LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV Mr. Asterbelle was the worst among all of the people I've ever encountered in this lifetime. He wasn't the type of person who'd be merciful against anyone, even if they were related to each other or not. He was willing to kill anyone who planned to get in his way, especially those who had the intention of destroying the Blood Moon Pack—the pack that never had any flaws or records of defeat. The circulation of my blood has temporarily stopped, making it seem like I am lifeless. It was the only way I could think of to make my father release me from his strong grip, but my scheme was easily found out. "Pretending to die from a mere choke isn't going to work on me, Luna. Are you taking me as a fool?" he asked. I let all of my remaining strength flow to the lower part of my body as I stroked him in a single blow, which resulted in my continuous gasps for air while he effortlessly stood b

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV "I heard you loud and clear, Luna." Jerome's voice echoed inside the room, which was soon followed by the sound of explosives outside the mansion. "Stand up; don't show your weak side to that type of man, Luna. You should only shiver and cry when I'm the reason," he said as he made his entrance. Jerome broke through the walls and all of the barricades that Brian set up a while ago. It was the first time after all those past months that I've seen Jerome shift with his wolf. My heart throbbed as I met his gaze; those red eyes of his never ceased to ignite the spark within me. All the wolves I previously met had similar black eyes, and Jerome was the only one different, excluding myself. "You're persistent. How did you even break free from my prison realm?" Brian questioned Jerome, but he didn't bother to respond. I instantly felt lighter in the next few seconds, as if I hadn't gone th

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV On the night of the same day, the six of us headed over to the Crimson Moon Pack, together with some of the clan members who had survived earlier. The security wasn't that tight, but Jerome and I still chose the path we took from where we left off. My mother stuck with Yve and Joseph, while Jazpher accompanied us a few meters away from our position so that he could warn us of any incoming ambush. "Luna, stay in the dormitories' safe zone," Jerome told me, which I instantly refused. Yuki wasn't able to arrive at the Dark Shadow Clan, so we had no other option but to invade their pack instead. Everything in our surroundings made my shoulders stiff, as if there was someone or something sitting on them. Jerome must've also sensed it, since he kept on placing his hands above his shoulders. A few minutes after a long and tiring journey, we finally reached the dormitories, which were still

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV The entire world seemed to stop for me when Jerome fainted right in front of me, and I wasn't even able to do anything at that point other than stare at him lying on the ground with his eyes still closed. I couldn't even ask for anyone's help since I was the only one with him in that cell. I know that my mom, Yve, and even Joseph saw what happened here, but I doubt that they could help him. "Jerome?" I called him in hopes that he'd ask why, but I didn't receive any sort of response from him. "No, wait... This can't be happening. This might be just a dream," I muttered as I continuously shook my head, trying to convince myself that this wasn't reality, or maybe I was just hallucinating and that this was one of the side effects of the Crimson Moon Pack's virus. I tried to remain as calm as possible. Losing my focus at this moment would only endanger Jerome's life more. Though that was

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV My wolf automatically sulked within the depths of my soul as I witnessed how Shin ruthlessly took the life of the innocent shaman who I was expecting to save Jerome. Lizzy died in the hands of the person she feared the most, and I couldn't even do anything for her. I would carry this burden of guilt for the rest of my life. I was no longer in my awakened form. I went back to my human appearance, and I couldn't even let a tiny bit of aura emit through my body. The feeling of losing someone completely washed through me, like I had no choice but to deal with it. With both of my knees on the ground and my clenched fists above my thighs, I knew that it was the end for me as well. Even if I knew that everything would turn out this way, I still chose to take the risk. My keen senses abandoned me, even though my vision wasn't that efficient anymore. I couldn't grow out m
