• LUNA'S SECRET   YOU HAVE CHANGED

  My eyes hardened and I clenched my fists. “I won't meet them. Tell them to go back to their suite. They will see me in the grand hall alongside other alphas. I can't have people whispering about preferential treatment on this big day.”My words struck everyone speechless, I could see it in their eyes, and the way some of their mouths dropped open. Annalise was the most shocked of them all. “Princess, they're your family. Your own flesh and blood. They have missed you a lot, it has been months since we came here. Shouldn't it be the same for you?”I chuckled coldly and looked at her as if she said the most ridiculous thing ever. “Family? Is that so? How come I don't recall having a family?”“Princess!” Annalise snapped, her voice rising an octave. “What? Was I wrong? They didn't even send me a letter during my earlier days here when I was suffering, not a single one. Nor did they ask after me or care, even when Olivia nearly killed me. But now that the emperor made me the first ran

• LUNA'S SECRET   A NEW DREAM

  RONA'S POVThe long awaited birthday was finally here, and I was all smiles. I just finished my bath with warm goat milk, flowers, and essential oil. At the moment, I was dressed in a flimsy inner gown. Two of the maids came to help me with the body ointment and scented cream, making sure to massage every visible part of my skin till it was soft and glowing. I was humming and nodding happily as I sat before the dresser mirror. I could hear the musicians playing downstairs. Actually, they have been playing since yesterday afternoon for guests from far away places who arrived earlier than others. The celebrations started yesterday, and the birthday subsidies were shared yesterday. Everyone basically had their own luxury clothes ready for the main party, even when not everyone would be allowed inside the grand hall because of space. But at least it still felt pretty good to parade the streets in new clothes. As for me, I still had numerous clothes I had not touched. So when I was aske

• LUNA'S SECRET   DEEP SUSPICION

  Emperor Richard's POVErica rushed out of the palace, a huge smile on her face, almost as if she knew I was preparing a surprise for her. My heart felt light, and a rare smile graced my face. She waved enthusiastically at me, returning my smile. Oh? She seemed to be in a good mood today, unlike the habitual nagging of the past few days. I didn't know what happened, but I was just glad to have my beautiful wife back. A thought occurred to me and I sighed. What if my suspicions turn out to be true? What was I going to do? Turning a blind eye for now might allow us to continue living in harmony. But the seed of doubt had already been planted. Recently, I found myself instinctively dissecting her words and actions. It was not intentional, but I kept restricting the things I say or do around her, especially military and trade secrets, unlike before when I used to go through reports in her presence.That suspicion I once viewed her with when she first arrived was back in full force. The

• LUNA'S SECRET   WAS I WRONG?

  RONAS POVThe entire palace had been a beehive of activities in readiness for Richard's birthday in two days time, especially heaven's court, Richard's palace. I couldn't count the amount of animals that had been brought in to be killed, different species of the very best quality, the biggest and tastiest free range, organically raised animals, all for one person. Money sure was good. Even rare fishes from the southern sea were brought over in strange concrete ponds, and set up in the pantry extension behind Richard's palace, which was opened because of his birthday.The feast started two days ago for guests who came from afar and were lodged in the guest house, beside Olivia's previous palace, making everywhere busier than normal. Which of course meant that the guards had to be tripled to double check everyone's identity before entrance to avoid an enemy sneaking in. Yesterday when I went out, I saw checkpoints at strategic points connecting major roads and streets. Richard's palace

• LUNA'S SECRET   I KNOW YOU'RE LYING

  RONA'S POVI never knew that feigning unconsciousness could be so hard till today. The moment I saw Richard burst into the room, I realized that I messed up. Someone set a trap to make Richard catch me, and I fell right in. He picked me up and laid me back on the bed. Even though my eyes were closed, I could still picture him frowning as he thought about what he saw. Annalise came in with a bowl of warm water which he used to wipe down my sweaty forehead. Could someone please tell them that I was sweating due to fear, not fever? They should get the fucking out of my room. Ever since the incident where I tried to leave, Annalise had become more distant to me, almost as if she discovered something. Damn it! Why did Richard stop me from escaping? Every minute, I felt as if the hourglass had been flipped against my favor, and each grain of sand that fell seemed like it was tightening the noose around my neck, making it hard to breathe. I waited for fifteen minutes and opened my eyes.

• LUNA'S SECRET   EYES IN THE DARK

  UNKNOWN POVIn a dark storeroom, near the east gates of the imperial city, a man was standing, his face entirely covered with a black cloak. Another man dressed in all black, with a black mask covering his face knelt on one knee, his head bowed. A third one stood to the side, equally dressed in black assassin garbs, with his face covered. The man in the black cloak seemed to be their boss and the one in the assassin garb kneeling down seemed to be making a report to him. There was only the faint flicker of soft blue light from the light crystal lighting up the room. The boss seemed to be quite rich, he could even afford light crystals and a cloak made of black brocade. He appeared to be saying something to the one kneeling. “Are you certain of this?”“One hundred percent certain, my Lord. The imperial concubine is a blood wolf, an incredibly powerful alpha at that. I can't be mistaken about this. The moment I came in and launched an attack, she leaped off the bed with amazing agil
