NADLYN

Damian jumped into the room, then closed the window and came closer to me. Spontaneously, I stepped back, watching his every step carefully. The closer he got, the more my back hit the wall of this room. He smiled wryly, then crouched down in front of me. His hand suddenly pulled the blanket halfway off my face, surprising me.

"Is that a curse?" Damian asked in a low voice, his eyes scrutinising my damaged skin. I was really scared, but I didn't dare say anything.

"I heard you got it when you were born. You were banished and sold to a poor prince who wanted to enjoy your body. Then, when the prince got bored, they sold you again. Finally, King William bought you and brought you to the palace." Damian told me the story, looking at the look on my face.

I couldn't bear to listen, so I covered my ears as his words made me imagine those painful scenes. Then I spontaneously shouted to stop his story. "Stop!"

Damian showed me his crooked smile, I knew he wanted something, so he came i

    NADLYN"NADLYN!"I turned as I heard Rachel's call. She had just returned from hunting, and I breathed a sigh of relief to be able to leave my room and get back to doing things around the castle. Mostly helping the chefs with the cooking for Rachel's wedding feast with Damian."Yes? Is there anything Nadlyn can do for you, Lady Rachel?" I asked as I bowed my head, everyone in the kitchen looking at us briefly before returning to their respective activities as Rachel gave them a sharp look back."Come with me," Rachel said, lowering her tone this time. Then she pulled me with a grip so strong it made me hiss softly.When we arrived at a quiet place, it was an enclosed room near the fishpond of this palace. Rachel had locked it, and there were also items such as scrap metal and sharp objects used for hunting. I stared around in horror, it was the first time I had entered this place. The room was very dark, especially when Rachel had locked it."Arghhhh!" I fell down as Rachel pushed my

    NADLYN"Shhh!" Elisa told me to be quiet, her index finger on my lips. I closed my lips tightly."It's safe," Elisa said again, pulling her finger away from my lips.My eyebrows raised in surprise. Why did she tell me to keep my mouth shut?"Why mum?" I ask her."Just be alert. Because someone is watching us." Elisa said with a faint smile, then quickly finished her task of treating my wounds. I felt something warm embrace my heart. Alpha Mother had been very kind to me. She already knew that I was the real Queen Luna. Maybe that's why she cared so much for me. But how did she know? No wonder Rachel was so angry with me, because Alpha Mother's attitude was certainly different."If she hurts you again, I'll give her a warning." Alpha Mother looked at me seriously. She had finished and was about to get up from her position as she told me to eat. "When you're finished, have someone pick it up and clean it up."I nodded in understanding. Then Alpha Mother's smile returned. "Thank you, Mu

    NADLYNThe full moon had arrived, a full eclipse visible through my bedroom window. I could clearly hear the wolves howling. They were releasing their emotions. Before the eclipse Alpha Mother told me that I must not leave this room. I must lock myself in and not let the wolves come in to mark me. I knew that if I hadn't been marked by my mate, I would have to take care of myself so that the other wolves wouldn't mark me. But I never expected Damian to mark me. He doesn't love me. I let out a long breath, then quickly closed the window Damian had used to enter the room.Before I closed it, I was surprised to see a shadow pass by. I almost swore."I wasn't wrong," I murmured as I rubbed my eyes a few times. "Is that the wolf that hunts here?" I muttered to myself, feeling my hair stand on end, I should close this curtain and go to bed. I don't want to get bitten."Wait!"I was shocked, a hand stopping my movement. I thought it was someone else, but when I saw Damian coming, I breathed

    NADLYNThe temple was used as the venue for the holy wedding of Alpha Damian and Lady Rachel. I was the representative who escorted Lady Rachel to meet Alpha Damian and hear their vows. Apparently a mate bond is real, for I felt the pain deeply.I closed my eyes for a moment, then took a few breaths. I took a step back when Lady Rachel no longer needed me. I couldn't bear to see her anymore. So I decided to get out of there."Hello, we finally meet again."I turned to find Arthur. It had been a long time since I had seen him, as he had always been confined to the palace. I smiled happily when I saw him. He was still the same, always handsome. But I didn't have a crush on him, I just thought of him as a friend."Arthur, how are you? Are you all right?" I asked him.He smiled slightly. "I should be the one asking you, are you okay?" Arthur asked me back."I'm very well, don't worry. I think I want to ask you a lot of things. But it can't be here," I said as I looked around and saw many

    AUTHOR'S POV"Thanks for dropping me off, Arthur. I'm so glad I found these important books, I'll read them. If there is a chance to go out, I will definitely see you." Nadlyn said as she looked at Arthur who was about to leave. They were outside the palace. As the party was still going on, the palace was quiet."Yes, come in. I'm going home. Take good care of yourself and remember what I said earlier.""Of course, be careful on the way!"The two parted ways, Nadlyn quickly entering the palace and heading for her room. Accidentally bumping into someone, Nadlyn's eyes widened as she saw the person's face."Oh my, Damian! You startled me! Aren't you supposed to be at the shrine with Lady Rachel?" Nadlyn asked after stroking her chest. Fortunately, the books she was carrying didn't fall over, as Nadlyn had very quick reflexes."I'm not Damian." He spoke with a flat face."Huh?" Nadlyn gaped. How could this man in front of her not be Damian? Was he trying to cheer her up and make her laug

