"Happy birthday, my dear daughter." My mom immediately hugged my body very tightly while giving me a kiss on my face. I hugged her back tightly too, and smiled widely. I chuckled as we released our hug. And after that, my father came over and rubbed my cheeks with slow movements. A big smile appeared on his face. "Little did I know, now, my daughter, the future Luna of The Crescent Moon Pack is already eighteen years old. Old enough to know all the duties and obligations she will take on as a Luna of this pack. Happy birthday, dear. May all your wishes come true." “Thank you, mom and dad. And thanks to all of you." I smiled widely and looked at all the werewolves in the hall of The Crescent Moon Pack right now. "You're welcome, Miss Luciana..." They exclaimed and answered my words. The happy birthday song was sung by all the werewolves in the hall right now. I stood in front of a white two-tiered tart decorated with chocolate, one of my favorite flavors. With a candle shaped like
Brak I was instantly holding my choked breath now. Both of my palms had even sealed my lips tightly, so as not to make the slightest sound now. The sweat that soaked my entire body, and the tears that ran down my face, felt even more suffocating to my uncertain feelings right now. I prayed that they wouldn't find me and The Crescent Moon Pack's heirloom. I have to keep that heirloom at all costs. And putting the heirloom inside the secret wall is the right way right now. If I were to keep the box containing The Crescent Moon Pack's heirloom with me, then my safety as well as the heirloom's safety would be in danger. "Are you sure that the girl and the heirloom are in this room?" The voice of a man with a very hoarse tone of voice was immediately heard. "I'm sure that the girl brought the heirloom here. But where?" Another man's voice answered over there. I felt even colder and my body trembled with fear. Every step of their two feet that could be heard walking further into the bas
"So that's your real purpose?" I asked while looking right at the man with an incredulous look. "After all the terrible and horrible things you did to my entire family... you just want to take the The Crescent Moon Pack's heirloom?" I shook my head and raised my right palm and rubbed my tear-filled face roughly. I no longer cared about the pain and sting I was feeling. Especially with the man in front of me right now. When I finished saying that, he immediately lowered his right palm that was stretched out right towards me earlier. The man looked at me with both his sharp and cold eyes, but I wasn't as weak as he thought. "You could say that. I sent a message to your dad, the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack about a month ago, to ask for this pack's heirloom in kind. In return, I won't take you as my mate, the only daughter they have, and you can stay in your pack, without the need to live with me. You do know about the matting stuff, right? And yes, a little girl like you would kn
"Hhh..." I opened my eyelids very quickly as I felt my entire body being slammed by something very hard. The impact caused a very tight feeling inside my chest. I inhaled and exhaled very quickly, and hoped that the tightness and pain in my chest would disappear. I blinked both of my eyelids in a very quick motion, as I realized that the very bright light before me and also around me was really disturbing the sight of both of my eyes right now. But when my eyes began to see very clearly, I realized that I was now in a room that was very strange to myself. A room that I had never recognized before. Even more so with the surrounding scent in this room. All of this feels very foreign to me right now. I tried to turn my head, but all parts of my body felt very stiff. I couldn't move the fingers on my hands and feet now. I closed my eyelids for a moment, and tried to catch my breath again. I hope this isn't a dream. I'm not really dead. I was back to life. I kept saying all the positive
Third POV "Isn't that the girl's voice?" Elijah asked directly to Emrys, the female witch who was concocting medicinal potions inside her room there. Emrys looked straight at Elijah who was frowning frantically. "I think it's true. That seems to be the girl's voice." Emrys replied mutteringly while putting back the herbal ingredients that were in the palm of his hands there. "I'll check it out." Elijah muttered, then ran very quickly to the room where Luciana was right now. Elijah ran up the stairs, and opened the door to the room with a swift motion. Elijah looked at the bed, and immediately widened his eyes, unable to find Luciana there. Elijah walked into the room, casting his eyes in every direction in the room. And not long after that, Elijah heard the sound of sobbing on the other side of the bed there. "Oh my... hey..." Elijah muttered with relief when he found Luciana still sitting on the floor with her body bent over crying now. Elijah quickly, walked over to Luciana,
"Wait a minute..." I muttered and tried to prevent the man who had helped me from moving. Slowly, he turned around and looked at me in confusion. "My name is Luciana, Luciana Edith. It would be much worse if I myself didn't even know the name of someone who had helped me. So, what's your name?" I asked slowly. Remembering that I hadn't even asked about names or even the house I'd been living in for the past year. The man instantly broke into a small smile there. "My name is Elijah, Elijah Gray. I am a Lycan King. And this is my pack, my kingdom. The Blodlust Moon Pack." I nodded my head in slow motion. Trying to keep remembering the man's name and also the name of his pack. Elijah Gray and The Blodlust Moon Pack. Both names that felt very unfamiliar to me. Because I had never even met the Lycan King in person before. "Alright. Thanks..." "I'll be right back together with Emrys. Get some rest first then." Elijah quickly walked back out of the room. And I fell silent again. I fe
