As I learned when I lived in the Blue Moon pack, before the war ended 500 years ago, when the Elders had run out of luck and lost a lot of their people in an ocean of blood and corpses when all hope was about to be lost, a mysterious woman in white appeared. In one move of her power, she wiped out a whole army of demons in just a night. The adults had said that the woman in white was none other than the Moon Goddess.No one has seen the Moon Goddess except the Elders and the people from 500 years ago. The Moon Goddess is who they called and worshiped because she wore and blended with the moon like a beautiful maiden from the moon.I sigh."Alpha, it would be inconvenient for me to go," I tell him calmly. "Firstly, I'm not a wolf; it's not my place to say something to the Elders. I'm a demon, and they won't listen to me. They will kill me the moment I step foot in their territory. Secondly, only leaders of their clan, along with their mates and two commanders, can only attend. You are
Feno's arrival had me wondering why a wood elf came by and introduced himself. And how does he know where I live?I don't think anyone knows me apart from the Blue Moon Pack. I didn't have many friends when I traveled back. The only friend I wanted was...Now, why am I thinking about Dominic? Since our earlier encounter, I don't think it's the right thing to have him back in my life. I promised myself to avoid the guy at all cost, but somehow fate wanted to be a pain in the ass. I should hate him. I want him to die after he killed me that night for being framed by that bitch Leah. I know she killed that young wolf to have the whole pack, especially Dominic, loathe me more.But I couldn't have the heart to do so. Hating Dominic and getting revenge on the pack I grew up with isn't what I wanted. I didn't have the heart, and instead of being a public enemy to the werewolf community, I left.I return my sense to the tiny creature sitting in the middle of my couch. I never expected a guest
Once the door shuts behind me, I feel a little dizzy and almost drop, but I use the wall as support. "Lippy?""I must be cruel, right?" I ask Camila, who stays silent as warm tears run down my cheeks. "I must be born a villain to be cruel to innocent people like Feno. After all, I'm a demon. Demons are meant to be evil and merciful. But..." I clench my fist on my chest as if a sharp pain stabs me in the heart. "I couldn't bear to show any cruelty. I wanted to help him. He came here for my help, and I made him lose hope."I exhale a shaky breath. "I don't know what to do. I'm so useless."I let my insecurities get the best of me as I put myself down with all the major flaws of being weak. The thought of someone asking for my help always makes me happy. But dealing with miasma, I know the results. Everyone like me wants to survive and be strong. I practice my powers every day, I do my best to solve the miasma problem, and I won't quit when I do. My old self would've given up, but I'm no
I gaze through the window of the private jet studying clouds as each one passes by as we are on our way to Romania. They take forms of different shapes as I count each one in my head."Lippy, are you still not talking to me?"I scowl and advert my eyes on Dominic, sitting across from me, with his sad wolf pup face. This was the tenth time trying to get my attention and feeling apologetic."Dom, I said don't even bother," Malik tells him as I scowl more at him. "Taking her with us will only cause trouble.""Want me to start off burning that face of yours?" I threaten, flashing my blue flames. "Because you are this close to having this plane crash into the sea.""Want to have a go?" Malik tenses up and clenches his jaw."Easy, the both of you." Clayton tries to get between Malik and me.Malik hates me. Being here makes him on edge, but he can't complain to his alpha because I could ride with them to Romania. So, he can't do anything to kick me off the plane. He can try, but that will ma
I closed my eyes, and seconds later, I opened them, frantically panting, my heart beating wildly and sweating."Lippy?" I look up at Camila, who looks pale. "Are you okay?"I continue to pant and remember where I am. Everyone was looking at me, either oddly confused or worried. Kaze, still on my lap, whimpers with concern. I brush my hair back and exhale sharply. We are still on the jet. I rub my face and inwardly curse myself that I dreamt something like that. I thought I died...again.I noticed Dominic had a worried look but did not budge to move because of that one person blocking him. At the same time, Malik and Clayton had their head in my direction with expressions of curiosity."Here, drink some water," Camila hands me a bottle of cold water. I took it from her and immediately drank till it was halfway."Thanks," I wipe my mouth. My heart starts to slow down its pace enough to relax a bit. "How long was I asleep?" I ask."You only shut your eyes for five minutes."Only five?Bu
Experiencing that plane ride with Dominic and his group, I'm starting to dislike air travel. If I'm riding on the same transportation with Leah, I don't know what I will do, but it won't be pretty.We step forward in front of the gate. I feel an overflow of magic surrounding the castle—a protection barrier created by the faes. Though visible to the human eyes, I can see it shimmering.I became hesitant going through the barrier, worried that my presence could trigger an alarm system to alert the elders that a demon had entered the premises."Are we going in?" Camila asked and noticed I hadn't made a step forward."Yeah, give me a minute. There is a force field covering the castle, a barrier. It prevents anything evil from entering.""Master, you are a demon. If you touch the barrier-" Kaze sounds flustered."If anything happens, get ready for me to teleport you two as far away from here. Got it?""Got it," Camila and Kaze say in unison.I took in an intake of the surrounding air and le
With the other hand, I pinch its tiny shirt and lift it at eye level. It was yelling and screaming like mad, swinging tiny fists at me."Let me go, you human!" the Imp squirmed.I study the little thing—my first to see an Imp up close. It has the size of a toddler, stubby in length, with whole almond black eyes with no iris or pupil. The Imp has red skin, two little horns sticking out from the top of his hairless head. He resembles the cartoon character where your subconscious sits on one shoulder while an angel occupies the other.The twins told me how naughty they are; pranking others is what they love to do. They can mimic voices and lure you away from the crowd, making your head go crazy. And this did a good job getting irritated and messing with my head.I don't know how long he will keep wailing his fists in thin air, but I find him adorable. "I said let me go! How can a human catch me?""Hey, do I seem human to you?" I ask.The Imp stopped swinging his little arms and stared at
"I...Uhm..." I shift my eyes at my friend, who shrugs. I exhale. "I walked around and explored the castle a bit." Satu sighs heavily, upset about something I have done. "No one, not even the guest from the outside, is allowed to wander off. You can get lost easily without a guide. I should have told you the rules beforehand." Sounding apologetic. "Oh, no. It's my fault. I shouldn't explore likes it's my house." I say. "Next time, I will ask." "Well, since you understand and apologize. I won't blame you. Part of it is my fault." He flashes a smile revealing tiny fangs on his upper teeth. "Shall we go and meet up with her highness?" "Sure," I look back. "Behave you two." "I'm not the one who got in trouble first," Camila teased; Kaze wheezed a peal of laughter. I glare at the dire wolf as he stops, dropping his head down to the floor. "I'll be back." I grit my teeth, not trying to hide the embarrassment in front of the head butler of the Fae Queen. I bid at them and followed Satu.
