Se connecterLumina had to be taken to the ER right after Levante left her with a broken neck and wounded jaws. Even her people, who were supposed to protect her, couldn't move from where they were standing.Levante had become the rule maker of the Lycan Kingdom because of his unbiased rulings. To him, if the King himself committed a crime, Levante would still carry out the punishment.Seeing how badly he had injured his own sister, the Brighton family stood frozen. They had been hoping to meet their future son-in-law, but instead they witnessed his ruthless protectiveness toward the woman who might become the daughter they had abandoned. It left them stunned.Countess Brighton, who never thought her past would crawl out of the grave and appear before her, looked like she had seen a ghost. She could barely speak.Belinda, however, noticed her mother's panic and her father's rage toward her mother.After the guards took Lumina away, they returned to her private room. Countess Brighton kept shaking
Serenity,"What's wrong with you?"For the first time since we met, Levante's voice rose with frustration and disappointment. He placed me on the bed and let the female healer tend to my wounds, standing by my side the whole time. But eventually he could not hold back."I have told you countless times. Lumina isn't a good person. She doesn't care if anyone dies as long as she gets what she wants. Why did you leave the room right after I left? Do you have any idea how scared I was?"I lowered my head, my mind still spinning. "Serenity!" His voice dropped, sending a tremble through me. "Don't disappoint me.""I am sorry.""For what?""Not listening to you."Levante rubbed his forehead. "Serenity, I don't want you following people around just because they might help with something. I know you are trying to find a solution for my curse, but this is not the way. Can you, at least once, fight for yourself instead of thinking only about me?"I looked up at him, the words slipping out before
Serenity,The entire room became quiet. Lumina's expression shifted immediately, but it remained unreadable. She might not have expected me to retaliate.I looked at the woman who might possibly be my mother. Or perhaps her husband was the one. Whoever it was, I did not care.I was my father's daughter. I was Redwolf's daughter.My body moved before my mind could catch up. I met her eyes, my expression colder than ice."I raised myself. I treated my own wounds. I grew up alone. Who gave you the right to insult me?"Countess Brighton looked shocked as I walked closer. She was taller than me and more beautiful than me, but she had a nasty mouth.She tried to step back. Something flickered behind her eyes."Who told you that I am your daughter? Even if I was, I would spit on your grave and stomp on it until the world ends. If you dare to insult me or my body once again, I swear on whatever power created me, not your Moon Goddess, that I will rip that mouth apart."Everyone froze. My eyes
Serenity, "Was it a joke?" I called out, my voice dropping cold. "I don't appreciate this kind of joke, Princess Lumina!" Lumina's eyes widened for a brief second as she registered the lack of emotion in my tone. She had seen me as gullible and quiet, but she had gone too far by claiming I was someone's half-sister, especially a female lycan. "That's true, Your Highness. Why did you say something like this?" Countess Brighton asked. A faint tremor ran through her voice. "Our Belinda is the only child." A mischievous yet mysterious grin played on Lumina's lips, as if she were savoring the moment. "Unfortunately, I don't like liars. Countess Brighton and Count Brighton, I have chosen your daughter as the candidate for my brother's Luna. Since she will be prepared for my brother, I don't want any scandal attached to her." The couple swallowed hard. Lumina's words carried a manipulative edge. They were clearly lycans. What was she thinking by stirring up trouble for me? I would alr
It's said that when people face constant disappointment and loss of hope and trust in life, they stop trying to find a way out of that painful loop.Serenity's life had been happiest until she was fifteen. Despite being sick and overweight, she was the brightest soul who tried to treat every day as a blessing. However, once the reason for her happiness vanished, time taught her a harsh truth: she was utterly alone with a body that could barely survive, in a society that saw her as nothing but a parasite. Good things only happened to others. Never to her. The realization had left a deep emptiness inside her, a quiet ache that never fully faded.When surviving became the first instinct, the rest of the world no longer mattered.Princess Lumina was fully aware of her sufferings. She had witnessed the bruises covering Serenity's arms during blood draws and understood exactly what kind of exhausting life the girl endured, day after day.She knew that people like Serenity became obsessivel
Serenity,I felt lighter when I heard that she could finally help Levante. Yet the thought of leaving so soon broke my heart.For the first time in my life, I had known real happiness, and the idea of walking away from it felt deeply unfair. But at the end of the day, I was only a guest here."Serenity." Levante's deep voice carried from behind me, steady and calm. I had left the door open, unaware that he had returned from his meeting with his family about the upcoming succession day.I turned quickly, wiping away the tears that had slipped down my cheeks without permission."Yes?" I asked, trying to keep my voice light."Have you taken your medicines? It has been nearly a week since the first dose." "Medicine? Do I really have to?" I replied, reluctance clear in my eyes."You are no child," he said with a quiet sigh, setting a small box of chocolates on the table. "Take the potion first, then you may have these. I brought fresh Moon flowers as well."He pointed toward the vase wher
Levante,The woman whose fear was caught in her throat, whose eyes bore terror and whose fingers had been shaking moments ago, was now standing with her arms folded around her chest as she watched me trying to do the dishes. The faint yellow light above the sink reflected against her pale skin, whi
Serenity, Cure? The word successfully made me laugh. I was in the lowest position in society, barely scraping by while fighting against the illness that had been gradually killing me. Every single day felt like surviving instead of living. And here, he was, a Lycan Prince, someone standing at
Serenity,My heart thudded against my eardrums as I watched him. At that time, I didn't notice his appearance, but now, it felt like he was the devil incarnate.Bright red eyes, like liquid rubies bleeding beneath the sharp light, tanned skin stretched over hard muscle that the shirt could barely c
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