"Hahahaha!!!"I laughed quite loudly after listening to all the words said by Elijah, Emrys and Josiah over there. I felt both funny and amused as I tried to understand each of their words about my own identity now. Even more so when I looked right at the faces of Elijah, Emrys, and also Josiah who began to show a confused expression while looking at me who was still laughing now. I tried to stop my laughter even though it was very difficult. That instantly made Elijah's hand grip on my shoulder become loose, and he began to frown quite deeply there."Gosh... hahaha... gosh, I can't stop laughing. Ehem... pfftt... that's so funny. I mean, you guys are saying that I'm a hybrid now? Half werewolf and half witch?"I looked back at Elijah, Emrys, and Josiah with a curl of my lips to contain my laughter now. I also blinked my eyelids a few times."Yes, Luciana. We're trying to say that you're no longer an ordinary werewolf. But a hybrid. Half werewolf and half witch."Elijah muttered as he
Third POVElijah walked together with Luciana through the forest to The Crescent Moon Pack's location now. Even with her feet limping slowly, Luciana kept walking with all the strength she had now. Luciana continued to pray and also hoped that the heirloom belonging to The Crescent Moon Pack that she had hidden inside the secret basement wall was still safely hidden there.It had been one year since the events of the most terrifying night of her life. Luciana thought it was about time she should steel her heart and straighten her whole body.After all, her own heart had turned to stone and hardened ever since Harrison Hux, her ex-mate decided to kill all the family and members of The Crescent Moon Pack, reject her as his mate, and make the night of Luciana's eighteenth birthday so devastating. Luciana herself did not want to remember that night. But she was now nineteen years old. One year had passed in vain in her life now. But no matter, Luciana thought to herself over and over agai
Third POV 'THE SILVER COMPANY HAS SUFFERED A MAJOR BANKRUPTCY!''It is known that The Silver Company owned by businessman Mr. Harrison Hux has suffered a major bankruptcy since the decline of confidence from investors. This is a very unbelievable thing. Especially, considering that The Silver Company was already quite famous among other entrepreneurs, with very good grades. Their ideas were always trustworthy and easily attracted customers.''Everything changed when the issue of the affair that Miss Felicity Rey, the fiancée of Mr. Harrison Hux, had with Mr. Juan Walter, a model, was finally revealed to the public. In addition, another issue that encouraged investors to withdraw all their investments was Mr. Harrison Hux's involvement in the death of his former secret lover, Miss Luciana Edith.''There is not much information we can get about who Miss Luciana Edith really is now. But what is now being investigated is the involvement of Mr. Harrison Hux as well as Miss Felicity Rey, i
Third POVLucia and Elijah looked straight and slightly confused at the women, and children who were walking together right in front of them. Right behind them, Emrys, as well as Josiah were following along as they cast a bit of magic, so that no one else could follow them now. In addition, Elijah and Lucia began to wonder, because they both did not see Felicity's presence who came and walked together with the women and children there.Lucia herself immediately frowned at seeing that now. Elijah, on the other hand, began to look around, making sure that the women and children were spared from Harrison's other followers. The women and children looked gratefully at Lucia and Elijah now."You all came here alone? Where's Felicity?"Lucia immediately asked the middle-aged woman walking in front of her. Lucia walked right up to them all now. Meanwhile, Elijah was standing right behind Lucia there."Miss Felicity can't come, Miss Lucia." The middle-aged woman replied quietly."But why, wasn
Third POVLucia looked right at Elijah's warriors before her now. The warriors were practicing very hard, and also dexterously. Judging from the movements made by Elijah's warriors, they looked very fast and also very agile. The Elijah warriors also looked much stronger than the warriors Harrison had in the past. Their speed could not even be matched anymore. Lucia propped up her chin with her right hand there, while sighing slowly. It had been almost a couple of hours since the warriors had been practicing so vigorously, and all of them did not look even the slightest bit tired until now.And Lucia's eyes were starting to feel sleepy and also a little tired there. Besides, last night, Lucia had also said too many things to Felicity. Things that she didn't think about at all. Because, Lucia herself was already feeling very upset and also could no longer hold back the anger and resentment that was increasingly felt peaking in her heart, and also her mind at that time.Lucia could even
