"Are you ready?"I raised my gaze to look at my husbands in turn. Nods were given and footsteps accompanied. The loud voice of a man standing guard in front of the twin doors made my heart skip a beat."Alpha Kings and Luna are entering the hall!"My vision brightened as an attack of sparkling light pierced mercilessly. Instead of feeling troubled by the light, I challenged myself by opening my eyes even wider. Wow, crazy. Just as I had imagined. Even during the preparations, it looked luxurious, let alone when the festival party was held. Very much in line with my expectations!"What's wrong? Why are you so happy? Are you happy to welcome people who are ready to pounce on you right now?"I didn't respond to Zacharias' teasing properly. I was just busy putting on a cute smile. Although the people he was referring to looked a little scary, one of the purposes of this festival was also to strengthen the relationships of the members of the Celestial Dawn pack, right?We descended the st
'Luna, please give me your answer.''Luna, I am at the western border. If you are worried about the festival, then there is no need to worry. I have tried to minimize the number of people who know of your aunt's presence here.'Adam's voice buzzing in my head still couldn't overpower the voices of the bad thoughts in my heart. My body was still in place, but my mind had drifted everywhere. My pupils were moving restlessly, even though I didn't know where the focus of my vision was."By...""Ruby...""Ruby!"The faint sound of a familiar voice slowly grew louder until a jolt to the shoulder woke me up. Suddenly I straightened my gaze and the voice of my husbands who kept calling me finally became clear."Ruby, wake up! We need to decide on a course of action immediately! We need to check on your aunt's condition immediately!" Zephyr snapped with a stern look. "It looks like your aunt is in bad shape, we need to move quickly," added Zacharias."Are you listening to us, Ruby?" asked Zai
Why?Why do the people around me always end up dying tragically?Was it a form of bad luck that they had been close to me and lavished their affection on me?"Auntie, I'm sorry. I was wrong." Those two sentences kept coming to my lips tirelessly. The tears streamed down my face with a sad look. The trembling hands kept caressing the tombstone as if trying to caress someone's face."Auntie, did you forgive me there? I'm sorry." I looked down deeply. Some of my hair became sticky from the tears that fell heavily.The sound of painful sobs seemed to be held in my chest. They squeezed and tried to break my still-recovering heart. Sticking the knife in ruthlessly and pulling all consciousness to breathe spontaneously.It's so claustrophobic. My full head feels very heavy. If I exceed the limit a little more, I'm sure the intertwined threads will come out endlessly from my head."Auntie, I am guilty. I'll accept any punishment from you, but why are you so willing to give me a punishment tha
My hand firmly gripped the hem of the clothes. I turned my attention to other objects and used the time to think quickly. The drastic drop was not what I had expected. I hadn't prepared a coping plan to deal with this. This project was one that I worked on starting from 0. Even so, it didn't mean I could use the excuse that it was the first time for a failure."Luna, are you okay? Your face is very pale. Should I step in to replace you?" worried Zora. Her eyebrows drooped with a deep gaze."I came to you today to submit a report on a project I'm working on for another reason. I wanted to get to work and help you." Zora looked down and said that hesitantly. But a second later, she immediately straightened her gaze and moved her palms to the right and left."No, please don't take offense. Luna, I didn't mean to belittle you at all. I... I just wanted to help when I heard that your aunt passed away and you were feeling very down. I want to work on finishing your many tasks that must be
Spontaneously, I rose to my feet. I stared intently at Adam who walked over to me. It seemed that he sensed my worry and anger because the mind link between us was still linked. Realizing this, I immediately broke the mind link."Luna, even if you are worried, you must not make any rash decisions."Alpha Theron looked at us in confusion. His secretary, who seemed to have figured out what was going on, immediately whispered some news to Alpha Theron. He rose to his feet and immediately approached me."Forgive me if I'm presumptuous. Luna, you should not interfere in the fight between the Wildfire pack and the rogue pack," Alpha Theron said. He cast the same worried look as Adam.Wildfire pack under attack? The first thing I thought of was one word: help. I have to help them. After all, Wildfire Pack is my birthplace, my father's birthplace, and the place where my mother and father's love blossomed.It's enough that their presence was swept away by fate and their memories burned away be
"Luna, it's not too late if you want to come back." Adam looked back then back straight ahead.I, who was busy arranging the rifle, then turned my attention to the side. One of my eyebrows raised. A sense of wonder surfaced when I was looking at Adam."Are you scared right now?" I asked sarcastically. He, who was moving restlessly, immediately became still and looked at me sharply."If not, then shut up. We're too late to go back."Adam let out a long sigh. He leaned his head against the car window and turned to stare at me intently. His gaze seemed to be asking how powerful the rifle in my hand was."If you're asking how powerful the attack from this rifle is, the answer is that I don't know. This is the latest rifle that I made together with the expert. I've tried it out on experimental animals, and it works great. It can kill a wild animal in one hit.""I hope this rifle can also work well to finish off all our enemies. Be grateful that you have the opportunity to use this great ri
"Luna, it looks like we're running late."I glanced around. It was a tragic scene with piles of mangled corpses. Their bodies were torn apart. Their blood was flowing profusely, even forming a small river on the ground."So, are the rogues who attacked us the rogues who left after destroying the Wildfire pack?"Adam gave a weak look. "That seems to be the case, Luna.""Split up! Find anyone who's still alive! If you find a rogue, destroy it on the spot!" Adam ordered in a high tone."Yes!"The warriors, carrying their respective rifles, immediately went around the neighborhood. Some of them kept watch around the car which was an important transportation for us.My heavy legs forced themselves to take a step. My blank gaze tried to scan the surroundings even though I didn't know what I was looking for. The building that was once colorful with tall, shady trees was now just a gray, burnt-out-looking building and trees with fallen branches and scratch marks on their trunks.The green gra
"Luna, we should go through the eastern border. They haven't surrounded that part of the border yet." After Adam decided on the mind link, which I didn't know who he did it with, he immediately reported it to me. I just nodded approvingly. After all, Adam wouldn't make a wrong decision that would jeopardize me."Have they attacked in other parts of the border except the eastern border?""Yes, Luna."I bit my lower lip as I thought hard. If all the borders had been captured apart from the border Adam had mentioned earlier, it meant that the rogues and black witches had quickly pushed in and surrounded the Celestial Dawn pack.Were they so powerful and numerous? If you think about it carefully, of course, they will prepare a careful plan before attacking the largest pack in this country, the Celestial Dawn pack. If they didn't do that, they would be at a great disadvantage themselves. They wouldn't be so stupid as to cause harm to themselves.What if it turned out that there were quit
