Chapter 8

Author: Freya
Lately, word had been going around that Alex had come all the way to the Northern Territory.

He had tried to see me, but people kept chasing him away.

I had deleted all his messages and blocked his number. I honestly thought I would never have to lay eyes on Alex again. At least, not until that afternoon.

The moment I stepped through the front door, the sound of a scuffle echoed from the living room.

Troy had someone pinned to the floor, his knee pressing heavily against the intruder's back

  • Moon City Without You   Chapter 9

    On the day of our mating ceremony, I was slipping into my gown when a knock suddenly sounded at the door.A staff member walked in carrying a package, saying someone had asked him to deliver it straight to me.I opened the package to find a small box inside, and resting within it was a ruby ring. The cut of the ring was slightly worn down, looking rather old and weathered.I recognized it instantly—it was the very same ruby ring Alex had given me back then.I had clearly thrown this ring straight into the trash can, yet somehow Alex had managed to find it. And now it had somehow found its way back to me.Tucked underneath the ring was a small piece of paper.[Vanessa. I will wait forever for you to come back to me.]I called the staff member back over and told him to return the package, stating that I didn't want it. If the sender refused to take it back, he could just dispose of it himself.Just then, Troy pushed open the door and happened to catch sight of the scene.He look

I honestly thought I would never have to lay eyes on Alex again. At least, not until that afternoon.The moment I stepped through the front door, the sound of a scuffle echoed from the living room.Troy had someone pinned to the floor, his knee pressing heavily against the intruder's back while one hand held the guy's neck down as he thrashed around wildly."Troy, my god, what is happening?!"I hurried over."He was sneaking around outside, looking like he was about to jump the fence, so I caught him and gave him a beating," Troy explained.I rushed forward, and when I caught sight of the guy's face, I gasped out loud. "Alex?!"Seeing me, Alex began struggling even harder against the hold."Vanessa! I finally found you! They wouldn't let me see you, so this was the only way

  • Moon City Without You   Chapter 7

    I was woken up by an insanely sweet aroma.I sat up and sniffed the air carefully. Mmm... it smelled like butter, flatbread, sweet tea, and some kind of savory seared meat.After last night’s awakening ceremony, I was absolutely starving, so I quickly threw on my clothes and hurried downstairs.When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I found Troy in the kitchen.His back was turned away, wearing a simple dark dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, exposing his toned forearms as he leaned down to arrange something on a plate.The dining table was packed with food: golden buttered flatbread, steaming sweet tea, steak and eggs, and a bowl of yogurt topped with fresh berries.Mom was sitting at the table, clutching a teacup. She looked delighted, clearly thrilled with everything laid out in front of her.Hearing my footsteps, she looked up and offered me a soft smile."Vanessa, you're finally awake." She glanced over at Troy. "Troy came over super early just to make breakfast for

    I stood in the middle of the courtyard, taking deep breaths to try to get myself to relax."Don't be nervous, sweetheart."Mom kissed my forehead and wrapped me in a hug."It'll all be over soon." She patted my back reassuringly. "Go on, just do as your dad said."Dad stood beside us, his expression grave as he gestured for me to kneel."Vanessa, my daughter," Dad's deep, steady voice sounded. "The Moon Goddess will bestow upon you your wolf spirit and your bloodline. Tonight, your wolf is about to wake up. Don't fight it, and don't be afraid—just let it out."The moonlight bathed my body as I closed my eyes.At first, nothing happened. Then, the ambient sounds around me began to fade into the distance, and the pain struck without warning.I could hear my bones popping and cracking beneath my skin, my muscles stretching, twisting, and reshaping themselves. My spine arched uncontrollably, my fingers digging into the dirt as my nails grew long and hard, while my skin felt as th

  • Moon City Without You   Chapter 5

    "Vanes—"I hung up, not wanting to hear another word of whatever Alex had to say.Soon, the plane lifted into the sky, and with it, my new life was finally beginning.When I dragged my suitcase into the airport arrival hall, a sleek black car was already idling near the entrance. Standing beside it was a tall figure with his back toward me, clad in a sharp, tailored black suit. He had broad shoulders and an exceptionally upright posture. Even from just his silhouette, I could tell he was undeniably handsome.As if hearing my footsteps, he turned around."Vanessa." He walked over to me, a subtle curve forming at the corners of his lips. "Long time no see.""Troy?"I stood there in shock for a good few seconds.Troy Johnson was the son of a close friend of my father's. Growing up, Troy was always so serious, constantly trailing behind me with a stoic face. But he had grown so much taller since I last saw him, his facial features far more defined and his jawline dangerously

  • Moon City Without You   Chapter 4

    I transferred my pack affiliation back to the Northern Territory, ready to bid farewell to everything here.So I went home to pack up my things. However, just as I reached my front door, I spotted a tall figure leaning against the stone wall beside the entrance. His arms were crossed over his chest, with a frail figure huddled right next to him.The second Alex saw me, he marched right over.His face was thoroughly flushed with irritation, a sense of anxiety in his eyes that he couldn't quite hide."Vanessa." He blocked my path. "Why have you been ignoring all my texts? Why didn't you let me know you were back? Do you have any idea—""I'm back, aren't I?" I cut him off, my voice dead calm. "Now you know."He froze, choking out a dry sound as if he hadn't expected me to react like this."Fine, then why did you go to Moon City all by yourself? Didn't we agree...""Alex," I said, my patience wearing thin. "Didn't you say it yourself? Lily couldn't go, so I went alone. Is there a