Third POV"No... that's definitely not possible. You're definitely not Luciana! You are Lucia Hazel Gray, Elijah Gray's sister. You have no connection to Luciana whatsoever. You are not the real Luciana. Luciana Edith died a year ago. You only confessed and lied to me to make me feel scared, and believe all the things you're saying now!"Felicity screamed at the top of her lungs, and tried even harder to free herself."Elijah Gray is not my brother, Felicity. He is the one who saved me from the dead, one year ago. And I am really Luciana Edith."Lucia paused her words for a moment, and immediately knocked Felicity's body away from her with a great deal of force there. It instantly caused Felicity a great deal of pain, and she coughed, as she pressed against her neck, which felt very stiff, and her breathing, which felt very labored."That night, right at the edge of this ravine... I was lying on the ground dying and covered in blood. With the despair I felt that night, I asked the Moo
Third POVTwo days later....Felicity stepped out with slow steps there. Her face looked very pale and she was sweating almost all over her body now. Felicity walked alone through a very dark and lonely forest area. Even though she was a werewolf, walking alone in the forest, without the warrior or Harrison, still felt quite terrifying to her. But Felicity had to keep walking, to be able to stop the curiosity and worry she was feeling right now.Felicity herself had finally decided to come alone to the location of The Crescent Moon Pack now. Felicity had thought about all the possibilities that would happen in the past few days. But Felicity, with the determination and compulsion she felt, finally ventured to enter and visit The Crescent Moon Pack's territory."I think it would have been better if I had come here with one or two of Harrison's warriors. Although the relationship between me and Harrison has deteriorated until now, at least he is still willing to give me protection. It's
Third POV"Wh-what? What did you say, Elijah?"Lucia took a few steps back with her face looking deathly pale there. Lucia could even feel her legs feeling very weak now. Lucia did not even notice the change in his facial expression."I... I'm your mate?" Lucia whispered.She simply could not believe what Elijah had just said there. Lucia even shook her head several times with slow movements there. Lucia lowered her head, and began to think about what Elijah had said."That's right, Lucia. You are my mate. Mine. And I am also your mate. Yours." Elijah muttered slowly with his feelings still filled with worry and doubt right now.On top of that, Elijah himself didn't feel entirely ready to be able to tell Lucia the truth, in such an abrupt manner right now. Elijah wanted to tell Lucia the truth in a rather romantic way. But what else could Elijah do now, everything was out in the open. Lucia listened to the conversation between herself, Emrys, and Josiah there. There was no reason to k
Day had turned into night now, and I was still sitting quietly in my room alone. I thought, there are still quite a few things I need to prepare before actually taking Harrison to war. I mean, there was no way I could kill the women, children, and the elderly in The Silver Moon Pack. I did want to avenge all the things that had happened to me, and my entire family to Harrison, and his pack. But not by blindly killing those who are innocent, and not interfering with the heinous deeds Harrison committed one year ago.This is still a dilemma in my own mind. And I still find it quite difficult to come up with the right answer. Although, of course, I know which answer I should choose now. It's just that I want to make sure and also think about all those things much more deeply now. I don't want to be too rash by making the wrong decisions and answers later. I don't want to regret the decision and the answer that I get.Tightly, I grasped my family's heirloom gem in the palm of my right han
Third POVAfter Harrison and Felicity's departure from the Gray Company with simultaneous feelings of shame and resentment. It made Elijah and Lucia start to feel a little calm with the situation that they were able to deal with quite well now. Elijah and Lucia had managed to get Harrison and Felicity to leave with a feeling of resentment now.However, Harrison and Lucia will never be able to let Harrison and Felicity feel suspicious about their involvement in the dissemination of videos, photos, and voice recordings that raise the issue of the affair between Felicity and Juan. A model who was paid by Elijah to cooperate with him and Lucia."Another thing we have to do now is to ensure the safety of Juan, Elijah. After all, Juan has cooperated well with us. So it is also our duty to ensure Juan's safety and security. I feel very confident that Harrison will make every effort to meet with Juan in order to get the information and answers that he and Felicity need in this situation."Luc
"What do you mean by that, Harrison?"Felicity seemed to be clenching her palms very tightly now. I felt my heart beating fast because of that now. I even began to sense that Felicity's eyes were starting to sharpen towards Harrison in front of her now. Felicity seemed to really dislike what Harrison had just said. But if you think about it, of course, what Harrison said was true. Felicity had to take responsibility for everything Harrison had done in the past."You're still blaming me for all the bad things you did to the rest of The Crescent Moon Pack? You're even still blaming me for making you feel compelled to do something bad, to convince me that you deserve me?"Felicity leaned back against the chair she was sitting in. There was tension between Felicity and Harrison now, and it instantly made Elijah grasp my left palm tightly."I'm not trying to blame you, Felicity. Because that is a fact. If you had accepted me right away, I wouldn't have been so reckless in my actions."Harr
