The Missing Luna 53: Can I Kiss You?
*ALEX* One week has already passed, and I hate to admit that I'm right with my guess: Lauren hasn't regained her memory of me yet. My heart was filled with sadness because I have to bring her to the old mansion this afternoon, and hopefully once we finish visiting Granny Ursula's grave, it can trigger her memory. I'm worried that the enemy will hear the news of my mate going back to the old mansion, but since she already had amnesia, maybe they will no longer touch her. We told no one about Lauren's current condition because we wanted it to be top secret, but anything can happen when you least expect it. Hopefully, no one will come after her this time. My father told me not to worry much because he would send a group of elite guards to protect my sister and Lauren. But despite the tight security, I still have fears because anything can happen, and I'm not there to watch over the two women who are both dear to me. I have no choice, though... Lauren was busy putting her clothes and

*ALEX* "Sweetheart, stay calm. I just want to show you something," I said, coming closer to her. She stepped back. "Show me now! Or I will leave the room. You are scaring me!" "Okay." I halted in my tracks. "Please sit down on the bed. We're just going to talk." She settled on the bed, sitting on the edge, her eyes darting to the door. "I'm sorry if I scare you. Please forgive me." I sincerely apologized to her. She took a deep breath. "Start now so that I can get out of here!" She felt restless and anxious. I cleared my throat. "Sweetheart, I brought you here hoping that you would remember our beginning. I didn't mean to scare you, please believe me." My hands ache, wanting to caress her face. "I trust you, Alex. Just say what you want to say to me so that I can finally go back upstairs," she said nervously, looking like she was trapped in a cage. "Okay, listen carefully. I have to tell you my true identity. Um, I'm a werewolf!" I blurted out the words, relieved that I had fi

*ALEX* The servants put the candle and flowers into the vehicles. We piled into our car and quickly reached the cemetery in no time. The weather is good; the horizon was already preparing for sunset. The three of us exited the vehicle and walked to the grave ahead of us. The servant arranged the flowers in the tomb and lit the candles. I was observing Lauren's face the whole time. Right now, even if we are standing in front of Granny Ursula's grave, she shows no emotion at all. She might have sensed that I was watching her because she looked at me and our gazes met. "What?" she asked. "We're already here. Can you say anything to Granny Ursula?" I asked, expecting her to show sadness and tears of longing in her eyes, but that did not happen. She's simply maintaining that poker face of hers. It's kind of a bummer that amnesia can change a person's personality overnight. Lauren fell silent. She continued staring at the tombstone with Granny Ursula's name written on it. I was in d

*ALEX* The following day. I dreamed in my sleep. I was swimming on the beach with Lauren. She was wearing a two-piece swimsuit, looking beautiful as always, and then, out of nowhere, someone slapped my arm and pushed me hard. I ended up falling on the hard floor. "Ouch!" I yelled. When I opened my eyes, my beloved Lauren was looking down at me with a furious look on her face. A quick glance at the window tells me that it's already morning. "Good morning, sweetheart!" I greeted her cheerfully. "Why are you mad? Did someone pisses you off?" I asked. She glared at me. "When I woke up this morning, your hands were all over me! Pervert!" She hissed in my face. "Oops, sorry about that! I will never do it again!" I apologized, rising to my feet and avoiding her gaze. When I was halfway through the bathroom, I looked over my shoulder, and she was still looking at me angrily. I sighed and walked toward her. "Sweetheart, I'm really sorry. Where did my hand go? I'm in a deep sleep. I don't

*LYN* After my brother was gone, Lauren and I went to my room, and I showed her my wizardry book. "Sis, do you know what this is?" I asked her, showing her my most valuable possession, my wizardry book, a gift from my absentee grandmother. Lauren looked at the book in my hand, seemingly not interested. "It's an old book. What's so special about it?" she asked. "I learned magic through this book! It's my grandmother's book," I explained. Lauren smiled. "Cool. Can you teach me some magic?" she asked. "I don't know if I can teach you magic because only people with witch bloodlines can unlock the world of magic. You are a human being. You have no magic bloodline in you," I stated. "Ah, okay. Never mind," Lauren said. She lowered herself onto the bed and looked at me. "Let's talk about your grandparents. Why haven't I seen them around? Even once. Where are they now?" she asked curiously. I fell silent for a moment. I have no idea where my grandparents are, but Lauren was waiting for

