last update Last Updated: 2022-07-23 18:18:01

ANTHONY had dropped on the floor with his knees while weeping. In the end, his own father’s guards were the ones who shot him.

“I’m sorry, Dad. I was wrong,” Anthony whispered while blood was pouring down from different parts of his body. He fell beside his father and tried reaching out to hold his hand. “Would you believe me if I say that I did all those terrible things because I was waiting for you to notice me? And you finally noticed me tonight, Dad. You’ve always been blaming me for not being good enough no matter how much I tried, always comparing me to my brothers. While you brag about them, telling the world how much you love them, you hide me out of shame. Until the very last minute, I didn’t hear you say you love me. But tonight, I felt your love although it was too late. I love you too, Dad. In our next life, if I get to be your son again, I will be good. I will make you proud,” he whispered before closing his eyes.

  • The Luna's Prey   Chapter 40: Somewhere In His Heart

    LUTHER’S efforts, his honesty, his vulnerability which he only seems to reveal in front of me, his guts, his heart: scarred but bold, I found all of them attractive. Tonight, he made sure that no threat will ever reach me. He lets me fight because he knew I could win.When I look at him, I could see this strange faith he had in me. I didn’t even know where it came from. And if ever I don’t win, he would be behind me as if to make sure that I would still achieve victory.Like the wolves that we saved, Luther was wounded, too. I couldn’t see his wounds. But I knew they exist. Somewhere in his heart, I knew they were there. It was just sad that the cause of his wounds were not his enemies, but his own family. And this battle will keep scarring him.As we go on, the more he fights, the more he finds out the truth, the greater and bigger his wounds will be. He knew that. Still, the determination in his eyes didn’t fade away.Because like me, he wanted to see this through until the end.“I

    (Alexandra)“IT’S GOING to hurt at first. But hey, you will be okay,” I heard Luther whisper to the little girl in the backyard. I think she was about nine to ten years old. The other kids were in the garden. I could hear their sheer laughter as they play with Beatrix, Kenji, and other volunteers.She was the only child who didn’t join the activities we laid out for the children here in Saint Vincent orphanage. I heard from the staff that this girl with brown curly hair just arrived two days ago. Her mother left her here and since then, she hadn’t talked to anyone, even to the staff, and was just quietly waiting for her mother’s return.To my surprise, Luther came to her with a big teddy bear in his hand and sat next to her. For the past days, we had been active in things like this. While the elites were attacking each other, we decided to lie low. They knew that Luther had turned his back on them completely, but things were okay for now since what happened at the auction house had ma

    “MOM, I’m so glad you called! Thank you for-““I called because I heard the semester will be over in a few days’ time. Don’t come here again, Alexandra. Do not come unless we tell you to.”My smile faded. This was the first time my mother called, the first time that I was thankful about human devices. I thought she had missed me somehow. I guess I was wrong.“Why aren't you saying something? Don’t tell me you’re planning to visit San Antonio again?"“I only wanted to stay overnight. Or I could just drop by and chat with you, with Serena, and with the Alpha at least for an hour and then I’d leave right away after that-““No! Didn’t you hear what I just said? We already have so many problems here, Alexandra! Stop including yourself on the list!”“I’m sorry, Mom. I just really want to see you all in person,” I replied meekly while looking at the photos Serena had sent to me. Both the Luna and the Alpha were there, smiling as they stood behind her. I wanted to be in that picture, too. I n

    THERE he was again, sending my heart in chaos with those words.“I don’t think I’ve done enough for you to see me that way, Luther. I’m not even sure I know the colors you were talking about.”“You knew. Maybe you just forgot. Do you want me to tell you about them? Maybe then you’d be reminded of them.”“Go on. Let me hear it.”I needed to hear it. I needed to know because I wanted to see the same colors he was seeing, to experience the same feeling he experienced. If I truly forgot them, then I want to remember them now.“Blue is what I feel each time I have you close to me like this. It’s this peaceful feeling that I can only find when I’m with you.”I closed my eyes and tried to picture the colors he was describing.“Whenever we kiss, I would be reminded of red, of fire and passion. When we argue, I’m reminded of what the sky looks like when it’s about to rain. It’s gray. And darling when you smile, even if it’s night time, I feel like I’m seeing the sun. It was that bright, that d

    (Alexandra)“AFTER you are done using the human, I expect you to dispose of him properly, Alexandra. He was useful to us. So, give him as much compensation as he wants. Since Giovanni has imprinted you already, we are expecting the two of you to tie the knot next. That kid has so much potential. Your trainers have seen him and said that among the alphas, he was the only one who could come next to you when it comes to speed and strength. He’s a half-breed, but it does not matter. He has surpassed so many wolves after he survived his first phasing. With the combination of your genes, the future generation will be stronger and more powerful.”I love my parents and my pack. I really do. I just didn’t like the way they refer to Luther as an object. The humans had become beasts to protect themselves from the wolves. But I fear that the wolves were becoming as coldblooded as humans in their desire to win. I understand that it was necessary but must they do this to their own kin as well?The

