บททั้งหมดของ The Loathed Luna : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Erik, one of Alpha Hrolf's warriors who patrolled the border at night, squinted his eyes in the dark. Something was different because the atmosphere had changed. He couldn't place his hand on what it was but he was sure something was wrong. He closed his eyes and zoned out the chattering of the other warriors so he could concentrate. After some seconds, he flipped it open."I think we need to check the border. Something is different around there." He pointed in Ashina's direction while talking to his partner, Bjorn."Alright, you both can go. Give us the whistle alert if you can't handle it alone." Ragnar the head of the warriors nodded in approval and watched them leave."Every other man, go around the border once more before we eat. We must ensure there is no infiltration." He roared and all the ten warriors remaining moved to do their duties immediately.He remained by their tents watching over them while waiting for their reports. Erik waved a torch in the air as he approached th

"I would like to speak with you alone, Alpha Hrolf." Ashina said boldly.A hush silence fell upon the room and almost everyone stared at her in shock. She had dared to speak when their Alpha had spoken. It was rare. The warriors who had moved closer to take her to the den paused in their tracks and Hrolf couldn't help but turn around.He stared at her in a different light.Her brazenness struck a chord in him. No one. No one dared speak after he, the renowned Alpha of the White Moon Pack, gave an order. But this young maiden had dared to speak. The warriors dragged her up violently but they were stopped by Hrolf. He raised his hand in the air - a signal that they were to leave her alone.Erik and Bjorn turned to face each other in surprise. However, they let her go immediately at his command.Not only did she speak, but she was also staring at him with so much confidence oozing from her veins. Hrolf erupted into a harsh peal of mocking laughter. With her lips set in a hard stubborn

"I can heal him." Ashina said immediately the Alpha started to leave, from his reaction to the news they just gave him, she was sure this Gael was special to him. "What did you say?" Hrolf paused, turning to her, he narrowed his eyes suspiciously at her. "I can heal this Gael, whoever he is." Ashina said, her head was swimming with thoughts on how to free herself out of this dungeon, she thanked the moon goddess for giving her healing powers. She never knew it would come in handy someday. She hoped it would prove its worth and save her from this hellhole. She wanted to live a normal life again. "He's my son." Hrolf said and Ashina gasped, she had heard about him, how kind he was and all, but she didn't know he had a son. "I can heal your son." Ashina said firmly. "And why should I believe you?" Hrolf asked angrily, he was sure she was like her father, he wouldn't be surprised if she was being deceptive. "When I see him, I'll make sure he's well again, and then you'll see that I'

Ashina couldn't stop her beating heart. She moistened her lips and swallowed back audibly. She knew he wouldn't let her in his Pack just like that, after all they were enemies but she didn't expect being asked to duel. She still felt weak after using her energy to heal Gael but even at that, did she have any hope against him? She hoped she could still have the energy to fight him. He was a strong warrior and from the news she had heard, he never lost when fighting. For some reason, she was scared. Ashina sat back on the bed, biting her nails and hitting her head on the wall while thinking of ways she could win him. She knew it was somehow impossible to win Alpha Hrolf, if the stories about him were true she didn't stand a chance. She may be have been strong enough to fight the warriors in her Pack,but she wasn't sure it was enough to beat the Alpha. She had almost forgotten she wasn't alone in the room when the tall guard who had come to announce Gael's sickness cleared his throa

Hrolf walked around his office, thinking of ways to stall this announcement. He didn't want her here and he didn't want to announce it, but somehow he knew he had to. He blamed himself for letting her get the best of him during the duel, he couldn't believe she had the strength to push him to the ground and was also smart enough to outsmart him. It ticked him off because he was much stronger than her and it made him believe that she really had a motive for being here. What made him upset was how Gael had approached the night before to plead with him to accept her in the Pack. For some reason, he felt like she won over his son who wasn't impressed easily and didn't talk to everyone much. He was just polite, but he disliked associating. Frustrated and tired of vain thinking, he sighed and accepted the fact that she would be part of his Pack, but he decided to make sure her life was a living hell. He would ensure that she regretted coming here. He concluded that he would keep tormen
