to the club? But there is no such agreement between us. What if he comes looking for me?"I pondered."Why am I so sure he will look for me? It's like he won't care no matter what I do. Daran isn't here either."After taking my bag, I left the house. When I got to the door, I hesitated and finally turned back.I took a piece of memo paper from the table by the phone. I wrote a message on it and attached the paper to the refrigerator door using a magnet."It's up to him whether he wants to read or not. At least I have an excuse and a defense if something goes wrong."I nod, satisfied. The taxi is waiting in front of the house.The atmosphere of the city of Blue Sapphire is so lively. As if all the inhabitants of this country are nocturnal creatures. During the day, there isn't much activity, but when night comes, it's as if all life begins.I got out

    OWENI was just returning home when the phone rang."It's past midnight. Who's calling at this hour?"I put the car keys on the table and grabbed the receiver. I heard his panicked voice. It's really not like my uncle."Did something happen to my bride-to-be?"My uncle literally screamed into the phone. I had to hold the receiver away from my ear.What the hell is he? Scream midnight!It was only then that I realized that the house was quiet at that time."What?" I was confused and reconfirmed my uncle's question. "Who's in danger?"Just knowing that uncle called was very strange. It is scarce he calls me."Are you stupid, Owen? Are you drunk? I told you to stay sane and stay alert!"My body immediately shivered at that time too. "Oh, is it about Jonea?"I had forgotten that Jonea was now living here with me."What do you mean she's in danger?" I laughed softly. "You worry too much about her. There's no way she'd be in danger. I'm sure she's curled up in her room now under the covers."

    JONEA "Hunter? How could that be." Again I couldn't move. This time it wasn't because the energy in my body was drained, but because Hunter appeared that made me weak. I couldn't move because of my own shock. I even injured him. I saw Hunter had a red mark on his forehead. But he didn't have the same negative impact as the previous monster. I looked down at my hands, covered in Hunter's blood. I still tightly gripped the black bone dagger with trembling hands. "Jonea... are you okay?" Hunter groaned in pain. He held his waist, which was torn by my dagger. He wasn't angry at all. On the other hand, Hunter is worried about me. Now I'm confused. What exactly happened? How could Hunter be here? "I saw you at the club. You… being carried by a strange man. I thought something bad had happened to you. That's why I followed you all the way here." Lie! I shouted in my head. Slowly my consciousness returned. I backed away in fear while pointing my dagger at him. Hunter is on Luke Drake

    OWEN"What do you ask of me? You want me to satisfy you, Jonea?"I didn't expect it; Jonea pushed me so hard that I fell backward. I grinned at her.The girl looks very annoyed. I really like it when I see her angry and desperate like that.Staring at Jonea at this close distance made me realize how attractive she was. Maybe she didn't realize that there was an enormous power within her."Stop teasing and playing games with me, Owen! We just agreed not to tell Daran about tonight's events. You will also be at a disadvantage if Daran finds out you are not taking care of me seriously."Asshole girl. She knows what she's doing.I gave up too. Although from the start, I did not intend to report tonight's incident to my uncle. I'm curious who the man who saved Jonea was when she was attacked by a warlock in the alley. That guy is indeed an Alpha Werewolf, but I don't know from which pack.I stood straight and pretended I was stretching the muscles that felt stiff after she threw my body awa

    JONEA"What do you do there?"Owen screamed so loudly I almost fell. I held on to the window sill very tightly.Owen approaches me with big strides. If caught, he would attack me and throw me off the second-floor balcony.I took a step back to take a swing when Owen opened his bedroom window roughly."Are you out of your mind? Why are you standing on my balcony at this hour? Explain to me, Jonea Rawling!""Of course, because I can't sleep!" I replied harshly. "This is all your fault! You said that I might die in six months. Imagine if you were me. Can you sleep well when you know death is in sight?"Owen let out a few rough breaths. He even closed and opened his eyes repeatedly. He seemed to be trying to control himself before returning to face me."You said… I-will-die!" I repeated once again.Until now, I never really imagined death would come this quickly.What have I been doing all my life? What good things have I done? Meanwhile, I haven't been able to free Aland, who is currentl