*ALEX* Inside my baby limo. Bart, my beta, told me that we were going to attend a party. We are heading to this private property, where my parents are currently waiting for me as they are attending the birthday party of a close friend. When we arrived at the venue, we were greeted with an eerie silence. There is no guard visibility at the entrance to the property, which is kind of odd. "Alpha, we should remain here inside the vehicle while our guards are checking the area," Bart said. "Why?" I asked. "I smell something fishy about this place. Let's just wait for our guards to inform us if your parents are still inside the venue," Bart explained. A few minutes later. One of our bodyguards ran towards our limo. "We found dead bodies inside the party venue!" "WHAAAAT!?" My face turned paper white. I'm getting worried about my parents safety. "Did you see the Alpha King and the Luna?" Bart asked. The bodyguard shook his head. "Negative. They are not among the dead people inside

*ALEX*I felt like a cold bucket was poured over my head, and thousands of arrows pierced my heart at the same time. I don't know which hurt the most, losing my parents or losing Lauren."Bro, what happened? Are you okay? You looked pale." Brother Frank noticed the agony on my face."Sister Lyn just told me that Lauren was also missing." I revealed to them the sorrow behind the gutted expression on my face.My brother's eyes widened in shock. "WHAAAT? How did it happen? Did the enemy attack the old mansion and kidnap your mate as well?" he asked."No. It didn't happen like that. No outside attack has ever occurred. Lyn was taking her afternoon nap, and one of the servants saw Lauren leaving the house. She was heading to the garden at the back of the house. After that, no one has ever seen her again. They searched the house from top to bottom. All the nooks and crannies were being searched thoroughly; even when they searched the cemetery, they couldn't find her there. She just disappea

*ALEX* Together with my brothers Frank and Bart, we entered the room where the council meeting was being held. We took our seats, sitting side by side with each other. The council meeting was about to start. I glanced at Norris; he was wearing a serious expression on his face. Bart's father took the podium and addressed everyone. Francisco scanned the faces of the attendees. "Gentlemen, we gathered here tonight for the emergency council meeting. I'm sure you already know what happened to our Alpha and Luna. They are abducted from the party that they have attended. We are still trying to gather intelligence about this incident. We have no leads yet, and the abductors haven't demanded a ransom or anything. As long as we don't see bodies, our Alpha and Luna are still alive. I urged anyone to come forward if you have some valuable information about this incident." Whispers of horror and shock can be heard from the attendees. Francisco cleared his throat and continued, "Alpha Alex's

*ALEX*I went home that morning and went straight to bed to sleep after eating a light breakfast.When I wake up in the afternoon, it's already 4:00 p.m. I texted Lauren that I'm going to her place to bring her to a place far from the city so she needs to bring some clothes with her.I haven't told her yet about what happened to my grandparents dead bodies.I need to go to a place that is quiet and relaxing to de-stress.Half an hour later, I'm already out of my house. I get into my car and drive to Lauren's place.After a few minutes of driving, I arrived at my destination and parked the car outside the gate of the vampire's residence.I texted Lauren that I'm already outside, waiting for her to come out of the house. I looked out the window on the second floor of the house and saw a silhouette. Who was that?When I looked closely, the silhouette had already disappear. Or maybe it wasn't there in the first place. Maybe my eyes just caught something that looks like the silhouette of a
The Missing Luna 113: Bizarre Occurrence!
*ALEX*When I arrived at the funeral parlor and went to the second floor of the building to join my sister and parents, I was shocked to find an empty room—no coffins or whatever—just flowers and candles on the floor. Instead, what I saw were my family members looking at each other with a shocked expression on their faces.I rushed to their sides. "What's wrong, guys?" I inquired."Son, the coffins were gone! It happened so fast! It's like a blink of an eye. I felt like I was frozen in time and I don't know what happened during those moments. But the moment we were unfrozen, we were surprised to see the two caskets gone!" Mom said it in a rattled tone.My brows snapped together. "What is going on?" I asked in disbelief. "Who would steal a coffin with dead bodies in it?" I said it in bewilderment."Brother, believe us when we say that someone has frozen us and stolen the coffins!" Lyn explained in an agitated tone."We got to find the coffins!" Dad exclaimed anxiously."Alright, calm d

