*Poppy*

"Where are you rushing? You'll get tangled in that pretty dress and fall over."

Logan caught me just before I could run into a wall. In my reverie, and the lack of visibility through my teary eyes, I didn't notice that I was aiming for a wall, not a door, to check on my daughter.

"H-he. I-I didn't. He-he knows. Oh, my Goddess."

I stuttered, unable to form a coherent sentence due to my panicked state. Seamus was just down the stairs, probably gloating at his victory over me, knowing full well that with Tanner out of the picture, my claims were not valid. And the validation of the bond between us could be easily fixed by public rejection after listening to some stupid, meaningless scolding.

"Hold on, Poppy. Slow down and breathe." Logan recommended as he noticed my trembling body. I started taking deep breaths, still trembling in his grip.

"Breathe with me, Poppy. One – inhale. Two – exhale. Good. One more time." He instructed, and I followed.

My body was slowly obeying his comm

  • The Luna's Law   Chapter 158

    *Allegra de Gallo*The air in the room was stifling, thick with the weight of unshed tears and the lingering scent of loss. I stood by the window of my room in Brantford's Palace, my heart a churning tempest of grief and fury. The sun hung low in the sky, casting an ominous orange hue over the mourning courtyard where my brother's coffin lay. Wrapped in white silk, encircled by calla lilies and black roses, the elegant facade was a cruel joke - a mockery of the vibrant life he had once led. With each passing moment, the reality of his absence clawed at my insides like a wild beast, and I felt my pulse quicken, each heartbeat fueling the fire of my rage.Poppy - a name that now echoed like a taunt in my mind. She was the one who had failed him; she was the one who brought him to his fate. In my eyes, she wore the crown of betrayal like a dark halo. I clenched my fists until my

  • The Luna's Law   Chapter 157

    *Poppy*How did it happen that I am standing in the grand hall awaiting the arrival of the King of the European Lycan Royal family? I have no idea, but my knees are about to buckle as I sense the grave, dangerous aura approaching us.Two days had passed since Andrew and I had brought the body to the Palace. The air was thick with tension, and dark clouds loomed ominously outside, mirroring the storm brewing in my heart. I sat in my room in the Palace, staring out at the distant horizon, the sun struggling to break through the gray.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Dante's face. His laughter, his kindness, and the sparkle in his eyes felt like a cruel mirage, a memory I could no longer touch. The weight of what we had done felt unbearable. Andrew had assured me repeatedly that there would be no repercussions for our actions, that we had acted i

  • The Luna's Law   Chapter 156

    *Poppy*The air in the car felt heavy as we bounced along the dirt road, the rhythmic bounce of the wheels barely covering the chaos swirling in my mind. I couldn't shake the image of Dante's lifeless body, now shrouded in white silk and adorned with calla lilies and black roses. Each flower seemed to mock the tragedy, a haunting reminder of our failure. I gripped the edge of the seat, trying to steady my raging heart. The news we carried was more than just the death of a warrior; it was a ticking time bomb, threatening to ignite a war between kingdoms.Andrew sat behind the wheel, his face set in grim determination, yet I could see the worry flickering in his eyes. "We have to tell them, Poppy. They deserve to know.""I know," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. "But how do we explain that the snakes... the venom... it was all engineere

    *Poppy*The morning light filtered through my bedroom window, casting long shadows on the wall as I sat on the edge of my bed, gripping my phone. My heart sank when I heard the unwavering knock at the door. Who could it be this early? I rose cautiously to answer, my mind racing.As I opened the door, I found Alpha Albert standing there, his expression grim and urgent. The usual warmth in his eyes was replaced by a chilling seriousness that sent a ripple of fear down my spine. I had seen that face before, when the news was never good."Poppy, we need to talk.It'sabout Andrew and Dante,"

  • The Luna's Law   Chapter 154

    *Andrew*The narrow passageway I navigated felt like a dreamscape turned nightmare. Each footfall echoed, reminding me how far I had strayed from safety into this oppressive darkness. My instincts, honed through years of hardship and survival, screamed at me to return. The realization that my audacity had led me to a blind alley weighed heavily on my conscience. I had left Azize and Dante unguarded, and now those decisions gnawed at me relentlessly.In the distance, the air was thick with dread, punctuated by horrifying screams that clawed at my psyche. They resonated like the cries of the damned, reverberating off the crumbling walls, igniting a primal fear within me. I pressed forward, adrenaline coursing through my veins, bracing myself for what lay ahead. Whatever tragedy had befallen my sister and Dante, I felt it, like a shadow hovering just out of sight; there was something

  • The Luna's Law   Chapter 153

    *Dante de Gallo*The ruins loomed ahead, a forgotten relic wrapped in shadows and whispers. The air was thick with anticipation, and with it came an unsettling scent that danced around us - a potpourri of damp earth and something foul, like decay lingering just beneath the surface. Andrew, his face set with determination, led the way, his footsteps echoing eerily off the ancient stones."Over there," he pointed, his voice barely above a whisper as if even the air within these walls had ears. "That's where I spotted the traitors last night. I had left their remnants here, but burned them to ashes." He pointed to a scene that I could compare to a horror movie, considering the splattered blood and bits of skin stuck to the stones.Azize and I exchanged a wary glance, the unspoken concern settling heavily in our chests. We checked the nearest spots

  • The Luna's Law   Chapter 152

    *Dante de Gallo*The air was thick with tension as I sat in my dimly lit room in Andrew's mansion. The shadows flickered against the walls like whispers of the past. I had just agreed on a plan of action with Andrew and Azize, a fragile threat that could either lead to salvation or plunge us deeper into chaos. My heart pounded in the rhythm of my thoughts, each beat echoing the weight of responsibility resting on my shoulders. I knew I had to inform a few people close to my heart about my departure, and something in me pushed me into doing it sooner rather than later.The first call was to Poppy. I dialed her number, feeling the coiling anxiety in my stomach tighten as I waited for her voice to answer. When she picked up, it was as if the world around me faded, leaving only her warmth in the cold void.

  • The Luna's Law   Chapter 151

    *Andrew*As I stumbled through the grand entrance of my mansion, every inch of me was caked in mud, blood, and filth. The pristine white marble floors seemed to absorb my dirtiness, staining the grandeur with every step I took. I barely had time to wipe my brow before I was met with Sybilla's sharp gaze, her eyes narrowing as if I were a mere inconvenience disturbing her world of elegance."Andrew," she said coldly, her voice smooth and composed, though the tension around us cracked like static. I know that with one nod, a wave of the hand, or a croak, I could make this woman who obsessively cares about the cleanliness of someone else's residence shut up, disappear, or cease to exist. Still, she is the only one of the few who has the right to look at me like I'm a little shit-covered boy and demand respect for her work.Before I could reply, Pri

  • The Luna's Law   Chapter 150

    *Andrew*The moon hung low in the sky, casting a pale light over the valley, its glow starkly contrasting the swirling thoughts in my mind. The transport bearing King Alexander had been uneventful, butI couldn't shake the unsettled feeling that gnawed at my insides as I escorted him. The journey had been cloaked in safety, the shadows - my most trusted guards enveloping us like a protective veil. Yet, as the king's entourage faded into the night, I found myself grappling with existential questions that began to surface during a quiet conversation with the queen while we fled.The way she spoke struck a chord within me - a resonance that hinted at the troubling premonitions she harbored. Something was amiss, a specter lingering around the edges of our lives, and I knew I had to examine the trust placed in those closest to me. My life had been meticulously organized since Logan
