Chapter 47I can't rest anymore while thinking about what I read earlier. I put the book back from hiding behind the portrait of Damon and me. I don't know what to do but one thing is for sure I need to go back to Neticia's room to find that pen holder again. I just hope it's still there.If only I had known in the beginning that it was the key to the missing page of Alpha Devon's book, I would have taken it as the pen holder long ago. I stopped walking when the bedroom door opened, and Anna walked in. She bowed her head a bit."Your lunch is ready, Luna," she said politely."Is Damon...back already?" I asked, hoping that Damon had returned. I still remember his head injury. I don't know how to help. I feel like I am so useless. I'm just here and there's nothing I can do but continue to worry about Damon."Not yet, Luna," Anna replied. I bit my lower lip and sighed heavily. I don't know what to feel anymore. I feel like Damon is going further and further away from me. It started when
Chapter 48The next day Damon did not leave the palace. Instead, he locked himself in his office with the two old men in the group of elders while the group of hunters with Stone began to trace Jules' scent.It seems that Damon's mind is now focused on finding the traitor because I know he thinks that they won't be able to find Jules as long as Jules has a connection inside the palace. Damon will fail if the enemy knows his every move, so he needs to find the traitor that Jules is referring to as soon as possible.While I was still looking for time to enter Neticia's room. There is only one thing I wonder about in Neticia's room. I know it's been a hundred years since Neticia and Alpha Devon died but Neticia's room remains alive inside the palace. I didn't want to think too much about it, but I couldn't help it.That's why while Anna and I were outside and walking in the flower garden behind the palace, I couldn't stop asking."I…saw Neticia's room," I began. I turned to Anna and saw
Chapter 49I went with Damon to rest that afternoon. I just sent our dinner to the room and Damon, and I ate together inside. We ate in silence. Maybe because we have the same deep thoughts. We're both occupied with something. I just wanted to end it all. I want Damon to be freed from the past. I want everything to be finished so I'll do everything just to get it done.I watched Damon fall asleep and when I saw that he was sound asleep I got up to do my plan. I breathed heavily. I know I can do it. I just need to sneak out and get away from the guard roaming around the palace. Neticia's room is quite close, so I know it's only a few minutes to walk.I slowly took the tray of what Damon, and I ate before opening the door. A guard guarding Damon and I's room quickly looked at me."Can you get this back from the kitchen?" I said handing the tray to him."I will, Luna. I will immediately send my replacement," he said before leaving. I watched the guard walk away and when I saw him turn to
Chapter 50I picked up the pen holder and stared at it for a long time. I can't believe I'm seeing it right now. I feel like this is the way I can help Damon. I feel close to the truth.I took a deep breath and quickly approached the door to leave but was stunned when I saw how the doorknob moved! Someone is coming inside! I trembled. I felt so nervous. Who is it?I looked around to find a place to hide and when I saw another door, I quickly opened it and hid there. And then right after I heard some footsteps outside, inside Neticia's room. I put my ear to the door where I was hiding to hear what was happening outside.Who is it? Who could be in this room at this hour? I bit my lower lip as my heart pounded so fast. I feel like I ran a marathon. My forehead and hands are already sweating. What if...this person who entered Neticia's room right now is the traitor that Damon wants to catch?I do not know what to do. Because surely if I come out here and show the person outside everything
Chapter 51 "To my beloved...little brother...Damon,"Starting from the first words, I feel like it's gnawing at the corner of my heart. The aches and pains are there. Maybe because I know that Alpha Devon's death was the reason why Damon's life was filled with darkness. I know that Alpha Devon is the most important person in Damon's life. Alpha Devon's death was bitter and painful for Damon.It was added that Neticia was saddened by the death of Alpha Devon. And the most painful thing is that Jules is responsible for everything. Someone they considered family, brother, and cousin. This is painful for Damon, and I know it is even more painful for Alpha Devon.I don't know what Neticia did then why Jules’s so angry with Damon and Alpha Devon. I don't know what the end of it all was, but I feel like...with this letter I will know everything about Alpha Devon's hidden past.I took a deep breath and stared at Alpha Devon's complicated handwriting. Just from his letter, it can be seen imme
Chapter 52I couldn't believe what I found out. It was a huge revelation for me, and I know it will have a huge impact on Damon. I didn't think that everything that was happening today was Alpha Devon's doing. I closed my eyes tightly when I felt a pain in my chest.I feel sorry for what Alpha Devon went through, but I also can't help but blame him for the bad things that are happening now. But I can't blame Alpha Devon for the decisions he made back then. I know how much he loves Damon but will Damon like this fact?I also can't believe that the traitor is Stone. I bit my lower lip as my eyes watered. Anna may not know anything about what Stone is doing because I can see the pain in Anna's eyes as she thinks about Stone slowly moving away from her. But Stone is doing this to avenge her.No matter what I think, I can't be angry with Stone because it's natural to accumulate anger for what Alpha Devon did, but it hurts so much to think that he is the traitor in this palace because of al
Chapter 53I was filled with trepidation and fear at the visible chaos below the palace. I can see how Damon's men transform into wolves while the rogues attack fiercely.I turned to Damon as I saw him quickly take his cape off his back and approach Delta Robin. I followed him."Stay here, Robin. Watch over Athena," Damon said in a cold voice. I shook my head and dread broke through me."Where are you going, Damon?" I asked worriedly. He didn't turn to me, so I grabbed his arm. I could feel his arm shaking, a sign that he was holding back his anger. I know he can't stomach watching Jules' group destroy the kingdom their family founded. But...what if something bad happens to him?I can't handle it if something bad happens to him.“You have to stay here, Athena—”"Please...I want you to stay with me..." my voice trembled. I know it's wrong. I'm being selfish. Damon must fight to protect the kingdom. He has to face the enemy. But can I let him fight there knowing that everything is uncer
Chapter 54My every step was quick as Delta Robin followed me. We could hear the commotion outside the palace. The entrance of the palace is tightly closed so Delta Robin decided that we go through the basement because there is a secret tunnel out of the palace. I know what we are doing is dangerous.I know that I am Delta Robin’s responsibility and even if he doesn't want me to do this, he knows I can't be stopped."Is this the passage?" I asked Delta Robin when I saw a door below a staircase. I turned to Delta Robin and when I saw him nod, I quickly went down the stairs and grabbed the doorknob, but I stopped when it moved even though I hadn't opened it yet."Someone is inside, Luna!" Delta Robin said. I swallowed hard and pulled Delta Robin to hide behind a concrete wall near the basement door."Did anyone know this passage, Delta?" I asked. If everyone knows about this tunnel, maybe it's an ally and was just ordered to enter this door so as not to be harmed. But if only a few peop
