Chapter 27: An Old Friend
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Asteria's daily routine was the same as always. If she wasn't in the training to be a swordsman, she would spend her time flipping through the pages of books.
It was a rather peaceful life. Asteria didn't find it boring. Even so, she still wanted to go out once a while. Without Selena, Asteria just couldn't sure that it would be safe running around when she was still a nobody. Her face wasn't that bad, so Selena told her that she was worried something might happen to her.
Finding that Asher was back greatly delighted her. She could finally ask him how to gain entry to the royal's library. Yet, before she recovered from the delighted feeling, another good news came. Selena told her that Annie had come from the village to the capital this time.
"Really? Where is she?" Asteria hurriedly asked Selena. With a comp

It gave a sense of bafflement that someone like Annie who didn't like werewolves that much would willingly interact with them and come to the capital. Therefore, Asteria wanted to know if she had the intention to stay.Annie's face became cheerful at that, she even looked embarrassed. Selena looked up at her, also waiting for her answer. As a noble, seeing that look on her face, she had her guess."Yes," Annie lowered her head after she glanced at Selena briefly. "I found my mate. He's a werewolf, the son of Viscount Raphael."Asteria was flabbergasted hearing that, but seeing that faint red hue on Annie's expression as though she was embarrassed made it more convincing. Staring blankly for a moment, she looked at Annie.Viscount Raphael was completel
Wolf Under the Moonlight Chapter 29: A Visit
Asteria leaned against the tree, waiting for the time of the training. Looking at the moon, she fell into a daze."You seem to enjoy your life very much here, aren't you?""Ash--" she stopped herself, looking in shock at the figure in front of her. That refined noble aura, which somehow mixed with a hint of evil charm and his peculiar eyes was so familiar to Asteria. She hadn't seen him in months that she almost forget about his existence."How disappointing. You don't look happy that I am here." His voice wasn't deep magnetic like Asher, but it's still pleasing to the ear, like a siren's song. Asteria jolted, she looked warily at him."What are you doing here?"Kaizer raised his eyebrow. "Can
Wolf Under the Moonlight Chapter 30: Moment of Uncertainty
Asteria felt like she had done something she shouldn't do. It's like she had committed a crime. After Josh and Nox left, Asteria stood up, waiting for Asher to speak.His eyes were swirling with a peculiar light as if he would lose his rationality any moment. Shit, Asteria cursed. She hoped that she was wrong about this paranoid sense of her."I have been training well with Josh and Nox in your absence," Asteria answered, remembering Asher's previous question. She just wanted to get rid of some of the invisible dark clouds, lest would he be mad.She wasn't going to be overly polite to Asher now that he had made it clear himself some time ago. It was a suspicious move from him. She had shown it on his face a few times, the suspicions and hesitations, yet he never took any action to explain anything. Therefore,
Wolf Under the Moonlight Chapter 31: A Bitter Taste
The feeling of tremendous pain wracked all over her body caused Asteria to wake up. She hadn't even able to properly open her eyes when a claw had already swung at her. She barely managed to dodge it by covering her eyes with her arms. The red line seeping with blood decorated her right arm.Panicking, Asteria's sense snapped, she was now fully awake. The sight before her had brought a tremendous shock. There, standing an enormous silver wolf with its eyes full of hostility staring at her.Asteria looked at the surrounding briefly, trying to make sure that this wolf was the only one here. Yet, she was stunned into silence when she noticed Josh and Nox standing there, looking at her.She frowned, trying to shake the uneasiness in her heart. At the same time, another claw was directed at her face, as if trying
Wolf Under the Moonlight Chapter 32: The Aftermath