    Evening came quickly and everyone was busy preparing for tonight's dinner, as they were expecting important guests from several other kingdoms, including Rachel's father.Still in her wedding dress, Rachel looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was in her room with Nadlyn. She also told Nadlyn to get dressed up for her father's arrival."Show me our old chemistry. I don't want you to worry about us being apart. It will let you know that you are my biggest enemy right now," Rachel said as she looked at Nadlyn in the mirror."Yes Lady Rachel, I can act perfectly. You don't need to worry. I won't let you down and embarrass you, because it's not just dinner with your father, is it? There are also some princes and werewolf kings from other countries.""Of course, especially since Damian's twin brother is already here, don't go near him either! He's not on your level and he can't know the truth!""I never told anyone, Lady Rachel." Nadlyn defended herself."What about Alpha Mother? How

    The food, ready to be served on the large dining table, made them all want to start eating immediately. There was a variety of sumptuous foods, but mostly fresh meat in various preparations.Nadlyn was happy to be in their midst, although she was a little worried that Rachel would be angry with her. She also felt Rachel's piercing gaze on her. "You love Nadlyn as much as you love your own daughter, William?"Nadlyn raised her head when she heard her name mentioned by Elisa. All the others turned their attention to her as well."Yes, that's right. She's like my own daughter." King William smiled sincerely as he looked at Nadlyn, then turned to Rachel who seemed to be looking at him differently, King William had caught her expression and he realised that Rachel was a little jealous. King William smiled as he looked at the others to add something. "Of course, Rachel is my first favourite child, so if I can adopt Nadlyn as my second child, my second daughter, Rachel will be happy because

    Dario had to follow Damian. He knew what Damian had to tell him, but Dario decided to wait. When they were alone, Damian let go of Dario. They faced each other and stared at each other."You want to make me suffer?" Damian spoke as he gave Dario a sharp look."Why, are you talking about Nadlyn?" asked Dario who gave Damian a sharp look back."I don't want to mention her name, but you know what I mean," Damian said, causing Dario to snigger."I brought it up because you only want your wife, don't you think about how she feels?""I can't, I won't let her go. She has to stay here!"Dario chuckled softly, he had always thought Damian was selfish. But Dario was going to take Nadlyn with him anyway, without telling Damian. That had been Elisa's plan. His mother supported him."I've got business, move!" Dario decided to leave, leaving Damian, who looked upset that he hadn't resolved his issues with Dario. Damian felt his twin had ignored him."Dario! I'm not done talking yet!" Damian shouted

    Erland, who was standing next to Damian, was very curious what his son was talking about with Joshua on the other side. He couldn't wait to ask, especially when he heard Damian's panicked words."Why Damian? What's going on?" Erland asked."Actually, can you explain it to me?" said Damian, who spoke to Joshua before handing the phone to his father.Erland also got an explanation from Joshua about what was happening. Erland himself looked surprised and thought the same thing that Joshua had told Damian."If that's the case, you'll have to leave the palace with Nadlyn tonight. If we wait until tomorrow, we don't know what will happen. Besides, we're in their territory, so we can't guarantee that we'll get out unharmed or that we won't end up as their prisoners," Erland said, thinking it through."But will it be easy to get out of here? There will definitely be a lot of guards here, father. They must have known where we went when we took King Damian. They're even prepared to keep an eye

    Nadlyn had just finished her shower when she looked up to see Mrs. Alpha getting dressed. Then it was Mrs. Alpha's turn to shower. Luckily, this room had its own bathroom so they didn't have to go outside."Mom, can we go home tomorrow?" Nadlyn asked Elisa."Yes, Erland will tell William later. Right after you shower, we'll go out for dinner," Elisa said, and Nadlyn nodded.In about twenty minutes, Nadlyn and Elisa were done with their activities. They both left the room immediately and saw Damian and Erland who had just come out, followed by the rest of the pack including Arthur. So they went together to the dining room, which had been prepared with a very large table. As usual, Nadlyn sat next to Elisa and Arthur. She continued to keep her distance from Damian. But this time Nadlyn had the feeling that she was being watched by King William and his wife."Are you uncomfortable?" Nadlyn heard the voices of the unseen beings because she was an elf."I know something, King William alrea

    When they arrived at the Lexington docks, they were met by the horse-drawn carriage that King William had ordered. Nadlyn chose to sit next to Elisa and Arthur. They had talked about it before. So Nadlyn and Damian kept their distance for a while. They wouldn't be here for long, probably they would go home after the memorial service, because they had something to do."The market is busy here," Elisa said, engaging Nadlyn in conversation."Yes, Mother, it's very busy here because King William likes to help people, so many people take refuge in this city," Nadlyn exclaimed with a sweet smile."That's good, it should be the same in Drakela. But humans rarely go there unless they're invited by us," Elisa grumbled."It's here because King William often goes to scary places, like when he saved me. No human can just walk in there without his permission, Mother," Nadlyn said, and Elisa nodded.The carriage arrived in the kingdom of Lexington. They all got out of the carriage with their luggag

