LOGINSerenity,This was the biggest mall I had ever seen. Everything here spoke of pure luxury.When I walked into a clothing store and spotted a beautiful modest summer dress, I flipped the price tag and my hand froze.“Twenty thousand dollars for this?” My breath caught in my chest. My monthly salary had only been around fifteen hundred dollars.“Not to your liking?” Kae asked gently, reaching out to touch the fabric.“It’s beautiful. But did you see the price?” I showed him the tag. “That’s about four months of what I used to earn.”His expression shifted slightly before he replied, “You’re holding a black card and still thinking about the price?”I scoffed. “It’s not my money. I didn’t earn it.”Kae stayed quiet for a moment, then let out a soft chuckle. “You really are something.”I didn’t answer. Instead I walked toward the corner of the store marked with a wholesome sale sign. There hung a beautiful white summer dress scattered with small yellow flowers. The fabric was not as fine a
Serenity, My father used to say that when a person grew desperate for something, they forgot many things they ought to consider. Martin’s emotions and requests came abrupt and spontaneous, as though the words left his mouth the instant they formed in his mind. This time I showed nothing. I stood still, shoulders squared, meeting his eyes without a flicker. “No. I have a father who died. He raised me single-handed. He taught me the world. I cannot erase him from anywhere, not even from a single piece of paper.” Martin’s face fell. The corners of his mouth tightened. His jaw locked hard enough that a muscle jumped along the side of his neck. His hands clenched at his sides until the knuckles whitened. “Sir,” I said calmly, voice even, “although I am not educated, I have learned about life. You should calm down. Despite the fact that you are strong and powerful, right now every sort of emotion and mental strain is forcing you to think too fast, to pile too many things together at onc
Serenity,My heart skipped a hard beat. There was no hesitation in his voice, not even the faintest tremor, as if he truly understood Levante’s feelings.I wanted to scoff, to retort, to deny the delusional declaration outright. But the words refused to come. A faint yet insistent hope fluttered through my chest, soft and stubborn at once.I stared at the blurry face opposite me, searching for any flicker of mockery or calculation. Nothing. Something in him simply held me still, leaving me unable to push back.I drew a slow breath. This time the smile that touched my lips carried no bitterness, only a cautious hope. “Fine,” I said, keeping my tone light. “I will ask Martin to send the proposal. Since he sent you here, I’ll hope that… he might want me.”Kae said nothing, yet I caught the subtle shift in his eyes, something quieter, almost approving. The tension in my shoulders eased a fraction. Maybe I clung to the foolish hope because of him. Or maybe he was my mate and still chose t
Serenity,The appetite vanished the moment Zack told me about the engagement. I wasn’t surprised. Now that he had become the General, marriage was only a matter of time.A bitter yet warm smile touched my lips. I hoped whoever he married would take care of him from now on. He had already suffered enough. He didn’t need more trouble.Ethan and Zack lingered a little longer than necessary, watching me as if they expected me to break. When they saw me moving around the kitchen with a blank face, preparing breakfast as usual, they left without a word.I finished cooking in a haze. My mind felt distant, almost hollow. When I reached for the three plates, my hands moved out of long habit. As a servant I had long since learned how to carry several at once. But the moment my fingers brushed the edges, they froze in midair.Every single toast was garlic avocado toast, the kind I used to make for Levante. I had even poured extra garlic oil over them, the way he liked.Something inside me cracke
Serenity,Martin and Kae stared at me with wide eyes. Disbelief shone too clearly in their faces for me to ignore, yet I felt no urge to take the words back. The long-held pressure of keeping those feelings locked away, unspoken and unattended, had finally eased. I loved Levante. I loved the man he was, not his wealth, not his appearance, not the power of his bloodline. Accepting that truth felt like breathing freely for the first time.He would never be mine. He was never meant to be. Still, loving him filled something empty inside me. This time I knew I had not given my heart to the wrong man, or to someone as false as Nolan.Martin sank into a chair the moment the confession left my lips. Kae remained frozen for a breath longer, then slowly lowered himself as well, his gaze fixed on the countertop in an expression I could not read.If he ever learned that I was his mate, I would have begged his forgiveness and asked him to reject the bond. But tonight I chose selfishness. I no long
Serenity,I had a bad sleep last night. By the time I got out of my room and headed for breakfast, the sun was out, but it still felt dark outside. I was hungry and could not wait any longer.I was not ungrateful for this lifestyle. The Moon Goddess was not wrong. The curse had lifted. Or at least it seemed that way. Things were changing, after all.“Good morning!”I jumped when the door next to mine opened and that guy walked out. I still did not know his name.“You scared me,” I said coldly.He gave a tight grin. “Heading for breakfast?”My eyes narrowed. “How do you know?”“You did not have dinner last night. So I assumed.”I tried to look at his face more closely, but something kept making my eyes burn. It felt like trying to see something clearly in a dream. Everything stayed blurred. A soft ache settled behind my eyes.“Is everything all right?” he asked, concerned.“No,” I said quietly. Then I paused. “Do you know why I cannot use my social account here? I cannot reach anyone o
Serenity, As soon as Nolan left with his friends, barely moving on his feet, my Wolf howled in my head in pain. The crushing blow felt like a tidal wave hitting my chest, firing straight across my heart. My knees almost buckled underneath me. I grabbed the edge of the kitchen counter to steady my
Serenity, I had been bullied since I could remember the beginning of my life. I used to cry in my Dad's arms, asking why I had to be so heavy, so slow and so ugly. Why nobody ever acknowledged me as their friend, why I was always the one left out, always the one whispered about. But Dad used to
Serenity, "Are you alright?" Sunya, one of the Luna's personal servants, held out a candy toward me. "Here, take it before your blood sugar drops again." I nodded quietly before taking it, my fingers brushing against hers for a brief second, warm and steady. I unwrapped it and shoved it into my m
