SerenaAs I opened my eyes, Damon sleeping peacefully beside me. The room was dimly lit, and I could feel the weight of worry hanging in the air. Alexei and Ashford were nearby, their expressions a mix of relief and concern as they smiled upon seeing me open my eyes. I tried to shake off the grogginess as a sharp pain throbbed in my temple, struggling to piece together the events of the previous night that led me to this room.Damon stirred from his sleep, and his eyes widened with relief as he noticed me awake. A broad smile spread across his face."Serena? Thank goodness you're awake!" he exclaimed, his happiness evident. He reached for my hands, holding them gently, and planted a gentle kiss on them, as if reassuring himself that I was truly okay. His touch felt nice and made me feel a bit better. His smile showed he was happy to see me, but there was also a hint of worry in his eyes.“W-What happened?” I whispered as I held my head in my hands. Fragments of memories flashed before

DamonMy hands struck the rough surface of the old, dried-out tree, each blow driven by a fierce anger that echoed in every breath I took. The cool air felt heavy as I envisioned Romin's face, the person who caused the profound sorrows I had experienced in my lifetime. Losing my mother, father, and unborn child burdened my heart—a sad tune that played continuously in my thoughts.I could feel the warmth of my blood mixing with the dirt under my tightly closed fists, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the torment engraved in my spirit.

SerenaAs soon as I heard the question, I already knew it was Ashford’s voice. I turned around, and sure enough, he stood there with his arms crossed. Behind him emerged Alexei, looking a little surprised as his gaze checked the bag I was carrying. Unlike Ashford, he chose to remain silent.Trembling, I asked, “Are you going to tell Damon?”Ashford heaved a sigh. “Do you really have to do this?” His concern was evident.I didn't say anything. I just bowed

DamonAs expected, it took me half an hour to reach the designated place.The location mentioned in the secret message was an old loggers' cabin known as Artemis Inn, a mere half-hour run from the Wild Fang camp. Its name is derived from its proximity, offering historical shelter to those wandering the woods.Artemis Inn stood small and quiet, ideal for a restful night after exploring the woods outside the Blood Rose territory. The structure, entirely crafted from wood, boasted a 500-year history, giving it a rustic yet cozy charm.Upon arrival, I was greeted by a wraparound porch and a pair of wooden bear sculptures beside the entrance. This inn stood apart, decent in appearance compared to others, featuring a hall bookcase filled with interesting books and a brick fireplace."Welcome to the Artemis Inn. What can I do for you?" greeted the kind, old lady at the front desk. I smiled and handed her the paper I received from Council Ed. After discreetly examining it, she handed me a key

SerenaAs we stepped inside the fanciest cabin that served as the queen’s residence, words tumbled out of my mouth. We were facing the feast they had prepared for us, yet my appetite couldn't appreciate it. Ashford and I remained silent, observing our surroundings as we waited for the truth about my past to unfold.Finally, Queen Minerva addressed me, asking, "Where do you want me to start?""If you can, at the very beginning," I replied.Queen Minerva took a sip from her glass and began to unveil the secret of my past that had been hidden from me until now.“Asteria is a pack unique from the others. Our pack doesn’t adhere to nature's dependence on male wolves, putting our trust solely in the spirits of nature and ourselves. It has been our way of life since the beginning of time. We do not need a mate, and we procreated through casual sex. As a result, Asteria is given the gift to be connected to nature, and though we do not have magic of our own, we can control and manipulate it mo