    “DOES this mean that Luther could be dead as we speak?” Clay asked. “That’s too bad. It will be hard to find another tool that we could use for the plan.”I could feel my eyes changing color. Clay’s eyes widened upon meeting mine. There was wonder and fear in his eyes. His body quaked. My fingernails dug in his shoulders when I grabbed him. Every word that came out of his mouth made my blood simmer. He was saying he felt bad and yet, he looked relieved.My voice resounded in the entire house when I spoke, “Luther is not just a tool! He is not just any other human! He is my husband! And he is my mate! He has the same mark as me! I saw it! Talk to him that way one more time and I will not hesitate to pluck your tongue and teeth and to turn you into a useless wolf, do you understand?”“I-I do. I’m sorry, Alexandra,” Clay said.When I chucked him on the wall, he unexpectedly shifted in his wolf form and whimpered.I’ve had enough for today. My parents looked too stunned to speak. But this

    AND HE stood still, waiting for my every word when he should be rushing to rest or to get treated. How come that my own pack always seem to struggle listening to my own voice when this human had no problem hearing it? He just kept seeing me for who I was.In his eyes, I could see my flawed self clearly. But I found acceptance with the way he looked at me. I found beauty in things that others would normally regard as ugly or scary.“Go on, darling. What do you want to tell me?”I cleared my throat. And gradually, I could feel my eyes changing back to normal. “You know I was with my pack, with my friends, with people I call home, and I still thought I should be somewhere else. That I should be with you.”His eyes widened.“You won, Luther. This doesn’t make sense even to me but I can’t deny this any longer. I have fallen in love with you,” I said and held his cheeks.So, this was what it meant to fall in love. It stresses you out. It makes your heart leap out of your chest from worry. I

    (Alexandra)“DRIVE as fast as you can, Carlos. If we reach our destination in less than thirty minutes, I will give you a bonus,” Luther commanded the driver before he pulled me inside the backseat of his Mercedes Benz. We were supposed to ride Isaac’s car, but Carlos came rushing with Luther’s own car. So, Isaac and three more guards would follow us in another car until we get home.“Why didn’t you bring guards earlier? This wouldn’t have happened if you had brought them with you,” I told Luther as he sat beside me.“Today was the first time I met with your pack as your husband. I didn’t want them to think that I was afraid of them. I didn’t want them to be uncomfortable, too. I was already enough to cause them extreme distress.”I sighed. “Next time, wherever you go, whether it’s in the woods or not, you have to remember to bring your guards with you, Luther. By the way, did you see the person who tried to kill you?”Instead of answering, Luther took his bandage off. I gasped. “What

    LUTHER’S fingers grazed my cheek as he stared at my face. He swallowed when he glanced at my lips. Seconds later and he pulled my head and waist as he claimed my mouth. He nibbled on my lower lip, urging me to open my mouth and when I did, he hungrily pushed his tongue in until our tongues met.When he finally let my mouth go, he took a rough breath and rubbed his erection against my stomach. “You look so lovely again today that I just wanna devour you right here, right now, Mrs. Sinclair.”Although completely aroused, I held it in and just smiled. “You can’t. Dad texted me an hour ago and said he’s preparing a victory party for me. We need to go back to San Antonio. How did you even escape from Iris?”“No worries. I told them that I was promised a date and I would claim that promise today. They seemed to understand. Dad told us to take our time, he’ll look after our princess. She even happily let me leave by myself. She had one thing to say, though. She said it’s her Christmas wish.”

    (Valerian)“THE ROYAL family from the wolf empire is here to give their greetings and gifts to Your Majesty,” Matteo, the host of the event, announced. The guards opened the castle doors and from there, Alexandra, Luther, and their daughter appeared and walked towards the center of the hall, towards me.After Alexandra’s wolf reappeared, her hair was back to being crimson and so was her daughter’s. Luther’s hair, however, was still ink-black. It was the only thing he retained from his human genes. But whenever these three were on the edge of their emotions just like what happened in San Antonio before, their hair would all turn crimson along with their eyes.Together, these three could move mountains.Iris was at their middle. I stared at the Luna Queen, she was as stunning as before, but whenever I see her lately, her beauty just transcends everyone around her in another level. I guessed it was the radiance in her eyes. She was happy and it showed. She was shining more than ever.See

    ‘THE CRAZIEST thing in the world happened, but I cannot tell you about it yet, little sis. Telling you will spoil whatever scheme your moon goddess is cooking up. So, don’t get too disappointed if I will shut up for now. But be assured that Val is okay. He was just shocked and confused. Let him be. This is his first time being in this state. It’s actually fun to watch him rattled,’ Nick assured me. He winked. ‘He will figure it out and he will get over it, trust your big bro.’ ‘When?’ I asked. Nick laughed. ‘In fifteen to twenty years, I guess?’ Nick seemed to be having the best time of his life teasing Valerian. Even now, he was grinning beside Val who just ignored him. He turned to my direction and tenderly smiled. “I’m proud of you,” he mouthed. “I know you will be great.” “Thank you so much,” I replied. Halfway through the red carpet, I glanced at Giovanni who quietly walked with me. Just like my husband, he had come a long way, too. All of us had matured. He had become one

