LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVBefore I could do anything, a silhouette of a man appeared out of nowhere. I was certain that there wasn’t any way for someone to enter this place, but this man made his way just like he can pass through walls. His aura wasn’t clear, and judging from that, I instantly realized that it was him."Jerome…" I muttered his name in between my short breaths.He stood in front of the doctor, Joseph, then carefully grabbed his shoulder to help him back up. "You always get in trouble whenever you’re out of my sight, Luna," he said with such a cold tone.The moment that my father and my mate faced one another, I immediately had the urge to intervene in whatever conversation they might have. This isn’t the right time for them to talk, especially when Mr. Asterbelle still dislikes him."You accompany Luna out of this pack. I have some business with this alpha of yours." Jerome released his grip on Joseph’s arm as he pushed the doctor close to me. I was forced to catch Joseph

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV In the midst of my shifting, I stumbled upon my father, who was silently watching me from the other side of Jerome's house. My eyes twitched in wonder at how he managed to come all the way here from his own territories. "Mr. Asterbelle, When do you plan to stop pestering me with my life? I'm no longer under your control, aren't I? It's not like I'm still the same kid that you took in from the orphanage, and neither am I still the same Luna who you used to think of as your only daughter," I said. I approached him until we were only a few steps apart from one another. "I just wanted to witness you crumble into your despair, Luna Asterbelle," he replied, which made my thumping heart race even more. "In this full moon, you have my assurance that you won't survive the pain. Once you've died, your role here in this world is finished. There's no need for you to be resurrected," he added. I

LUNA ASTERBELLE’S POV God knows how desperate I was in my journey in search of Jazpher’s whereabouts inside the Dark Shadow Clan’s territories. I could have easily asked the king, but judging by the way he left me earlier, I doubt that he’d still bother to converse with me.  "Miss Asterbelle." My ears tingled at the voice of the man who called me at the same time that the insides of my body ignited. "E-Eman..?" I uttered the name of the man who I haven’t seen for months before I turned to look behind me and confirm who it was.  "I don’t know who Eman is, but I heard from the king that you were looking for me," Jazpher said, which made me a bit disappointed. "What’s the matter?" I heaved out a soft sigh, then shook my head. "Nothing. I just mistook you for someone else," I answered. "How did the king know that I was searching for you?"  Jazpher pointed to the locati

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV As much as I didn't want to interfere with the two, Jazpher scared me with how worried he looked. He wouldn't simply burden me with the responsibility of saving Dawn if he could've done it on his own. I made up my mind to shift into my vampire form, and with my enhanced speed, I managed to catch the silver bullet with my bare fingers after Dawn attempted to shoot the beta. "Luna, get out of there!" Dawn yelled as his face turned red. He was mad at me for not utilizing the time he gave me to have a chance to escape. "You don't have to go this far, King Dawn," I softly mumbled, intending to calm him down. "I'm sorry for that condition; I'm taking it back. I'll just come with Beta Holmes so that this will no longer escalate into a disastrous duel." I kept my chin up to let them realize my determination. There was no point in conducting the duel if Dawn would end up

LUNA ASTERBELLE’S POV Cornered by two members of their pack, whose strength remains unidentified, I wasn’t able to resist anymore. I went back inside that luxurious territory, where Alpha Holmes was waiting for me to return. "You should discard that stubborn attitude of yours," he scoffed, maintaining his cold tone. "Follow Butler Zen to your lighting ceremony’s venue. It’s almost time for it to commence," he added before he left. I glanced at the butler, who shrugged his shoulders after I gave him a meaningful look. Minutes flew by. I was surrounded by people I wasn’t familiar with. The expression in their eyes clearly states how much they couldn’t wait for me to be one with their alpha. Even if they don’t really say it, I can tell that they only want to make use of me. Once my purpose here is done, they’ll probably throw me out of their pack as well, or worse, kill me.
