In the South Eastern woods, near the river that connected the two biggest lakes in the world, lived the Thornwheel Clan―or in the wolf term, the Crescent River Pack. 

Just like Larwoods family or the Crescent Glacier Pack, Ajax's clan in the North, Elias Thornwheel was a part of the Thornwheel Clan occupying the largest area in the South Eastern Woods they had claimed as their territory. Elias, similar to Ajax, was also someone next to the throne and was prophecied to become the next Alpha King. Both Elias and Ajax were responsible to rule, especially when the Alpha King suddenly went missing. 

Just as what was currently happening. 

I later found out that the Alpha King Thomas disappeared after battling a group of humans with lethal weapons while trying to scout the barriers of the place where everyone in the pack resided. According to Kid, the beta and right hand of our Alpha King Thomas Larwoods, the humans tried to use their  bullets and some even made use of special crafts while trying to invade the territory that we all knew Mr. Larwoods had protected for hundreds of years. 

I myself couldn't say much about humans since I rarely interacted with them. I was an omega who was raised to serve the greatest leaders of our group and no matter how I wished to know more about such a race, I could only ever do so through reading books. 

Of course, such books were just lent from a beta friend who had the privilege to own them. This didn't hide the fact, however, that humans were creatures filled with so much greed and other evil intentions. 

As it turned out, the humans that Alpha King Thomas battled with wanted to clear the entire forest, cutting down all the trees present and claiming them as their own. Enraged, Ajax's father did everything he could to protect the North. The battle went on for one entire night, right about when it was full moon. So every member of the pack present were in their strongest forms when they did face the trespassing humans. 

"Are you really from the Crescent Glacier's pack? The Larwoods' territory?" a werewolf named Timothy, a beta standing beside Elias Thornwheel, asked as he looked at me in suspicion. Elias who stood tall and mighty was also staring at me.

I couldn't refute these reactions at all. I wanted to tell them I, too, was surprised to find out these things only today. But I kept these to myself since I knew nobody would dare listen to my story anyway. It was a long one and people mostly wanted to hear what they wanted to hear. 

For an omega to share what's on her mind―this was a book that nobody would ever pick up and read in this world at all. 

As someone who was barely noticed aside from casual mockery and belittling times, I told them simply, "There are some things not everyone is allowed to hear... Anyway, forget about me, let's find Alpha Prince Ajax."

I really thought these people held great importance to what was happening in our territory, most especially to the Alpha King. Perhaps, they were here to lend a hand, or discuss some more important things... No matter what it was, I believed only alphas like Ajax would purely understand. 

Luckily, both Elias and Timothy agreed and we all began to head towards the garden. While trying to look for Ajax in each corner of this massive mansion, I've realized something that made me even curious than I already was.

There were no servants or other people to be found.

Why? 

It was only when we had reached the exit to the eastern wing side of the gigantic, concrete house, that I noticed four familiar people from our pack. These people were betas and if I remember it correctly, two of them were the closest to Ajax. They were male werewolf twins named Zen and Ren. One had golden eyes while the other had greyish eyes.

"Where's Alpha Prince Ajax?" I tried to ask them, using the same voice and greetings I usually used when I talked to them during the days Ajax would order me around. 

One of the beta twins, Ren, the one with golden eyes, gave me a glare as if I had done something bad, while Zen, the one with greyish eyes, gave me a somewhat pitiful stare.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Please tell me, where is Ajax?" I bravely asked once more. 

Ren frowned deeply as he took a step forward, almost wanting to attack me with his eyes. "It was all your fault, you damn omega..."

"Ren!" Zen called, stopping Ren from even moving towards me. "Stop it, Ren. Claire doesn't know anything."

Ren removed the arm grabbing him and began to look at me with some more disgust. "Ha, she doesn't know? Stop protecting disgusting things. If not for this crazy omega wanting our leader's son-"

"I said quit it!" Zen warned.

"Why should I? Zen, this bitch is the main cause of our pack's doom! It's all her fault!" Ren roared, eyes full of fury. 

"Why...?" I asked softly and suddenly, making everyone stopped and looked at me. I could feel all their eyes―Zen, Ren, the other two betas, and even Elias and Timothy―on me. 

"Why?" I began to mutter once again. With head hanging low and eyes staring at the ground, I began to feel the formation of something hot at the back of my eyes as I clenched my trembling fists. 

Slowly, I turned my head up to face them, uncontrollable hot tears strolled down my cheeks as I desperately begged for an answer to my forever question. 

"I'm just an omega trying to live... Why am I being blamed?"

Then came out a soft, almost breaking into a whisper voice that I could barely recognize as my own.

"What did I do to be hated this much?"

Must all hate fall into us just because we were considered the 'lowest' kind? Why must we all face such discrimination and loathing? 

What did I―we―ever do to be hated this much?

Being an omega and trying to live in peace―was it a sin after all?

"What's going on here?"

