Semua Bab From ruin to the Lycan King's Luna: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Susanna's POV "That's absolutely ridiculous." Those three words successfully broke the silent tension I had built; like a hot knife slicing through butter. The scornful words came from the quiet Frist Fangs Elder. It was always the quiet ones. "Yeah, your prized technology cannot do half of what we can do." Elder Finger backed him a little too enthusiastically. Alpha Beard was already stroking his beard, words ready to spill through this bearded mouth. "So in essence, that cannot do anything to help us." "And that's exactly why Moonstone is now weaker than they used to be. Barely half their strength." Words coated without despair and venom came from the GrimFangs. "Thus, in the end, your desk is moot and this is just a big waste of our time." The final straw, and the one that did the honors was the Alpha of Frost Fangs himself. It was more than safe to say that everyone on this table had found a common ground, packs at each other's throat, in ridiculing technology. I sh

Derek's POV.There is always a new problem.It's been two weeks since Hercules walked into that dining room with a new problem, and since then, there have been a plethora of problems.We were losing alliances. At first it was one of two packs, thus, we were losing food slowly, and I had to do something about it, before it got noticeable. I had used more than half of the money in our coffers, money that we got from the technology I sold, to illegally buy out silos of packs weaker than us. I had thought that as long as we keep the alliance with the human community, then we will have more money.Wrong.First it was the silos getting burnt. The weaker Packs had retaliated into burning their silos with the reason, Hercules quote; "if we can't eat it, then they can't either."So then we were back to square one without even half of the money.The next three days were hell, I had tried everything, everything, to either regain the money we lost or the food. It was to no avail. The other Pavh

Derek's POV.Hercules didn't join me on the trip to Fiona's wing of the palace. He had never really accepted Fiona as the Luna, but since that day in the dining room, he had totally written her off existence, acting like her name was a mere word and not a person. A habit I was picking up.Godwin accompanied me on the walk, anxiety and adrenaline coursing through his steps, he took three steps in the time he used to take one, his hands were feverishly shaking, his eyes darting across every wall, every corner. He looked at me and winced, his eyes begging me to walk faster..I could not be less bothered. I walked at the pace my legs wished to carry me, my arms folded across my chest, my soul defeated. At Fiona's room, the guards saluted as usual, but there was a weird look in their eyes, like they were just doing routine, a dead, distant look in their eyes. I guess even the guards have lost their will to live. I stepped inside to meet the other two guards I had stationed in her room, u

Fiona's POV "I don't hit women, but I hit lunatics." Derek's words sunk into my skull, and was playing on repeat in my head, like a bad record. A Lunatic.That was what Derek thought of me. A complete lunatic.I was no longer a Luna.Was I really a Lunatic now?.I sat on the carpet my pile of clothes had made for the floor of my room. I had pulled out the clothes because the ground was too cold, and I had no carpet. I wanted more than anything to not feel the chill I had the first night of my confinement.Yet, as I sat her with all these clothes around me, the last thing on my mind was the temperature. My joints were dislocated, my bones broken, all because of my new identity as a lunatic. My wrists were bent in odd angles, looking like a sad stick figure with a face, my knees were not spared either, and one of my ankles was twisted.I sat still, letting the pain sear through me, taking me apart, completely submitting to the pain as I could not do anything in the first place.It

Derek's POV."If you sigh one more time, I'm gonna have your head on a stake." Godwin gasped nervously, fumbled with his words as he said "I'm sorry, Alpha." I collapsed into the desk, and let out a heavy sigh, surprised myself at how long and deep it was."Alpha- did you really have to do that?" Godwin's words were careful, like the was scared to upset me."And since when did you start to have opinions?" I glared at him, rolling my eyes at him. He gulped loudly, and extremely annoying sound, he makes when he's nervous."Alpha, I just think that was too hard, she is pregs after all " He said again.I swear this guy, only listens to himself."If you have any braincells to think, you would figure a way to save DarkMoon from extinction!" I yelled at him.He flinched and took a few steps back from the desk, his head bowed low into his chest.."I am sorry Alpha." His voice was meek..I let out a groan and dragged my palm across my face. This was one deaf Beta I got here."I don't want
