Chapter Twenty-Three: Hours Before the Full Moon
“Say, Mallory,” Leofric asked while they were walking back to the pack.
“Hmm?” Mallory briefly lifted her head to look at his back before looking back down. They were walking on uneven ground, if she was distracted even for a bit, she’d slip and throw all the fish away to the ground. And embarrass herself.
“Are you free tomorrow?” He stopped to wait for her.
“Tomorrow?” Mallory met his eyes, also stopping to continue the conversation. It was still early; the sun would go down two hours from then.
“It’s the full moon,” he grinned. “I want to meet with you at the moon square in the evening. Let’s watch the Blessing Ceremony together.”
“Ah—”
Unconsciously, her eyes wid

She nodded. “I will be.”Oddny stared, looking at her face as if she was trying to figure out what was going on inside her mind. Mallory kept her smiling face, making sure to not let anything out.Oddny in the end just sighed in defeat. She held the door knob. “I don’t know what will happen, but everything will be alright.”“Thank you. I believe so too.”“Then, I’ll go first.” Oddny pulled the door open.“Wait!” Mallory stopped her. Oddny looked back over her shoulder. “Tell them good luck and congratulate them for me.”Oddny nodded before

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE (WAXING CRESCENT)Chapter 25: ForagingMallory looked behind him discreetly. So, it was his team. Mallory nodded her head in her mind then looked back at him.He looked at her with great expectation twinkling in his eyes. It was hard to disagree. After some hesitation, she ended up agreeing and just found herself in front of an officer and listed her name on the list. She was given a basket and she went out of the hall with her mind still floating.“Let me do it,” Leofric took the red ribbon from her hand.“Sorry?” Mallory didn’t know what happened. She watched Leofric tie the ribbon on her wrist and saw his satisfied smile after.“There,” Leofric turned to his team who were looking over and nodded his head. “Let’s move out!”No one dared to say against his words. Everyone filed into a single li

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX (WAXING CRESCENT)Chapter 26: An unexpected turn of EventsA whole week passed.During that week, as promised, Mallory joined him two times. It was fun, but she must admit that their time beside the river was the most enjoyable one. She doesn’t need to catch other people looking their way whenever they’re close. Having eyes on them was awkward, so she mostly avoided being with him if there were other people in the vicinity.He seems to understand it as sometimes he willingly creates distance between them, but whenever she’s alone, he just pops out of nowhere and accompanies her then disappears again to tend to the others.It was funny to watch, but she couldn’t help but notice the little tickle in her heart while watching him like that.For the remaining five days, she spent her time either helping on a farm inside the walls or simply fis

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN (WAXING CRESCENT)Chapter 27: Questioning“But Hazen invited me before,” Mallory said slowly. “Why would they if I can’t get in in the first place?”Oddny looked at her intently. “The thing is; the inviter will give the invitee proof—I don’t know what it is, that they were invited. Do you have one?”Oh, that’s probably why he still needs to see me… Mallory felt bitterness creeping in her tongue. “… No.”Oddny nodded her head. She saw her face easing for a moment before changing back to her stoic face. “Anyway, I got to go. See you later.”Clack.The door closed, leaving Mallory alone in that house.Mallory weakly sat back on her seat, looking at where Oddny had just gone out.“I was too late, wasn’t I?&rdquo

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT (WAXING CRESCENT)Chapter 28: A RiftIt was exactly twilight when Oddny went back home.Mallory was preparing for dinner when she got back home. Her skin almost jumped out of her body when someone suddenly pushed the door open. She looked at the door in alarm, only to discover Oddny almost puffing and huffing. She was flushed from her ears to the neck as if her face was dipped in blood-red makeup.Mallory opened her mouth to ask what was happening, but Oddny beat her to it.“He accepted my gift.” She started. Mallory closed her mouth again and stayed silent. Without asking who it was, she knew that it was the Alpha’s son she was talking about.Oddny went in, slamming the door behind her, hard. She took large strides across the room, reaching to pour herself a cup of water. She gulped it down in one go.“Bless the Goddess, Mallory

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE (WAXING CRESCENT) Chapter 29: Conflict A sense of disappointment with a mixture of irritation washed over her. It took a lot of dedication to control her expression, but somehow, Hazen noticed it this time. “Something wrong?” She asked innocently. “Was yesterday’s catch unsatisfactory?” “I did not fish yesterday,” Mallory stated plainly. “Why are you here?” She looked at Hazen. She didn’t change much since she last time saw her. Did she even undergo the Blessing Ceremony? Now that she thinks of it, it has been so long since she last saw her. Two weeks ago? She can’t exactly remember the date. Hazen pouted. "Why do you sound like I did something terrible? Anyway, I’m here because I want to invite you out!” “Invite?” Oddny asked, emerging out of nowhere. “To where?” “Hi there, little Oddny.” She grinned. “To eat out, of cou