In that confusing moment where I could no longer feel my own self, I heard a familiar voice. A voice which paused all things at once as if he was made to make everyone turn to him and give full respects to. A voice which I know, whether my eyes were open or not, would never fail to bring me back to the present. 

"Alpha Prince...!" I heard both Ren and Zen call out.

I saw Ajax standing there, with two more betas in each of his side and one old man who I presumed to be one of the elders in our pack. 

"Claire, come here," I heard Ajax order.

    My eyes widened, horrified as I looked at Ajax. "No, stop him! Don't let her go!"All eyes came to me as in an instant, Ren appeared and caught me, bringing me to Ajax immediately.Trembling, I almost kneeled to Ajax as I begged, "Stop him! Don't let Ether go!" Were they really planning to give her to the enemies? Why? Why would they do that?Ajax ignored me, much to my disappointment, as I turned to look and saw Ether being dragged to the center.The Crown Prince, the royal blooded human, was silent for some time before he finally spoke. "And what of this person?"Ajax replied, "She will speak the truth to everyone."Murmurs began to rise and I held my breath, only staring at Ether who was standing at the center, face expressionless.I wasn't sure if it was just me or I noticed Ether glanced at something from the crowd before she finally opened he

    Witches took time to heal. I had learned from Shila and her books that most of the time, it took months and years for witches to recover once they were hurt or injured."I'm sorry it took me so long. Anyway, Claire, I must inform you beforehand that I and the rest of us could not help you with our magic for now. It took enough too much of our power to break the chain that stops us from communicating you. All we can do is guide you with our knowledge," Alix explained."It's okay," I replied. "As long as none of you got hurt."After exchanging information on what occurred since the day we parted, I slowly began to realize my captivity wasn't as simple as I thought it to be."You must prepare yourself, Claire." Jaderoot's founder, Minerva, advised. I could only count with my one hand the times she spoke to me before. It must really be an important matter for her to speak directly to me now. "The

    We both turned our heads immediately at the voice, finding an unexpected guest standing on the doorway of the highest floor of the tower."E-Elder Zarah..."Looking away, I slowly let go of the servant. If there was another person aside from Ajax and the servants who always come and go in this tower, it was Elder Zarah."You can go," Elder Zarah said as I felt the servant gave me a look before leaving through the door."Claire," she called and gestured to sit in front of her on a table. For the past weeks, Elder Zarah had been trying her best to talk about Ajax, her beloved grandson, and the Moon Goddess. On and on she wanted me to understand fate, of all things, and everything related to it.And by all means, my heart refused to understand even a single bit of those things. If there was one word I hated the most, it was that―fate."I heard you asking about marks and the ways to erase them. And here I thou

    When our eyes met, a howling sound of a heart full of despair resonated the place. Ajax knew where it came from, of course he knew.Everybody knew.But knowing didn't mean answering and never would it mean saving.There were two kinds of people in this world according to the founder of Jaderoot Order, Minerva. One was the person who suffered and the other was the one who watched."Luna Claire, please eat your food. The Alpha King would come soon. This servant begs, please eat your food."My eyes didn't leave the view outside the window, looking at the birds that continued to fly up in the sky. It was a sunny day and the air left no room to think of any possibility of rain.Pleased at the thought, my eyes followed the direction of the birds more."Please, Luna Claire," the servant, someone I didn't even know the name of, continued.Slowly, my head turned to look, assessing her from

    The sun looked down and the wind became humid. Ajax moved closer as he looked at me with a pair of serious, blue eyes."Follow me."Waking up from my surprise and fear mixing in to freeze me on the spot, I slowly moved my hands and pushed Ajax away from me. I looked around, trying to calm my nerves down, only to have my heart dropped the second my eyes caught sight of something...There were about twenty or more wolves present. On the trees, behind the bushes, on the grass... And in a distance away, there was Lagand. Then there was Lena and the rest... All of them were knocked unconscious and unmoving.I felt my body began to tremble as I muttered under my breath, "Let them go..."I couldn't help but feel my fisted hands trembled vehemently as I shot Ajax a glare when he didn't answer nor moved. "I said let them go, you monster!""You..." Ren exclaimed looking at me with so much anger and was about to attack me when Z

    "Claire-""Stay back!" I exclaimed, in a swift movement pulling my blade and placing it just an inch away from Elias' throat as I pulled him down the horse with me."Claire, Claire, please calm down, let me explain first," Shila said, eyes looking at me filled with emotions that I was extremely familiar with."What's wrong with you?" Elias whispered."You did this on purpose, didn't you? You're giving me away to those... those liars!" I told him, pointing the knife closer to his throat.Elias' voice became much lower, almost in disappointment as he said, "What are you saying? I was only going to ask for further directions and to rest. This isn't the Fifth Town yet. You can look at the sign on that roof."Frowning as I felt confused, I looked at the said sign at the right side just slightly above the house. On a board said the words "Blue Moon Tavern".A tavern...?"What, is that person
