Chapter 55Pov Rebecca My eyes widened. "Yes. I think this is indeed my family's necklace. Ah, why did I just realize this? Isn't my family the only one with a necklace like this?" I pondered. "But ...."Doubts wrapped around me again.Then, I turned to Luke. "Luke, but it doesn't seem possible. Because... I haven't had a family since I was a kid."Luke was silent. He, who had been so confident that it was indeed my necklace, did not contradict me."Rebecca." He looked back at me intently. "Right now I don't have any answers about the necklace. But, I promise I'll find out about it, okay?"I nodded enthusiastically. "That makes me happy, Luke. Thank you.""Okay." Luke clapped his palms together. "Then let's enjoy this beautiful moonlight."I nodded in agreement. "Come on, I'm going to pick up Luke who's still with Ovy."Then, we both went downstairs to the terrace and walked towards the place where Lukas was. I slowed my pace to keep up with Luke's limping."Luke," I chirped after ea
Chapter 56Luke's POVI saw Rebecca's beautiful eyes filled with a curious look. Those clear eyes seemed to demand a quick answer from my mouth. Meanwhile, I felt like I didn't have the slightest clue about Ken.And finally..."Rebecca ...." I held her shoulders tightly as if to channel the warmth of my heart to her. "Don't think too hard about it now! Because we both don't know. Hopefully, other clues appear. Or... we can make an effort to look for it."And it seemed like my words had gotten into his mind. Because next, he nodded slowly."You're right," he said without hesitation."Okay." I clapped both palms not far from her face. "Then it's time for us to pick up our little hero! We have to get him from Ovy."He smiled in agreement. Then, we proceeded to pick Lukas up.A few moments later, we were on the ground. Lukas was in the middle of us, sleeping soundly in his mama's arms. Likewise, Rebecca, her happy face seemed to illustrate that she had no burden.But, not me. Instead of
Chapter 57Rebecca's POV Luke's sudden order to Delta automatically made me look back. I also looked around the street behind the car.But, I didn't see anything. Neither did Delta."I didn't find anything, Alfa." Delta's reply corroborated my words.Then, I moved until I was sitting at an angle to Luke. "Did you see anything, Luke?"But, he was in no hurry to answer me. "Um, maybe it's just something, or maybe I'm looking at it wrong. Sometimes light refracts things, doesn't it?" He answers without even glancing back at me.I was stunned when I read the look on Luke's face when he said that. He seemed to be covering up something."Luke?" I urged him when I detected that.Luke shook his head slightly for a moment. "Um, I don't want to scare you, but it looks like someone is following us.Ah .... and it does scare me. For a moment I regretted urging Luke to say what he was trying to hide.I wanted to look back to confirm it. But, that would make my movements even more obvious, wouldn'
Chapter 58Rebecca's POV"Luke...!!!"I shouted his name as the burly hand continued to pull my body backward. I tried to struggle, but it seemed my strength was no match for the owner of these sturdy hands.These legs are trying to find a foothold that might resist this pull. But, in vain. Even when my outstretched hand tried to reach for something to hold on to, it could only hold onto a leaf that was eventually uprooted."Ergg!"I growled as my anger combined with fear peaked.I was dragged further and further away from the scene of the fight. Ah! I wish I knew where I was right now!Moments later, the pulling stopped. This burly hand that was holding my arm was released. But I don't know where it went either.It was quiet.Desolate.I only heard the chorus of night animals filling the darkness."Where am I?" I muttered softly. Then, "Luke...!!!" I shouted that name again. Hoping he'd hear it and get me out of this darkness.Suddenly, my nostrils picked up a distinctive smell that
Chapter 59Rebecca's POV "You? Erick?" I could barely believe what I was seeing. The face that was now looking at me hatefully was Erick, a Rogue who was made a warrior by my husband, Luke. Erick, who used to always smile kindly, had now turned into a figure full of anger."Yes. It's me, Rebecca. And I'm sure that you must have forgotten about me!" Erick replied with a restrained voice, full of anger that felt so thick.I was transfixed, unable to digest the reality in front of me. How could Erick, the man my husband had saved, now be a threat? Why did he bring me to this dark place, keeping me away from Luke and Delta? And why... did he have the same necklace as me? That necklace, I felt as if something was whispering in my mind, reminding me of the vague past."You were the one who had attacked the alpha that night?" I asked quickly, trying to gather courage.Erick smiled sarcastically, "I did," he replied without hesitation."But why? And why do you have the same necklace as me?"
Chapter 60Luke's POV Richard and I ran at a speed that only wolves could run under the moonlight. The forest that night looked even more sinister than usual. Tree branches reached out like claws ready to rip apart anyone who dared to pass by, while dark shadows danced between the trees as if following us. The cold night air was suffocating my lungs, but what was choking me was the worry that was stabbing at my heart.Our hands were stained with the blood of the enemies who dared to attack, but there was no sense of victory in them. Feelings of emptiness, anger, and panic mixed. Rebecca, my Luna, was gone. Ever since the surprise attack happened, I couldn't track her down anymore. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared with the shadows of the night."Delta, where's Luna?" my voice sounded hoarse, almost drowning in seething rage. My eyes traced the darkness between the trees, trying to catch the slightest trace that could lead me to Rebecca's whereabouts.Richard, who was always fai
Chapter 61Luke's POV I stood before Rebecca who lay limp on the ground. Red blood flowed profusely from a large gash on her head, soaking her flowing blonde hair. Her breathing was labored, and her normally radiant face now looked pale and lifeless. Her once strong body now only felt like a lightweight in my hands. My heart was torn apart at the sight of my Luna's critical condition.Yet, before me, the black-robed figure still stood calmly, without the slightest hint of emotion. The aura of darkness surrounding him grew stronger, almost suffocating the space around us. I knew she was not an enemy to be underestimated. Although her face was hidden behind the veil of a cloak, I could sense that behind that darkness lay immeasurable evil intent."Rebecca, hold on," I whispered, anxiously, while strengthening my grip on her cold shoulder.Rebecca could only whimper softly in response. Her half-closed eyes tried to focus on my face as if trying to give me a sign that she was still here,
Chapter 62Luke's POV The atmosphere of the palace hospital that night was extremely quiet. Only the sound of Rebecca's regular but weak breathing could be heard in the room as if she was fighting against something invisible. I sat beside her, my cold hand kept a tight grip on her fingers that felt so fragile. Like a leaf that only needs a small touch to fall. Outside, the full moon slowly sank behind gray clouds, as if mourning what had happened to my wife. Every second passed like torture. I tried to figure out what the black-robed figure had done to Rebecca. The wounds on her body were no ordinary wounds-there was something darker, more sinister, flowing in her blood."What does he want from you, Rebecca?" I whispered, even though I knew there would be no answer.My mind was full of possibilities, trying to piece together every bit of events that had happened since the attack. The black-robed figure possessed a power that could not be underestimated. I growled softly, feeling the