When Asteria finally regained her consciousness, she was relieved that she found she wasn't dead. The pain wracked all over her body was the proof. Her blurry sight had gradually turned for the better."Where's it?" Asteria mumbled softly, wincing as she found out that she couldn't move. She remembered that it wasn't only her left-hand which got injured severely. The feet and head, even her neck, which was nearly slit were wrapped in something. Practically almost half her body had gotten injured.This terrible feeling left a bitter taste as the memories of what happened flooded into her mind. She was always on guard, yes, but she hadn't expected them to set a trap like this. They were sure a pair of cunning ones."Asteria, you are awake?" A feminine voice called out. Unexpectedly, it was Annie. The expression
Wolf Under the Moonlight Chapter 33: Worry
"How are you feeling?" Asher asked, standing on the side of her bed. Asteria had taken a few hours of nap after her friends visited her."I have been feeling better. Thank you." Asteria had a smile on her pale face. Loss of blood wasn't something that can be recovered in a mere week. The doctor had prescribed some medicine to fix the blood loss problem, but it might still take a while.Asteria wouldn't mind. With half her body wrapped almost like a mummy, she couldn't go running around anyway.Looking at Asher, Asteria felt into a momentary trance. She saw that Asher's crease on his forehead had eased up a little after he checked the bandaged wounds on her body.It made Asteria overly conscious of how severe her wounds were. Falling into a momentary l
Wolf Under the Moonlight Chapter 34: A Shocking News
A few months had gone by. Asteria had almost fully recovered, except for her left hand. It had been fractured when the silver wolf clashed its claw against her unarmored hand. Thus, the recovery would take longer.Asteria absentmindedly looked out in the window at the green scenery outside. Asher's mansion was bigger than other nobles. From the outside, its structure which was completely made of wood would make one mistaken it for ordinary residence. But Asteria knew better that there was nothing ordinary here; the rooms were spacious, luxurious furniture and expensive-looking decorations scattered everywhere.The natural color from the wood gave one the atmosphere of solemnity. Asteria was pretty much enjoyed her stay here. She was able to relax and calm her mind after such an incident which had brought her a great shock. The refreshing feeling, secluded from the bu
Wolf Under the Moonlight Chapter 35: Visiting Annie
"Do you want to visit her?" Asher suddenly said."Can I?" Asteria asked him with a hopeful look. She wanted to get to the bottom of this."Let's go then." Asher suddenly stopped. "Prepare yourself first."Asteria understood what he meant and hurriedly changed into one of the comfortable dress Selena had brought during her visit. As someone who was slightly tomboy, Asteria prefer the comfortable dress more than the fancy, heavily decorated one. Selena knew better about this.The long-sleeved dress went past her waist, but she combined it with long black trousers. The current style made her look like a modern girl."Let's go." Asteria urged.

"Did they bully you?" Asher asked, glancing briefly at the pair of brothers, Nox and Josh, who jolted as soon as Asher's gaze landed on them.Josh and Nox looked at Asteria hopefully, as if she was the savior of both of them. However, Asteria threw them a mischievous glance, causing the two's hearts to almost sink and melt into the ground."No," Asteria said.Asher smiled, said nothing. The pair of brothers who were about to sigh in relief upon hearing Asteria's answer could felt their hearts tightened again, discovering that there was something wrong with the atmosphere."I can ask them to perform some moves right?" Asteria asked Asher mysteriously. "I wonder how their ability compares to Elias right now."
Wolf Under the Moonlight Chapter 42: Rumors
Selena seemed to have known about Asher's confession to Asteria, perhaps Elias did too. There was some hint of teasing in her eyes whenever she spoke about him.Josh and Nox naturally weren't fools. They caught the meaning behind Selena's words, which also can be served as an indirect warning. The two were the ones who suffered the most here. After they received the news, they felt as if they'd been struck by a lightning. It made sense why Asher was so furious and punished them badly.The two brothers had explained everything to Asteria as to make her believe in them."No, it's not like that." Nox hurriedly explained, shaking his head. "Actually, it's not that we were deliberately holding back, but we are weak at the moment. Our power will slowly recover, along with the control over the wolf form."
