ROSEANNEI had already heard the story about Lyra from Damian’s perspective. Unlike what I had expected, Damian’s story and Tion’s were quite different. I felt a bit confused because it seemed like Tion knew Lyra better than Damian did, even though Lyra was once Damian’s Luna.At this point, there were only two possibilities: either Tion was telling the truth or deliberately trying to mislead me with false information.But if Tion was correct, then Damian didn’t know much about Lyra despite having lived with her as his mate. However, why did Tion know so much about her?‘Was it because they came from the same orphanage, so Tion was close to Lyra?’ I started forming different possibilities in my head, trying to piece together the puzzle I couldn’t solve yet. ‘But Tion seemed to care about her a lot, and I could even feel his sadness when he talked about Lyra’s passing.’I shifted my gaze to look at Damian. My Alpha was also looking at me gently. There was a hint of longing in his eyes
ROSEANNE“Damian, I won’t ask about Lyra anymore,” I said softly as I hugged him.I felt Damian’s arms wrap around me, holding me tightly in return. Then, a small chuckle escaped him. “Why? If you still have questions about Lyra, I can still answer them, Anne.”Even though Damian spoke gently and seemed fine with this conversation, I didn’t want to continue talking about Lyra for now.I never expected Lyra’s story to be so heartbreaking, especially hearing it directly from Damian. He had no hesitation in telling me everything.Maybe Damian seemed fine now, but I was sure that deep down, he must feel a little sad whenever we talked about Lyra. Whether he wanted to or not, Damian had to recall his past with her, and those memories must bring back old wounds and the longing he still felt for her.Losing someone in such a tragic way leaves a scar on the heart. No matter how many years pass, the memories remain, etched forever.That’s why, in the end, I shook my head. This conversation abo
ROSEANNEThe next day, Damian left early in the morning because he had important business in the pack that he couldn’t postpone. He instructed Kiren to watch over me as usual while Tobias had to accompany him.This morning, Damian seemed reluctant to leave me—considering that we were still searching for the spy within Fenrison, who was most likely responsible for Uncle Sam’s murder. He didn’t want me to be at home without his supervision. Damian had become very protective of me, not wanting me to end up in another dangerous situation.He even asked me to come with him. I could see how uneasy he was about leaving me behind, so he wanted me to go to Aeternum Pack and stay by his side.However, I understood why Damian was being so protective, especially after hearing his story about Lyra last night. Damian must have been afraid that I would meet the same fate as her.He didn’t want to lose me the way he lost Lyra.But I refused to go because Damian’s absence allowed me to sneak out and i
ROSEANNEKiren looked hesitant to take me, and I knew why.“Luna Roseanne, but Alpha Damian asked me to make sure you stay home no matter what. He doesn’t allow me to take you anywhere for now,” Kiren said.I had expected him to say that, so I simply ignored his words and stood up from the sofa. “Didn’t I just ask you if you are still working as my personal Beta or if you’ve become one of Damian’s Betas now?”“Of course, I’m still your personal Beta, Luna Roseanne. Even though you’re married and have an Alpha, I must remain loyal to you,” Kiren instantly replied without a second thought. “I will listen to you more than Alpha Damian.”“Good, then get the car ready now and wait for me downstairs because we’re going to the White Dove Orphanage. I have to take advantage of the time while Damian isn’t home. If not now, I won’t get another chance to prove whether Lyra is my twin sister or not.”“What if someone asks me where I’m taking you? You know, Alpha Damian has given orders to all the
ROSEANNE“Roseanne, Grandpa will match you with an Alpha, and you two will be married in two weeks.”The words hit me like a punch to the chest. I had just stepped into Grandpa's office after four months in a coma. Instead of the warm greeting I had expected, I received this announcement.I stood frozen in front of his desk, my heart pounding. “Grandpa, what do you mean? You must have said something wrong, right?”“Grandpa, you couldn’t possibly do something like that to me. I know that you love me very much, so something like this can’t happen.” My eyes trembled with worry, and as much as I could, I refused to believe him.But his face showed no signs of guilt. Andreas Moonveil, the most powerful man in the country and my grandfather, just stared at me coldly, without hesitation or regret.“There’s no mistake here, Roseanne. I’ve picked the perfect man for you,” he said with authority, leaving no room for argument.“Grandpa!” I finally raised my voice, trying to get his attention. “I
DAMIAN“Alpha Damian, we have successfully located Tion.”The puff of smoke that had just been exhaled floated and mixed with the air, left a sharp aroma in the room. After hearing that name, the nicotine that I had been sipping on no longer felt delicious.The cigarette butt was still unfinished, but I immediately crushed it in the ashtray. A tiny spark slowly disappeared at the tip, in contrast to the anger inside me that was burning even more.I leaned back in my chair, my gaze fixed on Blair coldly. My fingers tapped the arm of the chair in a steady rhythm, resembling the sound of a tense ticking clock. “Blair, have you forgotten what I ordered?” I asked in a low tone.Blair bowed his head deeply. “I’m sorry, Alpha Damian, I should have brought Tion to you immediately. But a bit of a problem happened, so I could only give a report.”I snorted, getting annoyed. “What big problem is blocking you from bringing the traitor to me?”“I got information that Tion is currently in the South
ROSEANNEThe afternoon wind blew through the broken window at the end of the warehouse, bringing with it swirling dust before landing back on the long-untouched floor. I stood in the middle of the dim room, arms folded across my chest, my eyes staring at the figure tied up in the corner of the room— Tion. His mouth was gagged with a cloth, but his sharp gaze still tried to fight back even though his body was limp.Kiren and Raven stood not far from me, watching with a vigilant attitude. After getting some important information, I immediately ordered Kiren to catch a man who betrayed Damian, only after that did I contact Damian.I know this is an exaggeration, but meeting a man like Damian Fenrison certainly requires extra steps because I'm sure he wouldn't want to meet me if I didn't have something important that is directly related to him. I don't know him well, but the stories I've heard are enough to give me an idea.An Alpha is ruthless, ambitious, and notoriously cares about no o
ROSEANNENight had fallen when I returned to the Moonveil mansion. The place that was supposed to be called home instead felt like hell to me. Tonight was the first night I appeared among my family after my long coma, and I knew they were not expecting me.I entered the dining room with slow steps. The long table was filled with familiar faces, but none looked friendly. Aunt Eleanor, sat on the right side with her husband, Uncle Walter. At the end of the table was my cousin, Lavinia, who was busy with her cell phone but still gave me a disdainful look every now and then.Grandpa Andreas still has two other sons, but tonight, I heard they cannot join us for dinner because they have business abroad.“Oh, look, who’s finally risen from the brink of death,” Aunt Eleanor quipped in a high-pitched voice, a sarcastic smile spreading across her face.I held my breath, trying to ignore her and sat in the chair usually reserved for me. But it seemed they didn't want to let me rest for a moment.