CHAPTER THIRTY (WAXING CRESCENT)Chapter Thirty: AftermathHazen and Harper’s parents… Are dead?Mallory and Oddny looked at Hazen’s back with wide eyes. She saw her flinch and slumped her shoulders before she regained her strength to straighten them again. She stared at Muller really, really hard. Not a second did she break contact with the man.Muller started to break out into sweat. Instinctively, he stepped back. His eyes are still on her, appearing that he doesn’t want to break eye contact. But that’s not because of that. It’s because he can’t escape from her eyes.Muller stuttered. “W-what are you staring at me like that for?!”“Muller, you know that you constantly get on everybody’s nerves, don’t you?” Hazen coldly said. Mallory looked at her back, not recognizing her for a second.Muller couldn’t utter a single word

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE (WAXING CRESCENT)Chapter Thirty-One: Voices“Mallory, Mallory!” Oddny called many times as they walked into their house. Mallory unconsciously ignored her until Oddny caught her arm and stopped her. “Hey, listen to me!”“Sorry—what is it?” Mallory stopped and looked at her.“Tell me what happened,” Oddny pressed, her hand gripping her arm tightly. “The atmosphere there is weird—and, where is Hazen? She saw us earlier! And blood on the wall—what happened?”Mallory couldn’t stop the pity in her eyes from coming out.Hazen’s Blessing is not simply brainwashing. It seems like she can directly alter one’s memories or the way they think. Just this time, she did it unconsciously…Although she’s a friend, she agrees with everybody’s words.It was a terrifying Blessing.

First QuarterChapter Ninety-Five: RevelationAn urgent meeting was held in the throne room.The elders were present, as well as the two Alphas. Their faces were grim and dark, yet it everyone noticed how pale Leofric was.“How did they know about this place?” Without waiting for anyone to talk, an elder immediately raised his doubts. “How did they break through the barrier?”Another elder mirrored his doubt. “Did they discover it by chance? Or…”He didn’t continue talking, so elder Ester said instead. “Or someone told them.”Her words were like blizzards, freezing the bloods of everyone in the room. They looked at each other suspiciously, their eyes glaring with warning.With the tension in the air so high, the servants and guards held their breaths, wanting to remain invisible all through out the meeting.Alpha Ragnarr sighed. This took their attention, and the tension eased a bit.“Let’s not set ourselves up.” Alpha Ragnarr stood up. He walked down the stairs and stopped just a cou

First QuarterChapter Ninety-Four: FireMinutes before the disappearance of the barrier…Mallory ran like her life depended on it. She never looked back, and before she knew it, the house she used to live in appeared in her eyes. She stopped moving and looked at it when she detected movement inside.Immediately, she frowned. She looked to the west and saw the moon hanging in the sky. It descended slowly, but the morning will surely come.“Is she awake?” Mallory asked herself. After thinking for a while, that was the only plausible explanation she could think of. She looked at the door and finally made up her mind to knock.Knock, knock.The movement inside the house paused, and then after that, she could see a silhouette walking to the door.Then, the door opened.Mallory met Oddny’s surprised eyes. Then, her surprise was immediately hidden. She looked at her up and down, and Mallory couldn’t hide the bags on her side. Just at first glance, one could tell that she had packed up to lea

First QuarterChapter Ninety-Three: Broken Barrier[Mallory!][Wake up!][Pst!]The blessed souls who she talked to earlier to wake her up before the sun rose yelled loudly in her ears. Their voices successfully woke her up.Mallory forced herself to get up. She could feel her body throbbing painfully. She did no strenuous activity, yet she felt like she exercised for a long time before sleeping. But there’s no way one could exercise their heart.Out of everything on her, her heart felt the most painful.Mallory decided to ignore that and forced herself to not think of a certain person.“What time is it?” Mallory asked, her voice slightly hoarse.[Two hours before sunrise.][Quickly, hurry!]Hearing that, Mallory dragged her body out of her bed. She looked below and saw the bag she packed. Mallory took it and then changed into more comfortable clothes. She slipped in h