~MAGNUS~"So, is this your good news to me?" I asked the silhouette standing near the window, my eyes blazing with anger. "I'm in the middle of a negotiation with the opposing kingdom to obtain peace and you just whisked me away just to show me this good news?"I feel like my heart is about to explode due to jealousy. "I tell you now that seeing Lauren with Alex is making my blood boil. I don't like it! And the fact that you tolerated them and did nothing to prevent them from seeing each other makes me feel like the person I trusted the most has betrayed me!"I looked at her, feeling upset. "You disappointed me! I left you behind to watch over Lauren on my behalf! Not to tolerate the couple's reunion! You didn't even try to do anything to separate them!"I no longer hide my displeasure. I felt annoyed that my precious woman was now getting back together with her ex."Your highness, this is not the good news that I'm talking about," Granny Ursula responded. "I'm sorry if you didn't lik
The Missing Luna 111: Bad News!
*ALEX*I haven't slept yet and the time was already past 2:00 in the morning. Lauren was sleeping soundly beside me on the bed. I've been wide awake the whole night, and I want to make sure that this night will go well without any mysterious occurrences on Lauren's part based on my mother's instruction.I even put a CCTV camera inside our bedroom as evidence that Lauren was with me the whole night, just in case something went wrong.I think the party has already ended by now.When my phone rang at 2:40 in the morning, my heart beat so fast.Damn!They will never call me at this hour unless something happens!I quickly grabbed my phone and read the message. It was from my mother and the contents of her message broke my heart into pieces.'Son, when I wrote this message, I'm still in the hospital. Your sister is fine, but both grandpa and grandma didn't make it. They died in the party venue; the guards found them dead after all the guests had gone home safely. The reason for their death
The Missing Luna 110: Garden Of Solitude
*ALEX* On the day of the masquerade ball, I was with my family the whole afternoon, chatting with everyone. The atmosphere in the house is fantastic, filled with lively chatter. We are in good spirits, riding the wave of excitement for tonight's event. It will be the first time that our family is complete and we will be attending the masquerade ball together. In the previous ball, it's always been me who is missing and my grandparents, so today is very special because it will be a family affair and everyone will be present on the festive occasion. Everyone is excited. I can see the shimmering excitement on their faces. By 5:00 in the afternoon, I made my exit and informed everyone that I'm going home and that I would see them at the party later. I left our family home, and part of me felt sad that I couldn't attend the party. I got into my car, drove into the heavy traffic and dropped by at the vampire's place. Lauren exited the gate and waved at me. I opened the door and she qu
The Missing Luna 109: Happy Memories
*LAUREN* One week had passed already. I was waiting for Magnus' return every day, yet there was still no sign of him. What could happen to him? I hope he is alright and his kingdom didn't go to war. I'm worried about his safety. I was pacing back and forth in the living room. I glanced at the clock on the wall. Alex would come anytime soon. I agreed to sleep in his house every night as part of my commitment to our relationship. I already wrote a letter for Magnus and put it in his bed just in case he would arrive at an empty house. I explained in my letter that I'm going to sleep at my friend's house. I'll be back tomorrow morning and all he needs to do is text me and I'll reply right away. My phone rang and Alex sent me a message informing me that his car was already parked outside the gate. I grabbed my shoulder bag and exited the house. After locking the gate, I quickly get into the passenger seat of Alex's car. "Hi, sweetheart." Alex greeted me cheerily. "I hope I didn't make
The Missing Luna 108: Cycle Of Life
*ALEX* The following day, me and Lauren woke up late. After having a glorious night, we welcome the morning with fresh perspective and refreshed energy. I kissed Lauren's cheeks. Her eyelids stirred on the verge of waking up. "Good morning, sweetheart!" I greeted her jovially. "Morning!" She replied in a sweet tone, caressing my jaw. I patted her arms lovingly. "I'm going to work today. If you want, you can accompany me in my office," I offered. "No, thanks. I should go home." She refused my offer politely, getting off the bed and going to the bathroom. A few moments later, she emerged from the bathroom, returned to bed, and said, "Can you drop me off at the house on your way to your office?" "Sure! That's what I have planned in my mind already. I will send you home after we have breakfast," I answered. "Thank you," she murmured. "We can also teleport, right?" "Yes, we can do that as well. But I prefer that we use the car so that we can talk along the way," I said, gazing at
