ログイン⸻Olivia POVI stood back a bit as the Moon Warriors behind me attacked the seal.Claws.Swords.Blades.Different spells and techniques were thrown against it, but it was like throwing a stone into a river. It only caused a ripple, leaving no visible damage.“Let me try,” Alpha Kingsley offered.“No, let me try,” Karl cut him off before I could reply.I don’t know why, but there seemed to be something off between these two. I had always noticed and sensed a subtle tension and rivalry whenever they met.I could swear to the Moon Goddess that they had never crossed paths before. Karl would have spoken to me about it.Why the hostility?Or was I just imagining things?Whatever. This wasn’t my problem for now, and it shouldn’t bother me.Karl and Alpha Kingsley both moved forward at once to attack the seal, neither willing to concede to the other.“Stop,” I commanded.“It’s pointless attacking it,” I said to them both.“Step aside.”“But Olivia…”“Now, Lycan Chairman,” I ordered.“Yes, m
⸻Olivia POV“How?” Karl asked.“There are no blade marks,” I replied.“But we already built defenses against black magic and infiltration by the Evil God Organization,” a Moon Guardian spoke.“Yeah, we did that.” I nodded in confirmation.“But…”“But we opened our gates to outsiders,” Karl cut in before I could speak.“Our detection can hold against the Evil God followers, but not against werewolf traitors hidden within our ranks.”“How easy is it for an Alpha or an elder to pass through our defenses without suspicion?” I asked.“Nobody would suspect them. Even a Lycan lord would lower his guard around them,” a Moon Guardian commented.I examined the body again and then I saw it.A tiny black tattoo appeared on the Moon warrior’s chest.My blood ran cold.I knew that symbol.It was a sign that black magic had been used.“But why?” I asked myself as something wasn’t adding up.“The Evil God Organization.”Alpha Kingsley’s voice came from behind me.I looked at him and knew that he had
Olivia’s POV The words from the inside settled over the banquet hall like a death sentence. For several seconds, nobody moved. I stared at the servant. “Explain.” His throat bobbed as he swallowed. “The eastern watchtower was manned by six Moon warriors ,” he said. “They were supposed to send a signal every fifteen minutes.” “And they stopped?” “Yes, my lady.” “When?” “Seven minutes ago” he replied. My eyes narrowed. “Seven minutes is not enough time for an ordinary enemy force to breach the barrier.” Karl immediately understood what I was thinking. “That means whoever did this already knew where the barrier was weakest.” “Or they knew how to deactivate it,” I replied. A murmur travelled through the hall. The faces around me changed. Fear. Suspicion. Some people instinctively moved closer to their companions. Others began looking at the Moon Guardians. Nobody trusted anyone anymore. The moon warriors were my own people from the secret abod
Olivia’s POV “You’ve already accused her without evidence”. “And now she has just revealed herself as Olivia- our pack Luna”. “And now you’re demanding that she prove her identity to you?” “Are trying to provoke me” he asked his voice laced with warning and danger. He was now very enraged and provoked. Why was he so enraged, I asked myself in my head. For all I know he’s supposed to side with his woman. “Why does he now behave as if he cares about me? He’s now the Lycan chairman and my use is done unless…. Am now the lady of the moon temple and probably have more value to him. Thinking about it a smirk appeared on my face as my resolve grew colder. Kate’s lips trembled. “But—” “No but” he interrupted his voice becoming colder. “You don’t get to interrogate my mate.” My heart skipped. I hated that word. Mate. Yet hearing it from him still did something to me. Something I wished it wouldn’t. I looked away my fist clinched. Kingsley noticed. His
Olivia’s POV No one spoke. The silence that followed my revelation was heavier than anything I had experienced since entering the banquet hall. Kate was still staring at me as though staring long enough could somehow make me disappear. Sophia looked equally terrified. My mother had one hand pressed against her chest, her lips trembling as she struggled to comprehend what stood before her. I had imagined this moment countless times. I had imagined their faces. Their fear. Their regret. Their disbelief. But somehow, seeing it in reality felt different. It didn’t feel as satisfying as I thought it would. Perhaps because somewhere beneath all the anger, there was still a little girl who had once desperately wanted these people to love her. That girl was dead. I had buried her alongside the person I used to be. “Olivia…” Kingsley said my name again. This time, his voice was rough. I looked at him. He was still standing. His hands were clenched tightly at his sides, his
Olivia’s POV“My lady,” Karl called.My hands stopped for a bit as I turned to him.“You know that you don’t have to if you don’t want to. It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks,” he stated firmly.Beneath the silver mask, I could not help but smile, warmth filling my heart. He would not allow me to suffer any injustice, even if it meant facing off against the world.“And you, Lycan chairman.”“What do you think?” I asked Alpha Kingsley, seeking to hear what my deadbeat mate had to say.“Are you also in support of your Luna or companion, or whatever you deem fit to address her as?” I questioned.“She speaks for herself alone,” he announced without hesitation causing more gossip among the crowd.“The decision lies in your hands, Lady of the Moon Temple,” he replied.“Whether you choose to lift the mask or not is your call and not mine. But I personally would have loved to witness the magnificent face behind the mask, but not on account of the accusations.”“I trust and believe you,” he s