    JONEA"Stop crying! I won't be able to understand if you don't say anything but cry and cry!" shouted Marilyn, who couldn't hold back her patience anymore.Marilyn had never been this mad at me. Maybe I've gone too far this time. I also stopped crying. I wiped my tears and wiped my snot that kept dripping. I already finished a box of tissues."You've calmed down now?"I nodded."Then, try to sequence the story from the beginning. Why are you crying like this? What happened to you?""My life will end, Marilyn. I only have six months left. I will die then. But, before that time comes, I must be able to save Aland no matter what."Marilyn was stunned. Her face turned pale. We stood on the roof of one of the deserted campus buildings.We ditched our first class that morning. Marilyn saw me coming with a puffy face and swollen eyes. She also decided to ditch and invite me to talk on the roof."Watch your mouth, Jonea! You can't just talk nonsense on Blue Sapphire. Now, even walls have ears

    JONEAI was sitting in what felt like endless darkness. No sound except the echo of my own breath, no movement except the shadow of myself fading on a pitch-black floor like cracked glass. I knew it was just a dream, but it felt so real, like a trap I couldn’t escape.Suddenly, a voice broke the silence—cold and familiar.“Jonea,” it called, echoing through the void. “I know you can hear me.”Luke Draken.My body tensed, but I couldn’t see him. Just his voice, flowing with power and certainty.“Surely you’re starting to understand the dragon blood flowing in your veins,” he continued. “You can’t deny it, Jonea. Our bodies were bound long before the red moon rose.”In the dream, I touched my own body. My hand brushed against something that shouldn’t be there—hard, sharp scales covering half of me. I gasped, choking on a sob. What had happened to me?Luke chuckled softly, mocking. “I will live inside you forever,” he said, his voice drawing closer, as if whispering directly into my ear.

    JONEAIt seemed like Luke noticed something off about my body. He grinned widely and tossed Hunter to the ground like a rag doll. Then, in a swift move, he picked me up and laid me down on the marble altar.Why? What’s happening to me? My chest felt tight, my whole body burning. I was so thirsty—desperately craving someone’s touch, someone to soothe me.Without realizing it, I started moaning and gasping at the same time. Luke gently lowered me onto the altar, then climbed over me with a calculated ease.“Union,” he whispered. “You’re breaking the seal. And when the crimson moon reaches its peak, your pure blood will be mine!”I couldn’t control my body or my thoughts anymore. Pain surged through me as I let out a scream. My eyes flew open, my head tilting back to stare at the dome’s opening. The full crimson moon stared back.“Ahhh!” I cried out as sharp fangs pushed out of my mouth, piercing my lips.Luke leaned closer, his eyes glowing bright red—the eyes of a dragon. He kissed me,

    HUNTERI turned around to see one of the shadow creatures loyal to me in this secret mission. Its black eyes glinted under the moonlight."The werewolf forces are ready," it said shortly.I nodded. "Make sure no one knows the plan until the very last moment."The creature bowed and disappeared into the shadows.My thoughts drifted back to when everything began to fall apart.We used to be an unbeatable group—Beast Four. Me, Aland, Edison, and Elmar. Together, we protected the Sapphire Blue with strength and unbreakable friendship. But the Red Dragons destroyed everything.One by one, my friends fell. Edison and Elmar vanished into the darkness of the shadow world. Jonea, broken and battered, chose to hide. Aland—he was captured by Luke Draken. Back then, I didn’t understand why Luke targeted Aland specifically, my closest and most different friend.I remember that night vividly. Aland was locked in the dragon’s prison, his body covered in wounds. I knew he hated me for joining the Red

    MILLERNever in my life did I think I’d witness something like this—a scene straight out of a legend. Standing before me were humans from the shadow hunter ranks, werewolves, lycans, dragons, and even jeverics, creatures that had been at odds for as long as anyone could remember. And yet, here they were, side by side, united by a single purpose: finding Jonea before it was too late.The sky was gloomy that day, heavy gray clouds mirroring the tension hanging over us. From the hilltop, I watched the valley below where thousands of figures had gathered, awaiting final orders before the search began.“All of this… it’s for Jonea,” I murmured to myself.Arabel stood beside me, her sharp eyes scanning the crowd with her usual vigilance. “They understand what’s at stake, Miller,” she said firmly, her voice calm but resolute. “If Jonea falls into the wrong hands, it’s not just her life that’s at risk. The whole world is.”I nodded, swallowing the fear creeping into my chest.On the human sid

