The tense atmosphere at the dining table prompted Damian to quickly change the topic. "Ah, this is delicious, Mom. Let's not argue anymore; I think Rachel has been very attentive to me. Let's continue eating with her before we get back to our respective activities," Damian said, glancing alternately at Elisa and Rachel.Rachel looked irritated, but she restrained her rising anger because Damian had defended her at the dinner table.After the meal, Damian immediately invited Rachel back to their room. They had just reunited after Damian's several days away on a distant island. He felt conflicted about himself. On one hand, he felt guilty for betraying Rachel. He vividly remembered when he truly desired Nadlyn and forgot about Rachel. He thought it was just the influence of his wolf soul. But his heart raced when he felt Nadlyn's touch. He even felt comfortable and imagined enjoying Nadlyn's luscious lips. When he realized he belonged to Rachel and had committed to a marriage, he pushed
"Nadlyn, Damian will be sailing again for his business trip. Don't you want to join him?" Elisa suddenly approached Nadlyn, who was busy watering plants.Nadlyn smiled gently at the woman, briefly looking at her before refocusing on Elisa's flower plants. "I'll join if Damian invites me, Mom. But if he doesn't invite me, maybe because Rachel doesn't allow it, that's okay. I'd rather stay here with you and wait for Dario to come back." Nadlyn's response impressed Elisa."Alright, if that's your decision. I actually don't like how Rachel can be so arbitrary. Have you ever thought about trying to win Damian over from Rachel?" Elisa asked while helping Nadlyn tidy up the flowers and water them.Nadlyn paused her activity after feeling satisfied with her gardening work. She put the tools back in their place. "I'm not ready if Damian isn't ready himself, Mom. Besides, I'm not a pure-blooded werewolf. Some she-wolves might see me as weak if they find out I'm their true Queen Luna. I don't wa
Nadlyn had just finished her tearful drama. Arthur escorted her back to the palace for some rest, and coincidentally, Nadlyn was extremely tired today. She needed to prepare herself for the hike tomorrow.As the day turned into night, Nadlyn fell asleep and forgot to eat, which caused her stomach to suddenly ache when she woke up."Ouch, it hurts so much," Nadlyn mumbled as she curled up in her room. She looked around and realized she was in her room. Nadlyn slowly got out of bed, clutching her aching stomach and feeling queasy.Upon leaving her room, Nadlyn immediately searched for the bathroom. She glanced at a few people who greeted her and managed to nod, while she hurried into the bathroom and closed the door.On the other side, Arthur, who had brought Nadlyn home, stayed in the palace with the Alpha's permission as he was curious about Nadlyn's condition."Excuse me, Alpha, it seems Nadlyn has woken up. Should I call her for dinner now?" one of the Alpha's personal servants aske
To be able to join the activities of the she-werewolves, Nadlyn obediently followed Elisa's instructions, which included eating everything that had been prepared and getting enough rest. So, when Nadlyn woke up, she felt much more refreshed.With enthusiasm, Nadlyn walked out of her room after putting on appropriate climbing attire. She also did some minimal makeup on her face and used a new fabric covering for the part of her face that was still damaged.Elisa informed them that they had all gathered in the backyard of Drakela Castle before entering the forest."Nadlyn," Arthur called out as he suddenly approached her.Nadlyn turned, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Arthur, who was carrying something. "What's up?""Put this on," Arthur said, handing her a bracelet."What is this?" Nadlyn asked curiously."This will protect you and let me know if anything happens to you."Nadlyn suddenly chuckled softly. "I won't be in danger, and I'm going with tough werewolves who will surely pro
"Legendary witch? Why does it have to be him?" Arthur murmured to himself, pondering the meaning of the Moon Goddess's message. If today was the day, did it mean Nadlyn would encounter the legendary witch while climbing with the she-werewolves?Arthur was about to leave the temple to follow Nadlyn, determined to protect her, even though the Moon Goddess had told him he couldn't assist her."Elf Prince, are we too late? We're ready to start the prayer," one of the werewolves suddenly appeared, along with their companions trailing behind.Arthur's eyes widened in confusion. What should he do now? Amidst his uncertainty, he spotted Dario passing by the temple."Wait, you all sit over there for a moment. I need to call Dario first," Arthur requested, briefly excusing himself from the werewolves.He hurried outside and called out to Dario, "Dario!"Dario turned around, a broad smile on his face. They exchanged a quick hug when Arthur reached him. "Elf Prince, you're at the temple? I didn't
Dario and Nadlyn found themselves stranded in an enchanting, ancient chamber, surrounded by displayed ancient artifacts. The sound of their footsteps echoed through the room, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of an ancient king's tomb. Despite the mystery that shrouded the place, Nadlyn felt as if they were alone."Dario, it seems like we're alone in here. What should we do?" Nadlyn asked, her gaze fixed on Dario with a sense of panic.Dario, his eyes glued to the message he received from Arthur, quickly informed Nadlyn about the message."Nadlyn, I've received a message from Arthur. The Moon Goddess informed him that the curse on half of your face can be healed if we find a legendary sorcerer who resides in this place."Nadlyn beamed with joy upon hearing the news. The curse on her face had been a burden for years, and now there was hope for healing it after their previous attempts with Arthur had failed."This is our chance, Dario! We must find this legendary sorcerer," Nadlyn said
Nadlyn was in shock as she witnessed the werewolf attacking Dario."Dario!" she cried out as Dario was carried away from her.A sudden unexpected attack befell Dario. He fell hard, was thrown back, and collided with a large tree.The assailant was none other than Damian, Dario's twin, who had apparently returned to Drakela. His face was unrecognizable. His red eyes radiated wild and bloodthirsty lust.Nadlyn, a beautiful woman with long black hair, panicked as she watched the conflict. She recognized Damian, but he seemed completely overtaken by his werewolf nature, which had made him lose control. She feared that both of them would be severely injured."Damian, stop!" Nadlyn shouted with a trembling voice. "It's me, Nadlyn! Do you remember me?"With a bewildered expression, Damian slowly ceased his attack. He glanced at Nadlyn briefly, trying to sense her presence amidst the turmoil consuming him.But time was not on their side in this battle. Dario, severely wounded, lay helpless. H
Nadlyn entered her room with slow steps, as if each step was a heavy burden she had to bear. Her room, once full of laughter and happiness with Dario, was now a lonely room filled with unforgettable memories. Dario, someone who had always been there for her and protected her, had now left her.It all happened so fast, it was hard to believe. Nadlyn was still brooding over the tragic event and her heart was filled with regret. She was the one who had invited Dario to join her in the search for his cover-up, and now she felt that she was the cause of Dario's death. Nadlyn felt guilty and devastated.Outside of her room, the sounds of whispering and murmuring could not be ignored. Everyone in her neighborhood had heard about Dario's death. They did not stop talking, blaming or sympathizing with Nadlyn. Even Mrs. Alpha herself felt a deep sense of loss, because Dario was part of her family.Despite all this, Nadlyn did not ignore the Alpha mother. She knew that Mrs. Alpha was also in deep
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