    Damian told the rest of the pack what had really happened, and some of them also knew the fact that Nadlyn was the real Queen Luna."Do you think we should hide this fact or let King William know the truth?" Damian asked the pack members for their opinion."If we hide it, of course they'll find out," said Troy, one of the pack members."Yeah, you're right. Now that we all know, we can't forget about our enemy, who already knows. He might use this moment to make our relationship with the Lexington Kingdom even worse. We have to stop that before it happens," Joshua explained to a nod from Damian."Do we have to make an announcement now, when the sad news about Rachel and I are just afraid that King William will be angry or misunderstood?" said Damian, still thinking hard."I don't think so," Xavier said."Right, everyone will think the worst. We'll make an announcement after the event King William is holding in Rachel's memory. Besides, Rachel's body cannot be brought to the kingdom. Ki

    Nadlyn and Damian came out as soon as their mother told them that dinner was ready. They gathered around the dining table because the other werewolves had eaten first, so there were only Elisa, Erland, Arthur, Damian and Nadlyn at the table. Elisa also closed the room for privacy when they gathered."How is Nadlyn?" Elisa asked as they began to take their meals one by one. As usual, Nadlyn and Arthur ate mostly vegetarian."She's better, just still a little weak." Nadlyn replied as she put some food into her mouth."The energy is drained quite a bit, it seems the power Nadlyn used was big enough to make a fight," Arthur said in a low voice because he didn't want to be overheard by the werewolves out there.Elisa nodded in understanding, then handed him a drink made from natural herbal ingredients. "Drink this after your meal to restore your condition. You just need to rest and eat well," Elisa explained, earning a small nod from Nadlyn."Thank you, Mother." Nadlyn smiled broadly and c

    "Nadlyn, you're awake," said King William, who immediately sat down on Nadlyn's left side and looked at the woman anxiously.Nadlyn nodded weakly. "Sorry, Nadlyn can't take care of Rachel..." Nadlyn said suddenly."What exactly happened? You can tell Father," King William said as Damian immediately approached Nadlyn."I'm sorry King William, we'd better leave this place at once and recover Nadlyn's condition first. Nadlyn must still be very weak, she needs to be taken care of," Damian said, getting nods of agreement from the others."Alright, we should get out of here." As King William started to carry Nadlyn, Damian suddenly stopped him."I'll do it, King." Damian immediately lifted Nadlyn's body into his arms. He made Nadlyn walk first, fortunately King William made no comment. Until this moment, King William had not known that Nadlyn was the real Luna."If we're going to walk for a long time, it's better to use our powers," said Erland, who got a nod of agreement from his wife.Wit

    The fire was spotted by Damian, Erland, William, Elisa and Arthur, who were on their way to where Nadlyn and Rachel were. They panicked and thought the worst."A fire over there? Is that a bad sign?" Elisa said frantically, thinking that Nadlyn was in trouble. She was afraid it would be too late to save her."We have to get there quickly. I don't want anything bad to happen to Rachel and Nadlyn," William said, which made them all use their powers to run quickly through the forest.But before they could get there, rain and lightning suddenly struck the ground and stopped their movement. Of course, they were surprised, especially Arthur, who realized that this change in the weather was not due to nature, but because something was happening."It's raining, shall we continue?" Elisa asked the others."Of course, what if something happens to our child?" said Erland, which made Elisa nod."All right, let's continue our journey." Elisa started walking again, hand in hand with Erland.Damian

    William looked at Erland and Damian in turn. He suspected that they were hiding something. Hadn't he been resting in his room the last time? Then how could he be here?"Elisa," Erland called when he saw Elisa's figure with Arthur."William, you've finally come. We have to go right away, your children are in danger," said Elisa, who immediately said that Elisa came as a savior because she didn't say that Rachel had kidnapped Nadlyn.It was a good idea and Erland hadn't thought of it. "What do you mean my kids are in danger?" William asked because he didn't know anything."Sorry, the two of us were forced to take you away from the palace because we wanted to take you to look for Rachel and Nadlyn, who suddenly disappeared.""Disappeared? How could that be? Why didn't you say so when you arrived at the palace?""Sorry King William, can you say it later? We need to go to the Dead Village. They might be there," Arthur interrupted, causing them all to immediately resume their steps and head

    During the meal, Damian and Erland did not raise any suspicions, so the atmosphere at the table was very calm and harmonious. After dinner, they left the table immediately. Some tidied up first, especially those who worked for the palace. Then they could go back to their respective homes.Damian and Erland exchanged glances full of determination before planning a series of steps to carry out their mission. They made sure that no one knew of their plan, not even the loyal guards of the palace.Erland and Damian turned off the palace's light sources so that no lamps were lit, and the flames from the torches were extinguished in an instant by the two of them."We have one minute before they give us light," Erland whispered to Damian."Alright, let's take this shortcut to the ship," said Damian, who got a nod from Erland.The two of them went straight to King William's room. There King William seemed to be weak because of Erland's plan and Damian managed to mix a potion into his food to w