    (Alexandra)MY POSITION was the closest to Beatrix. I could have stopped her from killing herself. But when she shook her head and looked at me with weariness in her eyes as if she was begging me not to take another step, I couldn’t move my feet.This was her wish: to be one with the man she loved. As heartbreaking as it was, I had to respect it.“Beatrix!” her parents yelled and sobbed.She confessed it to me while I was still pregnant. Kenji was the second mate given to her by the moon goddess. It was something she didn’t have the courage to tell even to her own parents knowing that they would not be happy about it anyway. It was rare for wolves to be given another mate after the original one dies. In fact, it was so rare that there were no records of it anywhere.Trix could be the first to experience such phenomenon and there could be a reason behind it, reason which Kenji and Trix had an eternity to discover.My knees staggered, but Luther was quick to grab me by the waist.

    (Beatrix)I HAD a secret that I could never admit to anyone. A month after the tragedy that killed my best friend, I was able to recover. At that time, I was about to go back to my duty in the pack but on my supposed to be last night at the facility, Kenji paid me a visit.His voice was gentle as he talked to me. He spoke like an old friend of mine. His eyes were affectionate as he called my name. He didn’t talk anything about vampires and wolves. Kenji only talked about the time we dated. And I pretended to be crazy so I could keep seeing him, so I could keep being with him in my own way.And maybe I had really gone crazy. Who would have imagined that I could stay in that facility for seven years all for him? For a chance to hear his voice? But for me, that facility had become our secret place, our hideout.‘I’m the world’s richest man. I have everything that money could buy, Trix, but I would swap them all for a day to be with you again, to feel your kisses one more time, your hugs,

    THE WIND grew more violent as each second passed. The birds that were resting on the branches of the trees all squealed and flew away. We were yet to see the hybrids, but we knew they were here. We could feel it as tension sizzled in the air. We could even smell it. Their blood scent was everywhere which meant that we were now surrounded by them.And when Kenji had finally made his appearance, the steel gates flew towards our direction. But we were quick to evade them. There were hundreds of hybrids and they were all wearing red cloaks. I saw the faces of the men who made my mother suffer. And when they sneered at me as if they were remembering the same thing, my blood boiled and my body shook with anger.“The reports are true after all. My best friend and my mentor are indeed in one place and are working together. What a reunion,” Kenji said as he smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. In fact, he had a dead look in his eyes as if he was uncertain about tonight’s outcome as well. When

    I STOOD up and ran my fingers through my scalp. “When you told me to escape with you back then, I wanted to do just that. It was not just you. I wanted so badly to forget, too, Trix! I would do anything to forget even for a day. I want to escape, too! I want to be with you, too! But I can’t forget their cries. It haunts me all the fucking time.”I kneeled before Trix and when I could no longer stop myself, I held her hands and buried my face in them, relishing the familiar warmth that I could not feel in any other place no matter how hard I searched.Only Beatrix could do this to me. If it was not her, it would not work. She was my sanctuary. The voices were still there, I could still hear them. It seemed like I had been cursed to hear them for as long as I lived. Or maybe my mind was just playing with me, maybe I had gone crazy. My mind was a wretched place to be. And so was my heart.But with Beatrix this close to me, the voices were not as loud as before.

    (Kenneth)“HAVE MERCY, your majesty! I am still your father-“The old lying son of a bitch didn’t get to finish his sentence when I swung my sword onto his neck. His head rolled onto the floor along with the rest of the Mages who swore their loyalty to me. It sucks how Valerian was right again. The clan who abandoned me before because I was not as strong as them only came to find me after they heard how I rose to the throne. If I didn’t discover what they were secretly planning to do behind my back, they would have overthrown me and would have tossed me on the streets, poor and powerless.Their plan backfired, though. I killed them before they could even do that to me. Using a spell, I stole all of their magic.They were only after my throne, my position, and my army. To hell with them all! I don’t need them! They could rot in hell and after all this, I will see them there. In hell will be where our next family reunion will take place.After I killed the man who claimed to be my biolo

    (Alexandra)“GET up, Alexandra. Shift and run with me.”When I heard Dad’s voice, I wiped my tears away and rose. His eyes were full of compassion as if he could relate to what I was feeling. He gave me a soft smile.“Shall we go?”I nodded. When he shifted, I followed him and shifted as well. Together, we ran in the woods as quickly as we could and howled. It was the farewell ritual that I didn’t get to do for Mom before and Dad was allowing me to finally do it for her now.It was seven years late, but I hope Mom could still hear it… including my apology and gratitude. While we were running, I was taken aback by the huge number of wolves who ran behind us including Luther. They howled along with us until we reached the lake once again.When we all transformed, the women took me someplace else and I just let them. They prepared a white silk dress for me to wear. They assisted me as I wore it. When I
