LOGINSerenity,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
Serenity, "Have you ordered Levante's coronation attire? The designers should have sent it home already," the Lycan King asked Gamma General Gideon, Lunaria's mate and husband, as everyone enjoyed dessert during the celebrations. "Yes, My King. They will be delivered for Lycan General's final checks," he replied quietly. "Thanks to Serenity, I hope everything will go smoothly." The Lycan King looked at me with genuine gratitude. "We have been troubling you." I shook my head. "I am repaying all the kindness you have shown me, My King. And helping Prince Levante is my duty now." Levante sipped his cold coffee and looked at me with a gentle gaze that made my chest tighten with quiet warmth. The Lycan Queen, however, sneered. "What's the point? At the end of the day, she failed to lift the curse." Levante's expression darkened immediately. "At least she can help me, Mother Queen. All you do is make my life more difficult." Silence fell across the room at once. The Lycan Que
Serenity,I could not sleep at all last night. The room I stayed in was enormous, just like Levante's, with a private pool connected to it, a small kitchen, and an open bath that let in the cool night air and the quiet rustle of leaves outside. Any other time, I might have felt like a child discovering treasure. That girl who once collected scraps from the streets, ran odd jobs, and endured beatings from the shop owner who accused her of stealing would have danced around such luxury.Instead, bitterness filled every corner of my mind. Life had wounded me too deeply. Learning that I was a child of sin, born from a forbidden act and cursed by the Moon Goddess herself, turned even simple gratitude into something hollow and mocking. Every breath reminded me how little time I might have left.I knew every life carried its own purpose. The creator had set down rules and paths for us all, separate from the Moon Goddess. My father always said we would leave this world once we fulfilled that
Serenity, I took the phone and kept the card in the same drawer where it had been. Although it was meant for me, I had no reason to use it for now. When I unlocked the phone, I was surprised to see everything already set up. My thumb hovered over the screen, pausing when I noticed the name saved i
Serenity,A gentle ray of sunlight filtered through the curtains and struck my eyelids, forcing me to squint and slowly open my eyes. My other hand instinctively reached toward the spot on my forearm where the needle had entered the night before, fingers twitching with the urge to scratch at the l
The world of the Lycans lay quiet after midnight, but a lively party aboard a luxurious yacht shattered the serene stillness of the Summer Ocean. Waves gently lapped against the vessel's hull, their rhythmic sound mixing with distant laughter and the clink of glasses. The deck glowed under soft a
Serenity, Levante left me with Leon. The air inside was smoother and sweeter than outside. I took a deep breath as the day slowly bled into night. The soft glow of lanterns cast warm shadows across the wooden walls of the cottage, filling the space with a calming herbal scent that eased some of th