My Alpha was also looking at me gently. There was a hint of longing in his eyes
DAMIANSo far, there was nothing suspicious about Roseanne.I trusted that woman and felt everything she said was the truth. I had no reason to doubt her words. Besides, Roseanne's reason was quite reasonable.Before my bond with Roseanne grew more substantial, I would have been furious if I had known she was looking into Lyra, even just a little. I didn’t think Roseanne needed to dig into my past that deeply, especially since Lyra was no longer in this world.However, now that our bond was much stronger than it should have been, and I had already placed my trust in Roseanne, I no longer minded if she wanted to know more about Lyra. In fact, I could tell her everything she wanted to know without worrying about anything.The last time I mentioned Tion, Roseanne’s expression changed slightly. She looked somewhat surprised when I said I might kill Tion. But I wasn’t joking. I had planned to kill Tion several times, but I hadn’t done it yet because I still needed him."Damian, I want to k
ROSEANNE“Roseanne, I’m not angry if you want to find out about my former Luna. I think it’s only natural that you’d want to know who Lyra really was. But I also wouldn’t mind if you just asked me directly instead of looking into it in secret. Wouldn’t it be better if you heard it straight from me?”I was surprised by how calmly Damian responded to this. I had assumed the worst, thinking he might get angry if I tried to dig into Lyra’s past.Not everyone likes having their past unearthed—especially since I clearly remembered how sensitive Damian used to be whenever Lyra’s name came up in our arguments before our relationship got this close.But he seemed completely at ease now, and I didn’t see a trace of anger in his expression.Realizing that the atmosphere was much better than I had anticipated, I stepped closer and chose to sit beside him. “Would you really tell me everything if I asked?” I asked Damian.It didn’t take him long to nod. “Of course. I don’t think there’s anything ab
ROSEANNEI let Damian take me away from the underground cell because I had no other excuse if he kept asking about my reason for coming here. I knew I wouldn’t be able to lie to him anymore, and at the same time, I wasn’t ready to tell Damian the truth yet.I glanced at Damian’s arm around my shoulders. Even as we left the underground, he said nothing to Blair. I could see the worried expression on Blair’s face—I should talk to Damian to make sure he doesn’t get angry at Blair for letting me in alone.Damian shouldn't be mad at the wrong person because this was my own decision. If anyone deserved his anger, it was me."Luna Roseanne, I’m still here. If you’re certain that Lyra is truly your twin sister and you need more information about your past together, I can give it to you. But in exchange, you have to get me out of this prison. I suggest you decide quickly because Alpha Damian might kill me by tomorrow."Those were the last words Tion whispered to me before Damian arrived earlie
DAMIANMy men have yet to find the person responsible for Sam’s murder. As soon as his death was confirmed, I immediately met with Tobias and Kiren to discuss the matter. At the same time, several other parties began searching for traces of the person who was most likely responsible for Sam Moonveil’s death.Roseanne insisted that the man could not have taken his own life, and I believed that Sam Moonveil was not the type to kill himself. He had too many grudges, and there was no way he would give up so easily without settling them first.I had already ordered my men to conduct a thorough investigation—reviewing every CCTV recording in Fenrison’s residence, tracking any possible evidence left in the underground chamber, and identifying anyone who had visited the place recently.Tobias had checked everything, but no leads had surfaced.There was always the possibility that Sam Moonveil had indeed committed suicide, but I wasn’t ready to accept that yet. I would keep searching until I h
ROSEANNEI stared at Tion without blinking. His words still lingered in the air, refusing to be processed in my mind. I received three pieces of information at once in everything he said—each incredibly difficult to believe.Tion claimed that Lyra was my twin sister, that she had been at the scene of the incident and suffered the same accident as I did, and most importantly, that Lyra had died because she saved me.Does any of this make sense?I didn't even know Lyra, so how could this man claim we were twins? I couldn't just accept this nonsense so easily."Your joke isn't funny at all, Tion," my voice was barely audible.Tion sighed, and I could see the sadness and frustration on his face. "Lyra really was your twin sister, Luna Roseanne."He repeated it, truly trying to convince me—or perhaps brainwash me.But my heart was pounding so hard that I could hear its beats in my ears. My mind went blank, and my chest felt unbearably tight as if I had been struck by something massive. It
