LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVI saw how fast Jerome’s naturally black eyes were turned into those crimson eyes of his, which were paired with his gray hair. If he’s starting to turn into this state, then he’s probably being consumed by his wolf. I still can’t say for sure if the moon goddess and Jerome really had a relationship with one another as mother and son, but I can surely assure you that there’s a connection between the two of them, even way back when I got to know of his identity.I simply had no idea what it was as of the moment, but if it enrages him to the point that he’d want to torture me alive, then that just means that he hates Althea. "C-can you calm down for now, Jerome? We’re not on the premises of Grimstone; we don’t have a clue what can happen here," I quickly said to stop him from delivering another fatal blow that I’m not prepared for.He’s probably ten centimeters taller than I am now. He used to be slimmer than me before he went missing. For all of the years that I hav

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV‘Save yourself; forget everyone else.’A murmuring voice kept echoing through the depths of my mind. It was faint, but I kind of recognized where the voice was coming from.‘Jerome?’ I thought to myself, waiting for at least any type of response from him that would confirm that my inference was right. Although a minute flew by and no one talked back to me."You’re coming with me whether you like it or not," Jazpher said as he grasped one of my forearms, aggressively pulling me together with him.There were a lot of people watching as I made my entrance to their castle. Not a single one among them was interested in actually knowing who I was; all of them just seemed to be anticipating my death and the very moment that they would be able to get hold of my blood. My body was turning cold from the low temperature of the room that he brought me into.Jazpher decided to leave me behind as he threw me on the couch without saying anything else. A small drop of sweat fell

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVThe red carpet was smoother than my skin texture. All of the properties that surrounded me kept on shining with their brilliance. After a few minutes of that person’s disappearance, Jazpher literally changed the way that he approached me. He even led me to the rightful destination where I was tasked to go."Thanks," I murmured, then bowed my head for a second to show a little bit of courtesy despite the cruelty of his actions. I have no authority to further lecture him, as I'm only an ordinary citizen."My pleasure, Miss Asterbelle. Tell me if you need anything else," Jazpher replied. His hand, which formed a tight ball, was placed on the side of his chest, which slightly made me flinch as I thought that I was being treated like some sort of princess back there. "Be extra cautious of your words. He’s not the same kind as us, but he’s seriously a formidable being. You must always obey each and every single command of his—King Dawn is someone that can take our whole

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVMy life has been a misery ever since the day that I got out of the orphanage… or maybe this had been written on my fate all along. I totally envy all of those other living creatures who have nothing to get in between their ambitions for the future. Mr. and Mrs. Asterbelle gave me a lot of reasons to be disappointed in them instead of inspiring me to follow their path.If, right from the start, they informed me just how much they despised vampires like me, then I could've mentally prepared myself. If I knew that most of them would end up acting differently towards me only because of my identity, then I should’ve trained myself to be independent.It literally stinks how I am being reliant on someone else’s strength—the man in the hoodie, Eman, in particular. I have no clue when he would rather choose to ignore me whenever I need him than to help me survive.And speaking of survival, the last words that King Dawn mentioned earlier still bother me. Exactly what is he

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POVThe atmosphere suddenly changed right after I uttered my query. It doesn't seem to me like Eman has any plans to tell me about it, so I attempted to change the subject. "How did you end up here? Why would you bother saving someone as dangerous as me, knowing that a day would surely come sooner or later wherein I'd be the reason for this world's destruction?" I asked.Eman moved away, then stood up while holding both of my arms to assist me in rising as well."The appropriate time will come for me to explain everything that I know. I'll always be here to keep you safe from harm, so don't worry." Eman brushed off the strands of my hair that blocked my eyes. "Whether it's a fact that you'd bring misfortune to this world, I don't give a f*ck. You're still the same woman that I adore. You're you, Luna."An instant heat flared up on my cheeks, which caused me to blush... Or so I thought."L-Luna!" He yelled out my name even though he was already standing in front of me.
