Lucy's POV

A day flew by, and fortunately, the only surviving scout from the attack finally became conscious. We returned to the infirmary, where the smell of death still looked in the air, waiting and watching for whom to snatch up into its claws.

The scout was younger than I had imagined—barely even older than myself, with luxurious dark hair that fanned out on the pillow underneath her head. Her skin looked pale, but it was obviously due to the severe wounds she sustained. A thick bandage had been wrapped around her torso, and one of her legs was incomplete from below the knee.

She had been staring blankly at the ceiling when we had stepped into her room. Desolation was etched over her small, innocent face.

After a moment, she turned to us, and I caught a full glimpse of the tears running across her face.

The Luna stepped forward and took the scout's hand in hers, looking apologetic. As though she was the one who had put the scout in such a position in the first place.

    Lucy's POVThe next day, Shaun had to leave early to have a brief meeting with his brothers regarding the message he received from the scouts. I should have gone with him, but he assured me that I would get feedback as soon as they were done, and advised me to get some air. I still hadn't told him about my little ‘discussion’ with his aunt, but maybe he didn't need to know about it. Knowing him, he might have taken it even more seriously than I had.After finishing up the breakfast which had been brought up to me, I took a quick bath, did my hair, and put on a fresh set of clean clothes. Gowns had become tiring to me, so I opted for some free pants and a loose flowery top that slipped past my shoulders. After confirming my appearance in the mirror, I exited the room and stepped out. As I went down the long winding hallways of the palace, I couldn't help but remember the conversation I had witnessed between Annabella and the other woman I didn't know. I didn't understand how people co

    Lucy's POVFinally alone, I found a little spot in the palace where I could take a seat and just think about the many ways that fate had dealt me a severe bow to the chest. It was exhausting always trying to explain myself, and the more I had to, the more I started to doubt why I should even have cared in the first place. The main thing that kept me moving was the realisation that despite everything, there was still hope for my future.My stomach grumbled, and I finally got up from the little crevicd where I had almost allowed myself to wallow in self-pity. As I did, Annabella appeared in front of me. She appeared to have been on her way to somewhere, with the way her chest gently rose and fell with each breath.Today, her hair was let loose, and it cascaded over her shoulders like a wavy, glossy curtain. Some blood had flowed into her cheeks, making them slightly pale. I remembered then that I didn't even know how her meeting with Scott had gone. Although it might not exactly have

    Lucy's POV“The Southern border is completely compromised,” Adrianne said, leading us to the infirmary—although I had some doubts as to why corpses would have been taken there, unless it was merely for the sake of investigation. “The rest of our men had to evacuate the area immediately, or risk losing their own lives.”“Good goddess, what is all this madness?” asked the Luna, lifting both hands into the air to lay emphasis on her rhetorical question. “It's been barely a week since we got the first account of suspected rogues roaming the South. Now this?”We made a sharp turn, and had to wait a little for the warrior to open a large set of doors before we could proceed further. The doors led to another hallway, but this one had a distinct look to it.The floors were pristine, and the faint smell of rubbing alcohol filled my nose as we proceeded. People wearing white walked back and forth with hurried steps, while some moved people on small, movable beds into rooms. One woman in partic

    Lucy's POVMy first day in Moonstruck Pack went exceedingly well. When night came, we were all shown to our respective rooms to close off the day. Initially, I had been assigned my own separate chambers, but Shaun seemed to think that I might get stolen away by some unknown entity, and smuggled himself into my room.“Can't you stay away from me for just one night, Shaun?” I asked, on the verge of laughter as he acted like one sneaking in, looking over his shoulder as he closed the door to the room.Confident that we were now alone, he stood to his full height. Even in the dark, I could feel his contented smile as it fell on me. “Why should I stay away from my bride-to-be?” he said, slowly walking over to the bed, where I lay. “Because courtesy demands it. It's considered bad practice for a couple to spend the night together before they are wed.”“Hm?” He was on the bed now, gently pressing it down with his weight. I made space for him by moving out of the way, but remained close eno

    Lucy's POV Moonstruck pack was just like the stories had said. High, towering, buildings, a merchant-led cosmopolitan, and clean land devoid of any rubble or debris—not that it was supposed to tbe dirty—even though its land was flowing with a larger number of people than those in Bloodbath and Moongrowl combined.To most, it appeared as a singular nation on its own, distant from other packs, and vivid in territory. The journey there took a long while, and throughout I had forced my eyes to remain open, more from childish wonder and excitement than from the need to remain alert. It wasn't uncommon for rogues to intercept travelling vehicles, and with the growing alarm in the neighbouring packs, it was wise to pay attention to one's surroundings when making such travels.We were welcomed into the palace at the centre of the territory, where the aged, but powerful looking, building rose like a sword raised to the sky, catching the rays of sunlight on its reddish-brown stone walls.The