Wolf Under the Moonlight Chapter 41: A Visit to the Count's Mansion
Asher had confessed everything before Asteria. Naturally, this would affect how he act in front of her. Now, he no longer restrained himself and had even gotten more attentive to her.Asteria didn't reject him, or she could say that she couldn't. There was always some guilt in her heart, yet she was unable to extricate herself from this comfort."Alright then, take care of yourself," Asher said after Asteria told her plan to go to the count's mansion. His face showed a bit reluctant to part, which was rather cute.Asteria giggled and strolled away, climbing the stairs to prepare herself. It was true that she had been enjoying herself for the past few days. However, she also didn't forget to once a while thought about other problems when her mind was clear.
Wolf Under the Moonlight Chapter 40: Confession
It was dark, with the only moonlight shining down through the gaps in the windows. Asteria wasn't fond of the dark. She lit the lamp, instantly the sight of the room entered her eyes.She threw herself on the bed, careful not to squash her right arm in the process. The left hand reached for the pillow, hugging it to her body while sighing."Lady Asteria, the dinner has been prepared." A maid informed her, followed by the knocking on the door.Asteria, who had just laid down her body and closed her eyes, frowning. She groaned, feeling tired. Opening her eyes, she told the maid in loud voice. "Coming."Changing into the new clothes, a leathered knight outfit, Asteria came out of the room and descended the stairs. Asher had been waiting in the dining hal
Wolf Under the Moonlight Chapter 39: The Mind in Unrest
Asteria swung her sword forward, successfully slashing the targeted falling leaves, cutting them into two. She inhaled, stabbing and slashing while testing her agility.She had improved quite a lot since the incident where she nearly had gotten killed. After a few days of venting the bottled up frustration by practicing her swordsmanship in Asher's place, she finally regained her calm.Wiping the sweat, Asteria sat down and took large gulps of water. While she fanned herself, her mind wandered.Asteria wasn't sure whether Asher knew or not, but she had actually caught a glimpse of familiar figures among the prisoners besides the so-called princess Adrina.It was Nox and Josh. Their wolf form wasn't that eye-catching, however, she still remembered the

"Enough," Asher stated, not wanting to play along with any longer. "If you still have some dissatisfaction. Just report it to His Majesty."The two guards jolted, maintaining the respectful and fearful expression as Asher and the rest walked away. Their figures disappearing as the door to the next room slammed close.The guards exchanged glances. They were just guards, how could they have the privilege of reporting straight to His Majesty? However, the princess was another problem now. They didn't know what she had done to land herself in this predicament. Judging how Asher didn't even spare her another glance, they seemed not to be on good terms.Currently, that stunning face of Princess Adrina was filled with fury. Glaring at the two guards, making the two hurriedly walked away. When no one was there anymor
Wolf Under the Moonlight Chapter 37: The Silver Wolf
Asher brought Asteria out of the room, realizing that the girl had been trembling slightly. She didn't have her sword to defend herself. Even if her body condition had improved somehow, it was still nothing in front of a half-transformed werewolf. Strengthening the body needed a lot of time and patient effort.That blow from that man had blasted the metal bars apart. The room wasn't created like the ones for werewolves, which contained a lot of traps and restraining force toward their bloodline.Annie's body was smashed to a wall due to the shockwave. She was currently unconscious. Thanks to Selena's persuasion that the guard finally allowed them to bring a doctor in."There's no benefit in curing the prisoner who was about to die." Elias shook his head as he explained to Asteria. "If not for us bringing our
Wolf Under the Moonlight Chapter 36: Story of the Past
Asteria was startled by Selena's straightforward question. She wasn't asking about whether it was true that she had poisoned Bryan, Viscount Raphael's son. The question implied that Selena had already known Annie was the one committing the crime.A complicated mood surged in Asteria's heart. Looking at the previously sweet Annie reduced into such an indifferent state. A moment of silence enveloped the whole room."You already know." A low, raspy voice answered. When Annie looked up, her apathetic eyes gazed straight ahead. The outline of her body had gotten thinner from the last time Asteria met her. It was three weeks ago."You'll be dead," Selena said rather harshly, glaring at Annie. However, there was no malice in those words. Annie's punishment could only be one indeed; execution.
