The Vengeful Luna of Shadow のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

(Anna)After we had finished our dinner, I had to use the restroom so I excused myself."I will clear the bill and take Oliver to the car. You can join us there," Asher said, taking Oliver's hand."It's my treat, I will pay the bill," I informed him, grabbing my bag."Consider it my treat, this time around. Maybe next time," Asher said and I nodded feeling slightly special to be treated by the Alpha King.Making my way to the restroom I relieved myself and then proceeded to wash my hands and face.Drying them I exited the restroom only to be blocked by a tall blonde with a neon pink peplum dress accentuating her curvy body. She wore more makeup than necessary giving her a look of a prepped-up Barbie doll and that scowl on her face screamed trouble."You are here with Mr Ludwig. What does he see in someone so plain?" She sneered and I had to let out a huff. These girls and the jealousy that stemmed from them."Simplicity, maybe he is allergic to blondes with pink fetish," I retorted ba

(Anna)Seeing Noah's face change colours like a chameleon gave me more satisfaction than I could have imagined. His mouth was opened like a fish out of water seeing Oliver.It seemed like he recognised him, at least. Taking the opportunity to embarrass him some more, I made the introductions, pointing towards Asher."This is Mr Asher Ludwig, the renowned Alpha King and my employer."Noah visibly gulped, trying to hide his surprise and astonishment. He had literally made a fool of himself in front of the very person he wished to make an impression.The ear-splitting grin on my face kept widening the more I stared at Noah's. Asher sideglanced me with his eyebrows raised and I quickly adjusted my smile so it wouldn't be too obvious."I apologise for my offensive behaviour Alpha King, I didn't know…" Noah's voice weakened instantly and took on a flattering tone. His face was ashamed.Asher blatantly ignored him and without saying a word turned towards Oliver and gathered him up in his arm

(Anna)After the long and joy-filled day at the mall, we headed home. Oliver had fun, he was playing with the red toy car I had bought for him.Reaching home I put away the new clothes we had bought today in his closet. Extracting a pair of new sleeping suits in a sky blue shade I told Oliver to take a bath, brush his teeth and change.I was still arranging his closet when Oliver appeared from the bathroom with his nightshirt open and posing like an action hero. His fingers combed his wet hair.I laughed at his actions but knew he would grow up to be as handsome as his father one day. She-wolves would fight for his attention and he would be one popular alpha male."You are going to be a heartthrob for the she-wolves. They will be envious of your attention." I teased while hanging his clothes in the closetOliver stepped closer to me as he proudly spoke, puffing his tiny chest out."I have been training with my pack since I was four. I plan to become a successful successor to my father

(Anna)His sudden question threw me off, making my mouth hit the ground with shock. A wave of warmth travelled through me and I wondered if he was joking or was serious.One could never tell with Asher. Was he being sincere or merely mocking me to prompt a reaction?Before I could formulate an answer, Oliver dragged me along towards the pirate boat."Hurry! I want side seats," Oliver jabbered as Asher followed us on sure and confident steps. A small smile twisting his lips.I knew this was a topic we needed to approach subtly and not in a hurry, definitely not like this.So I avoided approaching the topic for now.We settled in the boat and belted up. Oliver perched between Asher and me and was over-excited for the ride. It had been a while since I had taken this one.The boat began to gradually swing, picking up pace with every completed swing. Soon it was fast enough to make people and their pups scream.To my surprise, Oliver was sitting normally with his hands raised. The air swep

(Author's POV)Anna followed Oliver into the haunted house. The area was shrouded in darkness, the eerie silence enveloped them. It was broken only by the distant howls of wolves. In the distance, they saw the flickering lanterns casting long, twisted shadows on the ground. The path led to an opening with gnarled trees, their branches reaching out like skeletal hands.Anna couldn't help but be impressed with the way it had been developed. She caught up to Oliver and tried to hold his hand. The dense fog swirled around their feet, obscuring the uneven ground and adding to the feeling of disorientation."Let go, Anna," he yelled in frustration as the air was cold and damp, carrying the scent of decay and something else, something primal.Suddenly the rogue werewolves appeared. They emerged from the shadows, their eyes glowed menacingly red. Their costumes were disturbingly realistic, with matted fur, sharp claws, and fangs that glistened in the dim light. They moved with an unnatural ag
