The torches flickered in the narrow corridor leading to the lower chamber, the air damp and heavy with tension. Inside, Marah sat silently, staring ahead, her wrists clenched tightly on her lap. Ralph had just stepped forward.

Edwin remained still, his gaze fixed on her, jaw locked in quiet resolve.

Then, knock knock.

The sharp double knock echoed through the corridor, followed by the heavy thuds of approaching boots. Edwin's eyes narrowed.

This time there came another knock, louder and impati

  • The Gifted Luna    Chapter 72: The Race to Save the Truth

    Across the territory, in Edwin's war room, Ralph relayed Miles' message with cold urgency."Are you sure that Miles can be trusted, Ralph?" Those were the first words that rolled out of Edwin's mouth."I have observed him for a few days, my lord. And I can now boldly tell you that he is now a changed man," Ralph said, boldly vouching for Miles."I really do know that you are right, Ralph." Edwin muttered, almost inaudibly. "I really hope so because, if not, we will be putting everything that we have managed to gather to risk. Our lives and loved ones included," "I assure you, my lord, but I will also make sure to do my own findings and confirm that he has told me nothing but the truth." He assured Edwin."The ball is in your court now, my friend." Edwin said, sounding uninterested in Miles. " But if he is telling the truth, what do you think?" "I think that Miles was telling the truth considering the fact that clearing his house is the best he could do for himself at the moment," Ra

  • The Gifted Luna    Chapter 71: The Council is Stirring cont'd

    The council hall's side chamber was not often used as it was too small for full gatherings and too quiet for formal decrees. But that evening, Edwin had deliberately chosen it for his secret meeting. The inside of the chamber was lit with a handful of lanterns. A thick silence hung in the air as three trusted Elders sat around the circular table: Elder Xavier, Elder Eric, and Elder Nena. These people were a rare and neutral voice respected by both Edwin and Garrett's sides.Edwin sat at the head of the table, waiting for the right moment to begin the meeting. Behind him, Ralph stood guard beside the door, taking guard and cover. Edwin was being extremely careful as he knew that Garrett might have caught a wind of him having meetings with other members of the council in his absence.In a seat not too far from the wall sat Marah. Her eyes were downcast but steady and Ralph felt something for her, pity.Her face was pale, but there was a flicker of something new in her expression. It di

  • The Gifted Luna    Chapter 70: The Council is Stirring

    Garrett stood at the head of theong table in his dining hall. On it, a map of the Dark Moon pack territories stretched out before him. But his eyes were not on the map. They were with one of the members of the council, Elder Mark, who stood at the doorway, shifting nervously."Mark?" Garrett called in a questioning manner."Yes, my lord," he nervously replied."Why are you here? What are you doing standing by the door, shaking and shivering like a little bird beaten by a heavy rain?" He said, stretching to his full length, away from the table, away from the map on it."I came here because you requested an update, Beta Garrett," Mark began, bowing slightly. "Like you just said, I requested a report not a guard who watches me like a creep." Garrett lightly chuckled."I am sorry to disturb your peace and quiet, my lord," Elder Mark quickly apologized."Can you please just tell me why you are here? I do not have all the time in the world to waste on you," Garrett scolded him." There is

  • The Gifted Luna    Doubt In The Shadow cont'd

    Edwin froze out of disbelief, "you are starting to confuse us with your words, Marah," he lightly chuckled, thinking that she was just stressed and that was why she was saying gibberish.Marah shakily exhaled. "A few days before that unfortunate incident happened, Garrett summoned me," she spoke. " At first, I was happy because I had thought that it was for more money."" And as at that time, My family was desperately in need of money. My brothers had not eaten in two days, we were owing so many merchants and after buying food on credit," she sniffed."But there is one thing I want to understand here, Marah," Ralph said, finally speaking. " Why did you not just ask Beta George's wife for assistance then?" He said."Hmm," she sighed. "It was actually but that she would not have assisted myswlf and my family but i mean, I was tired from having to run to her whenever we needed financial assistance or supplies." Her voice cracked."That woman was always ready to lend helping hands, even t

  • The Gifted Luna    Chapter 68: Doubt in the Shadows

    All alone, Miles sat by the arena. His hands were rested on his knees, and his knuckles scabbed from sparring or maybe from guilt. The night air was still, and unusually quiet, the kind of quiet night that made memories and even thoughts louder.He stared down at his boots which were heavily coated with dust and worn. He could still see Ralph's glare, and hear Edwin's firm and unwavering voice, from a few days ago."Do you trust him?""I do not trust him enough to give him the access that he seeks but I want to believe that I trust that he wants to survive. That is enough."Those words continued fo echo in his head. "Hmm," he sighed, feeling guilty and incompetent at the same time. "You know that Ralph was right, Miles," his inner mind told him." That is what it had always been, hadn't it? You just wanted to survive, to live among the privileged and wealthy. You never really cared how you went about it, all that mattered to you was how to fill your pocket and escape your poor backg

  • The Gifted Luna    Chapter 68: No Such Thing As Redemption

    Silence settled for a moment. Then she asked, eyes locking onto his, "Any progress? Have you been able to get any useful information concerning my parents?"Edwin slowly nodded. "We have discovered so much more than before, Marah." He happily replied. "More than before." He added."And you did not think that I deserve to have known this before now?" She asked him, walking away from Edwin."Things are not what it how they seem to be, Tiara," he quickly said, trying to explain things to her. "Marah....." he trailed off."....that was the name of the maid that worked for your parents back then." He continued." Ohh, I see," she said, sounding uninterested in what he was saying."We managed to make her talk, a few days ago. But we are yet to get everything out of her, but I assure you that right now, we have more than enough to lead us forward. Ralph is now seriously digging into records we did not know existed."Not wanting to show that she was interested now, Tiara simoly spoke. "And wh

    Edwin sat in his room, ruminating over the past few days, and ever other thing that they had found out about Tiara's parent's death.Going through the record that laid right in front of him, he zoned out, his mind wandering off in various thoughts. He was deeply engrossed in his thoughts to the poi

    The moon had long risen since Edwin and his most trusted warrior, Ralph, slipped through the back corridor of the Alpha Hall, into the archives. Their steps were silent, well-practiced, the sound of their boots muffled, showing years of shared secrets and battle-bonded loyalty between the alpha and

    The moment Edwin rode into the Dark Moon Pack's territory, Vanessa had been alerted by the bell which announced his arrival.She ran all the way outside the alpha's residence, her arms were folded. Her foot was tapping on the stone pathway. Her hair was perfect, her cloak spotless, but her eyes bur

    Days continued to roll over days, turning into weeks.Edwin kept up with his alpha responsibilities: he made appearances, had meetings with the elders of council, and even took walks with Vanessa. They had empty conversations about ceremonies and public appearances. He nodded, he smiled, and he end
