LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVMy eyes flinched from what Mr. Asterbelle vocalized. I could feel a huge portion of my blood boiling inside my body, making its way up to my head. "Are you trying to tell me that if it wasn’t for the accident that gave you this burn mark, I am most probably dead by now?" I asked, longing for assurance that I understood his statement correctly. He only gave me a slight movement of his head up and downward as a reply. "If that’s so, then why am I seeing such a dark aura surrounding your body, Mr. Asterbelle?"I blurted out something that should have just remained inside my mind, but I could no longer suppress myself."You… You can see the color of my aura?" Mr. Asterbelle asked, his eyes widening as if it were such a surprise for him that I could actually see his aura.I nodded my head twice. "Yes."All of a sudden, his facial expression changed one more time. If only I could get a logbook on how many times his expression alters in the same hour, then I would have c
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVOddly enough, despite the close proximity of this rampaging wolf, I still felt like this wouldn’t be the day that I would lose my life. There’s something about me that assures my own safety, and the only thing that I had to do was be patient. That person’s presence was getting closer with each passing second. He might be a savior or one of this wolf’s accomplices."Why’d you bring someone else with you?" I asked, in hopes that he was still sane enough to perceive my query.A confused look was transmitted to his face. "You must be bluffing to divert my attention, but sorry, you’re not getting away—"The unknown wolf that was above me had been sliced through the neck. I watched as his head crawled down to my chest; his eyes widened as its nerves popped out as it slowly turned red in color. He was no longer capable of speaking his thoughts out, but I could sense his intense bloodlust all over my surroundings. Before anything else weird happened, I immediately got up
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVSince the very moment that he laid his chest on mine, his rapid heartbeat hasn’t returned to its normal state. I could say that it’s even faster than mine, as if he’s the one who’s being locked away from having the chance to escape. "H-hey… You’re suffocating me," I whispered, noticing how close our distance from each other was. Although, despite him being near me, I can’t get a proper look at what he really looks like."Don’t glance at my face; you wouldn’t recognize me either way, Luna. It would be best for you not to know who I am," he said in such a serious tone before finally letting go of my wrist and setting me free."What am I supposed to call you when I don’t know who you are?"A moment of silence occurred between the two of us before he replied. "Eman. You can call me Eman for now. Though, it’s not like you need to remember my name."Despite the reality that we’re already a few meters apart, I still can't forget the feeling of having our skins pressed ag
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVI’ve been trying to fight with Yve for a couple of minutes now. She just doesn’t know when to give up. My hands were already getting huge, and I could feel that my fingernails were about to sharpen. I don’t want to hurt her, and even though she’s already treating me like some kind of blood sucking creature, I still believe that she’s still the same friend that I loved."S-stop this, Yve… You’re the only one who’s going to be hurt if you keep on doing this to me." I pleaded with her as much as I could, but my voice doesn’t seem to reach her anymore. Her dark desires were already eating her entire system, and she only wanted to get hold of my blood. "Why are all of you insisting on having my blood? Wouldn’t this be dangerous for you since you’re a wolf?" I asked her out of pure curiosity, since I’m really concerned with what would happen to her if she got to take a sip of my blood.She pinned me to the ground, completely restricting any possible movements that I cou
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVFor the longest time in my whole life, this seemed to be the first moment that I'd experienced being transferred over to what seemed to somehow be inside someone else’s dream. The ground wasn’t the same; it wasn’t made of stone, and it wasn’t made out of soil either.It was pure flesh.Yes, the pure flesh of a human who just died.I know for sure that it’s recent because of the scent that it had; it’s not that stinky, unlike those corpses lying on the street for weeks or months."Hello? Is anyone there?" I asked softly at the same time that I roamed my vision around the place that gave me the chills.My body was somehow reacting to the dimension that I was in. I could feel my bones from my back waving, and my wings were itching to show themselves. It’s not just that; both of my visions were different and the exact opposite of one another. My left eye was starting to be filled with red dye, while the right one was blue. Both my wolf and vampire forms wanted to make
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVI saw how fast Jerome’s naturally black eyes were turned into those crimson eyes of his, which were paired with his gray hair. If he’s starting to turn into this state, then he’s probably being consumed by his wolf. I still can’t say for sure if the moon goddess and Jerome really had a relationship with one another as mother and son, but I can surely assure you that there’s a connection between the two of them, even way back when I got to know of his identity.I simply had no idea what it was as of the moment, but if it enrages him to the point that he’d want to torture me alive, then that just means that he hates Althea. "C-can you calm down for now, Jerome? We’re not on the premises of Grimstone; we don’t have a clue what can happen here," I quickly said to stop him from delivering another fatal blow that I’m not prepared for.He’s probably ten centimeters taller than I am now. He used to be slimmer than me before he went missing. For all of the years that I hav
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVMy eyes widened in fear of what Jerome had done to me in the past, which I no longer have memory of. The way he spoke seemed like he was able to experience a lot of things together with me. "W-what are you trying to say?" I asked in such a soft voice. I saw how the scar on my palm was slowly fading away. Its pain was kind of bearable, but it still stings."The texture of your blood tells me that you’re not just a mere human and not just a mere werewolf. Could it be that the rumor during your debut was true—that you share the blood of a vampire?" Jerome replied while wiping off the excess blood on his lips."You… Why did you taste my blood? Don’t you know that it could seriously harm you, or worse, kill you?" I chose to ignore his statement when I felt unsteady.Just right on cue, I noticed how he almost fell to the ground. "I-I don’t need your pity, Luna Asterbelle." Jerome rolled his eyes like a woman, which made me think that he’s really turning into a stranger
LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV‘Save yourself; forget everyone else.’A murmuring voice kept echoing through the depths of my mind. It was faint, but I kind of recognized where the voice was coming from.‘Jerome?’ I thought to myself, waiting for at least any type of response from him that would confirm that my inference was right. Although a minute flew by and no one talked back to me."You’re coming with me whether you like it or not," Jazpher said as he grasped one of my forearms, aggressively pulling me together with him.There were a lot of people watching as I made my entrance to their castle. Not a single one among them was interested in actually knowing who I was; all of them just seemed to be anticipating my death and the very moment that they would be able to get hold of my blood. My body was turning cold from the low temperature of the room that he brought me into.Jazpher decided to leave me behind as he threw me on the couch without saying anything else. A small drop of sweat fell