    DARANI’m losing my mind. There’s no other way to describe how I feel right now. My entire body feels like it’s on fire—an intense mix of anxiety and rage. I’ve been searching for Jonea for days, but there’s no trace of her.I’ve scoured every corner of this island, plunged into shadow realms, and even crossed the borders of the Blue Sapphire lands. It’s like she’s been erased from existence, like the wind leaving a faint trail only to vanish without a trace.“Jonea!” I shout, breaking the silence of the night.But only my own echo answers me.Frustrated, I press on, crossing boundaries I’m not supposed to. I find myself at the edge of the Dragon Valley, the gateway to the Land of the Blue Dragons. This is my last shot. If she’s not here, I don’t know where else to look.I’m furious.“JONEA!” I roar again, my voice echoing off the steep cliffs. My rage is so intense that the plants around me wither and die, drained by the destructive energy radiating from my body.But it’s not Jonea w

    JONEAI froze, my heart pounding erratically as Luke’s words sank in.“The last time we met was at a graveyard, right?” he asked, a faint smirk playing on his lips, making my blood boil. “More accurately, I saw you. You knew I was there, but you chose to ignore me.”My eyes widened. A graveyard? I racked my brain, trying to make sense of his words. Only one graveyard stood out in my memory—the one where my parents were buried. The day I stood at the edge of a fresh grave, feeling the world crumble beneath my feet. The day I auctioned off my freedom for something far worse.“So,” I murmured, almost in disbelief, “you were there? Watching me?”Luke’s smirk widened. His face was calm, but his eyes hinted at something much darker.“You looked so fragile that day,” he said, stepping closer. “Just a little girl who’d lost everything. It was… entertaining to watch.”Rage bubbled in my chest, but my body refused to move, as if his presence alone was a chain binding me in place.He reached out

    JONEAI stared out the hospital room window from my bed for what felt like the hundredth time. The white blanket covering me felt unbearably heavy—not because of its weight, but because of what lay beneath it. Black, cold, hardened scales covered parts of my body. It felt like I was trapped in an unending nightmare.This was the first time I had absorbed magical energy, and I never imagined the consequences would be this severe. My body, my mind, even my heart—all felt different. Yet, in a strange way, I didn’t regret it. The baby dragons had been saved. They were just like me—alone and scared, facing a ruthless world.Miller stopped by yesterday and explained everything. It turns out Aland brought me here, to this special hospital for hunters. Daran and Aland had a heated argument over where I should be treated. Aland insisted I stay under his watch, while Daran wanted to take me back. In the end, Miller mediated, and this hospital became the compromise.According to Miller, Aland wa

    DARANI ran as fast as I could, my body trembling from both exhaustion and panic. The wet sand of the beach made every step heavier, but I didn’t care. In front of me, the dark ocean stretched endlessly. Waves crashed hard, as if reminding me that I was racing against time. Jonea was out there somewhere, and I couldn’t let her slip away.“Jonea!” I screamed with all my strength, my voice hoarse. But only the wind and waves responded.My body nearly lost balance when my foot suddenly hit a rock. I almost fell, but a strong hand steadied me.“Uncle, are you okay?” Owen’s voice was full of concern. He grabbed my arm, steadying me. “You’ve used up too much energy earlier. You need to rest.”“Let go of me!” I shoved his hand away. “I need to save Jonea!”“You won’t save her if you pass out here,” Owen said firmly but gently. “Calm down, Uncle. We’ll look for her together.”But I didn’t have time for his reasoning. Adrenaline pushed me forward even though my body was nearly at its limit. My

    JONEAOwen stepped forward, his body morphing into a massive, intimidating lycan form. “I’ll try to hold them off. You guys figure out how to break their spell.”Without waiting for a reply, Owen lunged at the first beast, determined to stop it before it could cause more destruction. Meanwhile, Arabel and Miller began chanting spells, attempting to trace the dark magic controlling the dragonlings.I stood frozen, unsure of what to do. But when I saw the second dragonling start to move, I knew I couldn’t just stand there. Hesitantly, I approached it. “Hey, you don’t have to do this. We’re here to help you,” I whispered, even though I wasn’t sure it could hear me.The first beast fought back viciously against Owen. Their battle left the hall in even worse ruins. Eve, who was usually composed and cold, finally unsheathed her sword. “I’ll back Owen up. Protect Jonea,” she told Daran before leaping into the fray.I tried to get closer to the second dragonling, but an invisible force held m