First Quarter Chapter Ninety-Two: Broken “The Luna?” A glint flashed in his eyes before it settled down. “Why?” Leofric pursed his lips. Why? Why indeed? A small smile unconsciously surfaced on his lips. “… She finally let me see her.” He could feel his eyes on him, but Leofric didn’t withdraw his smile. After staring for a while, Alpha Leofric nodded his head. “Very well. Then, I will find someone for you.” Delight crossed his eyes, before bowing his head. “Thank you very much.” “It’s nothing.” Alpha Ragnarr laughed. “Then go. I’m sure you have a lot to prepare.” - Two hours before the ceremony starts. The moon was slowly rising in the sky. The sky itself was dark, and if not for the stars loitered on it, one would think they were staring at an endless void. The pack was lively. No one rested, as they went back and forth in preparation for the ceremony. Far from the lively celebration, Mallory walked through the dense forest. Her mind kept the direction in her mind, and

First Quarter Chapter 91: Full Moon “—It’s necessary!” The first voice was Harper’s. As usual, her voice was calm and collected, the exact opposite of her twin. “I don’t understand!” Even though their voices were deliberately suppressed, Mallory still heard it thanks to her enhanced hearing. “Why must I hide while you—” Mallory then entered their sensing range. They collectively looked at her, one shocked while the other had unfathomable eyes. Look is not the right word. Containing her shock, Mallory stared intently at Hazen. Her eyes were covered with a blindfold. She only knew that Hazen had turned to her in shock as her mouth gaped open. ‘This might be her punishment before getting freed.’ Mallory concluded; her heart can’t help but feel pity. ‘To not be able to see until says so.’ Her eyes are okay under that blindfold, but she can’t take it off until she controls her blessings. It was a great countermeasure. Her blessing is destructive, after all. She looked at the twins
The Rejected Luna is the Goddess' Blessed Chapter Ninety: She's Back
First Quarter: Chapter Ninety: She's Back Somewhere in the middle of the forest. Night had come, and the moon was hanging high in the sky. Thick clouds glided smoothly into the sky, and the cold wind slowly pushed it forward. Inside a cave, Oddny was kneeling on the stony ground, the pebbles digging into her flesh. “Hmm, did you figure out where they put them?” General Mabel looked at her and a small grin couldn’t be suppressed from her face. “No,” Oddny answered curtly. Disappointment dawned on the general’s face. She sighed, and the sigh echoed throughout the cave. This caused the other vampires to shake on their knees. Even if they were not the subject of her disappointment, their hair still couldn’t help but stand up. “It’s been days.” She said, her eyes looking all over her body, and stopping on her neck. Oddny bowed her head even more. “… I apologize, I find them soon.” General Mabel swatted her hand, placing a palm over her forehead. “No matter. I am in no hurry. Go

It creaked open, and a head peeked out of it. “Is physician Manon here?”“Here!” Manon stood up. “What is it?”The door opened wide, and a man and a boy entered. The boy was clutching his hand, his face showing complicated emotions.“What happened?” Manon asked, then took the boy’s hand. “You broke your hand?”“Yes, he was playing with the others earlier, but he had a bad fall.” The older man, who looked like the boy’s brother, explained. He then sighed. “I don’t know what to do with this kid. He has been causing trouble these past few days.”Manon chuckled. “It’s normal. Sit down—ah!”Manon looked at Mallory and spoke. “It seems l

First QuarterChapter Eight-Eight: Physician Manon “I—”“Hush it, I’m not listening.” True to her stubborn nature, she swatted her away like a fly. Then she took a medicine leaf out of her box and applied it on the arm. Then she covered it with the cloth. “If I see you injured again, I will lock you up in the basement. Try me.”“Okay, I’ll try my best to be careful.” Mallory lied smoothly.But she’s no match for a person who had lived for a hundred years earlier than her. Elder Ester gave her a look and shook her head. “Look, I know that you are eager to develop your capabilities more, but you have to take care of yourself not to get overboard… You might not like the outcome if you do.”“…” Mallory was touched, but that’s the whole reason she wants to develop further.Vampires.She knew that they had been very aggressive in the past few days. And that only fueled her desire to learn and develop even more. The treatment continued, and then Mallory asked a question she’d been itching

First QuarterChapter Eight-Seven: Elder EsterA few days later…“In this month, we already had four casualties. We made the guards stop patrolling individually outside the border and tightened the security inside the barrier.” A man clad in his guard uniform reported with a grim face. “After that, no deaths have been reported.”“Damn it, they’re playing with us for sure!” An elder couldn’t help but slam his hand on the table, breaking it. It wasn’t just him who displayed their anger. The other elders couldn’t hide their emotions as well.“They’ve killed a lot already,” one said weakly. “But we haven’t seen even one vampire at all.”"They’re looking for our pack,” someone said with confidence. “And they somehow knew that it’s near here.”“But we don’t have to worry about them discovering it.” Another one chimed in, looking at the person sitting on the throne. “The Alpha’s blessing will protect us all.”In their heart, they collectively agreed. Hundreds of years had passed, and the Al
